ENTRANCE DESCRIPTION
THEME SONG: "The Bloodletting” by Concrete Blonde
ENTRANCE DESCRIPTION (OPTIONAL): As their entrance music begins to play, the lights in the arena are completely extinguished. Moments later, a pair of spotlights shine on opposite sides of the entrance area, as Ambrosius and Valentine rise from seemingly prone positions. Both men have their arms crossed at their chests and their eyes remain closed until they reach a vertical position. Their eyes snap open simultaneously and they begin to walk toward the center of the entrance, meeting each other in the middle with a pair of sinister smiles. Valeria then makes her entrance, seductively walking between the two men before leading them towards the ring.
Ambrosius and Valentine take their time walking toward the ring side-by-side, both staring straight ahead and grinning as Valeria walks a few feet ahead and the camera seems to back away from the trio. Upon reaching the ring, Ambrosius walks up one set of ring steps while Valentine moves to the steps on the opposite side of the ring. They both step between the ropes while Valeria slides into the ring, and the two men move behind her as she remains on her hands and knees. Both men begin to raise their arms at their sides, palms facing upwards, and the lights return to full illumination along with their symbolic gesture.
Once the lighting has returned to normal, Valeria slides back under the ropes while Ambrosius and Valentine move to their corner of the ring and begin to remove their entrance coats. They hand the garments over the top rope to Valeria, and then turn back to bare their fangs as a symbolic warning.
CHAMPION ENTRANCE DESCRIPTION (OPTIONAL): As their entrance music begins to play, the lights in the arena are completely extinguished. Moments later, a pair of spotlights shine on opposite sides of the entrance area, as Ambrosius and Valentine rise from seemingly prone positions. Both men have one of the championship belts laying across their chests with their arms crossed over them and their eyes remain closed until they reach a vertical position. Their eyes snap open simultaneously, they both place their championship over one of their shoulders, and they begin to walk toward the center of the entrance, meeting each other in the middle with a pair of sinister smiles. Valeria then makes her entrance, seductively walking between the two men before leading them towards the ring.
Ambrosius and Valentine take their time walking toward the ring side-by-side, both staring straight ahead and grinning as Valeria walks a few feet ahead and the camera seems to back away from the trio.

They both step between the ropes while Valeria slides into the ring, and the two men move behind her as she remains on her hands and knees. Both men begin to raise their arms with their championship belt gripped in both hands, and the lights return to full illumination along with their symbolic gesture.
Once the lighting has returned to normal, Valeria slides back under the ropes while Ambrosius and Valentine move to their corner of the ring and begin to remove their entrance coats. They hand the garments and titles over to Valeria on the outside of the ring, and then turn back to bare their fangs as a symbolic warning.

BIOGRAPHY
Since appearing on the professional wrestling scene, Ambrosius and Valentine have been particularly secretive regarding their origins and lives prior to the wrestling business. Both men have proven to be tremendous athletes and more than capable of finding success without being straddled with their current gimmick. However, they remain strangely dedicated to the gothic lifestyle they present on camera and go out of their way to keep up appearances away from the ring. Both men, along with their manager, Valeria, have enlarged and sharpened incisors, which many believe have been permanently implanted through surgical means. Whatever their origins may be, it is unlikely that Ambrosius, Valentine, and Valeria will willingly reveal them any time soon.
ACCOMPLISHMENTS
