Entrance Description: The arena lights darken to pitch black, then white light starts to flicker through the crowd with the opening hook of the song. As it kicks in, John Raide steps through the curtains and walks out onto the stage. He wears a black t-shirt over his trunks that says 'Ideas are bulletproof'. He starts down the aisle as he looks out over the arena crowd. Raide stops right at the end of the aisle as he turns and gives a smug look to the crowd. Then he runs up onto the apron and hops onto the turnbuckle as he yells to the crowd to fire himself up.
