Welcome to Gaia! ::

In the split second where he'd seen Pantera's punch coming, Jimmy had planned it all out. With the slight forward momentum of Pantera's body, along with the lack of balance from the miss, and the angle this would put his opponent's body into, his kick should have done more damage. With one of his arms outstretched, he shouldn't have had the dexterity to stop a kick in mid-air. But somehow, his plan had failed. Pantera had 'catched' his kick.

As Pantera throws Jimmy's leg back down to pick him up for a some sort of spinebuster, The Avatar attempts to apply a headlock at the same time, hoping to reverse the move into a DDT. If it works, the spinning spinebuster should end poorly for both of them.

Jimmy lays there on the mat for a moment, staring at nothing but stars as the blowback from his DDT only adds to the pain in his midsection.He wouldn't be surprised if he's just cracked a few of his own ribs... Or at the very least bruised them. His vision comes back to him, and he begins to make sense of the ref's voice, in time to catch him reaching the count of five. The double KO count.

Panicking against logic and reason, Jimmy tries to prop himself back up, but the attempt brings nothing but pain. As the ref's count reaches eight, Jimmy desperately rolls over to Pantera, and drapes his arm over the masked man's chest, going for a pin-fall.

Jimmy rolls off of Pantera, and stares at the sky for a moment, before pounding the mat with both fists. If only he'd covered Pantera right off the bat... If only his ribs didn't hurt so much... But there's no time for that now.

He uses the ropes to get back to his feet, and quickly goes for a running dropkick against his opponent. Where he aims it will depend entirely on where Pantera is in relation to the mat.

Having planted Pantera into the corner, Jimmy gets right back to his feet, and using the middle rope as a springboard, attempts to hit his opponent in the face with a high knee!

Jimmy's knee hits nothing but air... He's able to avoid crashing into the turnbuckle, but at a heavy price, as he lands with the top rope right between his legs. The pain shoots right through his body, causing him to double over, as he tries to fall off the ropes as fast as he can so that his opponent can't take advantage of this scenario.

Feeling himself grabbed by the arms, Jimmy puts his legs in a figure four position, catching the top and middle rope between them. As much as he wants to get away from these damned ropes, it's a lot more important for him to avoid getting put in the most ironic crucifix ever.

Clever was right... But Pantera has no idea HOW clever. When you are grabbing the ropes during a submission move... Like a backbreaker rack... it counts as a broken submission. By simply holding on, Jimmy has caused the referee to come over and begin the five count!

The torture rack is applied, but due to Pantera's height, compared with Jimmy's height and the ropes' height, it's at too poor of an angle to do a lot of damage... It still hurts like hell, which causes Jimmy's legs to unravel at the four count, but they're still touching the top rope when the referee hits the five count! While Jimmy is still in the air for Pantera's finisher, the referee calls for the disqualification!
