*BK London steps up to the podium*

BK London: Thank you, thank you for that reaction - trust me, it means more to me than you'll ever know.

*The crowd dies down a bit as London opens up his speech, and he takes a big breath before reading.*

BK London: When I first joined GFWWE - I was 19 years old, and anxious to get my wrestling career started since after high school, I planned to go to the army to help me figure out my career. It wasn't exactly what I wanted to do, but it was something ...it was something. However, I also knew that I loved one thing - and that was wrestling. I loved watching people perform, I loved sitting down at home watching RAW or Smackdown and seeing my favorite wrestlers wow me, amaze me - and take me into a new zone. I wanted to give kids that feeling, I wanted to bring a smile on a kid's face, because I know if I had the opportunity to change one life through all of this - then my career was worth it. GFWWE failed however, and I didn't exactly know if I wanted to continue this - because I loved GFWWE and I planned to stay loyal. But with all my friends leaving, it just didn't seem like a good idea at the time - so I took some time off the clear my head. A month later, I join ACW - and this company would change my life for the best. ACW would help me buy the engagement ring for my girlfriend, now wife Kiley Johnson. ACW would help me save for tuition so one day my kids could get into college and do what I couldn't do - give them the life I wasn't so fortunate to receive. But ACW would nearly take everything I have from me. While ACW gave me so much opportunities and the ability to have success in other venues like music, it almost took away everything I had - my family. My wife an kids left me, and I was on a downward spiral of depression. I loved what I did, but I didn't love what it had turned my life into. A bittersweet feeling for sure.

*BK fights back the emotions, looking out at everyone who made this night possible*

BK: There were times where I felt like giving it up was the only option, and it was. I left ACW for a while, and then I came back with my batteries recharged and I performed to the best of my abilities. But this experience was the best of my life, and I'm only 26 - so what does that say about the rest of my life? I honestly think I'm the youngest guy in history to ever retire from professional wrestling under my own accord - but it feels nice. It feels nice It also feels good to etch my own mark in ACW history - something that I'm very - VERY proud of. Despite what you think, I'm not much of an award receiving speech kind of guy - I allow most of my actions to speak for itself in the ring. But I just want to thank everybody in ACW from the top guys in management like Chairman Gingerdude, Russo, and Hawthorne - to the guys who I actively fought in the ring night to night. Thank you most to the fans though, you're every reason why I do it. I love you, and I'll see you tomorrow night - at Omega Effect VI, and I promise to steal the show.

*With that BK steps away as the crowd rises to their feet.*
