The image that has become synonymous with Christopher Cross debuting appears on the screen, that of a large silver cross against a black background. It stands for a few moments, before it spontaneously catches fire and simultaneously begins to crumble down to nothing but ash. When you think about it, that image makes absolutely no sense as Chris is a religious man, and with the Cross both symbolizing religion and himself, it would probably be best for it not to crumble and burn. Maybe in some ways it symbolizes occasional use of moves that would cause him to crash and burn if he were to miss them. The world may never know. What the world does know, however is that Cross is walking out onto the stage, and "Pride" by Soil is beginning to play, to the delight of the crowd, who shower him with cheers and adulation. Judging by the smile on his face, Chris is happy to see them as well. Then again, when is he unhappy to be in front of a great audience. He made a mental note to mention them in the upcoming promo he was about to give. He is sporting his usual in ring gear, aside from the white t-shirt adorning his torso, complete with his name and the same cross from the opening video. Some might think they were seeing double when their gaze drifted a bit higher, as there was that same cross again, though this one was a medallion worn around his neck. Cross takes a few steps forward down the ramp, before dropping to his knees and awaiting the unusually large pyro display that began happening behind him. Pyro here in the World Wrestling Federation Guild just seemed to burn brighter, it seemed. At the final blast he leapt up from his prayer position and to his feet, once again beginning to walk down the ramp towards the ring, though he was detoured several times, interacting with the fans as he went. When he finally made it to the ring, he hopped up onto the apron and looked out to the crowd, before throwing himself over the top rope and making his way over to the furthest turnbuckle. Cross quickly climbed said turnbuckle and performed the sign of the cross, which only helped to add to the roar of the crowd. He repeated this at the other three turnbuckles, before asking for a mic and getting just what he requested, then moving to the center of the ring and motioning for the fans to quiet down.

"Finally.... The Cross has come back to- Wait just a moment! I don't believe I've ever been here before, and I also don't believe that I am some kind of Rock rip-off. Always good to start with a joke."

The fans seemed to appreciate his attitude, as they popped at the right moment.

"Now, first, I'd just like to say that you really know how to welcome someone into the fold. I haven't felt this special upon a debut ever, and you should be proud of that!"

Another pause for the fans to give themselves a nice round of applause, so to speak, as nobody was clapping, just hooting and hollering.

"Now, on to business. The reason I came here to The World Wrestling Federation Guild. You all know what I'm about to say, as I'm sure you have the event circled, stamped and written in the most permanent of permanent markers on your calenders. January 17th, 2010, The Royal Rumble! I came here to win that match, and get a one-way ticket to Wrestlemania, a shot at The WWFG Title. Winning that title would mean more to me than holding the International Championship Wrestling, WWE: Evolution, Durem Championship Wrestling, Gaia Championship Wrestling, WWE: Unlimited, Jersey All-Pro Wrestling, and Extrem Entertainment Wrestling titles all at the same time. And I aim to do just that. My primary goal is to win that very title, and the best way I can see to do that would be to go into the Royal Rumble, January 17th on Pay-Per-View, and beat every other man, woman, shemale, and animal that enters. I don't care if I draw the last number, I don't care if I draw number one, I fully intend on outlasting everybody else and walking away with my ticket, just like Christina Parks did last go around. And do you know what she did with her shot? She went on and won the Undisputed title. And I wonder to myself, why not me? I'm young, talented, and hungry for this victory. That's what it takes to win. Determination, and I've got it shooting out of my ears. To prove to every single one of you that I'm serious, I'm going to be challenging the World Champion, and I will give it my all for you people. Win, lose, or draw, I will show you what rests deep within my heart and soul, I will show you why I'm such a hot prospect. I know I'm facing an uphill battle, you always are when you face a man of Harli's calibre, but that's where I thrive, when I have to fight the odds, when I have to show that I have what it takes to go as far as my opponent, and then push myself that much further. Thank you for listening to me go on and on about myself, and my goals. I promise you, no matter what happens, I will leave everything I have out here in the ring every night I come out here."

With that, Cross drops the mic and falls to the ground, rolling out of the ring, his music once again beginning to play over the PA system. Instead of just heading straight to the back, however, Chris begins to run around the ring, hitting the hands of every single fan he can see. Well, at least everyone who has their hand out. And whom he can reach, of course. He's certainly not going to bodysurf his way up to the rear of the arena, as that would take too long. Having made his lap, he now heads up the ramp, again trying to hit as many fans as possible, before making it to the ramp, and turning around to take a bow. He hoped he said all that he needed to say, though if he had missed something, he would have to let his actions tell the story inside the ring from here on out. Chris finally stops his interactions with the fans and pulls himself away long enough to get backstage as his music faded.
