Decoration of Intent

[Ripper]

One says men will look back and say

I gave birth to the Twentieth Century.

Jack the Ripper - 1888.

The scene opens up pitch back. Suddenly a match ignites the old oil burner, just before the glass cover is placed back over the top. In the small yellow illumination, the outline of a chair starts to rock back and forth. 

"One hundred and thirty-five years!"

"It has been one hundred and thirty-five years since Jack terrorized the streets of London near the Whitechapel District." 

The chair starts to rock back and forth once again. 

"History has labeled Jack, nothing more than a serial killer of female prostitutes!" 

"What most do not release is that he was on a mission to clean up the immoral streets of London. "

"Rumor has it, he was of the Medical Profession and used the tools at his disposal to try and achieve his goals." 

"More than anything, people wondered who this "Jack" was. Where did he come from? You would imagine that there would be a large-scale panic and fear."

The chair stops mid-Rock, as the oil lamp suddenly goes out. 

"Seriously! Fuck this shit." 

Suddenly the electricity light turns on directly above the rocking chair. A figure is seen hunched forward on the wooden rocking chair. He is dressed in a three-piece gray suit; white shirt and tie. Black dress shoes and black top hat. The figure's face emerged in the shadow from the rim of the hat. Only the end of the pipe glows every once in a while. 

"As it is clear. I am not Jack! No, that would make me somewhere around one hundred and fifty. This isn't the nineteenth century. " 

The figure holds his hands up and looks at them as they turn in front of him. 

"Yes, just what I thought. These are not the hands of a surgeon."

"No, I am a prize fighter, and these blunt objects are my tools. To find work I have had to apply my skills to the square circle of professional wrestling."

"It is safe to assume that there were many victims over the years."

"It is ironic that my first match for Wrestle UK will be in my hometown of London. I will be facing seven other wrestlers in a Gauntlet match of sorts. To determine a new number one contender for the Commonwealth Championship." 

"What better way to debut than taking on seven other guys? Not a bad start, on my mission to clean up Wrestle UK of the immoral. Not to mention the recent stigma surrounding the Commonwealth Championship and the man that is officially classed as the current champion." 

"An opportunity to challenge for the Commonwealth title. Many will hold this opportunity in high regard. To be fair I wouldn't blame them. The title has a lot of Prestige. Being held by such a workhorse champion like Eron Hunter. The number of times he defended the strap."

"There were many high-caliber defenses during that reign. The classic series of matches he had against Ronnie Long and Rob Riot over the summer."

"Unfortunately, as soon as the strap moved from Eron to Rob. Unfortunately, the title wasn't defended as much during this new reign. Unfortunately, many claim that one act back in Dublin has tarnished the legacy of the belt."

"Now the official champion can be seen walking around with a different strap over his shoulder. One that he claims means more than the one that is currently sitting in Mr. Blood's office."

"No wonder that this eight Man gauntlet has been set up to find a truly deserving challenger. Mr. Blood is probably sitting behind his big wooden desk, staring at that title. Hoping that the next champion shows more respect for the title and its history."

"So the hand-picked Contenders are.
Takaru Matsui. One half of the Neon Bushido. Japanese superstar. Been on a hell of a Tare as of late. With his more heelish tactics he has recently started to carve out a single career by chasing the after the British Television Championship."

"Wesley Rage, one half of the Rage and Cage. One of the more promising teams to recently join up. What makes him think that he deserves this opportunity any more than his partner Nic Cage? So far he has purely been a Tag wrestler. What makes him think that he has what it takes to hang as a single wrestler out of the blue."

"Jakie Wentzel, the returning Amish star. He has been missing from the ring for the last few months. The former enforcer for the Von Krauss Dynasty. Time we tell as to whether he is still aligned with the members of the Dynasty, or whether he will be going solo this time."

"Ace Sky the new high flier. Vladislav Volkov the Russian brute. Otto Ritter the German Technical Assassin. All of them are newish members of the roster, and all have had great success so far.
All will be looking to make their stamp on Wrestle UK."

"Grant Phillip Taylor, fellow wrestler making their in-ring debut for Wrestle UK. Yet another big guy in this match. Looking to dominate anyone in his way."

"All of them are looking to challenge Frank Windsor for the Commonwealth title. Not that fake-ass Championship he has been walking around with. Their all hope that Mr. Blood will bring that title from his office and hand it to them, well if they can beat Frank!"

The figure leans forward on the rocking chair. Removing the hat, his face still emerges in the shadows

"I am here to clean Wrestle UK up from all the immoral. All the roster can be classed as immoral in some way. So whether I lose this match, there are plenty of other targets to focus on. If I will win, that will just move my focus to one of the biggest offenders on the roster."

As the chair rocks back the light finally shines down on the figure's face. Finally showing the Skulls' face paint.

"Let me just officially introduce myself. I am not "Jack". I am just simply the Ripper!"
