Hall Of Fame Ceremony 2022
(The show returns from commercials as Phillip Saints makes his way down the entrance ramp to the ring that has been turned into a Hall of Fame stage along with the podium in the middle of the ring.)
(Phillip Saints is wearing a dark blue three piece suit as he walks up the steel steps and gets behind the podium as he looks at all the members of the ICW and WKW fans in attendance and the whole ICW and WKW roster sitting on the top of the entrance ramp.)
Phillip Saints: This really brings back memories when I was the one up here getting inducted into that year's Hall of Fame but that's in the past. Tonight I have the distinct honor of inducting one of not just my rivals besides Robert of course but also one of my dearest friends into the ICW Hall of Fame Class of 2022; This man truly needs no introduction but if I must then the one word that comes to my mind that can summarize the legendary career of tonight's inductee: The Enforcer is "Phenomenal" because whether you're teaming with him or standing across the ring from him, he was simply phenomenal. He had this ability to always bring out the best in whomever ever be was in the ring against or teaming with, and on top of that; he wasn't judgemental or blame others for when he lost matches. He also wasn't afraid to take up the role of locker room leader in order to put those that needed to be reeled in from time to time.
(The camera pans to Robert Saints.)
Phillip Saints: As I was saying, Enforcer is a great man for everything that he has done in this ring but more importantly what he has done backstage and now that he's brought back his baby WKW to ICW as it's third brand means that he's now added a new hat to his head full of hats as boss and also papa to all the young stars in WKW that come to him with suggestions and advice for their matches.
(Phillip Saints wipes his forehead with his handkerchief and continues his speech.)
Phillip Saints: I don't remember these lights being so bright; Now I need all of you live here in attendance and the millions watching all around the world to get up out of your seats and make some noise for the 2022 Hall of Fame Class Inductee: The Enforcer!!!
(After being introduced by Phillip Saints, The Enforcer comes out dressed in a black suit.)
(He then stands in front of the podium with a microphone on.)
The Enforcer: Thank you Philip, for that introduction. You and I have a long history that has spanned many years in different wrestling companies. But Our friendship became stronger here in ICW along with your brother Robert.
(He goes on.)
The Enforcer: You see Me and Phillip had the privilege to face each other in many matches. And now Our destinies have become intertwined again in the rebirth of World Kingdom Wrestling. Phillip, I thank you for your trust in me running WKW and allowing you to compete in a WKW Ring.
(He then sees Lycra in the crowd and points to her.)
The Enforcer: At the first WrestleCade in 2019, Lycra, Jacob Remington, and Myself faced each other for the ICW United States Championship, even though Lycra defeated Me with My own Finisher The Tombstone to beat Me. (Laughs) But She made history that night and Became the first ICW United States Champion.
(The crowd cheers and claps.)
The Enforcer: Where's Jamo? There you are. At WrestleCade II, Me and Jamo made history by performing inside The Triple Cage. Jamo came out the winner that night. But I think Jamo will agree that Our bodies and Our careers were forever changed after that match. Jamo, I consider You one of the best in this Company and call you, My friend.
The Enforcer: At WrestleCade III, I faced Darren Maddox and The Crow for the ICW Mayhem Championship in another historic match in the first ever Barbwire Massacre Match. Darren, you came out of that match the victor as well. And Crow, you and Darren gave me one of the best matches of My career that night and I thank you.
(The crowd claps.)
The Enforcer: And now let's talk about the run I had as Mayhem Champion in 2022. I held the Championship for an amazing 246 days! A feat I'm sure won't be broken for a very long time. Angellus defeated me for the Championship and at WrestleCade IV, we will do battle again so I can reclaim the Mayhem Championship! Now you all are wondering when is this Legend going to finally call it a career?
(He listens to the crowd chanting "Never Retire! Never Retire!")
(He then wipes away a tear and continues.)
The Enforcer: Thank You.. But someday down the line You will se this Legend take his hat and coat and hang them up for good. When that day comes I hope who ever takes My place in ICW will mark their own path. To all of you in both Rosters, I want you to listen... One day you will stand here at this podium to make your speech and the first damn thing you better acknowledge is the fans. (Crowd Cheers) Because without the fans you are nothing! And it is because of you great fans that I have performed for you this long.
The Enforcer: I started My journey in 1999 and Tonight The Journey inches closer to it's eventual climax. And let me tell you it has been a pleasure to be The Enforcer for you all these 23 years... And I want to thank Cassandra, James, and William for giving Me the second chance that I needed to prove myself! For that I'm forever grateful.
The Enforcer: So in Closing... Let your dreams shine bright through the dark times because it's your dreams that will define you. And never lose faith in yourself or in your creator. Put your mind to the task and there's nothing....and I mean nothing... you cannot do if you put your mind to the task. Your time will come for glory. Until then, reach for the stars and create your own path and Future. Thank You!
(He's about to leave the podium when he sees a big box and opens it and puts on his coat and hat and says, " Let's enjoy this ride Together!" and "Never Say Never!")
