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.

Unlike his opponent, Major Devastation had yet to win a single match here in WWE:E, although he certainly made every one of his opponents work for that win (although one of his matches ended up as a double count-out). This didn't get the Marine down, however...it just motivated him to fight that much harder to finally put one in the win column.

Once the bell rang, Devastation would move over to the center of the ring and offer Rosario a lock-up. If accepted, the Devil Dog would attempt to deliver a side belly-to-belly suplex.

After seemingly taking Rosario down with ease, Major Devastation came back to his feet with one smooth movement. As his opponent came up to a knee, Devastation would try to wrap his right arm around the smaller man's head and grab him by the tights before attempting to take him up and over with a vertical suplex.

((I think you mean Small Package...a Schoolboy Rollup is generally performed from behind the target.))

Crap...Rosario managed to block the suplex attempt and even caught Devastation by surprise with a roll-up. The Marine powered out of the pin attempt at 1-1/2, and brought himself up to a knee.

Devastation tried to brace himself against the DDT, but found himself off balance and had his head forcibly introduced to the canvas. He lay on the mat for a moment on the mat holding his head, but being so early in the match, Major was able to shake off the blow relatively easily.

He quickly got back up to his feet and shot in for a double leg takedown attempt. If successful, he would try to get into a mounted position and start raining down punches.

Rosario felt the punches hit one at a time, and after a while his face became numb

((auto hit))

Like a wolf stalking its prey, the Devil Dog lurked in Rosario's blind spot as he waited for the smaller man to stand up before exploding into motion, catching Rosario in a rear waistlock before jerking him up off of the ground with a twist and a bridge to drive the back of his prey's head, neck and shoulders into the mat. Major Devastation from this point would attempt to maintain his grip around the waist of his opponent, roll to his feet and attempt to deliver a second and possibly third successive German Suplex. Should the hat trick successfully be completed, Devastation would try to bridge the third suplex and go for a pin attempt.
