Mirrors
Posted: Mon Dec 30, 2019 9:54 pm
White noise rang out as static started the video. Within a few seconds, the static slowly faded to a dark wooded area. The small sliver of the crescent moon shone through the leafless trees while the stars flickered all around. The camera panned down from the canopy of tree limbs and peered forward through the tree trunks. The rustling of the dead leaves could be heard beneath the footsteps as the camera moved forward through the trees. Through the trees, a faint grungy yellow hew could be seen in the sky. As the camera worked further, they came to a clearing. The starry night sky vanished as the dim glow of a traveling fair lit up the night sky a few yards away.
The grass was high as the camera walked through the clearing, pushing their way through the blades of grass and weeds. After a few moments, the camera panned up at the grand entrance of the fairgrounds. The broken down sign with letters nearly falling off the archway. The name could barely be made out, but the name of the fair could be seen, “English Brother’s World's Fair”. The lightbulb filled sign flickered suddened, but the only letters to remain luminated were the first letter of each word spelling out, “EBWF”. The camera panned down as it walked through the main gate. A rusted turnstile still functioned allowing for easy access.
The fairgrounds were overgrown with grass and weeds that grew up through the cracks in the asphalt walkways. Most of the shops were ravaged by looters, the windows smashed, the paint chipping and faded. The erie feeling crept into your skin as the camera continued down the main walkway. The camera panned back and forth as it walked down the roadway, on either side where more broken down structures, old games with molded stuffed animals as the prizes now, and empty restaurants boarded up with their own tables. As we continued to, nearing the end of the entryway into the fair, the camera stopped moving. A sound was heard softly, but within a few seconds, the muffled sound blared to life with white noise. The speakers all around the fairgrounds came to life in unison as the loud static noise was heard. Then, the static ceased and on the fairgrounds sound system, a familiar tune came to life. “Entrance of the Gladiators”, the famous song known now for carnivals and fairs played through the park. The camera looked forward as a large ferris wheel lit up the night sky with its yellowish light. Every car was lit leaving a giant, brass ring, looking golden glow. Focused on the brass ring, the camera began to move forward again.
The fairgrounds continued to look completely abandoned as the camera moved through the grounds. As it passed by different attractions, the camera would pan over and take a look. The first of these attractions was a giant climbing wall, but the wall was completely damaged and crumbling before itself. The camera focused on the sign which read, “Can You Breach the Walls of Jericho?”, with the words, “Walls of Jericho” being larger than the rest of the writing, leaving it to be believed as the name of the attraction. Next in the line of attractions was a wooden roller coaster riddled with broken wooden beams. The cars of the coaster sat halfway through the track as they sat nearly off the rails. The completely broken ride was covered in cobwebs and moss. The sign for this ride hung sideways as it was literally on its last leg. It read, “Are You Man Enough For Dr. Black’s Dare-Track?”. As the camera panned away from the entrance to the roller coaster, the next attraction came into view. A large thin tower jetted into the night sky, and at the top a single bell sat. At the base was a lever system with a lead weight at one end and a worn out leather pad at the other end. A large hammer leaned up against the tower. Down the rail the lead weight was connected to, the letters from top to bottom read out, “The Almighty”, naming this test of strength game. As quickly as the tower came into view, it vanished out of sight as the camera moved further down the long pathway.
A few more attractions were seen, but there were no lasting impressions to show what these attractions were, their names unrecognizable. That was until the camera walked up to two attractions that sat next to each other. Both attractions withstood the test of time, but even so, their exteriors showed their aging. First was an old timely looking theatre building. The playwrights were torn away, not knowing what exactly the theatre shown, but the name was clear, “Rated R Peepshow” was something that was obviously for only adults. Right next door was another shop looking building with its windows busted out. Inside the shop were a large amounts of glass aquariums, but from the name of this gift shop, those weren’t meant to be fish tanks. “The Viper Pits” was written in the same style of font above the door as the theatre next door. The camera moved on and panned up to view the nearing ferris wheel once more.
For the severalth time, “Entrance of the Gladiators” began to play once more, as it constantly repeated. The camera continued to walk towards the glow of the ferris wheel, when it came up to yet another side attraction. Unlike the other attraction, this one had more uniformed feel with what seemed liked multiple personalities were used to design it. With a Hollywood base to it, there were hints at other influences to it. The name on the sign in front of the exhibit read, “Face Your Miztakes”. This time as the camera turned forward again, a large opening in the fairgrounds was lit up with Edison style lighting hung by wires. The lighting all came together, which lead the camera’s gaze like a runway directly to one building. This building, though greatly depressed like the rest of the fairground, was lit up as though it was inviting the camera to it. Behind this building sat the glowing ring of the ferris wheel. This building seemed to be the gateway to the ferris wheel.
The camera moved in on this lit up building. It panned up as it neared to read the sign above the sole entrance way. The sign was clearly legible as it read, “Aiden’s House of Illusions”. The camera walked up to the entrance way which looked completely normal. There was another pause as the camera waited to enter. After a few seconds, the camera walked through the black curtain into the room behind the doorway. There, the room was dimly lit by a single light, however, in front of the camera, that single light looked to be a thousand, as it bounced off the reflective surfaces of mirrors that filled the entire room. As the camera looked around the maze of mirrors, only the single light bulb could be seen until a shadow came across the light. A few seconds passed before the camera began to move as it attempted to traverse the maze. Surrounded by the light now with all the mirrors around the camera, it panned around in search of the exit. Then, inside the reflections, Tommy End walked up and stood directly with the light. The camera panned around and saw Tommy End in every mirror.
Tommy End
”At last, we are here.. This is what it’s like to be in the mind of a madman. The mind of the deranged.. Here I am everywhere. I am no where. I am not real.. Here is where you will see the many sides of the man you think I am. The man you think that you’re going up against.. The man that everyone sees.
However.. Look before you. I am not that man. I am no man.”
Tommy walked out of the view of the mirrors and every single Tommy End vanished in the reflections. The room was empty once more, with only the light bulb reflecting in the mirrors. The camera moved around once more as it moved deeper into the maze. As it seemed to turn a corner, Tommy End popped back into the mirrors.
Tommy End
”Watch your step here.. You never know what you’re going to run into. You never know who you’re going to meet. You may run into more than you bargained for, or.. You may not run into anything at all. Which one of us is real. Which one of us will lead you on the right path. Do you follow me?
Or me?”
Tommy walked around, causing his reflections to move from mirror to mirror. A slight laughter is heard as he moved. The camera stopped and looked around while Tommy continued to jump from mirror to mirror before settling down and standing in all the mirrors once more.
Tommy End
”Aiden.. You showed us the depths of your soul. You revealed everything that it took to build you into the man you are today. The man who changed himself numerous times to mold himself into his surroundings. An adaptive man..
You showed us your humble start while you fought and gained the EBWF Breakout Championship. The first incarnation of Aiden English. The man who thought that he had the whole world in front of him. Which, in all honesty Aiden, you did. Everything sat at your doorstep, and unlike most men here in EBWF, you used that Breakout Championship just for what it’s meant to be..
You broke out.
You won the championship and then you adapted yourself. You grew as a champion and you grew as a Superstar. Then.. Then you advanced. You outgrew the EBWF Breakout Championship and you did what you needed to do to go onto to the next level. Whether that meant continuing basking in the Light.. Or in your case.. Drifting into the shadows.”
The lights in the room flickered, causing the room to drift in and out of darkness. While this occurred, Tommy moved around, flashing from mirror to mirror during the flashes of light. Tommy’s voice could still be heard as he shifted through the mirrors.
Tommy End
”You took the darkness into your heart.. Turned your back on everything and everyone that got you to where you were. You used people.. Abused people. You didn’t look out for anyone else, except for yourself. You abandoned everything you believed in for one thing, and one thing only.
Power.
That’s what you desire.. What you crave. And you believe that a championship brings you that power. You believe holding a championship will prove your superiority to everyone else. Prove that the only thing that matters is you.
When you won the EBWF Gateway Championship, you knew that it was only a matter of time before you won it all. You had your instant ticket to top of the mountain.. To the top of the world. And you lived it to the fullest. You used the Gateway Championship, not only to skyrocket yourself to the moon.. No. You used the Gateway Championship to elevate yourself. The championship corrupted you, but you enjoyed the corruption. You thrived on the corruption, and you made the most of yourself.
This is when you didn’t care anymore.. This is where you lost yourself.”
The flickering light instantly went out, leaving the mirrored room completely dark. The camera panned around in the darkness as it still attempted to find its way through the maze. Tommy’s voice could still be heard in the darkness.
Tommy End
”This is when you started to use everyone that was once part of who you were. Elias.. Chavo.. CM Punk.. Even your own wife. You used to them help advance your motives. Advance your goals. You didn’t care what it meant for them. You didn’t care Elias and Chave threw away their careers to benefit you. You didn’t care if CM Punk gave up on his own morals to follow you.. You didn’t even care when your wife lost her EBWF Women’s Champion in her first title defense, so she could be there for you devotedly.
All of them.. They gave up something so that you could continue to be EBWF Gateway Champion. So you could hold onto your ticket to the top, though you didn’t need that did you. You used everyone and got yourself into the main event picture numerous times. You used everyone to help you get EBWF World Championship shots without even having to use the special clause in the EBWF Gateway Championship contract.
But you didn’t need that, did you?
No.. You used every chance you could get a shot at the EBWF World Championship without using the Gateway Clause.. The Royal Rumble.. The King of the Ring.. The darkness you embraced lead you to accomplish something that most men never do, and you did it all in one year. You took every opportunity that you were given, and continued to thrive with the help of Raquel.. The help of Elias. Chavo.. Everyone who gave up their own lives, you thrived to heights unseen before.
You became EBWF World Champion.”
In a flash of light, the mirrored room lit up again. Tommy stood front and center in every mirror. The camera panned around and revealed numerous Tommy Ends in front of it.
Tommy End
”You did it.. You accomplished it all. Everything that everyone said you would be able to do, you did. You proved that if you achieve, adapt, and advance, you will eventually have everything you ever wanted. Even in your darkest days, you provided a pivotal lesson that everyone should learn. A lesson that could change anyone’s life. You did that without trying. You did that without caring. You did it because you wanted to..
You had one hell of a career, I will attest to that. No one, whether they like you or hate you, no one can deny that you did it all. And you did it in a way that no one else has ever been able to do. A way that may never been done again. You won every single championship..
Without ever losing a single one.
Few people remember that.. Few people remember that one after the other, you climbed the ladder and won the next level championship and when you did, you were still the previous grades champion.. And without losing them in a match, you actually gave away each championship that got you to the next level. Each championship that made you who you were at the time..
The EBWF Breakout Championship, you threw to the side when you got the EBWF Gateway Championship. You didn’t care anymore. You didn’t need it anymore.. You didn’t need that belt, just like you didn’t need Elias. So together, you threw them both in the trash and you moved on. You advanced yourself without caring about what happened to what got you to the EBWF Gateway Championship. You didn’t care that the Breakout Championship ended up in the hands of someone who used it not to advance himself.. But to make himself relevant. You didn’t care that everything you built up with the EBWF Breakout Championship was just immediately washed away when Hardcore Holly got his hands on the belt.
No.. You were content with you new positioned. You were content with you new championship. That was until you advanced yet again and got the EBWF World Championship. After that.. What did you do? Who did you abandon after that?
Once again, you dropped the EBWF Gateway Championship in the trash.. You just let your greed see the one thing you had always wanted, and you didn’t care about anything else. That’s why you threw Chavo and CM Punk to the side as well.. You didn’t care about them anymore. You didn’t need them anymore. All you needed, you had and that was EBWF World Championship. The EBWF World Championship that everyone helped you get. The championship that all your growth got you to. This was everything you ever wanted. Everything that your heart desired.. Which is why you didn’t care about anything else. You didn’t care about who turned away.. You didn’t care about who you hurt.. You didn’t even care that your own wife got injured, at your expense.. Sure, you acted concerned, but we know you Aiden. We know that you are the “Drama King”, not just in name, but in actions.
You continue to act like you care that Raquel got injured, but in reality, we know that you’re just thankful that it wasn’t you. You’re thankful that you didn’t get injured and have to give up the EBWF World Championship. You were glad that you were safe.. You didn’t feel any remorse knowing that it was you that got your wife injured.
With everything that you had done.. With all the people that you made an enemy.. It was only a matter of time that it would have caught up to you. It was only a matter of time before one of those enemies, came after you. Came after you loved ones.”
Tommy shook his head before he walked off to the side again, which caused his reflections to all move in unison and move from one mirror to the next. Tommy walked until he completely vanished and only the light remained in view once more, but not for long. Suddenly Aiden English appeared in all the mirrors. The reflection shown the EBWF World Champion in his ring gear, with the title belt draped over his shoulder. His skin, paler than usual, as this was not the real EBWF World Champion, Aiden English. Instead, a perfectly sculpted wax statue of the champion filled the mirrors.
Tommy End
”And now.. Here we are. Trapped forever in the mind of Aiden English. In the mind of a man whose only thought is of only himself. Here.. The only thing we see is how Aiden thinks of himself.. Of his own grandeur. Now don’t get me wrong, you are good. You wouldn’t be the EBWF World Champion if you weren’t.. But look around.. You think too highly of yourself. You think too highly of everything that you’ve done, like it is some grand accomplishment that only you could have achieved. That you did it on your own.. But look around, Aiden.”
The camera slowly panned around at the different mirrors. There was no difference in each of the Aidens. There was no distinctiveness between them. Everyone Aiden English was just the same as the one before it.
Tommy End
”No matter what you do.. No matter what you accomplish in this business. No matter everything that you’ve already accomplished.. None of that changes you. None of that morphs you into the next reincarnation of Aiden English. Instead..”
Tommy walked up behind the wax statue and he stood to the side of Aiden where the EBWF World Championship sat. Tommy slowly reached up and he took the EBWF World Championship belt off Aiden. He looked at the championship as he held it in his hands he then took the belt and walked off with the championship.
Tommy End
”This is who you are, Aiden. You are the same Aiden English as you were before you won the EBWF Breakout Championship. You are the same Aiden English who won the EBWF Gateway Championship.. There was no metamorphosis.. There was no transformation. No accention. You here and now, as the EBWF World Champion, are the same Aiden English as you have always been..
There has never been a new or different Aiden..
All this dark and demented actions you have done and said that you believe in.. It’s all false. It’s all an illusion, just like everything in your mind. These different Aiden’s you want to believe you’ve been.. All these different Aiden’s you believe that you’ve morphed between. They were nothing but a vision you had in your mind. No one saw a new and different Aiden.. No one saw anything special about when you won the Breakout Championship or the Gateway Championship. No one saw any difference when you became the Royal Rumble winner or even the King of the Ring.. No one saw any change when you even became the EBWF World Champion.
No matter what phase of your career.. You have been the same Aiden English. You’re the same man who sided with Elias to take on Tennessee Two-Step.. You’re the same Aiden who joined Team EBWF to take on, and try to take out Legion.. You’re the same Aiden English who need to appoint himself with anyone and everyone to just succeed even the slightest.
That is why, it makes no sense for you try and fix yourself. To try and bring together all your past selves to make yourself complete. The truth is.. You’ve always been complete. There isn’t multiple Aiden English’s.. There never has been. There never will be..
No matter how hard you try.. No matter how much you want to believe. Everything you have done as champion, everything.. It’s all the same as if you weren’t. It’s all the same stuff that you believed in when you first joined this company. It’s the same stuff you believed in when you won your first championship. You’ve always thought yourself as an innovator. Someone who has pioneered his own path in this business. You’ve tried to make yourself stand out. You’ve tried to make yourself different.. But instead.. All you’ve done, Aiden, is make yourself more of the same. You’ve attempted to split yourself so that you have a reason to bring yourself back together. Thinking that will make you stand out.. Make you more. Make you stronger.
Last night, you made it clear that you believe you need to unify everything you are.. Unifty every Aiden English, past and present, to make something new. To make a new Aiden English who will take on anything and everything to come out on top. To remain at the top..
But I’m here to tell you.. To sort out your illusions. I’m here to show everyone that just because you see multiple yous, doesn't make it true.”
Tommy walked back into the reflections and he took the statue of Aiden English and he moved it off to the side out of view. End stood there and turned to the mirrors and each of the Tommys stood there and shook their head.
Tommy End
”No matter how many different Aidens, you believe exist inside you.. You eventually will walk through the seemingly endless maze of confusion. The seemingly endless self delusion that you’re trapped in.. In the end.. The bitter truth comes out.”
Then, Tommy took a few steps as all the Tommys began to come together. Within seconds all the mirror Tommys merged into one, the real Tommy End.
Tommy End
”No matter how many different people you think you are.. That you think you’ve become. They’re not different. There is only one. There is only one Aiden English. There is only one Tommy End..
Believe what you want Aiden.. Merge all your delusions into one self.. Merge everything about you into one idea. It won’t change a thing about you. It won’t change anything about what you’ve done.. Who you’ve become. You are Aiden English. You were the EBWF Breakout Champion. You were the EBWF Gateway Champion. You are the current Royal Rumble winner and the current King of the Ring. You’re Aiden English, the EBWF World Champion. All of these are one man. One Aiden English.”
Tommy turned and walked away from the mirror and through a black curtain. The camera followed and exited the maze through the same doorway. On the outside of the maze, Tommy stopped and he looked up. Now, the ferris wheel, which cast a golden glow around the entire area, stood right in front of Tommy.
Tommy End
”On Christmas Eve, there will only be one Aiden English.. There will only be one Tommy End. There will only be one way to make it out as the EBWF World Champion.”
Tommy turned around and faced the camera. The golden ring of the ferris wheel directly behind him.
Tommy End
”It doesn’t matter if you believe that you’re one man, or that you’re a merger of everything you’ve been in the past. The fact is, Aiden.. The fact is that when you wake up Christmas morning.. When you wake up and you look over at your beautiful wife and you see her in the pain that you allowed her to feel.. When you get up and walk down the stairs and look into your family room and you see your Christmas tree all decked out with lights and ornaments. Presents wrapped and placed under the tree with care.. When you walk over and you look at your travel bag that you brought home with you. You’ll see your gear.. Your dirty clothes.. Bathing essentials. Everything that you left with, except for one thing.
The EBWF World Championship.
When you realize that loss on Christmas morning, you will understand the pain that your wife felt. You will understand the pain that you inflicted when you used everyone who stood beside you. You will understand the pain of losing your first championship. Not just giving the championship away.. Not just forfeiting the belt to move onto the next one. No..
On Christmas day, it will sink in that Aiden English.. The man who had never lost a championship.. On Christmas day.. You will finally realize that you lost, and you lost to a better man. You lost to one man. You lost to me..
Then.. Legion will go into the new year in complete control of EBWF at every level. Legion will finally complete what we came here to do. To write off everything that was, and is, wrong with the company. We will bring EBWF out of the darkness that it has been in and we will show everyone the truth. And that truth is.. We are here. We were always here..
We are Legion. And I am Tommy End..
The new EBWF World Champion.”
Tommy turned away from the camera. He looked up at the ferris wheel before he started to walk directly into the direction of final attraction of the fairgrounds. The camera remained still as Tommy walked away. Before the video ended, “Entrance of the Gladiators” began again. Tommy’s shadow slowly faded into the golden light before the video was overtaken by static.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Christmas Eve of Destruction was in full swing, the excitement of both the holidays and complete destruction was in the air. The vibes in the air were of the eagerness of getting to Christmas morning, but for now, the joy of watching two Superstars beat the living hell out of each other in some of the most brutal matches EBWF ever puts on. One night that is supposed to be magical.. One night that everyone is supposed to have the hope for tomorrow, was the same night that everyone dined on the pleasure of watching others destroy one another.
As the show continued, it was quickly interrupted by static that filled the screen. The EBWF Universe erupted in a loud chorus of boos as they believed that Legion was about to make their way to the arena. However, the cameras were replaced with the full video of the titan tron. As the static slowly faded, Tommy End was seen as he stood in front of his partner, his brother, Michael Dante. Both men wore similar suits, with the only differences being that Michael Dante held onto both of the EBWF Tag-Team Championship belts. As soon as the static faded, Tommy spoke out.
Tommy End
”Last night.. I went through hell to get here. With my own two hands, I defeated not one man, but five other men to get here tonight. To earn a shot at the EBWF World Championship. And what did I get for all that hard work? All the sweat and blood that I spilled to prove to everyone that I deserve this.
I get good ol’ Wes to show his face and degrade my victory. Degrade everything that I went through. Everything that I had to deal with in the gauntlet match. I didn’t get a good job.. I didn’t get the recognition that I deserved. Instead.. Wes wanted to accuse me of need help. Needing Michael Dante to be victorious against Edge. He wanted to claim that my victory over his best friend was tainted.. But Wes.. You couldn’t be more wrong.. I didn’t need Michael Dante out there to beat your boy. Michael was out there to make sure that none of your goons got involved to help Edge beat me.
I mean, we all know that you didn’t want Legion to be in this match, nevermind win the thing, but you couldn’t deny me this shot. You couldn’t deny that I belonged in this gauntlet because less face it.. Who else is there? Who else works as hard as we do?
Dante, Zahra, and I.. We are this company. Without us, EBWF would sink deeper into the quicksand that it’s been stuck in for a long.. Long time. If it wasn’t for us, this company would have folded. Whether you want to admit it or not, Legion came in at the right time and breathed fresh life into a dying company. And for that, you’re welcome Wes. From deep in Legion’s hearts.. You’re welcome.”
He paused and stood there. He looked back at Dante for a moment before he shook his head and turned forward.
Tommy End
”Instead of being grateful of what we did for his company, Wes needs to stick his nose in Legion’s business and instead of allowing me to go into tonight with my brother at my side. Instead of allowing me to have Zahra accompany me to the ring. Wes’ reward for me surviving the gauntlet and earning my shot at the EBWF World Championship on my own, his reward is pitting me against Aiden English inside a steel cage.
But not just any ordinary steel cage.. An electrified steel cage.
Nearly thirty milliamps of electricity will flow through the bars of the steel chair.. You would think that alone would be enough to deter anyone from attempting to get involved in the match. But no.. Wes’ sadistic mind makes it so no one will dare to enter by putting barbed wire at the top of the cage. He will stop at nothing to make sure that Legion stays out, and Aiden and I stays in.. Destroying each other.
But that’s your goal, isn’t Wes? Two birds, one cage.. You want Aiden and I to go out there tonight and make sure that neither of us make it home to our families for Christmas. You want to rid the EBWF of two of the biggest pains in your ass today. Don’t come at us by yourself.. Let us do the dirty work. Let us destroy one another to become your top guy. And whoever wins.. They will just be first on your list to take down.
We all know how you operate, Wes.. You’re going to get your Christmas joy watching this massacre. But.. Don’t think that I have ill will towards you Wes.”
Tommy smirked as he continued.
Tommy End
”See.. You think that this match is a form of punishment. You think not allowing my family to be at ringside, it’s going to make me weak. It’s going to give Aiden a chance. But no.. That’s not the case. Tonight.. Aiden English is going to defend his EBWF World Championship against me. And it doesn’t matter if the ring is surrounded by a cage of electricity or a ring of fire. Legion has prepared me for the worst anyone could think of. Legion has prepared me to take everything that I am given, and give it back tenfold..
Which is what will happen out there tonight.
Aiden.. You see, this isn’t personal with you. I know that you delusional, you showed us that last night. You showed that you mentality is broken and your belief is that if you bring yourself back together, you’re going to unstoppable. But.. You’re nothing. No matter how many different voices you feel is inside of you, there is only one Aiden English, and he is just like any other man. You are just one man.
And tonight, I will ruin all your Christmas plans because everything you have planned for tomorrow. You picture it all with that EBWF World Championship in your hands, but after tonight.. After our electrified cage match.. If you’re lucky enough to make it home. You will go home without the EBWF World Championship.
You can believe that in Christmas miracles.. But tonight there will be no miracle. There will be divine interference.. No.. This Christmas Eve will by your worst nightmare. Tonight, you will witness the end of the dramatic era of Aiden English.. And the birth of Legion’s reign of supremacy. After tonight, there will be no doubt. No one can say that Legion faded after Jimmy Havoc lost the EBWF World Championship and ran home to England.. No.”
He shook his head, still in disbelief that people thought that.
Tommy End
”Tonight, Legion will not only walk out of Christmas Eve of Destruction with the EBWF Tag-Team Championship.. Zahra will retain her EBWF Women’s Championship in another display of pure dominance in the EBWF Women’s Division. But at the end of the night.. Just mere moments before Christmas day, I will hold the EBWF World Championship high above my head with Aiden English at my feet, with a special Christmas present from myself..
A broken jaw.
But.. If you’re lucky to make it out without a broken jaw.. Without any serious injuries. I want you to enjoy your Christmas, for you may not be the EBWF World Champion anymore, but you survived the electrified steel cage. You survived being locked inside said cage with the one man who has been a thorn in your side. Where you did this, Legion did that, and made everything you did, irrelevant.
I eliminated you from your very first King of the Ring. I made it so that in your first year in EBWF, you didn’t make history. In the big EBWF verse Legion match at Fanniversary, Legion eliminated you. Admit it, Aiden.. Every time you have made an impact here in EBWF, Legion has come along and made a bigger impact. It’s not that your impacts aren’t special.. But you just happen to have your rise to stardom at the same time as Legion came to EBWF to take over. Which comes to a head tonight, on Christmas Eve.
Tonight, Legion takes center stage. We take control of EBWF. Tonight we take full reign of EBWF and we lead this company through the dark days head. For tonight, it’s not the night for miracles. It’s not the night for hopes of man. Tonight.. Legion will walk away victorious. Legion will walk into the new year with every piece of gold that matters in EBWF.
This is your Christmas gift from us..
Merry Christmas.”
With a final smirk, the static took over the screen once more and the cameras went back to ringside where the EBWF Universe showed their displeasure for what they just heard with another loud chorus of boos.
