Hard to tell which way hurts worse, but as the slap connects, and as Drako's arm goes to his chest. He takes a moment to get some air in, takes a deep breath, then decides its time to switch things since that hurt like a b***h and who knows who's chest will end up red first. The Soaring Dragon quickly looks to catch Salem with a stiff right to the side of the head

The crowd oohed with intrigue as Drako took things up a notch, giving up on the game to go at the side of Salem's head with a stiff fist! Salem, expecting a shot to the chest, staggered a step to the side and paused for a split second in shock before snapping his attention back to the Young Dragon with a different kind of fire in his eyes. Almost growling, Salem reared a hand back and heaved the hardest slap he could across Drako's face, giving him the receipt with a tip!

Drako is caught with a slap across the face that rings throughout the arena. His head snaps to the side and he takes a couple of steps sideways. He moves his jaw a bit, making sure his teeth are still there, He's good, they're still there, and it's time to really kick things up as he turns back and aims to kick Salem in the gut to double him over, then drop down to the mat and aim a quick uppercut to his jaw

Salem wasn't about to back away now, the games were through and now the real fight was beginning. Drako shot a foot out for Salem's gut, the reflexive impulse to hunch forward seizing him as Drako followed up with a low level uppercut! Snapping his head back a bit, Salem ran his tongue across his teeth as he felt the bull coming out of him, looking to charge and throw a stomp of his own at the side of Drako's head while he was still low to the ground, before he could re-establish his vertical base!

Drako needed to get an opening here, and maybe, just maybe, he'd found it. He was just a step too slow getting back up this time, and Salem looked intent on crushing his skull with a stomp. Drako attempts to catch his foot, however, aiming to spring up and into an ankle lock submission hold

Salem had the size and strength, but Drako's speed and quickness caught him by surprise, too early for "The Copperhead" to take advantage of it! Drako snatched the ankle, leaving Salem with just one leg to stand on as he struggled to balance while being grappled by the Young Dragon!

Drako loves a submission victory, and he'd love nothing more than to make Salem tap here, even this early. He attempts to really wrench on the ankle to add pressure while the crowd seems to be split evenly in their cheers for the two. Could they see a submission victory here?

"LET'S GO, DRAKO!"
"SAY-LEM CROFT!"
"LET'S GO, DRAKO!"
"SAY-LEM CROFT!"
The crowd chants in rhythm, thousands of people showing their support for these two slick beasts of the ring, watching on as Drako wrenched at Salem's ankle while he balanced on one foot, trying to withstand the pain!
Drako knew how to manipulate joints, and in other contexts Salem was equally skilled with joints, but legs were a pride of his and as long as the "Nap Town Nightmare" had one to stand on, he had a fighting chance! Jumping on his good foot, Salem would twist and swing his leg to kick Drako firmly in the side of the skull, looking to bring the dragon down to the mat with the snake!

Drako was certain he had this well in hand. He would have gotten a certain satisfaction with a submission victory. Unfortunately, Salem isn't worn down enough, and manages to clock Drako right in the side of the head, forcing him to release the hold as he drops to the mat, at least slightly dazed at this point

The crowd cheered loudly, if only for the match to continue as both men hit the mat hard! Salem was rattled a bit as he started making for the ropes, shaking his aching leg out as he military crawled to the nearest bottom rope! Salem knew he had to get up fast, Drako had already started putting an emphasis on his submission game, something he only dabbled in by comparison! He'd have to recover quickly and find an opening to hit him hard if he wanted to stay alive in this match for long!

Drako rolls to the other side, not out of any sense of purpose but that kick rattled him. He reaches the ropes and reaches up, slowly pulling himself up as well

Salem gets himself up to a vertical base, leaning towards the side of the ring as he tried to relieve pressure on the aching leg by gripping the top rope. Staring down Drako, he didn't see his friend anymore, he saw an enemy.
In all honesty, Salem needed that ankle lock, it made him remember that Drako could make him not just lose but tap out, give up on this match and his dreams of being a WWFG World Champion.
A pin was too simple for Drako, clearly, and Salem was coming into this friendly, not wanting to start off on a distasteful note. But all he wanted Drako to taste was blood in his mouth, courtesy of some high-impact offense! Daring Drako to come at him, Salem shouted at his opponent.
"I thought I was wrestling a Damone! What's that weak s**t?!" he spat, trying to make the Young Dragon more emotional and reckless!

Not like Drako needs more motivation to bring it. Shaking his head to clear it, he hears the taunt, just as he was preparing to charge in anyway, aiming to clothesline Salem over the top rope

if not for that kick, Drako might have been more level headed and thought before charging. Too little too late now, as Salem ducks and back drops him over the rope. Drako manages to grab the rope to keep from hitting the floor, but does indeed hit the apron instead. He lands almost seated on the apron, holding onto the top rope and attempting to pull himself up again

Salem waited as Drako rushed in, scouting the clothesline and ducking with precision to pop up and flip Drako over his head and to the apron, looking to rattle his opponent's bones as well as his nerves with a Back Body Drop!
