He also has Creeping Death, which is a song by Metallica, and Full Blast, a term commonly associated with music volume.
 * The odd move out, is Crow, which maybe be a reference to the movie The Crow, whose title character is somewhat reminiscent of Freeman himself, only good, and Freeman may be a fan.
 * In his pre-fight intro, Freeman appears wearing an outfit similar to the killer in the Halloween franchise, Michael Meyers. Freeman takes a bow, and the outfit and mask come off, sliced to ribbons.
