The Takeuchi's vs United Kingdom Elite

Daisuke didn't even know what was going around in his surroundings, all he could hear was the sound of bodies being smacked down on the ring mats not sure who is doing what to who'm but luckily whatever the distraction was, it was good for his sake as he didnt feel anymore offence from his opponent.

His sister took the fall for him in more ways than one as her threat was quickly neutralized by John, who also left the ring leaving the two legal men in. The wrestling prince got back up on his feet and looked around to see Ryan crawling away and then trying to stand back up on his feet.

" Ngh, not this time " he grunted before moving close to him as soon as Ryan got back up on his feet, Daisuke would attempt to wrap his arms around his opponents waist and then launch him up and over him to execute a belly to belly suplex to slam him down on his back, back over to the middle of the ring.

Mr Knight knew that John had taken out Ami, but not Daisuke. Which was the plan going in, always gun for the non legal partner. Or in case of being pinned the legal one, it was a strategy that the British duo had gone over again and again. But still maybe it was that planning that had worked against the UK Elite, Ryan knew he needed to get distance and regroup. After all he got hit in the head by Ami, you were gonna need to try and avoid future potential injury.

The wrestling prince however had other plans, for he took advantage of the paragon of Britain's lull in focus. John wasn't looking at Daisuke's movements, had he done then odds were the artist would have warned his partner of the attack. No such luck there.

Ryan's eyes went wide, a rare sight for the composed young man. Daisuke got him locked into a belly to belly suplex, Mr Knight was only able to go along with the move. Resulting a large slamming sound, powerhousing the British man was no easy task to be sure. Ryan had winced as the pain shot into him, resulting in some twitching from the man. As much as the UK Elite fans might not want to admit it Ryan was just got good there.

With all the chaos going inside the ring, someone had to take advantage of it and it was ultimately Daisuke who took it, using the distraction to capitalize on the legal man of team UKE whilst being the legal tagged man in his own team as well, if he could take his opponent out now- he could win it for himself and his sister.

Daisuke closed in the gap and wrapped his arm around the dazed Paragon of Britain, launching him over his body in a classic belly to belly suplex, Ryans back slammed against the ring mats while Daisuke was already on his way to get back up on his feet.

"Not so tough are you now, huh champ"he would say, wiping the sweat off his forehead before walking towards Ryan and stomping his boot down on his shoulder to weaken him before grabbing him by his arm to pull him back up on his feet.

"Get up, I'm not done with you yet" he grinned arrogantly.

Ryan was feeling the pain to be sure, he'd been given some good shots and was paying the price for it. Daisuke was persistent in his effort to expand on the opening that his Sister provided, before she was forced out by the master of creation. Which was all well and good, but the paragon of Britain was being offset by the legal partner of the enemy team.

Mr Knight grunted out as Daisuke stomped on his shoulder, now that the enemy had the advantage Ryan's opponent was displaying some arrogance here. And if there was one thing the young man loathed it was that, that sort of thing belonged before and after the battle. Never during it. In response Ryan glared daggers at Daisuke, it was a chilling stare that was enhanced by the regal features of one of Tension's tag champs.

Still perhaps Mr Knight could use this arrogance to his advantage, Daisuke was intent on propping the British paragon back to his feet. A grave mistake, considering that Ryan was a man who preferred verticality in battle. And once he got back to a high enough height Mr Knight was going to attempt to slink around Daisuke and lock his arms around his back, that shoulder was hurting. But desperation was on the side of the tag champ as he'd attempt to go for a German suplex!

Pride always has a fall, and when it falls it hurts like hell!

Daisuke was going to learn that lesson well, his usual cocky self took over when his opponent seemed down but not out. The wrestling prince talked trash down on his opponent, stomping his body and grabbing his hair to pull him up on his feet to set him up for something big to finish him off.

However he paid the prince for being arrogant and taking his time, allowing Ryan to recover and quickly slip behind him and wrapping his strong arms around his toned waist before pulling him up and over him to execute a thunderous german suplex, making a loud *THUD* sound on impact and making the prince moan out loudly in pain.

Ryan had always liked the German suplex, it was a staple of his from day one. If the enemy was right up close and dominating, then you could always try and bust this out. Taking advantage of the stout strength that the paragon of Britain possessed, Mr Knight slammed the wrestling prince to the mat with authority. Pride was a tricky thing, sure Ryan could be like that. Given his self applied name and being one half of Tension tag champs, but he always tried to keep it out the ring and just focus on the match. Anything that could be said would be done before or after, not during.

In response to the impact John jumped up in joy somewhat, clapping in response to his partner's patented reversal. "Woo! Nice one boss." he said. Whenever it looked like Mr Knight was faltering, it was always great to see that he could still go on. And if he ever did go down, then John was going to have his back. Like in that brilliant match against the Ishii siblings.

Now there were several things that the paragon of Britain could do from this, he could attempt another. But that might be risky, and give the wrestling prince a chance to counter. Instead what Mr Knight would do is simply stay in place, and try to sneak out the pin with Daisuke's shoulders right on the mat.

Daisuke got a taste of his own medicine as he was slammed down on his back, with the impact really focused on the back of his head and shoulders more than anything. As Ryan executed the german suplex and John having took care of Ami, things were looking bad for the Takeuchi siblings in this tag team bout.

Daisuke was about to roll out of the way but his opponent, being the clever man he is as the champ, quickly pinned the wrestling prince. The referee did his job as he began to count Daisuke out, since his shoulders were on the mat.

"1....................2......................"

"UGH! Not yet..." Daisuke groaned as he kicked his legs out and got his shoulders up off the mat right before the referee could slap the mat for the third time.

Mr Knight thought he had Daisuke there, if he was to be honest with his opinion. That was a sound attack, a textbook move. But evidently the wrestling prince proved able to escape and nip the pin in the bud, following this the paragon of the UK moved to the side. On his knees with his hands on his upper legs, giving a light shake of the head.

Ryan knew there was no point in bickering with the ref, would just leave the young man open for an attack. After taking a couple of deep breaths Mr Knight quickly made a decision, this exchange had taken it's toll on the young man. It was time for a withdraw.

The British paragon would plan to move to his corner, and bring in the master of creation. Given the length of the match, this would favour John more. Deferring to his knowledge of intricate submissions, useful when the enemy was worn down. Obviously Daisuke would be able to move back and catch his bearings or attempt a tag to Ami, but whatever was going to happen should be done asap. The UK Elite were rich, but time was money all the same.....

With the referee counting till two, Daisuke knew that this was now or never and he had to kick out before it was going to be registered as a second loss for their tag team statistics. With a thrust of his legs, he managed to shove Ryan off him and bring his shoulder up off the ring mats just before the count of three to keep his team still in the game.

Still, the match had taken its toll on the wrestling prince and when Ryan tagged in John, he knew he wasnt going to be able to keep up with a much fresher opponent. Daisuke shifted up on all fours, crawling towards his sister who- was also leaning on the ring ropes with her arm extended as much as it could. She was desperate to tag in otherwise John would easily out-wrestle the tired prince.

The United Kingdom Elite were like a well oiled machine for the most part, they had spent ages studying the art of tag team wrestling and looking back at their previous matches in the tag tournament. Making sure to fall back when you needed to was the most important factor, trust your partner. The British paragon had done good, now it was time to withdraw. Tactically of course.

John had been eager to rush back in, to let Mr Knight recover following that brilliant exchange versus the wrestling prince. Mr Carnaby was fresh and had pitched in, intercepting Daisuke's partner and had gotten the spark. With a slap of the hand the artist was the legal partner, John had moved to the middle of the apron as Ryan rolled under the bottom rope. And the master of creation quickly moved into the middle of the ring, to get ready for the exchange that was going to ensue. There was no point in going after the wrestling prince, seeing as how he was on the move to Ami. If he was just laying there John would have considered it, but there was no point.

Instead Mr Carnaby would bounce on his feet, shaking his wrists a little. The master of creation waited and sized up Ami, she was fresh too. Although she had been speared by John, so there was that to consider. John would get into his stance and say "Come on!" using one of his hands to make a bring it gesture as he edged close to the enemy.
