Yrkje kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is As Good As I Once Was. Doomsday is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Main Theme - Doom Eternal. Both these guys have really solid chins. Will we see a standup war or will they both decide that a knockout is unlikely and try to win the fight elsewhere?
