Cry me a river - Mastermind - 04-20-2020

EARLY 2018
MEETING WITH ANTONY THE JERK FOR THE FIRST TIME
WELLINGTON, NEW ZEALAND

I had decided to bring Anthony The Jerk to New Zealand, instead of me drawing attention to myself and flying to the United States, which would make it look suspicious. Don't forget I hadn't returned to the XWF yet. I was due to return in September 2018.

So my wife, Maria, and I as well as an old friend of mine, Outback Jack, who was one of my earlier trainers, met with Andony at my home.


One of my aides who had met Antony at the airport led him into the house. I stood up and held out my hand.

"Mr. Antony.,"

"Mr. Mastermind."

"This is my wife Maria," I said ushering to Maria

"Mrs. Mastermind," Antony said smiling

"Antony," replied Maria shaking his hand

"And this is an old friend of mine, Outback Jack. I thought he could help with this meeting,"

"Hi Antony," said Outback Jack sternly

"I'm aware of Outback Jack," replied Antony "He's a great trainer. I've had a couple of clients who's been trained by Jack,"

"Let me guess who one of those 'clients' maybe? Drake The Melbournian Commander?"

Antony gave a wry smile "Correct,"

Outback Jack looked at me "Drake Commander had a little bit of an attitude while he was with me, I've heard since he shifted to the States, his attitude has been much more pronounced all under the good tutorledge of Antony here,"

"I can't help it if he picked up some habits of mine," smiled Antony

"Gentlemen," started Maria "Let's not have a pissing competition here, we are here for a meeting,"

I looked at Maria. She was right of course. There was a little bit of friction between Outback Jack, and Antony.

Maria smiled back at me. I just gave her a little wink to let her know that she was right to say that.

I led everyone over to a table and sat down.

"So as I take it from the email that you sent me," started Antony "You would like to set up a training center in the States, have trainers from all over the world come to this training center, and in the context of setting up a stable at your convenience to have them ready to come into the XWF at your time of choosing. Is this correct?"

"That's correct," I replied

"But we would like to be 'silent' partners," started Maria "And only you would know this. So we would need to be absolutely confident that you wouldn't say anything to potential trainers, on account of who my husband is, can you guarantee that Mr. Antony?"

I again looked at Maria. I had never been a part of a business meeting with Maria, but she wasn't scared to speak her mind, which was always like that with our relationship, so seeing adding that to her business was a good sign.

"I can guarantee you that Mrs. Mastermind,"

"I'm happy with that then," replied Maria smiling at me

"We have decided the stable to be called The Misfits," I started "Are you happy with that Antony?"

"Very happy with that Mr. Mastermind, I like that name. As I see myself as a rebel and a misfit,"

"Sounds like we got the right person for the job," I said looking at Outback Jack

"Yes," replied Outback Jack looking at his notes "You would need somewhere to train these people, Mr. Antony. Do you have somewhere to set up and do you have trainers to help with their training, especially wrestling?"

"I have a place in mind. It'll be away from my training center as I don't want to have two lots of businesses in the same place!"

"We would need your 100 percent focus," I stated "And commitment. That's why I am hiring you for this job. If you can't do it, then I understand. Your other 'business' would have to go on hold,"

"I understand that," replied Antony nodding. "I'm prepared to pass the reigns on to my business partner."

"Good, then I'm prepared to buy a complex and put money in to get it up to speed," I replied, "Where is it that you live?"

"Miami, Florida."

"Nice area," replied Outback Jack "Would you mind if I made a suggestion?"

"By all means go ahead," replied Antony

Outback Jack looked at Maria and me, and we both nodded.

"Now we've only just met you," started Outback Jack "And Mastermind and Maria have said yes to hiring you, but we don't know you from a bar of soap. But you come with good credentials, judging by your c.v. But I would like to make sure we can trust you by allowing one of my staff to be employed in this new venture. Will you allow me that?"

Antony looked across to me. "Is this what you would like?"

I nodded. I had to give it to Outback Jack, he was always looking out for me. That was actually a good idea for him.

"I actually would like that," I replied, grabbing my laptop and opening it up

Antony gave a quick nod, but didn't look very happy "Fine I'll allow that."

"You don't look very happy," replied Maria "Is there an issue?"

"Nope," replied Antony "I'd prefer to work alone, but I understand what is being asked, so I'll roll with it,"

"You wouldn't be working alone," stated Maria "Both 'M' and I would be silent partners, but when it comes down to it, 'M's' decision to announced himself as the overall contributor of the Misfits at his chosen time, then it would show that you weren't working alone."

Ladies and gentlemen, my wife, a very shrewd businesswoman.

Again Antony didn't look very happy, but my wife continued.

"Because as you say, you'd prefer to work alone, most of the time, it would be my husband checking up on things, and especially when you get 'clients' ready to be able to represent The Misfits within the XWF, they need to be well and truly ready, because by the time, 'M' announces he is behind the forming of the stable, we can't make it look misleading.... not that I think that you would be misleading anyone. as you don't seem the person to suffer fools lightly."

"I appreciate your kind words, Mrs 'M'" replied Antony "And I get that's what you would like to do Mr. Mastermind. And so I'm willing to let go of my ego and work with you. But only if you allow me to express myself to the way I do best against other members of the XWF roster."



"I wouldn't have it any other way," I smirked, "That's a deal."

"I bet you would piss a whole lot of XWF people off," said Outback Jack

"I'm intending to," replied Antony chuckling

I passed Antony my laptop.

"Is this site suitable to train the Misfits?"

Antony took a look at the photo that I had chosen and smiled "It's perfect."

He handed me back the laptop and I got quickly on my phone and stood up, and walked off.

Maria passed Antony a contract.

"Look through that, it's a great contract, I'm sure you'll like the price, we are offering,"

"Just wanted to ask a quick question,"

"Sure, fire away."

"Who will I be dealing with, you, or Mr. Mastermind?"

This question made Maria smile "95 percent of the time it will be with 'M', but I'm taking an interest as well, so I might call in from time to time, but it'll be mainly, 'M'."

"Very good," replied Antony

I returned to the table "Good news, I have a contact in Miami, who will contact the agent for that site, and it should be ours within 24 hours,"

"Wow, you move fast," said Antony

"When I really want something I go after it and make sure I get it. Where are you staying tonight?"

"Haven't thought about it,"

"You have to look over your contract, so I suggest you stay here for the night if it's okay with my wife?" I said looking at Maria

Maria giggled "Of course it's okay with me. I'll get one of the staff to prepare a room for Antony."

I looked over at Outback Jack, "Will you be staying tonight too, Jack?"

"No, it looks like you guys have the situation under control. I'm happy that I get to have a representative working within the Misfits, and keeping an eye on things."

"Would you like to stay for tea at least Jack?" asked Maria

"Well my flight isn't for another few more hours, so I guess I would love to," smiled Outback Jack

"So this meeting is over for the time being," I stated looking at Antony in particular "After you looked over your contract tonight, we can have our final meeting tomorrow morning,"


"Sounds good," replied Antony "Thank you for your hospitality,"



END OF PART ONE



ENROUTE FROM NEW ZEALAND TO THE UNITED STATES

The camera fades into the cabin of Mastermind's private jet, and it finds his wrapping his fingers on the table in front of him. Mastermind looks out the window before looking back into the camera. He looked mighty pissed off.

"It seems to me like the fuckers that are Chris Chaos and Centurion have both got selective fucking memories so I'm here now to put them fucking well straight, as they well and truly need their fucking heads read. So are you two ready for the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth? Too bad if you are not because this isn't a popularity contest, it's wrestling.for god fucking sake."


"Chris Chaos. You seemed to focus on Centurion more than you focused on me. That's your biggest mistake yet. That's your biggest fucking downfall yet. Go on, continue to focus your attention away from me, and see what perils come your way..

"I mean you stated that since your win at Lethal Lottery you have been waiting for that opportunity to come your way to face the Hart Champion one on one for months now. Pull the fucking other leg, Chris. Don't sprout that bullshit. We all now that you have been in hiding from the Hart Champion whomever it maybe, whether it be Tony Santos or Centurion. You are scared shitless of both of them. You stayed in the shadows because you knew and you still know that you couldn't; beat either one of them one on one. The whole XWF knows this. You are a complete bull fucking shitter. A complete basket case."


DON'T CRY FOR ME ARGENTINA

You didn't think it would be easy
You didn't think it would be strange
but you hid in the shadows
because you know your one weakness
You can't beat the top Champions
Oh Don't cry for me Argentina



"Chris Chaos, you then go on about how bad my results have been. You are another one who continues to sprout on about my record. My overall record. Do you like following others in doing this scenario Chris, do you? Both you and Centurion are exactly the same. So I'll tell both of you what you really should know.

"Yes, my overall record has been shit. I'll be the first one to admit that. But that's because my first two years I took on everyone who I came across, and I did not hide in the shadows because some weeks or months were hard, but what you guys don't seem to focus on, I was green back then. All I fucking wanted to do was learn, and compete. I loved the XWF, and I still love the place, but back then, back in 2014, 2015, the XWF was a thriving cesspool of strong challengers and massive egos. A lot of people were like champions, or former champions and so competition against this lot was like challenging. Try as I might I couldn't seem to get any wins on the trot. Maybe a win here, or a win there.

"But someone like you Chris Chaos, would avoid that kind of cesspool by hiding in the shadows like the true coward that you are. And of course Centurion was a nonfactor.

"But I did learn a lot by losing most of my matches, and even though you guys seem to play on the fact that I was a loser, you couldn't survive, but I did.. I survived. So lets look at the stats without sprouting on who should or shouldn't have been around at the time.

"Over the course of 2014 and 2015 I wrestled in 71 matches - I won 25 of them but lost 46. So percentage-wise I had 35 percent of wins, compared to 65 percent of losses. Yes I know. I'm a fucking loser. But unlike you Chris, I did not hide from no Boone. I stepped up, and competed.

"So lets fast forward to after my initial semi-retirement because I had burnt myself out from competing in 71 matches in a little over a year and a half. But you wouldn't know anything about competing in that many matches would you Chris? No, you fucking wouldn't.know how to compete in those many matches, you ungrateful scared son of a bitch.

"So moving on. Let us have a look at when I returned. 2018, and these last two years. I have competed in 49 matches over the last 2 and a bit years. That's 22 matches less than I wrestled in a year and a half. That just shows I limited my time and I competed when I wanted to and not just every single week. So out of the 49 matches, I won 23 of them, lost 25 and drew 1. That's a lot better than my first go around. So let us look at the stats. That's 47% of wins and 51% percent of losses. The win percent is a lot higher than my first go around. I take a lot of heart from that, that I've gotten better over the last few years than my first year and a half in this place.

"Where has it gotten you Chris? Oh, that's right. Still the fucking same. Nowhere."


DON'T CRY FOR ME ARGENTINA

You had to let it happen didn't you Chris?
You thought you could change didn't you Chris?
You chose freedom by staying in the shadows
You chose when not to fight
You continued to run away when you could have just stayed
and faced your fears.

But I knew what you were doing, Chris,
and so I wasn't impressed.
I had no expectations that you could impress
and I still don't

Don't cry for me Argentina
I know all about you
I know the truth
You are mad
You are chaotic
You are scared
You are just stupid, dumb
and You are Chris Chaos.
Don't cry for me Argentina.

You won't find fortune
You won't find fame
You are just an illusionist
You can't find any solutions
You are just don't have any answers
Don't cry for me Argentina.


"I think I've said everything that I need to say to you, Chris, for the time being."

"Let's move on to Centurion."

"What a fucking cry baby you are Centurion. So what if you got attacked at the end of your previous match? It's part and parcel of being a champion. Something that you continue to be, but not for much longer.

"You continue to be a cry baby though."

[Image: giphy.gif]

"By all means continue throwing a hissy fit, continue throwing toys out of your cot, continue crying like a baby. Because that's all you are. A spoilt, rich, son of a bitch. And like Chaos, your contempt of me is just that. Contempt. And half-ass.. Something of which is going to get you to lose your belt, because it seems you no longer care about being the Hart Champion. I said it before and I'll say it again, your mystique is gone. You are no Tony Santos. You are a boring son of a fucking bitch. Some one who loves to wine, and complain as much as possible."



CRY ME A RIVER

You are the sun
You are the Eatth
That is why you are the Hart Champion
You took your chance
You won

But now you continue to wine
You continue to complain
You continue to argue
You continue to blame

You are compared to Tony Santos
But you suck
But you are confused
You've burned your bridges
With almost everyone
Cry me a river


"I WILL SUCCEED Centurion. Your fantasy is for me to continue to lose. Your fantasy is that you keep winning to become the greatest Hart Champion of all time. But your fantasy is pure fiction because you won't become the greatest Hart Champion of all time, because for you that is impossible. Tony Santos was and is better than you. Yes, you bet him, but only after he had succeeded in making that title relevant again. You've just made it irrelevant by making it boring, and unworthy.

"But I'm going to take it off your sorry ass. Not Chris. But me. Because you have come to a crossroads where your belief is purely fictional and fantasied. Because of that, you start to cry like a baby. A baby, Centurion. Why? Why continue to embarrass yourself? Because you cant find a way out of the mess that you made yourself. You've dug a whole. You've printed an arrow on your back, and now people are coming for you more so than ever, and what do you do, Centurion? What do you do?"

[Image: giphy.gif]


Some things are better left unsaid
It's not your fault, is it?
But you know it is
It truly is.
Don't act like you don't know
Your head is a mess
You aren't honest with yourself
Cry me a river

You know it won't last
You know you are all alone now
It's just you and me and Chris
but soon it will be only you and me
You know I will beat you
You know I will become the champ
You just can't fathom it
Cry me a river

The damage will be done
I will be leaving with the Hart tile
The damage will be done
I will be leaving
You'll be lying
Saying it wasn't your fault
So cry me a river


"You asked for different stipulations Centurion, but you don't even know what you truly want. That's why your fantasies are deserting you because you don't even know what you want. So while you keep being unsure of yourself, and while keeps hiding in the shadows and believing his own stories, I will swoop in and become the new Hart champion. And then you both will become the laughing stock of the XWF, because you let me win. The 3 times Xtreme Champion, the 1 time Television champion - the outright 2nd best TV Champion of all time. Even Noah Jackson couldn't reach my placing and he's nowhere around.

"So while you guys start moaning your heads off that I am now the Champion, I will hold the Championship aloft, and laugh at the both of you. Just like the cowards that you are.

"So I won't cry for Chris Chaos, and I won't cry a river for Centurion, because you both have both come a cropper because you refuse to take me strongly. That's on both of you."

Mastermind starts laughing, and then the camera fades out.
