Moore comes into the arena with Frank Klepacki - March to doom blaring out of the sound system. Stone has chosen Gimme Shelter as his entrance music. On his way into the cage it seems that Bobby Moore has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Bobby Moore seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
