Gideon King walks into the kitchen to see his Mom there cooking. He walks up to get a bite to eat. But she slaps his hand.
Mom - No eating until it's ready.
Gideon - But we are doing everything different this year. Why not also get to snack early?
Mom - It is your fault we are doing everything differently since you got yourself in a match on Christmas. Who wrestles on Christmas?
Gideon - I know, Mom, but it was a match I had to take. If I win this one, I am back in the X Division tournament. I can make it to the finals and win the X Division Title for myself earning more money and being more successful. How could I turn that down?
Mom - It is just a strain on the family. But I understand Gid. You have to do what you have to do.
Gideon - Can I at least help you carry the food out to the table?
Mom - There is a tray here but you should get Oliver to help you.
Gideon - Why?
Gideon goes and picks up the tray with no effort and walks towards the door.
Gideon - See? It is not that heavy. I can handle it no problem.
Mom - But who is going to get the door for you?
Gideon stops at the closed kitchen door. He tries to balance for a moment but cannot do it so he yells out to the living room.
Gideon - Oliver! Come give me a hand!
Mom - You should always listen to your mother.
Gideon's mother goes back to preparing everything else as Gideon waits for Oliver to get off his butt and come give a hand.

Gideon and his family are now gathered around the medium Christmas tree that his father had set up. Presents are being handed out by Gideon's Mom, making sure everyone is treated equally.
Mom - Here is one for you Gideon. It is from us.
Gideon opens up the package and finds a wrestling suit inside with long sleeves. He looks it over because it has his colors but he does not wear outfits like that.
Gideon - Thank you Mom and Dad, but I do not know what to do with this.
Dad - We called a wrestling shop for you because we want you to be safe in this Christmas Chaos match. This will give you added protection and you can wrestle in it.
Gideon - But I am not used to wrestling in long sleeves.
Mom - It will be cold outside you will need it. Trust your mother.
Gideon - I do trust you Mom. Thank you.
Gideon sets the package aside and he may or may not wear it. But he knows his parents are looking out for him even if they still treat him like a kid. He's a grown man now and is wrestling his own battles. Gideon's Mom hands another package over to Oliver.
Mom - Here you are Oliver. This is from Gideon.
Oliver opens it and finds a new laptop. He smiles at Gideon.
Oliver - You got me what I needed for school?
Gideon - I always look out for family.
Oliver - But are you getting paid enough for this? These are expensive.
Gideon - It doesn't matter. I will spend every dime I have to make myself and my family happy. And I am already hitting the big time. I am in my first special match for WGWF and I am showing the world that I can be a great wrestler. When I win and get a place at the ppv my bonus will be strong enough to cover any other expenses I have to deal with.
Oliver - You had better win.
Mom - But don't get hurt.
Dad - And come home safely.
Gideon - I will do everything I can to accomplish my goals. I will be successful. And it will be a Merry Christmas for the King of wrestling.
They keep opening packages enjoying the festive holiday.

Gideon has left his family behind having flown to North Carolina to prepare for his match with WGWF Smash. He walks out and looks at the Charlotte skyline.
Gideon - I have been blessed to wrestle in many places so far.
He points over to one building.
Gideon - Down there is the Spectrum Center, but I will not get to fight there. Not this time. I am going to be fighting in Christmasville. I have been given a second chance to make my way towards the X Division Title and I do not plan on blowing that second chance. To do that I am going to have to defeat four tough wrestlers who are also getting a second chance. They all came up short like I did but that does not make any of us losers. We will all rebound to be bigger stars and that's what I plan to do when I win this match.
Gideon walks over to the side still looking out on the city.
Gideon - Corey Bull I am well aquainted with. He beat me in my first match but I gave him everything he could handle and almost beat him. Maybe this time is my chance for revenge and moving forward with a win over him. Bull is a big man as was Damage and I have learned that I need to think more than just use my strength. I will have plans on how to cut down Corey Bulll with everything I have. But he will only be first. I know Johnny Styles is crazy and he is a wild card in this match. I plan to hit him with everything I have to knock him out and maybe he stops smiling. I know this will be a chaos match which means everything goes and so I will do everything I can to get the victory even if that means risking injury to my opponents.
Gideon doesn't want to hurt his opponents but to be the best you have to do what you have to do.
Gideon - I have never hit a woman before butI will not do Skylar Carsons disrespect by not treating her equally. She deserves to fight in this match just like everyone else does and if that means I need to knock her out to win that is what I will do. I never shy away from pinning a woman although it is always consensual.
Gideon smiles at his joke.
Gideon - I have heard a lot about FPV and I have beaten FPV. I think I will be beating him again, because he will be missing out on his opportunity to get into the X Division Title match. I will be taking it from him, just like I took his win from him in the triple threat with John Blade. FPV will end up the same way as everyone else in this match because I am not holding back this time. I am coming in with a plan of action and I will follow through on that plan throwing everyone around until I find the right combination to get the victory. This will be the start of my legacy and it is only the beginning because by next year I will be the X Division Champion.
He nods knowing that he can get the win and move on. He is good enough. He is strong enough. He is Gideon King.

Gideon finishes his promo and walks to the right heading into the hotel where all of the WGWF wrestlers are staying for this show. As he goes to the front desk the man pulls out an envelope and hands it to him.
Bellhop - Gideon King, right?
Gideon - That's me.
Bellhop - We received this message to relay to you as soon as you came back. Please read it immediately.
Gideon opens the envelope to look inside, pulling out the handwritten note. He reads it over quickly and looks at the bellhop with fear in his eyes.
Gideon - Where are the phones I can use? My cell phone died on the way over here.
Bellhop - You can use this phone. Just dial out.
The man gives Gideon the phone behind the desk and he quickly dials from memory. The phone is answered quickly.
Oliver - Hello?
Gideon - How is Mom? What's going on?
Oliver - She's okay. We have her at the hospital right now. They think it was a mini stroke.
Gideon - I am going to catch the first flight back. I will be there this evening.
Oliver - No, Gideon! Mom told me to tell you not to come back. She wants you dealing with your match.
Gideon - But I need to be there for her.
Oliver - We are all with her right now Gideon. She is doing better. They are checking the levels in her blood now so we will know more later today. They haven't admitted her yet she may get to go home.
Gideon looks around the hotel because he really wants to go back to Jacksonville. But he knows his family sacrificed a lot to help him get into the wrestling business. He cannot back down now.
Gideon - You will keep me informed on what is going on?
Oliver - We will text you and you can call anytime. She is resting now or I would let you talk to her. But she would tell you to go win one for her.
Gideon - I will do my best, Oliver. Give her a hug for me.
Oliver - I will.
Gideon hangs up the phone and leans on the desk. The man takes the phone back.
Bellhop - I am sorry for your bad news.
Gideon - Thank you.
Bellhop - Is there anything we can do?
Gideon - Just tell me where your gym is. I need to work out.
Bellhop - The gym is around the corner and down the hall on the left. But are you sure?
Gideon - Yes. I need to win now more than ever. For Mom.
Gideon walks over to go train, pumping iron to make sure he is strong enough for everything that is coming his way. End.
