The Takeuchi's vs United Kingdom Elite

Daisuke would be regretting that lock up right about now as he came out second best in that contest, despite his cheap shot- kneeing his opponent in the gut, the wrestling prince found himself to be reeling back from Ryan with his hands wrapped around his body and doubled over infront of the paragon of Britain.

Daisuke didnt quite see where his opponent was, rather he was more interested in just backing away from the center and he paid for that mistake as Ryan quickly stepped in to grab his arm and go behind him, hooking his leg with Daisuke's as both men went down on their backs, with the wrestling prince taking much more of the impact as he got sweeped down in a classic russian leg sweep maneuver.

*THUD*

"Uuughh! S-shit" he groaned as he clutched the back of his head and rolled away to the side.

Ryan might have looked like a big rich bloke, but he had a solid grasp of the classic wrestling moves. After all if one was to succeed in anything that required effort then one needed a grasp of the fundamentals, it took a hard and long slog through the Asian indie circuit to learn that. But the toil had earned Mr Knight several victories, and he'd now gained the advantage for his team.

It was time to try and press it, cause some more pain to the opponent. The more Daisuke was worn down the less effective he'd be as the match went on, and then advantage UK Elite. With that in mind now that wrestling prince was down on the ground, it was time for the British paragon to begin the ground game. Granted he wasn't as adept as the master of creation when it came to that area, but Ryan still had a few tricks up his sleeve.

Most of the time Ryan kept things simple and effective, that is aside from his finishing moves. But they were to be the most effective and conclude the match, with that in mind Mr Knight would try to get behind Daisuke and apply a sleeper hold. Attempting to whittle down the wrestling prince was the primary objective.

Daisuke wasnt expecting that leg sweep, he was caught off guard and paid the price for it as he was down on his back. He let out a small moan when shifting to his side, his hands clutching the small of his back as he started to shake his head to try and get his head back in the game. He wasn't aware of his opponents position and the wrestling prince would pay for that mistake.

Daisuke shifted up on one knee and immediately felt a strong arm going around his neck from behind as Ryan trapped Daisuke in a classic sleeperhold. Daisuke let out a grunt as his hands went up around Ryans forearm trying to pry them off his neck, if that did not work he would try a different approach- going for a couple of elbow shots back into his opponents side.

Ryan was making sure to keep the opponent worn down as best he could, after knocking the enemy down it always paid dividends to do so. This was a part of Mr Knight's gameplan, after slamming around the opponent down the British paragon would stay on them. Given that Ryan had favoured powerhouse moves the enemy wasn't usually going to be moving too far after being slammed.

Still Daisuke was a persistent man, the wrestling prince was of course just wasn't going to lie there and take the pressure. Mr Knight would be quite annoyed if he didn't, wrestling was a sport where all involved needed to give their all. Else there was no point to even stepping through the ropes.

The paragon of Britain let out a grunt as his opponent drove some elbow shots into his toned gut. Wasn't the worst strike he'd taken, still it proved troublesome. Maybe it wasn't best to whittle down Daisuke with a submission, perhaps it's best to go and take the fight to em. With that in mind Mr Knight would try to convert the sleeper hold into a standing version of it, and then try and shove the wrestling prince towards the ropes. And when Daisuke was coming on the rebound Ryan would bend over front, in the hopes of flipping him over his shoulders as the wrestling prince came back. However this was a risky move, it left the young man open.

Daisuke coughed and moaned while being trapped in the sleeperhold, still he would not just lay down and allow being put to sleep or give in the submission so quickly. He started to send back a couple of elbow shots back into the paragon of Britain side which caused Ryan to change his tactic.

Both men were pulled back up on their feet by Ryan, Daisuke felt a hard shove as he was pushed into the ring ropes, turning at the last second very swiftly so that his back bounced off against the ring ropes instead of his front.

The wrestling prince came back towards his opponent, who was now bending infront of Daisuke. Dai could anticipate what was coming and he tried to counter, as he came back towards Ryan he tried to do a small leap and attempt to catch Ryans head under his arm and go for a surprise running DDT so smack his opponents head down against the ring canvas.

Ryan didn't usually leave things to luck in the squared circle, he was a man who was focused and relied on tried and true moves. For a man who's entrance and attire was highly artistic, Mr Knight preferred to keep his actual moves simple for the most part. And most importantly, tried to keep his eyes on the enemy at all time. Ryan trusted John to watch his back, the key in tag teaming was trust your partner.

But one thing the paragon of Britain shouldn't have done was trust luck, luck in a wrestling match. More so a tag match, too many variables that were going on. Daisuke had thus far proven himself persistent in making things as difficult as possible for Ryan, and here was where it was going to pay off for the wrestling prince.

The momentum from Daisuke bouncing off the ropes assisted the man in his move, which spiked Ryan down hard. The running DDT was something that Mr Knight hadn't anticipated, and thus was caught off guard. When the paragon of Britain was hit with it, all he could manage was a sudden gasp. Which was then followed by a groan of pain as he clutched his noggin, the move had knocked the wind right out of his sails. John saw it and winced at the sight, but knew that Ryan was just down. Not beaten, not yet at least.

Daisuke wasn't going to go down without a fight, he saw how his sister kept up with her opponent earlier on and would hate it if HE was the reason they lost the match. Still, he wanted to keep up and show that the siblings could form a decent enough tag team, even though he was facing the more established wrestler, Ryan.

After being whipped in the ring ropes, Daisuke countered by nailing his opponents head into the ring canvas in a running DDT. The ring shook a bit from that impact letting out a loud thud sound when Ryan's head smacked against the ring mats, Daisuke wasted no time at all as he pushed Ryan onto his back before hooking his leg up and going for the pinfall

Ryan was thinking that at the end of this match he'd probably need an ice pack, which was something he was no stranger to. The paragon of Britain was the leader of the UK Elite, the one who made sure to try and take the worst punishment and go up against the stronger of the opposing team. So that his allies could prosper and come to his aid when it was most needed, just like at the matches against the Ishii siblings and the Valkyries. Every second Ryan was in the squared circle was a second that John would catch his breath and be in better shape long term.

Daisuke followed through with his DDT with a pin attempt, fair dues. Odds are Ryan would have attempted something along those lines also, Mr Knight let out a small groan as his leg was hooked. Feeling the weight of the wrestling prince down him, the ref got down to start counting.

"One! Two!"

Ryan's left arm went up as soon as the number two was heard, the DDT hurt. But it was going to take far more to tire out the paragon of Britain, the pounding of the mat close to him had also helped rile him back to awareness. Mr Knight wasn't going to let this battle end yet, there was still more to be done. But for now he just hoped to catch his breath and come up with a plan to whatever Daisuke might try next.

Daisuke pressed his weight down towards Ryan, making sure it would take some effort on the paragon of Britain's part to kick out of the pin. Ryan let out a small groan before his left arm was forced up off the ring canvas to break the pin.

"Damnit, that was a three count for sure referee, what the hell?" Daisuke complained to the referee as he shifted onto his knees next to Ryan and holding up three fingers at the referee to put emphasis in his point.

Still, every second he complained to the referee was time given to Ryan to recover so Daisuke quickly shifted his focus to his opponent. He grabbed his opponents shoulder and pulled him back up on his feet along with him, grabbing him by his collar and shoulder, Daisuke would try to whip Ryan into the corner of the ring, his sisters corner to try and get some double team going on.

The pain in Ryan's head started to subside now, a lesser man would have taken much longer in doing so. But Mr Knight followed a strict training regiment, and was blessed with a body that was arguably in tip top shape. Being the sort of person that he was Ryan made it a priority to have that at the height of his list, couldn't call himself the paragon of Britain if he didn't have the image of it.

Daisuke complaining to the ref was only giving more time for Ryan to get his bearings, he could certainly hear him well enough. Mr Knight was shaking his head slightly in response to it. But it seemed the wrestling prince wasn't done with Ryan just yet, as the man grabbed hold of the paragon of Britain. Pulling him to a vertical position, with Ryan letting out a grunt in response to it.

Mr Knight didn't like where this was going, he was going into the side of the ring that belonged to the enemy. Something that Ryan had instructed John to constantly watch out for, this wasn't good. But the paragon of Britain had been in the process of quickly getting his bearings, so he was forced to go along with the whip to the corner. Where Ami would most likely be.

"Shit! Boss!" John shouted from his corner, leaning forward for all the good it was going to do. Lucy watched silently while gritting her teeth, but Mr Knight knew there was only one thing he could try and do at this point. And that was try and fight, so with that in mind once Ryan turned his back to the turnbuckles Mr Knight would suddenly swing out his right arm. In the hopes of at least trying to clonk Ami in the side of the head, Ryan had to mount some kind of defence here. Even if it was desperate swinging.
