Visually speaking, the American style wrestling looked intense with swift and powerful movements, but in fact, it was mostly a performance. Even the fighting venue had been specially treated.
Apart from having strong muscles, basic wrestling techniques, and grappling techniques, the contestants had to have. Victory and defeat were almost always carried out according to a pre-arranged script.
In the script, the wrestlers were rigidly divided into two sides, good and evil. They were given the identities of honest cowboy, stubborn Mafia members, mean and sinister bankers … and so on. They fought in the ring with their bare hands.
Although most of the audience knew that it was fake, they still enjoyed it.
The reason why this combat sport attracted so much attention even though the audience knew that it was just a show was because every time a competition was held, the organizers would rack their brains and take the initiative to arrange it.
Before the competition, the contestants' entrance would have an extremely dazzling stage effect.
In the competition, the contestants' movements were exaggerated, wild, and smooth. It looked thrilling, exciting, and pleasing to the eye.
Moreover, because the competition system was different, they often fought from the stage to the stage, and even used folding chairs, baseball bats, and other tools to fight. If they were not careful, blood and flesh would fly. The scene was thrilling, and people couldn't help but pay attention to it.
Then, amidst the loud music and artificial smoke, the two contestants slowly entered the arena, causing the entire stadium to burst into thunderous applause.
Unfortunately, the good times didn't last long. When the competition officially started, those who knew that the first round of the fighting competition was usually for the newcomers to go on stage to warm up the crowd, and those who were considered to be at the bottom of the rankings quickly got distracted.
If they weren't buying snacks and drinks, they were eagerly discussing the upcoming exciting battle with their companions.
The applause and cheers for the first match were sparse.
On the contrary, it was Zhang Lisheng's first time watching an American wrestling competition live. He had no idea about the complicated rules of the competition and which legendary stars were among the contestants. He found it very interesting when he saw the two rookies fighting with all their might in the ring. They even climbed the ring's fence from time to time and leaped into the air to attack.
"Tina, they're fighting very fiercely. Look, their eardrums are bleeding. I don't think they're acting."
Hearing the young man inadvertently breaking the taboo, Tina quickly reminded him, "Hey baby, don't be so loud.
They're acting, but the bleeding is real. Sometimes, it's also real that their bones are broken. That's why you can't say it's a fake competition when you're watching a wrestling competition in the stadium. Otherwise, you'll be spat on. "
"But there's a contradiction in your words."
"There are a lot of contradictions in human society. This is life. Watch the competition carefully, baby. This kind of warm-up competition is an 'iron man competition'. It will end in 20 minutes. The more exciting part is yet to come."
The first match was just like what the girl said. Very soon, it ended with the Little Cowboy, Dondin Grace's victory.
After that, the number of contestants on the stage gradually increased, and there were also a few hot beauties in bikinis and tight leather pants interspersed in the six-person competition, which aroused the fanaticism of the male audience.
However, as the stadium became, he, Zhang Lisheng, he saw the competition. Zhang Lisheng, and he Zhang.
By the time all the preliminary matches were over and the most eye-catching and decisive match was about to begin, he was already absent-minded.
The highlight of the match was about to begin. The lights of Madison Square Garden dimmed once again, and the scene quieted down. The host rushed to the ring again. Under the spotlight, he shouted, "Ladies and gentlemen, the most exciting moment is coming!
From now on, will the sun rule this stadium or will it be the believers of Satan?
Now, let us welcome the soul of justice who walks in the darkness, the epic hero who uses the power of evil to defend the light, the Beheader, Black Gus … "
In the host's hoarse shout, a dull and gloomy funeral song resonated in the stadium.
After a series of low exclamations, a yellowish lens flashed on the big screen. Gradually, a long-haired strong man with arms that were as strong as an ordinary person's thighs appeared clearly. One of his hands was tightly wrapped around the neck of a muscular burly man while the other hand was holding onto the beam of a huge cross that was nearly five meters high.
"The Beheader! It's the Beheader! Lisheng! He's the strongest hero in the wrestling field right now! He has not been defeated for 400 days!" Tina looked at the screen and could not help but shout excitedly.
"Is that so?" Zhang Lisheng looked at the screen curiously and carefully watched the appearance of the big star that was much more exciting than a nobody, completely ignoring the dark hero, the Beheader, who was entering the arena amidst the cheers of the audience.
Naturally, it was impossible for the person who could fight against the Beheader to be a nobody. By the time the expressionless hero of justice, who was more than two meters tall with a beheading frame tattooed on his muscular chest, slowly walked up to the ring.
Under the host's introduction, the fallen hero of the past, 'Flaming Captain' Herb Parson, walked up to the ring expressionlessly in the midst of the audience's boos and sighs of pity as well as the continuous gunfire and the roar of helicopters on the stadium's big screen.
"He's the US Captain, Herb Parson. He was the pillar of the justice wrestlers last year.
Don't underestimate him just because his body is inconspicuous among the wrestlers, but his movement is the fastest. He also has two powerful ultimate moves, the Lava Fist and the Magma Sweep, that are very powerful.
Unfortunately, he fell in love with the evil Spider Woman half a year ago and turned to the evil side. However, I think that sooner or later, he'll be able to see through the ugly true face of the Spider Woman and return to justice … "
When Tina saw that the two generals of good and evil had appeared, she stared at the ring in high spirits while explaining the origins of both parties to Zhang Lisheng without stopping.
"Yes, yes …" The young man answered perfunctorily. Staring at the fight that had begun in the ring, his feet stepped on the stainless steel guardrail in front of him. Unknowingly, his mind had already wandered away.
After the transformation, his weak body had finally obtained a qualitative improvement. Subconsciously, his mood of making a breakthrough in witchcraft as his first priority was swept away right away.
It just so happened that it was now the winter vacation, so he had a lot of time to squander. The idea of returning to his hometown to have a look suddenly rose in the young man's heart.
In fact, Zhang Lisheng had always remembered that when he left the Guawo Village, he had told Uncle Ah Lie, who took good care of him, that he would often return to the mountain village to have a look even if he stayed in the US for a long time. However, the various accidents that happened after he left the US and the time he spent cultivating in order to protect himself made him have no choice but to break his promise.
When the young man was letting his imagination run wild, the fight between the Beheader and the Flaming Captain on the ring had already reached its climax.
The Beheader, who originally had the upper hand on the scene and had an overwhelming advantage in terms of size and height against the Flaming Captain, was provoked by his opponent. Furiously, he swung his fists but was dodged by the Flaming Captain agilely. At the same time, he retaliated with a huge swing of his fist on the Beheader's chin.
In this punch, the scene of a volcanic eruption suddenly appeared on the big screen of the stadium. Thousands of spectators stood up and exclaimed, "Lava Fist! It's the Lava Fist …"
Upon being attacked by the swing of his fist, the Beheader cried out in pain and staggered backward. Leaning his back against the fence of the ring, he held his head and seemed to be in a trance.
At this time, the Flaming Captain seized the opportunity to run up and leap high. With a flying kick in midair, he hit the Beheader's ribs and sent him flying out of the ring.
"Oh my God! It's the Lava Sweep! The Lava Sweep!
The Flaming Captain is going to win … "Accompanied by the shouts of the entire audience, the scene of a sea of fire flashed on the big screen of the stadium.
After falling from the ring that was more than one meter high, the Beheader seemed to have woken up right away. With a leap, he flipped himself up from the ground and roared angrily at the Flaming Captain who was chasing after him, scaring the enemy away. Without warning, he turned around and rushed to the front row of the auditorium. Grabbing the shiny metal fence, he was about to pull it out and use it as a weapon.
Even though the audience knew that the final finale of the match was a ruleless competition, which meant that there were no restrictions and that one could fight from the ring to the bottom of the ring, or even to the backstage, grabbing anything to attack the opponent along the way, many spectators could not help but scream.
However, when the gigantic figure of the Beheader rushed in front of them like an evil god, many spectators could not help but scream.
At this time, an extremely absurd thing suddenly happened. The muscles on the Beheader's entire body tightened as he pulled the fence, but the bright silver metal fence did not budge at all.
Then, in the first row of the auditorium, a young man who looked very thin and weak facing the Beheader waved his hand like a fly.
The Beheader, who weighed at least 300 pounds, flew six to seven meters away as though he was hit by a cannonball. With a loud 'bang', he crashed into the ring and fell to the ground, without making any sound at all.
The Madison Square Garden stadium was stunned. The first thought that came to the minds of many spectators was that the NWA was planning to introduce a super powerful new dark hero to the Evil Alliance.
However, this kind of power that could kill the Beheader in one hit was very difficult to balance. It was inevitable that the Justice Federation would design an opponent with a similar strength.
At this time, Zhang Lisheng, who was suddenly disturbed by the wrestler in his daze and subconsciously blocked the Beheader but ended up sending the Beheader flying away, had already snapped back to reality. Turning his body sideways, he lowered his head to block his face.
They were all around him. "Isn't this too much …"
"Is that kid Superman?"
"This is a technique! Black Gus took the initiative to jump back …" and so on.
After two to three seconds, Tina also snapped back to reality. Standing up from her seat, she whispered to her companion, "Let's go." Using her body to block Zhang Lisheng, she squeezed into the VIP passage while the cameras in the stadium were attracted by the Beheader who had fallen to the ground.
