Mike Ray, Trane's residential manager of product marketing, stood in the middle of a makeshift boxing ring on stage, imitating a ring announcer. He introduced various personnel on stage to talk about the company's new residential, light commercial, and commercial products; controls; outdoor products and systems; packaged systems; and split systems. Each came running to the stage, wearing boxing apparel and a robe, complete with nicknames embroidered on the back. This included the likes of Greg "Muddy" Waters, systems leader for outdoor products, and Tim "Thunder" Storm, product manager for furnaces and coils.
