MUSIC
ENTRANCE
A piano begins to play the familiar arpeggio progression of Schubert’s masterpiece, Ellens Gesang III. After four bars, as the world renown opera singer Renee Fleming begins to sing Ave Maria, Gorgo walks out of the tunnel and out onto stage in the Gi she wore at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, with the gold medal she won there hanging from her neck.The gentle music, which is a stark contrast to her violent nature in the ring, serenades her slow walk to the ring. The fans cheer, or they boo, neither matters to her, as she reaches the bottom of the ramp. For a moment she only stands there, staring coldly at her opponent inside the squared circle, until she removes her black belt and then her Gi, which is handed off to a waiting official. Underneath, she wears her standard fight gear of a black and yellow Reebok sports bra with matching leggings and knee-high boots. She rolls her black-taped wrists before approaching the ring and climbing up onto the apron.
As the singer continues to cantillate the timeless melody, Gorgo steps through the ropes before walking to the center of the ring. After giving one last grimace at her opponent, she looks out over the people and then finally into the hard camera. She then slowly raises her hands outward and balls her hands into rock-hard fists, until her music slowly fades beneath the sounds of the rabid fans.
STYLE
Gorgo’s career in combat sports began in judo at an early age at the encouragement of her father. She also trained in jiu-jitsu, kickboxing and karate. She won several judo tournaments throughout her teenage years, and that success led her to the 2020 Olympics where she solely represented Moldova in judo. In the final round, she defeated arch-rival Shori Hamada for the gold medal.After Tokyo, she competed in several European MMA leagues, going undefeated, but also began to train for professional wrestling. When in the ring, she uses all of her previous combat experiences to put forth a unique offense combining judo, kickboxing and professional wrestling, chaining together dangerous strikes, devastating throws and submissions, and masterful grapples.
FINISHER
DEATH CLUTCH, aka DESUKURATCHI (デスクラッチ) – Dragon SleeperGorgo has three versions of this classic choke and neck crank for different situations.
With Body Scissors
This variant is useful against opponents significantly larger than her. She locks the opponent in an inverted face lock, then from behind wraps her legs around their waist and drags them down to the mat.
From the Camel Clutch
This variant is used against opponents around her size, up to 240 lbs. With the opponent face down on the mat, she stomps straight on their spine. When the opponent flinches, she sits down on their back, pulls their arms back over her legs like a camel clutch, but then reaches over their head and under their arm to lock in the dragon sleeper.
From the Surfboard
The most vicious version of this move is used against opponents under six feet. With the opponent on their stomach, she locks their lower legs around hers then grabs both their arms. She then falls backward, until they are vertical on their knees. From there, rather than continue to the surfboard submission, she reaches up and snakes her arm around their throat and under their arm, locking in the dragon sleeper.
DESPERATION FINISHER
AS ABOVE SO BELOW – Emerald FlowsionSitout Side Powerslam Brainbuster. This move can be set up by any situation where the opponent is hanging over her right shoulder. Primarily, she sets up the finisher by picking the opponent up into a fireman's carry with their head to her right. She then spins to her right shoulder and then flips them forward, driving them neck and shoulder first into the mat.
STORY
My name is Yelena Gorgo and my father was Niels Gram, though he preferred to go by the name the world better knows him as: Spiral.He met my mother in Denmark, who was a ballet dancer on tour with the Moldovan National Opera Ballet. They were never together, but he was a constant presence in my life, unlike my half-brother Nathan, who you may know as Jack Moreau. Jack was put up for adoption after birth by his mother and grew up never knowing our father. I, on the other hand, spent every summer with Spiral, and often was visited by him throughout the rest of the year when his schedule permitted. For his own reasons, he never revealed his children to the world during his life, likely due to the fact that his enemies would have tried to use us against him, but that’s a different story for another day.
One of the earliest memories I have of my father is him educating me on the skeletal structure of the human hand. There are twenty seven bones in total with fourteen phalanxes making up the fingers. They’re porous, he taught me, littered with tiny holes that make them weak and useless, but repeated trauma reforms them. Fills the pockets in with hard calcium. Makes them dense and hard as hammers.
He would stand to the side as I fixated on the crumbling mortar and brick of a wall. “This is your target,” he told me. “Imagine your own face staring back at you. Grinning ear to ear, haw-hawing at you, mocking you, telling you how pathetic and lost you are. You’ll never be anything. You’ll never accomplish anything. You are destined to be just another little ant. A speck among billions of others.”
“It’s a lie,” he said. “You are special. You are unique. Now prove it.”
I punched my face with abandon, fueled by an uncompromising violence. Over and over, systematically alternating from right to left. I can still hear the soggy, spattering thuds of my flesh smacking against the brick and the crunch of bones breaking, and see the pride in my father’s face when I showed him my mutilated hands.
I was eight years old. I repeated this lesson many times after. My hands are now concrete. Every time I hit someone, bones don’t just break. They obliterate. Orbital sockets. Jaws. Noses. Teeth. My hands still hurt but the lesson continues. Every time I break my fingers I become something less human. Something savage. Barbarous. The destroyer my father was, reborn in his daughter.
This is my story and it won’t be pleasant for you.
