Alex made his way down to the ring for a little private match he and a certain tiger set up! The 24-year-old, 5'2" and 145lbs. meerkat was clad in his usual attire of black and white pleather pants and fingerless gloves, going barefoot as he usually does. Once he reached the ring, he slid in under the bottom rope and moved over to one of the corners, starting his pre-match stretches as he waited for his feline foe to arrive!

Ricky couldn't remember the last time he wore his signature singlet: a black one with an orange chest-sweep pattern running from the left shoulder to the right thigh. This time, though, he decided to add on black elbow and knee pads to this getup. The 24-year-old tiger, standing at 5' 11" and 175 lbs. of toned muscles, made his way out to the ring and climbed in between the ropes once he made it to the ring edge. He moved to the opposite corner from the meerkat and did his own warm-up stretches as he looked to Alex. "Alright. Ready to do this bud?"

Alex placed his foot on the top rope, stretching out that leg as he watched the tiger arrive. He was taller and heavier, but build-wise he was pretty similar. The meerkat figured he didn't need to worry too much about getting overpowered at least. Turning to face Ricky fully, he lifted his paws and waved his tail around with a smirk. "Almost. What rules you wanna run by, cat? Regular pinfall and submission? First to score a knockout? Long pins only?"

Ricky thought a moment as he finished up his stretches. "Hmmmm....we could just do a three-count pinfall or submission match. Sound good?"

"Keep things nice and simple, huh? Alright then. Won't save you from a crushing defeat, though~" Alex added a little toothy grin at the end of that sentence as he started moving to the middle of the ring, ready to start things off!

Ricky grinned as he moved to the middle of the ring as well, towering above the meerkat as he looked down on him. For once, he enjoyed the fact he was significantly bigger than his opponent. "We'll see about that, Kat~"

"Heh...we will." Alex then attempted to start things off with a basic lockup against the tiger! Nice and simple: Lock arms and push against the larger male, seeing where he stood against him in terms of power!

"Grrr!" Ricky grinned as he locked arms with the meerkat, immediately pushing back.

Alex grits his teeth, hisses quietly and does his best to hold his ground and push back! The meerkat's arms and chest flexing a little with effort and, after a bit of a stalemate, he's eventually pushed back a step which is then followed by another! When it became clear that Ricky would soon overwhelm him, the kat suddenly stops pushing and tries to fall back and plant a foot on the kitty's belly, wanting to monkey flip him up and over him!

Ricky huffed and groaned some once that foot connected to his belly, but kept his weight planted so he wouldn't get flipped over the meerkat. He quickly let go of the lockup and grabbed at the meerkat's leg, yanking it to force the kat to fall on his ass, then looked to try getting it in a figure-four leglock.

Alex blinks and squeaks loudly as he finds himself on the mat and then a moment later, with the tiger trying to tangle his larger legs up with his smaller ones! Hissing loudly and knowing he couldn't let his legs get taken out, he kicked like mad with his one leg before it could be secured, trying to get Ricky to back off.

"Ow! Tch! Gah!" Ricky just got the hold in but not without getting his side banged up from the meerkat's wild kicks. "That's it you little shit!" He undid his legs from around the kat's but kept a hold of his leg. As he stood back up, he tried to grab at Alex's other leg and hook both of them under his arms, looking to toss the kat in a Giant Swing throw into who-knows-where!

Alex quickly tries to scoot on back, but the angry cat was too quick and got hold of his legs and before he knew it, his body was up off the mat and he was being spun around! The meerkat quickly brought his arms up to protect his head and braced before squeaking loudly as he was let go and slammed down onto the mat, sliding back until he ended up in the corner, on his butt and against the turnbuckle all dizzy meerkat-like.

Ricky had to take a moment to make sure he didn't fall over dizzy himself after that throw, shaking his head a little. He quickly looked for the meerkat and would stomp towards him, grabbing him by his head to lift him up. Once he had the meerkat stood up, he tried to get Alex's head in a front facelock and grab at his waist, looking to throw him in a vertical suplex.

Alex shakes his head and winces as he just tried to regain his focus from taking that spin and tumble! When he felt those paws on his head, he growled and at first let the tiger lift him to his feet, but once he was up his paws shot up towards Ricky's head and the meerkat himself tried to drop down onto his ass before he was put in that front headlock. Sneaky kat was trying to pull Ricky's jaw down on top of his head for a mean sitout jawbreaker!

"Gaaaahhh!" Ricky felt a sudden, searing pain in his mouth as the quickly covered it with his paws. He felt a throbbing in his head when he stumbled and fell on his ass on the canvas. He uncovered his mouth and looked at his paw pads as he tried to stand back up, noticing his mouth started bleeding from that jawbreaker. "You're dead kat!" He growled as he glared at Alex.

Alex hissed and rubbed the top of his head before pushing back to his feet, looking over at Ricky and perking his ears up at the threat before growling at him. "Kiss my ass, cat!" He yelled back before suddenly charging forward to launch a dropkick into the tiger's chest before he could fully stand back up.

Ricky just got up, only to be met with two feet to the chest. He grunted loudly as he got knocked down again, droplets of blood spraying wherever. He quickly tried to get back up before the meerkat, though noticed how quick Alex was on his feet! Trying to act just as fast, he quickly charged low for a double-leg takedown, throwing his weight onto the meerkat.

Alex landed on his side with a grunt of his own before scrambling back up and chases after the tiger, intent on keeping the pressure on! Or at least he would have liked to if the damn cat didn't go for his legs, slamming him down with a yelp and leaving him trying to claw his way back away from the other male!

Ricky still held onto one of the meerkat's legs as he kept himself pressed on top of him, not allowing Alex to escape! He would give a quick elbow strike to the kat's chest before lifting that leg and pressing his arm across Alex's chest for a quick pin attempt.

Alex worms and squirms around like the best of them, but that elbow stopped him long enough to get pinned with a stinging hiss! He still had plenty of fight in him and tried to force a shoulder up just as the first count hit! "Get your heavy ass body off me!"

Ricky had to get off of the meerkat once he felt his shoulder jump. He did just that, but still kept a hold of Alex's leg and would give him a heavy stomp to his stomach before dropping that leg on the mat. He would then back away some towards the middle of the ring and crouch some, occasionally wiping his muzzle from his bleeding mouth.

Alex managed to stop the pin! Huzzah! He then got a tiger foot paw slamming down on his tummy. That hurt! The kat whined and rolled onto his side, coughing and hugging his gut for a moment before going onto his front and trying to force himself back up to a vertical base.

Ricky panted and took this time to catch his breath, letting the meerkat take his time to stand back up. It took so much willpower not to lick around the inside of his mouth and just let whatever's cut bleed out, at least for the rest of the match. He rubbed his jaw with a paw quick while watching what the meerkat will try to do once he gets back up.

Alex got his feet under him, ears and tail twitching as he rubbed his gut before breaking into a run and throwing caution to the wind, leaping up and tried to surprise the other male with a nice big crossbody! Let's see how tigers deal with flying meerkats!

Ricky could easily see Alex charging at him and leaving himself wide open. He didn't care either, because he would charge and jump at the meerkat to attempt a spear tackle!

Alex leaps up and...

YELPS!

Poor meerkat just got speared out of the air and lands with a heavy thud on his back! Okay, that one hurt a LOT! He writhed around and clutched at his poor gut after getting a beefy tiger shoulder slammed into it.

Ricky pants for a moment as he hovers over the meerkat, knowing Alex won't retaliate anytime soon. He eventually flops on top of the kat, positions himself on his chest again, and raises a leg for another pin attempt.

Alex pants and gasps as he just tries to get his breath back from that mean spear! He was pinned and stayed mostly passive for the first count, but right after the second one hit, he went all stubborn kat and tried to throw an arm up!

"Dammit!" Ricky slammed the meerkat's leg down as leaned back up on his knees, knowing his lower lip was starting to get covered in blood by now. He managed to get on one knee and eventually would stand fully. Once he did, he went to flip the meerkat over and stand over him to grab at his legs again, looking to bring the pain on Alex in a Boston crab!

Alex pants quietly once more as he's released from that pin, trying to crawl away but instead he gets turned right over and that bendy spine is rolled up and tested good! Hissing and wincing loudly, the first thing he did was look for the closest ropes before trying to push his paws down on the canvas and push his upper body up, trying to take away some of the leverage while also trying to inch to the ropes.

Ricky could feel the squirmy meerkat move around, not realizing how close they were to the ropes. Keeping a hold of Alex's legs, he would try to walk them away from the ropes and torque back more with that Boston crab. The tiger was not letting the meerkat get out that easily!

Alex got within grabbing distance of the ropes, but just before he could grab them, the tricky tiger started walking them away instead! Not being able to force a break sucked, but with a bit of the pressure and leverage gone with having to move the meerkat, he tried to force his legs down straight during that moment and get Ricky to stumble forward and lose his grip.

Ricky growled when the meerkat moved his legs downward as he walked them, soon enough feeling his grip loosen and slamming face-first on the canvas.

"Gaahh!! OOOOWWWWWW!!!"

That only rattled his sore jaw more. The tiger quickly tried to get up before Alex, holding his bleeding jaw as he did so.

Alex felt a wave of relief go through his back once he was no longer being bent in half from the feline. Grunting and rubbing his lower back for a few moments, he pulled himself over to the ropes, using them to help pull himself back up to his feet as well.

"Grrrr!!" As soon as the meerkat would get up, Ricky would go for a shoulder charge, looking to fire the meerkat right out of the ring!

Getting up to his feet, Alex's ears perked up and he turned just in time to see Ricky charging like a bull towards him! Well, he couldn't just allow all this to happen now, could he? At the last moment the meerkat tried to drop down and just let the tiger sail past him and clear out of the ring on his own.

Well, that made it...how many times now he threw himself out of the ring in his career!?

He awkwardly flew between the top and middle ropes, his feet hitting them as he sailed past and tumbled right onto the concrete. He groaned, laying there a moment before he began to get on his feet. "Uuggh...sonofabitch!"

That bought the meerkat some breathing room. Huzzah! Not something he was going to squander however by just sitting down. When Ricky got back to his feet after that nasty little tumble, Alex grabbed the top rope and just flung himself over them, trying to come down on top of the other male with a big crossbody from the ring to the outside.

Ricky rubbed the back of his neck after standing up fully, only to look up and see a flying meerkat coming straight at him! He tried to widen his stance and get his arms up, but fell on his back with a meerkat on top of him, screaming as the back of his head hit the concrete from the fall.

Alex grunts loudly as he lands on top of the tiger, breaking his fall somewhat and leaving him laying across him for the next few moments, panting quietly. Eventually he pushed up to his knees. looking down at the hurting Ricky before reaching for his wrist to try and pull him up and roll him back into the ring.

Ricky groaned, letting the meerkat pull him back up. But before Alex could put him back in the ring, the tiger grabbed at the meerkat's head and would try to slam it right on the ring edge before getting back in himself.

Alex was looking to take advantage once he got Ricky back in the ring, but instead he got his head rung by the apron when Ricky slammed it down on there. Yelping loudly and dropping to a knee, he was left to nurse a headache for a moment before shaking it off the best he could, trying to roll into the ring afterwards.

Once the meerkat got back in the ring and started to stand up again, Ricky would grab at his head again, putting it in a front side headlock. He would then quickly try to grab at the meerkat's waistband and pull his pants down just below his asscheeks, then toss him up and over in a vertical suplex, slamming his bare ass on the canvas.

"Ack!" He squeaked as the tiger puts him in the headlock. Just as he was going to try and fight the tiger off, the cat played down and pulled his pants down, leaving him to yelp and change his focus to that, leaving him open to the suplex which made him cry out loudly as he slammed onto the canvas! While down and writhing around to get on his knees, he instinctively started pulling his pants back up as well.

Ricky wanted to end this. After straightening back up, he immediately spun around and dropped on top of the meerkat while he was down, grabbing and hooking his leg for another pin attempt.

Alex groaned out loudly as he gets put flat on his back with 175lbs. of singlet-clad tiger on top of him. For the first two counts, he was cooperative. When it came time for the third to hit though, he shot his arm up with a bark, trying to break the pin!

Ricky roared and slammed the meerkat's leg down after he broke the pin. He quickly stood back up, only to immediately elbow drop on the kat's gut, lifting a leg and going for another pin attempt!

Alex panted quietly after breaking the pin, though he didn't have time to celebrate as that elbow buried itself into his gut, driving the air out of him and leaving him in another pin. Just like before though, he'd try to get a shoulder up just before the three, though it was going to be even closer that last time.

Ricky growled and got off the meerkat, standing up and looming over him.

"That's it!"

He would then grab the meerkat by his head to lift him up and turn him around. The tiger would try to hook both his arms around Alex's, placing his paws flat against his back, then attempt to toss the meerkat up and over and pin him in for his finisher: a tiger suplex!

Alex whines and pushes against the tiger, but those two last shots had left him a little on the woozy side. His arms were hooked behind him and before he knew it, he was landing on his head and shoulders from the tiger suplex! That one did it. The impact and the pinning position leaving the kat with no way of kicking out a third time.

Ricky growled and strained a bit in his arched pose; he's still not quite used to pulling off suplexes, let alone ones that end in a pin attempt. But at least he only had to hold it until the autoref gave the full three count, and he felt no struggle from the meerkat during the pin. Once the count was up, he released Alex and awkwardly straighten himself back up, rubbing his lower back a bit. "Man...gotta get used to those..."

Alex, on the other hand, simply flopped down onto his back at the end of all that, groaning loudly and just trying to let the cobwebs clear after taking that suplex.

Ricky turned around and rubbed his jaw some; it wasn't bleeding anymore, but still stung like a sonofabitch. He looked to the dazed meerkat and chuckled, extending his other paw out. "Need any help?"

"Owww...no thanks...I'm good..." Alex replied, staying on his back and rubbing his head, feeling fairly content to just lay down for a while after that fight.

Ricky pulled his arm away and chuckled. "If you say so--agh..." He then decided to sit next to the meerkat, though eventually laid on his back as well, still nursing at his jaw some. As many times they both slammed each other down on this vary canvas, it always felt quite comfortable just laying down on it and relaxing after a good spar.
