OOWF Hall of Fame 2012
<We cut to the inside of the Dayton Arena Annex. It has been dressed up for the occasion. Tables are all draped with fine linen, and everyone is dressed in their best attire. Awesome Bill From Dawsonville is even wearing sleeves tonight, so you know it is a big deal. The spotlight falls on the podium and GM Selena walks out, looking like she is in complete control, a far cry from her nervousness of last year. She steps to the podium and gets a nice ovation from the crowd. When it finally dies down, the General Manager speaks>
GMS: Last year, I admit to being nervous when I came out here in front of all of you. One year later, and all those butterflies are gone. Last year, the enormity of inducting legends into the Hall of Fame weighed on my. This year, I am proud and honored to be a part of the ceremony. In just two days, the OOWF will celebrate their eighth year anniversary at Hell on Earth. <applause>. There were many, many critics who thought we wouldn’t last eight weeks, let alone eight years. The legends we induct tonight helped carry the OOWF on their backs and make it what it is today, the single greatest wrestling fed on the planet <huge ovation for that>. I am proud to be a part of the OOWF. When Omar first brought me in, I thought this place was full of insane lunatics. All these years later……well I still think it is full of insane lunatics, but they are insane lunatics I consider family!
<GM Selena gets a standing ovation for that>
GMS: But tonight is not about me. It is not about any of us currently in the OOWF. It is about honoring the past. It is about giving those who bled and sweated and busted their asses to make the OOWF relevant their recognition. Tonight is about creating legends and legacies. Tonight, we are here to honor Blackdragon and Hardbody Harris in the 2012 OOWF Hall of Fame class!
<wild applause>
GMS: Our first inductee was here from day one. In his debut match, he defeated fellow Hall of Famer Concrete TG in somewhat controversial fashion. From there, he formed a team with SoulDragon and they went on to become one of the toughest teams in OOWF history. He is a two time Intercontinental Champion, an Onslaught Champion and a former tag team champion. Ladies and gentlemen, here to induct Blackdragon into the OOWF Hall of Fame…….LD Williams
<LD Williams gets a huge ovation from the crowd. He walks to the podium and waits for the cheers to die down. When they finally do, he speaks>
LDW: I am sure some of you are wondering why I was chosen to induct Blackdragon. To be honest, at first I was too, but the more I thought about it, the more I began to understand the decision. Blackdragon and I were a lot alike. We are men who prefer to let our actions speak for themselves. I faced Blackdragon many times in that ring, and each and every time, I knew I was in for the fight of my life. Blackdragon doesn’t get the recognition he deserves for being one of the very best wrestlers I have ever stepped into the ring against. Had he decided to stay, I have no doubt he would have reached the elite levels of the sport that he so deserved. I remember talking to him not long before he left. He told me he wanted to have a family, a normal life that you just can’t get being on the road like we are. I respected his decision, even if I never thought he would stick to it. He did, and now he has a wife and two beautiful children. As much as I miss getting in the ring with him, there is no way I can argue with his decision. Ladies and Gentlemen, it is my honor to induct, to the 2012 OOWF Hall of Fame class…….Blackdragon.
<Blackdragon walks out onto the stage and he and LD share a handshake and a hug. Blackdragon steps to the podium and the crowd rises as one and gives him a long ovation. After several minutes, BD looks a little uncomfortable and asks for the crowd to be seated>
BD: Wow. You know, anytime you can get LD Williams to say more than a few words, you are doing something right <laughter from the crowd> When I got the call from the OOWF headquarters inviting me to sign up for this new fed that would revolutionize wrestling, I was a little skeptical at first. I mean, I was working pretty regularly in Atlanta and Puerto Rico and had some dates lined up in Mexico. I came here to Dayton to listen to their pitch and saw the talent they had already signed, and the vision Ecosystem had for the future. I signed right then and there and never looked back. In my time here I worked with some of the absolute best wrestlers I have ever seen in the ring. I got to team with SoulDragon and face legendary teams like Hellion and Corax, 3Piece Set and the Team From Down Under, to name a few. When I made the decision to walk away and focus on family, I never dreamed that one day I would be back accepting this kind of honor. I am truly at a loss for words to express my gratitude to every one of you. All I can say is thank you. From the bottom of my heart, thank you to each and every one of you.
<Blackdragon gets another standing ovation from the crowd and GM Selena comes back out and gives him his OOWF Hall of Fame plaque. He poses for a picture with her, then holds the plaque above his head and gets even more cheers.>
GMS: Ladies and Gentlemen…….one more round of applause for Blackdragon! <wild cheers>. Our next inductee……..man this guy was something else. A two time world heavyweight champion and a former tag team champion, and few would argue the greatest face in OOWF history. He made the ladies swoon……IF YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN, AND I THINK YOU DO! <laughter> Ladies and gentlemen, here to induct Hardbody Harris into the OOWF Hall of Fame…….The Kai!
IF YA SMELLLLLLLLLLLLLA WHAT THE KAI……..IS………SURFIN
<The Kai walks to the podium and the crowd cheers. He looks around and stops the crowd with the raise of a hand>
K: FINALLY……..THE KAI……HAS COME BACK…….TO………DAYTON! The Kai was asked to introduce Hardbody Harris and at first the Kai was a little confused. The Kai had never worked with Hardbody Harris before. The Kai had HEARD of Hardbody Harris, but he did not KNOW Hardbody Harris. So the Kai, who is as smart as he is good looking, the Kai went to the OOWF Archives and he walked up to the monkey in charge and the Kai said this. The Kai told that monkey working in the production room to get the Kai all the tape he could on Hardbody Harris. Then when he got that tape, he wanted him to put all that tape into one compilation disc. And he wanted him to take that disc, shine that sumbitch up real nice and then STICK IT STRAIGHT…….into the DVD player. <The Kai pauses for laughter>. What the Kai saw was a man after his won heart! The Kai saw a man who liked pie. The Kai saw a man who liked popcorn and porn. The Kai saw a man who ran around talking to a cartoon mouse. The Kai is still a little confused about that one. But what the Kai saw most of all was a man who OWNED the ring. The Kai saw a man who OWNED the crowd. The Kai saw a man that had the MILLIONS <crowd> AND MILLIONS….of OOWF fans eating right out of the palm of his hand. Most importantly, the Kai saw a man that he knew right away was a LEGEND. The Kai saw a man that he respected. The Kai saw a man that he knew had the same greatness that the Kai possesses. And tonight……on this very stage……it is the Kai’s honor, the Kai’s privilege, to induct Hardbody Harris into the OOWF Hall of Fame. Ladies and Gentlemen……..Hardbody Harris!
You never close your eyes anymore when I kiss your lips.
And there's no tenderness like before in your fingertips.
You're trying hard not to show it, (baby).
But baby, baby I know it...
<the crowd sings along and the pyro goes off>
YOU’VE LOST THAT LOVING FEELING
<Hardbody Harris comes out onto the stage, looking in far better shape than he was during the OOWF 500. The crowd rises as one and gives him a loud ovation as the song continues to play. When it finally ends, Harris stands at the mic and looks out at the crowd>
HH: I guess I could try another heel turn right here and tell all of you how much I hate you, but my last heel turn went so badly it set the standard for failed heel turns. <laughter> Though, DH Magnusson certainly gave me a run for my money! <more laughter>. During my time in the OOWF, I made many friends, and just a few enemies. Along the way, I also became familiar with more than a few of the Sexy Female Journalists……..IF YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN <crowd> AND I THINK YOU DO! So, Chad Madison, you are stealing my gimmick! <more laughter>. In all seriousness, I know I had to wait a few years to get into the hall of fame, and for most people, that would lead to resentment and anger, but not for me. I know this honor is worth the wait. It may have taken five years or five hundred years, but in the end, I am able to call myself an OOWF Hall of Famer, and that is an honor that can’t be topped. <applause>. There are a lot of people I would like to thank, but I always said that if this time came I wouldn’t blather on, however, there is one person I have to acknowledge. Chris Alt. Altrageous. He and I won the tag titles together, and failed spectacularly in a heel turn together. He is someone I consider a friend in a business where there are not many real friends. I look forward to the chance to be on this stage when he gets his rightful induction into the hall. Until then, I want to thank you all for giving me this honor. Thank you.
<The crowd rises again and salutes Hardbody Harris, who is given his plaque and takes a picture with GM Selena, he is then joined by Blackdragon>
GMS: Ladies and Gentlemen, the 2012 OOWF Hall of Fame Class!
<huge ovation from the crowd for that>
<the current members of the OOWF Hall of Fame walk out onto the stage and join Blackdragon and Hardbody Harris while Spin Hansen’s picture comes up on the OOTron. The Hall of Famers turn to the picture and all raise their fists in solidarity with their fallen comrade. The rest of the OOWF roster make their way to the stage where there are handshakes and hugs as we fade to black.>
