Entrance Theme: “Roll Up” by The Struts
Entrance Description:
The lights dim as the screen comes alive with a serene view of the Serengeti, alone on a large rock, a black lion lays, majestic and calm. Suddenly we hear some music begin to play.
“I wake up at one
My day's just begun
Say hello to the sun
“I'm feeling sublime
The weather is fine
So I'm gonna shine
In the finest of clubs
The best country pubs
Nobody will stop me!”
The lion starts to stir as the music picks up a bit, and bright gold and red lights begin to flash.
“So now
Whatever I wear
It's gotta have flare
So you people can stare
And I'll catch your eye
When I walk on by
Nobody will stop me
Ooh”
The lion slowly stands and begins stalking his way to the edge of the cliff
“Come take my hand
Let's start the show
Strike up the band
And you'll see”
The lion roars right as the chorus kicks in and gold pyro fires off in front of Minoru Tanahashi, clad in one of his flashy ring outfits. He starts strutting down to the ring, dancing along to the music and singing along with the words, Minoru hops up onto the second step, then right to the apron. He wipes his shoes, steps in, and goes to the center of the ring. He looks out to the crowd and extends his hand to them.
“Come take my hand
Let's start the show
Strike up the band
And you'll see”
As the second chorus hits, a bunch of Black Lion Bomb stickers fires off into the crowd. He turns with a flourish, takes off his mask, tosses it behind his back, does a moonsault, lands on his feet, and catches the mask in the corner.
