Trials of Despair Finals
Last Man Standing
Lissie Hope vs. Gerard Angelo
The lights go out in the arena and the sound of a synth starts playing.
“I CAN’T STOP!”
The lights start to flash as “STOP” repeats over and over from different speakers in the arena as the beat starts to build and then it drops.
BOOM
A small explosion of gold fireworks goes off
“I CAN’T STOP!”
The lights come back on as Kanye West’s voice serenades the people as they give loud boos (Accompanied by a small smattering of cheers) as Gerard Angelo is shown standing on stage, back to the crowd, the hood of his hoodie pulled up, right arm raised above his head at an angle, one finger extended. He throws his hood back with the same hand and spins around to the crowd, arms extended, like he’s absorbing another wave of booing, a cocky smirk etched across his face as he surveys the crowd behind his trademark sunglasses. He makes his way down to the ring slowly, brushing off fans and taunting them.
Adilene Floyd: From Hollywood, California, weighing in at 225 lbs, "The Living Legend", GERRRRRARD ANGELOOOOOOOOO!He stops at the ring stairs and slaps the top step before climbing them, and walking to the center of the ring apron.Angelo surveys the arena crowd once more, before slipping through the middle and top rope into the ring. He walks to the opposite ring post, leaping up onto the second turnbuckle. Gerry points to the crowd before unzipping his hoodie, which gets more than a few ladies in the audience to scream out, before pulling it off and pretending to toss it to the fans, before just dropping it on the floor with a smirk. "The Hollywood Hero" hops down and removes his trademark sunglasses, placing them in the corner neatly before leaning back against the turnbuckles, still mouthing off to the fans as he starts to stretch.
Billy: It's time for the Last Man Standing match! All you have to do is put your opponent down for the ten count!Chris Avery: Easy enough! The winner moves on to face CJ Phoenix for the United States Championship this Sunday night at Revolution V!The heavy synths of "You'll Miss Me When I'm Not Around" by Grimes begins. The child-like adlibs and the booming bass shakes the seats underneath each audience member. They rise to their feet in anticipation of the arrival of Action Wrestling’s former two-time World Champion, "The Blackheart" Lissie Hope!
I shot myself yesterday / got to Heaven anyway
The crowd jumps out of their seats as Grimes' continues to sing into the pre-chorus. The anticipation is growing, and the cheers start to crescendo.
If you don't bleed / then you don't die
Cross my heart / and hope to fly
Finally, the curtains spread and Lissie Hope emerges at the top of the entrance stage, standing for a moment and appreciating all of the cheers being levied in her direction.
If they could see me now / smiling six-feet underground
She notices signs of support in the front rows, and she acknowledges those young fans with high-fives. She sprints down the ramp, sliding under the bottom rope. She bounces to her feet and raises her arms to the crowd.
You'll miss me when I'm not around
Adeline Floyd: Ladies and gentlemen, from New Orleans, Louisianas... standing 5'5" and weighing 135 pounds... "THE BLACKHEART"... LISSSSSSIEEEE HOOOOOOPE!She enters the ring, wearing a cut-off "Hero" tee-shirt, revealing a black Under Armour exercise top and black and pink workout pants. She tosses the shirt into front rows, watching the fans fight over the memorabilia. Climbing the corner to acknowledge the fans, the song fades to a hush and she awaits the opening bell.
