We see Stephen Callaway sitting on a beige recliner.

"So here we are! A brand new year! Three Hundred and something days. I see it as blank pages in a book waiting to be filled or a blank Word document waiting to be typed on. I just want to get writing on those pages both in my personal life and right here in Sin City.
Because it's the end of one decade and the start of another, the world of social media is full of 'start of the decade/ end of the decade' posts. I personally don't like to dwell on where I've been too much. Granted I will touch on my past in a little bit.
But I'm far more concerned with where I'm going. I don't need to worry about the Stephen Callaway story of the past, I had a front row POV seat to all of it. I'm looking to the future. I'm looking to where I WANT to be at the end of this year, the end of this decade.
Come 2030, I'm going to be a lot closer to fifty than to forty. 2030 I'm probably going to be looking to hanging my boots up in the near future. I want to be in a position where I can look back on my career and feel accomplishment. I want to get to a point a decade from now and look back on a decade of heavyweight title wins and pay per view main events from here Sin City. Maybe a couple of 'secondary' titles as I work my way up."
He removes his glasses and cleans them using the bottom of his Transformers t-shirt.

"I sat a few weeks ago now in the run up to December To Dismember and I said that I wanted to be the Sin City Champion going in to December To Dismember 2020. I said I'd even love it if Anthrax was the one stood opposite me. But I know I need to up my game. I know I need to get more wins on the board. I know I need to build momentum.
And that's exactly what I did at December To Dismember. I needed momentum and I got it. I got me a win to close out the year. I just need to build on it starting this week?"
He stops to take a drink of a purple liquid from a clear glass.

"And look who I get this week. An old friend of mine. Here I am saying that I don't want to worry too much about where I've been and then the ghost of my Christmas past turns up.
What was it? Two fifteen? Sixteen? It was a while ago anyway. There are days that I miss Skyfire. Now we probably crossed paths for the Honor Title at some point, you'll forgive me if I forget the exact date, arena and show number of the match we clashed on, if we clashed. I get hit in the head a lot and I've had a lot of matches. Sometimes I see a wrestler wave at me across a crowded airport and I assume we've wrestled. Odds are they seen me, think we've wrestled before and wave.
However, back then you won the Skyfire Title. Best I could reach was the Honor Title. But that was years ago, in 2020 I need to show that not only am I on your level, I am on the level above you.
Chris, I think it's great that our paths are crossing once more. I'd love it if it is YOU across from me at December To Dismember. But I need to beat you down now if I'm to get there. I need to show you, show the people watching and I need to show the brass at Sin City that I am a man with momentum that they can get their marketing machine behind. This Sunday in Atlanta is not what I want to do, but what I have to. I HAVE to destroy they guy from my past to build for my future. I have to cripple the Crippler if you will.
Don't think that I won't do it."
He picks up his glass and walks away
