No DQ match: Ivan Komorov vs. Henry Clayton

Ivan's continuation of cheap shots was keep bringing him good results. Unfortunatelly he was still down on the ground and wasn't able to follow up with anything usefull. Cronos was still up on the other hand, but it appeared his knee was too weak for him to charge at Ivan. Instead he went toward the chair and after he picked it up, Ivan instinctivly raised arms to cover his face.

But to his surprise, no impact was done and after few second he heard some clanking on the other side of the ring. Henry was really honorable, but Ivan was convinced that this is a wrong way to approach the match. No matter how fair is his opponent, he will never feel bad about cheating or using dirty tricks. So, Ivan slowly got up on his feet and start walking toward Cronos. He raised arms for another test of strength - it's true his back hurted a little, but damaged knee should be little worse.

After getting rid of the chair, Cronos was getting back up on his feet. Ivan too was preparing to attack again, but instead of going straight for a new weapon he wanted to lock up with him. Cronos knew better than to lock up with the likes of him considering what has happened so far, but it couldn't be avoided.

Cronos turned to face Ivan and made his way over. Though instead of coming at him cautiously, Cronos built up speed and charged at Ivan for a clothesline. Sure his knee hurt, but a few cheap shots wouldn't injure him so easily.

Ivan was sure that Cronos will lock up with him, so it's needles to say that clothesline caught him completely off guard. While Henry's move was completely fine even in regular matches, he simply didn't expect him to do it in such circumstances. There wasn't any serious consequences, but Ivan was down on floor again. He crawled toward safety fence and used it to get back on his feet.

He started to look around if there are any items he could grab. Only nearby thing was water bottle from on of the fans. Ivan took it and of course get some negative replies from crowd for doing that. He would stand carefully in front of Cronos, so he wouldn't be able to see exactly what was going on just listened for his footsteps. Ivan would turn around and splash the water right into opponents face once he would get close enough. Hopefully this will distract him enough to leave an opening to Ivan, where he'd try to lift him up and slam him in fence with spine buster.

Cronos had to bring himself to a stop before continuing the fight. He took the brute down and had to turn this match in his favor. He had a few chair shots worth of damage to make up for.

Turning around, Cronos made his way back to Ivan and was prepared to knock this guy down a peg or two. The next thing he knew Ivan threw something in his face, but luckily it was just water. He took a step back and used his hand to quickly wipe the water away from his eyes. Suddenly he felt his feet leaving the floor and was soon brought down on his back. He let a short yell before trying to roll to one side and get off his back.

The water splash worked exactly as planned. While it didn't do any direct damage to Cronos, it was enough of distraction for Russian to lift his opponent and slam him back down. Ivan was already up and waiting while Henry was still getting up - he had an advantage and he didn't plan to let it go.

Russian giant grabed Henry and lead him toward ring post - this will leave a mark if he'll manage to perform it. Ivan would grab opponent's wrist once they'd get closer to the ring post and tried to irish whip him in it. Regardless of him suceeding or not, Ivan would follow by sliding back into the ring.

After being slammed on his back, Ivan was picked up by Ivan and lead to one of the turnbuckles. Ivan grabbed his wrist and tried to whip him at the turnbuckle, but instead of running straight into the pole Cronos used an arm to take some of the damage instead.

Cronos shook his arm out after the impact and looked around for Ivan. He was already in the ring and waiting for him. He watched Ivan and entered the ring by walking up the steel steps and stepping through the ropes.

Ivan's Irish whip didn't reach the effect he desired, but hey - damage is damage, even if it's small amount of pain inflicted. Ivan was still happy with outcome of their fight outside of the ring. He was sure he managed to weaken Cronos a little, which will hopefully open him easier way to securing the victory.

And Ivan had another advantage right now - higher ground. There is no way that the Russian would allow Henry easy entrance to ring. He will do everything he can to make it as hard as he can. He followed Henry and moved closer to the corner where he tried to enter. Ivan already prepared his arm for a strike and finally swinged toward Cronos's face while he was between the ropes.

It didn't surprise Cronos that Ivan went after him as soon as he stepped through the ropes. The only thing he could do was endure the hit and push on into the ring. Stepping foot inside the ring, Cronos threw some punches of his own at Ivan's head to get back at him.

More than Ivan beating Cronos, whole action ended with exchange of punches. But still, Ivan didn't mind being on the receiving end as long as his hits dealt more damage. And there was definitely high chance that this will happen, judging that Russian giant was the one with higher ground. He swung and hit Cronos and get a punch back. This wasn't enough to force Ivan moving away though. And Henry was still trapped in corner and Ivan wanted to use this to his advantage.

Ivan moved his arms and used them to grab opponents neck after he straightened up. He started choking him and tried to force him into a corner. He'd even move own body really close to Cronos's to give him less space to maneuver.

Cronos made it into the ring, but only after an exchange of punches between him and Ivan. Ivan grabbed him by the throat and tried to push him back. Cronos stood strong where he was and fought back. Acting fast, Cronos tried to turn a bit to his side and began throwing elbows into Ivan's chest as he tried to force him off before losing too much air.
