He gets into the ring and gets on the nearest turnbuckle to his right. He stops singing to pose by crossing his arms in an "X" over his head.

"Wait and Bleed" by SlipKnot

History:
Corey was a member of SlipKnot from 1994-2007. In 2007, Corey finished recording his last SlipKnot album and began training with Rey Mysterio. Mysterio later contacted Jeff Hardy and the trio began to train Corey to have both styles of fighting. After a year of training, Corey is ready to take the stage of wrestling by storm. Let's hope they are ready for him.
