Team Name: V.L.I.
Team Members: Jonathan Bacchus & Grace Leary
Combined Weight: 350 lbs
Team Entrance Music: “Death of Peace of Mind” by Bad Omens
Team Entrance:
The lights in the arena cut out as the opening notes of “The Death of Peace of Mind” begin to play over the P.A. On the tron, a white crucifix frame by an inverted triangle strikes out of a solid black background. The symbol splits, the individual lines forming three letters: VLI.
As Noah Sebastian’s vocals begin, two spotlights hit opposite ends of the stage. Beneath one walks Grace Leary, dressed in an all-black suit and turtleneck with a white Melpomene mask. From the other side of the stage and under the second spotlight walks Jonathan Bacchus, dressed in matching attire with a white Thalia mask and black baseball bat draped over his shoulder. The lights go black once more, and with each hit of the echoing 808, the spotlights flash to reveal the pair approaching one another. Joined together under an icy blue spotlight, the pair look down the ramp towards the ring. The two reach up to remove their masks and then make eye contact before looking back.
The lights explode in a strobe burst before coming fully on as the song kicks into its groove. The two stalk down the ramp, both faces masks of quiet intensity and determination.
Announcer: And making their way to the ring, weighing in at a combined 350 lbs…. the team of Jonathan Bacchus and Grace Leary. They are V.L.I!
At the base of the ramp, they split off and circle the ring in opposite directions as the chorus of their theme explodes over the speakers. Once meeting at the opposite corner, they remove their coats and Jonathan rests his bat against the ring steps. They ascend the stairs and Jonathan steps up onto the middle rope to hold it down so Grace can slink through, and he vaults himself over the top to join her. They stalk the ring, eyeing their adversaries with quiet intensity before they take to the corner.
At the corner, Jonathan pulls himself up to stand on the middle rope as Grace removes the turtleneck to reveal her ring attire beneath. Looking out over the crowd, Bacchus takes in the reaction. He pulls off his own turtleneck and discards it to the outside, turning to sit on the top turnbuckle as he glowers at their adversaries. A quiet, confident smile parses both their lips as the lights slowly come on.
Team Style:
V.L.I.’s modus operandi is simple: strike fast, strike hard, strike intelligently. Neither Jonathan or Grace are particularly stout individuals, so it’s not unfair to describe this team as a glass cannon. What they lack in size and raw strength, they make up for in speed and strategy. This team fights to win as efficiently as possible – they do not outright cheat, but they are perfectly comfortable with coming as close to crossing the line as possible.
Common Team Moves (please list 5):
-Camel Clutch -> Running shin kick, dropkick, or knee to the head (executed by either)
-Assisted Shining Wizard
-Wheelbarrow Facebuster (Bacchus) -> Cutter (Leary)
-Double team Wing Snapper
-Running shotgun dropkicks to a single opponent from opposite sides
-Double running V Trigger to a cornered opponent
-V-Trigger/619
Tag Finisher Set Up w/ description:
-Literally just throwing the partner of their target into the crowd or booting them off the apron. In fact, they’ll even happily throw their target as well and win by count-out.
-Assisting the other in a singles finisher: either Grace spiking the opponent’s legs for the Tragedy at Buffalo or Jonathan hoisting Grace for the O Daughter of Babylon
Tag Finisher w/ Description:
The Second Coming – Meet Defeat (Bacchus)/Curb Stomp (Leary) simultaneously.
