Welcome to Gaia! ::

The arena lights turn off, except for a few of them going to a strobe effect as the opening of Head Like a Hole by AFI starts up. Xavier X slowly walking to the center of the stage as the crowd go right to their feet, giving a massive reaction. He stands as the theme goes into the pause. During the pause Xavier X hesitantly raises his arm into the X, roaring out to the audience as the sides of the stage shoot out pyro, the crowd giving another reaction to it. Xavier drops his arms down and starts to walk down to the ring.

Announcer: ...From Oakland, California; weighing in at 204 pounds.....XAVIER.........X!



The way Xavier was walking down to the ring was slower than usual. The only thing he could do to play to the crowd was simply nod to the fans. He got to the steel steps and walked up them slowly, getting to the apron and got through the ropes. X walked to the camera side and raised up the X once more, before backing to the side opposite of the ramp. It was noticeable how much pain he seemed to be in during his entrance, but he was willing to fight through it and compete in tonight's match!

Xavier remained leaning back on the ropes. Hearing Bader's words made Xavier X want to run right in, guns blazing looking to teach him a lesson. However, tonight he had to be a bit more careful, as he was still feeling the effects of the TLC match he had with King. Xavier kept his tank top on for the match, but you could see through the open areas the athletic tape wrapped around his ribs, extending over his right shoulder to cover up the bad scar.

Xavier pushed himself off the ropes, moving his arms around getting a final feel of what his limits were in terms of movement, starting to circle around Jamie.

Xavier heard the words loud and clear, shaking his head before accepting the lock up. Since he knew he had just about no chance of even out muscling his opponent, Xavier went for an Arm Wrench on Bader.

"That's right Bader!" Xavier said pretty faintly as he was trying to use less air to not bother his ribs. He kept a hold when Jamie did the cartwheel, until he was put into the Arm Wrench! X stayed in it for a couple of seconds before rolling forward to relieve the stress of the move as well. Unfortunately he got stuck on the ground as his breath got short. He would try to kick his feet forward and try to land a forearm in the face of Jamie with the momentum of getting up.

Xavier took the forearm right across the side of the face, stumbling back a step, currently he was thinking of pulling back, but he couldn't let this man get the better of him this early! So he went to fire off another Forearm at Jamie's face.

Xavier was expecting another forearm, but the Uppercut came right by his lower neck, X stumbling back holding his inner shoulder. Since we were looking for some fresh maneuvers, Xavier reared back went for a side kick to the chest area of Jamie.

Xavier held his shoulder for a bit, continuing to breathe as lightly as he could while Jamie stumbled back. When he turned his head, Xavier moved towards him with his arms forward looking to grab him, when the sudden kick caught him right in the solar plex and he dropped to his knee clutching at his chest, letting out a faint grunt as his eyes widened, his teeth pressing together in the pain of the shot.
