They lock up and pound on each other; Talbot backs Harry into the corner and kicks away. They continue to trade blows intensely. Talbot hits a pair of flapjacks; he tosses Balkin and hits a third flapjack. He tosses Balkin into the corner and hits a series of rapid fire clotheslines. Talbot hits an elbow to the face and Balkin goes down hard, falling through the ropes and to the floor. Jason comes after him and they take turns ramming the other off the apron. Playboy rolls into the ring to stop the count and rolls straight back out again. Talbot hits a running clothesline. They continue to brawl on the floor and re-enter at the seven count. Talbot continues to aggressively punch away in the corner; he gets a bit too overzealous and the referee has to step in and Balkin takes over via punch to the face. He tosses Jason’s shoulder into the post before playing up to the fans.
Talbot drops to the canvas and before long Balkin is mount punching him on the mat as the crowd chants along to each blow. He works a hammerlock chicken-wing on the mat. Jason tries to get up but Playboy grabs the hair to keep the advantage. He works the arm well before tossing Talbot to one side, where he rolls onto the apron. Balkin badmouths Talbot as he gets to his feet, connecting with a couple of jabs to the face. Talbot counters a third shot and capitalizes with a sunset flip, for a two count. He then turns right into a European Uppercut. Balkin gets a one off that. Balkin methodically stomps in the corner; Talbot tries to fight back and eventually begins a one-armed comeback, still feeling the effects of the hammerlock chicken-wing. He hits a trio of lariats (with the good arm) and a forearm to the back. Jason hits a splash and a bulldog. He then goes for the HypnoTwirl (FU followed up by a lionsault) and gets a two count. Balkin looks dazed and off the pace after that. He retreats to the ropes to goad the overaggressive Talbot over; it works as the referee has to pull him back and Harry snags the momentum with a running forearm. The Wham, Bam Thank-you Ma’am (Inverted Atomic Drop) finishes the match.
Your winner, Harry Balkin!
And the Playboy picks up the win here in Doncaster on his debut.
