"Reunited" - Wu Tang Clan
Entrance
In-Ring Attire
Various knee-lengthed biker tights, exclusively in black, white, and silver color schemes. While the exact design may vary, typically they're produced with "EBR" going down one leg and ポルターガイストon the other.
Style
The history of EBR's in-ring style is, to put it mildly, complicated. While Gregg Williams may have brought the "kill the head" mantra into mainstream sports in North America, it was a strategy EBR employed for years - literally, as his offense consisted of various strikes to his opponent's head while simultaneously looking to drop them on it. While successful, it brought its fair share of criticism as EBR was often accused of being one of the dirtiest wrestlers in both the WFWF and XWA, all the while facing allegations of trying to injure fellow wrestlers.
It was during his time spent in Japan that EBR seemed to perfect this style, both in efficiency and perhaps more importantly, morally. While still utilizing a physically imposing style, his offense is performed strictly within the rules of the match and with an element of respect towards his opponent. All rules are obliged, the referee's directions are followed, and he often looks to engage in pre or post match handshakes. Typically EBR's most dangerous offense is performed as needed, as the match progresses, all in an effort to get the victory.
But make no mistake; opponents are still getting hit.

Entrance Music
"Reunited" - Wu Tang Clan
Entrance
The lighting dims as the opening drums and violin chords of "Reunited" by the Wu-Tang Clan resonate throughout the arena. The crowd stirs for twenty seconds until the genius known as GZA's verse hits, EBR emerging from the back to a loud cheer from the crowd. Clad in a black boxing robe adjourned with a hood, he briefly pauses before he departs down the entrance ramp. Once he reaches the ringside area he slowly saunters around the ring, beginning a slow yet dramatic ascension of the steel ring steps. Once he reaches the top he produces a bottle of powder out of his robe, tapping the contents onto his hand before discarding the bottle (which is historically found on eBay several days later). With a spotlight shining on him and rubbing the powder onto his hands, he hurls it into the air, creating a white cloud as his hood simultaneously falls from his head to yet another pop from the crowd. He enters the ring and approaches his respective corner, removing his robe as he awaits the start of the match.
