MOSCOW, RUSSIA

AFTER WEDNESDAY NIGHT WARFARE

HOTEL BALTSCHUG KEMPINSKI MOSCOW

The door to the hotel room opened and in came a very drunk Mastermind, celebrating the breaking of his 9 match losing streak when he beat Woe in a few physical match that could have gone either way. But he also went on to take part in the Mini Gauntlet where he lost his first attempt, so that put him back in the negative. Back to a 1 match losing streak.

He stumbles into the room, obviously he had too much to drink in celebrating, and he has to get back on his private jet in a few hours, as he has to head to Houston, Texas where he's about to take on Bobby Zi, on Monday Night Madness for the X-Treme Title.

He closes the door, and is hiccuping. He stumbles over to the bed, and collapses onto his bed. He instantly passes out.

Age 16

Mastermind is once again sitting at his usual spot as a youngster, in New Zealand, over looking the ocean, and being reflected. He remembered how'd he got there. He had a tough child hood.

It all came to a head when he was 14 years old.


-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Age 14

We know that Mastermind is known as M in his early years. He's sitting looking out into the ocean from his vantage point. As we first learnt he lost his mother at an early age, and because his father had to work in order to bring money in to the home, he was hardly around, therefore because he was left alone, he became angry, and fought many fights. It all came to a head when enough was enough and at age 14 he was threatened with expulson, and threatened with being sent to boarding school by his own father. He was saved by a Wrestling Coach called Mr. Tommy Clarkeson. Who wanted him to work with him. But his own father sent M to live with Mr. Clarkeson.

We also found out that Mr Clarkeson was now teaching 'M' some vital lessons to do with Wrestling and life as well. His first lesson he learnt was Discipline. For all they tried, Clarkeson and the captain of the Wrestling Club, George kept trying to break 'M' But 'M' just stood his ground.

His second lesson was all about not talking back when it mattered. Not letting your team mates down. He had to learn respect. It was hard when he hadn't been given respect whilst growing up. But none the less he learnt it at that lesson. In bucketfuls.

Two days later 'M' as he was known back then, turned up to his next lesson. But before the lesson started, he began to run around the stadium. Without being asked. When coach Tommy Clarkeson turned up, Team Captain George, and three other team members Rodwell, Baxter, and Currie were watching from the sidelines.

CLARKESON: "What's going on?"

GEORGE: "M's been running around the stadium for about 10 laps now. He just got here."

CLARKESON: "He wasn't told to start?"

GEORGE: "No, sir.."

CLARKESON: "Wow, that;s what I call respect. What are you guys still doing here?"

George looked at his coach, semi smiled, shook his head, signalled to his three team mates, and they all joined 'M' in running laps.

When his 50 laps was up, 'M' finished and came to a halt and back to where Clarkeson was.

CLARKESON: "I see you learnt from the last time you were here? What did you learn?"

"Respect sir. Total respect."

CLARKESON: "Good to hear."

They both then waited for George, Rodwell, Baxter and Currie to finish their laps before Clarkeson spoke again.

CLARKESON: "Okay, so we've all learnt about Discipline and Respect, the third lesson is what George?"

GEORGE: "Loyalty sir."

CLARKESON: "What do I mean by loyalty Currie?"

CURRIE: "Supporting people sir. Team work really."

CLARKESON: "Correct, so as in the case of real life, and in wrestling, you don't work by yourself. You always don't have single matches, you could be in a tag team of 1 other person or 2 other people, you need to be able to show them that you can work as a team, even though you are sometimes opponents you need to respect that team mate. So 'M' you partnered with Currie, George you partnered with Rodwell. What I want you all to do is practice the first lesson Discipline, but with a difference. If you can take a beating, and then find a way to tag your partner then do so. George you start the attacking, and 'M' you start the defensive work. Find a way to tag your partner."

So 'M' went back to where he started his first lesson on the ground. And it was George who started with hitting him. He kept on standing back up. But it took him a while to find a way where that after an attack, to slip out of a hold, and dive to find his partner.

So now 'M' had learnt the next lesson in his battle with life.
