Incheon Asiad Main Stadium
Incheon Asiad Main Stadium
It's has been hours after the entire Wednesday Night Warfare card had finished, everyone had moved on out. All that was left was technicians and cleaners trying to remove every technical aspect of the show, and also clean the Stadium, but there is one wrestler, still sitting in his changing room, looking into space.
That wrestler is Mastermind. We see he is battling with some sort of memory. Memories that go way back to his youth.
Now all we see is flashes, and all we hear are voices, voices talking to Mastermind himself.
"You're no good."
"You're useless."
"You're going to grow up to be the one to who lives with his parents, that's how good you'll become".
"I'm your son's guidance councillor, sir, and I am here to tell you, that your son will not make anything of himself after he leaves school. He's useless."
The flashes and the voices stop, and we are back with Mastermind who has a tear running down his face. He wipes it away and looks at the camera.
"Do you know the feeling that you get when your whole life has been turned upside down Bobby? Do you know the feeling that you get when you are told that you are worthless piece of shit? Do you know that feeling that you get when no one else believes in you? Do you know that feeling? Do you, Do you?
"Well I do. I had to fight three times as hard as everyone else growing up, because no one could figure me out. As a boy, I was constantly being told I was not going to make anything out of my safe, that I wasn't going to be successful, that I would eventually be the one that would stay behind and live your parents. How does that feel? How would that make you feel? It made me feel small. You're own brothers and sisters laughing at you, looking down their noses at you, to say they couldn't see me being great at anything, and the best thing for me to do was to live with Mum and Dad, they'll take care of you. Not you take care of them,
"Or what about your own School Guidance Councillor telling your parents that oh your son, we think, no we know, that he's not going to amount to anything. That he's basically going to be useless. That's a bloody School Guidance Councillor telling parents that. And he's suppose to guide you? How sick is that.
"Do you know the feeling that you get when you've let yourself down Bobby? Do you know the feeling that you get when you've let other people down?
"Anyone else speaks of feelings as if it's you're weakness. Their weakness. Well Bobby my feelings aren't my weakness, they make me wanna prove myself.
"So I sit here tonight having lost the Extreme Title, a title that I cared about, having lost to Swagmire, and thinking to myself, I'm useless. All my child hood memories come flooding back. Well I can tell you now, I know what I need to do.
"I'm not useless. I've been around many federations in the last 10-20 years of my life proving myself. Proving to others, proving to my own dam self that I am not that useless kid that everyone saw of me. I stand before the XWF as the former two time Ark of the Covenant Champion, and now the former Extreme Champion. Swagmire would say I cheated my way to get that title. I say hell no. There are only three ways you can win that title, and they are all legit. Challenging someone, being given the number 1 contender, or best yet pinning the champion. I chose option three only because of the opportunity.
"People can say what they want, and I don't care. I'm not that little boy anymore. I know what I've done is right, and I'm not useless. I've won matches here, and I've lost matches here, but I'm still not useless. It bloody hurts that I lost the title. Yes it means the world to me, but I know that one day soon I'll get it back. And if I stay for more than 3 or 4 years, I'll have oodles of opportunities to reclaim it.
"So Bobby, you can sit there thinking you're ready for me, think again. This hurt that I am feeling, this loss that I am feeling, the emotions that I am feeling and my history that I am feeling only means one thing. Determination.
"I am determined to come to Monday Night Madness, and turn your life to living hell. Redemption. I need to redeem myself, and I will. You just better be ready. I will be your biggest test of the year and I gurandamtee you that.
"I have to go to Gotham City, Illinois first , to take part in a Super Hero convention, and deal with Clyde Baker, and then I will be making my way to Los Angeles, California, to deal with you at Monday Night Madness. You better be ready."
Mastermind looks at the chair that had held the Extreme Belt earlier tonight, and next minute he booted it to the other side of the room. He walks to the door, and leaves.
