OOWF Hall Of Fame 2010
<We open to the inside of the Dayton Civic Center Annex. It has been decorated lavishly – folks THIS is where the OOWF budget goes! Every single OOWF wrestler is there and is well-dressed for the occasion. We focus on the podium in the middle of the stage as GM the Rick walks out, accompanied by a well dressed Erlana. Rick is dressed in a tuxedo, and has a shiny new silver flask. The OOWF superstars all rise and give GM the Rick a standing ovation. He lets them applaud him for a few minutes then urges them to sit down.>
GMtR: Ok, ok, enough. The applause is not going to get any of you a raise, so you can just stop. <general murmur of laughter> It is hard to believe that it has already been a year ago that we came here for the first OOWF Hall of Fame induction and inducted Donovan Viper, UnderDawg and Ecosystem. Here we are again, where two more OOWF Legends are going to add their name to the pantheon of all-time OOWF greats. I can say with complete honesty that…..well that I am proud of each and every one of you. I may not LIKE you <GM the Rick looks at the Darling-Moreland table> but I respect, and am proud of every one of you. I am not one for tossing out platitudes just for the sake of it, but you guys keep up an insane tour schedule…
<from the back someone yells WHOOOOOOOO NUNAVUT!>
…..ridiculous matches with insane stipulations, and yet you still manage to keep this going night after night, week after week, year after year. <Rick pauses a moment and seems to consider what to say next, clearly going off what he has written for himself> Again, personal feelings aside, it is my hope that each and every one of you eventually wind up in the OOWF Hall of Fame, you all deserve it, and a round of applause. <there is a loud ovation for the wrestlers, and GM the Rick’s unusually kind words>
Ok, now, on to the inductions. Our first inductee has held the OOWF World Heavyweight Title, the OOWF Intercontinental Title and has been one half of the OOWF World Tag Team Champions as well as winning Face of the Year and Feud of the Year. He has consistently fought for the good of the OOWF maintaining a steadfast belief that good CAN triumph over evil. Ladies and Gentlemen, here to induct Concrete Takaken Gryfon, Moosehead Jack.
<Moose gets a nice ovation from the somewhat surprised crowd>
MHJ: Not who you were expecting was it? When I came to the OOWF it didn’t take long for me to target a geeky, nerdy superhero wannabe for destruction. I assumed I would be able to beat this comic nerd into submission and send him packing in a matter of weeks. Three years later, our feud was still roaring with no apparent end in sight. At Hell on Earth 4, it was decided that the feud would finally be put to rest in a Three Stages of Hell Match. I have been in a lot of brutal, bloody matches in my life, but that one still stands out as one of the most grueling matches of my career. In the end, Crete won that match, and thus you could say won the feud <grinning> though, I WOULD like one more shot Crete. With that win, I had no choice but to have a grudging respect for Crete. <applause>
Concrete TG is more than a tough wrestler though. Like his opinions on things or not, he is steadfast in his beliefs that good will always triumph over evil, and that as a general rule, people are good. I may not agree with him, but there is no one that will shake his beliefs. Ladies and Gentlemen, it is my honor to induct Concrete TG into the OOWF Hall of Fame, Class of 2010.
<Crete walks out on the stage as the rest of the OOWF rises in applause. Crete and Moose meet on the stage, and there is a moment’s hesitation, and the crowd murmurs at the thought of a Moose attack. But in the end, Moose grins and sticks out his hand, he and Crete shake hands and share a manly hug of mutual respect, and the crowd goes NUTS! Moose makes his way off the stage and Crete walks to the podium. The applause continues for several minutes, then finally dies down and Crete speaks>
CTG: Wow. I never thought THAT would ever happen. Ever. Over the summer of 2004, much like many others, I was contacted by Ecosystem about joining up with his upstart organization, the OOWF. At the time I was wrestling in Japan and doing some indy dates, and I have to admit, I had it pretty good. I debated walking away from that to join something so new, but then I realized that that would give me the perfect opportunity to get in on the ground floor and spread my belief in what wrestling could be. I signed on, and never looked back; I have had no regrets – except one. I regret that I never got to complete the Grand Slam and take my place among the true greats in the OOWF like Chris Cole, Moosehead Jack, LD Williams and Davin Moreland. I have a lot of dear friends in the OOWF; a lot of friends who share the same beliefs that I do, that wrestling can be about more than violence and bloodshed. Ravenna Blue, Tytan, Damon Wrath, Chris Evans….I like to think they carry the mantle that I started, I like to think that they can do what I was unable to do, and restore honor and fair-play to the OOWF. Many times in the course of my career, I was told I needed to turn, that I needed to embrace the dark side. I was told that for many reasons, that it would freshen up my character, that it would pop the crowd, that it would be a shocking swerve and get people talking. But I could never go through with it. I could never turn my back on what I stood for, and THAT is something I am proud of. But in all honesty, that pales in comparison to being selected to the OOWF Hall of Fame. That is an honor bestowed on me by my peers, and something that no match, no title, no accolades from the crowd, no amount of praise from the media can possibly top. I stand before you a humbled man, and I thank all of you from the bottom of my heart. Thank you so much.
<the crowd rises as one and applauds Concrete TG. GM the Rick and Erlana come back onto the stage and exchange handshakes and hugs with Crete. Crete stands and soaks in the cheers for a moment then exits off the stage, with a tear in his eye. The crowd settles down and GM the Rick speaks again.>
GMtR: Classy as always, thank you Crete. You know, when we first decided on the criteria for the OOWF Hall of Fame, we tossed around a lot of ideas. The only one we could settle on was that you had to be inactive in the OOWF. There was debate on tag teams, should they go in together? Could someone be inducted for a solo career AND a tag team career? Should individual accomplishments be considered when inducting a tag team? It figures that our next inductees would take that entire process and turn it on its ear. They were semi-active during our last tour of Japan. Both of them had decent solo careers, but certainly not Hall of Fame worthy, but as a tag team, there were few that could match their……ability. They are four time OOWF World Tag Team Champions, and undeniably one of the best promo. Two time Tag Team of the Year, Two time Feud of the Year, Two time Match of the Year and one time Promo of the Year award winners. Ladies and Gentlemen, here to induct the Chickenshit Heels……um, wow, is this right? Holy shit. Here to induct The Chickenshit Heels, the original Drink & Destroy, FF Capslock and Stank!
<The crowd is momentarily in shock as FF Capslock and Stank walk out to the podium, then they get to their feet and ROAR their approval. Lock and Stank look at one another for a moment then nod at one another and try to settle the crowd down a bit. It takes some time, but finally everyone is back in their seats>
Stank: You know, I have spent months trying to destroy what Drink & Destroy has become, but when I heard that The Chickenshit Heels were being inducted, it only seemed fitting that Lock and I should be the ones to do it, so for ONE NIGHT ONLY, I put my issues with Drink and Destroy aside and I am proud to take the stage with FF Capslock once again.
<the crowd roars again>
FFC: You know, I hate those guys.
<from off stage we hear Adrenaline yell “WE HATE YOU TOO”
FFC: SHUT THE FUCK UP JOHNNY!
<the crowd ROARS at this>
FFC: Seriously, fighting The Chickenshit Heels was like putting an eel in a tube sock. They were slippery little motherfuckers who ALWAYS seemed to find a way to weasel out of a match, a stipulation or an ass beating. And I say that with love. They made me, they made US, work harder at wrestling than anyone I have faced before or since.
Stank: It may sound odd coming from me, but at some point that dislike turned into a grudging respect of Johnny and AA. I knew their promos would be top notch forcing us to up our game in that department as well as in the ring. We went to hell and back with them, and to their credit they would not go away! They proved then with their in-ring ability, their promo ability, and their ability to just get on the nerves of every opponent that they have ever faced, that they were indeed, OOWF Hall of Famers
FFC: So without further adieu it is our pleasure to induct Johnny Adrenaline and Attitude Adjuster, The Chickenshit Heels, into the OOWF Hall of Fame, Class of 2010.
<Johnny Adrenaline and Attitude Adjuster walk out from the back, and they share handshakes and hugs with Capslock and Stank. Lock and Stank head behind the curtain and Johnny and AA stand at the podium and soak in the standing ovation from the crowd. It finally dies down, and AA and Johnny stand there and don’t really seem to know what to say. After a few seconds of awkward silence, AA speaks>
AA: Wow, The Chickenshit Heels are at a loss for words, what are the odds on that?
JA: I don’t know, but I am sure you could get them from your bookie in Vegas
<The crowd roars>
JA: Both of us started as singles wrestlers in the OOWF. I had early success as the Intercontinental champion. AA, well, not as much. Someone got the bright idea to pair us up with Beast….
<at the mention of his name the mic stops working. Johnny taps it a few times, then takes off the cover and BEAST POPS OUT! He shakes Johnny and AA’s hand, then disappears again>
AA: Yeah, that is about right for the OOWF. When Johnny and I started teaming, something just clicked. We were both old school fans, we grew up worshipping the Four Horsemen, the Midnight Express, Jimmy Cornette, guys that could not only wrestle but could also cut a promo too. We wanted to set the standard for both in the OOWF.
JA: We did have a little help with the Box O’Promos, until that jerk Moosehead Jack stole them. But even without that, it didn’t matter. You ain’t nobody in this business until the Chickenshit Heels have cut a promo on you!
AA: SO WHATCHA GONNA DO, BROTHER, WHEN THE CHICKENSHIT HEELS CUT A PROMO…..ON……YOU! <AA flexes, the crowd roars with laughter>
JA: Seriously?
AA: What?
JA: In all honesty, we are honored to be selected to the OOWF Hall of Fame. There have been lots of great tag teams in the OOWF’s past, Hellion and Corax, 3Piece Set, the Dragons, Drink & Destroy just to name a few. To be honored as the best among that class is truly something special, and something that neither of us will ever forget.
AA: We would like to thank everyone, from the bottom of our hearts, thank you for being promo fodder for us. Thank you for giving us so much to work with, I mean really, LOOK at this crowd! Seriously, all we can say is thank you, and pay our respects to another one of our favorite teams with a FIVE SECOND POSE!
<Johnny and AA strike a pose as the crowd stands and gives them a standing ovation and thunderous applause. GM the Rick and Erlana come out onto the stage and there are more handshakes and hugs. The Chickenshit Heels bow to the audience and head to the back. The crowd finally settles down and GM the Rick wraps things up>
GMtR: Ladies and Gentlemen that closes our ceremony for the evening. I would like to congratulate the Class of 2010 Hall of Fame inductees one more time, but before I do that, I would like to bring out the class of 2009.
<UnderDawg, Donovan Viper and Ecosystem walk out to the stage and are joined by Concrete TG and The Chickenshit Heels. The crowd stands and gives them an ovation that lasts forever. Finally GM the Rick gets a chance to speak>
GMtR: Ladies and Gentlemen, your OOWF Hall of Famers! Thank you, and good night!
<the camera pans across the crowd of OOWF Wrestlers, all standing and applauding the Hall of Famers, then we fade to black.>
<We open to the inside of the Dayton Civic Center Annex. It has been decorated lavishly – folks THIS is where the OOWF budget goes!
