Team name: Insurgentsia
Team Alignment: Tweener (They tend to get more of a heel reaction, but they don’t do anything particularly heelish and tend to feud with heels more than faces. Their reputation simply precedes them)
Team members: Johnny Bacchus and Ash Blake
Team entrance theme: “The Death of Peace of Mind” by Bad Omens
Team entrance details:
The lights in the arena cut out as the opening notes of “The Death of Peace of Mind” begin to play over the P.A. On the Actiontron, a series of images and letters flash:
the letter I, a match lighting a prayer candle,
the letter N, a set of onyx rosary beads,
the letter S, an illustration from John Milton’s “Paradise Lost” of Lucifer cast from Heaven,
the letter U, a black balaclava being pulled over a face,
the letter R, a sigil drawn on a concrete floor,
the letter G, an illustration of Icarus plummeting to Earth,
the letter E, bullets falling from the cylinder of a revolver,
the letter N, a coat being pulled over shoulders,
the letter T, a set of hands pulling on a single black leather glove,
the letter S, a woman’s eyes,
the letter I, the gloved hand wrapping around the handle of a baseball bat
the letter A, two silhouetted figures
As Noah Sebastian’s vocals begin, two spotlights hit opposite ends of the stage. Beneath one walks Ash Blake, dressed in an all-black suit and turtleneck. From the other side of the stage and under the second spotlight walks Johnny Bacchus, dressed in matching attire with a balaclava over his head and the black baseball bat draped over his shoulder. The lights go black once more, and with each hit of the echoing 808, the spotlights flash to reveal the pair approaching one another. Joined together under an icy blue spotlight, the pair look down the ramp towards the ring. Johnny reaches up to pull the balaclava off his head, and the two make eye contact before looking back.
The lights explode in a strobe burst before coming fully on as the song kicks into its groove. The two stalk down the ramp, both faces masks of quiet intensity and determination.
Tracy Wolfson: And making their way to the ring, weighing in at a combined 350 lbs…. the team of Johnny Bacchus and Ash Blake. They are INSURGENTSIA!
At the base of the ramp, they split off and circle the ring in opposite directions as the chorus of their theme explodes over the speakers. Once meeting at the opposite corner, they remove their coats and Johnny rests his bat against the ring steps. The ascend the stairs and Johnny steps up onto the middle rope to hold it down so Ash can slink through, and he vaults himself over the top to join her. They stalk the ring, eyeing their adversaries with quiet intensity before they take to the corner.
At the corner, Johnny pulls himself up to stand on the middle rope as Ash removes the turtleneck to reveal her ring attire beneath. Looking out over the crowd, Bacchus takes in the reaction. He pulls off his own turtleneck and discards it to the outside, turning to sit on the top turnbuckle as he glowers at their adversaries. A quiet, confident smile parses both their lips as the lights slowly come on.
Team moves:
Camel Clutch -> Running shin kick, dropkick, or knee to the head (executed by either)
Shotgun Dropkick (Blake) -> German Suplex (Bacchus)
Assisted Shining Wizard
Wheelbarrow Facebuster (Bacchus) -> Cutter (Blake)
Double team Wing Snapper
Team finisher:
Assisted Singles Finishers – Johnny will lift Ash and help her rotate for the Chapter 11 rather than her requiring to leap from the top rope, and Ash will down an opponent with a dropkick to the knee to set up Johnny for the Czolgosz Driver.
