Ryan "The Batman" Hughes vs Draven

[ryanhughes]

Decimation comes back from a commercial break containing an advert hyping up the upcoming PPV. The camera pans the excited crowd, and then cuts to fans with different signs such as "BATMAN’S GONNA GET YOU" and "THE GUY BEHIND ME CANT SEE"

-[JOHNNY]-
Well, we have had a great night so far, and we have two matches left. Now, its two experienced men going head to head, in the form of Ryan Hughes and Draven.

The crowd goes into frenzy as Use Somebody by Kings of Leon blares out of the speakers and the spotlights start flying and then pause at the top of the ramp.

I was walking around, always looking down and all I see
Painted faces fill the places I can’t reach
I know that I can use somebody,
I know that I can use somebody,

The pyros go off at the top of the rampway, and the lights suddenly flash on, causing the excited fans to scream and shout in anticipation. Ryan comes out, with his bat by his side, to a chorus of "BATMAN, BATMAN...." from the fans as the titantron shows Ryan using his trademark Strikeout finisher on several opponents from other federations and recent footage of Ryan performing the Mancunian Mash Up and other big moves on opponents from past federations including his epic cage match with Raj Kim Po in GHW, plus extracts from his promo, “HES COMING...”.

-[BELLE]-
This match is scheduled for one fall. On his way to the ring, from Manchester, England, standing at 6'5 and weighing in at 241lbs, Ryan "The Batman" Hughes!

-[JOHNNY]-
Well it’s a refreshed Ryan Hughes that is before us. He was given the week off last week to recoup by James O Connell after the injury he suffered in the submission match with N C Banks.

-[DAVE]-
That was despicable what he did to Ryan two weeks ago, he wanted to tear Ryan’s arm off!


Ryan goes down one side of the ramp way hi-5ing the fans then goes back to hi-5 the other side. He notices a kid who has a bat on the front row; Ryan gets it from him, and raises the bat in to the air with authority, then gives it back to the smiling child. He enters the ring and gets his vest off and lobs it to the fans.

Someone like you and all you know and how you speak
Countless lovers, undercover on the street
I know that I can use somebody,
I know that I can use somebody,
SOMEONE LIKE YOU
SOMEONE LIKE YOU

He then jumps to the turnbuckle and points to all the fans, then raises his bat in the air. As he jumps down, the music dies down but you can still hear the fans shouting “BATMAN BATMAN” as he turns to face the entrance eagerly, waiting for Draven to come out to the ring so the match can start.

[glow=green,2,300]As Ryan stands in the ring the lights in the arena go out.Blackout by Novadriver starts to play over the pa system.As this is all happening you can see the words "My Salvation be your Damnation." These words are replaced by the image of Draven coming off the top of the ladder with the chair in hand. The lights start to pulsate and with the first pulse of light you can see Draven on the top of the ramp. the crowd starts going nuts at the sight of Draven.[/glow]

Belle:And his opponent from parts unknown standing six feet tall and tipping the scales at two hundred and twenty pounds. Draven!!!!

[glow=green,2,300]Draven stands at the top of the ramp way and just looks into the ring as if in a trance.Draven is in his traditional gear and black trench.After a few more seconds Draven starts to make his way to the ring.[/glow]

Dave:Listen to this place it's going nuts.

Johnny:What do you expect? After all the fans know what Draven is willing to do to win a match.Not that I care much for the fans but Draven is a highly entertaining person to see in the ring.

Dave:Your right Draven for all his weirdness can flat out get it done in the ring. But tonight will be a true test for him. Ryan is no slouch in the ring.

Johnny:Yea his not to bad I guess. That and the fact that he had last week off wile Draven had that tornado tag match.

[glow=green,2,300]As Draven makes his way down to the ring you notice a visual illusion thanks to the lights.At the lights pulsate it looks like Draven is not moving but just appearing closer and closer to the ring. You can see some of the fans in the crowd are in Draven's face paint and are holding up signs that say "Draven and When Shadows Fall none are safe!!"

Draven slides into the ring then pushes him self into a corner. Draven leans back and stars at Ryan with a blank look on his face be for grabbing the top rope and pulling himself up to a vertical base. Draven removes his trench and hands it to the ring tec. as the ref calls for the bell.[/glow]

Both men lock up for the first time. As Ryan begins to gain the upper hand in the epic struggle, Draven resorts to very unusual tactics as he raises his foot up into the air before dropping it and driving his heel straight into Ryan’s toe. The Batman immediately winces in agony and loosens his grip allowing Draven to slip out of the grapple and capitalize with a flesh wrenching knife edge chop as he turns his hand slightly to the side before slapping the bare chest behemoth with his palm. The vile chop causes Ryan to cough before he begins battling himself for oxygen. While Ryan is gasping for air, Draven rushes across the ring before bouncing off the ropes. Ryan takes a deep breath before lifting his leg up into the air causing the incoming opponent to run face first into his boot. Draven falls as his head awkwardly bounces off the canvas when he drops.

As Draven brings his hands up to his face and tends to it, checking all his facial body parts are still in working order after the massive big boot, Ryan bends over before grabbing him around both sides of his head with both hands. Ryan slowly lifts Draven to his feet before showing the entire arena why he is truly a real physical specimen. Ryan heaves Draven toward the nearby corner, tossing Draven with ease, like he passing around a football. As Draven’s back bangs up against the turnbuckle padding, Ryan rages forward like a bull before crouching down and grabbing both sides of the ropes. Ryan lunges forward with his shoulder before viciously driving his shoulder blade straight into Draven’s gut. The brutal shoulder thrust is quickly duplicated as Ryan further inflicts serious harm to the winded fighter. Draven cringes in pain before his mouth gapes and saliva sputters out. As Draven’s knees seem to turn to jelly, Ryan lifts up before planting his feet and bringing both his fists in front of his eyes. The Batman suddenly unleashes a barrage of fist of fury type blows, one after the other straight across the champion’s belly. Before Ryan can break something, which undoubtedly was his intentions, the referee slips in between the two competitors, desperately attempting to break up the beat down, which he eventually does, putting distance between the two men.

-[JOHNNY]-
Typical show of the traditional English brawling by Ryan Hughes here in the early going. Can Draven turn the tide here before he takes to much damage?

-[DAVE]-
Well from what I have seen from Draven so far, I dont think I can see the reason behind all the hype, he has practically been bombarded from the offset! But Ryan seems to be showing his drawing power, did you see how the fans reacted when he hit that barrage of punches?

As the referee moves away, Ryan goes to punch Draven, but he blocks Ryan off, and headbutts him, making his eyes water uncontrollably. Ryan staggers back, covering his face with his hands, and Draven forces him to the ropes and irish whips him. As Ryan returns, Draven grabs his legs and lifts him in to the air. He then drops Ryan and his neck bounces off the ropes, causing him to go down on to the ring apron, coughing and spluttering. Draven tries to knock Ryan off the ring apron as he gets to a vertical base, but Ryan puts his head in between the top and middle rope, and rams Draven in the stomach, making him double over. Ryan gets back in the ring and lifts Draven up for a powerbomb. But as Draven is sat on Ryan's shoulders, he starts punching Ryan in the forehead to stun him. Draven then falls back and lands a hurricarana, sending Ryan flat on his back. Draven goes on to the nearest turnbuckle, looking for a splash on Ryan. But as he jumps, Ryan puts his knees up, making Draven spring off him in to a world of pain.

Ryan starts to stir before Draven, who is still curled up holding his stomach. So he sits Draven up, goes on one knee behind him, grabs both his arms and pulls him back, causing his shoulder muscles to stretch beyond their usual limits. Draven face is contorted with pain and frustration, as Ryan slowly pulls the arms further to increase the pressure on the hold, and increase the agony and suffering for Draven. Dravens face is dripping with even more sweat from struggling with this hold, as the beads of sweat trickle down his body like a form of water torture. The crowd start to chant in encouragement, with a chant of "COME ON DRAVEN" but Draven cant hear this clearly because of Ryan's heavy breathing due to his nose possibly being broken. Draven gathers up all the strength left in him and tries to push his arms towards him, as soon as he stops pushing, the pressure on his arms is relieved slightly. So Draven grabs the neck of Ryan and makes him flip forward in a snapmare like move. Draven hits a dropkick on the bottom of Ryans spine, making his body contort even more due to the extra pain.

Draven hooks Ryan’s arm over his head in what looks like an attempt at a suplex. He bends his knees a little as he prepares to lift his opponent off his feet. At the last moment Ryan manages to hook his leg behind Draven’s, effectively blocking any potential maneuver from the smaller man. Ryan tightens his arm around Draven’s neck as he rolls onto his back; the momentum of this movement carries his opponent to the mat as well. Ryan makes sure that both of his opponents shoulders are touching the canvas as the ref begins the count. He manages to make it to two and a half before Draven kicks out of the pinning predicament forcing the referee to stop the count. Ryan quickly gets to his feet as Draven takes his time getting back to his feet allowing himself time to recuperate. Ryan, sensing a rare opportunity hanging in the air hits a rolling enziguri on Draven as he was on his knees at that point. As he drives his boot through the back of his opponents skull, he follows through forcing his face directly into the dusty canvas. Ryan then hooks the arm against his own and his body. The back of Draven’s head is resting against the back of Ryan’s left knee as he manoeuvres his other knee just above Draven’s head driving his shin against his opponent’s throat, hooking his feet together. Once he has this hold fully locked in, Ryan allows himself to lay back on the canvas, making sure that his shoulders aren’t touching at the same time. Ryan lying back causes Draven to be lifted off the mat a little; this adds to the suffocating affect that a head scissors has. A psychotic smile takes over Ryan’s face as he stares directly into his opponent’s eyes as he gasps for air. He is struggling to breathe, as the hold takes its toll on his opponent’s body, slowly sucking the life from his limbs. The fans attempt to help Draven by cheering for him, hoping that they can help him escape his current predicament, as they can sense his chances of winning this match up fading away. Just as Ryan feels he’s done enough to put his opponent away, The referee begins counting and gets to two before he sits forward and breaks his count. Ryan then takes the initiative and rolls the hold so that it is Draven’s shoulders touching the mat. Again the ref gets to two and a half before Draven drives his shoulders off the canvas.

-[JOHNNY]-
Great start to the match from Ryan, but it does seem a little strange that Ryan is continually going for submission moves like this on we are witnessing.

-[DAVE]-
Well, there are two possible explanations, Joseph. One is he may have been brainwashed by blood sucking aliens who will kill us all. Or Ryan wants to switch his tactic to surprise Draven, and catch him off guard. My bet is the aliens.
