An Hour in the Cage!


Continues...

When last we left off... 6-309; 315 matches

A flashback... So at 31 minutes and 53 seconds, it was now 12-8. Lauren still
hadn't gotten back up to her feet, so the referee counted again. "One." "Two."
I was leaning up against the turn buckle post. "Three." "Four." Lauren was
attempting to stand up. "Five." "Six." She was still moving. "Seven." "Eight."
I was at least getting my air back. "Nine." "Ten." And at 32 minutes and 54
seconds it was now 12-9. I still needed more rest. So I stood and watched the
ref count her out again. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10. Just like that at
33:18 the score was 12-10.

We soon needed a new ref after I accidently crashed the ref into the bars
after Lauen pulled me into a small-package. There was nobody to count. Later
it was revealed that she had me pinned for a 116 count. Mick Hopper was our
new ref. When he finally arrived, I rolled Lauren over and pulled her tights.
1-2-3! At the 36 minute and 37 second mark it turned into 12-11. Lauren then
took charge and put me into a bridge pin. 1-2-3! Lauren raised her hand. But
the ref informed her that her shoulders were down and mine were up, so the
point went to me.

12-12 tied; at 36 minutes and 59 seconds. I quickly got her foot tangled in
between the ropes. The ref started counting. "One!" "Two!" "Three!" "Four!"
"Five!" She couldn't get it untangled. "SIX!" "Seven!" "Eight!" "Nine!" "Ten!"
13-12 with me in the lead at 37 minutes and 43 seconds. She was still stuck.
So he started counting again. "One!" "Two!" Lauren was relentless trying to
get unstuck. "Three!" Four!" "Five!" She was getting close. "Six!" "Seven!"
Getting closer. "Eight!" "Nine!" "Ten!" 14-12 at 38 minutes and 14 seconds,
and I was actually winning.

Suddenly, Lauren got free. The look in her eyes and face told me she meant
business. She chopped me and chopped me and kept chopping me. Then she kicked
me in the stomach. Next she gave me a DDT. Next she pinned me. 1-2-3! Uh oh!
Now it was 14-13 at the 40 minute and 36 second mark. She scooped me up and
gave me a powerbomb. 1-2-3! 14-14 at the 41 minute and 17 second mark.

Next, she dropped an elbow on me and then a leg-drop. Next was a single knee
drop. She then pinned me. 1-2-3! At the 42 minute and 58 second mark the score
became 15-14. Lauren then applied an STF on me. I quickly submitted. 16-14 at
the 43 minute and 19 second mark. She threw me into the cage. Then she punched
me. Blood began to fall. She then gave me a tombstone piledriver. She covered
me. 1-2-3! 17-14 at the 44 minute and 46 second mark. I couldn't get up. So,
she pinned me again. 1-2-3!

At the 44 minute and 59 second mark the score card turned to 18-14. I was
still out. So she placed her foot on top of my chest. 1-2-3! And so at the 45
minute and 10 second mark, the points were now 19-14. Lauren decided to put me
in a chin lock. The ref checked the hold, then he raised my arm up. It of
course went down. Then the ref did it again. It went down. Then the ref did it
one more time. And so at 45 minutes and 43 seconds, the board switched to
20-14. I guess I was out of luck. She applied a cross face on me. I submitted.
(46 min./38 sec.; 21-14.)

She body slammed me. She applied a Texas clover leaf. I tapped out. (47
min./47 sec. 22-14.) She had the referee count me out. (48 min./9 sec. 23-14.)
And then the ref counted me out again. (48 min./23 sec.; 24-14.) She ran
towards the rope and leg dropped me. (48 min./4 sec; 25-14.) She then dragged
me to a corner of the ring. She climed the ropes and the cage bars and hit me
with a shooting star press. Now she pinned me. 1-2-3! (49 min./2 sec.; 26-14.)
She pinned me again. (49 min./8 sec.; 27-14.) She now applied a claw hold on
me. 1-2-3! (49 min./ 26 sec.; 28-14.) She then executed a German suplex on me.
1-2-3! (50 min./6 sec.; 29-14.)

I laid there, knowing it was over. But I also knew I absolutely tried my best.
She pinned me again. (50 min./56 sec.; 30-14.) Suddenly, Lauren looked at me,
directly into my eyes. "Buzz, are you okay? Have you had enough?" she asked. I
searched for my voice. "Lauren...Lauren, this isn't finished yet! I'm not
stopping," I said. The referee looked at the both of us. Lauren gave a thumbs
up sign to me. I returned the thumbs up sign to her. She waited for me to
return to my feet. It was at the 52 minute and 48 second mark at this point in
the match. We locked up. Lauren got a takedown on me. Then she got some
armdrags on me. Lauren lifted me up and slammed me into the corner. Next she
gave me a springboard mistle drop-kick. Lauren gave me a German suplex. 1-2-3!

(56 min./58 sec.; 31-14.) I slowly got back to my feet. (57:18) Lauren jumped
at me and pushed me in the corner getting in a few right hands. (57:47) Lauren
then got a tilt-a-whirl backbreaker on me. She pinned me. 1-2-3! (58 min./48
sec.; 32-14.) I stood up again. Lauren hit me with a clothesline. She pinned
me again. 1-2-3! (59 min./07 sec.; 33-14.) Time was running out. I knew that.
We both knew that. Next thing I knew she hit me with a dropkick. (59:18)
Lauren appled an anklelock. I wanted to hold on. (59:27) I tried to fight it.
But I couldn't. I signaled my submission. (59 min./49 sec.; 34-14.) From the
anklelock she got me into a pin. 1-2-3! (59 min./52 sec.; 35-14.) I returned
to my feet just in time for the bell to ring. (1:00:00)

"You're winner, and the Iron Sibling at a score of thirty-five to fourteen, at
one hour, the fabulous and beautiful, Lauren Haywood!" announced the ring
announcer. I was exhausted. But so was she. We've now had 316 matches. She's
won 310 of those matches and I've only won 6 of them.
