The camera focuses in on one large room. The room is completely pitch black, however one make out that the room is quite spacious. As the camera continues to linger in the room, a large projection screen flips on. On the screen appears to be a home movie of sorts. One with a child playing a wide variety of sports. This illuminates the room, showing a chair and a table with a mask on it. There is someone sitting in the chair, but the persons back is turned away from the camera.
"I was born with a golden spoon. Everything in my life, I excelled at. I was a genetic force. Sports, academics, you name it, I was the best. There was nothing in my life that I could not succeed at."
The voice sounds like it came from the person in the chair. The large projection screen then changes to the child in the earlier home video as a high schooler. Winning various events, getting accepted to college. The boy has a large smile on his face.
"The thing about pride is that it is often followed by a fall. Pride leads one to do stupid things. The greatest folly of man is not ignorance. It is pride. Pride can turn a man that had everything into a simple pauper."
The video playing on the screen again switches. The now defunct promotion known as the XHF plays on the screen. There the child from the earlier videos is now a young man wrestling in said company. The young man is showing making his debut as a wrestler known as "Cash." The man shows a smugness cutting promos on how richer and stylish he was.
"The embodiment of foolish pride. I thought that because I had found earlier success , that I should be handed everything on a silver platter. More concerned with the materialistic possessions than the substance. It was my God given right to win all the championships. And oh I was talented. I thought that I had the whole world in the palm of my hand. All I had to do was take it."
Again the video switches to the man winning the European championship and another title in the XHF. A smile on his face. But then the truth is revealed. The young man would lose the titles within a month of winning each title. This causes a fist to come down on the table in the room. The fist on the table seems to shake. Presumably out of anger of watching this moment on screen.
"Everything I worked for was taken away from me. I was the Chosen One. The one that was going to win every single championship. Have the masses kneel at my feet. I was better than everyone on talent alone. Yet, I was never accepted. I was mocked. Instead of fear, I was the clown prince. Here it was what should have been my greatest moments and yet they felt hollow. I knew the truth that no matter how hard I worked. How hard I sacrificed for the fans, they would never ever accept me. That my sacrifice was in vein."
The video then shifts to the man being told he was fired from the XHF. He then tries to return home, but his parents embarrassed by his career choice pretend that he does not exist. They kick him out of his home with all of his items. There the man lives off a park bench in Orlando and in his car.
"Everyone turned their back on me. The people I needed the most, my flesh and blood did not want me. My supposed friends and family would rather kick me out of the streets than admit that I was a failure. They did not feel sympathy or emphasized with me. No, I was useless to them. I was a failure, something that they never wanted to see again. THEY LEFT ME TO DIE"
The voice from the man in the chair rises in intensity. The man in the chair then grabs the mask that was on the table. It is a black mask with a silver like face. He does not put it on, rather the only thing the camera picks up on is one hand holding the mask while the other hand carefully strokes the mask. Each stroke seemingly more tender than the last. It is as if the man is in love with the mask. The man makes the mask face the chair.
"Until I found you. You are my only friend. You led me to my salvation. When every single person abandoned me. You were there for me. You have been the only one that understands me. That can truly grasp what makes me tick. You were the one that allowed me to realize that this world is filled with no one, but fools and sycophants. They will never understand what you have done for me. How you saved my life. You made me the man that I am today. The man that everyone else knew before is dead, replaced with someone reborn in your image."
The man continues to stroke the mask. Pulling it closer to him. The man in the chair then pulls the mask over his head. He sits there for a moment before he turns to the camera. Here we see the full extent of the mask. The terrifying like creature on the mask. The masked man then puts his face closer to the camera.
"I have been to every corner of the world spreading the word of Salvation. So many people need to be saved. To be healed and brought back into the light. To save the liars and thieves into the healing grace that is Salvation. I have been sent to save you. Save you before it is too late. I have seen the End of Days and lived to tell the tale. That is why I am here in the EWC to help you all come into the light. You need to listen to me. I can only help those that want to be saved, the false pretenders will not survive. The End of Days is coming, let me save you before it is too late."
