Salem had summoned a significant amount of strength trying to tip the scales back in his favor following Jarel's frightful submission, but it hadn't been enough to free himself. Though he could now breathe a little better, The Dragon was dangerous even from his back and it wouldn't be long before the veteran's grip returned. With some wind in his lungs this time, Salem once again planted his feet and heaved Jarel up into the air, this time trying to drive his spine down onto the nearest turnbuckle!

Jarel is lifted up again, an impressive feat considering he's 328 pounds, and his bac is slammed against the turnbuckle. Jarred once again, still he holds onto his choke, this time attempting to tighten his legs around Salem's head while technically on the man's shoulders

Salem's legs were buckling under the weight of his opponent, bearing down on his neck and shoulders like a human collar. The fans gasped and applauded the rookie's endurance, cheering Croft on as the young man used the top turnbuckle as a pedestal to prevent being dragged down to the mat. Feeling the blood pressure dramatically swell up in his face, Salem had just seconds left before he'd likely succumb to the darkness touching at the edges of his vision...but with a final feat of strength, the M.W. Deuce would hoist Jarel up once more before bouncing his back off the top rope for a spin-around sit-out powerbomb!

now at last Salem gets the result he wants. As Jarel is hoisted once against and planted with a spinout powerbomb, the jolt to his spine forces him to release his foe and leaves him flat on his back. after several jarring slams, the Dragon remains down for the moment, trying to regain himself for a few moments before relaunching his attack

Salem had damn near blacked out from the intensity of Jarel's submission maneuver, but after no small amount of effort the Freshman Phenom had managed to plant Jarel's spine into the canvas and free himself. Though the rookie didn't have the stamina to stand just yet, the fortuitous position they'd landed in allowed Croft to cover Jarel by laying his ankles overtop The Dragon's shoulders!

one...two...t...
Jarel rolls his shoulder off the mat, gaining a burst of cheers from the crowd. The Dragon was far from done, and as he pushed himself up onto his elbow, he's already contemplating how to regain his momentum

With a shrug of his shoulder, Jarel turned what would've been a title victory for Salem into a two-and-a-half second reprieve from what was sure to be a grueling battle ahead. The shoulder-up was enough to roll the lethargic rookie over onto his stomach, still dazed and depleted from nearly losing consciousness earlier. While the fans cheered for the two recovering warriors, Salem struggled on his stomach towards the ropes with hopes of getting up to his feet first!

already on his side, Jarel pushes himself up to a seat position. From here, he pushes himself up to a knee, turning to look for Salem. Upon seeing him, the Dragon rises back to his full height and advances. The fight is on again, as he quickly attempts to catch the rising Salem with a knee to the gut

Salem was still winded as he crawled up the ropes like they were rungs of a ladder, finally finding his footing before he about-faced into a knee aimed for his gut! Knocking the breath back out of him, the M.W. Deuce used the top rope as a crutch to keep himself up as he held his abdomen with his spare hand.

Jarel reaches out for Salem's arm and attempts to irish whip the younger man across the ring. On the rebound, he'd attempt to launch Salem into the air with a back body drop

Salem knew better than to let Jarel jerk him away from the ropes, but the rookie didn't have the energy to fend the heavyweight off. Instead, Salem could only go with the flow as he was heaved across the ring and off the ropes on the other side. His usual elusiveness failing him momentarily, the prodigious punk was sent soaring into the canvas by the Back Body Drop!
...And now, the symptoms of war could be seen leaking through Salem's skin. Spine succumbing to the stress of having hefted Jarel so desperately earlier, pain onset from the impact of his limp body into the mat, the Charismatic Calamity flailed like a fish for just a second before seizing up like he'd been bent with a bowstring. Eyes wide, nostrils flaring, the M.W. Deuce bit his tongue to stifle a yelp while deafened by a ringing in his ears.

several flash bulbs went off as Salem was launched in the air, and now fade out as Jarel turns back to the young man. His target is obvious and he doesn't debate long at all on how to go after it. Going to sit Salem up, he attempts to place his knee in Salem's spine while pulling his arms back, in the good old bow and arrow stretch submission hold (think that's the name)

This time, Salem couldn't hold back the scream as his spine was stretched with the bow-and-arrow submission, Jarel prying back the brave rookie's arms to add torque to the hold. With the heavyweight behind him, Salem lacked any leverage over The Dragon, and had to act fast if his body were to be worth a damn for the rest of this fight. The crowd began to clap, creating a rhythm that inspired Salem up to his feet. Step by step, the lad struggled to reach the ropes, hoping to find some traction if he could only get close enough...!

Salem is struggling to his feet. the crowd is behind him as they want this match to continue. Jarel realizes momentum is swinging away and has to put a stop to it. he attempts to transition his hold, removing his knee and trying to catch Salem in a full nelson. However, he's not attempting to make the young man submit, as if this transition happens, the Dragon will attempt to lift Salem up and plant him with a full nelson slam

Salem was motivated by the crowd and his challenger to stay on his feet, and the daredevil was eager to oblige...oh, he was so close! The ropes were just steps away, if he could only reach them Salem may have a chance at countering Jarel's full-nelson! Instead, he was hoisted up and slammed down hard against the mat, gasping and flailing like a rag doll on impact!
