Marcus might not be fully aware of where he is. In fact his is laying prone on the table, one hand going to his head as the last several seconds had been a blur of motion and the last time he went flying this much was a month ago in training with his father. he starts to look around, his eyes glazed over but not yet moving

Taking one last breath and look at the ref, Avari composes himself. His career beginning in WWFG begins at this moment, as he opens his arms once more and stands up on the turnbuckle. He looks out at the thousands in attendance, many cheering him on and many with their hands over their eyes or on the tops of their heads.
This unexpected and last-minute match was destined to just be a mid-card match, but these two men wanted to do more than this. This was the time to put bodies on the line, to create their own legacies, to take a step out of their father's shadows.
Avari bends his knees and dives, flying through the air as the snap of phone cameras catches him mid-air. The commentators move even further away, as time seems to slow for the young Fusion. He moves his body slightly in the air, twisting and trying to come down with a flying elbow drop!

Marcus focuses mainly because there's flashing lights everywhere and wonders what the hell is happening. Unfortunately, his focus comes in too little, too late, as Avari drives the elbow home, right in Marcus' chest. Which is honestly mostly irrelevant to him as their combined weight absolutely destroys the announcer's table, dropping Marcus to the very unforgiving floor beneath it with no padding from the table because it's a table. Meanwhile the fans erupt as the sound of wood splintering rings throughout the stadium and the younger Damone is left sprawled out in the wreckage

The world seemed to stop for a moment, as Avari's body laid on top of the bigger Marcus. He only heard a high-pitched whining noise for a few seconds, before his focus came back to him.
Slowly but surely, he heard the chants from the crowd.
"Holy s**t! Holy s**t! Holy s**t!"
Groaning a little he tried to move, then noticed the ref had come outside the ring to check on both men. He pushed the ref away lightly, making his own way to his feet.
Staggering over to the ring apron. Avari rolled inside instinctively to break any count the ref may have been making.

being that he'd taken the brunt of the damage from that elbow, Marcus is nowhere near as quick to move. he's responsive enough that the referee can start the ten count
one..... two.... three....
Marcus slowly begins to stir in the wreckage of the table, rolling to the side as he realizes he has to get back in the ring
four.... five...

Avari rolls in to the ring, slowly getting to his feet to a chorus of cheers from the crowd.
He stands in the center of the squared circle and admires the atmosphere around him, and then turns and watches his opponent crawl from the wreckage they just made.
It was actually a little disheartening that his opponent was still moving after a moment like that, but he fully expected it from a Damone.

six..... seven...
the count continues as Marcus crawls out of the wreckage of the table, dragging himself towards the ring. He's got a limited time to make it back into the ring. and as he is within arms length of the ring, he starts to push himself up on unsteady legs.
eight... nine...
pushing himself, Marcus dives in under the bottom rope and lays on the mat inside of the ring, just barely beating the count

Avari couldn't help but just stand there and admire the fight and resolve of Marcus Damone, taking a move like that, going through a table.. and still making it back before the ten count.
He wanted to applaud the man, but this was a fight here. Walking over to Marcus, Avari grabs the top rope for leverage and starts stomping down on to the bigger man's ankles again, ready for the ref to run in and start a count.

one could argue that Marcus had more than lived up to the family name here tonight. But Marcus was a prideful young man and wouldn't be satisfied until he got the win. However, Avari isn't making that easy as he starts the stomps to his ankles again. He attempts to roll towards the center of the ring to get away from the continued onslaught

Avari has fire in his eyes with those stomps, but Marcus rolls away. Before he can continue though, the ref gets in his face and tells him he should keep away from the ropes and respect the roles, and goes on.

now in the center of the ring, Marcus once again has to force himself to his feet. There goes that limp again and he ends up stumbling and leaning against the ropes

Avari gets that Fusion anger in his belly again and forces the ref to the side. He rushes at Damone and attempts to clothesline him over the top rope.
Why would be let him breathe?

Marcus is reeling, but this time, he spots Avari charging in. He ducks the clothesline and attempts to back drop him over the top rope to finally get some separation

Avari is quite easily lifted over the top rope, much to his annoyance. But he's able to land on the ring apron, and will wait for Marcus to turn around before attempting to jump up with a Balor-esque kick to the head, holding on to the top rope

Marcus thought he might have a moment to breathe, but when he turns around, its only to be kicked in the head. Marcus stumbles back to the center of the ring, staying on his feet out of sheer force of will at this point
