[4] Write out your wrestler's entrance to the ring as it would appear
before a match.
"Hero" by Mountains vs. Machines begins to play and just like that all lights goes out leaving the arena in darkness, as a short 13 second video plays. As this video ends, a bright light from the stage area shines through the smoke effects that has engulfed the stage area. Standing on both ends of the three step pedestal is Marcus Jr III (sporting a gray unzipped hoodie, gray & white Under Armour sweats) with his head down on the other end is Mile Samson who is accompanying Marcus to the ring, he too has his head down.
"You could be a hero
But here you are
Scared of your shadow
Looking at the stars
When everybody runs you gotta stand tall
Hit after hit you can never fall
If the stars come crashing
You'll be the one to catch them
Don't let go"
The two guys raise both their arms high in the air as silver fireworks shoots off from behind them, while red, white and blue strobe lights gives the arena a nice patriotic feel. The two young men make their way off the pedestals, as the are now on stage making their way down the ramp as the crowd welcomes them with cheers.
"You could be a hero
Scream your name
When the world comes crashing down you'll take the pain
You could be a hero
You'll find a way
Every battle let you closed on to today
You could be a hero"
Jr III and Samson make their way to the square circle, as both heads up the steel steps, one heading right, the other left. The two enters the ring and make their way to their respective turnbuckles to raise their arms in the air, only to receive a big welcome of cheers from the fans.
"You're almost there
But you've gotta keep fighting
Gotta stay prepared
You can't be afraid if you want to be great
Gotta give it all before it's too late
This is your moment
It's time for you to take it"
As the theme song fades and lights slowly returns to normal, Marcus Jr III proceeds to take off his jacket and then sweat pants, revealing his complete wrestling trunks, knee pads etc..

- No matter the situation, Marcus is cool, calm, collected, he always seem to figure a way out when he is down and in an unfortunate situation

[4] Summary of experience/history. Please be descriptive. This is important:
Marcus Jr III is the eldest of three siblings. He ran through competition during his High School and College days, winning a total of 3 NCAA Division titles. He started pro wrestling at around 21 years old, using his Amateur background as a stepping stone to take down much more experienced professional wrestlers than himself in side the square circle. Three years within his professional wrestling career, Marcus Jr III took a break from the square circle to focus on the Olympics. Many counted him out due to his time in professional wrestling, but Marcus who has made a regular to shock his naysayers, did just that, when he walked away and brought home gold for Team America. Marcus younger sister Kassie started dating professional boxer Soldier Hall, while the relationship lasted just over a year and a half, the friendship between Marcus and Soldier that originated thanks to Soldier being the boyfriend to Marcus' sister, has remained steady. Today the two seperate roads between the two athletes finally combine as the enter CWF as an all American elite team known as the All Star Americans.
