Loser's Matches

[Guest Goodear]

Make with the yakkity comments... I needs the help since this is just about the best thing I can put out right now. I figure it was a little dry and slow... but I was going for a build. Anyway, enough about me. Let me know what you all think.

 

----------------------------------------------------------------------

 

“And what an amazing night it has been already,” smiles ‘Grand Slam’ Mark Stevens as we rejoin him at the commentary desk after the last commercial. “But there is still a whole lot of action still on tap tonight as Jay Dawg faces off against El Luchador Magnifico and TNT puts his world title shot up against his former partner and some might say former friend Frost.”

 

“And speaking of the Iceman,” interrupts Bobby Riley with his usual degree of sarcastic glee. “We are going to see just how well he can pull off some horizontal stripes in just a few seconds as he serves as the referee in a match featuring two members of his own stable, “Deathwish” Danny Williams and Ejiro Fasaki. And not only is these men’s pecking order of the Magnificent 7 going to be at stake, but Williams’ precious United States title as well.”

 

“And with that, lets go to the center of the ring and our man Funyon with the introductions.”

 

Standing in the middle of the squared circle stands the dapper ring announcer wearing his usual happy yet blank expression, “Ladies and Gentlemen, this next contest is scheduled for one fall and is for the Smarks Wrestling Federation United States Heavyweight Title. Introducing first, the special guest referee...”

 

Frost wants to kill your mamma

Frost wants to kill your mamma

Frost wants to burn your dad.

He gets real mean when you make him mad.

 

“From Reykjavik, Iceland, he is one half of The SWF Tag Team Champions and also The SWF ICTV Champion “The Velvet Hammer” FRRRRRRRROST!”

 

Stamping out from the entranceway enters the biggest, meanest referee you ever did see. With his trademark cigar stuck between his teeth and a referee’s shirt barely holding back his mammoth torso, Frost walks all the way to the ring without once glancing in either direction to the gathered members of the Las Vegas Gaming Commission. Stepping up the ringside steps, Frost enters the ring and raises an arm into the sky as the fans continue to lay with a display of hatred for the man that used that fist just this Sunday to knock El Luchador Magnifico out like a light.

 

“And now, allow me to introduce the challenger. He represents The Magnificent 7 and hails from Sarasota, Florida. Weighing in tonight at 189 pounds, this is the challenger... one half of Justice and Rule... EEEEEJIROOOO FASAKIIIIIII!”

 

Walking out onto the stage is the junior member of the world’s most dangerous stable. Adorned tonight in a long leather coat buttoned up to the throat, Ejiro wastes no time and no concentration on the assembled throng as he makes his way down to the ring. He is entirely focused on the battle, no, the war that is about to take place in a matter of minutes between himself and Danny Williams. Hopping up to the apron, Ejiro steps between the ropes and casually removes his long coat as the fans let one of the newer entries to the SWF just how much he means to them in such a short time. Standing in a corner, Ejiro stretches his body out against the ropes while maintaining a steady eye on Frost, who does nothing but continue to hold court in the middle of the ring as Funyon completes his introductions for this match.

 

“And now, the champion. He also represents the Magnificent 7. Hailing from Louisville, Kentucky and weighing in at 238 pounds. Please welcome, the SWF United States Heavyweight Champion “DEATHWISH” DANNNNNNNY WILLLLLLLIAMS!”

 

With “Jester’s Dance” roaring through the arena, Danny Williams comes charging out through the curtain with the US Title resting comfortably around his waist. Sliding underneath the bottom rope, Danny pulls loose the title and raises it high above his head to the catcalls and general dismay of the Las Vegas crowd that saw Danny choke out their favorite son Johnny Dangerous just a few days ago. Of all of the men in the ring, it is Danny Williams who receives the greatest ire of this high rolling audience. But caring about that is not in Williams’ job description. This is never any more evident then when the US Champion steps off the middle turnbuckle with the same air of confidence that always seems to surround this superstar. Walking to the center of the ring, Williams and Fasaki meet face-to-face for the first time since this match was signed. Hopping back and forth from leg to leg, Fasaki feels the pressure of this opportunity as Williams just glares forward with the confidence befitting a champion. Holding the US Title out to the towering referee, Danny allows Frost to take the title away and hand it to Frost who casually hands it off to the time keeper.

 

“You can just tell who here is used to this sort of big money matches,” remarks Stevens, “Danny Williams and Frost seem to be perfectly at ease here while Fasaki is a ball of nervous energy. We’ll just have to see as this match progresses if Fasaki can get his butterflies under control and create some sort of opposition to ‘Deathwish’ Danny Williams.”

 

Riley adds, “Well sometimes nerves provide that extra added desire you need to be a success. When you get complacent and secure, and I’m not saying Danny Williams is feeling that right now, that is when you get upset. Because the wolf that is climbing the hill is always hungrier than the one that is already up there.”

 

With the belt handed off to the timekeeper, Frost steps between the two combatants and relays them some Frost Brand TM pre match instructions while his cigar still hangs from his mouth like a huge smoking fang.

 

“Okay you two, obey my instructions at all times or I’ll put either one of you on the job train so fast your heads will spin. And Ejiro, if I see any hint of a chain I’m going to have to give you a little touch of early winter. Either one of you even think about touching me, you better think again right god damn now. You understand me, Face? Good. Ring that bell!”

 

DING! DING!

 

“Fight!” roars the Velvet Hammer as the two members of the Magnificent 7 begin to circle about each other looking for some sort of opening with which to make their first moves. But both men’s defenses are perfect for the moment and they finally resign to tying up in a neutral position with a collar-and-elbow tie up. And immediately, Danny uses his overwhelming strength advantage to easily shove Ejiro back a few steps until the smaller man into the ropes. Holding Fasaki against the strands, Danny waits patiently for Frost to force a break. Not having to wait long, Danny smiles to himself as the guest referee steps in to administer the break. And as soon as Fasaki puts his hands up in the air to signal his clean break, Danny swoops in with a hard elbow aimed squarely at his opponent’s face. But Ejiro has Williams’ tendencies well scouted and his easily ducks below the flashing elbow of The United States champion. Turning quickly, Fasaki leaps into the air and drives his feet into the chest of his opponent, sending Danny tumbling through the middle ropes and all the way to the arena floor. Immediately finding his feet, Danny dives right back into the ring as Fasaki dances backward and away from the angered US Champion.

 

“Ejiro had Danny pretty well pegged early there as the US Champion loves to start out matches with a series of elbows to gain the initial advantage. Fasaki must be betting that if he can parry away Danny’s initial offensive, he’ll frustrate Williams.”

 

Circling one more, Fasaki and Williams look each over for some sign of weakness. And this time Fasaki makes the first move, dropping low and shooting away for the leg of “Deathwish” but the well-schooled grappler flings his feet out behind him in order to avoid the grasp of his challenger. And as an extra bonus to his escape, Williams’ chest comes down on top of Fasaki’s outstretched body and the well schooled Williams immediately locks on a tight front facelock. Wrenching away on the hold, Williams looks to choke Fasaki down and out as the challenger struggles to get some air into his already depleted lungs. Not waiting around for Fasaki to pull a counter out of his hat, Danny immediately slips an arm underneath Ejiro’s and forces him over onto his back and into a pinning predicament. Sliding down to the canvas, Frost checks the position of the shoulders and finds that they off the canvas. But Danny continues to exert the pressure from this position and uses all of his 238 pounds to continue and press Ejiro into the canvas. But suddenly from underneath, Fasaki uses a bridge to send Danny off his prone from and back into a basic front facelock. Fighting up and to his feet, Ejiro struggles to escape the hold as Danny grinds into it tightly. Pressing into Williams with all of his might, Fasaki finally backs Williams into the ropes and causes Frost to step in once again and force a break.

 

“Already these two men are setting a grueling standard as Williams tries to use his superior strength and mat work to pulp Fasaki into a tall refreshing glass of OJ,” remarks Mark Stevens.

 

Releasing his grip for just a moment, Williams immediately rams down on Fasaki’s back with a series of forearms to the back. Easily turning the tables, Williams snap mares Ejiro down in the center of the ring and snaps on a rear chinlock as the Las Vegas fans sit on the edge of their seats. Almost immediately, Fasaki turns into Williams in order to relieve the pressure Danny was putting on his carotid artery. Struggling up against Williams’ superior strength Ejiro still manages to force his way up to a standing yet bowed position as Danny holds onto the chinlock. But Ejiro provides the immediately counter as he reaches down and pulls up on Danny’s ankle. Almost immediately, Danny over balances down to the mat as Ejiro continues to hold on with the leg. Turning around in a flash, Ejiro ties up Danny’s leg with a step over toehold as the fans let a respectful applause waft into in the ring.

 

“Smart wrestling there by Fasaki,” adds Riley as Stevens finishes his play-by-play recap of what the fans have just seen, “if Danny Williams does indeed have a weak point, it would have to be that weak ankle that has been plaguing him for quite some time now. And Fasaki loves to zero in on injuries like I love to zero in on Tom Flesher’s crotch.”

 

Although he is indeed in a fair degree of pain, Danny Williams is in no way going to be taken out of this contest with a simple toehold. Yet Fasaki continues to hold him there on the canvas, until that is, Danny brings his over leg to bear on the problem. Swinging it up into Fasaki’s chest, Williams pulls his body in tightly before exploding like a spring to press Ejiro off and stumbling into the ropes. Immediately rolling up to his feet, Danny keeps an eye on Fasaki as the challenger shows the champion the same degree of respect. Once again in a neutral position both men go back to the collar-and-elbow tie up for a mere moment before Williams easily and smoothly darts behind Fasaki and wraps him up in a reverse tight waist. Popping his hips, Danny lifts Fasaki into the air with ease before slamming him back onto the canvas with an amateur style takeover. With Fasaki down on his knees, Williams immediately rides around Fasaki’s body and goes back to the front facelock that he used so effectively a few minutes ago. But this time, Fasaki is ready for the coming hold and he easily rolls free of Williams’ grip and comes out with a wristlock placed on Williams’ left arm. Not willing to stay on the mat when he’s not in command, Danny immediately tries to find a way to escape the hold. Fighting up to a standing position, ‘Deathwish’ rolls forward and up to his feet in order to relieve the pressure and reverse the hold on Ejiro. But Ejiro has a counter of his own to this situation as he swiftly brings his leg forward and clips away William’s base with a swift kick to the back of the ankle that sends the United States Champion falling back to the canvas.

 

“Ejiro just kicked the leg out of Williams’ leg!” cackles Riley in one of those jokes that maybe four people will understand.

 

Pulling the wounded Williams off the mat by the wrist, Fasaki moves to send the US champion into the ropes, but instead, he stops Danny short and uses a short whip to flip Williams head over heels with a well placed knee to the stomach region. Continuing on this offensive, Ejiro pulls Williams off the mat once and quickly rings his bell with a short elbow across the side of Danny’s head that sends Williams back down to the mat once more. Shaking his arm loose after the impact, Ejiro nonetheless gives a little smile to Frost before he collects Danny off the mat once more. Holding onto the sides of Williams’ head, Ejiro brings a series of knees up and into the chest of his opponent in rapid succession before once again, loading up and blasting Williams across the head with an elbow strike. But this time Williams refuses to go down to the mat and instead lets loose a hoarse roar. Fasaki immediately brings another elbow to bear but Williams simply absorbs the blow and responds with once of his own that sends Fasaki staggering back a few steps. But Fasaki comes forward regardless with a chop across the chest of Danny, only to suddenly feel the lights go out as Williams takes to the air and smacks into the face of his opponent with the leaping Dynamic kick!

 

“What a move!” shouts Stevens as both men lay on the canvas for a moment, “Fasaki made a grave mistake if he thought he could match strikes with Danny Williams. I’m not sure anyone in the SWF can do that.”

 

“Well, if there is one person that can... he’s standing in the ring right now. Thankfully, Frost is just the referee.”

 

Slowly rolling over, Danny pushes Fasaki onto his back and covers up tightly as Frost drops down for the first count of the night.

 

ONE!

 

TWOONNNNOOOOOOOOOO!

 

Fasaki shoots a shoulder away from the mat almost immediately after Frost’s hand touches the mat for the second time. But with that arm up in the air like it is it provides the perfect target for another one of William’s trademark maneuvers. Almost immediately Danny centers in on the arm and wraps his legs around the appendage before falling back to the mat and trying to hook the jujigatame cross armbreaker! Almost by instinct, Fasaki quickly hooks his hands together to keep from getting his arm hyper extended by Danny’s viscous submission hold while at the same time trying to get himself close enough to the ropes to force a break. But before he can wiggle that far, Williams slams a fist down across Fasaki’s clasped hands and breaks Ejiro’s grip. Finally free to put all of his weight down on one joint, Williams rolls back to the mat and rips away at the arm of his challenger. Almost immediately however, Fasaki manages to reach a foot out and touch the bottom rope with the very tip of the toe of his boot. With Frost right there to make the call, Danny begrudgingly releases his death grip and rolls away Fasaki for just a moment.

 

Stevens calls into his headset, “Fasaki really managed to dodge a bullet, Riley. With Danny putting all that pressure on Fasaki’s arm, if Ejiro hadn’t gotten to the ropes when he did, this match would have been history.”

 

“What’s really history in the making is Frost’s outstanding job at officiating thus far in this contest. You know, if Tom Flesher hadn’t been a referee already tonight, I would say Frost might actually be the best referee of all time. But Tom did... so, you know how it is.”

 

Pulling the injured Fasaki away from the ropes by the leg, Williams immediately goes about the task of taking his opponent apart the most simple and brutal way that he can. Pulling the leg and into his armpit, Danny immediately begins to use his power to turn Fasaki over the top with a high half crab that has Ejiro making contact with the mat with only his upper chest and head. But before Williams can bring a foot down on Ejiro’s head and seal his fate, the limber challenger is already on the move. Pushing the limits of his plasticity, Fasaki manages to worm his way up and out of the half crab and whip Danny off with an amazing turn of his body. Rising up to his feet, Fasaki hopes to get out of the defensive position he’s been in since that Dynamic kick but is only knocked with back down to the canvas with a huge rushing elbow from the engine of destruction known as Danny Williams. Snorting with contempt, Williams immediately hauls Ejiro off the mat and steps in from behind for what is sure to be a Dangerous backdrop suplex! But Fasaki has trained himself well enough that at this time, even the feel of that move coming is enough to send him into an automatic defense. Feeling Danny behind him, Ejiro immediately brings his elbow down across the back of Danny Williams’ head again and again like a hammer in order to break the champion’s grip. Fighting loose of the hold, Fasaki steps forward out of the grip of the champion and immediately swings his entire body around. With the elbows temporarily dimming his lights, Danny only has a moment to see Ejiro flying at him before the challenger smashes into the back of his head with a stunning enziguri kick. Quickly regaining his feet and darting behind Williams, Fasaki lifts him high into the air before falling strait back with a backdrop suplex of his own!

 

“BACKDROPAAAAAAAAAAAA!” shouts Stevens at the top of his lungs as Danny’s head roars into the canvas at break neck speeds, “Cover!”

 

ONE!

 

TWO!

 

THRENNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

 

“I think Williams managed to cradle his head with his free hand on the way down,” remarks Riley, “How the hell else could he possibly be conscious right now?”

 

Casting a dark look in the direction of the cigar smoking referee, Ejiro shrugs his shoulders at Frost as if to say, ‘How was that not the end?’ But nonetheless, even Fasaki knows that he cannot engage in combat with the referee and still gain a hold of the coveted United States title. Pulling Williams off the canvas once more to a staggering vertical base, Fasaki once again takes flight in order to crack into the side of the US Champion’s head with an enziguri. But Williams manages to get both hands up and parry the blow away! Working his way back up to his feet, Fasaki considers his next move for just a moment before tossing a hard elbow into the face of his opponent, sending his rocking back and into the ropes. Taking Williams by the wrist, Fasaki looks to send him into the strands, but the larger, more powerful wrestler is easily able to reverse the flow and send the challenger careening into the ropes. Dropping his head, Williams looks to propel Ejiro into the air with a backdrop only to have Ejiro go flying overhead and grasping Williams thighs on the way over with a sunset flip. Struggling mightily to force Danny down, Ejiro can simply not find the leverage needed to complete the pinning combination. Instead, Ejiro ends up eating the point of Williams’ knee as he quickly pulls himself free of Fasaki’s grip and comes wrenching down across the face of his challenger.

 

“Nice counter there by Williams,” remarks Stevens, “Not only did he avoid the pinning combination but he also he also might have managed to turn this whole thing around with one well-placed knee.”

 

“Oh, I know this guy who knows just how to place his knee for the perfect effect and his name is...”

 

“Please, Riley, you’re going to get us all sued!”

 

“... Triple H. What? He used the knee in transition a whole lot. Haven’t you ever noticed?”

 

Holding onto the back of his head and rapidly shaking lose the cobwebs from that belly-to-back suplex, Williams nevertheless continues to exhibit his tank-like qualities as he gets right back on his challenger. Pulling Ejiro into a seated position, Danny rears back and slams his shin into the back of his opposition as even Frost winces at the sharp sound of contact. Moving in front of Ejiro next, Danny uses a hard chop across the chest to not only send Ejiro flat to the canvas but draw the sympathy groans of the entire Las Vegas crowd. Not finished with the upstart by any means, Williams pulls him up and off the canvas by the hair while holding Ejiro’s face down facing the mat. Again moving his body back a little, Williams comes flying forward with a flurry of punting kicks to the brow and nose of his opponent again and again and again and again as Fasaki’s entire body wobbles on its unconscious feet. That is until Williams whips his boot forward one last time and sends Ejiro flying backward all the way to the mat like a tree felled by a lumberjack.

 

“Sweet Mother of God! I think Danny Williams might have just kicked Ejiro Fasaki to death right before our very eyes,” yelps Stevens as Danny walks about the ring with a casual air, all the while drawing oxygen back into his body and recuperating nicely from Fasaki’s earlier assaults.

 

Almost nonchalantly, Williams waits on Ejiro to drag his mangy carcass off the mat once more with the help of the ring ropes. Slowly pulling himself off the mat, Fasaki desperately looks about himself to see if his glazed eyes can even find Danny at this point. And Ejiro does not have long to wait as Williams comes charging in while spinning his body about in preparation for taking Fasaki’s head off with the rolling elbow. But that is just not meant to be!

 

THAWK!

 

“Fasaki ducked out the way and swiped out Danny’s ankle with a spinning ground kick!” exclaims Stevens as Williams’ body immediately goes falling down to the mat.

 

“Ha!” laughs Riley, “Ejiro knows whenever he gets in trouble exactly what to aim for. He knows that ankle is always going to be tender. And he also knows that Danny won’t be able to get the drive from his legs he needs to be effective throwing strikes if his ankle can’t hold up. It’s smart on so many levels. I’m just surprised Ejiro is doing his taxes at the same time.”

 

Slowly and painfully hobbled at the time being, Danny Williams struggles up to a ginger vertical base as Fasaki also struggles to regain some measure of control of this match. Taking a wobbling step towards Ejiro once more, Williams still manages to grab a handful of hair and bring his opponent up to a standing position. But Ejiro Fasaki does not stand there for long before immediately throwing the lowest dropkick in the history of the business that collides once more with the ankle of The United States Heavyweight Champion and sends him falling back to the mat. On the wounded ankle like a hyena, Fasaki immediately places his legs around both ends of the ankle and driving down to the mat with a Curt Hennig ankle buster. Screaming out in pain, Danny holds onto to consciousness but is unable to mount any sort of defense as Fasaki immediately wraps his body around the injured leg once again before falling to the mat with the figure four leglock! Screaming out in agony immediately, Williams braces his body up on his hands in order to keep from being pressed to the mat for a pinning combination. While at the same time, Fasaki ruthlessly snaps his body back against the mat time and again, hoping that the sudden pressure to the ankle will be enough to cause Danny Williams to tap out. But the dogged US champion is not about to hand his title over to this god damned cruiserweight son of a bitch. Watching on from a kneeling position, Frost continues to look on with a steady eye waiting for Danny to either submit or fall to the mat for a pinning situation. So intense is Frost’s concentration that he even discards the cigar that he has been chewing on this entire match and instead pulls a flask out of his back pocket and taking a large drought as Fasaki demands that Danny submit to this hold. But there is no quit in the frame of Danny Williams and he slowly but surely drags his smaller opponent closer and closer to the ropes before finally reaching out and making contact with them enough to have Frost step in and break the hold.

 

“Narrow escape there by Williams,” remarks Stevens, “One would think that if Fasaki can continue to pound away on that ankle that he’ll eventually be able to make Danny tap out with another hold of that caliber.”

 

But Ejiro seemingly has no interest in heading back in that direction, instead he stands above the down US champion and drives a series of hard boots down across his upper body in order to set Danny up for something with a little more impact. Slowly pulling Danny off the mat once more, Fasaki pulls his opponent’s head in between his legs and grab a hold of Williams with a double arm.

 

“EJIROCATION!” shouts Riley with premature ecstasy; “If he drops Williams on his head with this thing, the match will be over faster than bellbottoms.”

 

Holding Danny tight, Ejiro flexes all of his muscles in an attempt to pull the champion vertical. But the well schooled US champion throws his legs out wide in order to deaden the momentum and lands back on his feet. Dropping down to a knee makes it even harder for Fasaki to complete his favorite finishing maneuver and so he forgoes the move for now in order to slam an elbow into the side of Danny’s exposed skull. Pulling the stunned Williams off the canvas up once more, Ejiro shrugs him into a turnbuckle with a low speed Irish whip. Slowly stalking his opponent, Fasaki finally moves in with a rapid kick to the midsection of the man known as “Deathwish”. Holding onto the top rope, Fasaki once more swings a round kick into the sternum of his opponent before grabbing a hold of Danny by the wrist and sending him running across the ring with an Irish whip. With Danny temporarily incapacitated, Ejiro takes a moment to pull down his kneepad and expose the hard bone below as the fans look on with interest as to what Fasaki might have planned. Rushing forward, Fasaki takes to the air once more in this match and looks to smash Danny right in the face with a leaping knee on to get caught in midair! Catching Ejiro around the thigh as he came flying in, Williams holds on tightly as Fasaki hops up on one leg unable to defend himself as Danny looks to legally murder him. Flinging Fasaki back, Williams crushes his head into the top turnbuckle with the Dangerous Backdrop! His neck colliding with the turnbuckles at an alarming speed, Fasaki tumbles over the top rope and limply falls all the way to the floor as Danny lies still on the mat and Frost just looks on with his mouth agape.

 

“Lord in heaven. I think Fasaki might be dead. He may be dead,” whispers ‘Grand Slam’ over his microphone as Bobby Riley for once has nothing at all to say.

 

Sliding out of the ring almost immediately Frost goes to check in on the condition of what just be considered a condemned man. Dropping low next to Ejiro’s face, Frost looks in before standing back up and walking back into the ring via the ring steps. Once inside the ring, Frost begins to start in on the ten count towards a count out as Williams finally stirs up to his shaky feet.

 

ONE!

 

“This will be a merciful end for this match,” calls Stevens.

 

TWO!

 

“Because there is just no way Fasaki can still compete here against a person of Danny Williams’ caliber.”

 

THREE!

 

FOUR!

 

FIVE!

 

“Williams breaks the count!” shouts Stevens indignantly as Williams brushes past Frost and steps through the middle ropes to recover his prey, “What in the hell can Williams be thinking here?”

 

“I think he might be out to prove a point to Ejiro and The Magnificent 7,” counters Riley, “Danny Williams is an absolute. You mess with him, his title, and his spot and you end up paying the ultimate price.”

 

Limping over to the comatose form of his opponent, Danny pulls Fasaki up and tosses him underneath the bottom rope and back into the ring. Following his prey back inside the ring, Williams takes his time in order to savor this moment as he lies across Ejiro’s unmoving carcass with casual disdain as Frost counts away.

 

ONE!

 

TWO!

 

FOOT’S OUT!

 

Looking right at Fasaki the entire time, Frost immediately spots the moment where Ejiro Fasaki lazily places a foot on the bottom rope in order to continue this match. Looking back at the leg with a angered expression, Danny Williams steps up to his feet and shakes his head as Ejiro continues to lay his foot out on the bottom rope in the vain hope that it might save him. But Williams is not down with that plan in the slightest as he takes Fasaki by the wrist and drags him out towards the center of the ring. Pulling Ejiro up and to his feet for just a moment, Danny reaches down low before using a hard body slam to plant his challenger right into the center of the canvas. With deliberate malice, Williams drops a hard knee down across the Ejiro’s forehead just to show the world just how much he is control of this contest. Looking to polish this thing off Danny steps up to the middle rope and eyes Fasaki up for one last punishing blow. Diving off the middle turnbuckle, Danny drops the knee...

 

INTO THE CANVAS!

 

Sitting out of the way in the nick of time, Fasaki allows Williams’ knee to collide with the mat as the US Champion rolls onto the mat in pain as his ankle immediately begins to swell within the confines of his wrestling boots. Staggering up to his feet, Fasaki stalks Williams as he hobbles back up to his feet once more only to be caught in the stomach with a hard boot. Doubling over, Danny’s arms are once again locked tight as Fasaki looks to drop Danny down on his head. But even now, Danny has the sense of mind to drop down to a knee in order to block the lift. Releasing the arms once again, Fasaki slams forearms down across the back of the US champion again and again before once more locking up the arms.

 

This time, Williams can’t fight it off...

 

This time, he does go vertical...

 

This time, he does get driven into the canvas...

 

“EJIROCATION!” shouts Stevens and Riley in synch as Danny goes slumping into the canvas in a heap of humanity. Pushing Williams over, Ejiro Fasaki reaches back to hook a leg as Frost drops down to make the cover...

 

ONE!

 

TWO!

 

THREEEEEENNAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

 

“Unbelievable! Danny Williams kicked out of the Ejirocation! No one in the history of the sport has ever kicked out of Ejiro’s patented finishing maneuver!”

 

Looking at Frost once more in shock, Ejiro Fasaki cannot believe the war that has taken place so far here tonight. Slowly and painfully moving, Fasaki grasps Danny by the side of the head and starts to work him back up to his feet. But Danny still has enough fight left in him to bury a right hand into the gut of his opponent and give himself a moment to mount another assault. Another fist collides with Ejiro’s midsection and sends him hopping of the mat for just a moment as Williams rises all the way up to his feet. Reeling back with all the energy left in his reverses, Danny tosses a lariat strait at the face of his challenger only to see Ejiro duck underneath and come up from behind with a staggering elbow to the back of Williams’ head. Another hard elbow collides with Danny’s cranium and sends the US champion staggering for just a moment before Fasaki turns on his inside foot and hits...

 

“THE SCREAAAAAAAAMMMMMMING ELBOWWWWWWWWW~!”

 

Danny twists for just a moment on his feet to reflect on his battered state before he instanty collapses to the mat. And immediately Ejiro falls strait down on top of the champion and hooks thew far leg just as Frost drops down to the mat and counts...

 

ONE!

 

TWO!

 

 

 

TWO AND A HALF!

 

 

 

THREEEEEEEEEE!

 

“We have a new champion! We have a new champion! We have a new champion!”

 

DING! DING! DING!

 

As Frost calls to the timekeeper for the US title belt Ejiro lifts an arm into the air while still on top of his fallen opponent. Exhausted from the effort, Fasaki cannot even stand as Funyon reels off the official announcement.

 

“The winner of this match ... and NEWWWWWWWW SWF United Stated Heavyweight Champion... EEEEEEJIROOOOO FASAKIIIIII!”

 

Pulling his body to a corner, Ejiro sits in the corner as Danny Williams slowly begins to stir from the impact of that devastating piledriver and elbow combination. And standing in the middle of the ring with the SWF US title belt stands Frost, ready and willing to hand the title over to the victor of this contest. Stepping over to Ejiro, Frost lowers a ham like fist and uses it to raises Fasaki up to a standing position just before slapping the title belt across his shoulder. While on the canvas, Danny slams a fist down into the canvas in anger before rolling underneath the bottom rope and walking away from the ring without even a second glance back. Holding the title belt high into the air, Fasaki looks out to the crowd in triumph with his newly won prize as Frost looks on and we take a break for commercial.

[Guest Beingz0wningj00]

We are not losers... we are just victory challenged.

[Guest Suicide King]

An excellent match I thought, Ejiro. Certainly nothing to be ashamed of.

[Guest Coffin Surfer]

Overall it was a very well written match, especially the dialouge between Riley and Stevens. Defiently about as good as you can get in that department, better than mine by far.

 

Though as you admited you suffered from the Danny Williams(SJL, early SWF) problem of lacking the flash this time out. I'll tell you the same thing that I was told, you need better use of paragraph and commentary breaks inorder to point out transition and key spots.

 

Now to the actual in ring stuff. You could have built the tension between the three men a bit better, since this match's booked purpose was to tease a meltdown of the stable. Just one spot was all that was needed. But that's just my perspective.

 

I want everyone to take notice of this, I took the ankle injury out of my stats for a reason. I didn't want the people writing against me to get trapped in having to build a match around one of the most difficult and boring body parts to work over. Everyone just forget the injury, Williams took the money he got with pay raise for being the U.S. Champion and had a very expensive operation to fix his ankle.

 

Your match was very solid, it established a simple story and stuck with it(the ankle). Though it was flawed in some regards, which isn't good when the match is simple and low key. If it's Misawa/Kobashi 1/97 you can get away with the flaws, because they are working at a 100 mph for over 40 minutes of exciting action. But if your going for an NWA old school low key approach, the flaws become much more apparent and troublesome.

 

The biggest flaw was the DANGEROUS BACKDROP INTO THE TURNBUCKLES! Jesus Christ, man. You cannot come back from that, I don't care how fucking crazy you are. This is a move that should be able to put Silent(in his no selling glory days) down for the three! You did a bail outside of the ring, which is enough to put over a normal Dangerous Backdrop, BUT NOT A DANGEROUS BACKDROP INTO THE TURNBUCKLES! Not to mention all it takes is one move transition off a missed knee of all things, for Ejiro to come back and put Williams away.

 

Some other stuff is less bothersome, but still irritating. The third start over late in the match is very unwarrented. Quit killing time and Get on with the match, you bastards!

 

You did a good job of establishing your own offense, but my character's offense seemed pretty directionless. This is something I've been experimenting with alot lately, looking at the match from both guys perpesctive. Giving both guys smart game plans, and have them try to outthink each other.

 

I do love the Misawaesque ending with Williams kicking out of the finisher only to be finished off with an Elbow Flurry. Probably the most enjoyable thing about the match. Once again, solid but rather flawed.

 

I hope I could help, we'll have to go at it again some time.

I'm ashamed of my match, so I won't post it.

 

That is all.
