Advanced
Ring Entrance

(The lights go out and a door can be heard creaking, followed by the sound of wind howling right through the arena; suddenly “Psychosocial” by Slipknot roars through the speakers.)


 


I DID MY TIME, and I want out!
So abusive FAITH!
It doesn't cut, this soul is not so vibrant.
The reckoning, the sickening.
Back at your subversion.
Psuedo-sacred sick before dawn.


 


(Copeland slowly walks out from the back stopping at the top of the ramp with a calm look etched on his face. The American Psycho stands there for a moment and looks out at the sold out crowd before slowly and confidently heading down the ramp toward the ring.)


 


And the rain will kill us all...
We throw ourselves against the wall
But no one else can see
The preservation of the martyr in me


 


PSYCHOSOCIAL...PSYCHOSOCIAL...PSYCHOSOCIAL!


 


Trudeau: From Los Angeles, California; weighing in at two hundred and ninety five pounds ... he is the "American Psycho" Seth COPELAAAAAAAND!


 


(Copeland gets to the ringside area and stops for a moment, then he walks up the steps, slowly enters the ring and walks to the opposite corner. He climbs onto the second turnbuckle and stands there scanning the arena, his eyes taking in the warm reception that the fans are giving him, which brings a smile to his face. He climbs off the turnbuckle and paces back and forth as the music fades out and the lights return to normal.)


 


 

General Strategy

Copeland is an aggressive individual; uncompromising, lethal, explosive, intelligent and is almost impossible to defeat.


 


Copeland will use his power, speed, technical ability, martial arts skills, aggression and intelligence to wear opponents down no matter their size and then when the time is right, nail them with The Endgame.


 


 

Spot 1

(X charges at Copeland, attempting a clothesline, Copeland ducks the attempt and gets in position, X follows through and comes off the ropes on the far side, he runs back but is met with a thunderous spear by Copeland, X rolls on the ground in agony holding his ribs from the bone jarring impact.)


 


 

Spot 2

(Copeland Irish whips X into ropes and attempts a Lethal Clothesline but X ducks under the clothesline he follows through and comes back at him as X attempts a clothesline of his own, Copeland ducks under the attempt and pulls up quickly he turns around and delivers a textbook standing dropkick to X’s chin, X stumbles back stunned into the near corner and Copeland charges at him and attempts a Stinger Splash but X moves out of the way, Copeland however lands like a cat in the corner and as X turns around Seth shows his amazing agility by spinning out with a flipping cross body block and holds on for the pin attempt.)


 


 

Spot 3

(X throws Copeland thru the ropes and rolls out after him, he grabs him by the head and walks him over to the ring post, X pulls Copeland’s head back in an attempt to slam in into the post, Seth blocks it and elbows X in the bridge of the nose, he then reverses it and slams X’s head into the post he and rolls X into the ring, he pulls his head out over the ring apron, Seth then climbs up onto the apron backing up against the ring post, he looks out at the fans and points his thumb up and then quickly down and takes three or four steps and leaps into the air and comes crashing down with a huge leg drop to roars from the crowd.)
