Elina vs Phil

Recap

Elina came into this match determined. She always looks focused, but it was clear that she was especially focused this time.

Phil had hurt her girlfriend and Elina intended on giving him payback.

Phil on the other hand looked unfazed. We asked him about the last incident and he shrugged and said “it happens”.

It better not happen again, we told him.

Elina was the aggressor when the match started. Phil had clearly made the mistake of judging her by her size and before he knew it, she was all wrapped around him.

But Phil wouldn’t give up.

Elina hooked his leg and tangled her own in an awkward side figure-4 around his neck. 

No matter how tight she squeezed, he wouldn’t give up.

Call it male pride, or defiance, but whatever it was, it didn’t pay off for Phil. Elina managed to put the big man to sleep, after he refused to submit to her.

Elina sneered at the snoring big man through gritted teeth. This was just the beginning of the revenge she planned to dish out.

When Phil woke up, he made sure that he was the aggressor to start the next round. 

Once he caught Elina in a front facelock, it became clear she was overmatched. None of her tricks could pry his big bicep from around her neck.

Elina was just as stubborn as Phil was. She refused to submit.

This time, it wasn’t long before Elina passed out.

Phil looked down at her with satisfaction.

When they collided in the next round, Phil grabbed a bearhug while Elina jumped at him for a bodyscissor. 

Elina found it tough to get a good grip on his wide torso, as she doesn’t have the leg length that some of the girls on the roster do. Phil, on the other hand, had no problem squeezing her with his bearhug.

Phil rag-dolled Elina in the bearhug, lifting her up off the mat so her feet weren’t even touching the ground. He swung her around and tightened his grip until she finally gave up the match.

Elina has been able to overcome size disadvantages in the past, but this one was just out of her reach. Phil was far too big and far too strong to overcome with skill. Especially given that he had significant wrestling experience himself.

Elina really wanted a penalty round match, but this time it was her who had to suffer the consequences of her request.

Phil twisted and bent her body in ways she didn’t know it could go. At one point he bent her foot back so far he made it touch her own head.

We will give Phil some credit: we could tell he was letting up a bit when Elina was really squealing. Of course, he won’t admit to it, but he was looking to dominate this time and not injure. 

Good for him.
