Spiral vs Gasher

Announcer: Ladies and gentlemen, the two men in pit tonight will fight until only one remains standing!!! All bets for this fight are now final. Introducing first... he is a wrestler, with a record of nine wins and two losses, standing at 188 centimeters and weighing in at 90 kilograms. Ladies and gentlemen, SPIRRRRRRRALLLL!!!!

There were worn concrete steps on either side of the pit, eight in total, leading down into the oily, bloodstained hole. Spiral makes his way there without looking around, not even hearing the shouts of adulation from the crowd.

Announcer: And now... his opponent... he is a dirty brawler, with a record of one win, and zero losses, standing at 180 centimeters and weighing in at 198 kilograms. Ladies and gentlemen... GASHERRRRRRRR!!

Gasher grins, raising his glass-encrusted fists to the air as the crowd goes wild. Somewhere in the distance, a bell ring, and Spiral rushed at Gasher, connecting with a left hook to the cheek. Blood sprays and Gasher drives into his opponent and tries to pull him out to flatten. Spiral, though, won't budge. After a scramble, Gasher takes his opponent's back. Spiral tries to roll over and eats a few punches before he finally makes the roll. Both men are covered in broken glass and blood. Gasher, though, is now in the dominant mount position. Spiral, though, escapes to his feet and excites the crowd. Spiral picks up Gasher and dramatically slams him down. Working from the top position, Spiral can do little as Gasher ties up his hands. Finally, Spiral unloads a combo, but Gasher clinches and the two jockey for position against the wall, the barbed wire shredding Gasher's shirt. The battle for underhooks is won by Spiral, who drags Gasher to the ground. Spiral swings a fist and Gasher's head snaps back, a good portion of his jaw missing. Spiral swings his fist again and this time Gasher blocks with his forearm as he scuttles backwards. Spiral doesn't let up and is on him immediately, and this time the fist connects with Gasher's chin, sending him crashing into the barbed wire wall. He catches there.

As the referee raises Spiral's hand in victory, his opponent lying bleeding and unconscious on the mat behind them, a single gunshot rings out over the area.

BLAM!

The crowd instantly panics and disperses, running like hell for the exits as Spiral falls to his knees inside the pit. From the vantage point it is impossible to tell if Spiral has been hit, or where the single bullet was fired from.
