Adin Helms (Play-by-Play Commentary):
...And that's the three count, Angel Fantasma making short work of Kyler Steel.
PJ Quest (Color Commentary):
Fantasma definitely not working by the hour tonight, and there you see him jaw-jacking with the crowd again.
Helms:
Never at a loss of words, that much is certain. I can't say I understand him but I would expect something...self-affirming, shall we say.
Quest:
How long do you suppose it takes him to apply that, you know, that skull makeup anyway?
Helms:
Probably a lot longer than it took him to win this match. Well coming up later tonight we've go -
[Arena lights darken]
Crowd:
(Perks up)
Quest:
What's going on?
Helms:
I have no idea but we can't see a thing in here, bear with us, folks.
["Heaven" begins playing]
Crowd:
(Intensifies)
Quest:
Wait a minute, that...that music...!
[Partial lighting returns]
Crowd:
(Electrifies)
Helms:
...Who the hell is that in the ring?
Quest:
Oh my go - that's -
The Judgment:
(Pointing to Fantasma) READY. (Pointing to Nyra) READY. (Pointing skyward) FIGHT.
[Otherworldly bell sounds from the distance]
Quest:
My god, that's Nyra! The Murder Demon is here in UPW!
Helms:
Good lord, what a shotgun dropkick to Fantasma, he's got no idea what's happening and neither do I!
Quest:
Nyra and Fantasma! Nyra and Fantasma! Angel Fantasma needs to gather himself NOW!
Crowd:
Holy shit! Holy shit! Holy shit!
Helms:
Nyra charging at Fantasma - Angel with the hip toss - Nyra landing on his feet, unreal!
Quest:
Holy f - what a kick! Fantasma is rocked!
Helms:
I still don't understand what's going on here, i-is this a match?! And who's that other...other individual in the ring?
Quest:
Nyra, the Spirit of Violence from the East, here in the flesh with his personal enforcer - oh!
Helms:
This...Nyra just missing with that double stomp, jumping over the sweep kick from Fantasma...Angel ducking the roundhou - oh, caught with another on the back end, Fantasma hasn't been able to get out of the gates since this...this 'match' began!
Quest:
Fantasma being smart, rolling out of the ring, giving himself a breather.
Helms:
But look out behind him, Nyra sprinting to the ropes...!
Quest:
Tope Con Hilo!
Helms:
No! Fantasma dodged - and my god, Nyra landing on his feet again!
Quest:
Is this for real?!
Helms:
Nyra with that front flip all the way to the outside of the ring as Angel was moving out of the way and landed on his...god damn feet!
Quest:
Angel getting back into the ring, Nyra glaring at him from over his shoulder - look at that face! How often is it that Fantasma isn't the scariest looking guy here?
Angel Fantasma (Beckoning to Nyra):
Tráelo, perra!
Quest:
The Angel of the Southern Sky wants more!
Helms:
My god, Nyra leaping right into the ring from the floor! Angel coming at him, Nyra ducks the lariat, Angel off the ropes, Nyra with the toss - Oh!
Quest:
Fantasma with one-for-one, landing on his feet - HUELGO DEL MUERTO!
Crowd:
(Explodes)
Helms:
Angel with the Huelgo Del Muerto wheel kick! The cover!
The Judgment:
ONE...
Quest:
A kickout at one?!
Helms:
Angel hit Nyra with his best shot, and...
Quest:
...And the Murder Demon kicked out at one! But I think...that might be the first time anyone's even scored a pin attempt on Nyra!
Helms:
Nyra already back to his feet! And - look at Angel, connecting with the drop kick, just to keep Nyra down. And now Fantasma, poised in the corner, loading up with something...Nyra back to his feet, Fantasma taking off after him - OH!!!
Quest:
Holy sh - Heartstopper! To a standing Fantasma my god...!
Helms:
Nyra with that double stomp to the chest, crushing Angel into the mat right out of a sprint, my god, I've never seen anything like...here's the count!
The Judgment:
ONE. TWO. THREE.
[Unearthly bell rings]
Quest:
...Wow.
(Music fades out)
The Judgement:
(Points solemnly at Nyra)
[Lights dim]
Helms:
...What did we just see?

Thanks for listening, I'd always wished this one got some more feedback. I suppose the progression does kind of have a similar vibe to At Doom's Gate as you mentioned, I never really considered that. That said, the actual inspirations are Akuma's theme from SSTII (I've taken a LOT of inspiration from Akuma's various themes) and a little bit of the boss music from the original Shadow Warrior, "Shadow Raver." I wanted it to feel like an appropriate song for a character who is, essentially, like a secret character in a video game, an encounter that's very intense, and ludicrously difficult, something that says "This is the fight of your life."
There's an updated version of this song here, with a few new effects thrown in and some changed mixing (The drums are a bit too strong on this original version I think): https://www.furaffinity.net/view/46707369/

Oh nice! I never considered Akuma! I can hear the inspiration from Shadow Raver certainly, especially in regards to its fast section. I also personally feel a bit of nostalgia for that "secret super-difficult video game character" feeling. They don't really make secret characters anymore.
I'll check out the new song shortly!
