Thunderkiss

[Kim Jong CP]

*Thunderkiss strolls up to the podium, looking at Senator for a second before smiling out at the Kiss Army.*

TK: Ladies and gentleman, I say this this evening, that no matter what happened during my tenure, whether you loved me or hated me, whether I disgusted you or made you proud to be a wrestling fan, you guys were the reason I did what I did.

*Theirs a loud holler from the crowd, as one section gets all sorts of rowdy. TK points at them causing them to create an even larger ruckus.*

TK: Not a day went by when it was not a pleasure to step from behind the curtain, to look out and whether you were cheering or jeering, I knew that you cared. I knew that I had done my job and given you a reason to come to see ACW. I knew when I stepped into the ring that no matter the result, you would go home happy, saying you got the best entertainment value for your hard earned dollar. It was never about the money to be made in ACW, it was about efforts like the make-a-wish foundation, where a little Thundermaniac, dealing with insurmountable odds, asks to see you. The ability to see that little soldier’s face light up when you stepped into the room, that’s what made this all worth while.

*Thunderkiss looks out at the crowd fighting back some tears that are beginning to well in the corner of his eyes.*

TK: This is the greatest honor I could have having worked with ACW, being enshrined with some of the greatest there ever where. To Atomic Kitsune, congratulations, you deserve this because without you, this company doesn’t exist. To Latino, thank you for everything. To Yoko, brother, we made headlines once and we’ll do it again someway. To Sarin, Dan, Jonny and Gooey, though we may have never seen eye to eye, your contributions to this company are nevertheless recognized by me. To those who helped me make it this fair, Matt Irvine, Thunder Train, Jay Zero and everyone else, there was never a better way to spend long evenings on dusty roads then with you all.

To the Kiss Army, you’ve been by my side from day one, never letting the motto of sex, drugs and rock and roll fall by the way side. You’ve been recognized for what you truly are, the craziest band there ever was. Your support has meant everything to me, and for that, I thank you.

ACW, you’ve been my home away from home, kept me sane in an ever changing world and while this ceremony is to thank us for all we did, the honor is mine, to have stepped into your halls and made a difference. ACW, thank you, from the bottom of my heart, thank you.

*With that TK steps aside as the crowd begins to cheer for him, shouting his name as he looks out at them one last time.*
