(Pure) Blood Runs Cold

[Skull]

The lights fade out to a dim red glow and the words It Came From Hell appear on the screen as Sweet Dreams by Probot blasts out of the speakers.

Linda: Making his return to GHW, From Hell, weighing in at 213lbs. He is The Pureblood, Skull.

Malibu: So who is this guy?
Hank: Well he's before our time but I've asked around and he's certainly not a very pleasant individual. I just hope he doesn't have his flask with him.
Malibu: Why, what's in it?
Hank whispers something to Malibu.
Malibu: Eww, gross!

Skull walks down the ramp, ignoring the boos from the crowd. He is wearing a black, ripped, long sleeved t-shirt and and some black trousers with a red pentagram on each thigh. He wears a single black glove on one hand. With his other, ungloved hand he clutches a necklace which hangs around his neck. His long black hair almost hides his face but just visible underneath are dark rings of eyeliner around his eyes which makes him look even more skeletal.
He reaches the ring and grabs a microphone.

Skull: So I'm finally back in GHW and to be honest I wish I'd never left.

The fans begin to cheer, thinking that Skull has had a change of attitude.

Skull: Because it has sure as Hell gone downhill since I was last here.

The fans quickly change their cheers to boos in outrage at this statement.

So I am to make my return at Blood Runs Cold. Fitting, frankly. Because as I look around, I consider myself to be the last of a dying breed, a pureblood. I see all this new talent come in, all these arrogant young kids and I think God help us. But that's not the worst. At least they try to wrestle, albeit terribly, but they try nevertheless. No, what disgusts me is this new style that has the audacity to call itself wrestling. Ultra-violence.

The fans cheer at the word, deliberately trying to infuriate Skull.

These so-called Deathmatches where idiots cut eachother open, electrocute eachother, blow eachother up. What kind of sick individuals would willingly engage in that? This sick individual certainly wouldn't. So now I find that in my return match, the perfectly good ring ropes will be replaced with barbed wire. Sure. That wouldn't limit a Fighty fighty person's move set at all would it?
Any idiot can throw their opponent into barbed wire, but can you hit a crisp t-bone suplex or a 450 splash? I can.

Hank: Our GHW superstars are great athletes. They choose to compete in these matches to entertain the fans.
Malibu: Yeah, I love all the action.

But I'm not one to underestimate my opponents. I know that Ryu is one of the best Fighty fighty persons in GHW. So Thunderhawk, how about you come down here and meet me face to face in this ring before our match.

TBC by Ryu or anyone else with something to say. C'mon people lets interact ;D

[Ryan Hughes]

At that moment, Saliva- Ladies and Gentlemen, blares out of the speakers and the crowd begins to cheer. The cheers get louder when Ryan Hughes comes out with his tradmark baseball bat in one hand and a mic in the other.

RH: CUT MY MUSIC!!!

The music stops but you can still hear the fans chanting "BATMAN, BATMAN...". RH looks around and points to the fans in appreciation nodding his head. He lifts the mic to his mouth.

RH: Listen to that. (Crowd cheers again) Look who they are cheering for, it look like one of the "arrogant kids" you were talking about. You might think youre pureblood but me and all of the fans here in the arena think you are nothing but a piece of s***.

Hughes starts walking up the ramp towards the ring. He enters the ring and glares at Skull.

RH: Now unless you want to be eating bat, I suggest you take back what you said OK???
The two men stare eachother down, Skull laughs. RH raises his bat menacingly as the crowd cheer and chant "BATMAN BATMAN..."

TBC: SKULL OR RYU.

[Hayabusa]

Ryan is still on the stage as Skull is in the ring looking at Ryan the stare almost like daggers. The fans are on there feet waiting to see what happens next when The Abyss of your Eyes begins to play over the loudspeakers the fan immeditly begin the biggest boo and Asshole chant imaginalbe as Hawkeye comes walking out from behind the curtain. Ryan looks behind and watches Hawkeye just walk by him and make his way down to the ring. Skull appears to be a bit on edge as he watches a familer advisary who he has tangled with coming down and making his way to the ring as even he is a bit surprised by how loud the boos and chants are. Hawkeye steps into the ring his blue streaked hair is tied up into a pony tail and he is wearing a tank top that shows the scars on his arms, chest, and back. Hawkeye turns to face Skull and raises the mic to speak.

Hawkeye:Skull, It has been a long time my friend...I am glad to see that you are healthy and well and fit. I understand your pain about the barbed wire rope match that your going to be in at Blood Runs Cold. I had nothing to do the match though. It seems that Trickshot and these damn board of directors want to ruin the fun that I had in store for each of my superstars who perform in the ring.

Hawkeye:Now Skull, I like you and all and think your are one of the top athleates on the roster in fact. I like you so much that I will let that comment slide about how you say my GHW has gone to hell. I have gotten into battle with Mr. Trickshot, you know him as well as I do...He wants to go one way I have better grand plan and every step of the way Trickshot has stuck his nose into my business. I am working to make this the best company out there bar none.

Hawkeye steps closer to Skull who doesn't back down as he looks into the eyes of Hawkeye, Skull nods his head and raises the mic to speak.

Skull:Hawkeye...I don't know why your out here or what this has to do with you. It is as I said this place has gone to hell. You being a vet of hardcore should know the toll that it takes on a persons body. Hell I am surprised you are still able to walk from the long list of injuries you suffered. But I didn't come out here get into it with you nor this wing ding character over there who wants to be a bat. I came out here to insult and bring out Ryu, my opponent at the Blood Runs Cold.

Ryan feeling left out begins to make his way down the ramp way as he speaks into the mic with the crowd split between booing and cheering.

Ryan:Hold on a damn minute. Just hold on a damn minute. Who the hell you calling a wing ding character Skull. If there is anyone who is dingy in the belfry it would have to be you for coming out here and running your mouth about us so called arrogant kids who are the future of this sport. I have a damn good mind even though Hawkeye is in the ring to come in there and do these fans a favor and take out the trash.

The fans erupt into cheers as both Hawkeye and Skull look at Ryan who is now about half way down to the ring. Hawkeye cocks his head to the left slightly before he begins to speak.

Hawkeye:Wow! That was an almost moving speech there Ryan. I see that there is a fire burning deep within to prove that you are more then a small fry have no skill nor talent superstar. Your almost as bad as Johnny Abs...But I think I could get to you like Ryan, You do have spunk and these fans seem to have taken a liking to you after only one match. Then again...If it were not for me you dumb ass would not have a job in the greatest federation known to man and that is Gods and Heretics Wrestling. So Mr. Hughes I think that you should be happy and grateful that you have a job, take your self back up the ramp way and through the curtain before you hurt yourself.

Hank:Here we go again. Hawkeye again threating one of the new kids on the roster trying to put them down. I swear I just don't get why Hawkeye is doing such a thing. He used to be in this kids spot a long time ago himself at one time he should well more then understand what it is like. I really want to know what has happened to Hawkeye here. He never used to be so mean and condescending.

Malibu:I like don't know Hank, I do know though that Ryan kind of looks cute, but like um where is this flask that you were talking about? I haven't seen him pull it out yet.

All three superstars hold there ground Ryan still half way from the ring Skull and Hawkeye in the ring. All three superstars look around at each other before Hawkeye begins to speak.

Hawkeye:You know Skull...I expect a great match when you step into the ring against Ryu at Blood Runs Cold. Here is one thing though that you have over Ryu. Ryu has never partook in anything really hardcore, such as these barbed wire ropes that are going to be in your match. He is going to be at a disadvantage probably more so then you. Now I am not out here trying to defend Ryu...Or stick up for him as he can do this on his own, though he has not been returning my calls here as of late so I don't know what he is doing or what he is thinking. The reason I came out here is because I am looking for a superstar of high talent. A superstar who can go out there and put on a great show for these fans even if they are too dumb to realize it.

The fans boo as Skull smirks and nods his head before Hawkeye speaks again.

Hawkeye:As you know I already have Collins Fitzpatrick the who should be rightful TV champion who has come onto the winning team. I am not pleased with these board of directors who don't even do anything but wear nice pressed suits and eat whatever it is they eat. Had the board of directors not decided to get involved with Trickshot went to them like a baby, This tournament would not be happening. But be it as it may we are stuck with these matches. I would change your match if I could but the board has me locked me out completly on this card.

Hank:Wow! Hawkeye got locked out of being able to change the card up!?!? What a bold move by Trickshot, he might have some brains there after all.

Hawkeye:Now as I said Skull, I don't know where Ryu is or what he is doing but I am out here to only ask if that you will take sides with me and Collin and show Trickshot who is the best at doing there job. To make it even more tempting I will let you and this Batty fellow here have a match of your choice on the next TNT card. So what do you say to that?

TBC by Ryan or Skull

[Ryan Hughes]

As skull goes to speak, Ryan cuts him off.

RH: Hold on just one second, Skull. Hawkeye, you have seriously changed for the worse. I remember when I was just starting out in the indie curcuits. I watched GHW whenever I could and although it might sound unbelievable, you were my hero. In my view, you used to epitomise greatness and brilliance. Hell I even used to spend my paycheck on tickets to TNT just to see you pummel the next guy into oblivion. But since then you started to think you were superior to everyone else.

Hawkeye: Dont talk to me li-

RH: DOES IT LOOK LIKE IVE FINISHED???

The crowd erupt in to cheers.

RH: Dont you remember when you were in my position, just starting in GHW? Getting a real buzz over the next match card, making an impression by wrestling and not with your mouth? Now look at you, too cowardly to face people one on one so you have to make an alliance, just to save your skin when the going gets tough. That sickens me. So as for your offer, HELL NO!!! You need sense knocking back into you. And skull, if you decide to accept this offer, you need sense knocking into you aswell.

The crowd go crazy and restart the chant "BATMAN, BATMAN" as Ryan points his bat menacingly towards skull and hawkeye in turn.

[Skull]

Hawkeye advances on Ryan Hughes, furious at being interrupted but Skull puts his hand out to stop him.

Skull: [glow=red,2,700]You know Hawk, people like him are the reason GHW has gone to hell. And it's only gonna get worse until you're in charge. So I'll gladly join your alliance.[/glow]
Malibu: Wow, Hawkeye now has both Colin Fitzpatrick and Skull on his side. Trickshot needs to get some people on his side to counter these guys.
Hank: Well I'm sure Ryan Hughes would take that job.

RH: Why would you join a coward like HawkEye, do you want this bat around your head?

The crowd continue to chant "Batman, Batman" as Ryan Hughes gets ready to hit Skull.

Skull: [glow=red,2,700]Hey, hey, hey. Lets all calm down for a second.[/glow]
Skull reaches into his pocket, takes out a small silver flask and unscrews the top. He holds it toward Ryan Hughes and asks him if he wants a drink. Both Hawkeye and Skull himself start to smirk as he asks the question.
The fans who remember Skull start to scream at Ryan Hughes, telling him not to drink it. After listening to the fans, he declines, leaving both Skull and Hawkeye looking slightly disappointed.

Skull: [glow=red,2,700]Fine, suit yourself.[/glow]
With that Skull brings the flask to his lips, drinks from it, then spits a red viscous liquid into the face of Ryan Hughes.

Malibu: Eww, is that like seriously blood? That is minging.
Hank: It sure is, and now you understand why these fans hate Skull so much.

Ryan Hughes stumbles back, dropping his bat and starts to gag and spit the 'blood' out of his mouth. As he does this, Skull calmly bends down and picks up the bat to repeated chants of "You Suck" from the crowd.

Skull: [glow=red,2,600]You want this bat back? Then meet me in the ring and take it back.[/glow]
Skull and Hawkeye snigger at Ryan Hughes then begin to leave the ring together, talking about their plans for the alliance.
