Entance Description?

[predator]

Hey, I thought it might be cool to post your entrance description on this post. Probably save Ryan a lot of work, lol.

Here's mine for Predator:

The lights go out except for a series of red lights lining the aisle as Criss Angel's "Scarecrow" hits the PA. Predator doesn't appear until Criss Angel's words "mind . . . FREAK" are over. When he appears, he walks slowly toward the ring, stalking his opponent that is in the ring already. As soon as he gets to the ring, his opponent leaves the ring, and Predator kneels in the middle of the ring as a large black light illuminates the ring (ala Undertaker). By this time, the music has began to pick up the pace. As the music ends, the black lights go out, the lights go back on, The Predator stands, and his opponent re-enters the ring.

Cheers!

. . . and here's mine for Apocalypse:

Criss Angel's "Mindfreak" starts up and Apocalypse walks out in a straight jacket accompanied by Blake and quite large security guys. He walks down to the ring, spitting and snarling at the booing fans, occasionally laughing his ass off. He is then freed of the straight jacket and begins to climb into the ring, but notices a sign that says "Apocalypse sucks" or a fan bad-mouthing him, and tries to attack the fan. Security and Blake restrain him and shove him into the ring to await or meet his opponent.

static comes to the ring to the tune of dangerdoom's "bada bing." he climbs through the ropes and into the ring. somehow, he's getting a tremendous heel pop without having an elaborate entrance. things that make you go hmm.

Haha.

[predator]

Honestly, I'm dyin' here! This is an OOC post to be constantly contributed to, lol!

Or are Static and I the only two e-fedders who are interested in flashy entrances? I know I am!!

So bring 'em on!

I'm not entirely sure you've read Static's reply.

[Stylin' Kyle Roberts [REBEL]]

Correct, Jacob. I could tell you that Kyle Roberts has seventeen individual pyro shots and a second-by-second explanation of where it fits into his entrance music, as according to the entrance I created in Smackdown VS Raw 2k6.

However, since we are performing at NAIT (a technical school) gym, the Titantron I once referred to back when I joined this fed consists of a laptop plugged into a projector playing on a white bedsheet that Kyle Roberts' real life alter ego brought from his parents' house because they have a king-sized bed.

The entrance stage is usually a hallway that's adjoining the locker room the talent uses to change in, covered by a black curtain.

The truth is, independent federations have enough money to stage the show and MAYBE pay their talent. Wrestlers have to get over once they exit that black curtain by either slapping hands on the way to the ring, or (as Roberts would do) ignoring all the spectators who boo him and do heely things like threatening to slap a fan.

You live in Airdrie, right? Ask one of your parents to take you to a Stampede show in Calgary sometime. You'll see the difference between WWE-sized production budgets and those like PWA here in Edmonton, Stampede in Calgary, and the type of fed the Pres modeled NAPW after. It's definitely the eye-opener.

["Bad Boy" Joey Malone]

My entrance is very cool. I run out at top speed, start attacking my opponent, hoping to turn the tide to my favour early.

That's how I defeated ThePredator!

[immortal]

Correction. That's how you lost to The Predator. lol

[Ryan Ro [NAPW]]

In my mind, NAPW has enough money that things look decently slick. Like maybe ECW on TNN slick. And that NAIT gym is full ever week, much like TNA is full every week. We have 700,000 people in this city, it's doable... if the product is advertised well enough and organized enough that the casual fan can enjoy it. It helps that it's on TV in Alberta and available online via DVD and live streaming.

So it's a small indie fed that has a)full houses every show and b)Pretty good production and design asthetics.


Which brings me to my next point: Why is it that of all the people involved in wrestling promotions, none of them seem to have any talent for good artistic design? Whether it's t-shirts, web sites, posters, etc etc. I am truly impressed at the creativity of PWA's Mayhem and Tag Team Title belts, designed by Chris Steele. Unique and sexy stuff.

[Nightmare]

Well, this entrance seems to fit expectations:


The Lights go out, and when they go back on, The Nightmare and his band are in the middle of the ring with their equipment, and they basically just play Nightmare's entrance music. Very well. While they play, red spotlights shine around the arena into the audience and the aisle as a white spotlight shines on the ring.

A reference, Pres, because that's what he does to enter.

[Ryan Ro [NAPW]]

...like, dude, no. You know how much of a pain in the ass it would be for an indie fed to set up a FULL LIVE BAND to perform ONE GUY'S entrance music every time he comes out? In the ring no less? Where do they come from without the crowd seeing?

Like, dude. How exactly is the band supposed to be set up in thirty seconds. Can't be done. Have you watched Wrestlemania 17 or 21, when Motorhead plays Triple H to the ring? It is set-up LONG before the show goes on, they just don't highlight their gear.

Seriously. We don't HAVE that kind of stuff going on. We wrestle in a univeristy gymnasium.

[Nightmare]

Aight, so just have Nightmare in the ring with an electric/acoustic guitar and a microphone? Easier than what I got.

[Stylin' Kyle Roberts [REBEL]]

So, you, um, walk to the ring in silence, and then perform a concert?
