Mastermind · (09-03-2020)

Usually it's straight after a match or in his locker room a little while after a match that Mastermind usually likes to celebrate his few wins with his fans, but tonight is something different.

After his win against Tommy Wish he was brutally attacked not once but twice. First by Wish masquerading as Freak, and then by Thaddeus Duke ordering him to a match at Relentless. Duke's attack was the most brutal. It left him unconscious at the end of the attack.

Now hours later, a video goes live to the XWF Universe.

It sees an Ambulance stopping near Mastermind's private jet, and the Misfits lining up to watch what is going on.

Antony is at the foot of the stairs to the plane, Kris is nearest him, Scarlet is nearest Kris, and Melanie is at the end of the line, the first to greet the ambulance.

They stand there in total silence, as the paramedics get out of the ambulance, walk around to the back of the ambulance, and open the doors. They pull out a trolley. Mastermind is on it. He is heavily sedated from the attack, and both his legs are in leg braces.

They transport him from the ambulance, past the Misfits, and transport him up the stairs. They then disappear into the plane.

A few minutes go by before they reappear again, and head down the stairs, and head back to the ambulance with the trolley, and place it in the back of the ambulance before closing the doors, and heading back to the front of the ambulance, before getting in, and driving away.

The co-pilot of Mastermind's jet walks halfway down the ramp and says something to Antony. Antony nods, and all the Misfits walk away from the jet.

They watch the jet taxi away from the area and head towards the take off strip, where it waits a few minutes before taking off and flying away. The Misfits stand there in silence watching the jet fade away into the distance.

Antony turns around to face the camera.

ANTONY: "This was supposed to be Mastermind's milestone night.
For his last 8 matches, he struggled for a win.
And tonight he finally got that win.
Breaking his 8 match losing streak,
But there are two people responsible for what happened after his win tonight to not allow him to celebrate
You guys made a statement.
You guys also made a mistake, a fatal mistake."

"Before Mastermind was put in an enforced coma, we had a small conversation, and he would like me to convey to you guys what he wanted to say. So here goes."

"Tommy Wish, or whatever you are going to call yourself from now on. Must have been one hell of a battle and one hell of a loss to transform into something different. You must be embarrassed big time with losing to Mastermind tonight. You have to reinvent yourself. How sad is that? Pretty sad really.

"Well what you did by attacking Mastermind is your choice, but know this, there are going to be severe consequences when he gets better, so you best watch your back. Even if the Freak is a freak and does something like that. You are going to wish, that you never came out, because Mastermind and the Misfits will make you pay. You can believe that."

"Now I am going to honor Mastermind and his wishes, and help him with what comes with a Mastermind win. If you will please Scarlet."

Scarlet has a backpack on. She takes it off, unzips it and takes out a t-shirt, and unfolds it, and shows it to the camera.

ANTONY: "In honor of Mastermind's 50th Career win in the XWF, I can also advise you Tommy Wish or whatever you are calling yourself now, that a t-shirt has been sent to you to recognize that you are indeed a victim of Mastermind's win."

Antony smiles at the camera, but then his smile fades.

ANTONY: "Now let's address how Mastermind ended up like this. Thaddeus Duke. Your cowardly attack has caused ripples throughout the Misfits, and with Mastermind's say so, the Misfits have been released to deal with you, Duke. So you brought this on yourself.

"So over the next few months you best watch your back, because the Misfits will be helping Mastermind receive payback. His payback will start at Relentless and he will certainly take you down Duke. But first he needs to recover back in New Zealand to be able to deal with you at Payback. But it's not going to be over for you once Relentless ends, we, the Misfits will certainly make sure that you know what it feels like to feel the full wrath of what you did here tonight.

"You say it's all about you. Well that's true. Because it's personal now Thad. You brought your A game. Instead of being the bigger guy and taking a hit you had to come out and virtually rob Mastermind of a build up to Relentless. So wherever you go Thad, the Misfits will be there with you taking revenge for what you did tonight. It's not going to be over until we say its over. It's no longer up to you anymore you wanker. So you best watch your back."

Antony clicks his fingers, and the whole Misfits group walk to another Private Jet, their Private jet, and head on board to get ready to go back to Miami, Florida.

Paul Heyman · (09-03-2020)

On behalf of my client, Thaddeus Duke, Antony I would advise you to advise Mastermind whenever he wakes up, to hope and pray this IS a one time deal. The facts are simple: Mastermind undercut, not just one, but both of Thaddeus Duke's Television title victories and that hasn't ever sat well with him. You can throw whatever you want at him. You can send all the Misfits you want at him. The fact of the matter is when it counts, Mastermind himself can come at Thaddeus Duke thirty times and thirty times, Thaddeus Duke will be the winner.

He's bigger than Mastermind.

He's TOO big for Mastermind in all reality.

So Antony, the choice is really very simple. Mastermind can nut up and agree to meet Thaddeus Duke inside the House of Horrors and settle this like men, or he can still do that, but also whine cry and bitch because Thaddeus Duke paid him what he owed him and hurt Mastermind's feelings.

The Duke's have always paid what is owed.

Mastermind was owed an ass kicking for sticking his nose where it didn't belong one too many times. Out of the kindness of his heart, he let it slide the first time, but he's not letting it slide anymore.

Thaddeus Duke is the Rembrandt to Mastermind's kindergarten finger painting.

Mastermind can make this a long term affair if he chooses, that is his right. However, smart money says put your chips somewhere else.

I'll get to the point Heyman. The moment your client suckered attacked Mastermind, was the moment the match for Relentless was all on. He told me just before we had to sedate him that he was all in for this match.

The fact that you haven't heard from him personally doesn't mean anything. He's back in New Zealand recovering from the vicious attack your client put on him.

But here's the thing. Your client has a huge ego that didn't need to go down this road. All he had to ask was for a match at Relentless and Mastermind would have accepted it full stop. But instead he chose the cowards way out and attacked him from behind when he wasn't expecting it.

Here's the thing about those previous two matches that you and your client have come to bore us with.

The first Television match all three of them were in, your client, Mastermind, and Big D. So it was anyone's chance to win the belt. The fact that your client didn't, that's on him, not Mastermind. He lost that match as well.

Then the second match he was told to interfere by the powers that be, he had no choice in the matter.

The powers that be have something against your client, that's not Mastermind's fault, but hey at the end of the day if your client chooses to spin the tale by all means.

The fact that you haven't heard Mastermind speak yet, it's none of your business. Or your clients. He will speak when he is good and ready. Not at the whim of you or your client. You both don't pull the strings here. Mastermind does. You just don't see it.

As for the Misfits getting involved. Well that's on your client. And on you.

Mastermind will see your client at Relentless, but it won't be your client who will win, because his ego will be brought down to Earth, as Mastermind continues on hiw winning ways.

So go on, spin some more yarns Heyman. You are good at doing that.

I just tell it as it is.
