Illegal underground fights satisfy the crowd. Tonight, the streets were filled with wrestlers looking for honor and prize money, and spectators betting on them.
The basketball court is empty during the day, but at night it transforms into a makeshift fighting arena. Spray-painted graffiti on the brick walls, cracked concrete ground, no safety mats, only a wire mesh separating the spectators from the wrestlers. The crowd was money and blood thirsty, cheering for the wrestler they bet on, seriously considering who would win. When the previous match was over and the bloodied loser was carried out on a stretcher, the next match was immediately announced. The voice of the black ring announcer echoed from building to building over the speakers stacked in the van.
One team was Asian and they were announced as coming from Japan. The young men and women were dressed in tiger-print costumes, their skin tanned and their eyes glowing suspiciously in search of prey. The women wore separate bikinis and the men wore pants that emphasized their crotches. Crunching concrete pebbles with their black ring boots, the two Japanese men made a loud appeal. As they stepped into the metal net, the Japanese crowd, who seemed to have come for this match, cheered them on with excited voices.
The other team was made up of well-trained Americans, both with brunette hair, and some spectators carrying Italian flags mixed in with the American ones, as if they were of Italian descent. The men wore black bikini pants and the women wore orange bikinis. The women looked about the same as the Japanese, and the male wrestlers seemed to have better physiques than their opponents. They hugged each other and showed their friendship. The crowd cheering them on clapped their hands and cheered for the sexy American team.
The two teams facing each other stared at their opponents as if they were assessing them and smiled foolishly. There was no body check, but it didn't matter under the rules where weapons were thrown from the audience just like in any other match. Concrete blocks, empty bottles, and bats with barbed wire wrapped around them were thrown by the spectators. Wrestlers were allowed to use these weapons to attack their opponents...
Which team will win?
