Meeting with old friend

Not only that hit with elbow created enough space to Ralph so he can escape, it gave him an opening for an irish whip as well. But he didn't expect what followed. Haru bounced from the ropes and since Ralph was runing after him, he didn't have much time to react and avoid his clothesline.

Both guys hit eachother with clothesline, which cause both of them to fall down on the mat. Ralph start rolling away before anyone could get an upper hand over the opponent. Being back to the middle of the ring, Ralph got on one knee first and proceed to got back up completly.

Haru isn't so quick to pop up right after their double clothesline, he's still not fully recovered from the elbow shot to the head. He sits up to find that Ralph is already back up to his knee and starting to stand up. What's it gonna take to keep this guy down?

Haru wipes sweat from his brow and growls and pushes himself back to his feet. Now's he's determined to get the drop on him and knock him down for good. Haru throws his back into the ropes and launches himself at Ralph, expanding his arms and legs and intending to catch him with any body part so he can body slam him with his full weight as force.

Ralph got back up, but so did Haru. He runed toward the opponent when he bounced from the ropes, but Haru was the one who jumped first. Ralph stoped and freezed when he saw biger guy out of two flying toward him. Their chest colided, which made Ralph lose his balance and knocked him down on his back.

Laying on his back with Haru on top of him, Ralph grabed Haru body and try to knock him off his body. But this didn't really wokred well, because of his awkward position and Haru being quite heavy. So at the end, Ralph end up with lifting his arms to protect his face from any potential incoming punches.

Haru's surprise body slam worked like a charm, his chest collided with Ralph and his body weight did the rest taking him to the ground. As soon as they had recovered from the initial shock, Ralph played it smart and covered up with his guard to limit Haru's ability to exploit the position.

But that didn't matter, Haru wasnt aiming for a ground and pound anyway. Haru grabbed at Ralph's forearm guard and viciously tugged to the side, trying to flip Ralph onto his chest. Haru's weight would hopefully keep him pinned down till he could work his next move.

Ralph was rolling away, trying to gain some distance between both wrestlers, but Haru quickly grabed his forarm guard and prevent him from escaping. All thhe distance he gained was quickly eliminated when Haru pulled him back. Ralph was rolled on his chest with Haru pining him down.

Being traped under opponent weight, Ralph began swinging with his arms, aiming to land some elbow shots to the sides of Haru body. His intention was to keep hiting him untill Haru would let him go and allow him to get some distance.

Haru finally managed to flip Ralph over onto his chest and now he had full access to him. His opponent tried to throw some elbows back to hurt him, and they did nail him in the sides a few times, but Haru wasn't gonna let that stop him. He flattened out on top of Ralph as he slid an arm beneath his neck, while the other arm slipped beneath Ralph's right armpit and back up to grip onto the other wrist.

Haru grunted and started to pull back on his hold, a nice chokehold that also tied up one of your opponents arms. With a good grip on Ralph, Haru rolled them back over so Ralph was on top of him, and then brought his legs up to get him in a bodyscissors to make sure he wasn't going anywhere. With everything set in place, Haru began to tighten the hold and squeeze to try to choke Ralph out.

Ralph was keep landing elbows to opponent body, but Haru's power and determination withstand all his attempts. Seeing that elbowing didn't do much difference, he stoped with attacks and start squirming to make Haru work a bit harder. He was moving his body left and right, but Haru eventualy managed to wrap arms all around his neck and cought Ralph in nasty chokehold.

Rolling them around didn't help either - it even made situation worse for ralph, since Haru added body scissors in the mix. But Ralph had still one free arm. He moved arm around a little and began punching Haru in the face, hoping to weaking his hold a little.

Haru squeezed hard as he could once he had gotten the chokehold in, this was a great opportunity to either majorly weaken Ralph or even put him out for the win. He could feel Ralph struggling to get that other arm free and Haru grins, it's not going anywhere. But he's not grinning for long, Ralph manages to squirrel his other arm around into a position that he could punch Haru in the face from.

The first hit blasts him right in the nose, making him groan, growl, and shake out his head. The second hit gets him in the forehead, and after that Haru takes action. He shakes Ralph's head side to side and lifts one of his legs in the bodyscissors up and kicks back down in Ralph's gut. He also turns his head to the side, so that Ralph's wild punches hit the side rather than the front of his fac.e

Ralph felt that his punches did some damage to Haru. But although he managed to punch head couple of times, Ralph was still traped in submission hold. Direct attacks weren't too helpfull and Ralph will has to search different ways to escape the hold. Continuing with punching his head would only result in Ralph burning more eneregy.

And so he did that. After landing few punches, Ralph stoped and decided to try something else. When Haru lifted up his legs, Ralph proceeded and wrap his free arm around it. He couldn't stop getting hit in the gut, but at least he weaken the impact a little and end up with still having arm around Haru's leg. Right after geting hit, Ralph start tuging Haru's leg away before he could start with body scissors again.

Haru's leg gets grabbed before he can slam it down on Ralph again, smart move. But that also ties up both of Ralphs arms for the time being. Haru couldn't do a bodyscissors with just one leg, but he could still inflict some more hurt. He raised his leg and began to slam it down over and over into Ralph's gut to force more air out of him.

In the meantime Haru applied the choke as hard as ever, taking even breaths as he focused the majority of his energy into it. Ralph had good stamina, but even the best wrestlers could only fight and stay awake so long when under a sleeperhold.
