Welcome to Gaia! ::

[{A bell tolls over the PA system and the crowd goes silent. A second bell tolls, and just when the third toll would sound out the beginning riff of Blow me away- "Breaking Benjamin" begins to play.

They fall in line
One at a time
Ready to play
(I can't see them anyway)

The titantron fills with static and flashes a "1"

No time to lose
We've got to move
Steady your helm
(I am losing sight again)

The static flashes to a "2" for a brief moment.

Fire your guns,
It's time to run,
Blow me away.
(I will stay unless I may)

The static clears revealing a "3" before a wall of rolling blue fog. The fog seems to spill out from the titantron, as well as the stage, ramp, and even over the ring.

After the fall,
We'll shake it off,
Show me the way.

The Number Three bursts from the fog spilling out over the ramp, and the arena roars with approval. He may be new, but he has consistently shown how far he is willing to go to give the audience a show. He raises his arms as if to embrace the pop he received from the crowd. The chorus starts, and strobe lights flash with the riff.

Only the strongest will survive,
Lead me to heaven when we die,
I am a shadow on the wall,
I'll be the one to save us all.

Three runs down the ramp, the strobbing lights make his movements seem to stop, and so it appears he is shifting through the darkness as he approaches the ring. Just before he reaches the ring the lights flash off and then return to show him standing in the ring looking at Cyrus.

The music died away and the announcer called out.

"And his opponent. From Seattle, Washington! Weighing in at 260lbs. He is the Demon oooof the Ring! The... Number... THREE!"}]

[{Three steps into the middle of the ring. He stares down at the slightly shorter man. Holding one hand up he offers an initial lock up with Cyrus to get the match going.}]

[{The kick hit Three in the gut and made him take a step back. He retaliated with a quick right hook aimed for Cyrus' face.}]

[{The clothesline hit Three in the chest and knocked him down to his back. His flesh stung and the bump hurt but he moved to get back up to his feet.}]

[{Because Three had started to get up right away Cyrus missed with the leg drop, sitting himself down on the mat. Three was now in a good position to throw out his foot in a boot to the head.}]

[{Three reached down trying to pull Cyrus up to his feet. If he was able to bring the man up, he would Irish-whip him for the ropes.}]

[{The reversal surprised Three and the slam caught him off guard. He arched his back from the pain, trying to suck in the air that was just knocked out of his lungs.}]
