| Ding, Ding, Ding!!!
Riley crosses to the middle of the squared circle and steps right up to Kanimanic with the same dominant presence he has always had. The Former Hardcore Champion to hold the icy cold gaze of The Dragon Tamer until his gaze is forced down as Riley extends a hand. Kanimanic hesitates for only a moment before accepting Riley’s hand, The Cleveland Crowd cheering a tad louder at the sign of good sportsmanship. the two competitors break off and back away from each other, retreating to far corners of the ring as XWA referee Ryn Sanu steps between the two men. Sanu checks the status of both, each man nodding in the affirmative, before Ryn waves for the opening bell. With three solid chimes, this match is officially underway. Riley and Kanimanic slowly step forward as the chimes of the opening bell fade away into the stationary volume of the Cleveland Crowd. Riley raises his hands for a lock up but Kanimanic does not follow suit, Kani instead raising his fists in more of a boxing stance, his fists primed and ready to strike. Riley either ignores this stance or doesn't notice as the two begin to circle, Riley going for the first move as he ducks low and swipes at Kanimanic’s left ankle. The Dragon Tamer slides his leg back quickly and catches Riley across the chin with an astonishingly fast right jab that sends him back a step. The Former Hardcore Champion rubs his chin for a moment, taken aback at Kanimanic’s tactics right off the bat. Riley slowly steps back to meet Kani at center ring, Riley raising his hands in anticipation this time as the two begin to circle once again. The Floridan Native tries to feel Kanimanic out, but The Dragon Tamer just circles without making a single move. His impatience getting the better of him, Riley suddenly lunges in for a collar and elbow tie-up, but finds no one there as Kani ducks underneath and lashes out with a swift right forearm to the side of Riley’s midsection. The Floridan Native staggers a step to the side and doubles over slightly which allows Kanimanic to step up and clasp a side headlock on his younger opponent. Riley tries to break himself free immediately and turns his body into Kani’s, Riley using this position to force Kanimanic back into the near corner. Kani breaks the hold, as expected of him, and Riley takes advantage as he drives a powerful knee up into the midsection of The Dragon Tamer. Kani doubles over from the force of the blow and allows Riley the opening to drive a powerful forearm of his own down across his shoulders. Kanimanic forces himself back up to his full vertical base in an attempt to protect himself, but Riley takes this as an opportunity to connect with a right hand to Kani’s jaw. The punch seems to spur Kani on however, as The Dragon Tamer shoves Williamson back and returns with a right hand of his own.
Riley attempts to retaliate with another knee to the midsection but Kanimanic slides the strike with a well timed side step. Riley loses his footing for a moment and that moment is all is necessary for Kani to connect with another right hand to The Floridan Native’s jaw. The Dragon Tamer drives forward with not one, two, or three more strikes, but seven. Seven strike, fives punches, one forearm, and one elbow, connect with the head and neck of The Former Hardcore Champion as he is driven back by Kanimanic. Forced back against the ring ropes as he attempts to cover up, Riley is left with few options as he is pummeled by The Former XWA Champion. Yet suddenly Riley is pulled away from the ropes, dazed for a moment as Kanimanic grabs Riley’s forearm and long-darts him towards the ropes, bending his upper-body towards the ground with his head facing Riley, who ricochets off the rope but sees what Kanimanic’s doing, Before Kani can even do anything, Riley rolls over Kani’s back rather quickly. Kani only feels a faint movement above him and looks up quizzically, turning around. He spins around on one leg, admittedly rather impressively, however he spins around right into a huge dropkick from Riley! Kani drops to the floor, as the fans show their appreciation for the sequence. Riley, seeing an opportunity to put Kani away early, pulls Kani’s leg up and holds it in his hand as he turns a full ninety degrees around it. But Kani, he knows exactly what Riley is doing. as he kicks Riley away from him using his free leg. Standing to his feet again, Riley turns around into a kick to his chest with the leg he just tried to put in a hold, a quick punch to the face and then finishing up with an armdrag takedown. Grabbing Riley by the scruff of his neck, Kani pulls him back up to his feet. Rather foolishly, Kani makes his second mistake. While a fast paced match so far, Riley moves quick before Kani can react. Grabbing the back of Kani’s head, he drives it into his elbow right before Kani can even think of his next thing. Once again, Riley hits Kani with another elbow to the face, and then a chop to the chest, prompting a loud "wooo!" from the crowd as it usually does, then finally Riley takes Kani down with a kick to the back of the legs, tripping The Former XWA Champion and leaving him to land rather brutally on the back of his head. Even the fans wince. The back of his head now warming from the pain, Kanimanic pulls himself up to his feet his hand on the back of his head. And Riley remains on the prowl. Seeking Kani’s weakness. Kani stumbles slightly as he reaches his feet and Riley hooks his arm around Kani’s head, meeting it with his opposite hand in a side-headlock. A very simple maneuver but it's effective at this point in time as Riley squeezes that lock on Kani’s head. He's not stopping there, though. as he pulls Kani over and sets him down back-first on the mat while still maintaining the headlock, and holding on for dear-life. Kani stuck in there, and he ain't getting out any time soon.
Ted Cedar:
So far into this match up, it has all been about Chain Wrestling. Keeping the more bigger guy down and waisting him. They both know that Tonight is not going to be just simply a walk in the park.
Joey Miles:
Exactly. Both of these individuals are so talented and that say’s alot coming from me who hates these two men with passion and what thy stand up for. What they represent. But, we can expect alot of tactics being used tonight.
Riley works on that headlock more and more, as Sanu hops in and drops down into position around Kani there on the ground, asking him on a constant loop if he gives in, if he's not gonna continue, if he's down and out of it. Meanwhile a clap fires up from the crowd, a unanimous and simutainous show of support for The 2010 King of Xtreme Winner. The man himself struggles and inches his way along. Riley, like a rock on top of him, doesn't even budge from position. Kani however, uses what little room he's got to slowly move sideways, upways, downways- any which way he can to get close to a rope. He's near one but he just can't get it. He's got a few more inches to go but Riley is becoming wise to this and is now making an active attempt to push Kani back using his body mass every single time he tries to reach for it. Finally, Kani gears himself up, he pulls back and reaches out for it. His fingers touch and...he's got it! A thunderous applause explodes from the bodies of the fans. Riley is warned off by Sanu’s count, standing and moving back. Kani uses the ropes as leverage to pull himself back up. Giving Kani a few seconds to actually get his head together, Riley finally runs at Kani from the corner. Now, and Kani just leaps forward bring his leg up, bringing a huge Bicycle Kick that knocks Riley right to the ground with a huge thud. Ushering Riley’s body back up to his feet, Kani hooks Riley’s arm over his shoulder and holds his head under his arm facing downwards. Using his other arm, he grabs the front of Riley’s pants and giving himself a count of three to prepare himself, he takes in a deep breath and lifts Riley up, The Floridan Native’s legs up in the air...but then he stops, much to the crowd's approval, leaving Riley up high in the air.
But Kani doesn't. No, he stands there with Riley held up in the air for just a little bit longer, staying completely still like a statue, and the longer he stays there the louder the cheers are getting. Now, he decides to squat down briefly and then return to his previous position. Then he squats again. And then a third and final time before, finally...he falls onto his back letting Riley go tumbling down with him, nowhere to go as the crowd go wild. Kanimanic rises to one knee slowly, taking two deep breathes before rising back to his feet and clasping his hands around the head of also slowly rising Riley Williamson. Kanimanic backs Riley up to the ring ropes once he reaches his feet and takes another deep breath before looking to move into action again, Williamson taking advantage of the moment however as he drives a powerful knee up into Kanimanic’s midsection once again. Kani doubles over from the blow, Riley using this opportunity to shove Kani back into the near corner. Stepping up to The Former XWA Champion. The longest Reigning Hardcore Champion follows up with two more powerful knees to the midsection before taking hold of Kani’s left arm and dragging him out of the corner. Thrusting him across the ring with all of his might, Kani crashes into the far turnbuckle with such considerable force that he bounces out and falls flat to the canvas. Clutching his back and breathing heavily, Kani tries to shake off the effects of colliding with the turnbuckle as Riley moves in on the offensive. Williamson drives a powerful boot down upon the back of Kani’s head, continuing further with a boot each time Kani attempts to rise. The Dragon Tamer remains down following the third however, which forces Riley to bring Kani back to his feet before continuing his offensive. Shoving Kani back into the ring ropes, The Former XWA Hardcore Champion sends Kani across the ring with an Irish whip before stepping forward as Kani hits the opposing set of ropes and driving him to the canvas with a powerful clothesline. Riley then drops down to where Kani lies, slides behind Kani as he rises to a seated position and locks in a rear chinlock on The Dragon Tamer. Kani immediately attempts to wriggle free, turning himself against Riley and rising to one knee before The Former New Yorker can lock in the hold further. Forcing himself against the chinlock, Kani struggles slowly to his feet as Williamson keeps the hold in as tight as he can. A slow cheer for Kani builds, The Dragon Tamer building off the energy as he fights against the effects of Riley’s hold. Attempting to fight out, Kani drives a stiff right hand into The Floridan Natives gut. A second and a third prove to weaken the hold and a fourth manages to break it. Shaking his head to quickly clean things out, The Former XWA Tag Team Champion runs to the near ropes and charges back at his opponent. Riley however, is well ready for Kani’s offensive attempt, Riley Williamson stepping up and catching Kani face to face and sending him up, over, and down to the canvas with a beautiful belly to belly suplex.
Ted Cedar:
What a Belly to Belly Suplex! Riley sought that one coming and was well aware of Kani’s attempt comeback.
Joey Miles:
Let’s see if Riley can now keep the match in his favor.
Riley rises to his feet quickly before dropping down with that same haste with a knee across the forehead. Kanimanic snaps upright and rolls over onto his hands and knees, The Former XWA Champion rubbing his right hand on his forehead as Riley not so kindly drives a kick into Kani’s left bicep. Kani clutches at his left arm as a scowl crosses his face suddenly, The Dragon Tamer forcing his way back to his feet and catching Riley off guard with a quick right hand to the midsection as he attempts to move in. Shaking his arm to alleviate the pain, Kani steps in and drives a powerful chop across chest of The Former New Yorker before catching him with a kick in the left side of his ribcage. Two powerful right hands into Riley’s jaw later and Riley finds himself backed into the near corner, Kani continuing his offensive as he sends Williamson across the ring with an Irish whip. Kani comes charging after him but Riley jumps out of the corner at the last second, Kani instead crashing into the corner as he attempts a back elbow and falling to the canvas from the impact. Riley remains lumped up against the corner, breathing heavily as he knows that he almost lost it there and now walks over to Kani and drops down again. Pulling Kanimanic up yet again into a seated position and goes right back to the trusty rear chinlock. Kani struggles to break Riley’s grip with just his hands at first, clawing at the rear chinlock as he fights to keep himself in this match. The slow chant for The Dragon Tamer begins again, The Crowd also begins to chant for Riley as well. as a “Riley” chant starts to blend in. The energy from the crowd truly seems to be spurring Kani forward as he forces his way to his feet despite his exhaustion. Struggle as he might, Riley can't seem to keep Kanimanic down as the chant continues, The Dragon Tamer getting to his feet before surprising Williamson out of nowhere with back suplex that shatters Riley’s control over him. Both men are slow to rise now as they pull away from each other, each competitor picking the opposing corner from one another. Feeling the adrenaline still rushing slightly through his veins, The 2010 King of Xtreme Winner reaches his feet first as he dashes across the ring and connects with a solid running European uppercut. Stepping, more like staggering, back out of the corner, Riley follows suit and is mowed down by a powerful two step clothesline from Kanimanic. Despite breathing heavily, Kani looks at Riley who is down. But not out. Kanimanic continues to suck in deep breaths. Not even going for the Pin which is a surprise to many as he has the chance for winning the match right here but doesn’t take it. He holds his ribs which do hurt him abit and The time it takes for him to recover costs him heavily, with Riley now slowly rising to his hands and knees by the time Kani reaches his feet, Kani moving quickly as he looks to continue his offensive by climbing to the apron. Time is not in his favor however, for as he begins to ascend the ring ropes to the top turnbuckle Riley Williamson meets him at the pass.
A double axe-handle to the back of the neck drives Kani’s skull into the top turnbuckle and The Former XWA Tag Team Champion follows suit by slamming it back down into that same turnbuckle again with a jumping start. Kanimanic drops to one knee on the apron as Riley moves in for his next move, pulling Kani up and hooking Kanimanic’s arm over the back of his neck. Aiming to take Kani for a massive ride of a vertical suplex, Riley attempts to lift Kanimanic but finds himself caught. The Dragon Tamer clutches the bottom rope with his left foot each time Riley attempts to lift him, Kanimanic finally breaking free of Riley’s hold on his third attempt. Rearing back Kani drives his shoulder straight into The Floridan Native’s midsection, the impact scooping Riley up off his feet momentarily. In a way that only Kanimanic can, The Former Empire leader leaps suddenly to the top rope and dives at Williamson. Kani striking The Former Knockout King leader across the jaw with a massive flying superman punch that, once Riley hits the canvas and Kani lands next to him, leaves both men lying on the canvas in a daze. Both men lay on the canvas for several long seconds without moving, each man sucking in air like their lives depended upon it, in Kani’s case, this may have been factually true. With his brains thoroughly rattled, Riley is down for the count much longer than his opponent, Kani slowly rising to his feet with a suddenly determined look upon his face. He breathes deeply as he begins to stalk Williamson as he rises, Kani zoning in on his opponent and stepping up to Riley at just the right moment. Stepping in underneath Riley’s right arm, Kani guides Riley’s left arm down between his legs until Riley suddenly spins away from him and leaps his left leg up into the air crashing it onto the chin of Kanimanic as he is met out of nowhere with a Superkick! Kani drops to the mat. As well does Riley.
Ted Cedar:
Superkick from out of no where! This could be Riley’s chance. What a upset this would be.
Joey Miles:
If he is smart, he would capitalize right now. Kani is knocked out…
Rising slowly to his feet, Riley takes Kani’s head in his hands and brings The Dragon Tamer back to his feet with him. he starts to send punches to the head of Kani which backs Kani up into the ropes, Riley Irish whips Kani to the opposite ropes as Kani rebounds he is met by a hard running lariat by Riley, Kani falls hard to the mat again then rolls to his stomach reaching for the back of his head, Riley walks back over towards Kani to pick him up, as he reaches Kani he begins to pick him up, as he gets him up, Riley brings his knee right up into the gut of Kani, Kani doubles over from the blow, Riley then fires off a vicious uppercut right into the jaw of Kanimanic sending him staggering backwards. Riley quickly charges forwards, dropping down low and driving his boots right into the knee of Kani with another hard hitting dropkick that hits perfectly on the centre of the kneecap to take The Dragon Tamer down onto his knees once again. This time Riley lines himself up with Kani who is just on his knees and then Riley runs back towards the ropes, rebounding off of them and lifts his knee up sending his knee crashing into the face of Kani causing him to drop down onto the mat. Riley walks over to the down body of Kani and pulls him back up to his feet not allowing any break of some sort. Riley grabs Kani by the arm and delivering a big Irish whip across the ring into the opposing corner. Kani hits the corner back first and Riley takes a few steps forwards, He swivels on the spot and runs into the empty corner, leaping up and pushing off of the middle turnbuckle for that extra bit of added momentum before charging right at Kani, turning mid-charge and nailing Kani in the jaw with a vicious European uppercut. Kani staggers forwards but Riley doesn’t even allow Kani to drop onto the mat as Riley quickly grabs Kani again by the arm and throws him to the opposite corner. Riley charges forward. Kani hits the corner back first and Riley meets him there nailing him yet again with another vicious European uppercut. Kani staggers forward and falls onto the mat. Riley walks over and gets onto Kani’s back, sliding one arm under Kani’s chin and grabbing it with the other, he then rolls over onto his back wrapping his legs around The Dragon Tamer and locking in some sort of Submission move. Ryn Sanu slides into position, asking Kani if he wants to give it up but doesn’t get any type of response as Riley pulls back onto the arm more, making the more much more tighter then it ever was. Kani’s eyes remain alert though, as he moves his arms around trying to look for the ropes. Ryn asks Kani again and gets a “NO!” from The Former XWA Champion. Kani moves his body just abit trying to turn the move around but doesn’t get successful in the process. The hold gets more tighter as Riley pulls back even more his head, snapped back and touching the mat and Kani can be seen now just fading away his eyes, now beginning to close up slowly and his arms just drop onto the mat. Ryn grabs one of the arms up before letting it go. “ONE..” He picks up the arm again before dropping it. “TWO…” Ryn picks the arm up again and drops it but this one doesn’t hit the mat. No, instead it remains straight out. The Crowd cheers on as Kani now moves his body and rolls through, with his hands now pressed down onto the mat he gets on one knee and then shortly after gets on the other. Now getting to a full verticle base. Riley remains with the hold still on Kani. Just hanging on but doesn’t so for long, Kani charges backwards and hits up against the corner of the ring. Riley gets the brunt of it as his back hits the turnbuckle but still remains holding on. Kani slowly staggers towards the center of the ring before turning his back and charges back towards the opposite corner. Riley lets go and lays up against the corner of the ring as Kani drops to his knees. Breathing heavily for a couple of seconds. As Kani begins to stir he gets to one knee as Riley is still on the corner but is starting to stir a bit, Kani gets to both feet then makes his way over to Riley who is still laying against the corner, Kani sends a hard punch to the jaw of Riley then proceeds to climb up onto the ropes as he is above Riley then sends punches to the head of Riley as the crowd counts out.
“1.2..3...4….5…..”
Before Kani can get to seven, Riley pushes Kani off which causes Kani to stumble back then fall down as he flips backward on the mat then to his feet, as he gets back to his feet The Floridan Native explodes from the canvas and tackles Kanimanic to the mat in impressive fashion before getting the mount and beginning to unload with some vicious strikes of his own. Kani gets his arms up to protect the face but as Riley unloads with punches, forearms and the odd elbow strike you know that the damage is getting done. Riley continues to launch strike after strike at the covered face of The Dragon Tamer and Kani knows that he’s in trouble, which is why he seeks to make a swift escape from the grasp of The Floridan Native. Kani manages to lift his knee up, pushing Riley’s body up just enough to slip out beneath him and avoid being used as a punching bag for at least a few seconds. Before Riley can grab him Kani has high tailed it to the ropes, rolling out underneath the bottom rope to the outside, The Former Rising Star Division Champion jumps up onto his feet and charges forwards before dropping down low, baseball sliding underneath the bottom ropes and driving both of his boots into the back of Kanimanic, sending him flying across the floor towards the security barricade. Ryn Sanu, begins his ten count, threatening both men with a double count out. ONE! Riley pays little attention to the count, he drops down onto his knees in a mount of Kanimanic once again before grabbing him by the back of the head and unloading with a few more hard right hands. TWO! Riley continues to throw punch after punch at the head of Kanimanic still ignoring the count of the official. THREE! Satisfied that the damage is done Riley unmounts Kani, swivelling round and hooking both of his hands around the head of the The 2010 King of Xtreme Winner, Riley dragging him up onto his feet on the outside. FOUR! Once up Riley throws out a strong right hand but Kani manages to lift his arm up to block it from hitting, saving himself from elevating his headache to full on mind blowing migraine. With Riley slightly surprised Kani capitalises, throwing out a right hand of his own that connects deftly into the jaw. FIVE! Riley staggers backwards and Kani charges after him, ducking down and driving his shoulder into the ribs of Riley with enough force that it sends The Former Rising Star Division Champion back first into the edge of the ring apron. Riley drops down onto his knees, clutching his back in pain while Kani realizes the count and rolls into and then promptly back out of the ring. COUNT RESTARTED! With a fresh ten count in effect The Former XWA Champion intends to use it to his advantage, driving his boot straight down into the back of the kneeling challenger that does it’s job perfectly, stunning The Floridan Native and further damaging the back.
ONE! With Riley stunned Kani quickly hooks his hands around his head and slowly drags Kani up onto his feet before pulling him into a front chancery, positioning it so that Riley is side on with the ring apron. TWO! With Riley in his grips Kani ducks down, hooking the arm and getting a handful of tights for leverage. THREE! Then he goes for it, lifting Riley up and overhead before Williamson has any chance to fight back. Kani doesn’t hold him up there for long, it’s a quick and swift flip before he brings Riley down back first onto the edge of the ring apron. FOUR! Riley immediately arches his back on impact with the ring apron, the pain is excruciating, his spine feeling like it has been broken apart into tiny little pieces. Kani pushes Riley under the bottom rope and back into the ring, climbing up and rolling in immediately after him, Kani pouncing on top of Riley and hooking for the leg for another early pinfall attempt.
Ted Cedar:
Riley nor Kani have made a Pinfall since the match had started. I wonder if we are going to see one here soon…
Joey Miles:
It’s called Mutual Respect Ted. Both of these Men know that this wasn’t going to be easy and I think we are going to see a Pinfall right here.
1.2..KICKOUT.
Riley manages to shoot his shoulder up at the count of two, refusing to go down when there’s still got plenty of fight left in him. Kani rolls off, slowly pushing himself up onto his feet. For a second it looks like he’s about to walk away from Riley when he suddenly turns, stretches out his elbow and falls almost in slow-motion right down upon the chest of The Former XWA Tag Team Champion with a big elbow drop. Riley winces from the pain of the elbow drop but Kani isn’t finished, the speed of The Dragon Tamer allowing him to bounce right back on up, outstretch his elbow for a second time and for a second time drop the elbow across the chest of Riley Williamson, drawing another gasp from Riley as all of the air escapes from his lung. A third time Kani quickly pops right back up again, and for a third time he outstretches his elbow and just drops down once again, nailing Riley with a big elbow drop to the chest. Kani then switches over and hooks the leg, looking for a Pinfall. But it is only good just for one. Riley remains on the canvas holding his chest as he attempts to regain the breath lost through the triple elbow drop sequence. Kani sits up, simply moving onto his knees and hooking his hands around the head of the Riley, slowly lifting Riley up onto his feet. Kani Irish Whips Riley, The Former XWA Champion sending Riley slamming into the turnbuckle back first. Williamson almost staggers out of the corner but Kani doesn’t give him the opportunity, charging after Riley and then lifting his knee right up into his gut, crushing him in the corner in the process. Riley clutches his ribs in the corner and can offer little fight when Kani pushes him upright against the turnbuckle, The Dragon Tamer grabbing hold of the top rope with both hands for leverage and then driving his boot straight into the abdomen of Riley, The Former New York Native wincing in pain as the air escapes from his lungs. Kanimanic connects with another, and another, and another, each boot driving straight into the mid-section of Riley and each one doing it’s painful job. As the boots continue to fly Riley begins to slump against the turnbuckle and when Kani finishes off The Former Hardcore Champion drops down into a sitting position, propped up against the turnbuckle. Kanimanic keeps hold of the top rope and then places his boot flat against the throat of Riley Williamson and begins to push, trying to crush the windpipe. Riley struggles in the corner, tries to push against the boot with both hands but has little success, Kani continuing to push against the throat of The longest reigning Hardcore Champion draining the life out of him in the corner. Mercifully Ryn Sanu steps in; first threatening Kani with disqualification and then beginning his five count to break the illegal choke. Sanu reaches the count of four before Kani releases the choke, and backs away peacefully. Kani remains in the centre of the ring, being spoken down to by Ryn Sanu. Kani listens to the XWA Official, nodding his head agreeing to whatever Sanu is saying and then he sees Riley begin to stir across the ring he charges forwards, looking to drive his knee straight into the skull of Riley and crush it against the bottom turnbuckle. The crowd are in uproar and it almost looks too late for Riley to save himself when he does! Kani is about to connect with the knee when The longest reigning Hardcore Champion somehow scrambles across the canvas, manoeuvring himself around the legs of the momentum driven Kani, hooking his arm up between the legs and pulling backwards, dragging Kanimanic back first to the canvas with what first appears to be a simple roll up. It’s not until Riley wraps his arm around the leg of Kanimanic and jumps up onto his feet do the fans realize what he is doing, Riley clutching the leg beneath his arm and then using all of his strength to turn Kanimanic onto his chest, bending his back in the process, and stepping over him, locking in a single leg Boston Crab!
Ted Cedar:
Riley out of nowhere, with a Single Legged Boston Crab! How much can Kani take?!
Joey Miles:
Riley has got the move locked in and there is now where Kani can go. He may just have the match done right here.
The entire crowd go crazy as Riley Williamson pulls back on the hooked leg, stretching out the muscles in the leg and the knee. Kani is shocked but he’s also in agony as Riley leans back, almost like he’s sitting on air, further pulling back on the leg and causing a silent cry of pain from The Dragon Tamer who refuses to give Riley the satisfaction of actually hearing him scream. Ryn Sanu ducks in almost immediately, ready to call for the bell in the case of a tap out but Kani reaches out for the ropes, trying to make his way across to them. Slowly Kani digs his fingers into the canvas and begins to pull towards the nearest set of ropes but it certainly isn’t going to be an easy task. moving that little bit closer towards the ring ropes and the freedom that he so desperately desires. Slowly Kani inches closer and closer towards the ropes but even as he does so Riley continues to lean back on the leg, refusing to let go even as Kani drags him across the ring, Riley showing off some impressive balance to stay on his feet in the process. And then there’s just an inch separating Kani’s hand from the ropes, his finger able to brush against the very thing that will save him for the time being. And then… he makes it! Kanimanic manages to drag himself that little bit further and grab hold of the bottom rope. With Kani’s hands wrapped firmly around the bottom rope Ryn Sanu has no choice but to step in immediately, forcing Riley off of Kani, Riley dropping down onto his knees as fatigue from his own worn down body making itself clear. Riley kneels there, hands on the canvas, breathing heavily. Kani meanwhile lies by the ropes clutching his right leg, the single leg Boston crab may have been released but the pain is still there, as the crowd burst into a chant of “Let’s go Riley” and some even cheering on for Kani, Riley feeding off of their energy and pushing through the pain, He slowly powers himself up onto his feet, staggering for a moment as he regains his senses, and then turns his attention back to the downed Kanimanic. Kani eyes closed due to the pain coursing through his leg, doesn’t see Riley coming but he certainly feels it when Riley stamps down upon the right leg, driving his boot straight down Riley immediately grabs hold of the leg, hooking it beneath his arm and then using his strength, dragging the 220lbs of Kanimanic across to the centre of the ring. Kani attempts to fire off with a kick with his left foot but Riley quickly dodges it and then drives his boot into the back of Kani’s right knee, drawing another gasp of pain. Riley grabs the right foot of Kani and then stretches the leg out before driving his boot straight into the side of the knee, jerking Kani’s leg sideways in an awkward position. Riley follows up by wrapping his arm around the leg of Kani and then dropping back, snapping the leg out straight with enough speed that it sends a sharp pain shooting up through the limb, drawing another shout of pain from The Dragon Tamer as Riley continues to successfully work over the leg. Before Kani can even clutch his leg Riley has swivelled around him, hooking his hands around the head of Kani and slowly dragging him up onto his feet, Kani barely able to put any pressure on his right leg as he does so. Riley, drags Kanimanic over towards the corner, pushing him back first against the turnbuckle and delivering a swift kick to the gut to keep him there.
Ted Cedar:
So far, it has been all about Riley and working on that right leg of Kanimanic.
Joey Miles:
Working on a body part is the most smartest thing to do in a match. Not only does it wear and tear down your opponent but, keeps them down for the time being and increases your chances of winning the match.
With Kani propped up against the turnbuckle Riley grabs hold of The Dragon Tamer’s right leg and drapes it over the middle rope, The Floridan Native grabbing hold of the top rope, lining himself up and then driving his boot into the top half of the Kanimanic’s leg, drawing another gasp of pain from The Dragon Tamer as Riley continues to work over the leg. Riley puts a second boot in and then a third before placing his boot down upon the knee right where it drapes over the ring ropes. Holding onto the top rope for balance Riley proceeds to step up, one foot on Kani’s knee and the other on the ring rope, Riley putting all 210Ibs of his weight down onto Kanimanic’s knee Ryn Sanu is quick to step in, using the ropes as a weapon is of course against the rules, and begins his five count, threatening Riley with a disqualification if he doesn’t step down and release Kani from this painful situation. The count can’t go quick enough for Kani as Riley waits until Sanu reaches four before stepping down and backing away, allowing Kani to pull his leg away from the rope and collapse to the canvas, gripping the leg, specifically the knee, in pain. It seems serious, Ryn refusing to let Riley past him as he kneels beside Kani trying to find out what is wrong with Kani. Riley watches as Ryn Sanu checks over Kani, he then looks over to the crowd and a mixed reaction is given. Some Cheer on for what Riley just did while other’s, boo at the hellacious attack. Riley walks up to the Ref and The Ref turns and backs Riley up. Telling him to back off and then walks back to Kani whom is now reaching up and takes hold of the ropes with both hands, slowly using them to drag himself up onto his feet. When he is able to put weight down upon it he limps across the ring, positioning himself directly in line with Riley and then charges forwards, Riley sees this coming and moves back towards the ropes pulling them down which causes Kanimanic to fall over the top rope and to the padded floor outside the ring with a loud thump that makes a few of the front row cringe as they hear the collision. As Kani writhes in pain on the outside Riley slowly pulls his way up onto his feet. Riley turns back and looks at Kani who is now pulling himself up via, assistance from the Barricade and charges towards the opposite ropes. Kani, not having a clue to what is happening inside the ring pulls himself up and looks at the Crowd before slowly turning around. Riley now ducks between the top and middle rope causing Riley’s shoulder to crash onto Kani’s chin as both men fall down. Kani, getting the brunt of it as his back hits the Barricade. Riley hits a Suicide Dive. ONE! Riley rolls onto his front and pushes himself onto his hands and knees, his head down, struggling to fight through the pain as it threatens to overwhelm him. TWO! The Floridan Native slowly pushing himself up onto his feet unsteadily, his back causing him grief and as he turns… THREE! Riley slowly climbs up the ring apron. Grabbing ahold of the top rope as he turns and waits for Kani. FOUR! Kani rolls onto his stomach and shakes his head. FIVE! Kani pushes himself up slowly onto his feet, limping as reaches them. and turns, Riley leaps onto the middle rope, springboarding back as he does a backflip in mid air. Looking to hit a Moonsault, but at the last possible second Kani moves causing The longest reigning Hardcore Champion to crash belly first onto the Padded Floor. COUNT RESTARTED! With a fresh ten count to play with Kanimanic limps over to Riley who appears to be slowly returning to the land of the living, Kanimanic bending and hooking his hands around the head of the Riley. ONE! Slowly Kani manages to haul Riley up onto his feet as The Former XWA Tag Team Champion takes hold of Riley by the arm and proceeds to line him up with the steel ring steps at close range. TWO! With Riley in his grips Kanimanic delivers a big Irish whip that’s more of a throw than a whip, sending Riley flipping over and slamming back first into the steel ring steps back first, Williamson arching his back as pain shoots up his already damaged spine. THREE! Kani drives his boot into the ribs of the downed and hurt Riley just for good measure. FOUR! Kani ignores the pain shooting through his leg and instead he bends down and hooks his hands around the head of Riley, dragging The Floridan Native back up onto his feet with malicious intent. FIVE! Riley however manages to send his fist right into the mid-section of Kanimanic. Kani wincing and losing his grip more out of surprise than out of pain. SIX! Riley slams his elbow straight into the side of Kani’s head with enough force that The Dragon Tamer is nearly knocked out there and then. SEVEN! Kani is sent flying backwards by the elbow strike and lands on his knees rather than his ass is the ring apron. Riley finally has a chance to catch his breath, his back is hurting but he knows that Kani’s knee is in a far worse state and he needs to capitalise on that while he can. EIGHT! Riley grabs Kani and drags him up onto the ring apron, forcing Kanimanic into the ring under the bottom ropes while Riley himself climbs up onto the ring apron and steps into the ring just to break the count.
Ted Cedar:
Both of these men are really taking it to each other.
Joey Miles:
The more this match goes, the more impact this match is going to take on both men.
Riley steps out of the ring again and walks along the ring apron to the turnbuckle closest to Kani who is trying to gather his bearings after having them knocked straight out of his head. As Riley steps up onto the turnbuckle and begins to climb Kani attempts to push himself up onto his feet even though he’s got no idea what is awaiting him when he gets there. Kani makes it up onto his knees, almost collapsing to his side, while on the outside Riley makes it up to the top turnbuckle, The Floridan Native crouching there to keep his balance while he waits for The Dragon Tamer to rise. And rise he does slowly, onto one knee, his good knee of course, and then slowly forces himself up onto his feet. He staggers around the ring groggily, trying to gain his balance, and then he turns. Suddenly Riley stands up on the top turnbuckle before leaping off. Riley sails through the air, turning his body as he flies, and then comes crashing down on top of Kanimanic with a huge diving cross body that sends The Former XWA Champion crashing back first to the mat and Riley landing on top of him, Williamson immediately taking advantage of their landing position by hooking the leg and going for the cover!
1.2..2 ¾ KICKOUT!
Ryn Sanu hand rises up for the third time so does Kanimanic’s shoulder, The Dragon Tamer managing to kick out. Riley kneels above Kani looking frustrated that the diving cross body didn’t work. Hooking his hands around the head of Kani and slowly dragging the groggy Kani up onto his feet. Riley drags Kanimanic across the ring towards the corner, swivelling him around and pushing him back first against the turnbuckle. Riley suddenly fires off with a swift and hard looking forearm smash right to the jaw of The 2010 King of Xtreme Winner this gives Riley the perfect amount of time to duck down, hooking his arms around the legs of Kani and using the position to lift Kanimanic up into a sitting position on the top turnbuckle as the crowd begin to realize that Riley has something very big and very impactful planned. With Kanimanic propped up on the top turnbuckle Riley begins his assent, using Kani’s body for balance as he climbs up the turnbuckle in front of him. Once he reaches the second turnbuckle he pulls The Dragon Tamer down into a front chancery and uses this position to slowly push Kani up, forcing Kani onto his feet on the top rope while at the same time Riley steps up there himself. Both men are now standing on the top turnbuckle as Riley goes to hook the arm Kani sends his fist straight up into the gut of Riley and then follows it up with a second, the two blows being enough to break Riley’s grip and unbalance him. Kanimanic shoves Riley, The Floridan Native falling backwards and ending up crotched on the top rope! Kani nearly falls but manages to crouch down and grab hold of the top ropes for balance while Riley basically sits on the ropes. With Riley crotched on the ropes Kanimanic looks to capitalise, slowly pushing himself up onto his feet on the top turnbuckle. Kani takes a step out onto the rope, making sure that he gets his balance exactly right and then as quick as his dodgy knee will carry him he takes the three steps across the ropes towards Riley and then leaps up, wrapping his legs around the head of The Floridan Native and flipping them both out towards the ring, delivering a picture perfect hurricanrana literally from the top rope into the ring! Riley is sent crashing to the canvas and ends up on his back while Kani lands on his knees, spots Riley’s position and scrambles across the ring, hooking the leg for a pinfall attempt!
1.2..KICKOUT!
Kani shakes his head but decides not to dwell on it. Kani hooks his hands around the head of Riley and turns him onto his front, slowly dragging him up onto his feet where Kani delivers a vicious forearm smash to the side of the head that knocks the already loopy Riley down to his hands and knees. Kani then takes a single step forward and brings his left leg up before dropping it straight down across the back of Riley’s head with a brutal leg drop that just jerks Riley’s head straight down into the canvas. With Riley down Kani proceeds to take Riley’s legs and forcibly bends them at the knees before crossing them and places his good left leg into the triangular gap between the crossed legs. From there Kani turns around, facing away from Riley and places his good left leg into the triangular gap between the crossed legs. As Kani locks in The Sharpshooter!
Ted Cedar:
Kani now has The Sharpshooter in!
Joey Miles:
It’s only a matter of time before Riley taps. His back is being worked on right now and this has been his Con throughout this match. His weakness. I don’t see Riley lasting any longer. Just Tap Riley!
Kani getting more of a grip on the legs and pulling up that little bit more to add additional pressure to the spine. It appears to be working as Riley immediately starts shouting out in pain and reaching out for the ring ropes that are far too far away for him to reach, Kani having done a good job and moving things to the centre of the ring. Kani pulls up and back on the legs, Kanimanic trying to put as much pressure on Riley’s back. Ryn Sanu ducks in quickly, the official asking Riley if he wants to quit. Just like when Kani was locked in the single leg Boston crab earlier on Riley gives a vehement no. The Former XWA Champion adding more and more pressure onto the spine with every second. Riley pushes against the apron, trying to lift his body off of the canvas, to maybe roll onto his side or turn the tides of the hold but while Riley is strong he isn’t that strong. He’s got the entire 220 pound frame of The Dragon Tamer pushed down on his back and Kani trying to tear apart the muscles in his legs and fragment his spine. Ryn Sanu is still on his knees beside Riley, he can see the pain that the fan favourite is in and knows that if something doesn’t happen soon he’ll either be calling a submission or a pass out victory. Riley looks out towards the nearest set of ropes, while Kani continues to pull back on the neck, bending the spine as far as he can plausibly manage it, Riley begins the arduous process of trying to crawl across the ring. He gets a handful of the canvas beneath him and literally begins to drag not only himself but also the 220 pound frame of Kanimanic that is laid out on top of him. Kani continues to pull back on the legs and The fans are cheering loudly, stunned at the strength and fortitude on display but glad to see it nonetheless as Riley, slowly drags himself and Kani across the ring towards the ring ropes. Seconds tick by and Kanimanic suddenly releases his grip, breaking The Sharpshooter just a mere second before Riley can reach the ropes. He grabs hold of the legs of Riley and drag him back to the centre of the ring. It all happens so quickly that Riley doesn’t have a chance to stop him as Kani drags him to the centre of the ring and proceeds to cross his legs again, looking to lock The Sharpshooter right back on again. Except this time he isn’t quick enough, but Riley most definitely is, The longest Reigning Rising Star Division Champion twisting his body the moment Kani puts his foot in the triangular bent legs, using his strength and position to drag Kanimanic down by the injured right leg.
Kani hits the canvas chest first and before he knows it he’s the one screaming out in pain as Riley entwined his leg around the injured right knee and leg of The Dragon Tamer, hooking it and then grabbing it by the ankle and pulling back, locking in a unique version of a leg slicer! Riley pulls back on the leg, With the torque on the pull Riley is successfully stretching out the entire leg, stretching ligaments and muscles and fully intending to tear them apart. Kani is letting out a scream of pain, he can’t hold it in anymore, his leg is feeling absolutely torn apart and it doesn’t matter how far he reaches out there’s no way he’s reaching the ropes. Ryn Sanu question of whether he gives up even when Riley pulls further back on the boot, stretching out and bending the leg as far as possible. Kani grabs a fistful of the canvas and tries to use it to drag himself across the ring. Kani decides to take a last gasp, desperate short cut. He reaches out with the arm closest to Riley, grabbing him by the head and from there he gouges his finger right into the eye of Williamson drawing a sickening gasp from the fans and a loud scream of pain from Riley who almost immediately has to release the leg clincher and roll away, covering his eye up in pain. As Ryn Sanu immediately darts across to Riley to check that he actually still has an eye in his socket Kanimanic clutches at his knee in agony. Ryn tries to check up on Riley but Riley squirms up to his feet. Moving around in a crazed like manner, pacing back and forth, shaking his head and covering the eye to which Kani poked and now leans against the ropes. Looking down while as he tries to get the vision of his right eye back. He turns around and looks at Kani, still down on the floor clutching his knee, and a look of pure rage comes across him. He signals for Kani to get to his feet, signalling to his knee in the process so the fans know exactly what is coming next. A few moments pass before Kani rolls onto his front and then rises up onto his hands and knees, trying not to put any pressure at all on the injured right leg. Slowly he rises up onto his knees and Riley charging forwards, Kani suddenly drops backwards, dodging the charging blow and hooking his hand up between the legs of the momentum driven Riley, dragging him back first to the canvas and pinning his shoulders to the canvas with a classic roll up!
1.2..KICKOUT!
Riley manages to power out just before Ryn Sanu hand starts to lower for the third time. Kani and Riley both end up lying on the canvas, but then both men start to rise up. Slowly they rise up, Kani with his limp and Riley with his twisted spine, both men struggling but managing to make it up at pretty much the same moment. They turn to face each other and the moment they do Riley fires off with a wicked right hand that connects flush with the jaw of Kanimanic. Kani, not one to be outdone, fires back with a right hand of his own that staggers Riley but not enough to send him to the canvas. Riley immediately fires back and then Kani, the two men connecting with right hand after right hand after right hand until Riley seems to get the advantage, connecting with multiple right hands one after the other far too quickly for Kani to hit back with one of his own. Riley fires off with right hands, each one sending Kani limping backwards on impact until The Dragon Tamer feels the ring ropes press against his back. Once there Riley grabs hold of Kani’s arm and goes to deliver an Irish whip, however Kani pulls off a last gasp counter, swivelling their positions and sending Riley barrelling across the ring carried by his own momentum. Riley hits the ropes and rebounds and on the return Kani suddenly explodes forwards, ducking down and driving his shoulder into the ribs of Riley, connecting with a vicious and explosive spear! The crowd go crazy as Kani sends Riley back first to the canvas before ending up lying right next to him, The Dragon Tamer breathing heavily as he tries to find the strength to… he does! Kani manages to roll over and drape an arm across the chest of The Former XWA Tag Team Champion going for a pinfall.
1.2.. ¾ .. KICKOUT!
Ted Cedar:
That was close!
Joey Miles:
Each Pinfall is getting closer to Three, one of them is not going to last very long.
The crowd pop loudly as Riley manages to shoot a shoulder up and kick out of the pinfall. Kani rolls onto his back, his hands covering his face in shock and frustration, can’t believe that after everything that they have put each other through that Riley still has more left in the tank. He crawls across to the nearest set of ropes, cringing every time he has to put weight on the injured knee, and then uses them to slowly drag himself up onto his feet while Riley remains down on the canvas having kicked out of the pinfall out of instinct, not out of his ability to keep on fighting. Kani grabs hold of Riley beneath his shoulders and then drags him across the ring towards the corner, laying him out perfectly in line with the turnbuckle. Once there he steps out onto the ring apron, As he begins to climb he keeps glancing down at Riley who doesn’t move an inch, The Former New York Native is out. Kani continues climbing until he reaches the top, Kani pulling himself up into a crouching position on the top turnbuckle. He takes another swift glance down at Riley and then carefully turns around on the turnbuckle, his back now to the ring. Carefully he stands up, struggling to balance on the turnbuckle. The crowd are in full on chant mode right now, firmly behind Kanimanic. Kani takes a deep breath and then leaps off backwards, turning in mid-air as he delivers a picture perfect moonsault and as he looks down at the canvas below he sees it – Riley Williamson rolling towards the turnbuckle right underneath him. Kani crashing and burning to the canvas in an almost broken heap. The crowd can’t believe it, they’re “OH!” loudly as Riley Williamson grabs hold of the ropes and pulls himself up onto his knees, leant against the ropes to keep himself from falling right back down to the canvas. He glances across to Kani who has basically knocked himself out with the missed moonsault and that gives him the strength to slowly pull himself back up onto his feet. With Riley on his feet he quickly limps over to Kani slowly bending and hooking his hands around the head of The Dragon Tamer. Pulling him up to his feet and then, lifting him up and putting him onto his shoulders, Riley turns his body, moving it back while doing a 150 Degree Spin as Kani’s body goes flying off of Riley’s shoulder and crashes onto the mat. Both Men fall down onto the Mat as Riley hits his Finisher, The Torrential Drop! (F5)
Ted Cedar:
Riley has it! Riley has just hitted The Torrential Drop and now Kani is down. Possibly out, Riley could end the match right here.
Joey Miles:
I don’t think Kani is going to get up after that, it’s just not possible.
Riley rolls over onto his belly and slowly crawls to the laid out body of Kanimanic and uses all of his strength to crawl towards him. Now close enough, he drapes his arm over the stomach of Kani as Ryn Sanu slides and begins to count.
1.2..THRE...NO!
Riley looks up, shocked. He glares at Ryn Sanu unable to believe the fact Kani kicked out. He even has to clarify with him that's what happened, which Ryn confirms rather helpfully. Riley raises both eyebrows, looking rather disappointed ...but then he looks over at the turnbuckle. Slowly he gravitates towards it, moving out onto the apron and climbing slowly up the turnbuckles to the very top of the corner. Riley now makes it to the top and looks down at Kani who has yet to move, raises both his hands up into the air, pointing upwards before jumping off. His Elbow right infront of him and looks to hit The Blading Drop! (Elbow Drop) But at the last possible second, Kani moves out of the way causing Riley’s elbow to crash onto the Mat. Riley rolls back and forth, holding his elbow in complete pain and Kani now sits up and grabs the arm that Riley has hurted and places it between his legs. Then, places his hands infront of Riley’s face. Clasping them together while pulling back on the chin and neck of The Former Hardcore Champion, applying The Crossface. Riley struggles here, as Kani just happened to lock this submission on in the center of the ring. Kani has the move locked in and Riley can be heard screaming out in agony stretching his arms out and tries to reach the ropes. he then decides that he moves both arms to the canvas before starting to push himself up. Kani transitions the crossface into a chin lock as he maneuvers over and begins to press his knee into the lower back of Williamson, still pulling back but It’s not enough to keep Riley from pushing up though, as Riley pushes up before lunging forward and landing close enough to the ropes and grab them forcing the rope break. “1.2.” Kani doesn’t hold on any longer, and lets go. Kani gets back to his feet and moves back away from Riley as he waits for Riley to sit up. Riley rolls onto his back, looking up towards the roof of the arena as he breaths heavily trying to maintain his breathing. The Crowd begins to chant “This is Awesome!” Several times but this doesn’t bother or annoy Kani. A few seconds pass and Riley now slowly pulls himself up into a seating position. Kani runs back towards the ropes and then rebounds off of them, charging towards Riley with his body twisted abit as he drops down and looks for his Finisher, Shining Wizard but instead, Riley grabs ahold of Kani’s foot wrapping his arm around it causing Kani to drop onto the mat face first as pulls Kani’s ankle up with, The Ankle Lock! Riley has the Ankle Lock locked in and he is not buldging, dropping down onto dropping down to his one knee in order to stay grounded and stopping Kani from reaching the ropes. Kani is in some pain but his face refuses to betray him, not showing the pain but rather the determination to escape the hold. He lifts himself up with his hands, giving him a little more leverage and making it harder for Riley to gain any grip on the mat. Kani pulls himself along the mat and while Riley tries his hardest to pull him back he seems to have forgotten about Kani’s other leg, Kani brings his other leg up and his foot collides with Riley’s jaw. The blow isn’t enough for him to let go, but it gives Kani the opportunity to claw a few more inches to the rope. Kani’s foot once again collides with Riley’s jaw and Kani gains another few inches. Riley gets up with his arm still wrapped around Kani’s leg and drags him back to the center of the ring however, Kani quickly rolls forward, slipping out of Riley’s grasp and causing Riley move forward with him. Riley quickly gets up while Kani is also up but, is still favoring the right leg as he holds it before slowly turning around, Riley moves to his side and quickly brings his right leg up, but Kani captures it and pushes it away. Riley does a 360 spin coming back to face Kani as he sends a high knee to the gut of Kani. Kani bends down and Riley turns around placing Kanimanic’s head onto his shoulders before dropping down with him as he hits The Stun of Death! (Stunner) Riley drapes his body on top of Kani and Ryn Sanu slides down into position for the count.
1.2..3…
Ding, Ding, Ding!!! OOC: Thought I post this ahead of time. Will be away for the Week and just wanted to make sure that I posted this. Anyway, Goodluck Kani.  |
