OOWF Hall of Fame Induction 2014
Live! From the Thomas Wolfe Auditorium
Asheville, NC
September 27, 2014

<The camera pans around the auditorium and we see tables set up on the floor with the OOWF contingent sitting there, everyone strategically placed to avoid a brawl (seriously, do you think that is easy?). The OOWF wrestlers are all dressed in their best and seem to be on their best behavior, though Chloe continues to glare at Power. The audience fills the upper seats and are busy watching their favorite wrestlers. The lights dim and GM the Nate is announced, but does not appear. He is announced a second time, but still does not show up. Finally, Adema’s “Immortal” plays and Ecosystem walks out on the stage and is immediately booed>

Eco: It’s good to see you all too. Now, unfortunately GM the Nate couldn’t be here………

TW: WHAT DID YOU DO TO HIM ECO? RUN HIM OVER?

Eco: Ahhhh Wilder, what a jokester! Nate couldn’t be here tonight, so who better to preside over these proceedings than me? After all, I created the OOWF, and looking out across this audience, I truly AM the leader of lost souls. But tonight isn’t entirely about me, no, tonight we have all gathered here to celebrate the induction of two more members into the OOWF Hall of Fame……a group that I am a key member of by the way.

Tonight, we welcome two more members to that exclusive club. Tonight, DH Magnusson and Davin Moreland take the step into OOWF Immortality. Tonight, we celebrate the careers of two men who may no longer be with the company, but will never be forgotten by their fans and fellow wrestlers. After tonight, both men will be able to add Hall of Famer to their official title.

<The crowd cheers loudly for this, after the applause dies down, Eco continues on>

Eco: Now, without further delay, here to induct DH Magnusson………”Cowboy” Chad Madison!

<”Save a Horse, Ride a Cowboy” plays and Chad Madison walks out to the podium, the crowd erupts and gives him a thunderous ovation. Chad can’t stop grinning at the reaction and looks somewhat humbled. After several minutes the cheers die down and Chad can talk>

CM: Wow. I didn’t expect that! Quickly, I want to thank all the fans for their well wishes, and I want to let you know that Texpress is handling their personal business, and you can look for us back in an OOWF ring sooner, rather than later!

<The crowd roars at this. Chad motions for them to quiet down>

CM: I appreciate all that, but tonight is not about me, or Zane, or Texpress. I know I may seem like an odd choice to induct DH since we never really ran together, but there is something about this man that is an inspiration to everyone, and until tonight, it was something that he kept to himself. But, I think for the world to understand who DH Magnusson is, his story deserves to be told.

When DH first showed up in the OOWF, I really didn’t think much of him. That is not to diminish his talent in any way, but we see so many come and go that you tend not to get too attached right away. Magnusson was a great wrestler, and once he teamed with the late Spin Hansen to form the Midnight Sons, I knew he was going to be an OOWF legend.

<More applause>

That is the man that everyone knows. The man that far fewer know is the man who was selfless, almost to a fault, with his charity work. Now, everyone knows that Zane, Bridgette and I do as much charity work as we can, but the man that really inspired us was Magnusson. What people don’t know about him is he is the modern day Mick Foley. He would sleep in the seediest hotels, sometimes even in his car, just so he could donate to the Animal Rescue fund. Upwards of 75% of his checks went to various charities. At a time when we had guys traveling in private planes, and sporting the latest million dollar cars, DH Magnusson was driving a Ford Fiesta and sleeping in truck stop parking lots, all because there were others that needed the money more than him. I can’t say enough what kind of impression that made on me, and Zane, and many, many others who give without drawing attention to themselves.

Inside the ring, DH Magnusson could throw down with anyone. He was big, burly and sometimes seemed like the second coming of Bruiser Brody, a madman completely out of control. But outside of the ring…….I have to tell one more story before we bring DH out…….

I can’t recall exactly where we were, somewhere in the states. We had just had a show, it was freezing outside. DH was walking to his car after a match with KZ. As he was heading through the parking lot, he saw a child, maybe ten or eleven, walking through the lot, looking under cars for cans to sell. Magnusson walked up to the little girl and asked what she was doing. The girl said she ran away from home because her parents were abusive and hooked on drugs, they didn’t even know that she was gone. DH looked around and took off his jacket and gave it to the girl, it was pretty much a dress on her, coming all the way to her ankles. He sat there and talked to her for a good hour, now remember, this is after a match with KZ, which is never easy, and outside in the freezing cold, and DH with no coat. Finally, they get up and he drives her away. I didn’t think a whole lot about it until I talked to DH shortly before the ceremony.

Turns out DH fostered the child. It wasn’t too long after that that DH left the OOWF. He quit the OOWF to raise a child he found on the streets. Today that girl is a senior in high school with a full scholarship to college. DH made a sacrifice that most of us would never consider. He walked away from a career so a child could have a chance in life.

<the crowd roars about this, and there are not many dry eyes in the crowd>

Ladies and gentlemen, it is my honor to induct this man into the OOWF Hall of Fame, class of 2014. Please join me in welcoming, a three time OOWF World Tag Team champion, as well as a former Intercontinental and Onslaught champion, and now and OOWF Hall of Famer……….DH MAGNUSSON!

<The crowd rises and gives DH a standing ovation. He walks out onto the stage and he and Chad share a manly embrace. Chad leaves and DH makes his way to the podium, but he can’t speak because the crowd won’t stop. DH looks a little awkward for a moment, and wipes a tear from his eye, which only makes the cheers louder. Finally the cheers die down enough that he can speak>

DH: That…….I don’t even know what to say…….

<More cheers>

DH: When I came to the OOWF, I was pretty much at the bottom. I knew this would be the last chance I had, and if this failed……well, I would probably be on the streets, bouncin’ for a few dollars and just scrapin’ by. A friend a’ mine said I should check out th’ OOWF. I had wrestled a little bit here n’there, but I didn’t think I could get by on it. I gave GM th’ Rick a call and he gave me a shot. Next thing I know, they offer me a contract for more money than I had ever seen and I was in th’ ring with the most insane people I had ever met!

Getting’ that first check, it did somethin’ ta me though. It changed me. It was more than I needed, and I looked around and saw people hurtin’ and needin’. People an’ animals, I decided ta use my good fortune ta’ help. Th’ OOWF gave me th’ chance ta give back. Ta take care a the others that didn’t have as much………ta make a difference in someone’s life………

<there is a long pause while DH gathers himself, the crowd’s cheers steadily increase the longer he takes to speak>

An now? Now, you have honored me with th’ Hall a’ Fame. Somethin’ I never thought possible. I wanta thank everyone that I worked with, I wanta thank you, the fans, and I wanta thank GM the Rick for givin’ me th’ chance when no one else would………

<another long pause, DH takes a deep breath>

And……..Chad was right. That little girl I found that night in th’ parkin’ lot……yeah, I took her in……..after a few years……I adopted her. I had ta’ get off th’ road and be a proper parent……..I missed it at first, but then…….I got to see my daughter grow up ta’ be a woman. She’s smarter n’ me, and I’d like ta bring her out please. Ladies an’ Gentlemen………Whitney Magnusson!

<Whitney comes out on the stage and runs to DH and gives him a HUGE bear hug. The crowd stands as one and gives them a huge ovation. Whitney points to the screen behind him and we see a pic of DH and the late Spin Hansen holding their just-won OOWF World Tag Team Titles. DH looks at the pic and smiles, then breaks down a little. Whitney hugs him again and raises his arm in victory. Not a dry eye in the house. The crowd breaks into a HUSS! HUSS! HUSS! Chant as DH and Whitney leave the stage. Things calm down and Eco walks out, Eco is, uncharacteristically, touched, and we see him wipe his eyes as well>

Eco: What? I am not a monster. That was touching! Our next inductee needs no introduction, but we are going to give him one anyway. Here to induct Davin Moreland……….FIREWOMAN!

<My Ruin plays and Firewoman walks out to the podium. She stands there for a moment and takes a deep breath to compose herself. The fans cheer loudly for her. Finally the cheers die down and Firewoman can speak>

FW: In all honesty, there isn’t much I can say about Davin Moreland that he hasn’t already said himself.

<the crowd gets a good laugh at this>

When I was approached to induct Davin, it was an honor. As all of you know, our history goes way back. Davin is a cousin to the Quinn’s, and I spent many summers at his place while my mother…….well, while my mother was doing other things. When Davin told me he was coming to the OOWF, I was excited and nervous. From my point of view, he could do no wrong, he was like another big brother <camera catches Moose frowning a bit>. Davin and I worked together quite a bit, and he became an even bigger part of my family when he married Samantha. <camera catches Alex frowning a bit>. Like all family, and most colleagues we have had our differences, inside and outside the ring, but like family, things always seemed to work out in the end.

<Fire takes a moment>

Davin was there when I was away at……at the hospital. Much like DH, people don’t realize how much of a caring person Davin is. Inside the ring, you will find no one, NO ONE with as much self-confidence as Davin, and it is well earned. But outside the ring…….Davin would do anything he could to help you out. When he left the OOWF to spend time with his family, he left a void that has yet to be filled. Not everyone liked him, but everyone respected him. Whether you booed him, or cheered him, you knew when Davin Moreland was on the card, you were going to see something special.

Tonight we celebrate the moment everyone, including Davin, knew was coming. Tonight, we welcome Davin Moreland, a FOUR-TIME OOWF World Heavyweight Champion, two time Onslaught Champion, former Intercontinental champion, former World Tag Team champion, and SIX time Campeonas de Trios champion, add all that up and you get a Six Pack champion, one hell of a wrestler, and now, a Hall of Famer………DAVIN MORELAND!

<Pull Me Under plays and Davin Moreland walks out onto the stage and stands in front of the podium. Fire gives her cousin a big hug and heads off. Davin stands there for a moment and soaks in the standing ovation, then smirks when the crowd breaks into a ONE MORE MATCH! ONE MORE MATCH! ONE MORE MATCH! Chant. The cheers eventually die down and Davin speaks>

I don’t think I have one more match in me……..

<The crowd doesn’t like this>

……..but if I did, I can think of a few people who deserve a good ass kicking <Davin stares at Alex and Moose, and the crowd explodes>

In all seriousness, never say never, right? <crowd cheers> but my last run here, it didn’t go so well. I came back a little too soon and, to be honest, my heart wasn’t in it. Now, that’s not to say I don’t still owe those New Guard assholes an ass kicking, it’s just……..now is not the time.

<crowd is disappointed at this>

When I came to the OOWF, I honestly didn’t know what to expect. I was the crazy guy talking to a piece of rebar. I had all the tools, but I lacked direction. There is one man I need to thank for that……..”The Main Event” Chris Cole. He saw something in me, and worked with me and allowed me to reach my full potential. Without Cole, I would probably have been another Grunt, or Carl From Fresno, a one trick pony that no one really cared about.

It was because of him that I met my beautiful wife, Samantha and got married, and had my beautiful daughter Mickie, who is GOING to one day be the new Firewoman

Voice from the crowd: I THINK ONE IS ENOUGH!

<everyone laughs>

DM: <laughing> well, maybe not quite as crazy as Fire, but if she is half as talented, I will have done my job as a father

<crowd roars for this, Davin starts tearing up a bit, then straightens up and pulls a piece of paper from his pocket>

The night would not be complete without this. Davin Moreland’s Top Ten Frauds of the Week

<the crowd ROARS for this>

10. Voltage – SERIOUSLY, how did he win breakthrough star? The ONE award I didn’t get, and it goes to HIM?

9. The New York Yankees – suck failure Yankees! Enjoy sitting at home during the playoffs!

8. Alexander Darling – seriously dude, what the hell?

7. Moosehead Jack – your sister was in a MENTAL INSTITUTION and you didn’t visit, you big jerk!

6. The WWE – you clowns have NO idea what you are getting in to

5. Ski Mask Guy – screw that guy

4. Justin Sane – you owe me money son! How many times did I give you five bucks?

3. Firewoman – for not being what I know she can be. Ditch the baggage and be great.

2. Alexander Darling – seriously, fuck that guy

And finally………….

LD Williams – dammit man, I am supposed to be the gold standard of the OOWF!

<the crowd roars for this and even LD has a good laugh at it>

Seriously though, I want to thank everyone who I worked with through the years, especially you Stank, you pushed me to be great, without you, without ALL of you, there would be no Davin Moreland. And for that, I thank you.

<Davin steps from behind the podium and bows to the crowd. Samantha and Mickie come out on the stage and join him with a big hug. Fire comes back out and gives him another hug before heading to her seat. They remain on stage and DH and Whitney come back out, Davin and DH share a manly hug and raise one another’s hands in victory, the crowd stands as one and gives them a thunderous ovation. After several minutes, Eco walks out with a mic>

Eco: Ladies and Gentlemen, your OOWF Hall of Fame Class of 2014!

<huge ovation continues. Then, Underdawg, Donovan Viper, Concrete TG, Attitude Adjuster, Johnny Adrenaline, Chis Cole, Ax-Man, Firechild, Poe, Blackdragon, Hardbody Harris, Niles Anderson and Outback Jack join DH, Davin and Eco on stage, while a picture of Spin Hansen reappears on the big screen. The entire OOWF Hall of Fame takes a bow and thanks the audience, while the audience roars like crazy. The camera pans around the room focusing on different active wrestlers, which of them will one day be in the Hall of Fame?>
