Welcome to Gaia! ::

As Gary and Jester collide on the outside, the crowd roars for Salem, urging him on as he briefly gestures to the crowd and grabs the ring bell, bringing it with him to the nearby announce table! Setting it on the tabletop, Salem would start stripping the desk of its amenities, pulling away panels and displays until the desk was made bare, but with only the ring bell on top!

Salem turns to see Gary getting his feet back from under him, stroking swiftly with a black boot to the stomach as Senior Guitar got close enough! Pulling the man's head between Salem's legs, 'The Copperhead' would gesture to the audience with a pointed finger, aiming it at the ring bell on the announce table, before hoisting Gary up by the waist and lifting him into a powerbomb, dropping him through the table and onto the bell with the back of Gary's head!

The crowd roars as Salem destroys Gary Guitar along with the announce table, but the "M.W. Deuce" didn't forget about The Jester, turning with a furious look on the Native's face towards Cart's last standing henchman! Cracking his knuckles, Salem nodded and glared at Jester, staring him down as if to silently say that his reckoning had come!

Salem was sidetracked with Cartwright's clown, his focus drawn away from the behemoth lurking at his back! The crowd shouted to warn their hero, but he couldn't hear through the white noise that was the roar of the audience, unaware that TBI was ready to make him RIP!

The clobbering forearm from TBI bounced Salem forward a couple steps, followed up by another and another until Salem had staggered to the ringside barricade!

Propping his elbows on the rail, Salem huffed and waved for the crowd in the first row to move as he used a burst of motivation to get over the railing and grab the nearest empty chair!

Picking it up, Salem would chuck it hard at the approaching TBI, who was almost to the rail, and would proceed to grab every other chair in reach to start pelting the giant with folded steel!

The crowd lights up for the violence on display, seeing Salem sling steel at the big man until it began to pile around his feet! As the behemoth started to stagger and slip to his knees, Croft quickly got up on the railing and leaped towards TBI, bringing his boot down onto the back of his head and driving it down, stomping his skull into the steel pile!

Salem huffed and felt the solid body and steel under his feet, taking a few breaths as he looked around with wild eyes for another outlet to vent his rage upon. Though he couldn't see Cartwright, he did notice Jester trying to run off towards the ramp, seeking to escape!

Like the Taurus he had tattooed on his shoulder, Salem saw red and ran for the man, chasing him around the ring! As Jester was looking to turn the corner and get up the ramp, Salem would dive and slide under the bottom rope and across the corner to try and tackle the man off his feet at the foot of the entrance ramp!
