Dave Blake vs Manuel Toneda

Last Man Standing

Dave Blake:

VS.

Manuel Toneda:

The crowd was brimming with excitement as Dave's entrance music began to play. The opening riffs to Fall Out Boy's "Immortals" began to play, with Dave running out into the arena eagerly giving high fives to fans as he made a rush to the ring. Diving forward, his lean yet thin figure slid under the ropes before popping to his feet once more. After what felt like another eternity, Dave was back in the ring. His opponent would be making his debut, so Dave had no idea what to expect from this newcomer.

Didn't matter though. Dave was gonna give it his all, and make a good first impression for the new guy. As his music died down, he waited in his corner for his new opponent.

After the following events unfolded Manuel's music began playing. He began walking down the ramp already staring dead-on to his opponent. As he entered the ring he began to stretch as this was his first singles male match of his carer.

"I won't go easy on you fam!" Said Manuel anxiously waiting for the bell to ring.

As he finished this comment he took to his corner.

*The bell rings!

Dave came out swinging, dashing from side to side to keep himself moving. Appearing next to Manuel, he launched rapid series of punches into the young man's side. After the punches landed, Dave brought his foot up to drive it into Manuel's chest.

Manuel felt the impact knowing that Dave meant business.

"So much for sportsmanship...." Said Manuel to himself.

Manuel held on to Dave's foot knowing that this was an opening he had to take regardless of the pain he would feel grabbing it with all he could muster up at the moment.

"Now it's my turn" Painfully said Manuel to Dave.

Manuel took a deep breath as he held onto the leg he held from Dave's kick sweeping the other leg knocking Dave over.
Manuel wanted to show that he also meant business. After Manuel swept Dave off his feet Manuel began to put him in a Sharpshooter.

Dave grunted when Manuel grabbed hold of his foot, before sweeping him off his feet to crash to the mat. As soon as he landed he felt his opponent make a grab for his legs, trying to transition into a sharpshooter.

'Oh he is good.' Dave thought, before using his free leg to give Manuel a good kick to the chest to free himself. Once he was free, he flipped to his feet, bouncing from one foot to the other as he waited for Manuel to make the first move. He gave the young man a teasing wink just to throw him off.

"Uhhh....?" Said Manuel as he was confused by the gesture.

Ignoring this gesture seconds later Manuel became furious that the match was not going the way he wanted it to be.

"I can't lose this." Thought Manuel to himself.

As he said this he yelled as he ran all the way to Dave knocking him down with a powerful wrestling takedown. The ring made a noise by the impact it had caused. Manuel went for the pin!

"One!" Said the referee

Dave got all of the wind knocked out of him when Manuel knocked him down. When he felt his leg being pulled up for the cover, Dave raised an eyebrow.

'Pinning already?' he thought, before throwing his shoulder up after the one count. Once the two were separated, Dave pulled Manuel to his feet.

"Nice try handsome," he began before throwing him into the ropes. Running after him, he met Manuel on the rebound with a clothesline, "but I'm not that fragile to be beaten THAT easily."

Manuel felt the clothesline but it was just to fast for him to lose a match.
As Manuel's back hit the ground from the clothesline he went along with the momentum and rolled back onto his feet.

And before anything else could happen Manuel left a devastating kick to Dave's hip, shortly later attempting to pound him with a powerbomb!

With a cry of pain, Dave recoiled slightly, feeling Manuel's leg slam into his hip, before the young man lifted him up to slam him back to the mat in a powerbomb. Dave's back arched and he gritted his teeth.
