Tension Tag Title Match: United Kingdom Elite(C) Vs. Sion & Daisuke Kamiya

Daisuke heard John's before noticing that the ref was taken out. She too didn't like what was just happened, and neither did Lina as she slapped the mat on her side of ropes as she feels that this turn of events might cost them. Before Daisuke could refocus on John he was already on her and taken back the forearm strike. She felt it for sure, but she looked to get back at John and would fire off one of her own.

As for Sion he remained where he was. Even if Ryan did tap out to this there was no in-ring official to score it. Lita saw the kick connect and wondered if this will be one of those times where they have to wait until the ref comes to, which it looks like it may take some time, or have another one come out for the time being.

The crowd was now in pretty much an uproar, the only thing that was missing was stuff being thrown in the ring. They were either cheering or jeering, the match was no longer a match. Now it was resembling a clusterfuck, if one could even draw an accurate description of one.

That notion was currently lost however, Ryan wasn't even aware of what had happened with regards to the ref. All that he was aware of was the major pressure that was being asserted on his lower limbs, Mr Knight was at the end of his tether it seemed. One eye fully shut and teeth gritted, Ryan then growled out and began slapping the mat with his hand rapidly. It would have counted as the end of the match, the UK Elite would have lost the titles. But the ref was out of it, it didn't count and the bell wasn't rung. After doing this Ryan realised that there was no bell ringing, he was still being held in the hold!

"ARGH! LETGO!!" Ryan sharply yelled out, his legs were still being held in this hold. And at this rate it was likely Mr Knight wasn't going to be walking for quite some time, his muscles were screaming in agony and only getting worse and worse.

Meanwhile John was battling Daisuke, this match had broken down. The artist was getting into a slugfest with the blonde woman, not something that he usually preferred. John tended to leave himself open at points in pitched back and forth battles, as evident when he took the forearm of Daisuke. Which made his head turn to Sion, he was still dealing with Ryan. The artist quickly refocused back on the blonde woman, trying to move in close and wrap his arms around her for a spinning belly to belly suplex!

Sion turned his head slightly after hearing something behind him and saw that Ryan was tapping out. After being sure of what he saw, as well as Lina's reaction to witnessing this and the fans he let go of the hold, believing to have won the match. Though about a second after that he notices that the match is still going on as he sees the referee down he looks up and holds his head for a moment, unable to believe this misfortune. Lina had pretty much the same reaction even though she knew the situation. Just the sight of Ryan tapping out made her forget about the detail of the referee getting kicked in the head for a split section as when she saw the tap out she was glad but her reaction was cut off mid-way through as she reminded herself of all that was going on.

Daisuke was still focused on John and went for a clothesline, but couldn't find its mark and in a matter of seconds later found herself take down with the spinning belly to back suplex. Lita tells Daisuke to hang in there after John finished with her for the current moment.

Ryan was pretty much out of it by this point, hell he wasn't even sure if he could feel his legs right now. Even if Sion relented on the hold Ryan still reeled from it, something was clear on his features though. Seething anger as he crawled forward, it was indeed a rather frightening sight. The normally polite and stoic Brit with a look of pure fury was chilling to be sure to the front row, or at least the ones who were able to witness it.

Meanwhile John slammed Daisuke down with his belly to belly, John had learned to put that upper body to good use. The blonde was going to feel that one, executed to the standards that the artist applied to his paintings to be sure. Not only that but it gave John the cathartic feeling that he often got from his wrestling matches, so it was a win win there.

After taking a second to admire the handiwork John quickly turned his gaze over to where Ryan and Sion were at, John quickly guessed that Ryan must have tapped. But it didn't matter, the ref was out. Sion could have broken every limb in Mr Knight's body and it still wouldn't count, but it gave John an idea.

The artist would proceed to size Sion up, and then try to move forward. And get the enemy from behind, wrap those arms around the waist of the enemy. And then lift him off his feet backwards, to slam Sion down with a classic German suplex. John was wanting to try and press this advantage, and get payback for his boss.

As John was dealing with Sion, Daiusue was recovering from the suplex John gave him a moment ago. After the move that was done to Sion, Sion would attempt to get back to his feet after a second or two on the mat. When Daisuke was able to get back to her feet she saw that John was on Sion, also that Ryan was alone. She figured Sion could hold his own with Ryan and that Ryan should have any recovery time he was currently getting to a minimum so she would quickly go for him and attempt to lock a crossface submission on him. While a different move than what Sion had on him recently it would certain add to the unpleasantness he was feeling.

On the outside, Lina and Lita were trying not to feel tense, but given how if it wasn't for the referee being kicked in the head the match could have been over and that it is still going things were getting difficult. Still their side was still keeping at it despite the unlucky timing and placement that lead to things continues.

John was one who didn't prefer to use power moves, they were more of the secondary weapon. A man John's height could tap into some power sure, but John preferred the intricate submissions holds. In them lay his path to glory, but here the artist was at least showing the training that he had learned. Mr Carnaby was the walking and talking living copy of the thinker.

Ryan was still trying to recover, but with the intense damage done to his legs earlier it was a slow going for the British man. Too slow it seemed, as Daisuke was able to recover from John's belly to belly suplex. And make her way over to start applying a crossface! To the mind of the British paragon, it was a case of out the frying pan and into the fire. Still there was life in Ryan, and even as the pressure of the hold was put on Mr Knight was trying to claw at the hands of Daisuke.

Meanwhile after that one German suplex, John decided to try and go from uno to dos. Taking a deep breath and gritting his teeth Mr Carnaby was going to try and hoist Sion up and bring him down for another one, it was a bit slower than John liked though. The match and it's length had taken the toll on the artist's body, plus Sion weighed more than either Daisuke or Lucy. However John had risen to the challenge quite well thus far, and he didn't want to try and shrink away now.

Daisuke knew Ryan was trying to break free, but she wanted to make sure that that wouldn't happen and kept up the pressure. Something had to break here either him or her, and if she could help it it would be him. Whether it be him passing out from the pain, that and/or breaking his neck in the process. While she wasn't trying to show malice she wanted the first thing the referee would see after coming to would be Ryan down and out so all that she would have to do is turn him over for an easy pin, or have him ruled unable to continue, with either resulting in the belts changing hands.

Lina kept an eye on the action, but also checked to see how the ref was doing, which she saw a couple of twitches. This appeared to be a good sign as maybe the ref could come to in time.

After another one by John, Sion would try to strike him to get free. He would fire a couple of shots John's way, and while he would feel at least on of them connect with something, it wouldn't feel like enough to break what John might do next.

The match had at this point become quite anarchy, and the crowd was riled up. Were it not for the fact that the battle was still going on they might actually start throwing things into the ring, it didn't help that there were cosplayers of the UK Elite. A pair of fangirls each dressed up as Ryan and John. And they were promptly shoved aside as Lucy came barrelling down through the crowd and right to the barricade. "R-Ryan!" she screamed out.

Mr Knight was trying in desperation to free himself from Daisuke's hold, but the match had really tolled on him. His struggles had become less and less, this time however he would not submit. In fact, Ryan was starting to seem....out of it. He wasn't vocalising his pain anymore, and it was looking as if he might become unconscious. Based off of his slowing movements and less frantic struggles, it looked like it might be it for the British paragon. A showcasing of how even the mighty Ryan Knight was indeed shown to be overcome when pushed to beyond his breaking point.

Elsewhere though John was really putting Sion in his place, sure the man was getting a few shots in. But that was nothing compared to the German slams of the master of creation, safe to say that it was one masterpiece after another. It had been ein, and then zwei. Now? John was going to try and dig down deep for this one, a deep breath and some slower movements. But this was going to be the best of the best, the third German suplex to go for drei. It was no three amigos, but rather it was the drei Freunde! This was a release version though, the better to toss the enemy away and rattle Sion good and proper.

It took a little bit longer but Daisuke felt Ryan become limp. Of course in the long run it didn't mean anything as the ref wasn't around to notice it, though she did the ref about to move and her eyes lit up. She saw the ref coming to and when she say the ref's face she motioned for her to come to her as Dai was about to turn Ryan over and cover him. Her team's fans were also encouraging the same thing as the match should have been over by now given Ryan's submission that went unnoticed not too long ago. Every second was valuable as she was focused more so on Ryan and the ref and not on the others as she felt if the ref could see the pin in time it'll be enough to get the job done.

When Lucy got to the barricade and screamed, Lita turned her attention to her. She was a bit surprised to see Lucy come all the way down there, but she wasn't about to take any chances and let Lucy become a factor. She moved a bit closer towards her, and while she did not make any threats, sudden movement, or comments she kept Lucy in her sights. For some reason if Lucy did decide to hop the rail Lita would want to prevent Lucy from getting any farther. Of course she knows Lucy is concerned about Ryan, but given what was at stake she didn't want to Lucy to become the deciding factor.

If Ryan wasn't out of it he was certainly close to that threshold, certainly unable to fight with any real effort. The young man had been put into two severely damaging submissions holds and the length of the match had taken it's toll, Ryan grunted as Daisuke turned him over to go for a pin attempt. That was the only thing he was giving right now though, it looked as if it could be all over for the tag champs......

John looked at Sion as he admired his handiwork briefly, maybe after that magnificent trio of German suplexes the guy might think twice before incurring the wrath of the master of creation in the future. He quickly turned to see what Daisuke was doing, pinning Ryan. The artist quickly had an idea, he thought about trying to interfere with the pin. But seeing what happened to Sion gave him an idea.

"Oi! Oi Ref! I'm doing a pin too, count me instead!" John yelled out at the top of his voice, as he quickly crawled over to Sion and got atop him for a pin attempt. It was a double pin attempt here, the artist felt that it would take too long in his current state to reach over and stop Daisuke. So he went for the next best thing, he was pretty sure that Daisuke wasn't the legal partner. But then again any semblance of order had been tossed out a few minutes ago.
