Black-PRL

[Mystery Eskimo 0]

Ok, so PRL might have some stuff to add to this. But I figured I'd post this here given his notorious late submissions.

 

BUFFER

The following contest is scheduled for one fall and is for a place in the World Title match at --! The 24/7 title is NOT on the line, and there is a BAN on ringside attendance!

 

Cue: "Quiet"

 

And cue a mixed reaction from the fans - cheers from those that have appreciated the stance that this man has taken in defending the OAOAST, boos from those who don't believe he could have changed.

 

BUFFER

Introducing first, from London England, weighing 235lbs, he is a former three time World Tag Team champion and has held numerous singles titles...he is the "Ice Heart" Daaaaaaaaan BLLLLLLACK!

 

Black smoke spreads across the stage, billowing upwards. Dan Black emerges through it, in long black trench coat and glistening black shades. He smoothes back his hair as he walks down to the ring, a familiar smirk on his face.

 

COLE

Black going back to his entrance routine that we haven't seen for a few months. But he's going to need more that routine for this match.

 

COACH

That's right. This is going to be a first ever meeting between these two men, and Black is going to have his hands full with his opponent.

 

CABOOSE

Those spots in the World Title match are extremely valuable, even more so in the current climate.

 

Dan climbs into the ring and removes his attire, before stretching out on the ropes. The smirk is now gone, replaced by a cold look of determination.

 

Cue: “Know Your Roll 99”

 

BUFFER

And his opponent, from Jan Juan, Puerto Rico, weighing 220lbs, the reigning 24/7 Champion, he is the Puerrrrrrrrrrrrto RI-CAN!

PR comes down to the ring alone, looking equally as confident as Black. The fans show their unwavering opinion of him.

 

*BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!*

 

COLE

The Puerto Rican has long quested after the World Title, and this will be his biggest chance to date to get into the picture.

 

CABOOSE

Well, we'll see how well he goes without his entourage to back him up. A good call by Calvin to ban ringside presence. We want our World Title contenders to be truly deserving.

 

PR climbs into the ring and takes up an opposite corner to Dan Black. Referee Charles Robinson pats Dan down, and then does the same to his opponent before calling for things to get under way.

 

*DING DING*

 

The two men both snap forward quickly into a lockup. Black arches his back to try and power the smaller PR down, but PR just backs away into the ropes where Robinson counts the break. Dan steps away and breaks cleanly, but throws a fake punch that has PR covering up. Black grins at the minor psych out and steps back into the middle of the ring. PR adjusts his tights with an expression of deep disgust before the two lock up again.

 

This time the PR backs Black into a corner, and again Robinson counts the break. PR goes for a fake punch of his own, but Dan doesn’t buy it and just shoves PR away. PR comes right back, aiming a kick to the gut, but Dan catches his boot. PR shakes his head as Dan grins, and just flips PR over backwards to the mat!

PR jumps right back up, dizzied, and charges Black who easily takes him down with a drop toe hold and then scoots around to lock on a front headlock.

 

PR forces himself up into a kneeling position, and with pressure on Dan’s right arm breaks his grip and reverses to his own headlock. Black quickly rises to a standing position however, and, grabbing PR’s arm, flips him off and down to the mat where he works a standing wristlock. PR counters in turn, kipping up and reversing to his own wristlock. Black executes a forward roll to weaken PR’s grip and then just headbutts him hard!

 

PR falls to the mat, but rolls backwards out of Dan’s reaching arms and clamps on a side headlock as he rises! Black shoves PR off to the ropes and knocks him down on the return with a shoulder block, but misses with the dropped elbow. PR spins up and kicks Dan in the gut, snap mares him over onto his behind and locks on a rear chin lock.

 

COLE

These two just trading holds so far.

 

CABOOSE Well, this is a first time match. No doubt they’ve watched each other wrestle a hundred times in all their time in the OAOAST, but nothing can prepare you for actual in ring experience.

 

Black pulls at PRs fingers locked under his chin, and loosens his grip enough to spin to one side and up into a waist lock. Black quickly lifts PR up and round and drops him stomach first to the mat with an amateur style take down, then moving into another grounded side headlock.

 

PR doesn’t allow Dan time to settle, and rolls over sharply, hauling Black with him and pinning Dan’s shoulders to the mat –

 

ONE

 

TWO!

 

Dan kicks out and rolls away. Both men up and Dan charges but gets spun over with an arm drag. Black to his feet, PR charges and Black just chops him hard across the chest, knocking him to the mat!

PR sits up, and Dan dropkicks him in the face! The impact is heard throughout the arena, and Dan jumps onto PR for the cover –

 

ONE!

 

TWO!

 

PR kicks out!

 

Dan brings PR to his feet and tries to whip him across the ring into a corner, but PR reverses it and sends Dan that way. Black grabs the top ropes and lifts his body up and PR, following him in, goes under Dan’s raised legs. Black lands behind him and locks on a waist lock, but PR spins out and tries a schoolboy roll up, but Dan rolls right through it, and the two men rise face to face!

 

COACH

No clear advantage here at all!

 

CABOOSE

So far things have been pretty even tempered. I think one of these guys needs to start getting mean in order to gain the upper hand.

 

Indeed, PR seems to have that idea as he stomps Dan’s foot and then catches him with a European uppercut! Whip to the ropes, where Black grabs the cables to stop himself, but PR just runs with a dropkick to the chest which spills Dan out over the top to the floor!

 

PR grabs the top rope and springs himself out over with a splash onto Black on the floor! PR picks Dan up and flings him onto the guardrail, where he chops him hard! This only seems to annoy the Ice Heart, however, and he chops back even harder! PR clutches his chest in pain and staggers away, but Dan grabs him and lashes his pectorals with another skin splitting chop!

 

PR yells in pain, but as Black goes for a third chop he ducks it and hurls the off balance Black back first into the guardrail! PR grabs Dan and throws him quickly back into the ring, where he lifts Dan up and nails him with a backbreaker into a cover:

 

ONE!

 

TWO!

 

Dan kicks out!

 

PR brings Black up and whips him to the ropes, trying to backdrop Dan, but he telegraphs it and Black is able to calmly kick him in the chest and then nails him with a stiff lariat as PR’s head is snapped up.

 

Black decides against a cover and brings PR up, setting for a belly to back suplex, but PR flips out, landing behind Dan, and drives his knee into Black’s back, then hits a belly to back of his own! Black rolls over onto his front, allowing PR to run the ropes and drive a Muta-style elbow into his spine!

 

COLE

PR starting to target Dan’s back!

 

COACH

He is a fine technical wrestler, and he always has a plan.

 

PR brings Dan up and just plants him with a simple body slam, more impact on the back. He hits Dan with another, and then goes for a third, but this time Black kicks to bring his legs back down to the mat and hits PR with a body slam of his own! Dan does clutch his back a little, but doesn’t have time to tend to the potential injury as PR is straight back up.

 

PR swings and Dan ducks, locking on a full nelson, but PR lifts and grabs his own leg and uses the leverage to break the hold, spinning around to a waist lock on Black and drilling him with a bridging German suplex!

 

ONE!

 

TWO!

 

TH – kickout!

 

PR grins as Dan remains prone on the mat, before slowly bringing him up and flipping him over with a snap mare – but Dan lands on his feet! Black spins away from PR, who swears and swings for him – but Dan catches his arm and drags him down into the Heart of Ice! (crippler crossface)

 

COLE

An athletic escape from Black, and now PRL is in trouble!

 

CABOOSE

Black is dangerous as hell with that hold, you have to respect that.

 

PR yells in pain, and Charles Robinson asks the question, but PR is able to extend one of his legs and just scrape the ropes with his boot so that Robinson counts Dan off. Black rolls away regretfully, holding his back.

 

PR gets to his feet, but Dan just charges past Robinson with a hard knee to the gut, and then nails him with a pair of head snapping European uppercuts! Black whips PRL off the ropes and as he returns just nails him in the face with Yakuza kick!

 

Cover!

 

ONE!

 

TWO!

 

THR- kick out!

 

COACH

Dan should really have let PRL get back to his feet properly.

 

CABOOSE

I think Black realized he’s going to have to take every shortcut he can if he wants to win this match.

 

Dan brings the stunned PR up and applies a front facelock, lifting PR up and dropping him onto the top turnbuckle. Dan climbs up after him, throwing a few forearm shots to keep his opponent subdued. Black lifts PR up into position for a superglue, when PR responds with a blow to the gut and then shoves Dan all the way down to the mat! He hits hard on his back but immediately starts to get up. PR waits for him to turn and face the corner and then leaps off the top rope with a missile dropkick to Black’s sternum!

 

Cover!

 

ONE!

 

TWO!

 

THRE- kickout!

 

PR swears and drags Dan up with a handful of hear. He bodyslams him back near the corner, turns Black over so his back is exposed, and heads back up top. The crowd boos as PR applauds himself…and then executes a shooting star press down onto Black’s back!

 

COACH

What a high flying move from the Puerto Rican! Black’s back has got to be in serious pain!

 

PR holds his stomach from the hard landing, but after a moment rolls Dan over and hooks the leg:

 

ONE!

 

TWO!

 

 

THREEEEE- Kickout!

 

PR looks disbelieving, but Charles Robinson confirms the count as 2. PR grabs Black up and whips him hard into the corner. Dan hits hard and falls down to one knee. PR laughs and holds his hands up in a victory pose as Black struggles back to his feet. PR grabs him and whips him across the ring again. Black hits the turnbuckle hard again, and PR runs in with a splash, but Dan leaps aside and PR eats the corner pads!

 

Black catches him in a full nelson and hits a bridging Dragon suplex!

 

ONE

 

TWO!

 

THREE – no! PR kicks out!

 

Dan gets up quickly, eager to maintain his sudden momentum, and brings PR up too, clubbing him on the back on the next with forearms as he does so. He then snapmares PR over onto his behind, picks him up by the next and snapmares him over again, and repeats this three more times, flipping PR in a circle around the ring!

 

COLE

Rolling snapmares from Dan Black!

 

CABOOSE

They’ll dizzy the Puerto Rican – and also work on his neck. That’s Black’s favourite area to attack, and he made a good start with that Dragon suplex.

 

Dan picks PR up, and lifts him up into the Razor’s Edge position – but then flips him over and into an Ace Crusher!

 

COLE

He calls that “Into the Black”! The motion adds to the impact of the Crusher.

 

CABOOSE

Which again targets the neck…do I have to finish everything for you?

 

ONE!

 

TWO!

 

THRE- PR kicks out. Black brings him up and sets him in a standing headscissors, looking for a piledriver, but as he lifts PR up his back gives out and Dan has to drop PR back to the mat, where he’s able to lift Black up and drop him over with a back drop!

 

PR falls against the ropes and takes a moment to rub his neck and recuperate. Dan slowly picks himself up, but PR stings him with a forearm shots and quickly executes a snap suplex. PR rolls through it and tries for another, but Dan blocks it and counters into a cradle:

 

ONE!

 

TWO!

 

PR kicks out and swings and misses at Dan as they rise. Black quickly snapmares him over again and this time dropkicks him in the back of the neck, before going for the Heart of Ice, but PR scrambles to the ropes before he can lock it in.

Black again has to back off, with Robinson this time making sure he doesn’t rush in on the attack. The referee’s diverted attention means, of course, that PR can attack over his shoulder, stunning Dan with a forearm shot and a fisherman’s suplex –

 

ONE!

 

TWO!

 

THRE – no! Another kick out.

 

PR rolls Dan up and whips him off the ropes, trying for an armdrag, but Black spins out to one side and connects with a hard chop. Dan follows with KICK WHAM BLACKOUT – but PR pushes him off to the ropes! Black ducks under PR’s swing as he bounces back and hits him with a reverse DDT!

 

ONE!

 

TWO!

 

THREE!

 

NO!

PR throws up a shoulder.

 

COLE

The counts are getting closer and closer to three!

CABOOSE

How surprising. What’s more important is that we’ve seen these two men are pretty even so far. Without inside interference, it might be that the winner will be the one who can gain an advantage when the referee’s back is turned.

 

Dan lifts the Puerto Rican up to his feet and applies a side headlock, going back to pressure on the neck. PR tries to push him off to the ropes, but Dan holds on and won’t go. PR tries again, but Black keeps his grip. Finally PR just runs forward, trying to drive Black towards the ropes, but instead he collides with Charles Robinson who falls to the mat!

 

PR reacts fast as his lightning nickname and delivers a jackhammer low blow to Black! PR rouses Robinson to alertness and then ties up Dan with a La Majistral cradle!

 

ONE!

 

TWO!

 

THREE!

 

 

NO!

 

Dan kicks out! PR slams the mat in frustration, while Dan tries to roll out of the ring. PR quickly grabs him back and signals for his “Latin Slam” (Rock Bottom). PR grabs Dan around the shoulder and goes to lift him up, but Dan elbows out and tries for the Black Out once more, but PR shoves him off and then connects with his own stunner variation, the Cappa Killer!

 

ONE!

 

TWO!

 

THREE!

 

 

NO! Shoulder up!

PR gets to his feet and just starts firing hard kicks into Black’s side, forcing him to roll away, whereupon PR starts to kick the back. He drags Dan up, whips him off the ropes and delivers a crushing tilta whirl backbreaker!

 

ONE!

 

TWO!

 

THREE!

 

No! Dan again kicks out, and PRL immediately grabs his legs and tries to turn him round into a Boston Crab! But Black kicks him off and gets slowly to his feet. PR hits him with a forearm to the back, and tries to flip him off his feet back to the mat, but Dan clubs at the back of his neck and his able to get him into position for a powerbomb – but again the back goes, and PRL lands on his feet and rolls Black up!

 

ONE!

 

 

TWO!

 

 

PR grabs the bottom rope for leverage!

THREE!

 

PR springs to his feet in triumph!

 

Bur Charles Robinson is waving off the pin, signaling that he noticed PR’s rope grab. The Puerto Rican is furious, grabbing Robinson by the collar, and is only restrained from attacking Lil Naitch by Dan Black’s dragging him down into the Heart of Ice!

 

PR screams in pain and tries to make the ropes, as Dan wrenches back on the hold…but suddenly Black shouts in pain, as the camera shows a close up with PR twisting his head to bite Dan’s arm!

 

COLE

That’s a unique counter! PR is good with his mouth!

 

CABOOSE

Just how you like…oh, its too easy.

 

Black breaks the hold and wrings out his gnawed arm. PR spits and nails Dan a dropkick that propels him into a corner. PR runs after him, but Black meets him with a vicious STO that slams him right on the back of his neck! Cover!

 

ONE!

 

 

TWO!

 

 

Black has his feet on the 2nd rope!

 

THREE!

 

 

DING DING DING

 

BUFFER

The winner of the match and moving onto the World Title match at World Without End – DAN BLLLLLLLLLAAAAAAACK!

 

COLE

Black totally stole it!

 

CABOOSE

Well, let’s not act surprised. Black may be more popular recently but he’ll still break the rules as readily as anyone of the men he opposes.

 

COACH

How could Robinson have missed that but he saw PR grab the ropes?! That’s unfair.

Dan is up, holding his back, and allowing Charles Robinson to raise his hand in victory!

 

COLE

Well, that’s one of Hoff’s opponents determined. And Hoff and Dan Black have never met before! What a challenging match this will be for the big H.

 

PR is up and furious. He shoves Robinson to the mat and slugs Dan down, stomping away at his injured back, before dragging him up and hitting the Puerto Rican Nightmare in the middle of the ring. PR spits and swears as the crowd is united in their jeers.
