INCHEON, SOUTH KOREA

INCHEON ASIAD MAIN STADIUM

The camera fades in to the dressing room of Mastermind. It shows him sitting on a chair staring at a chair in front of him. On that chair, was the Extreme Championship Belt. He kept staring at it. He then spoke.

"All roads lead here. All roads lead to Incheon, South Korea. All roads lead from last week, to this very second. All roads lead from me winning that belt to having to defend it for the first official time tonight.

"Since I won this belt, I have had to defend it 28 times. Everyone has come at me, wanting to take this belt off of me, but I fought back, and I fought back hard. That is what tonight is all about. Never giving up.

"But the same can't be said of you Swagmire. You've gone to ground. We've hardly heard a peep out of you in the last couple of days. That's shown to me that you feel that you have met your match. You crossed the line that you could never get back from, and since then, you have run like the dog that you are with the tail between your legs.

"I'm expecting a fierce fight from you tonight Swagmire. I wouldn't have it any other way. But the thing that you have to remember, you have to work three times as hard to win this belt. I have this belt. It's right there in front of me. If you lose you lose. If I lose I lose the belt. You came with nothing, and you should leave with nothing. I came with the belt, and I am leaving with the belt."

Mastermind gets up and starts pacing. He keeps one eye on the belt.

"Everyone thinks it's just a belt. Everything must be thinking, why do I think it's something else. That I'm treating it with respect. Because It was what I have treasured since stepping foot in the XWF. Never mind the former Arc of the Covenant Title. But this belt.

"Everyone must now be thinking, if and when I lose this belt, will that be it, will I focus on another title like the Tag teams or the Trios, or even the Television Belt? I tried chasing the Trios. I failed because a partner never showed up. I have often said I'd prefer to fight alone. And this just shows it. I'll go after the Television Belt, I'll eventually go after the Universe Belt, but I will always, always keep trying to win this back again.

"I will always, always be winning titles. Why? Because I know I am that dam good. Other people don't think so. Well they're not me. It's what I think that matters."

Mastermind walks over to the chair and sits back down. He starts rocking. He stops.

"I have to admit Swagmire, you made me go to a place where I really didn't want to go to during to week. You made me angry to the extreme. But I must admit I need to congratulate you on helping me. Because that's when you faded. You saw a monster that you couldn't cope with. You failed.

"You may win the belt tonight, you may not. But at least I gave it one good showing. I pissed a lot of people off this week. There's so many people out there who want this belt. No, sorry, need this belt.

Mastermind gets up and walks over to the door, and opens it, and looks out. He closes it. Looks back at the camera. He walks over to the Title. He picks it up, and places it over his shoulders. He looks into the camera.

"All roads point to now. Swagmire, it's time to drive down that road and make a name for yourself. Are you going to crash and burn? I think you are. That's what we'll put on your grave stone. Here lies Swagmire. Failed in his attempt to win the Extreme Title from Mastermind - 3rd September 2014. He just crashed and burned.

"I like that. Those are your last rites."

Mastermind starts laughing, and he keeps on laughing. Then he gets stops. Gets up, and walk over to the door.

"It's time."

The camera fades out.
