Jamie should have expected retaliation, but to say he was caught off guard would be putting it lightly. His body violently recoiled from the chop, and before he could wind up a retaliatory one of his own, he received a jab for his troubles. Alternating, the cowboy's head bounced back from the punch before his chest would cave in from the chop, and before he knew what was what, a forearm bounced off his collarbone sending him to the mat.
Rolling onto his side, Jamie's hazel eyes stared wide, dazed and confused, at Dallas as she slapped the ring apron in fury.

The crowd was sent into a true FRENZY! Hiro hadn't shown any sort of real aggression since returning to the ring at Wrestlemania, and to finally prove he still had it in him was enough to send a crowd that was starting to loose believe in him into a full blown idolization. The Ethnic Enigma let out a battle cry looking over at Rosario, reassuring him -- "You want this match over quickly?! You've got it!" Hiro stomped his way to Jamie's body, but walked past it, leaning over the ropes to be within clear and close ear shot of Dallas Cruz. "I know what you did, I know what you're going to do here, and I forgive you -- for being such a b***h." The fans in the front row nearby let out an "oooooh" as Hiro called the Voodoo Queen such a derogatory word -- but his anguish was definitely taking over as his usual respectful and collected self was unraveling quickly.

Dallas looked up at Hiro, shaking the cards in her hand at him as if to use them as some kind of ward to keep the wrestler at bay. Meanwhile, Jamie was beginning to stir and had already rolled over onto his hands and knees.

The Ethnic Enigma shook his head and turned from Dallas, his eyes focused back on the Snake he was tasked with exterminating tonight if he wanted to have a safer existence. It was almost as if the powers that be out there in the universe sent Jamie Bader here tonight as a test for Hiro -- one that would determine if he truly could overcome Blackjack when the time would come. Hiro tried to kick Jamie in the midsection as he worked his way up, hoping to continue to keep him down for at least a few more moments so Hiro could formulate a way to take advantage of his early display of violence. There weren't too many ideas he had right now, but he could at least keep doing small bits of damage whole he figured it out.

Jamie audibly groaned in pain as the boot connected with his ribs. Clutching as his abdomen, he rolled to his opposite side. Meanwhile, Dallas had repositioned herself to the other side of the ring. Occasional yells could be heard from her as she tried to get Jamie's head back in the game.

Hiro finally came up with an idea to follow up, the best way he could put this match to bed right now. The Ethnic Enigma followed Jamie rolling to his side, and tried to shove him with his foot back to on to his belly, stepping on his back for a second before reaching down and trying to rope both arms around his waist, deadlifting him from the ground as the fans cheered the display of strength big time. It was a slow process despite Jamie's weight, it still wasn't easy to deadlift a man from the ground in any sort of way. Hiro, if successful in his lifting, would then try to hoist Jamie's body upward and slam him right back down to the ground with his finisher -- the Gut Wrench Powerbomb!

Either Dallas's ruckus was working, or Hiro was counting his chickens early. No sooner had he plucked Jamie from the mat did the smaller man scramble like a wet cat and push off of the other's hips to free himself. Immediately he dropped to the mat and slithered out of the ring to take his place back at Dallas's side. He told Hiro he did not come back to lose, and as such, he would not allow himself to be rat-trapped so soon.

Rosario watched the action as it was ramping up. There was a lot of history, but we're they even getting paid for all of this? We're the butts in the seats? As the Three bickered and teased each other Rosario looked around the arena and could see that yes, there was in fact butts in seats.
Then he saw Jamie roll to the outside, sneaking his way out of a bad time. Rosario stretched his back, it was time to work.
Well, except. He remembered he heard something that Hiro said. He had to confront it, walking up to the competitor.
"You CAN'T use foul language. NEVER call a lady a b***h! Do it again and your out of here okay man. Have some Respect!"

Hiro would roll his eyes as Rosario reprimanded him, choosing to just ignore the ref rather blatantly and give chase after Rosario. He closed in on him quickly, but ended up with both he and Dallas within a yard of him giving him a stare. Bader was as slimy as he was cunning, that's why people called him a snake -- and in this moment, Hiro knew going after Jamie while he stood there with Dallas was probably a terrible play. Instead, he began to rip the tape off of his wrists and prepared to go complete bare-knuckle, challenging Jamie to start the brawl as it looked like these two were going to cause a scene right here at ringside!

Jamie was happy to stand beside Dallas as he got her council. When Hiro approached, he pivoted so that he was just behind her. The cowboy wrestler still needed a hot minute to catch his bearings. Even as his opponent began to taunt and beckon him to engage in bare-knuckle brawling, it was not Jamie that stepped up to the plate, but Dallas.
Standing ten toes down in front of Hiro, Dallas was quick to remind him of his place. Flawlessly drawing the Tower card from the deck, she all but stuck the card in Hiro's face, a constant harbinger of bad things to come. Some sooner rather than later. All this time, Jamie had already wormed his way around the other side of the ring and was sprinting towards the duo.
The crowd screamed in hopes of getting Hiro's attention, but the only attention he would be receiving was two boots to the side of his head as Jamie blasted him with a running dropkick from the blind side.

Rosario saw both competitors out on ring side. They were talking, scheming and best of all fighting. BUT it was his duty to make sure things stayed in the ring for a safe and fair experience. Rosario went to raise his hands up to begin the count when
“Ouccch”
He looked down looking at his leg. The pain from the burns seem to sprout from nothing depending on how often he moved. Rosario dropped to a knee to look at his leg, no longer keeping his eyes on the action. Was it time to put more ointment on it?

Dallas' parlor tricks only angered Hiro as the already volatile emotions of the Ethnic Enigma were put through the ringer -- he was getting dangerously close to knocking her cards out of her hand, but Jamie Bader and his sneaky, sneaky ways took big time advantage of the situation. He came running around the ring, catching the completely distracted Hiro with a dropkick to the back that sent him stumbling forward, and his momentum was abruptly stopped as the Voodoo Queen tripped him and he slammed face first into the ground. The fans booed the dirty distractions of Black Magik, many fans in the front row hurling insults at both as they hoped their reactions would will the Ethnic Enigma right back into things.

It was hard to tell what Jamie was saying as he got back to his feet, but judging by his expression, it probably was not something that was safe for television. If Hiro wanted to get nasty, he would get nasty too. Dallas simply held her hands up in the air and moved out of the way to signify to the referee, and the audience, that she had done nothing wrong. Meanwhile Jamie was busy unwrapping the tape from his own left hand.
"Get your sorry a** up--" The cowboy barked as he grabbed the back of Hiro's head to help him up. Not to his feet, no, just enough so that as soon as the legs were underneath him, Jamie sent Hiro flying backward into the guard rail at ringside. Now he would have a nice set up to deliver some freshly revealed bare knuckle punches to his opponent's dome.

Jamie's aggressiveness was spelling disaster for Hiro at Sacrifice -- Dallas had no-sold her involvement, throwing up her hands so Rosario wouldn't throw her out and Jamie was playing the nice-guy if only for a moment as he talked some s**t and lifted Hiro back up by the hair. Before the Ethnic Enigma could get his legs beneath him entirely he was thrown into the rail, fans backing up except for the select few who took a moment to pat their Hiro on the shoulders. Jamie was finally following Hiro's example with his now naked hand and began to reem into him with a series of slow, methodical punches to the head which, after three well placed ones caused Hiro to drop down to the ground, slumped back-first against the barricade with his eyes held tightly shut due to the amount of room-spinning he was dealing with from the repeat head shots.

As soon as Hiro began to falter, Jamie switched up his offense. In place of sharp fists, he simply poot his boot on Hiro's collarbone and pressed it in, hoping to make this uncomfortable bout somehow more unpleasant. Meanwhile, the cowboy's arms shot into the air, flashing the crowd nearby a double peace sign.
"Don't act like ya didn't miss me!"
