Ain't About the Money hits as the lights in the arena dim and blue and white lights begin to flash. The WWFG fans might be a bit surprised at the theme, unless they followed the man into his further ventures after the last Wrestlemania. Speaking of which, the man in question, Drako, steps out to a blast of cheers from the crowd.
"Making his way to the ring, from St. Louis, Missouri, weighing in at 200 pounds, Drako!!1"
Drako stands for a moment looking out into the fans. This is his first time back in his ring gear in roughly two years, and now he has an interesting goal to reach. Finally, he heads down the ramp, making his way to the ring with a bit of pep in his step. He hops up onto the apron and steps into the ring through the ropes, and for old times sakes, spins and stops in the center, then strikes his old pose as pyro shoots off behind him. Finally he straightens up and removes his vest, then turns and leans against a turnbuckle while waiting for the arrival of his opponent

"War" by King Von started to play on the speakers, the soft, dulcet keys of the piano contrasted by Von's scathing, biting delivery, bolstered and bounced by the snare and bass. Smoke spilled out onto the stage, beginning to billow and thicken as what looked like electricity crackled in the mist, flashes of light illuminating a silhouetted figure standing in the storm.
"...And his opponent, weighing in at two-hundred and thirty-five pounds...the Nap Town Nightmare, Salem Croft!"
The crowd popped loudly as the announcer finished their ring introduction, big bursts of pyro pluming around the stage that both lit Salem up fully for the audience and dispersed the mist that had obscured him. Fists taped, he was bare chested and sported a MMA style ensemble, black shorts and a robe emblazoned with golden embroidery of a copperhead that weaved around his trunks and cloak.
Descending the ramp, Salem bumped knuckles with various fans along ringside, but didn't slow his pace, marching with a determined aura to the ring and up the apron steps, wiping his athletic shoes on the canvas before ducking the top rope and approaching the corner where Drako waited. His music still going, Salem offered a hand to Drako, the audio cutting off as the bell rang and Salem waited for a return of the sporting gesture from his opponent.

Drako raises an eyebrow at Salem. It's a different approach, especially compared to the last time they faced each other. But it's been a few years and no need to hold grudges before the bell even rings. Drako shakes his hand, returning the gesture. Fans have to wonder how much different things will be in this encounter compared to the last. But hey, at least Drako has a fully functional arm this time

Salem nodded as the Young Dragon reciprocated the sportsmanship, backing up to the center of the ring with a smooth shuffle, knowing the niceties were about to end. Salem had fought with and alongside Drako in the past, but in the present, Croft wanted to just do what it took to win. Let the fight play out, don't escalate into full blown violence right away. Instead, Salem got in a collar and tie up stance, holding his hands ready and gesturing as though seeing whether Drako wished to lock up.

refreshing to see a lock up start a match, and Drako is more than willing to go into the lock up with Salem. Salem does have him by about 35 pounds, so best not to try to overpower him, as he would quickly look to take his arm into an arm wrench

Drako wasted no time trying to twist up his arm, pulling at Salem's joints and muscles painfully! Desperate to not give Drako any time to establish a grip and take the advantage, Salem would flip forward and twist Drako's arm in the process, dragging the dragon toward him while using his other arm to establish a front-facing headlock!

Perhaps a bit of ring rust has kicked in here, as Salem escapes Drako's hold, then yanks him in and locks him in a front facing headlock. It's a simple hold, and not always immediately escapable. It does take a few seconds before he attempts to pry some space between Salem's arm and his head, then slip out and around him. From here he would attempt to catch him in a rear waistlock takedown

Drako was slippery, squirming free from the headlock and swiveling around Salem, trying to lift him by the waist and drag him down to the mat! Digging his thumbs into Drako's clenched hands, Croft tried to break the waistlock and spin away from Drako - but still have hold of one of the dragon's hands, in hopes to whip him into the ropes with a firm arm drag!

to say Drako is surprised that Salem is going hold for hold with him is an understatement, he's only ever been on the other side of absolute brutality from the man. Salem escapes the waistlock and a quick arm drag snaps Drako across the ring, He rolls through and pops back up, but wisely chooses not to charge in. instead he takes a moment to shake his arm to keep the circulation going.
"Good one."

Salem felt his blood pumping after that exchange, his ignition switch turning on while the crowd cheered for both men. Stretching his own arm that Drako had wrenched earlier, Salem smirked, giving Drako a sharky grin as he adjusted his posture, ready for quick movement from his feet.
"Heh. I think I got a better one in me, just you wait." he replied, stretching his arms out and gesturing Drako to approach. "Think you can make a Redskin red-chested?" he dared, challenging Drako to a new test.

Drako is moderately certain he'd chopped the man before. Maybe, it was kind of a fight.
"Ask and you shall receive, this time."
With that Drako approaches and would aim to honor Salem's request, aiming a hard knife edged chop across his chest

The crowd gasped as the sound of chopped meat rings out through the arena, Salem grunting and taking a step back with his forward foot from the sting of the impact. The burst of pain lit his eyes up, Salem's smirk turning into a full blown smile as he stepped forward to return the favor!

It's been a while since Drako has had the favor of his chops returned. As this one rings throughout the arena, Drako also takes a step back and lets out a small hiss. Guess it's time to answer the question of whether the black guy or the native will end up red chested first, as Drako looks to fire back with a second, harder chop

Salem could tell Drako was upping the ante, bracing as the Young Dragon swung once more with emphasis! The second chop connected with Salem's chest, popping the crowd and causing Croft to clutch his pectoral muscles a little, stepping forward a little as he tried to shake off the ache and inflict some of his own, smacking Drako's chest with a hard open-handed slap, meant to knock the wind from the smaller man's lungs!
