Welcome to Gaia! ::

The camera fades in on the BBW ring announcer, standing backstage with a microphone. He takes a deep breath before beginning to speak.

"Bad Blood Wrestling fans, it is my honor to introduce to you, a veteran of the wrestling industry, former EWA World Champion, EWA Hall of Famer... Ladies and Gentlemen, 'The Punisher', Joshua Danielson."

The camera panned over and zoomed out a bit to see Joshua Danielson standing wearing a black suit, with a black tie and black undershirt on. He straightens his suit jacket and looks at the camera with a smile.

"Mr. Danielson, first off, welcome to BBW. It's a pleasure for us to have you here."

Joshua laughs before reaching out, grabbing, and shaking the announcer's hand. He lets go and places his hands in his pockets before turning to the camera and leaning down to the microphone.

"Thank you very much man, it's a pleasure to be here at this young, but great company. Just over a year old, and you're already seeming to be THE place to be if you're a professional wrestler."

The announcer smiled and let out a short laugh before composing himself and continuing.

"Well, on behalf of everybody here, I must say we all thank you for the compliment! Now, you've been out of the game for a while now. Why have you decided to make your return here, to BBW?"

Joshua put his right hand to his chin for a second, like he was pondering the thought, before putting it back in his pocket.

"The answer to that question is easy, but comes in two parts. Firstly, why HERE? Like I said, BBW is the place to be if you want to be a pro wrestler. So there was absolutely no question to which place I would be coming back to. I may have been gone, but I've definitely been paying attention, and there are some people here that have the real potential to be future legends in this industry. And I want to go toe to toe with them.

Now, why am I returning NOW of all times? I thought there was a chance to do something I've never done before in wrestling. I've been a singles wrestler, I've been a tag team wrestler, but I've never managed anybody or been a part of a 'faction'. Now, some future stars have everything it takes to become that legend that everybody believes they can be, but they don't have the hand to guide them through the twists and turns of the wrestling world. They need that certain veteran with the vision to see the curves in the road up ahead and turn them through it safely. That's why I'm here. Now, let's get this straight, the two men I'm here with don't need much of a guiding hand at all, but any presence I can give to them to help them along, I'm here to give."

Danielson gave a big toothy grin to the camera and straightened his suit jacket with both hands once again. He turned his body and motioned behind him with both hands, apparently pointing to somebody off-frame, but kept his head tilted to the microphone.

"These two men are extremely talented, and I'm ready to take on the rest of the competition in BBW with both of these men."

Joshua put his left hand to the side of his mouth and began to whisper into the microphone:

"Even though sometimes, it feels like I'm the one that needs them more than they need me."

He laughed and straightened his body to the camera as the announcer put the microphone up to his own mouth.

"Well, you've told us why you're here, and why you've brought these two men with you. Why don't you tell us who these men are?"

Danielson smiled and straightened his suit jacket again, before taking his hands and slicking back his long hair. He turned his back to the announcer, who brought the microphone around to the side of Joshua's mouth so they could still hear him.

"These two men are two of the brightest up-and-coming stars in wrestling, and I'm glad to be partnering up with them. Lets introduce them one by one and let them say a little bit about themselves and their ambitions. First off, ladies and gentlemen, let me introduce you to Mr. Rex Cobra!"


The camera panned over, and the announcer was slid out of the shot, showing Joshua Danielson standing next to the newly debuting Rex Cobra!

Joshua took the microphone back from Rex and turned to hand it back to the announcer, who took it back with a weird look on his face, clearly surprised by Rex's seemingly change of heart.

"Well, that's... Certainly something. Clearly you've got this group started off on the right foot Mr. Danielson, now, you said you had two young stars?"

Danielson looked at the camera with his big toothy grin and leaned down to the microphone once again.

"Yes, yes I did. Joining the newly reformed Rexual Predator here with us in this little group we have, is someone who I'm sure you're all looking forward to seeing in the ring for the first time here in BBW... Ladies and gentlemen, Mr. Cyrus Darke!"

The camera once again slid over, past Joshua and the ring announcer, over to Cyrus standing next to Rex, as the ring announcer quickly moved around to the other side, so the microphone could pick up every word Cyrus says.
