Entrance:

For usual matches/occasions:

The distorted intro to Korn’s “Here To Stay” kicks in as the fans begin to stand to their feet in cheers. But the song is interrupted by the sound of a radio changing stations, which flows into a blip of “Full Nelson” by Limp Bizkit. After that plays for a few more seconds, the same fuzzy radio sound comes in again, this time leading to “Take A Look Around” by Limp Bizkit, which plays for a few moments as well. Again, the radio sound interferes and changes to “Bittersweet” by Fuel, which plays a little longer than the previous songs. And as if on cue, the radio static noise shoots out again, leading back into the intro of “Here To Stay”. The fans grow louder in cheers, breaking out a huge ovation.

A few moments of anticipation pass by until Ring of Honor Icon Lord Sean “Magic” Fiery emerges out from behind the curtains, carrying his signature sledgehammer to a large praise from the crowd. He stands at the top of the ramp with a giant smile on his face, and then looks around with his usual psychotic grin. Magic stalls a couple of seconds, then lifts the sledgehammer over his head and slams it down on the ramp in front of him, just as he’s done times before. Just as the hammer makes contact, a display of pyros set off behind him. He makes his way down to the ring, going up to various fans and giving them handshakes and high fives, which sends them into a jolt of excitement. Magic makes a rout around the entire ringside area, giving the fans his respect as he makes it full circle (or square) until he reaches the front of the ring. He then slides under the bottom rope and gets inside the ring, in which he climbs to the second rope and holds his sledgehammer up. This brings out a sea of flashes from cameras as people attempt to capture the moment. Sean then kisses the hammer and sets it in one of the corners. “Here To Stay” finally manages to fade out as Lord Fiery prepares for the upcoming encounter in his own corner.


For the more grand entrances (Aftermath, Anniversary Armageddon, Heatwave, Lord of the Coliseum, etc.)

The distorted intro to Korn’s “Here To Stay” kicks in as the fans begin to stand to their feet in cheers. But the song is interrupted by the sound of a radio changing stations, which flows into a blip of “Full Nelson” by Limp Bizkit. After that plays for a few more seconds, the same fuzzy radio sound comes in again, this time leading to “Take A Look Around” by Limp Bizkit, which plays for a few moments as well. Again, the radio sound interferes and changes to “Bittersweet” by Fuel, which plays a little longer than the previous songs. Then, the arena goes dark and silent, except for the commotion from the fans.

Suddenly, a graphic appears up on the screen which has a sledgehammer rushing towards it and acting as if it’s just busted into some glass, creating a spider web across the screen. In each web of glass is a clip of some of Magic’s greatest moments, each overlapping each other in soundbites. The sledgehammer comes back onto the screen and breaks away the webbed glass, shattering it completely.

The attention focuses back to the stage where a big glass plate has been placed in front of the entranceway with a bright beam of light shining behind it. Then, a figure begins to walk towards the glass plate, with no real identity revealed as they are shadowed out by the light and the glass plate distorts them a bit. The figure stands in front of the glass plate for a moment while the fans burst out in cheers, only assuming it to be one person.

Sure enough, the figure rears back with what appears to be a sledgehammer and bursts the glass into pieces with one hard shot, and right on cue with that, “Here To Stay“ by Korn kicks in. Ring of Honor Icon Sean “Magic” Fiery stands in the wreckage of broken glass, holding his personalized sledgehammer, all the while his signature psychotic grin smeared across his face as the crowd goes absolutely crazy. Magic stalls a couple of seconds, then lifts the sledgehammer over his head and slams it down on the ramp in front of him. Just as the hammer makes contact, a display of pyros make their way up the ramp towards Sean. Once they reach the top of the ramp, another set of pyros fire off behind him.

He then makes his way down to the ring, going up to various fans and giving them handshakes and high fives, which sends them into a jolt of excitement. Magic makes a rout around the entire ringside area, giving the fans his respect, until he reaches the front of the ring. He then slides under the bottom rope and gets inside, in which he climbs to the second rope and holds his sledgehammer up. This brings out a sea of flashes from cameras as people attempt to capture the moment. He continues to do this to the other three sides of the ring to give his attention to each section in the audience. Sean hops back down and kisses his hammer and places it off in the corner closest to the time keeper as his music fades out.


Gimmick:
There is no one gimmick for Magic. He changes faces frequently. One minute he'll be cocky and confident, then the next moment he'll be psychotic and out of his mind. He's also a comedic, ranging from just poking fun at people to using dark comedy to freak people out. He's often sarcastic and likes to pick fun at his opponents with his cynical behavior. It's often questioned whether he has a multi-personality disorder (schizophrenia) with his constant change of attitude and state of mind.


Wrestling Style:
Technical, risk taker, agile, a bit speedy, psychotic and vicious. Will work on the back and/or legs to set up for his three main finishers. Will bust out his signature sledgehammer and use it when opponents try to cheat, or just for the sake of bashing someone's face in. If Magic is pushed to a certain point he'll go absolutely ballistic and attack his enemies in a violent rage. He can participate in some of the most hardcore matches, but he's also very well groomed as a veteran wrestler. He loves to get inside people's heads, try to turn his enemies on each other, and bring up some very convincing theories (from happenings in past storylines to backstage politics).

Friends and Enemies:

Jericho "Raze" Cross
A very brutal feud that started at Thy Kingdom Come, Lord of the Coliseum, 2007 where Magic returned to GZW. He had defeated Raze in the first round, but was taken out backstage by his fellow stablemates before he could move on to round two. It then escaladed to a very gruesome Last Man Standing match at Aftermath 2K7, which Fiery won by sending Jericho off a scaffold and down into a bunch of steel chairs. The psychological battle is where most of the work is done, however, and often times Jericho can pull Sean into his darkest side, which seems to be the only way Fiery can beat him. Although it only started less than a year ago, their rivalry is one of the most anticipated in the business. Recently, Fiery challenged Cross to a Best of Three Falls match. It's only a matter of time until their destructive feud will lead to this match. But there's no doubt that things won't end there, and neither men will complain about that.

Lord Leon Corbin
It's not hard to figure out the heat between these two contrasting individuals... The GZW World Heavyweight Championship. Magic had won it from Corbin at Anniversary Armageddon 2008, but that was just the beginning of things. Sean believed that the belt should be carried with honor and dignity, while Corbin just wanted the Championship no matter the means. Their feud led up to Heatwave V where they had a Three Way Match, including Leon's husband, Vernon Vanderbilt. In the end, Sean lost the Championship and was viciously attacked by Leon and his other family members, including Tommy Casper and James "Monarch" Corbin. There's no telling where their feud goes from here, but one can assume that it's far from over.

James "Monarch" Corbin
Although they haven't had much to fight over, except for a Last Man Standing match a few years back which led to a draw, they've had some verbal encounters. Despite that, Magic has announced his respect for the man, no matter how much he despises his attitude. Recently, James called out Sean during his World Championship reign. So, in response, Fiery challenged Corbin to an East of Eden match, which has been banned from GZG. The feud got even more intense at Heatwave V when James attacked Sean after losing the World Championship. Magic swore revenge, not only to Monarch, but to his family as well.

Lord Seth Raide
They've never fought, but Sean and Raide have had a few verbal interactions that have gotten very heated. Raide, apparently, just likes to push Fiery's buttons and watch him get angry as he digs under his skin. Nothing surprising coming from Seth, but Magic has never backed down or let his stabbing words get to him. It might not be physical yet, but the mindgames are surely going to push them to it in time.

Nathan Williams
On-and-off-and-on-and-off again friendship/hatred that has been one of the biggest, most horrific feuds in GZW history. Started off forming “The Forsaken” back in the EWO-era, then parted ways to peruse personal goals. Their falling out happened when Magic had started to mess with Nathan’s wife, Angel Profit-Williams, who was pregnant at the time. It escalated when Magic hit her with a sledgehammer in the legs, leading into the first chapter of their heated rivalry. They have recently come to terms with each other. He was also the best man at Magic’s wedding.

Justin Sharp
Although they’ve had very few matches, they have had some of the most heated verbal feuds in GZW. Magic fought Justin in what was announced to be his last match at Aftermath 2K4 in which he had to use three Hydras to put Magic out. The retirement obviously wasn’t written in stone.

Sincere
Magic won his first and only Heavyweight Championship off of Sincere at GZW’s “first” PPV, Heatwave. Years later, he joined Sincere’s “Chaos Theory” by surrendering his Intercontinental Championship as his ticket, and in return Sincere promised him another shot at the very title Magic won from him years before. Nothing happened of this deal and the two have remained distant from one another for the time being.

Pimp Bizkit
Quite possibly one of Magic’s biggest rivals, having quite the war for the Intercontinental Championship. They have never seen eye-to-eye, ever since their “Forsaken”/”E.S.P.” war back in the EWO-era. Their first major feud started when Pimp kidnapped Steph during her and Magic’s honeymoon and forcing her to kiss him. From then on out, their hatred for one another only grew and still remains today.

“Smooth Operator” Billy Bond
Feuded back in the EWO-era in the “Forsaken”/”E.S.P” war. Magic wife at the time started to lose feelings for him and started to gain some for Billy Bond. Eventually, Crystal left Magic for Bond, which actually worked out better for everyone as Magic shortly after got together with Steph. Ever since, however, Bond and Fiery have rarely ever been on the same page and have shown a bit of animosity towards one another for some unknown reason.

EZ Money/Eric Montaire/Novacaine
Again, feuded back in the “Forsaken”/”E.S.P.” war and also had a good feud for the Light Heavyweight Championship. Eric eventually returned as the mysterious Novacaine and tormented Magic for quite some time, pushing him further into his darker side and summoning “The Forsaken One”. Ever since that feud, Magic has never been the same and often reveals that twisted side of himself, all thanks to the man he had his first major feud with.

Maxx Pain
Have always hated each other and always will. Their verbal battles aren’t hard to find and they generally don’t hesitate to insult one or the other. They’ve had a couple of matches here and there, but their most heated feud will always be over the mic.

“Wicked Ways” Deacon Kane
Made Magic’s Heavyweight Championship reign a nightmare as he interfered in just about every match. Eventually, he got a title shot and beat Magic for the title. During their rematch at Dark Horizon, Magic technically won his belt back, but the rules were suddenly changed on him afterwards and ended up losing the rematch. Magic has shown a great deal of hatred towards the “Wicked One” ever since.

Albert Wuchie
Been friends with Magic since he first came to GZW and occasionally interviews him, despite leaving his announcing job to wrestle.

Eclipse
Were friends earlier in life and reunited in GZW, but have had troubles over time. Eclipse turned on Magic to side with Justin Sharp during their last encounter, putting them on bad terms ever since.

Crystal Fiery
Ex-wife. Left him for “Smooth Operator” Billy Bond. Remained on good terms, however, and speak every now and then.

Career Highlights:

Winning the first ever Light Heavyweight Championship deep in GZW's early history when it was called EWO. Magic won the championship while participating in a one-night tournament at EWO's first PPV, Hell and High Water, in which he defeated Eddie Henchman, Fall'N Angel, and Defiant.

After losing the Light Heavyweight Championship to EZ Money (AKA Eric Montair/Novacaine) in a ladder match, Magic went on to win the GZW Heavyweight Championship against Sincere at Heatwave, GZW's first PPV under the new name. Many critics say that his championship reign began the "golden" days of GZW.

Defeating Firefly, Sincere, T-Rex, and Wicked Ways in a 5-Way match on September 3, 2001 for the GZW Heavyweight Championship.

Winning the GZW Intercontinental Championship on the April 16, 2002 edition of Tuesday Crimson against Symon, who he defeated moments after Symon defeated Pimp Bizkit. Magic attacked Symon after the match, then Sincere, who was Deputy Commissioner at the time, announced that Symon would defend his championship against Magic at that point in time. Magic got the 3 count, the win, the Intercontinental Championship, and gained the quickest victory in GZW history right then.

Defeating Pimp Bizkit in a 60 Minute Iron Man Match for the Intercontinental Championship, in which Magic retained, on the June 18, 2002 edition of Tuesday Crimson.

Although the match ended in a draw, the Last Man Standing match between Nathan Williams and Magic for the Intercontinental Championship is a fan-favorite to this date. The match took place on the huge Fallout: Zero Hour PPV and is said to be one of the best out of many Last Man Standing matches in GZW's history.

Joining Chaos Theory by surrendering his Intercontinental Championship to Sincere, who made promises at a chance to become World Heavyweight Champion.

After the rebirth of GZW, Magic was placed as the Special Guest Referee in the first deciding match for the new GZW World Heavyweight Champion in a cage match which saw Pimp Bizkit defeat John Taylor after Nathan Williams literally came out from under the ring and assisting his brother-in-law and putting Magic out.

Facing off against Nathan Williams in a best 2 out of 3 falls match at Collision Course, in which they only managed to get to the second match (first being a Last Man Standing, second being an I Quit match) as Seth Richards demanded that the contest be stopped due to the injuries sustained to both men. The third fall was decided at a later date, in which Magic won.

Making it to the finals of the LotC against John Taylor, and although losing to Taylor, both put on one of the greatest matches in GZW history.

Facing off against Justin Sharp in what was planned to be the last match of Magic's career at Aftermath 2K4. Justin had to deliver THREE Hydras in order to put the stake in Magic's career...

Or so he thought.

He shockingly returned at the 2007 Lord of the Coliseum tournament. He defeated Raze in the first roung, but was soon attacked and Raze took his place in the second round.

This launched a war with Raze, which escalated at Aftermath 2K7 where the two fought in GZW's defining Last Man Standing match. Magic won after throwing Raze off a balcony onto a sea of steel chairs, almost killing him. The battle might have been won by Sean, but the war surely isn't over.

He then went on to win Contest of Champions IX, earning himself a shot at Leon Taylor for the World Heavyweight Championship at Anniversary Armageddon.

At Anniversary Armageddon, Sean went on to defeat Lord Leon Corbin (changing his last name that evening) to become the GZW2K1 World Heavyweight Champion for only the second time in his career, the first time being 7 years prior. Although suffering a broken arm in the match, he went on to win and end Lord Corbin's reign and promising to ignite another Golden Era.

Retaining his Championship at Big Bang in a Four Corner's match against Kid Kaos, Raze, and Leon Corbin. All men were left bloody and mangled, but Fiery walked out Champion in the end, due to his infamous "ninth inning magic".

At Heatwave V, he lost the Championship in a Three Way match with Leon and Vernon Vanderbilt. Leon recaptured the belt after Vernon had turned on Magic and gave him a low blow at the end of the match, ultimately leading to a Corbin victory. Magic was viciously attacked after the match by the two, followed by Tommy Casper and James "Monarch" Corbin as well. Afterwards, in a psychotic rage, he threatened to pick apart the Corbin family one-by-one until Leon is all alone.
