Commentator Prompt
 
#BREATHE!
#OH!
#WHOO! WHOO! WHOO!
 
Commentator Prompt
 
[The song being played is "Breathe" by Fabolous, and as the body of the rap starts, the curtains part and in walks Xavier Langston, a sole white spotlight focused on him as the lights dim slightly. Xavier is wearing a sleeveless black trenchcoat, black wrestling tights, and a pair of black wrestling boots. His appearance prompts a mixed reaction from the crowd: some are politely applauding the newcomer, giving him a shot, while others are booing him for his ties with the now-defunct World Wrestling Alliance.]
 
Commentator Prompt
 
[Xavier walks down the aisle, keeping a smile on his face. Fans who have their hands outstretched looking for a high five receive it. Fans with their fingers outstretched are ignored.]
 
Commentator Prompt
 
[Xavier slides into the ring and flips to his feet, his trenchcoat billowing in the wind behind him. Staring right at his opponent, he slips the sleeveless trench off of his body, letting it fall off of his arms. He catches it with his right hand and, in one motion, flicks it out of the ring. He then raises his left hand in the air in a fist, drawing another mixed reaction as the lights come up and the spotlight dims.]

In-Ring Match Preparation
None.  Xavier is prepared for battle the moment he steps in that ring.

Bio
XL has mocha-colored skin and short, curly blonde hair that is styled in the same vein as Simon Phoenix in Demolition Man. His upper-body is chiseled (six-pack abs, well-defined muscles) and hairless. Outside of the ring, he will often wear blue South Pole jeans, Timberlands, and T-shirts whose sleeves are ripped off, exposing his muscular arms. In cold weather, he will often wear a bulky black jacket. In the ring, XL wears long, black trunks with "Da Man" down the outside of each leg in silver font. He wrestles with a bare upper body, but he comes to the ring in a plain, sleeveless black trench coat and while wearing sunglasses.
