Sleeper Surrender Knock-out Match!
Undefeated streaks are almost unheard of in BG East. Every matchup is carefully set to either make or break you so that after every time you "make" yourself a bit, someone will have a chance to "break" you next. That's why it's extraordinary that a man, after ten long, sweaty matches, still stands undefeated. Of course, it all makes sense when you realize this is no ordinary man. This is Kelly King! Strong build, years of experience, and a neverending drive to dominate made him ascend all the way to become the monarch of BGE's rings. King's trail of destruction and broken bodies remind the rest of the roster that they are only peasants.
We find Kelly in the middle of the ring, showcasing his mighty biceps for all of his subjects to see. Enter Leon Cyrus. Leon returned to Switzerland after succumbing to Kayden Keller. No one knew if he would be seen again, but after some convincing, he was given the rare opportunity of a second chance. What BGE's management "forgot" to tell him, however, was who would be his opponent. Upon finding he would be meeting Mr. King, the right move for the Swiss would have been to take the next scheduled flight back to Zurich. But no. Leon either thought he had what was needed to surprise Kelly (and everyone) with the biggest upset in BG East history or thought he had enough in him to survive him. It would certainly be risky, but after all, the fastest way to the top could be to take down whoever occupies the thrown.
Leon hasn't even placed both feet inside the ring when Kelly's tattoed arm is already wrapped around his throat. The Swiss goes down fast with only a few seconds to complain about the lack of fair play. Just as Cyrus hits the floor, Kelly continues to show off the gargantuan biceps that just sent a man to lalaland. "If you don't mind, I'll go back to warming up." Leon gets up but is quickly trapped in another rear-naked choke. He holds on longer this time, knowing you can't win a match if you can't stay awake to fight, but his now bigger body is inevitably put back into a dormant state. Now down 2-0, Leon is taken to the corner for an excruciating camel clutch that brings the first submission. "Suck it, Swiss!"
Two knockouts and one submission by the 5-minute mark let us know King is in destruction mode. But when Leon replies, "Swiss rules!" he makes Kelly take it up a notch and switch from destruction to annihilation. A double arm stretch has Leon submitting and retracting his claims. Kelly quickly follows with a figure-4 leglock and then front and reverse chinlock variation. Ironically, it is Kelly who runs like a Swiss watch and, in a little more than 10-minutes, has submitted or knocked out Leon close to 10 times.
Right in the middle of this crusade, Leon realizes it's do-or-die time. He draws upon the cruelest move wrestling has known: the low blow! Leon has learned his lesson and goes right for the throat to cut the big man's oxygen supply. It takes some time, a lot of time, but after several chokehold variations that include a dragon sleeper that leaves the American exposed and vulnerable, the King finally goes down!
Taking a page from Kelly's playbook, follow-up sleepers have Kelly going down and down again! Could this be it? Were repeated episodes of hypoxia what was needed to dethrone this King? Leon could have the key to rise to the top of the BGE roster, but will he be able to execute? By the end of this encounter, you will fear one of these men could end up with permanent brain damage as he is left hanging in the ring as a message to any other wrestler that ever plans to challenge him. Bring the oxygen tank!
