Bloodbath match

[Skull]

The Lights fade out and 'Sweet Dreams' plays around the arena as Skull walks out onto the entrance ramp with the words It Came From Hell on the screen behind him.

Lizzie: The following contest is a Bloodbath match. Making his way to the ring, to explain the rules of this match, he is Mr Money In The Bank and the Captain Master of the mat, The Æsahættr: SKULL!

As Skull walks down the ramp, red pyros shoot up and down each side of it encasing Skull in a tunnel of sparks and creating the illusion that he is stepping out of Hell.
As he gets to the bottom of the entrance ramp he hesitates, looking at a golden altar that is situated in between the ring and the ramp. The ring itself is decorated in a gothic style with the GHW logo replaced with pentagrams and other occult symbols.
Aside from the altar and the ring, the only other change is the addition of an oil drum full of blood located in the bottom left of the arena next to the commentary table. Around the drum are a number of golden chalices.

JP: Well this is it. Skull's invention, the bloodbath match. The arena is certainly well decorated for it, but we still don't know the official rules.
Ray: I dread to think of it, Jimmy. But what I'm most worried about is this... thing next to be.
JP: Well it appears to be an oil drum full of blood, but there's an awful lot of it and one has to wonder where it came from. For once I'm glad you're sitting next to me, Ray because you're closer to it than I am.

Skull climbs onto the ring apron and vaults over the top rope landing in the turnbuckle on the 2nd rope. He catches a microphone thrown to him by the timekeeper, then jumps back down into the ring.

Skull: Ladies and Gentlemen, allow me to introduce you to the bloodbath match. There will be no pins, no submissions, no knockouts and no disqualifications.

Skull pauses for a second, enjoying the attention.

Skull: There are only two ways to win this match. As you have no doubt noticed, next to a disgusted looking Ray there is a large container of blood. The first way to win is to scoop some up in a chalice and force it down your opponents throat.

The fans are disgusted by the idea and start to boo.

Skull: Well that's the easy way. Now for the hard way. Underneath the ring I have stored a number of weapons. Blades, spikes, tacks, shards of glass, barbed wire, if it can draw blood it's probably under there. But that's just the beginning. You see the alter at the bottom of the entrance ramp? After bloodying your opponent you must collect their blood in a chalice and place it on the altar as an offering to the gods and sacrificing your opponent's soul.
So will it be the easy way... or the hard way?

Skull throws the mic aside and waits for his opponents.

(ooc: I modified the rules slightly. I know it's really gimmicky but still. )

TBC by HW or Ravel

[ravel2006]

"Shut up" by Simple Plan begins to play. The song starts and on the titan tron by showing Ravel. It then flashes through different scenes of him performing moves on random Fighty fighty persons. There are spurts of fire on the side of the stage on the first two drumbeats. Ravel walks out from backstage bouncing around, excited for the upcoming match.

Lizzie: Coming to the ring at 183 pounds and for his debut match.... Ravel Draken!

He runs down the ramp and then does a dive between the bottom and middle rope. He rolls into the center of the ring and gets to his feet. He claps and starts raising his arms to get the crowd going and he starts yelling for them to cheer. After the music fades Ravel gets to his corner waiting for the match to start.

J.P.: Now here's the new guy in a match that I'm sure he'll regret in the end.

Ray: Yeah... blood. I don't think I'll last that long come to think of it.

[Human Wreckingball/ Cosmos!]

JP: I wonder if Wreckingball is going to turn up for it?
Ray: I'm in two minds. I hate Wreckingball's goody goody-ness, but I think I would quite like to see him drink that...stuff.

The arena lights change from the dull, sickly red, to a deep, pulsing electric blue, and a sudden, aggressive shout is heard over the PA.

"Hey! It's Skull the tomato juice man! Well never fear, because the Metal Warrior is here! I am...the Human Wreckingball!"


The shout fades out, as "Through the Fire and Flames" by Dragon Force begins to play
Scenes of Wreckingball thrashing his opponents appear on the main screen, and just before the lyrics begin, the screen shows Jake Diamond crash through a burning table. The Titantron appears consumed by flame, but the flame shifts into blues and silvers.
The lyrics start and a huge surge of blue and silver pyro blasts upwards from either side of the ramp, hiding it from view. When the pyro clears, the Human Wreckingball is there, headbanging to the music. He continues to headbang for a while, then stops and salutes the cheering crowd.

The crowd cheer "Wreckingball! Wreckingball!"

He is wearing a "New Era" bandanna, a black "Motorhead Bomber" sleeveless t-shirt, black denim jeans and large steel-toed boots. He is wearing wraparound dark sunglasses too.
In addition to this there is a black leather sleeveless jacket, with patches on the back, a "New Era" patch across the shoulders, a skull patch beneath it, and "Metal Warrior" beneath that. He makes his way down the ramp, shaking hands and making jokes.

At the bottom of the ramp, he lifts one end of Skull's altar up, and tips it over, scattering the various items on it, and then proceeds to get into the ring.

He headbangs once- silver and blue pyro bursts from all four turnbuckles of the ring.
When the pyro stops, so does the music...and Wreckingball roars into the microphone...

"THE METAL WARRIOR IS HERE!"

The crowd cheers in return.

Wreckingball continues to speak. "It's an honour to be in the ring fighting you, Ravel...and less of an honour fighting Skull. Now, I hope Skull likes to feel healthy, because he sure will be drinking a lot of juice tonight. Who knows, it might bring some colour to his face?"

Ravel and the crowd laugh, but Skull simply grins sadistically.

The bell rings... and the men eye each other warily.

[Skull]

The bell rings and Wreckingball and Ravel look to lock up with eachother but Skull gets in between them, elbowing Ravel in to face to get him out of the way. Skull manages to connect with a few quick jabs on Wreckingball but is unable to match power with him and is soon forced back with a number of punches. Ravel joins in and they manage to force Skull back onto the ropes. Ravel and Wreckingball each grab one of Skull's arms and whip him across the ring. They try to catch him on the way back with a double clothesline but he jumps in the air, does the splits and whacks the other two in the face with his shins. All 3 of them go down to the mat.

Ray: Wow, I never knew Skull could do that. I can go into so much more detail with my fantasies now.

JP: Shut up, Ray.

Skull is the first to get up and quickly slides out of the ring. He goes under the apron looking for something and comes up with a large metal spike. He climbs back into the ring and goes directly for Wreckingball, jumping on him and trying to force the spike into his head. Out of instinct HW puts his hands up and tries to push Skull's arms back.
A psychotic look comes across Skull's face and he seems to find a superhuman strength. He manages force the spike closer and closer despite the stronger HW resiting him. The spike is only a centimeter away from Wreckingball's head when Ravel breaks it up with a hard kick to the side of Skull's head. Skull blacks out for a second, falling to the mat and the spike flies out of his hand across the ring.

Ray: That was close.

JP: If that is a taster of things to come then this will be a very brutal match.

Taking advantage of being the only man standing, Ravel picks Skull up and puts him in a powerbomb position. He then lifts Skull off of his feet and holds him upside down for a second then drops down in a sitting position, driving his head into the mat. By this time The Human Wreckingball is also on his feet and he & Ravel drag Skull across the ring then throw him out under the bottom rope.

Ray: This isn't fair, they're double teaming Skull.

JP: Well he deserves it, Ravel and Wreckingball wanted a friendly match and Skull gave them this.

Ray: Actually Skull challenged Ravel to a match then HW came and interfered.

HW and Ravel both climb out of the ring and pick up Skull's limp body then proceed to drag him by the hair over to the oil drum full of blood by the commentary table. They both glance at the oil drum then at Skull and grin at eachother.

Ray: Oh no, they're coming over here. What are they going to do?

JP: If i had to guess I'd say they are going to try to drown Skull in that blood.

HW tries to force Skull's head into the drum but at the last minute Skull grabs onto the sides to stop himself going in. HW tries to push Skull harder but he elbows him in the gut a number of times, trying to make him let go of his head.
Seeing that HW is in trouble, Ravel runs at Skull. Just as he gets close enough to Skull to attack, Skull manages to force HW backward with a big elbow then turns around to see Ravel charging at him. Out of instinct Skull throws Ravel over his back and the momentum carries him into the air, over the guard rail right next to them and lands onto of a few unsuspecting members of the crowd.

[ravel2006]

Skull picks HW up from the ground and then kicks at him. However, HW catches his foot. A sadistic grin appears on Skull's face as he kicks HW in the head.

J.P.:Oh my he just got him with a enziguiri!

Ray:Ow, that's gotta hurt.

Wreckingball stumbles a bit but Skull keeps him standing and tries to force his head into the drum. Out of nowhere Ravel comes over to Skull with a trash can and hits Skull over the head.

Ravel drops the trash can and picks up Skull. He turns him around. Ravel grabs Skulls head and does a reverse stunner. Ravel gets him up once more then HW clotheslines Ravel.


HW pulls Skull to his feet but Skull was prepared and hit him with a solid thrust from his forarm into his sensitive regions.

J.P.: Thats a cheap shot.

Ray.: No don't do that! It'll make it not function right for later!

J.P.: He's not interested.

Ray: You wouldn't know that.

J.P. smacks Ray in the back of the head.

Wreckingball is on the ground rolling in pain holding himself as Skull begins to get to his feet on his own. Ravel grabs the trash can and gets up. He puts the trash can over his head and swings it down at Skull nailing a solid hit in the back of his head. Skull falls to the ground but once again regains his stand. Ravel throws the trash can to the side and gives a playful grin. He lowers himself a bit and starts taunting him by waving him over with both hands. Skull doesn't look to pleased and HW is starting to get feeling back. Skull looks as if he is about to attack but Wreckingball comes in behind Skull and wraps his arms around his abdomen and performs a reverse bearhug, crushing him. Ravel shrugs his shoulders and slides back into the ring as Wreckingball lets Skull go, gasping. Wreckingball then kicks Skull in the head and leaves him there to take care of Ravel.
