The camera fades in to an empty dining room, settling on an entire dining table filled with the usual food people prepare for Christmas. There's turkey, potatoes, parsnips, pigs in blanket, red cabbage, some boiled vegetables, and even brussel sprouts.
BETSY GALLAGHER: (V.O.) It has been a while since I spent Christmas home, since I was home. For the past few years, I've been traveling all over the world, wrestling in different promotions, wrestling different competitors, working on my craft, trying to be better in the ring... I haven't really had time to come home and celebrate with the family, but if you know my family, if you know the Gallaghers of Manchester, well, you'd know that's not really an option.
We then see a montage of the Gallagher wrestling family in action, each member highlighted in a snippet of a previous match. From Betsy's mom in her prime to her dad still wrestling in the U.K. scene, and finally, to her older brother Charles who is a multi-time U.K. World Champion and even considered a national hero, each of them gets a brief turn in the proverbial spotlight.
BETSY GALLAGHER: (V.O.) There is no holiday for a Gallagher. There is only the ring. There is only the wrestling.
The scene switches to an empty living room. There is a fire in the fireplace and the Christmas tree towering over everything else is lit up. It looks very festive, despite the lack of people in the space.
BETSY GALLAGHER: (V.O.) Looks like some things never change... Because this year, I'll still be away from home, working my arse off against Rapture in a Deck the Halls Match at Louis Armstrong Stadium in New York City!
The camera finally reveals Betsy Gallagher in all her glory, standing in an empty ring presumably inside the Stadium in New York. She is wearing her wrestling gear and smiling directly at the camera. Everything behind and around her is left in the dark, however.
BETSY GALLAGHER: Project: Honor... Season's Beatings... This isn't my first time wrestling, but this is my first match in Project: Honor. I'm looking forward to showing everyone what I can do all over again. It's just who I am. As a Gallagher, I can't wait to get in that ring and show the Project: Honor fans what British wrestling is all about, what my family is all about, what I am all about. This...will be my Proving Ground.
The camera lingers on Betsy in the dark before the lights in the stadium all turn on, revealing that behind and around her are her family. Or at least, most presumably, CGI stand-ins of them, as most of them are still wrestling all over the world. The camera zooms in on Betsy's face, and she knowingly winks, a playful smirk on her lips, before the camera blips out.
