(The scene opens up and we see TJ Alexander, standing in front of an AWS backdrop, as we se TJ wearing blue jeans, and a white short sleeved t-shirt with a gold chain around his neck)

“Everyone knows the saying, everything happens for a reason, but I don’t like that saying, because five times now that Vin Halstead has beaten me and the last time, he won the global championship off me, but as we all saw, I didn’t hand it over, I still have it, and now I am going to bring it to reindeer games and I am gonna, but the saying everything happens for a reason can fuck right off, Vin Halstead is my thorn in my side, he is a noose around my neck, and that saying everything happens for a reason doesn’t apply to me, because I make things happen. I have done that all my life and I’ve done pretty well so far, but this rivalry between me and you VIN has almost driven me insane, insane to the point of just walking away for my mental health, at least walking away from AWS, but then I look in the mirror and I see the man standing in front of me, I see the man standing in front of me and he is saying don’t quit.”

(TJ frowns)

“Don’t let them win, you are gonna overcome and win, and that has instilled some believes and fire back into me, knowing that the saying everything happens for a reason doesn’t apply to me, but it only applies to normal people, the men and women who are working regular jobs and are not getting anywhere in life, just working to pay the bills, that’s there saying, everything happens for a reason, for them. For me I make things happen, and every match we’ve had, I’ve not only collected every piece of information, but I’ve chipped and chipped away at your body. Vin Halstead there’s going to be a time soon that I do beat you, and it is gonna happen before the year’s end.”

(TJ frowns)

“That is why I have kept the global championship, you may be the new champ, but I still have it because I know it’s gonna revert back to me very soon, and at a grandeur stage like Reindeer games, it’s gonna be a extraordinary way to end the year with you beaten to a pulp, showing the world that I can do beat, and proving my mental health the sanity it needs. But Vin I know your gonna come out swinging for the fences and wanting to get your hands on the global championship, but it’s gonna be futile, because I am gonna get that win against you.”

(TJ pauses)

“Vin I’ll admit there’s veterans and then there’s you, you are above most of the veterans who claim to be veterans in this business, but even the greats get beat, even the greats get their arses handed to them, and even the greats lose the spotlight, and what are you gonna do when I finally get that win over you? Are you gonna suck it up and take it on the chin, or are you gonna crumble and dwindle down? Vin believe me I will get that win?”

(TJ pauses)

“VIN this match favours you, a candy cane match, pretty much everything available to use, and I’m sure you will use everything you can get your hands on. But so am I, I am gonna do the same, any and everything I can get my hands on that I can use as a weapon, I will do so. But ultimately this is a candy cane match, and those candy canes are gonna end up down your throat, and you are gonna choke.”

(TJ pauses)

“Vin this isn’t going to be a wrestling master class, this is gonna be a fight, and the fight has been instilled in me to come at you with every ounce of fibre, every inch of steel I have in me and I will, VIN you are gonna know exactly how it feels to lose, and I’m sure you’ve not had that feeling for a long time, but you will, you will lose at reindeer games.”

(TJ pauses)

“So Vin Halstead as we are days away from this, I hope to put a nail in the coffin to our rivalry, I hope that I balance the scale my way and I hope to keep the global championship, see you at reindeer games.”

AWS - Vin Halsted - From Darkness to Light: Chapter 3:Hard Lessons of the Light

::Scene opens with Halsted sitting in the Mystic Hot Tub. The healing waters are in full effect while Halsted just leans back and is fully relaxed. Margot walks in while carrying some equipment for their training session.::

Margot: What the Hell are you doing, Vin?

Halsted: What does it look like?

Margot: I know what it looks like, but you need to get your ass out of there and get to work!!

Halsted: Margot, you need to calm down. Everything is going exactly the way the Light has shown me.

Margot: Oh, so it told you that you would need to deal with a punk ass thief.

Halsted: He’ll get his at Reindeer Games. I have something that I’ve been working on that I’m gonna introduce him to. It’s gonna blow the roof off of the Hammerstein Ballroom.

Margot: Is that right?

Halsted: Yep.

::Margot looks at Halsted blankly then snorts.::

Margot: Show me.

Halsted: I don't think that’s a good idea, Margot.

Margot: Oh?

Halsted: Yeah… I don’t want to hurt you.

Margot: Vin, shut your damn mouth and get in the ring, right now!!

::Halsted stares at Margot and Margot stares back. Halsted nods and slides out of the Mystical Hot Tub. He towels off and puts his gym shorts and t-shirt on. Margot nods and hops into the ring. She stands in the middle of the ring waiting for Halsted. Halsted walks over to the ring steps, wipes his feet before entering the ring and meets her in the middle of the ring. He locks up with her and whips Margot into the corner. He runs as fast as he can, leaps up and lands a brutal Stinger Splash. He holds her up and then lifts her onto his right shoulder while climbing to the top rope. He sets her down on her feet, then hits a glorious Spanish Fly but then positions her into a thunderous DDT finish. Both lay on the mat after the move and Halsted rolls over into a cover. He counts to three then slides off of Margot. Margot is still not moving so he rolls back to check on her. He shakes her and starts talking to her with a concerned tone.::

Halsted: Margot?

::Margot doesn’t respond so Halsted tries a little more assertively.::

Halsted: MARGOT???

::Still nothing. Halsted jumps to his feet and lifts Margot over his shoulder. He looks at the Mystic Hot Tub and runs over to it. He drops her into the water and seconds later, Margot bursts through the water like a flailing animal. She breathes heavily and looks around in confusion.::

Halsted: Oh thank God!!

::Margot gasping for air and still breathing heavily.::

Margot: What the Hell was that?

Halsted: I told you it was dangerous!!

Margot: I guess I asked for that.

::Halsted shrugs.::

Halsted: I had a vision from my most recent reading of the Book of Light and that move just came to me.

Margot: This is some Book.

Halsted: Yes it is. Have you gotten to read it yet?

Margot: Not yet. I keep missing out but I heard Angelina talking about it with Mr. Han.

Halsted: Oh, so, Angelina read it?

Margot: It sounded like she started it. Everyone around here seems like they’re changing for the better. I'm really hoping for my turn, soon.

Halsted: You’ll get your chance. Don’t worry.

Margot: Looking forward to it, but how did you land that move so perfectly? You haven’t moved like that since your first year in HHW.

Halsted: I know… I just closed my eyes and the Light came to me with it. I call it the Chicago Blackout.

Margot: Fitting!!

Halsted: I thought so, too. It will be even more fitting to end this elongated series with TJ. I won’t even call it a feud because the guy just doesn’t know when to give up and walk away. I mean… I took that title off of him and he still wants more.

Margot: He showed everyone that he’s noting but a coward when he ran off with the Global Title.

Halsted: Agreed… This is the last time we meet but it will be the beginning of my reign while ushering in the Light that will carry AWS into the new era. TJ was a flash in the pan who never deserved to be in the position he was in. I proved that and now I put an end to him once and for all. This needs to end so that I can go on and take the AWS Heavyweight Championship.

Margot: This is everything we ever trained for and it’s time for you to take your rightful place as the greatest of all time. Not just in AWS but in the entire professional wrestling world!!

Halsted: The Light will always prevail and I will reign supreme and the Enlightened King for as long as I want.
