The lights in the arena dim, a quiet hush falling over the gymnasium. Lizzie Morna's footfalls can be heard slapping quietly as she walks along the ring apron before ducking through the ropes. She walks to the centre of the squared circle, the luminous haze brightening her face as she takes centre stage. Simultaneously the lights are turned on and the crowd falls deafly silent, anticipation waning for the next encounter. Lizzie raises the microphone to her lips, ready to announce the next match.
Lizzie: The next match is the first of two pick your posion matches between the Amandific One, Amanda Hallsworth and Jeff "Smitty" Smith. It is a singles match scheduled for one fall. Introducing Amanda's pick tonight. Hailing from Canterbury, England and weighing in tonight at 219 pounds. Rhaps.
Much to the confusion of the fans amassed around the ring Ironman by Black Sabbath rips through the building as the familair riff bursts into life. The music sets a sombre tone as Rhaps emerges from backstage, his face remaining dark and resolute. There is no showmanship this week as a gaunt Safety Ranger keeps his eyes fixed on the ring ahead of him as he calmly walks towards it. Some of the fans try to get his attention but to no avail. Rhaps walks at a painfully slow speed whilst the fans' gaze turns to his unusual ring attire. Instead of the usual compliment of psychadelic clothing Rhaps is merely wearing a plain black T-shirt and knee length shorts, no other adornment being seen on them. The Rhapsitastic One contines his progress to the ring whilst Jimmy Pate and Ray comment on it.
JP: I'm not sure what's come over Rhaps tonight. There's been no hyper display of showmanship for the fans and the overdone fireworks effect is missing. Last week we saw Rhaps lose the opening match of the night and maybe that combined with the sadistic efforts of an unknown assailant have taken their toll on him.
Ray: I'm not sure either but it looks as if its unlocked a darker persona. As much as I don't like Rhaps this different side could be interesting and he's got more than something to prove tonight to the roster. After seeing Alex get the win, the superstars in the back must be chomping at the bit to notch Rhaps down a couple more notches.
Some of Rhaps' fans shout enthusiastically to him, all having limited effect. The SIC Maniac continues to walk staunchly, making neither a show nor a spectacle out of himself. He grimly walks up the ring steps whilst Ironman continues to play around the building. The Rhapsitastic One steps through the ring ropes before walking over to one side and leaning against the turnbuckle, adjusting his wrist straps. Ironman fades out to nothing while Rhaps continues to fiddle with the tape on his wrists and waiting for the arrival of his designated opponent for the night.
TBCB Jeff Smith.
