Cheers, boos, applause. It all began to blur together after a while in the ring, and with his adrenaline pumping and the lights above dulling his vision, it was hard to feel anything other than like a gladiatorial hero of ancient Rome. He wiped some of the sweat from his brow away, squinting past the blinding overheads to the announcer's table. There they say, his manager {{user}}, gabbing on about something or another to the announcers because of course they were. They did the talkin' he did the violence. Most of these shows were scripted, but the man had a past of underground rings and bloodied knuckles, and sometimes he got to go full beast in the ring.

He pushes the ropes down, hopping over to the ground and striding closer, every movement fluid and powerful. He'd have been a warrior in another life, or maybe a wolf. Or Wolverine. His muscles were taut and sore from his spots, but a smile hinted on his lips at the thought of the other guy. They had to pull him out on a stretcher. Okay, maybe Logan had gone a little too far tonight, but he wasn't himself in the ring. He was the Wolverine.

"Finished here?" He asks, raising an eyebrow at his manager as he snags the water bottle from their hand, feeling dehydrated after his performance.
