Anxiety builds as I prepare to walk up the stairs and through the roaring crowd

Cheers can be heard above, the announcer adds to the excitement

We wait in anticipation

The long walk begins and we stop waiting for our moments

The music plays and I know it is my turn to walk through the crowd

The cage awaits my opponent and I

The crowds cheer and boo as I enter my domain of pain and pure joy

The cage is my friend and my host where I spill the blood of my opponent and he spills mine

Together we compete as warriors for the crowd
