Welcome to Gaia! ::

As the opening riffs of Metallica's Don't Tread On Me begin to play, the lights in the arena switch to an alternating green and brown hue. A billowing American flag appears on the titantron with the words "Major Devastation" appearing in the foreground over the USMC Eagle, Globe and Anchor logo.

He rises slowly from below the stage with the SCW International Championship fastened around his waist and lifts a US flag high over his head in his left hand. As the lift stops, Major Devastation salutes the crowd as red, white and blue fountains of sparks spray around him before making his way down the ramp.

DON'T TREAD ON ME!
SAY DON'T TREAD ON ME!

LIBERTY OR DEATH
WHAT WE SO PROUDLY HAIL
ONCE YOU PROVOKE HER,
RATTLING OF HER TAIL

NEVER BEGINS IT
NEVER, BUT ONCE ENGAGED
NEVER SURRENDERS
SHOWING THE FANGS OF RAGE

Now making his way to the ring...

SAY DON'T TREAD ON ME!

Weighing in at two-hundred and seventy pounds, from San Antonio, Texas, he is the SCW International Champion...MAJOR DEVASTATION!

SO BE IT!
THREATEN NO MORE
TO SECURE PEACE IS
TO PREPARE FOR WAR

SO BE IT!
SETTLE THE SCORE
TOUCH ME AGAIN
FOR THE WORDS THAT YOU WILL HEAR EVERMORE...

As he reaches the side of the ring, he hands Old Glory to the ringside attendant and unfastens the championship belt around his waist and slides the title under the ropes before he performs a standing leap onto the ring apron and steps between the top and middle ropes to enter the ring itself, retrieving the belt in the process. He climbs the turnbuckles and plays to the crowd, hoisting the strap high above his head in a Rock-like fashion, while waiting for his opponent to make his entrance.

Once the referee had finished checking Cross for foreign objects, Major Devastation handed over his title belt to the official, who displayed the championship to both competitors and the entire crowd before handing the strap to the timekeeper and calling for the bell.

When the bell sounded, the champ would look to get right in the face of his considerably smaller challenger and stare him down.

Not expecting Xavier's headbutt, Major Devastation staggered back a step, holding his forehead. He didn't take his eyes off of his opponent as he tried to retaliate with a big headbutt of his own.

As Xavier whirled around and tried to deliver a spinning sole butt, the champ would try to grab the foot before it could connect and, if successful, would attempt to counter by quickly sweeping the other leg and giving Cross a little push to, theoretically, send him crashing down to the canvas.

It would appear that Major's attempt to sweep his opponent's leg and send him crashing to the canvas didn't work as planned, since Xavier had whipped his free leg around to try for an enzuigiri of sorts, which was a tactic that the champ had used himself on occasion. There wasn't a whole lot he could do about the foot heading toward his head, which most likely wouldn't feel all that great, but perhaps his counter attempt wouldn't be a total waste of energy if he could take Cross down with him, so he would try to use his free arm to grab the smaller man's waist and try to initiate a spinebuster just before Xavier's foot made contact.

If successful, he would roll over to put a little separation between them as he rubbed the side of his head and came up to a knee.

Still rubbing the side of his head, the champ brought himself up to a vertical base. Once both men were back up, Major Devastation would offer Cross a lock-up, and if accepted, the big Texan would attempt to deliver a snap suplex to his opponent.

(I'm back now but I no longer have internet at home. sweatdrop I figure this match would end by now due to lack of inactivity. If not I could continue now if you like.)
