Welcome to Gaia! ::

intercontinental championship
normal match

The lights in the arena went dark until the USMC Eagle, Globe and Anchor emblem appeared on the blackened titantron screen before the background appeared to burn away, leaving a field of scarlet red in its place with the words Major Devastation above and below the ensignia in gold, military-style block lettering while Warrior by Disturbed began blasting over the PA system. Once the scarlet background on the screen was revealed, the arena lighting was replaced by mood lighting in a matching shade of red, alternating with gold to the beat of the music.

The Marine emerged from the tunnel with a US flag propped against his left shoulder and the Intercontinental Championship strapped around his waist as the lyrics to the song began, stopping in the middle of the stage to salute the crowd as fountains of red, white and blue sparks began spraying around him before he started down the ramp, zig-zagging from side to side in order to high-five some of the fans.

I am now an instrument of violence
I am a vessel of invincibility
I cannot leave this undecided
Stepping down to battle another day

Remember me for all time
This determination is a vital part of me
Surrender now or be counted
With the endless masses that I will defeat

Come on bring it...don't sing it...better believe it

Broken down 'til your hope has died
Beat down 'til victory is mine
Stand up and show me some pride
And now are you ready?

"Now making his way to the ring, weighing in at 270 lbs., from San Antonio, Texas...he is the World Wrestling Federation Intercontinental Champion, Major Devastation!"

I'm one with the warrior inside
My dominance can't be denied
Your entire world will turn
Into a battlefield tonight

As I look upon you
Through the warrior's eyes
Now I can see the fear
That will ensure my victory this time

As he reached the side of the ring, Major handed Old Glory to the ringside attendant and performed a standing leap onto the apron before stepping between the top and middle ropes to enter the ring itself, unfastening the belt as he did so. Devastation would then begin climbing the turnbuckles and playing to the crowd, holding the title high above his head in a Rock-like manner, before hopping down and looking the challenger dead in the eye. "We'll see who's tapping like a little b***h when the dust settles, maggot," said Major as he handed his belt to the referee and waited for the bell to sound.

The punch connected, knocking Major back a step. The champ paused for a second to check his lip for blood and, after finding none, would try to fire back with a straight right to the nose.

Crack!

WHOOOOOOO!!!

Major winced slightly when the knife-edge chop hit home, but rather than retaliating in kind, he would instead try to close in and catch Jason in a clench. If successful, Devastation would then attempt to drive the challenger back first into the mat with a side belly-to-belly suplex.

After planting Jason's spine on the canvas covered pine, Major would start trying to drive his knee into his opponent's side.

After his knee connected, Major would try for one more knee strike to the same area to help drive his point home, and that point being that there's a damned good reason why he's the current reigning and defending Intercontinental Champion.

Should his attack connect, Devastation would then stand back up and give Jason the opportunity to do the same. After all, if he wanted to put on a technical clinic, it would help if both men were on their feet...for the moment, anyway.

Jason's knee connected, doubling the champ over.
