The Serpent vs The Crusher - Sven's Debut Match

[Sven]

Not long time passed since Sven signed the contract with LAW. And today was finally his debut match. The blonde wrestler was not new in the world of Pro Wrestling though. He knew his stuff.

Sven didn’t know much about his first LAW opponent. The organizers only said that it was a perfect match for him to start with. And actually they themselves knew very little about him. When Sven talked with them about the match, they just said “His name is Bill...Bill The Crusher. Unfortunately we can’t add much more because he is a total mystery. Even his past his unknown. We can just tell you that he is relentless, he wears a mask and talks little or nothing.”

And so with these few information Sven was thinking about his opponent and how the match would be like. He surely was not afraid. Quite the opposite, he was always looking to challenge those brute fearsome wrestlers.

The Nordic wrestler had his overall goal well fixed in his mind to bring his “crusade of the uprights” high and shine. Whichever would have been the outcome of the match, he would make a fair and clean fight, no matter who he was going to meet on the stage.

“The match you are going to see it’s a standard match! The rules are simple, competitors must achieve the victory by pinfall, submission or knockout!”

He was now ready and waiting to be called out. And so it was, the host called his name and the blonde walked out to meet for the first time the LAW audience.

“Let me introduce…The Serpent!!”

Spoiler

Walking down the ramp, Sven was wearing his black outfit. His well built muscular body was dressed up with a minimal attire consisting of small briefs, wristbands and flat boots, all in black color. The milk white skin was shining under the lights of the arena. His long blonde hair fluttering free and a confident gaze looking around at the stadium and the copious crowd.

They were very welcoming, all cheering for his entrance. Sven greeted back raising up an a hand and smiling a little. Climbed the ring and reached his corner, waiting for the opponent.

Tonight would be a special honour; Bill was being given the opportunity to work the debut match for a brand new male competitor to LAW! Clearly the man he would be facing; "Sven Thorstenson" was deemed a suitable fit for a match against the likes of Bill. An opportunity for both competitors to show off their power in a equal, competitive setting was something Bill had not realized could be such a enticing prospect; But that didn't mean he planned on going easy on his opponent. Watching Sven make his entrance while Bill waited backstage... Oh yes; this would be one to watch. Sven was by no means a small man, his muscularity and physique almost rivalling that of Bill himself. His blonde hair flowed freely and he enthusiastically greeted the crowd. Hm. Hopefully he wasn't too much of a show-off; Bill wasn't looking for a pretty face without a good mind for wrestling, He was hoping Sven would prove himself capable against the masked man. But all the cards were set, it was showtime.

Making his way to the ring... "Bill; The Crusher!"

Spoiler

Bill strode out of the curtain with a lot less of a boisterous attitude. He was a very simple man to understand; His nickname he chose out of a basic description of what he did in the ring. No need to overthink or overcomplicate anything; not even his attire which he opted for the most plainly attainable he could. A pair of tight fitting trunks that nearly matched his skin colour leaving very little up to the imagination, as well as a plain mask with a skull pattern seemingly there to maintain a basic sense of anonymity and prove himself as more an instrument of his ability rather than a man.

He walked with purpose in each step as he made his way down the ramp and to the ring apron, which he clambered on without a second glance at anyone or anything besides the ring and his opponent. As his feet crossed over the top rope, it bent far down and pressed against his hip tightly to which he gave no meaningful reaction. Not even as his package ungracefully slid against the material of the rope did he lose focus on his opponent who awaited him in the ring. With a thunderous boom, both feet were now planted in the ring and he began pacing his opponent; studying his body up close as he determined his best strategy~

"Welcome to LAW. Hope you can back up your looks with your wrestling ability, I'm not gonna hold back."

Bill stated his thoughts as plainly as he needed to. No fluff, no boasting, just a simple statement.

[Sven]

Sven was waiting at the corner of the ring when the host called his opponent: Bill The Crusher walked out the curtain. His steps were calm yet determined. From distance Sven could guess he was slightly bigger than him. For a moment he thought that his opponent was going to fight naked, then Sven could notice the tight trunks with almost the same color of Bill’s skin. His mask along with his nickname were probably an intent to demoralize his opponents, which didn’t happen to Sven. Though, he admitted in his mind that he was surely a sinister wrestler.
Finally Bill clambered the ring.

With the little information Sven could get from his entrance, he was guessing that Bill would probably be a methodical wrestler, using simple yet efficient moves. As the organizers said few days earlier, he was a good match for Sven’s debut.

Bill, now in the ring, was moving towards Sven. And so the blonde wrestler did, leaving the corner to go meet his opponent in the center of the ring. When they were facing each other, Bill welcomed Sven with a low tone of voice. Finally Sven was in front of the mysterious wrestler and was looking forward to fight with him. In fact Sven could surely get to know more about Bill just fighting with him...at least his attitude in the ring, which was the most important and actually the only thing that matters.

“Thank you. Good to hear that, because I’m not going to hold back as well.”

Answered Sven, and reached out a hand to greet in respect his opponent, as normally Sven does during each match against wrestlers he never met.

[Lycanstar]

“Thank you. Good to hear that, because I’m not going to hold back as well.”

Sven reached his hand out politely for a handshake while in the centre of the ring; only to be greeted by Bill's empty gaze. Bill's head didn't make any movement or turn to even look at Sven's hand as the two had an awkward stare-down while standing in front of each other.

"Put your hand down. Ring the bell."

Bill spoke quite bluntly once again; He wasn't here for pleasantries. He was here for a match; and despite the respectful nature of Sven's intentions, Bill could not even feign to show the same respect Sven was asking for. He kept still without so much as a twitch; just the slow rising and sinking of his chest as he awaited the bell.

*Ding Ding*

Bill took no time in his starting actions; although he was not fast by any means. He raise his right hand to Sven's shoulder and would look to grip his collarbone tightly while pressing his thumb deep into the side of his neck to give the man a indication of the strength he possessed! Bill's left arm would raise slowly to attempt to stop Sven if he tried to counter~ Would Sven react in time or could he endure the painful preview Bill was giving him?

[Sven]

Sven expected a reaction like that from Bill. And so he just smirked and put down the hand, observing the calm, statuesque man through the fabric of the mask.

The bell finally rang. Bill didn’t waste any moment to go for his first attack. Raised the right hand and gripped Sven’s collarbone to then finger-press the base of the neck.

“NGH!”

As Sven guessed earlier before, simple yet effective move. Bill was not just a big and sinister wrestler, he was actually strong, and Sven had to be particularly careful. The blonde gritted his teeth and did a tiny step back, just to react soon after aiming Bill’s head with a right hook. But the masked wrestler was ready for a counter and blocked the punch. Sven wanted to bring Bill’s focus on that attack to hide his main intention of evading the neck grip with his left arm. He then would try to grab it, slide on the back of his opponent and arm-locking him from behind. If the move would be successful, he would also press with his right arm while turning around and choke Bill, squeezing his neck.

[Lycanstar]

Sven stumbled back slightly from Bill's grip, clearly feeling the pain being applied to him. Bill only leaned in further as a result, proving his dominance over Sven as he easily stopped his counter with his free hand. He stared deeply into Sven's eyes as he wanted to see the exact point he realized he would be overwhelmed by Bill's power~ Perhaps a little premature, Bill was already savouring Sven's defeat...

Until he felt the fire in Sven light up as the blonde man had a look of determination etched on his face and before he knew it; Bill had his arm gripped tightly, causing him to loosen his grip as Sven powered his way slowly around till he was behind the masked man!

"Gnh."

Bill's arm was locked behind his back as he let out a slight grunt of acknowledgement~ He was not fast by any means; so Sven's technique was easy to lock in as the blonde wrapped his arm around Bill's neck in a choke as well! A deep humm emerged from Bill's lips as he slowly looked to observe his situation; gripping Sven's hand around his neck tightly to determine his hold- He was locked in tight. Bill let him have it for a minute~ Rather enjoying the resistance Sven was giving; Bill was impressed by his strength. The two remained locked on their feet for a few seconds before Bill decided enough was enough. Sven may be in control now but he shouldn't get carried away.

Bill would attempt to grip Sven's wrist wrapped around his neck as tightly as he could with his free hand, looking to debilitatingly overpower him! But Bill had to give it all he had; despite his still curious nature he could tell the longer he remained in this hold the more trouble he would find himself in... Could Sven handle the pain once more?

[Sven]

Sven was in control now, as he was holding Bill in a painful armlock, keeping his arm tight on the back of the masked wrestler. The other arm was wrapped around the neck choking it. The two wrestler remained in that position for few moments until Bill went for his counter to free himself from the hold. He gripped Sven’s wrist strongly. It was so strong that after few seconds Sven had to loosen the grip, letting a chance for Bill to escape from the choking.

Sven thought it would be a matter of seconds before Bill would struck free, and so the blonde wrestler decided to hold tighter the armlock, pressing with his body against the back of Bill and increasing the hold.

“You are not going to set yourself free from my hold so easily!”

The Nordic wrestler taunted Bill trying to keep the armlock as long as possible. Though, he was now struggling under the strong grip of the masked man which was painfully squeezing his wrist.

[Lycanstar]

“You are not going to set yourself free from my hold so easily!”

Although the pressure on Sven's left arm was waning, the armlock was still cinched in tight; despite Rev's best efforts! Targeting limbs like this while effective; was not a experience Bill was looking to feel. He wanted full control of his body to enact his work; having parts of him fail or lose efficiency infuriated the man as his aggressive humming became louder and louder with each passing second.

"Mmh. Stop. It."

Bill would feel Sven pulling him backwards with his wrist; but Bill decided his best plan of action would be to begin leaning forward and carry himself away from where Sven had more control! Getting slowly down to one knee and with Rev's wrist still tightly gripped; Bill would let Sven practically lay upon Bill's back as he pulled hard on the blonde's wrist attempting to bring him far enough that he would be forced to let go! Would Sven's pressure on Bill's arm loosen or would Sven keep his control and only use this to push the masked man further down?

[Sven]

Sven’s wrist and hand were tingling now as the firm grip of the masked man was still well clung. His right arm was fully in control of Bill, which was now trying to get free from the armlock leaning forward. Sven slowly followed his direction. His balance was getting weaker in that position, and the blonde wrestler had to widen the barycenter by spreading and setting his legs on the sides of Bill, which was bowing on a knee.

“Nnnh...aahh...”

In the new position Sven couldn’t keep the armlock tight, and it started to loosen more and more. His right arm at the mercy of Bill. The action was making Sven sweating, as tiny beads of sweat were gliding on his pale skin and falling on Bill.

[Lycanstar]

Bill through his own pain could hear that his strategy on Sven was working; the blonde man's grip on Bill's arm was fading. He could hear Sven's struggling breaths as the masked man felt Sven fully mount his back for all the momentum that he could possibly muster... The dripping of Sven's sweat rolled down and onto Bill's body as he calmly looked to collect himself while on both knees now. The two men's bodies were locked against each other in a equalling display of power; Bill just had to savour the competition as long as he could. This was the fire he was looking for in a competitor; and he would look to savour every second of this match that he could.

"Brace yourself."

Bill would begin putting his whole body weight into pulling on Sven's wrist as he looked to yank the blonde across Bill and flip him directly onto his back in front of the masked man! Although Bill only had the strength of one good arm; could he manage to bring the entire body weight of the serpent down in front of him?
