Krimson Mask is the ring name of a fairytale hunter turned psychopathic monster that currently competes for Lords of Pain Wrestling (formerly known as the Psychotic Wrestling Alliance). With Little Red Riding Hood as his demented manager, Krimson Mask has often been described as the most provocative character in e-wrestling history due to his fairytale background, facial handicaps, and spine-chilling promos. He currently possesses the LPW World Heavyweight Championship on the Insanity brand.

Once Upon a Time...
Once upon a time, in “A Land Far, Far Away”, there lived a sweet little girl who was loved by everyone in her village. The little girl was given a little cap and hood made of red velvet, which suited her so well that she would never wear anything else. She would forever be called Little Red Riding Hood.

One day, Little Red set out to her sick Grandmother’s cottage to give her something to eat. While the little girl was on her way, a Big Bad Wolf came out to greet her and asked where she was going. Being ignorant of what kind of manipulative creature she was meeting, Little Red told him that she was going to her Grandmother’s house. The Big Bad Wolf thought to himself what a nice meal the girl would make along with the old Grandmother. He deceived Little Red Riding Hood to explore the flowers in the woods while he set-out on his plan. The Big Bad Wolf arrived at the cottage and deceived the Grandmother by sounding like Little Red to gain entrance into the home and devoured the Grandmother. He then disguised himself in the old lady’s floral nightgown and waited patiently on Little Red Riding Hood. The little girl arrived only to be deceived and swallowed by the wicked animal as well.

Proud of his accomplishment, the Big Bad Wolf decided to take a nap and snored very loudly. Fortunately, a hunter named Jack Spriggins had been pursuing the beast and overheard the Wolf’s boisterous snoring. Spriggins sneaked into the cottage, took his axe, and was about to slice the Wolf in two. Just as he was about to kill the animal, Spriggins suddenly realized that the old lady might still be alive inside. The hunter snipped the Wolf’s stomach and freed Grandmother and Little Red Riding Hood. The hunter and girl quickly gathered large stones to fill inside the Wolf’s belly so when he awoke and tried to run away, he would collapse and quickly die. When the Wolf fell to his death, Spriggins took his trusty axe and cut off the Big Bad Wolf’s head to empty the predator’s blood for extra measure. The three enjoyed the cake that Little Red had brought and they lived happily ever after…

…or so that’s what everyone thought.

After the Grandmother had recomposed herself, she sternly requested to Spriggins that he protect the darling little girl for the rest of his life in exchange for an unknown favor. The hunter agreed. As time passed on, Little Red blossomed into a red-hot sex-pot. Seeing this hot piece of meat, the predators of the forest preyed after her with the hope of devouring her luscious body. Unfortunately for them, Spriggins’ hunting abilities proved valuable. The hunter stalked behind any predator that came close to the girl and would quickly slaughter them if they got too close. His slaying abilities became known throughout the kingdom for his habit of decimating beasts with his savage wrestling maneuvers and impressive axe-wielding. His slaying trademark always ended with him drawing blood from the beast’s head to cause profuse bleeding and would then pour it on his face in some sort of twisted ritual. Because of his fetish for facial blood, the hunter began wearing a dark red mask and would eventually take on the name Krimson Mask. Despite their difference in age and appearance, Krimson & Red would forever be inseparable, developing a father/daughter-like bond.

The folktales of Krimson Mask & Little Red Riding Hood became the stuff of legend. It seemed like everyone had a tall tale on how the courageous Krimson Mask had saved a village from the hands of a foul-odored giant, a repulsive-looking ogre, or even a fire-breathing dragon. But the success of the two would eventually come to an end when tragedy would strike once again. One day, while Krimson & Red were on the road, a pack of Big Bad Wolves ambushed the popular pair. The wolf-pack attacked Krimson Mask and tried to mutilate his masked face. With her protector subdued, and herself being surrounded by several Big Bad Wolves, Little Red Riding Hood was defenseless for the first time since the traumatic experience from several years before at Grandmother’s house. All Little Red remembered is hearing the voice of an unknown man before she lost consciousness.

What happened next is a mystery. Little Red could not remember what occurred. All they knew was that they found themselves in a completely new world that is nothing like there own. Due to the encounter with the Wolves, Krimson Mask’s face had been completely disfigured. His eyes and tongue were ripped out while his eyelids and lips were sewn shut. But even without his sight and voice, Mask’s other senses were enhanced, developing a radar-like sixth sense. Ever since, he has acted as a calculated, serial-killer type of monster that only wants to make people bleed for his hideous condition. As for Little Red, she no longer resembled the sweet innocent girl she had always been. The horrors and tragedies of her life have forced her mind to shatter, making her insanely demented in an extra-extroverted way. She believes the unknown man she heard was the person who had orchestrated the attack on them.

After finding a news article that featured some of the paranormal performers of the Psychotic Wrestling Alliance (and the announcement of a general manager who happened to be vacationing in a nearby town), Little Red believed that all her answers to their unknown past would be linked to the PWA. With Little Red acting as the eyes and mouth for Krimson Mask, the two hope to extract information and blood. Only they can be the authors of this twisted fairytale gone horribly wrong.

"Welcome to the PWA"
During the spring of 2006, Cher (the then-Pyromania general manager) announced that she would be taking a vacation after the Capital Punishment PPV and would need an interim GM the following night at Pyromania 9.1. She created the Escape Artist Tournament, a unique competition that featured Pyromania’s top wrestlers fighting in a number of unique matches. The winner of Escape Artist Tournament (who turned out to be Morpheus) would receive the unique opportunity of exclusively running Pyromania for the following week while Cher enjoyed her retreat. Unfortunately for Cher, the vacation went no where as planned.

During the last days of her vacation, Cher made a visit to an old friend who operated an underground wrestling organization that was on the verge of bankruptcy. As a last ditch effort to gain publicity (and hopefully cash flow), the owner and top wrestler of the company tried to publicly humiliate Cher by forcing her into their ring and leashed her like a dog in hopes of bribing the PWA. As the degradation was about to get worse, the lights in the building unexpectedly turned off. When the lights came back on, a mysterious young girl wearing a Little Red Riding Hood costume had appeared in the ring. After an eerie game of peek-a-boo by Little Red where she finished by saying “Ready or not, here HE comes”, the lights strangely turned off once again. When the lights came back on, the uncontrollable Krimson Mask was in the ring and was decapitating everyone in the ring with his axe. After just a few horrific blood-staining moments, Cher was the only person alive in the ring with the towering Krimson Mask standing over here. As Mask raised the axe over his head, the bloodbeast violently sliced off her leash instead of her head. As Cher was frantically shaking in shock, Little Red told her that Krimson Mask would be Pyromania’s newest rookie signing…whether she liked it or not. Cher was in no position to say no.

Amongst all the rumors about the incident, Krimson Mask and Little Red were officially signed to the Psychotic Wrestling Alliance. The news of Krimson Mask’s signing caused an unprecedented uproar within the PWA locker room. Never before had anyone made an introduction like Krimson Mask. Nearly every wrestler had an opinion on the monstrous hunter’s controversial entry into the company. Many wrestlers feared for their safety due to the rumors of Mask’s use of an axe, others claimed that the hunter’s actions were merely a horror spectacle to inject fear within the company, while some PWA performers even cited that they enjoyed the reported ruthless nature of the bloodbeast. Nevertheless, no one could argue that the monstrosity known as Krimson Mask was someone (or something) to fear in the Psychotic Wrestling Alliance.

The Land of Pyromania & Tale of Tommy Skittles
At Pyromania 8.2, Krimson Mask & Little Red made their first appearance in a PWA ring when Krimson Mask demolished The Chosen One by powerbombing him from the ring to the announce table. After the display of destruction, the mischievous Little Red grabbed a microphone and told the world that they wanted to be “best friends” with the “Angel of Destruction” himself, N’itomniskittel. Needless to say, the friendship got off to a rocky start at the following Vertigo show. During a 6-man tag team match that featured the mega-popular team of N’itomniskittel and the Paper Boner Men against Mike “Brawler” Nunes, S.S.D.D. & Jules, the ring canvas opened up to reveal Krimson Mask. Mask viciously attacked the superior alter-ego of Tommy Skittles while the referee was out. The fight between the two ended when Mask laid out N’itomniskittel on the Vertigo entrance stage.

The following week at Pyromania 8.3, Krimson Mask made his highly anticipated in-ring debut against Stallion. Despite a courageous effort by Stallion, Krimson Mask annihilated the former World Tag Team Champion, finishing him off with another jackknife powerbomb from the ring to the announce table. The sickening thud of Stallion’s body crashing through the table even caused color commentator Kris Marion to vomit on-screen. Mask won the contest by count-out…but he wasn’t finished. As Krimson Mask was about to continue his onslaught on his beaten opponent, N’itomniskittel ran out of the locker room to prevent any more harm.

The match between the world’s most sadistic playmates was officially inked. Krimson Mask would take on N’itomniskittel at Pyromania’s “One Way Ticket” pay-per-view. As Little Red giggled from ringside, Krimson Mask over-whelmed the “Angel of Destruction” with a load of power moves. But N’itomniskittel hanged tough and did his best to regain control of the match until Little Red jumped on the apron to catch the referee’s attention. Unfortunately for Little Red, the distraction was detected by N’itomniskittel. Skittles grabbed Little Red and gave her a juicy kiss before letting the fairytale vixen fall to the ringside floor. Red threw a hissy fit to the blind Mask about the unwarranted kiss. Enraged at what he heard, Krimson Mask ferociously picked up N’itomniskittel after a missed missile dropkick and locked on the Bloodklot submission move to block all the blood flow to Skittles’ head. After a few moments, N’itomniskittel had passed out, awarding the match to Krimson Mask. But the real news came after the match when Little Red announced that Krimson Mask and N’itomniskittel would be Pyromania teammates at the biggest show of the year, Altered Reality III.

In the night’s opening match, N’itomniskittel and Krimson Mask were teamed with the Lost Prophets (Retribution & Cyrus) to represent the Pyromania brand in a 4-on-4 tag team elimination match against Schizophrenia’s most popular stable, The Misfits (Headbanger, Trey Spruance, Edible, & T.J. Rage). Team N’itomniskittel got off to a fast start when Krimson Mask squeezed the life out of T.J. Rage with a bearhug for the night’s first elimination. Moments later, Cyrus would eliminate Edible after a Lights Out dominator. Team N’itomniskittel had a two-man advantage over the Misfits until Trey Spruance was able to connect with a double-arm DDT to send Cyrus packing. Things took a wild turn when hardcore veterans Retribution and Spruance started duking it out. Spruance was able to lacerate Retribution with a foreign object, but unfortunately for “The Dude”, Retribution was able to out-hardcore his rival by pinning him after the aid of brass knucks. Down to an insurmountable 1-on-3 disadvantage, Headbanger wasted no time in attacking the wounded Retribution and eventually made him tap to a chokehold. As Krimson Mask silently stood on the ring apron, N’itomniskittel and Headbanger battled it out in the ring. After several minutes of chain wrestling between the team captains, Headbanger was able to hit a top-rope Wicked DDT on Skittles for the pinfall to even the sides. Exhausted, fatigued, and beaten, the heroic Headbanger somehow continued his fight by battling the vicious Krimson Mask. But the might of the monster proved to be too strong. Krimson Mask trapped the exhausted Headbanger in a lethal Bloodklot to cut off the oxygen from his brain until the Misfit passed out. Much to the delight of Little Red, Krimson Mask was the sole survivor for Team N’itomniskittel and had become the first and only Pyromania wrestler to survive an inter-brand Altered Reality tag team elimination match.

Pyromania had certainly lit the spark for Krimson Mask’s wrestling career, but now the monster once known as Jack Spriggins was ready to embark on a new journey.
