After a few long moments, a pulsating and punishing salvo of Fear Factory's guitars and drums assault every one of our senses, with strobe lights blazing in time in red and white. We can see the silhouette of Erik Holland on the top of the stage, pacing back and forth, shaking his head, arguing with himself, tugging at his hair, generally just working himself and the crowd into a frenzy before he stomps toward the ring at an accelerated pace.

The strobes stop and explode into a cacophony of red and white searchlights as Erik Holland is seen fully now, yelling about what violent things he's going to do as he bounces from one side of the entrance ramp to the other, pinging off the crowd like a pinball.

He arrives at ringside and circles the ring one and a half times before jumping on the apron facing the hard camera, staring out to the vast expanse in a crouch before he ducks through the ropes into the ring. Heading to one turnbuckle, he hops up on the second rope and throws his arms out to welcome the roars of the crowd.

Erik is now seen slumping in the corner, back against the second pad and ass on the mat, glowering up at the camera from behind his entrance mask. He reaches up and peels the mask off, yelling something we can't hear over the music and cheering at the cameraman before he slings the mask into the crowd and pulls himself up onto his feet with help from the ropes, ready to begin the match.
Gimmick: A brutal, cunning, tough, talented and potentially still clinically insane wrestler who leads and inspires the multi promotional vigilante group known as the Badd Breed. This is as stable and sane as we've seen Erik since the maniac we saw in his debut just a couple of years ago, which leads us to wonder if the violence that pervades his career on a nearly daily basis is the cause. Former mental patient; received extensive treatment as a teenager and young adult for Borderline Personality Disorder, schizophrenia, Intermittent Explosive Disorder, self-harming, suicidal ideation and severe anxiety.

Fighting Style: Highly Intense Brawler/Street Fighter
-Purely an offensive wrestler. No matter the pace, direction and location of the fight Erik is going to be coming forward at all times, looking to beat you up, beat you down, hit the Toxic Avenger or Project Gabriel and pin you.
-Highly resillient; this is a good thing because he's not a counter wrestler in the slightest.
-Very versed in the hardcore arts. Uses any weapon he can get his hands on, in order to execute violent high spots. Seems to especially prefer chairs and barbed wire.
-Has really perfected only a couple of suplexes, but doesn't really like to string them together--Executes those moves as momentum changers.
