The handsome, muscular rookie Donnie Dash has been having a rough time in his Vertex debut, but it doesn’t seem like it’s going to get any better now that he’s drawn veteran St. Louis Heel as his next opponent. He gamely gets off to a good start by putting a headlock on the heel, followed by a full nelson, and then challenges him to a test of strength, but soon enough the heel has had it with these games and sends Donnie down to the mat with an ax chop. The good news for Donnie has ended abruptly, as SLH delivers crushing boots and a few blows to his chiseled abs. The rookie gets choked in the ropes, walked on by his much larger opponent, and placed into an ab stretch with a punishing claw. The heel puts Dash’s abs to the test with some scissors, a barrage of fists, more claws, and several knees to the midsection, with Donnie unable to muster any offense. At this point he is the heel’s plaything. St Louis Heel takes great delight in stretching his muscular opponent out, giving the audience a great view of his victim’s impressive physique, and everyone is treated to watching the boy suffer and gradually weaken throughout the match. Every time he thinks he might have a chance to get back into it, SLH quickly ends those hopes, easily tossing his victim at will wherever he would like him to go. It’s a brutal squash job for the poor Donnie Dash, but for an audience it’s a thing of beauty!
