Jacob The Mantis OGrady Posted January 11 Posted January 11 (edited) Immediately following the opening match of the night, The Mantis was observed crawling out of the ring under his own steam and kneeling on the ring floor, clutching his throat as Belakor celebrated his victory. During the following commercial break, however, The Mantis then suddenly collapsed, face up on the ring floor. The OCW Universe stood in tentative, nervous silence as training staff quickly rushed to his side, but The Mantis was initially unresponsive, and would have to be lifted onto a stretcher and hurried to a local medical facility for emergency treatment. Belakor simply watched from the ring as his defeated opponent was wheeled away, seemingly indifferent to the unfolding events. Upon arrival, it was determined by medical staff that he had fallen unconscious as a result of Belakor, during his submission hold, pinching both The Mantis' carotid arteries in either sides of the neck, obstructing the flow of blood into the brain. Had Belakor not released The Mantis for just a few more seconds, we are told, the incident could very well have turned tragic. The Mantis himself has not been able to speak since his collapse. Due to the uniqueness and severity of the injuries sustained, it is considered highly unlikely that The Mantis will be released from medical care in time to attend Turmoil 326 Friday. Whether Belakor shall face any ramifications from this incident remains to be seen. More on this story as it develops.
