History
Formation
Over the course of weeks leading up to the formation, Focalin began posting strange and subliminal messages on the GBYWN forum, and one in particularly provocative was, "help me I'm in hell", that baffled and concerned everyone in regards to his well-being, as it was unlike his characteristics to behave in that matter, which led to a ban to his board membership due to spam. Many continued their worries upon hearing Focalin had altered into a different personality, filled with hostility and anger when Shooter contacted him over the phone.
Focalin aired a dark promo, apologizing for his actions and emotionally imploring for forgiveness. Planning to reveal his mystery, it became evident that the incident was a "work", or in other terms, a storyline angle that depicted his evil, demonic transformation within his mind, which was all explained through a series of subsequent promos. Struggling through fears and insanity, Focalin claimed the Devil reached out to him while in hell, "burned" him painfully for why he said "help me I'm in hell" and, in his "Awakening", was reincarnated to adapt to the "flames of the sin", as a newborn demon, declaring on Devil's weekend that the demons would "Awaken" with him. The words "Awake" and "Awaken" were also highly emphasized throughout.
In one promo Focalin stated, "There comes a time in your life when you finally get it. When in the midst of all your fears and insanity, you stop dead in your tracks and somewhere, the voice inside your head cries out, enough! Enough fighting...and crying...of struggling to hold on. And like a child quieting...quieting down after a blind tantrum, your softs begin to subside, you shuttle once or twice, you blink back your tears and...the rue mantle of a wet lashes, you begin to look at the world from a new perspective. This is your awakening!"
Inching closer to Devil's weekend, Focalin unveiled that his demons were going to awaken at the Revival supershow, Just Another Supershow 6, though promoted as Just Another Supershow 666 taking place on October 31, 2010, the day of Halloween.
At the event, Sic Ric competed against DC Doom in a competitive match. However, Ric tuned up his violent ways towards his opponent to ensure he secured the victory. After the match, Doom displayed his sportsmanship by extending his hand out of respect, and Ric seeing him as "good enough", allowed him to join his alliance with Bsnow in Day One. During Ric's handshake with Doom, Ric shockingly followed up, "good enough for me to take my f*cking crashes out on", before executing a devastating forearm smash.
Day One continued to pummel Doom until Shooter made the save to question their actions. Shooter assisted Doom to his feet to commend him on the match, but only shortly to much surprise, turned on Doom and embraced with Day One. In the aftermath of a match between Bsnow and Focalin, Day One expressed their respect for Focalin by shaking his hand, but Focalin distanced himself from the crew.
Before a match could occur, Ric and Bsnow come out and beat down Hack Edjamin and Super Phoenix, who were scheduled to face off. Focalin, trying to break up the brawl that ensues, almost immediately attacked Edjamin and Phoenix, eventually causing Chris Castle to arrive at their aide. Devin Bliss rushed out to halt the interference of his tag partner, both known collectively the Young Gunz, claiming he was "not apart of it", and in the act of the final member, betrayed Castle. Focalin declared that "we are The Awakening...my demons are with me".
