Welcome to Gaia! ::

Just as Jamie's music was dying out, a boisterous voice would shout over the speakers, instantly bringing the crowd to their feet...

"Stand back! There's a HURRICANE comin' through!"

Could it be?! The video package that accompanied the proclamation seemed to indicate so, that indeed the fan-favorite Hurricane Helms had come to Evolution, bringing many of the fans off their feet so they could clap and click pictures of this exciting arrival. However, when Jamie's opponent finally came out from behind the curtain hanging across the main stage entrance, something looked amiss. Yes, the man did sport the signature green spandex and cape. Yes, his hair was painted to match, accenting the half-mask that covered his face. But this guy looked a little taller...a lot more athletic...and considerably more tan than the 'superhero' whose alter-ego was Gregory Helms. It didn't take long - just until the peculiar person leaned in and brought his forearm across his chest in typical hero fashion that the crowd's enthusiasm nosedived...once gleeful cheers now demeaning jeers as Salem Croft in disguise marched down to the ring, microphone in tow.

"Fear not, Evolution fans!" Salem said with a smile into the mic, sticking to the center of the ramp. "Though stormclouds have been brewin' and threatening to rain on everyone's parade, The Hurricane is here to..." Salem paused, spinning abruptly as he continued speaking. "...Swirl up those dark clouds and bring light back to this company!" He added, continuing his thinly veiled jabs at Matt Shanahan while thrusting a hand high, looking triumphantly up from next to the ring. Tossing the microphone aside, Salem leaped up onto the apron and springboarded over the ropes from the second cable, doing a roll and popping up to carry his momentum into a chest bump against Jamie, to shout: "Whassupwitdat?!"

As Jamie bounces off the ropes in disbelief, "Hurricane" Croft would start throwing some hard rights, looking to use some textbook boxing offense in attempt to bring Hedro even more off his game! Though the fans hadn't been kind to him on his way to the ring, Salem was showing no lack of enthusiasm for getting the job done, tonight!

Jamie went straight to his back from the flurry of fists, something that actually drew a response from the crowd as they booed Salem for abusing the lad. Really? The crowd sympathized with Jamie? This must've been Bizzaro World. But that was fitting, because Hurricane Croft was dressed from a comic book in mockery of "The Storm", and came prepared! So as Jamie bounced back up to his feet following the knockdown, Salem caught the man by the throat and looked around wide-eyed at the audience, most of which made their ire obvious with "YOU SUCK" chants. After scanning the crowd a second, Salem looked to hoist Hedro up with his superhuman strength and execute The Hurricane's finishing maneuver, The Chokeslam!

"BOOOOO!"

The crowd cried out unanimously in protest at how quickly Salem had laid waste to Mr. Hedro, the brutal landing causing some in the crowd to cringe at the way Jamie's spine collapsed and bounced off the mat. Nonetheless, Hurricane Croft did a quick twirl before posing triumphantly in typical Helms fashion, looking over at his seemingly unconscious foe. Turning around, Salem thrust a finger at the nearest turnbuckle, bounding over to the top rung like Batman racing to a rooftop! Perched up like a virtuous vigilante, Salem ignored the fans who dissed his rib and leapt from the corner to a dazzling height! Rolling in the air, "The Hurricane" would try to do a full front flip before landing shoulders-first onto Jamie's back, hopefully pulling off his sensational Swanton!

Bouncing off Jamie's back and carrying the momentum to his feet, Salem streaked over to the opposite corner and ran up the rungs, thrusting a hand up victoriously for the crowd, the hero's his beloved public. But in response to the vicious maneuver, the fans only further insulted Hurricane Croft for his showboating, Salem's smile slowly fading into a confused grimace. Looking around, he held his hands up meekly, palms facing the sky as he pondered what could make them hate him so. "Wha...Whassupwitdat?" He asked without the assistance of a mic, overselling a pout before turning back around to look at the mangled body he'd left lying on the canvas. With a more sadistic smirk on his lips, the sight of Jamie brought a smile to the hero's face before he leapt once again off the corner, looking to land a flying elbow drop into the ribs of the wounded warrior!

The former Asylum Champion succeeded in further destroying the foreigner's body with his flying elbow drop, but instead of hooking the leg and going for a pin Salem instead rolled out of the ring on the side nearest the ramp and dropped off the apron, to the ringside area. He seemed to be favoring the elbow he'd landed on, but that didn't stop him from picking the microphone he'd thrown away earlier, looking around at the fans while the referee started with a 'one' count.

"Now, I know what you're thinking - yeah, that landing was a little hard...but I'm okay!" he shouted, doing the signature pose while pretending to grimace from a sore elbow, the referee meanwhile at a count of five. "After all...I may not be the hero you need, but I am the hero you deserve!"

Salem sat up, bringing hands to his face in mock shock at Jamie's shoulder-up, bringing attention to the black sleeves he wore to cover his forearms in replacement of the traditional wraps he wore in the ring. Still, Salem was sold on his new persona, standing up to talk down at the defiant wrestler.

"You think you can go toe-to-toe with the super-hero?" he asked, reaching down to start pulling Jamie back up to his feet. "Well, let me help you with that!"

It seemed at first that "Hurricane Croft" was trying to assist his opponent in earnest, using his super-strength to pick the man up and get him back to a vertical base...but just as Jamie was standing, Salem would c**k his torso to the side, raising a foot to try and Superkick the chap straight in the chin!
