Ring Entrance:
['Revolution Is My Name' by Pantera begins to play over the PA System, as the
lights around the wrestler's entrance slowly begin to dim to complete darkness.
Strobe lights start to flash on either side of the entrance, and smoke slowly
begins to cloud over the entranceway.]

"THE RRRRREVOLUTION" RRRRRRRRRRANDALLLLLLL CRRRRRRRRRRANNNNNNNNNNE!!!!!!!!!!
[The lights at the wrestlers entrance stop flashing, lighting up
all around as the curtains are thrown back. Standing there is the massive frame
of Randall Crane, who smiles wickedly as he takes in the boos. Crane slowly
raises one arm to the crowd, as they boo even louder. It is then that Crane
makes his way down to the ring, walking down the aisle at a normal pace,
smirking at the insults being thrown at him. He takes a moment to talk trash to
a few of the fans, then walks away from them as they boo, which is very audible
to the camera. Crane makes his way to the ringside area, as he slowly climbs the
steps leading into the ring. He stands at the ring apron, then lifts one leg
over the top rope, followed by the other. Crane gets into the ring, ascending
one of the turnbuckles, raising an arm into the air. As the crowd boos him,
Crane lets them know what he thinks by flipping them off, the boos getting even
louder. Crane then decends the ropes, walking over to his corner, where he takes
off his shirt, handing it to one of the ring attendants. He then prepares for
his match.]

Profile:
Randall Crane has had a wrestling background since he was a child. His
grandfather Miles Crane was a wrestling promoter in the late 30s and early 40s,
one of the pioneers of the wrestling business. His father, 'The Natural' Lucas
Crane was a wrestler in the 70s, before getting hurt.
Growing up, Crane got to participate in all of the festivities, meeting wrestlers, travelling the country, and learning the wrestling moves. He was trained by his grandfather and father, so he got to know wrestling both as a sport and as a business. He quickly learned everything taught.
His grandfather died soon after his 18th birthday, right as Crane was going to begin his quest as a wrestler. Before he was scheduled to fight, Crane took off out the door, no-showing and jeopardizing his career. It would remain like this for three years, with Crane just training.
At the age of 21, Crane managed to get back onto his feet, right before he was forgotten. In a small independent promotion just outside of Macon, GA, Crane wrestled his first match in front of a crowd of 100, dedicating his performance that night to his grandfather.
This is when he began his rise to stardom. Crane would stay in the indys for the next 3 years, until he was scouted by a fledgling indy out of California called A-1 Promotions. This was a small promotion with some decent talent, and Crane ascended to the top of the hill. Crane managed to win his first gold, capturing the A-1 Pro Heavyweight Title. He became the first and ultimately last champion, as the promotion only lasted a couple of months, closing due to lack of funding.
Crane then joined IWWC shortly, but ended up leaving. It was then that he was contacted by '2 Smooth' Setzer Van Strife, who managed to take Crane under his wing. After learning more about what it takes to become the best, Crane ended up coming back, joining first NEO then EMWC as half of a tag team named Future Force.
After losing the EMWC Tag Team Titles two months later, they were subject to a mass firing from the EMWC Executive Staff, finding out later that the tag team division was being restructured to bring new life to it. Crane then took a bit of a hiatus from the sport.
Crane then came back to the sport in 2002, to a small promotion called VWF. There he managed to get into a bitter feud, which culminated in him being in a car accident. Once rehabilitated back to health, Crane rejoined VWF and A1 Promotions, who reopened its doors.
Crane slowly climbed back to the top, claiming the VWF T3 Title and regaining the A1 King of the Coast. Soon after he lost the T3 Title, but 2 weeks later earned the promotions top title. A1 has now closed, and Crane now looks for other opportunities to shine.
