Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson

The Rock stands pretty much idle, preparing to make his entrance in front of nearly 20,000+ fans in attendance. He is drinking water and praying for another successful match. You can see he has enter sort of a trance, a trance that has focused him on this match and only this match.
Silence runs over the crowd, the crowd once cheers turn into minimal murmurs. Hearts begin to race, waiting to see their money's worth from The Rock. The suspense has killed all the energy in the building, even his opponent breathing increases. The titantron without expression, almost as if the building in the sold-out arena was empty. Suddenly the room erupts.

"IFF YOU SMELLLLLLLLLLLLL...WHAT THE ROCK IS COOKIN'?"


*Electrifying (The Rock)" by WWE & Jim Johnston

Suddenly the most electrifying man stood in front of this huge sold out crowd that wasn't anticipating his return. His opponent is absolutely stunned by the appearance of the Rock. The Rock soaked in the crowd by closing his eyes and feeling the vibrations of the deafening crowd and the PA system. He opened his eyes and look to his left and gave off his signature brow (The crowd went wild). People arose to their feet showing off their posters personally made for The Rock himself.

Annoucer: "Weighing 260lbs, From Miami, Florida. He is the most electrifying man in sports entertainment, The Rock!"

The cameras zoomed in on The Rock as he proceeded down the ramp, eyeing his opponent and peeping his expression. Once his name bellowed throughout the arena giving everyone people got even louder which seemed impossible. The Rock had a sort of swagger unique to his persona, once The Rock reached the stairs which he had climbed up and walked the apron to the turnbuckle and striked his signature pose:

After rejoicing the crowd The Rock slowly stepped down and gazed at the man that he'd be wrestling soon. The Rock shot his signature brow to his opponent and chuckled a bit. His theme shut off but the crowd still sent deafening cheers that shook the ring. People rose on their feet to greet 'The Great One'. The Rock stood roughly 12ft away from the man he was about to face. His legacy would start here; he knew he was home, The Rock couldn't help but smile as he waited for the bell to sound.

Blood, Sweat and Respect.
The first two you GIVE. The last you EARN.

[The King Of Strong Style]

TNW:R Raw tonight was action packed with matches and excitement as fans piled into the arena that Raw was being hosted tonight. Shinsuke Nakamura, TNW:R's newest and most diverse superstar was backstage becoming prepared for his match tonight. He stood in the locker room, isolated from the rest of the men and women performers to do his stretches. Nakamura would stretch his long legs, often used to deliver intense and vicious kicks to his opponents in the style he adopted, Strong Style. A style of wrestling introduced by the great, legend, the first IWGP Heavyweight Champion Antonio Inoki. And now, decades later it is carried on by another Japanese star into the states. Shinsuke Nakamura would place his gear out on the floor, admiring the red and black colors that became synonymous with his character. Shinsuke would change into his gear to become ready for his match, drenching his hair in water to give a rock star look. A TNW:R crew member came to the locker rooms to inform Shinsuke his match would be coming up soon. Nakamura would get into the zone, while walking through the backstage area of the arena to the gorilla position. Shinsuke warmed his muscles up in gorilla, while being talked to by a producer. Shinsuke got ready for his cue, ready for the crowd to explode in happiness.

The lights would go out, as the beginning guitar of Shinsuke Nakamura's theme song, The Rising Sun, would begin. Green audio waves played on the visual screens on the stage. A few seconds into it, flashing red dots would replace the audio waves, before a flashing of red light appeared on the screen. Silence ensued only for a few seconds, and when it broke the name SHINSUKE NAKAMURA would appear on the screen. In the center of the stage, stood Shinsuke as strobe lights hit his body, making it hard for the fans to see him completely. This wasn't an entrance for those with epilepsy. Shinsuke moved his arms and hands in stiff movements. Nakamura would walk from out of the shadows, allowing the lights to return and his video packages to appear on the screens around the arena. He made his way down the ramp,doing his signature taunts that were much like dancing. "And his opponent: from Kyoto, Japan.. Shinsuke Nakamura!" Shinsuke's hands made movements similar to conducting a band or drumming, his arms crossed. He would make his way all the down the ramp, his movements being intensified. He turned the corner to the steel steps. He would then climb up the steps, and entered the ring. On one of the sides of the ring, he would grab the top rope, and hit his signature YeaOh! taunt, bending backwards with such flexibility. A single spotlight hit Shinsuke, presenting his graciousness. Shinsuke's entire body would hit the mat. He would then get to his feet, and back into the corner.

Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, the most electrifying man in sports entertainment and Shinsuke Nakamura, the King of Strong Style. Two of the most charismatic and unique superstars TNW:R offered. Being matched up against one another on this sold-out RAW episode. The crowd was already on their feet, seeing both competitors ready to do battle. The Rock wore a huge smile across his face, prancing around in his corner.  

[The King Of Strong Style]

Shinsuke stood across from the Rock, movie star icon, legend in the wrestling business. But Shinsuke was not intimidated by the notoriety of Dwayne. Shinsuke would stretch in his corner, his back turned to The Rock, placing his leg on the top turnbuckle. However, once the referee signaled for the bell to be rung he would turn around towards Rocky. He jumped up and down, moving around his arms as well. Nakamura would move towards Dwayne, going for a collar-and-elbow tie up.  

[Flex Kavana]

The bell signaled, which brought on a shower of opening cheers for this bout. Nakamura would approach The Rock offering a lock-up. The Brahma Bull being the strongest of the two without hesitating, accepted. Eventually trying to over-power the much smaller Shinsuke.  

[The King Of Strong Style]

Shinsuke was definitely not as muscular as The Rock, a few inches shorter, and many many pounds lighter. Shinsuke needed to find an upper hand on Rock, early on. He would attempt to simply move the lock up so that Rock had his back against the ropes.  

[Flex Kavana]

Shinsuke Nakamura would successfully make the transition, forcing The Rock to be pinned up against the ropes. He would manage to stand his ground, despite the circumstances-- still yielding a smile.  

[The King Of Strong Style]

The referee began his count, which if extended to "5" would force a disqualification. Shinsuke would slowly break the lock up, putting his hands up. However, in an attempt of playing mind games with the Rock, he would place his head on Rocky's stomach, and allow his own arms to dangle like a rag doll. He would then back up, and smile at the Great One.  

[Flex Kavana]

The hold was eventually broken, the ref separated the two as The Great One watched Shinsuke's childlike shenanigans, laughing and shaking his head. The Rock would regroup, getting into a tie-up stance offering another lock-up.  

[The King Of Strong Style]

Shinsuke would accept the lock up, but quickly transition into a wrist lock on Rocky's left arm.  

[Flex Kavana]

Shinsuke would be in the lock up momentarily before transitioning to a wrist lock, holding onto The Rock's left arm. The Rock would look to come up on top though, pulling Nakamura in for a headlock.  

[The King Of Strong Style]

Shinsuke was strategically placed into a headlock by Rocky. He would wrap his arms around the waist of Dwayne, before pulling him into the ropes, using them to throw The Rock into the opposite sets of ropes.
