Welcome to Gaia! ::

The crowd waited for the next competitor was going to be facing to make his entrance to the Hardcore Arena as the slow, eerie beginning to 'Cadaver' by Dead Horse Trauma hit the PA system. Once the heavy guitar hit, the crowd cheered as the Hardcore Hero, Shayne Starstrike threw back the curtains and stopped at the top of the entrance ramp! He begged the fans to get ready as he threw his hands up repeatedly, energizing the crowd!

Shayne then headed down the ramp, slapping the fans' hands. He went around the ring, making sure that anybody who wanted a high five or a fist pound, got one. Shayne then hopped up onto the apron in his corner, before climbing up to the top rope. He then stepped off, and landed in the ring, as the announcer began to introduce him.

"Introducing first... He hails from Independence, Missouri... Weighing in at One-Hundred and Ninety-Eight pounds... He is known as the Hardcore Hero! He is... Shayne Starstrike!"

The crowd cheered as the announcer climbed out of the ring. Shayne held one fist in the air as he slipped his jacket off with his other hand, before dropping it on the outside of the ring. He then leaned on the top turnbuckle and waited for the next competitor to enter!

Shayne cracked his knuckles, before going into his street-fighting stance, readying himself for the match against Marxx.

Shayne inched towards Marxx, seeing that he had taken a Martial Arts stance. He offered a lockup with his left hand.

((in a hurry))

Marxx was in the wristlock.

((Auto-hit))

Shayne connected with the vicious forearm, making Marxx stagger away! He quickly then went for a huge lariat (NOT the Finisher Lariat), to the back of Marxx's head!

He then attempted to stay on Marxx, with a quick forearm to his head (if he's standing), and a quick stomp to the back of the head (if he's on the mat.)

Marxx was hit by the forearms, searching for a rope to stop all this.
