The scene opens up at Chris Cyrus Grandma’s house in Las Vegas. Its Friday morning on December 9th. Chris and his grandmother are sitting at the kitchen table both drinking a cup of coffee as they talk.
Grandma: How’s the coffee?
Chris: Pretty good. Could use some more sugar.
Grandma: Here you go
Chris Grandma passes him the sugar and Chris puts a tablespoon of it into his coffee and stirs it before taking a drink.
Chris: Much better.
Grandma: So what did the doctor tell you Yesterday about your shoulder.
Chris: Same thing he told me a few weeks ago, that I shouldn’t be wrestling and to take some time off to let it heal.
Grandma: I think you should listen to the doctor. He’s a professional, he knows what he’s talking about.
Chris: Its not that simple Grandma. You have to be a wrestler to understand.
Grandma: It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to understand that if you wrestle with an injured shoulder that your going to do more bad than good to it.
Chris: I understand that Grandma. But we have a Pay Per View next Sunday. Fans are expecting me to wrestle. If I don’t show up to wrestle, then the guy I’m fighting is going to go around telling everyone that I’m scared to fight him and that’s not the case. Plus, it’s a Pay Per View, that means a better pay check.
Grandma: None of those are a good enough reason to risk permanent damage to your shoulder.
Chris: It’s the unwritten rule of wrestling, it doesn’t matter if your sick, dying, or injured, if your booked for a match, you wrestle that match. You do what you got to do to do it.
Grandma: I’m not going to tell you what to do. You’re a big boy, you can make the decision and have to live with it. But as your grandmother and the person to raised you, I can only advise you not to wrestle. I care about you Chris, I don’t want anything bad to happen to you.
Chris: I appreciate that, I really do, and it means a lot to me. But its one more match, then we get a break for Christmas. Since injuring it a month ago, I’ve been doing some shoulder exercises and it does feel better. And I’ve talked with my boss, President Jeff and the General Manager for Asylum, Reginald, and their going to give me a lighter schedule to help me through this. I think as long as I wrestle once or twice a month and I be careful in the ring, then I should be fine and I should be able to get my shoulder healed.
Grandma: Did you tell that to your doctor.
Chris: Can’t say I have.
Grandma: It only takes one mistake Chris. What your next opponent attacks your shoulder. What are you going to do then.
Chris: If it happens, and I get hurt, then I’ll go for surgery. Surgery is my last resort. If I can avoid it, I will.
Grandma: You’re a smart kid Chris. I didn’t raise no fool. I know your going to do what you want to do. Your stubborn like that, just like your Mother.
Chris: Don’t worry about me Grandma, I’ll be fine. But enough about that, I got something for you.
Chris passes her an envelop.
Grandma: What’s this?
Chris: Consider it an early Christmas gift.
Chris grandma opens it up and it’s a Christmas card. She open the card up and there’s two tickets in there.
Grandma: A Plane ticket to Seattle Washington and a ticket to Christmas Chaos.
Chris: That’s right, I’m taking you to see me wrestle. I’ve even have your hotel room paid for and everything, you don’t have to spend a cent.
Grandma: You didn’t have to Chris.
Chris: I wanted to.
Grandma: Thank you Chris.
With that, the scene fades to black.

The scene opens up in a room where Chris Cyrus is standing in front of the Christmas Chaos poster that’s on a wall and the camera is on him.
Chris: My name…Is Chris Cyrus. I’ve been in APW for 4 years, longer than anyone. I’m an APW Original. I’m a grand slam champion, two time Tag team Champion, Overdrive Champion, Suicidal Champion and I held the Xtreme Title for 364 days. With that being said, Christmas Chaos, has always been one of my favorite Pay Per Views. I’ve had good success at Christmas Chaos. First, in 2008, I won the Xtreme Title and the Chris Cyrus Era began. In 2009, I lost the title, but, I did it in what I think was my best match ever. In 2010, I wasn’t at the event because of IWC, But last year I whooped Jason Royce in a fans brings the weapons match and almost won the IWC World Heavyweight Title. This year, I make my return to Christmas Chaos, and my opponent, none other than a man who is making his in ring return….Blade
Blade, I’ve beaten you in the past and I’ll beat you again. You think your smart, a few weeks ago dressing up like Santa Clause and Playing some mind games with me, well guess what, I bet you thought it was a good idea when I knocked you on your ass at the last Asylum event. During my talk show on Asylum Blade, when I punches you right in the mouth and knocked you on your ass. I won’t lie, it felt damn good. And while you we’re on your ass, looking up at me, I caught a glimpse of your eyes Blade. And I saw something, admit it or not, I know what I saw and that was Fear. The fear in your eyes showed that you second guessed yourself, it showed that the thought went through your mind of maybe, just maybe you shouldn’t have come after me. Because don’t forget Blade, it was me who single handedly took down the Elite Posse back in August. Remember, It started with you, then the Gambling Superstars, and then Finally Branden Harvey at One Night in Hell. At Christmas Chaos Blade, I’m going to finish what I started. I’m going to put an end to you once and for all. If you think your gonna come back and make an Impact back into the ranks off my name, then you have another thing coming Pal.
Coming back after a break, I know Blade that your gonna have some ring rust. Everyone does after a break. And myself, I’ve wrestled here for 4 straight years without a break. I know what your capable of Blade, you are a former Tag Team Champion, even though CJ carried your butt, and it shows because now’s he’s Undisputed Champion, main eventing Pay Per Views, plus, you also won the CWC North American title earlier this year as well. I know your good Blade, I know you got what it takes to win titles, but one thing you don’t have what it take, and that’s beating me. See Blade, you need to realize this, I hold victories over some of the best wrestlers in the world. I’ve have a wins over The Ass Kickers Anonymous from 2009, I have a win over our very own President, Hurricane Jeff. I made it to the final 4 of the 2009 Survive and Conquer match. I even have a win over former World Champion Pence Weatherlight. I’m not telling you all this to brag Blade, I’m telling you all this because I’m showing you just how much better I am than you. What have you done in APW besides ride CJ’s coat tails last year. Oh, I know, you’ve done nothing! Every tag team has one guy who will go on to bigger and better things. I was that person with my tag team with Jason Royce. And CJ was that guy with your guys team. And you know what that means, it means you’re the Jason Royce of the Exchange Rate. You are now on the same level as Jason Royce. When people make a list of tag teams that broke up and I’m in the column of people who gone on to do great things, you get put in the same list as Jason Royce. I’ll give you this though, you are a better wrestler than Royce, Not by much, but at the end of the day, you can wrestle your way out of a paper bag. And to think, if you had won Test for the Best this year, you could have been in CJ’s shoes right now. It could have been you and Biggs in an Iron Man Match. You could be the Undisputed Champion right now. But your not, because you choked under pressure and you blew it, just like your going to blow it at Christmas Chaos.
I can guarantee you Blade that there‘s won be a new Blade Era after Christmas Chaos. I can guarantee you that after Christmas Chaos, no one will care about you. Just like no one has cared about you before. Blade, at Christmas Chaos, I’m going to beat you all over the arena. I’m going to make you wish that you never came back to APW. I’m going to show you that I am a force to be reckoned with. I’m going to prove to you that taking out the Elite posse single handedly wasn’t a fluke. Blade, I’ve wrestling in many hardcore matches without using weapons. My bare hands are my weapons and Sunday Night, your going to see how dangerous I can be when I send your ass STRAIGHT TO HELL. And you know why I’m going to do that? Its because….I’m Simply……AWESOME!
