Welcome to Gaia! ::

As the opening riffs of Metallica's Don't Tread On Me begin to play, the lights in the arena switch to an alternating green and brown hue. A billowing American flag appears on the titantron with the words "Major Devastation" appearing in the foreground over the USMC Eagle, Globe and Anchor logo.

He rises slowly from below the stage and lifts a US flag high over his head in his left hand. As the lift stops, Major Devastation salutes the crowd as red, white and blue fountains of sparks spray around him before making his way down the ramp.

DON'T TREAD ON ME!
SAY DON'T TREAD ON ME!

LIBERTY OR DEATH
WHAT WE SO PROUDLY HAIL
ONCE YOU PROVOKE HER,
RATTLING OF HER TAIL

NEVER BEGINS IT
NEVER, BUT ONCE ENGAGED
NEVER SURRENDERS
SHOWING THE FANGS OF RAGE

Now making his way to the ring...

SAY DON'T TREAD ON ME!

Weighing in at two-hundred and seventy pounds, from San Antonio, Texas...MAJOR DEVASTATION!

SO BE IT!
THREATEN NO MORE
TO SECURE PEACE IS
TO PREPARE FOR WAR

SO BE IT!
SETTLE THE SCORE
TOUCH ME AGAIN
FOR THE WORDS THAT YOU WILL HEAR EVERMORE...

As he reaches the side of the ring, he hands Old Glory to the ringside attendant and performs a standing leap onto the ring apron before stepping between the top and middle ropes to enter the ring itself. He climbs the turnbuckles and plays to the crowd while waiting for his opponent to make his entrance.

Major Devastation could not have possibly prepared for the unpredictable offense that Crazy Wayne brings to the table, and was doubled over by the kick to the midsection before the bell even rang.

Major D. dropped to one knee as Wayne began raining forearm shots across his back. From the kneeling position, the big Texan would try to shoot forward, grab his opponent behind the knees and lift up as he tried to rise back to a vertical base, which should result in Crazy Wayne being slung over Major's shoulder. If successful, the Master of Disaster would attempt to ram the Insane One spine first into the turnbuckles.

Major Devastation cocked an eyebrow at Crazy Wayne's outburst, and backed up a couple of steps before proceeding to attempt to drive his shoulder into the lunatic's midsection.

Nobody was home when Major Devastation went to drive his shoulder into Wayne's gut, and he cried out in pain as he hit the steel ring post instead. He tried to pull himself out of the corner to tend to his left shoulder, only to get kicked in the back by the madman.

Major Devastation was caught by the roll up, and the referee only counted to one before noticing not only the fact that Crazy Wayne had his feet on the ropes, but also the handful of pants. If it weren't for the singlet that the Marine was wearing beneath his fatigues, the camera side of the audience would have gotten mooned!

The big Texan scurried backwards as the official began to admonish the raving lunatic about the illegal pin (for all the good that would do) and began trying to move his shoulder to check if it was broken or dislocated. Luckily, it was neither...it was just sore as hell.

Once again Major D. screamed in agony as Wayne's boot impacted his bad left shoulder. The musclebound Marine would look to score a bit of payback and tried to slam the heel of his boot into his opponent's kneecap.
