Entrance Description:

*The lights in the arena go out completely, shrouding the crowd in darkness.  The opening riff of "Tom Sawyer" hits and a trio of blue spotlights begin to circle the cheering crowd.  Another blue light illuminates the entrance way as Eric Valor steps out, wearing his sunglasses and holding his arms in the air for the cheering crowd.  He slaps the hands of the fans on his way down the aisle, stopping at the end of it.  He reaches into his pocket and pulls of a small candy bar, handing it to a nearby child.  The crowd applauds as Valor slides into the ring and the lights go back to normal.*

Notes: Due to the nature of the move, it can only be used on opponents around the same size as Valor. Also, it's primarily used as a feud ender/desperation/point proving finisher in lieu of an Orton Punt or something. I know, it's awesome...so keeping it rare makes it awesome AND special.
