Come in, and sit down.
Let me tell you all a story of Christmas.
It's the one time of year where we all come together and be as one. Like a family.
We are family. Most of us have families. Most of us have children. Most of us have Mum's and Dad's.
Most of us have wives/girlfriends/boyfriends/husbands.
To a degree the XWF Roster is like a family. We are all together fighting one another all year long.
And on Christmas Day we are all together in Wales, in the UK, fighting in Chamber Matches whether you want to or not.
It is what it is. Get over it, and move on. Like I said to Sebastian Duke once, build a bridge and get over it.
We are in Wales for a reason. 20 of us in 4 different Chamber Matches. Trying to win 4 different titles.
Some may like it. Others may not. And some may hate, sorry that's the wrong word, detest, others being in their Chamber Match. They look down at the weak ones, as if the weak ones don't really belong, and well that maybe the case, but the fact is WE ARE in those matches.
That brings me to song number one. Listen to the words very carefully.
DRUMMER BOY
Come I told him
Pa rum pum pum pum
Our newest Uni Champ you see
Pa rum pum pum pum
I'm ready to fight you
Pa rum pum pum pum
But you don't want to
Pa rum pum pum pum
Ra pum pum pum
Ra pum pum pum
Ra pum pum pum
Ra pum pum pum pum pum
Yeah, I beat to my own drum
Yeah, you must listen to those drums
Yeah, I'm on the beat 'cause the beat goes dumb dumb
And the only spare beat will 'cause you to stand up like a sore thumb
Playing for me, playing for the title
I'm surprised you didn't hear this in the uni cycle.
I'm so good I might take you to town
Christmas time I'll make you look like a clown
I'm so bad like Engineer I know
I'm still young but I go I go
Stupid, stupid, you need to kneel on the pulpit
I'm a drummer boy so do, do
Little Jessalyn
Pa rum pum pum pum
You are a poor girl too
Pa rum pum pum pum (gather round the mistletoe real quick)
I have no gifts to bring to you but a beating, pa rum pum pum pum
(He he matter fact let's gather round the fireplace while we get hot here)
That's the fight we take to out Uni King,
Pa rum pum pum pum, (yeah)
Ra pum pum pum, (yeah)
Ra pum pum pum (yeah)
In the Chamber with the others
taking on Seth Feder and Atara Themis
Then we all see the Engineer
And I'm one to sneer
He needs to realize it's not just him
Then I hit him back that's right I don't fear him
In the UK it's Winter
But everyone will feel like mini splinters
I said cool, cool
You know I will deliver let's collaborate and make this holiday a little better
I'm coming to the Chamber where I'm going to come up trumps
Not like Engineer, Seth, Atara and Jessalyn, because they'll be down in the dumps.
I'm a drummer of my beat
Pa rum pum pum pum, (yeah)
I'm the drummer of the beat
Ra pum pum pum, (yeah)
I'm THE drummer of the overall beat
Ra pum pum pum (yeah)
Pa rum pum pum pum
Pa rum pum pum pum
Pa rum bum bum bum
I hope you guys like that because it's all about me being confident and not losing it to the beat that is the Universal Champion.
What is 2020 going to bring? I hear you all asking? More of the same?
I know what I am doing, where I am going.
Do you?
This brings me to song number two.
HARK THE HERALD ANGELS
Hark the herald angels sing
Glory to the new born Engineer
Peace on earth and mercy mild
but that's not him, he likes to spew his vile
Joyful all ye challengers rise
join the triumph of the skies
beat back Engineer once and for all
because we won't stall
Hark the herald angels sing
Glory to the new born Engineer
Hail the heaven born prince of peace
To climb the mountain that is too steep
Light and life to all he brings (not)
We will stand up to him and all of his precious ding a dings
Risen with anger in his wings
He feels he is too good for us
reborn but we won't stand his lust
reborn but we will be just
reborn we should send him back to where he come
Hark the herald angels sing
Glory to the new born Engineer
It's not his time, but it's our time.
Glory to the new born Engineer
The Engineer thinks that he is all too good for most of us, he respects a few, but hates others that are put in his way.
I was put in his way, because I was drawn into his chamber match. It was my own fault really, I was the one doing the drawing.
But he'll soon know that I don't dance to the tune of those who think I am beneath them. I've always had to pull my weight since the day I arrived in the XWF.
I've always had to show how resilient I can be even when times become tough like when I went on a 9 match losing streak, the biggest of my career.
But I've always said too, that I learned a lot from that 9 match losing streak, never to back down, never to lie down, and never to give up. Always place one foot in front of the other and fight, fight, fight.
Yes there are times when I come through and prove the upset, like that X-treme Title match earlier in the year where I took the precious X-treme title off of Vita Valenteen. One might say, I broke her, I changed her, and I made her walk down that other path that she is trodding along now. Your welcome Vita, you are a lot stronger because I won your title off of you.
And what about that time just a few weeks ago, when I came out of nowhere during the Fatal Four Way junkyard match and put the mighty Noah Jackson, and Vita Valenteen on their bums with a huge king hit with a trash can lid. I'm pretty sure they are still feeling the effects from that. I climbed the fence and was the first out. Yes you all heard right. I climbed the fence and was the first out. Not Noah, not Vita and clearly I had what it took because I'm competing against Ruby for her Anarchy title very soon.
If I was a small fish in the water, if I was useless, if I did not prove myself, would I be the one to challenge Ruby, or better yet Engineer. I am who I am.
Now it's time for Christmas song number three.
RUDOLPH THE RED-NOSED REINDEER
You know Fuzz and Noah and Centurion and Ruby
Atara and Seth and Jessalyn and me, Mastermind
But do you recall
The most famous wrestler of all?
Engineer the Red-Nosed Universal Champion
Had a very shiny title
And if you ever saw it
You would even say he smites it so
All of the other challengers
Used to laugh and call him names
They never let poor Engineer
Join in any games (for good reason too)
Then one foggy Christmas Eve
Mastermind came to compete
"Engineer, with your title so bright
Won't you face me in the chamber tonight?"
Then how the wrestlers loved him
As they shouted out with glee
"Engineer the Red-Nosed Uni Chump
You'll go down in history
As the one who lost to Mastermind."
Small and simple really.
I think I've proven my point, no I know that I have proven my point. I'm serious about winning the Universal Chamber match. No one doesn't give me any chance, I know it may be a very small chance of picking up the Universal title. But that's just it. Small chances are usually where it happens. That one needle in the hay stack. That one little bit of luck where you see your one and only chance, and then and only then will you get one little second to make it happen. Actually all you need is either 3 little seconds, or three little words 'I give up' or even a a signal like a tap out. It can happen. It will happen. It has to happen.
Now it's time for the final Christmas song before you guys can get up and go home.
GRANDMA GOT RUN OVER BY A REINDEER
Engineer got run over by 4 opponents
Prancing around the Chamber on Christmas Day
You can say there's no such thing as Engineer getting run over
But as for me and Atara, Seth and Jessalyn we believe
He'd been drinking too much eggnog
And we challenged her to come for a fight
But He forgot her medication
And he staggered out the chamber door after not seeing us coming
When we found him Christmas evening
At the scene of our win
He had all our foot-prints on his forehead
And incriminating Mastermind marks on his back
Engineer got run over by 4 opponents
Prancing around the Chamber on Christmas Day
You can say there's no such thing as Engineer getting run over
But as for me and Atara, Seth and Jessalyn we believe
Now I'm so proud of myself
I knew I could do this so well
See me in there holding the title
Drinking beer and celebrating with my family
It's not Christmas without Engineer
Everyone's dressed in black
And we just can't help but wonder
Should we open up his gifts
Or send them back (send them back)
Engineer got run over by 4 opponents
Prancing around the Chamber on Christmas Day
You can say there's no such thing as Engineer getting run over
But as for me and Atara, Seth and Jessalyn we believe
Now the goose is on the table
And the pudding made of fig
And the blue and silver candles
That would just have matched the hair on Engineer's head
I've warned all my friends and neighbors
Better watch out for me now
I have the Universal Championship
I am but one of 4 opponents who run rough shod
Over Engineer
Engineer got run over by 4 opponents
Prancing around the Chamber on Christmas Day
You can say there's no such thing as Engineer getting run over
But as for me and Atara, Seth and Jessalyn we believe
Singin' Engineer
Engineer got run over by 4 opponents
Prancing around the Chamber on Christmas Day
You can say there's no such thing as Engineer getting run over
But as for me I believe
Merry Christmas
Did you like that everyone.
A story about my time and 4 little Christmas Songs.
You can now all use the door now and get out.
VETERANS MEMORIAL ARENA
SPOKANE, WASHINGTON
UNITED STATES
Mastermind is seen getting ready as Thursday Night Anarchy is about to start. He is in the Main Event, challenging Ruby for her Anarchy Championship after he bet Noah Jackson, Vita Valenteen and Maxine in a Fatal Four Way Junkyard match. None of the four knew what the win might mean. Mastermind knocked Noah and Vita out from out of nowhere before he could even climb the wall. Vita nearly stopped him, but Maxine stopped her, and Mastermind was able to escape.
And now the benefit, facing Ruby for the Anarchy Championship. Something he wasn't expecting. But he appreciated none the less. Another title match. How many more title matches would he be involved in, in the coming months, after Christmas Day he wasn't expecting many. He wanted to take a back seat for a few weeks. But if he won the Anarchy Championship or even the Universal Champion on Christmas Day, how could he take a back seat.
Mastermind finishes in his early preparations and sits down on a chair and looks at the camera.
"Even though I'm focused on this match, on this specific match, I could walk out the Anarchy Champion and into the Christmas Day Universal Chamber Match as the Anarchy Champion. How cool could that be? Very cool. Like I said I am focused but it would be unwise of me not to say I'm thinking ahead to Christmas Day. Maybe all my Christmas's can come at once. How literal can that be said from time to time?
"I'm ready to take on Ruby tonight, but I want to make something clear to my opponents come the Chamber Match. So let's do this.
"Let's start with the man himself. Or should I say the boy himself? Or even the Woman herself? Have you settled upon a theme yet Engineer. You remind me of Doctor Who. The Doctor regenerates himself from time to time when he needs to. You are no where in his league. You are just Engineer the current Universal Champion.
"You may have not wanted to mention me at all, or even give me the time or day, you may just wanted to have step on me come Christmas Day like you think that I am the bug that is beneath your feet. I know you think that. But that's not going to be the case. I'm no bug. I can be a pest to certain people. And I am going to be a pest to you. Because well you disrespect me, I will be the biggest pest that I can be.
"I won't go down without laying a hand on you. I will give it everything. It's not going to be that easy. And I won't go down quickly. You can be certain of that. I will make sure that I last until that first chamber door opens, how ever many minutes it has to take. I believe it's 5 minutes. You can beat me up as much as you want. I will just keep getting up.
"I'm surprised that you fell for me goading you into talking about me. I'm surprised you fell for that. It's my little win over you between now and Christmas. That makes you like I said, a chump. Because if you didn't talk about me, then you would have won that battle, and be the true champion that you are supposed to be. But my little mind games have effectively put it out there that you had to talk about me.
"I called you a chump? And you bit. Nasty. All the power is now in my court. You had the power by not talking about me, because I was chasing you. But since you did that, you gave me your power. More fool you, Engineer. You're a fool. One of the biggest fools of the lot of my opponents who over the last 4 years thought they had it over me, only for me, to give them something to make them to have to respond to me.
"You couldn't get through three promos without having to talk about me. I thought you could. But you couldn't.
"You have no will power. You have no power at all now. You are a fool, and you are going to sink like a rock.
"I respected you Engineer going into these weeks, but that respect went out the window the moment you thought I was beneath you. We're equals Engineer. We start in the Chamber Match 50/50. Not 80-20. 50-50. You should know that. You should respect that.
"I enjoyed Lux when she was around. She didn't play the powerful being that you are playing. You respect a certain few. I respect everyone, and give everyone my attention. Even if they are beginners. They still need respecting."
Mastermind gets up and smirks his infamous smirk. He walks over to his locker, and opens it and pulls out a bag.
"Before I finish with you Engineer, I have made you something. It's been a while since I've handed out a t-shirt. But nonetheless, you failed. Therefore you get one of these."
Mastermind takes out a t-shirt from his bag and shows the camera.
Mastermind continues to smirk.
"It's winging it's way to you as we speak. Enjoy Engineer. I am.
"Now let's move on. Atara Themis. Myths, Legends and whatever you were sprouting on about in your opening promo, it just goes to show you are another one who has come with plenty of fire to prove a point. I don't know what you were talking about in your promo but it was all greek to me anyways.
"I'm sure I'll get more insights over the coming days, just like you will with me. I look forward to speaking about that in my final promo, but for now enjoy your research.
"Now let's move on to Jessalyn. Jessalyn Hart. You are correct when you say that you've never been inside a Chamber Match but you and Vita did lose your tag team titles to the Killers in November last year at Survival of the Fittest. The first time we saw Chamber Matches in the XWF. So this maybe your first actual Chamber match but you have been close before.
"I also don't get why you are another one who doesn't give me the time and day in their promos. We've fought against one another before Jessalyn. I did pin you to win Vita's X-treme Championship earlier this year. So give me some respect that I deserve. I certainly give you respect.
"And as for no show Seth Feder. We all know that he was going to no show. He might have even thought that he was going to try. Well trying isn't good enough, Sid. Be a man and do something about it. You'll only find yourself out of the Chamber a lot quicker than you thought you would.
"Now before I go and focus on tonight with Ruby, I have to say this. I don't give a rats ass. It's Christmas and everyone deserves to be respected at Christmas. Whether you want to or not that's on you. As I've proven with the chump that is the Engineer, you don't get out of this without respecting your opponents. Whether you lot respect me or not. It's my time. It's my time tonight to win the Anarchy championship, and it's my time come Christmas. It may go down differently but hey at least I came to the Chamber in the knowledge that I feel I have a chance.
"See you all soon. But for now chow."
And with that Mastermind turns and heads back to his locker to continue getting ready for his big match. The camera fades out.
