Perverted/
Corrupted/
From the back, Henry Lee Hyde emerges, head bowed. He almost blends into the shadows, in his all-black ring attire, but no shadow moves as quickly as him. He comes to stand at the top of the ramp, head remaining down, but his scowl deep enough to be seen under the spotlight that now focuses on him.
In our mind, body, and form/
A spiral of hatred, keep burnin'/
To savage my soul/
He rises his head in time for the chorus, eyes wild, face twisting, sneering. He gives his face, chest, a few slaps that leave a red shade to his skin, draw shouts of determination from him, before he descends the ramp towards the ring.
He who flees from the light/
Knows the true pain/
Blames all those who loved/
Blames the world and/
Henry leans into the ropes, letting them strain, and gives a mighty roar that can still be heard over the explosive music. He remains there, lets his gaze skim over the crowd and towards his opponent/the ramp. Eyes locked on his target, Henry shifts into his corner, and warms up in preparation for his match as his music fades out.

From the back, Henry Lee Hyde emerges, head bowed. He almost blends into the shadows, in his all-black ring attire, but no shadow moves as quickly as him. No shadows have the shimmer of a title belt around their waist like he does.

WRESTLER’S IN-RING INFO.
CHARACTER DISPOSITION: Chaotic Good | “A chaotic good character acts as his conscience directs him with little regard for what others expect of him.”
TENDENCY TO CHEAT: Never | if he can't beat a man with his own two fists, what good is he?
MOTIVATION TO COMPETE:
PASSION; you live and breathe wrestling, winning or losing doesn't matter to you
GLORY; you just want to win and nothing else matters to you
FIXER; the industry has become diluted by those who use it to push their 'cults', use it as a stepping stone, or otherwise disrespect wrestling by cheating or corrupting the ranks – Henry wishes to remind people of the glory of the sport, and 'fix' wrestling to remove the truly corrupt
GIMMICK: Henry Lee Hyde is a man driven by his conscience into extremes. His passion for wrestling is often demonstrated as an unpredictable aggression that bubbles under the surface and teeters through his words. Misunderstood, no doubt aided by his uncanny ability to hold everyone at a distance, but beneath Henry's dark persona is a person who wants nothing more than a fair fight, fair opportunities, and the adrenaline that comes with stepping into the ring.
FAVORITE MATCH TYPE: Anything where he can prove his tenacity: iron match match, last man standing, steel cage match, for example
LEAST FAVORITE MATCH TYPE: Matches with more 'unconventional' win conditions: table match, ladder match, he prefers to focus on just beating his opponent
WEAPON OF CHOICE: Baseball bat
