Ding Ding Ding.The bell rang in an instant and the match officially began. The fighters, as expected, stole glances from themselves at the very beginning, trying to detect what the opponent had in mind.
Max Fury was rather careful than urged to attack first because he knew that Jerry Blaze was very smart. Not just smart, he was quick and attentive... It would take a lot of effort before one could launch an attack against him in the beginning of a match.
Only a few wrestlers were able to attack him at the beginning... If he wouldn't dodge, he would defend the strike... He was pretty good at moves like that.
Taking Max Fury by surprise, Jerry placed his left hand on his waist and stretched the other toward him, requesting a handshake.
This action also caused the fans to react, but it wasn't more than the usual cheers and shouts. Even if one had said a word, it would be quite difficult for the competitors to hear it due to the mix of murmurs and noises.
Max Fury flinched.
'He is gonna fool me...'
It was clear. If Max Fury dares to step forward to accept the handshake, Jerry Blaze would make use of that opportunity to strike. For someone who had watched countless wrestling matches while growing up and even at this stage, events like this couldn't be used against them.
Max Fury had a plan.
He glared at Jerry Blaze who happened smiling at him, trying to convince him to come take the handshake...
'Did he think I would be that stupid?! He is so foolish to think that way.'
Max Fury's eyes burned in distaste. Considering every move of his plan, he hesitated and bit and approached Jerry Blaze...
He wasn't actually approaching his challenger to make that handshake, well, he had a plan.
While Max Fury walked towards him, the smile on his face widened. If one looked at him, they would be able to detect the thoughts in his cruel mind.
Right inside, he was glad that Max Fury was falling for his trap...
Upon reaching about two meters away from Jerry, Max Fury stopped. Then he glimpsed his stretched right hand and forced a friendly smile like he really wanted to begin the match with respect like his opponent requested.
Although he knew Jerry Blaze was only setting a trap, that's why he would also be turning his plans against him.
With the blink of an eye, Max Fury grabbed tightly on Jerry Blaze's right arm, changed course, and pulled it against his back.
This was his plan... He had heard that Jerry Blaze sustained a slight injury in his right arm, well, Max Fury would be taking advantage of it...
Jerry Blaze groaned in pain at that instant, but it never sounded like he felt so much of it. Like many had said, it was just a slight injury that naturally took a week or two to heal. If it was very bad, even Jerry Blaze wouldn't be able to guarantee his match today.
However, this advantage was still useful.
Max Fury began an Arm Lock against Jerry's right hand, causing him more pain. He stood still behind him without a hint of trembling, making sure that Jerry didn't manage to break the submission.
However, it was just a matter of time... Jerry Blaze wasn't Rowan Pierce after all. He possessed incredible strength, so having him locked for a long time wouldn't be possible.
Max Fury knew that...
After several trials to set himself free, Jerry succeeded, and when he did, Max Fury's control ended at that point.
Raged, Jerry Blaze launched a clothesline against Max Fury, causing him to fall to the mat. As if that wasn't enough, while Max Fury was down at that moment, he ran to the ropes, bounced back, and delivered a Leg Drop around Max Fury's neck.
Max Fury felt a lot of pain that made him clutch his neck at that moment, but it was just as if his opponent wouldn't give him breathing space.
Literally, he was just about to do what he wished he had done successfully in the previous match: finish Max Fury immediately and win the damned match!
Max Fury was pulled up immediately, forced to stand on his feet to receive... A Stunner!
Jerry Blaze finisher again...
That thought flew into his mind at that instant, giving him no choice but to accept it. After all, he wanted to end it right here, right now.
To take back his title.
To take back his pride.
He held Max Fury with his arms on his neck and quickly changed course to deliver the stunner...
Well, Max Fury wasn't that weak and disgusting to let him do all this. Jerry had done enough, and it was high time to defend himself...
Basically to prevent regrets.
Max Fury pushed Jerry Blaze quickly before he could deliver the stunner. Thanks to his incredible reaction speed, he always activated his Attributes anytime he was in the ring as it was undoubtedly important.
Jerry Blaze felt the impact of that push, however, someone with great stamina wouldn't be sent to fall. He quickly charged back at Max after regaining his stance, but he never anticipated what was coming next.
"Oh oh oh!!! A Superkick! What a strike!" A commentator shouted.
Max Fury made Jerry Blaze pay for the unforgiving Leg Drop he had launched against him. He made sure he applied a good Attack Power force on it, and the effect made him satisfied.
Jerry Blaze fell on the mat for the first time in the match, making the match more interesting. Max Fury wasted no time before pinning him for a count, but Jerry Blaze was unfortunately kicked out.
"One. Two... Ohhhh!!!"
Arnold never had a look of frustration or shock on his face after all. He knew who Jerry Blaze was... He was always capable of kicking out of a Superkick
He also doubted that a double Superkick could even take him down due to his great Endurance level.
This is why he had considered making the right move... The very finishing move.
[Finishers: Neckbuster, Sorrowful Kiss, RKO.]
He then made a decision after a single glance.

Max Fury heaved a sigh, stood up, and pulled Jerry Blaze up, ready to end it immediately just like the latter had wanted to.
Right now, RKO would be useful!
