Forecourt of the Shamed Match
The match is reminiscent of the hand and footprints at the Chinese Theater. The first competitor to toss the opponent into a wet cement-like substance at the base of the ramp wins the match, gains the opponent as a POW, and the competitor's body mold is placed on display at a location of the winner's choosing. There are no disqualifications in the match.
"Oh come on Isa! You don't have to babysit me!"
"What? No, Julie, no... I'm not babysitting you! I'm just... Accompanying you, okay?"
"NO! I'm perfectly capable of fighting my matches myself!"
"Of course you are! No one said you weren't! Just remember, that she's a-..."
"Yeah yeah, I do remember that she's a heavyweight! It doesn't matter!!!"
"But Julie, you remember the last time with Annabe-...."
"DON'T constantly always bring that up, OK? It's in the past! She was a total weirdo!!!"
*Sigh* "Sure. But how can you know that this one-..."
"No, I can't, and no, I won't! It doesn't matter! I'm a wrestler! I need to cope by myself!"
"Fine, Julie... But couldn't I just join you by the ringside?"
"No, Isa, no! You STAY HERE!!!"
In reality, Julie O'Reilly wasn't quite as angry, or quite as confident as she had sounded like. Strutting towards the gorilla position and leaving her friend and fellow LAW wrestler Isa behind in the locker room, the Irish gingerhead knew that tonight's match likely wasn't going to be an easy one for her. At least, based on what she knew of her opponent. LAW didn't seem to hold too many reservations regarding pitting wrestlers from different weight divisions battling against each other, and apparently her opponent tonight was going to be a heavyweight one! While the lightweight Julie wasn't one to turn down a match, far from it, she did also realize being the clear underdog here... Especially after how her previous match against a heavyweight had gone. It hadn't been exactly competitive.
Unfortunately, this was information that she had managed to slip to her friend Isa. And while Julie certainly appreciated her friendship and concern over her well-being in most situations, this wasn't exactly one of them. Or at least, the way Isa had decided to act on her concerns... Especially after having found out that Julie's weight was less than two thirds of that of her opponent's, her heavyweight friend had become adamant on wanting to accompany her to the ring. And for Julie, that was obviously a no-no. Even if she found herself at a disadvantage, her matches were hers, and only hers to deal with! The last thing she wanted was to look like some kind of a coward, who brought friends into the ring for back-up!
Besides, Julie did have a bit of a thing for testing her capabilities against bigger and stronger wrestlers anyway. Wrestling was always a test of strength and skills at its core, and Julie was certainly keen to get to find out what she would be capable of again tonight... In a proper battle, in pure wrestling, in a standard match!
...this was going to be a standard match, right? Julie hadn't actually asked.
Julie O'Reilly - The Velvet Hood: Entrance Attire
Entrance theme: Lana Del Rey - Blue Velvet
The soft tunes of Julie's entrance theme filled the arena, and the Velvet Hood made her appearance hopping cheerfully down the ramp. Managing to contain herself and her excitement a bit as she was approaching the ring, Julie still had a mischievous smile on her face... A smile that abruptly turned into confused disdain, as her toes suddenly dipped into some soft and wet substance at the base of the ramp! Utterly confused, the turn of events threw the spunky gingerhead off for a moment, as she couldn't understand what the hell was it there for... Had there been some maintenance works going on, that had been left incomplete before tonight's show? Realizing that she was getting distracted, and probably confusing the crowds as well, the Irish girl tried to then shrug the whole incident off as swiftly as she could, and climb calmly up a turnbuckle all the way to the top rope, carrying her signature batch of rope in her other hand!
Once up, the Irish girl began her usual entrance manouvers by loosening her hood so that it finally fell down, revealing her long, thick ginger hair. Smiling at the crowds, she rolled her little lasso up in the air before jumping down, proceeding to leave the rope by her corner for now. She then made her way once more to the opposite corner, climbing again up onto the top rope, and began to loosen and open up the rest of her cape, to finally reveal her fan favorite, rather risqué blue velvety wrestling attire for the crowds to admire!
Wrestling attire:
Then it was time for the Irish gingerhead to promptly get down from the ropes and proceed into her corner, settling there to wait for finding out how this heavyweight opponent of hers was going to really turn out to be like!
