The crowd were on the feet, and who could blame them? This was a match that would go down in history.
A loud crash and crunch came from behind Nuke as Drako crashed hard onto the floor.
He turned his body and looked over to see his opponent on the floor. Taking his time to get to his feet, he wandered over to inspect the damage he had caused.

Drako reaches up and grabs the cell wall to pull himself off the floor. It likely won't be his first or only rough landing tonight but laying on the floor wouldn't help him either

With Drako getting up, Nuke's ruthless instinct kicks in. He rushes forward, aiming a hard kick to the abdomen, looking to get Drako as grounded as possible.

the kick hits hard, leaving Drako leaning slightly doubled over and leaning against the cell wall. That one might have knocked the wind out of him slightly

Slow. Direct. Methodical.
Those were the words that Nuke was working with tonight.
And, although Drako had taken the initiative, Nuke was now in control of the tempo and pace of the match up.
Reaching down to pull Damone up by his hair, Fusion began to look around and see where the next phase of punishment would come from.
There.
If Drako was pulled up, Nuke would aim to Irish Whip him into the steel steps!

slow and methodical is the name of the game, but there are moments where the smallest glimmer of opportunity comes. As Drako spots the intention to whip him to the stairs, he goes with it....but only to leap up onto the stairs and in a moment of living up to his nickname, attempts to leap back with a moonsault off the stairs to take Nuke down on the floor

Nuke threw his entire weight into that Irish Whip, and stumbled as he did so.
He got to his feet as quickly as he could, only to meet an incoming and aerial Drako!
The moonsault was beautiful as it sent Nuke crashing to the ground!

Drako rolls backwards after the moonsault, his own momentum taking him back away from where he'd taken Nuke down. He gets to his feet again, taking the moment to catch his breath from the last two shots he'd taken before he'd decided to go back to using his entire body as a weapon

The crowd were loving every moment of this match already; brutal and fast-paced.
Nuke shook his head on the ground and reached out, gripping the cell. He used it as leverage to try and start pulling himself back up.

Drako forces himself up again, spotting Nuke on the rise again. Time to return a favor, as he moves forward and attempts to meet him with a stiff kick to the abdomen as he's on the rise

Nuke may have been the stronger of the two men, Drako the more high-flying.
But, by God, that didn't stop that kick to the abdomen to cause Fusion to roll across the ground in sheer pain!

Drako realizes that he may have to slow down a bit more than normal, taking chances only when absolutely worth it. This isn't his first cell match, but it is his first in several years. Now, time to add something in.
The Soaring Dragon reaches under the ring and grabs the first weapon he sees, a steel chair. Perfect. Wielding the first weapon of the match so far, he'd look to catch Nuke getting up again with a chair shot across the back

Nuke had begun to get to his hands and knees when that chair shot ripped across his back.
"Aaaaagh!"
Arching his back in pain, the crowd let off a loud cheer - now things were getting extreme.

Drako tosses the chair into the ring, then attempts to pull Nuke up and roll him back inside as well. For the moment, the Harbinger seems to be done on the outside

These fans wanted, expected, and deserved a high caliber match to finally say goodbye to one of these two legends.
By God these two were happy to oblige.. well, at least Drako was happy to.
Nuke, on the other hand, was dragged towards is feet and rolled inside the ring. The ref checked him over quickly but couldn't do anything to help, this being the stipulation it was.
