Black Mask and Jack the Ripper had just finished their discussion while locked up in the middle of the ring. After a brief exchange of words, they disengaged before Jack got a hold of him again. He then put Black Mask on his shoulders before lifting him over his head. Jack then threw him into the mat with a vicious slam.
*For visual reference, this is basically just the same as the Razor's Edge technique.*
"Oh my goodness!!!! Jack just hit Black Mask with the Ripper's Edge!!!!! That was a violent impact on that move, but it seems to me that Black Mask almost let Jack hit him with that technique." Ted announced.
"Yeah, he didn't seem to have much resistance as Jack hit his move." Bill added. "It's a bit strange, but now he's in a tough spot as Jack is making the cover."
"1!"
"2!"
Black Mask again kicked out after a two count. He then grabbed Jack and lead him into the corner. He then lifted Jack into his back and lifted him over his as he stood on the top of the turnbuckle.
"Oh! And Black Mask appears to be returning the favor as he hits Jack the Ripper with his, Execution Drop!!!!!!!!!!"
"Again, it doesn't seem like Jack was really resisting on that move. If I didn't know any better, I'd say that these men are almost trading performing their finishing moves on each other."
"Bill there's no way. You can't tell me that these two men would take such violet moves willingly. What would be the purpose of that?"
"The purpose is, just that they thought it'd be fun. It's as simple as that Ted."
"Well, it's definitely fun for the crowd, though I doubt it'd be fun to take the kind of damage these moves dish out. That being said, this match is likely just a few seconds from being over. Since he's joined SWF, nobody has been able to kick out of his finishing move."
"1!"
"2!"
To the shock of everyone in the crowd, Jack managed to kick out of Black Mask's finishing moves. A feat that very few men in the world can say that that they've done.
"Oh my goodness! I can't believe that Jack managed to kick out and escape there. He's the first man in SWF to do so." Ted announced.
The man who was the most impressed by Jack kicking out was the man who had just slammed him into the ring, Black Mask. He was smiling and nodding his head.
"Very nice, I can count the men who have been able to kick out of that technique on one hand. Still, you have to be hurting after taking an attack like that." Black Mask said.
"Hehe, I could say the same thing to you. After all you did get hit with my Ripper's Edge." Jack replied. "I think we should finish this thing, don't you?"
"As much as I'm enjoying this fight, I agree that we should finish things."
The two had accumulated some serious damage over the course of the match, but they still stood toe to toe in the middle of the ring and exchanged a powerful barrage of punches. Black Mask then grabbed Jack and threw him to the ground. When he tried to follow up, Jack countered with a headbutt that knocked Black Mask backwards.
As Black Mask was knocked back, Jack followed up with heavy punches and pushed him back into the corner. Black Mask then grabbed Jack and threw him up and dropped him face first into the top rope.
Black Mask then used that opportunity to get Jack in position to use his finishing move again. He had his opponent over his head and dropped him to the mat again with another violent slam from his Execution Drop.
"Oh!!!! He hits him with another Execution Drop!!!! Now he attempts to cover again!!!!!!!!"
"1!"
"2!"
"3!"
Black Mask hopped up to his feet and flexed while giving out a victorious shout. "Wooo! Yeah! Now that's a fight!! That's why I do this!!!"
"With that, Black Mask has won this match and he is currently celebrating in the ring. It's a bit unusual for the usually stoic Black Mask to get so animated even in victory. I guess he's still human after all, well he's a superhuman but you know what I mean." Ted said as he announced Black Mask's victory.
"That's right, now what we just witnessed was not a technical masterpiece or anything of the sort. It was a two men fighting their hearts out and doing what they love, and what they love is competing in this squared circle. You can tell they enjoyed themselves and I think the crowd here responded to that tonight." Bill added.
Black Mask helped is defeated opponent up to his feet and raised his arm in the air as a sign of respect.
"That was an incredible match. Right here and now, I Black Mask, declare you to be the strongest opponent I've faced since I've joined this organization." Black Mask said as he shook Jack's hand. "I'll tell you this, once I win the belt you'll be my first call when it comes to a title defense. I had a lot of fun in our match, I hope we have many more matches in the future."
"I certainly wouldn't turn down a rematch with you, it was an incredibly fun fight, put a title on the line and that makes it even better. Just be careful, I don't plan on losing next time." Jack replied with a smile.
"Of course neither do I."
Black Mask came back to the locker room still amped from the energy of his fight and started slapping high fives on all his teammates as he continued his celebration.
"Yeah! Wooo! Did you guys see that? Now that was a fight!" Black Mask said.
"It's been quite a while since I've seen him smile like that. I've been worried about him since his gauntlet match." Night Queen thought. "I guess it was nothing after all."
Black Mask then came up to her and slapped her on the back. "Let's keep this going. Get out there and get us another win." He told her.
"Of course darling, you can count on me." Night Queen replied.
