Salem was just about to reach down and grab GBL when the man's body contorted and flexed, standing up in an unnatural way that made Croft flinch a bit! Stepping back some, he saw The Eclipse stand and shuffle towards him like something out of a Silent Hill game, the Gypsy Save as equally unnerved as the audience! But after his moment of hesitation, Salem collected his senses and surged forth, looking to stomp one of his steel-toed boots into GBL's sternum!

A kick that landed and knocked the risen Eclipde back down yet he would used the momentum of the shot to roll himself back with a hand stand and both feet landing back on the ring but poised in a three point stance that would see the Eclipde lunge forward with a lariat attempt.

Salem connected with the boot to GBL's chest, but the strange man rolled backward with the blow's momentum, hand-standing and springing back from a three point position to clothesline him! Taking the forearm across his collarbone, Salem hadn't corrected his balance and went backward himself, his spine taking a bump on the canvas!

Laying on his stomach after the impact, hands came around to push himself up a bit with laughter once ahead echoing out from him. The game was settling and his madness continued as he pushed himself up on all fours and motioned around to hover over the head of Salem. The purpose? To cast a shadow, mimicking his name sake, before he finally grabbed the head of his opponent to pick him up and drag him over to the ropes and push his neck up against the top rope, a scene similar to how he held his last opponent against the top turnbuckle.

As Salem waited for the ache in his chest to subside, he watched GBL hover over him with creepy menace, Salem scowling and flipping 'The Eclipse' off before the man grabbed the Native by his shaggy black hair and pulled him to his feet again!
Before he could even plant his legs beneath him, GBL was pushing Croft's throat into the ropes, choking him on the cable as the referee came closer to inspect the move! Coughing and flailing to get off the tightly braided rope, Salem fought off fuzziness around his eyes and hung on to the crowd around him cheering him on!

With the ref’s count, The Eclipse released Salem’s head as he gave the ref a daring glance. It only lasted a second before he was on the move, running toward the opposite ropes to rebound off and back to Salem. A leap up would plant one foot on the second rope with the other aiming a knee shot between the shoulder blades of his target.

Salem was fighting for breath against the cable when GBL finally released his grip, giving Croft an opportunity to grab hold of the top rope with both hands and breathe! But before he could recover completely and regain his composure, The Eclipse was already running the ropes and rebounding, doing a step-up knee into Croft' s shoulder blades! Losing his grip on the ropes, Salem started to fall down, tumbling through the top and middle cables to the outside!

Salem took a tumble with the Eclipse left, sitting on the second rope now to relish in the torment he was creating. It was indeed a grand time, but there was no time to just dally around. Moving under the ropes to stand on the apron and drop to the outside. The goal was to start lifting Salem back up all the while humming out a tune.

Salem was a little wobbly from the tumble, the crowd ooh'ing with concern as his body spilled through the ropes to the outside, but GBL was got on his heels, closing the distance and exiting the ring to pull the Gypsy Savage back up! As 'The Eclipse' did so, Salem struck like the snake he was, throwing hard shots from his fists to GBL's cheeks and chin, firing live rounds at the man to an excited crowd!

A few shots and GBL found himself backing off, holding the side of his head with a peculiar grin. To think this guy still was fighting hard this much. Fighting for the gold? Fighting for his life? Or fighting a newfound demon that haunted him? Amusing thoughts, but he wouldn't have that time to think. Instead, he would re-close the distance with a knee shot aimed for the stomach.

Salem was shooting knuckles at GBL's head, staggering him a second but catching a knee to the gut for his troubles, groaning and turning to put his hands on the edge of the ring and support himself!

With Salem up against the apron and finished with those shots, the Eclipse would give a small twirl around in place before moving next to Salem to rest up against the ring apron himself, back first. "How's the dream? Quite the nightmare, isn't it?" he had questioned before turning himself around to grab the head of Salem and spike it to the apron.

GBL was flaunting over Salem, antagonizing him with word and deed, drawing the ire of Croft's fans before slamming his face into the ring edge, causing the Scoundrel King to staggera few steps, keeping one hand on the apron. He then chuckled, laughing a couple times in the daze of pain and adrenaline.
"You haven't SEEN my nightmare yet, you moon fairy ********> he said, looking back at GBL with a sadistic grin.

Moon fairy— oh yes, this was a good sign. One that had him snickering over the matter. A lift of his hand as he motioned for Salem to come along. “I think I already have.. C’mon”

Salem let a laugh crack out of his chest as GBL urged him on, the Gypsy Savage straightening up and standing on his own accord while turning to face his opponent. The referee had gotten to the count of three, but Croft didn't care - instead approaching 'The Eclipse' and jaw-jacking a bit before snapping a stiff leg up for a sudden Superkick, aiming to stun and disorient his enemy!
