Aftershock 09 said:This match is scheduled for one fall!
Introducing first, weighing in at 285 pounds; from Chicago, Illinois Derek Jacobs!
The crowd gives Jacobs more of a reaction than his debut last week as some boos can be heard. Jacobs taunts the crowd and intimidates a few younger fans in the front with his threatening size.
Jacobs came up short last week in his debut as he suffered the pinfall. Lets see if that was a fluke or if that is the true Derek Jacobs.
No worries. Look at this man. He is huge, the sky is the limit.
And his opponent, weighing in at 175 pounds; from Paris, France The Masked Gentleman!
The crowd doesnt react much towards the debuting Masked Gentleman as he strolls out with a top hat upon his head and a slick white cane by his side.
Here is The Masked Gentleman and he is looking rather sharp here in his debut.
Sharp? This guy is a goof. A mask atop of a mask? I hope Jacobs destroys him.
The referee signals for the bell as the debuting Masked Gentleman stands calmly in his corner and the big Derek Jacobs pulls on the ropes before making his way to the center of the ring. The Masked Gentleman approaches and Jacobs gives the Gent a nice face wash, showing his clear advantage in strength. However Jacobs didnt account for the Gent standing up for himself as he fires off a fury of knife edge chops that send the big man towering back. The Gent now takes to the knees of Jacobs. The big man falls to his knees and the Gentleman bounces off the ropes and nails a beautiful clothesline. A quick cover from the Gentleman. 1 2
Only a two count as Jacobs gets his shoulder up.
It seems like Derek Jacobs underestimated just how much a fighter the Gent is. Almost a quick finish there.
Jacobs has the skills, but the brain may be lacking.
The Gent stays on the offensive as he locks in a sleeper hold to the kneeling Jacobs. Jacobs is fading as he tries grabbing onto the long hair of the Masked Gentleman, garnering a warning from the referee. Jacobs is groggy and he attempts one last escape as he yanks at the hair of his opponent and manages to flip him over as he claims innocence of hair pulling. Jacobs staggers to his feet and shoves the much smaller Gentleman into the corner and rounds off a series of four elbows to the head of the debuting star. Jacobs shouts out at the crowd as they shower him with some boos.
There it is. There is the intensity Derek Jacobs needs to show. This guy is huge and he just needs to overpower his opponent.
Jacobs grabs the Masked Gentleman by the head and lifts him up onto his shoulders and drops him face first on the corner with snake eyes. Jacobs bounces off the ropes and follows up with a nasty boot to the Gentleman. Gentleman is down as Jacobs still wants to inflict pain as he lifts his opponent up above his head and hits a military press slam. Jacobs now goes for a cover. 1 2 The Gentleman gets his shoulder up as Jacobs glares at the official.
Jacobs locks in a chokehold on his opponent as the referee begins the five count with Jacobs releasing at four. Jacobs stands up runs his fingers through his greasy hair before dropping an elbow down atop his opponent. Jacobs brings The Gentlemen back to his feet and goes for a suplex as he holds his opponent in the air.
Look at that strength! This man is a powerhouse.
Jacobs is showing off his strength as The Gent counters with a fury of knee strikes to the head forcing Jacobs to loosen the suplex and the Gent landing back on the mat.
Maybe a little too much showing off, what a counter by The Masked Gentleman! Using those quick legs for good use.
Jacobs is woozy as The Gent nails the big man with an elbow to the back of the head and follows up with a throat thrust as he bounced off the ropes. Jacobs staggers back into the ropes as the Gent heads to the apron and springboards in hitting a beautiful round house kick. The move sends Jacobs to one knee and the Gent has the crowd behind him. The Gent takes it off the ropes and flips at and nails an amazing dragonrana on the kneeling Jacobs. The crowd eats it up as the Masked Gentleman heads to the top rope. Jacobs gets to his feet and the Masked Gentleman flies for the guillotine leg drop, but Jacobs ducks and the Gent hits the mat.
That could have been the end right there for Jacobs.
Maybe he does have some brains after all.
Jacobs staggers over and grabs the Gentleman and goes for a t-bone suplex, but on the follow through the Gent lands on his feet. Jacobs turns around and is nailed by a slap from the Gentleman followed by a kick to the midsection. The Gentleman runs back and nails a wicked running curb stomp to the back of the head of Jacobs, who crashes face first to the mat. The Gent makes the quick cover, shooting the half. 1 2 3!
What a finisher! That thing was wicked from the Masked Gentleman. An impressive debut from the mysterious Masked Gentleman from France.
Even I have to applaud that. You could break a mans face off with that move.
Meltdown 78 said:Smith wrenches and pulls the Gent around on the mat. Gent kicks around but cant turn the massive weight of Smith who is crushing him with all the intensity and anger that he can muster. Gent just about lays a stray foot on the bottom rope but it gets knocked off! Rush has appeared from out of nowhere and knocked Gents foot off the ropes while Smith moves Gent away from the ropes! The ref just misses it but Gent is kicking more violently and just about grazes the rope. The ref has to make Smith break the hold, he tries to pry open his grip before using a five count, one, two three four.....Smith just about breaks the choke and begins to pound on the Gent. The ref drags him away to a far corner. Gent gets to his feet using the ropes and as he looks to engage Smith once more, Rush grabs his feet and causes him to stumble.
Copeland: I knew it! Rush couldnt keep out of this match!
Cohen: Hes doing nothing wrong!
Copeland: Are you kidding me? Are you actually having a laugh?
Smith goes to hit Final Judgement but Gent recovers from the stumble with remarkable composure and floats over, the DDT in one smooth and solid motion, Gent covers, 1.....2....Smith kicks out! Gent goes outside of the ropes, climbs the turnbuckle and waits while Smith gets up. As he slowly does, Smith crawls into his path, Gent jumps and lands onto Smiths shoulders. Smith catches him and Gent cant get the rotation, Smith tries to power him up for a powerbomb but Gent turns him inside out and lands the dragonrana! 1....2.....Smith powers out again!
Copeland: Again, this is brilliant offense by Gent! First the nearfall of the DDT and then a superb dragonrana! This is a brilliant performance by the Masked Gentleman.
Cohen: He has both Smith and Rush to face, he has got no chance!
Copeland: This is his chance! He has to take it!
Gent is feeling all the momentum in his favor, he backs off as he sees a stunned Smith crawling to his feet. Gent sprints off the ropes and hits the other side and hits the curb stomp! Gent goes for a cover but Rush pulls him out of the ring! The ref rings the bell while Rush lifts the Gent up and drops him with a clubbing strike across his chest! Rush picks the exhausted Gent up and holds him effortlessly in the Torture Rack! Gent screams and Rush yells in delight. Sam Smith slides out of the ring as Rush drops Gent and hits Nightfall on the ringside mats. The Masked Gentleman lies crushed by this brutal double team attack.
Cohen: What a brilliant and brutal attack by Rush and Sam Smith!
Copeland: Gent is left with nothing to show for what was a brave and feisty performance!
Sam Smith and Rush walk backwards up the ramp as they observe the mess of the man that they have left before them and the EMT's who tend to him.
Ladies and Gentlemen, your winner by disqualification, Le Gentleman Masque!
