*We open up this evening, to a shot of Samuel Hawthorne standing in front of the lectern.*
Hawthorne: Ladies and Gentleman, good evening.
Tonight, we finally complete our first inductions into the ACW Hall of Fame. For three years this night has been rumored and tonight we deliver. Throughout our seven plus years, many men and women have stepped through the doors and all have made some form of contribution to this company. On this evening however, we gather to honor eight who made the biggest mark on this company, who without them, we would not be gathered.
*There’s a cheer from the crowd.*
Hawthorne: Tonight, we are able to pay homage to those who made ACW into the greatest wrestling company on the earth. Those who defied the odds when people said we would not last three months, then a year, then two years and told everyone that this was something to watch, something they needed to be a part of.
Atomic Kitsune, Latino, Jonny Spade, Gooey Garth, Sarin Rossi, Yoko Satoshi, Thunderkiss, Dan White and BK London, you all are deserving of this honor and are deserving of our thanks.
Ladies and gentleman, before we begin, I ask you all to stand and give a cumulative round of thanks to this years inducting class.
*Everyone stands and begins to clap as the nine inductees stare around, awe struck at the support that is being heaped on them.*
Hawthorne: Now, ladies and gentleman, I officially declare, the halls of ACW’s Hall of Fame, open to inductees, and it is only fitting, we begin with a women who made her mark, welcoming others to this fed.
*With that, Hawthorne steps aside as we are ready for our first induction.*

*Yoko Satoshi steps up to the podium*
Hello, Yoko speaking. Buckle up, we're going on a journey that goes in and out of character. It may be a bumpy ride.
In 2005 BK London told me a new member was stalking me and that I needed to come to the chat. Once there, I met the new user, Scarlet, AKA Sarin Rossi. She knew everything about Yoko, and that's when I knew I had to have her.
But this isn't about me, or love at first sight. This is obviously about Sarin.
I was shocked at how quickly she could produce content. Quality content, at that, and on par with me. That was when I knew I had to have her.
...
Seriously though, I knew she had what it took to be huge, if she developed properly. In character we were happy lovers, but outside, we fought constantly about what some would refer to as "retarded shit."
That changed with a real life suicide attempt, which I bring up for this reason; it sparked new life into her. It humbled her, it focused her, and it changed her, almost like the mythical phoenix rising from its ashes. She had new determination, and new ideas, which to me seemed radical at the time.
I'd already retired. I "finished" Yoko's story, finished the Mercer Stanton story, and had my world title run.
But Sarin had a vision of an unstoppable force. Her ideas pulled me back in. 2006 was going to be the year of Flower Power. Period.
And it was. With our drive combined, we were literally unstoppable. After we retired the first tag titles, Sarin decided a break was needed, as she was beginning college. Besides that, it was really starting to bother her that so many people were claiming she was only winning by riding my coat tails, despite beating the world champion twice in non title matches.
And then I got sick.
And then I got sick again.
And then I got sicker. I was told I had two or three weeks left to live.
This may sound silly, after all ACW is wrestling roleplaying over the internet. Merely a time wasting hobby.
But while I was sobbing and dying and in pieces, Sarin was twice as affected as me. And like the suicide attempt before, she was reborn once again. She had to prove to her detractors, to me, and to herself that she was what I always said she was, that she had the talent to dominate by herself, that she hadn't simply leeched off of my success. She also set out to make my final days happy.
Spoilers, I didn't die. Sarin, however, accomplished her goals and won the world title without involving me.
In character or out of character, in singles or tag team, Sarin is a force. I'm proud to call her my apprentice, my tag team partner, former tag team champion, former world champion, my friend, my girlfriend, my fiance, my future wife, and now a member of the ACW Hall Of Fame.
Some say she'd be no one without me, but really, I'm no one without her.
I present this award to Sarin Rossi.
*Yoko takes a bow as she looks down at Sarin, now making her way to the podium*

*Sarin Rossi strolls to the podium, looking elegant as always*
I'm not sure what to say. Thank you, very much. This is a real honor, especially because I'm primarily known as a competitor in the tag division.
I'd like to thank Atomic Kitsune, Alicia, for paving the way for most women in ACW.
To my fellow inductees, you are all truly inspiring wrestlers, and I'm honored to be in this class with you.
Thank you, to Yuki Satoshi, for her tireless energy when we're touring.
To Thunderkiss: I hate you with a frightening fury, though I won't forget our feud for years to come. Thank you for pushing me as a wrestler and as a storyteller.
To Rattlesnake: you're a true friend, very loyal, and I will always cherish the time we had together.
A special thank you to the fans, who kept me going when all I wanted was to lie down in a bar and drown in a glass of wine. Or six.
*As she looks down at Yoko, and that at her fans she fights off her emotions.*
And, to Yoko, brilliant Yoko, I would not be standing her if it wasn't for your mentorship and love. I love you with all my corrupt heart.
Thank you, all of you,
*With that Sarin steps aside to a round of applause.*

Dan: Throughout the course of ACW history, if there’s one group who could potentially match the greatness of The Untouchables, it is G-Unit. From death defying matches, to the Omnipresent Cheese dip, Jonny Spade and Gooey Garth put tag team wrestling on the map in ACW.
*A solid round of applause for G-Unit, as more than one Wiimote is raised in the air in homage of the two men*
Dan: When tag team wrestling is brought up in ACW, G-Unit or Wyldcard, whichever entity you wish to refer to them as is the first thing that is brought up. They have the most reigns together, the most days but more importantly, the memories they created for each and every person.
*Dan’s gaze comes across both Jonny, dressed in a three piece tuxedo, and Gooey, dressed in a Final Fantasy shirt.*
Dan: In this inaugural class, they are two of the most deserving men. From their role in pioneering the tag team division, to their ability to mentor young tag teams and more importantly, the endless hours they put into promoting ACW and turning it into the juggernaut it is today.
Ladies and Gentleman, the first tag team to enter the ACW Hall of Fame, G-Unit.
*Dan steps aside and joins in the round of applause from the gathered assembly.*

*Jonny and Gooey approach the stage. The two smile and Jonny motions for the crowd to quiet down with his hands by lifting them up and bringing them closer to the ground.*
Jonny: Guys please! Shh… shh
*The fans start to quiet down and Jonny begins to speak.*
Jonny: As many of you fans know I am not big on speeches as many others are; and –
*Jonny looks over at Gooey who has food in his mouth.*
Jonny: Really Gooey…really?
Gooey: W..at?
Jonny: First you decide to not dress up for this event.
Gooey: Its not my style to.
Jonny: I get that. But you could at least not stuff your face while up here.
Gooey: But… *swallows* I got bored, I wasn’t sure how long you were gonna be talking for so I started eating…
*Jonny face palms and shakes his head but then he wonders why he bothers sometimes with him.*
Jonny: Anywho…as I was saying, Gooey and myself couldn’t have gone as far as we did if it were not for you, the fans to get us there. We were glad to see you there from the first tag title win through to the fourth and last title win. And sure I won two other tag titles with Jake…
*…OM NOM NOM NOM…*
…These four were the best to have been apart of.
*Gooey goes to wipe his mouth full of Oreos but Jonny hands him a napkin to do so instead. Gooey stops in mid motion of using the back of his hand and takes the napkin to wipe it instead.*
Jonny: So from myself and I am sure from Gooey too if he was able to talk, we both would like to thank the fans in helping us get to where we are now.
*The music cues once again and the two of them make their way off stage with their ceremonial plaques to make way for the next round of presenters.*

*Senator Steve Phillips steps up to the podium, not looking entirely pleased as he does so.*
The Senator: I was asked to deliver this induction speech...and I thought that the committee behind this show was insane when they make that request. Not only did they blatantly snub me, but then they have the nerve, the gall to ask me to do this, to induct one of the sleaziest individuals ever to walk into an ACW ring, one of the most disgustingly rude, crude, and just plain vile people I have ever had the displeasure of knowing. But also let it be known that I AM here, and that I can even say I am glad to be here.
*Phillips looks up for a moment, taking a slow breath as he continues.*
Senator: Yes, I am here to induct the man they call Thunderkiss into the ACW Hall of Fame. You see, from day one, I could tell that there was something special about him...and something terribly off. On one hand, we have ourselves the most physically powerful force ever to have entered into the organization, the man impressed from that fateful day throughout his reign of terror in the organization. Thunderkiss was horribly unpolished at first in his technical ability, but won a ton of matches through a mix of pure power and sheer determination. He also happened to lose a lot of matches to Adrian Flamingo, but I shaln't mention...er...well, he eventually avenged those.
*The Senator looks around for a moment, with a bit of a nervous expresssion.*
Senator: So, as I go on, what was I saying...oh yeah, Thunderkiss made his mark early on, and set the bar with his earthshatteringly obnoxious behavior. You see, though, the fans may have been shocked, but they liked it, and they liked it a lot, to my own dismay. The Kiss Army never went away as long as Thunderkiss was around, and his immense charisma was a big reason for that. They were the loudest, most passionate fans in ACW history, only turning on him briefly when he joined my Stable and cleaned up his act, however temporarily that lasted. He drew not only fans, but other wrestlers to himself, as the Entourage testified, one of the largest groups of its era, and TK carried it upon his capable shoulders. Thunderkiss was not the type of man to monopolize belts, not unlike Bruiser Brody or Stan Hansen in their time, he was larger than any title, bigger than any company, and while he could be relied upon to entertain moreso than any other man in ACW history, he refused to be contained within the bounds of traditional rankings and competition.
Senator: Now, I cannot let this speech finish without specific mention of my own connection to this Hall of Famer. I fought Thunderkiss early in his career, and from that moment, I knew that he would be a challenge like no other. We feuded with a rare intensity that may well be unmatched in ACW, and a big part of that was due to our diametrically opposed outlooks and styles. Where I wanted to bring about respect and order while keeping an eye turned toward tradition, Thunderkiss wished nothing more than to smash things and revel in the ruins. Where I approached wrestling as a craft to be honed and perfected, Thunderkiss took pride in his lack of intricacy and nuance within the squared circle, although I must mention that he grew leaps and bounds over his time in ACW, no matter how much he tried to disguise the fact.
Senator: Our feud was legendary in that we both pushed ourselves beyond our limits, and pushed each other to a new level of intensity. He brought me back into the industry when I wanted nothing more than to focus on politics. He had no qualms about dropping a steel cage on my head or throwing me through said cage. If I made one wrong step against him, he would land a shot that I would feel for weeks, if not months. In fact, I remember he once sent me straight to the hospital, where he then proceeded to torment me, which in turn was payback for a time when I did the same to him, albeit in a more refined manner, mind you.
Senator: Every time either of us thought we had the upper hand, we ended up paying for that miscalculation, and I can say that Thunderkiss is as drastically underestimated as a tactician as he is a wrestler, able to drive me mad with his machinations, able to get hitched to the former Chairman's daughter and to draw some of the highest ratings in ACW history. He also was the best marketer I have ever encountered. This man could sell you anything, from the most disgusting energy drink ever manufactured, to t-shirts, to bumper stickers, to items that I would not mention in front of a family audience. That alone could have made him an invaluable asset to a company, but to merely call Thunderkiss a commodity is to forget his fighting spirit, his remarkable skill on the microphone, or his unearthly charisma.
Senator: In the end, there are many reasons that Thunderkiss receives his Hall of Fame standing tonight. He chased his desires with a greater will than anyone in ACW history, his feats of strength will never be duplicated within the wrestling industry, and nobody else personified the role of the peoples' champion better than Thunderkiss, for better or worse, captured the imagination of the paying public, and became more than a mere mortal, filling the role of the mythical ubermench in ACW. Congratulations, Thunderkiss, as tough as it is for me to say, at your best, there was nobody who could hope to slow you down, let alone to stand in your path, and it is for that which you have been inducted as an inaugural member in the ACW Hall of Fame.

*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.*

Chris: Ladies and Gentleman, though I was not around during the time, the stories of our next inductee are legendary. From nearly getting removed from ACW on three separate occasions, to his constant pestering of the administration Dan White was needless to say a handful in the early days of this company.
*The Dan White supporters in the crowd go beserk, a slight cheer already beginning for their idol.*
Chris: That said however, as ACW grew, so did Dan. He matured from the snot nosed hooligan many had him cast to be, to a man who many rookies respective and sought consol in. He was always someone who was willing to listen to an idea on whatever you had and give you honest feedback, he was someone who was willing…admittedly so, to head to the pub for a pint or nine and then engage in some of the most demeaning banter one could possibly here.
*There’s a slight pause as Chris looks out at the crowd before his sight finally rests on Dan White*
Chris: Though Dan and I never got to truly battle the way most of these other men and women did, I can say without a shadow of a doubt that Dan White is one of the men who has most influenced me in ACW here. His passion for the business, his drive to succeed and his willingness to take on any battle to reach it to the top, serves an inspiration to all, and a reason why he is a member of ACW’s first hall of fame class.
Dan White everybody.
*With that Chris steps away from the podium and joins the applause as Dan White makes his way to the stage.*

*Dan White reaches the podium and looks out at the crowd, dressed to the nines this evening*
Dan: Hi there.
I have spent many a year with ACW. I was there when it was just 2 months old, and when I really got insulted that in late 2004 I couldn't win the World Title.
Fast forward four years and that was still the case!
*He pauses a moment, clearing his throat slightly, holding back the emotions.*
Dan: I may have been one of the longest lasting members of the roster to win the World title but when I did, I truly treasured it. The Senator was a massive part of me winning so I credit him wholeheartedly, but at the same time I really felt it came from the soul. I don't want to make literal comparisons but I felt it was almost like Benoit: "I'd gone so near, would I ever go so far," that sort of thing.
*He looks out at the crowd and nods his head*
Dan: I really value being a member of ACW's Hall of Fame and I promise you that although lately I have selectively been inactive, I will return. Do not worry about that!
Thank you, thank you all.
*With that, Dan steps away from the podium to a round of applause.*

*BK London steps up to the podium*
BK London: Ladies and Gentleman, while I feel proud to be in the esteemed bunch this evening being inducted into the ACW Hall of Fame - I also feel priveleged to be inducting this next member into this prestigous class. We've been through some of the most vicious battles ever seen in ACW and I've got some of the stiffest shots I've ever been given from this man. I've wrestled in him steel cages, street fights, houses, and even when he was just teetering on his last ounce of sobrierty after a few too many coronas - and each match, I can easily say was freakin awesome! And I think the fans enjoyed every second of it, am I right?
*There are a huge amount cheers throughout the auditorium for that last statement, and those die hard fans that are seated up in the higher level know exactly what BK London is talking about.*
BK London: This is a man, who gave me a chance in ACW when most other main eventers wouldn't at the time and showed that I could be trusted in the ring and trusted backstage. Despite me being the problem child in the back, he stuck with me and he stuck up for me because he knew of what I was capable of here in ACW, he knew that given the chance I could be one of the main players in this company - and he was right. But it wasn't just me he gave the rub to, but other wrestlers such as TNT, such as Scott Andrews, and Torak. Victor had no problem putting us over because he believed in the future of the business and he knew that one day, they would be the one carrying this company and one day he would have to step back. And he honestly taught me to do that, and while it was a bit delayed, I can easily say that after tomorrow night - I'm done.
*Massive boos from the crowd. "PLEASE DON'T GO! PLEASE DON'T GO!" chants echo throughout the auditorium.*
BK London: You're too kind, but it's time for me to leave - but this moment isn't about me right now, it's about Victor. And there were several times I wanted Victor to come back to give me one more match, and before Omega Effect V - he turned it down every time! I mean, there are only so many times you can put us against one another before it starts getting old. I mean we fought so many times against one another on opposite sides of the ring, and hell - even as a team called Affirmative Action, that we'd run through everything possible. We've fought in exploding houses and he even threw me off a bridge - OFF a bridge. But if I were given a chance to go at it with him one more time, if I ever picked up the phone and he was on the other side and said, "You want to go at it one more time partner?" - I'd do it all over again.
*London shoots Latino a smile, and Latino returns the favor as the crowd applauds and cheers.*
ONE. MORE. MATCH!
ONE. MORE. MATCH!
ONE. MORE. MATCH!
BK London: While that remains to be seen, many people talk of me as, Mr. ACW. As someone who has thorougly helped this company - but the real Mr. ACW is Latino right behind me. He truly is one of the founding fathers of this company and I am more than proud to induct him into the ACW Hall of Fame. Ladies and Gentlemen, get on your feet, raise your glasses, and get ready to give it up for the man who put ACW on the map - Victor! Latino! Laureano!

*Latino makes his way to the podium with a round of applause. He's dressed in a sharply pressed suit with a hall of fame pin on the lapel.
Latino: Well it looks like it finally happened.. Not me winning this award but this actual ceremony. What's it been...20 years in the making? Oh well better late than never. If you don't mind I'm going to do a bit of shooting right now.
* Latino pauses to collect his thoughts. Too many memories to count are now rushing through his mind. A few seconds go by as he has to stop himself...almost shaking away the cobwebs. *
Latino: Seriously I have to say this is great. I have been around for while...so much so I almost feel like a relic in this company. There have been so many people, good and bad, that have helped make this company what it is today. I can't think of ACW without thinking about the guys like Yoko, Ridley, Hunter, TNT, BK, Red, Atomic, Senator, Kudo, and many more. I could literally go days talking about everyone that made this fed bigger than I ever dreamed.
If anyone would have asked me if ACW would still be around today when we first started this deal I would have laughed in your face. You see ACW was made in whim. A few angry members felt they could do better and asked for my consultation....and the rest is history. So to that I wish Ginger, WCW98 and Kain could be here with me.
* Latino motions to leave as the crowd starts to clap. He stops and turns around as if one last thought popped into his head. *
Latino: The one last thing I want say is that it was never about winning for me. I never cared about that. I always cared about telling a great story and if that meant I lost then let's do it. That's why you saw me lose more than win. In the end both people came out better for it. So with saying that I want to leave you with one last message. Have fun and make that more important than disagreements or win/loss records. At the end of the day you're only going to care about if you're having fun anyways.
Thank you for memories.
* Latino finally exits the stage as he wipes a tear from his eyes. He looks back at crowd once more and then walks back into the shadows. *

*Sarin Rossi stands at the podium*
'Genius' is not a word I use lightly. However, anyone would be hard pressed to discern a more appropriate term to describe this inductee. She excels beyond our limited standards of 'success' without recourse to her ego.
A genius accomplishes her goals with a certain undefinable grace. This intrepid young girl left her homeland on a bet and a dream and a croquet mallet slung over her shoulder. A few months later, she emerged, nearly unrecognizable, at the top of an industry dominated by men thrice her size. She beat them without breaking a sweat.
A genius trumps adversity irregardless of the probability of failure. During her first title reign, an attempt on her life steeled her nerves, and with the odds stacked against her, she exorcised one of ACW's most dangerous enemies from the hallowed halls of its arena. Indeed, ACW owes its survival to this indomitable bastion.
A genius rebounds from loss, more resilient and deadly than ever. Though she suffered a near fatal nose injury against a sadistic behemoth, a demonic possession from her darker beginnings, and cruel rejections from her loved ones, she endured all of these hardships time and time again to become the most decorated and most venerated wrestler in this federation's honored history.
A genius is more than the sum of her achievements. This inductee has remained a devoted friend, sister, daughter, and lover to the many people blessed to benefit from the sheer joy of her company. She is ACW's guardian and friend, bad ass extraordinaire, and is solely responsible for introducing BK London to a tampon's disquieting functional range.
A genius requires no introduction. She is a two-time ACW World Champion, the longest reigning World Champion, the youngest World Champion, a two-time Lightweight Champion, a Diva Champion, a two-time ACW Tag Team Champion, the longest reigning Tag Team Champion, she is ACW's Sexiest Diva, and if you gave me an extra twenty minutes I could wax on rhapsodically.
She is the love of my life, the reason why I'm standing here today--ladies and gentlemen, I give you: Yoko Satoshi!

*Yoko strolls to the podium, lowers the microphone and begins to speak*
Yoko in the Hall Of Fame.
It was inevitable, really. One need only look at the accomplishments listed in my profile to see why.
But it isn't all glory. My body has been broken beyond repair in the last six years. Not Yoko's, mine. I have confined to a bed for three years now, able to move only one finger to type with. I put ACW before my friends, family, and my own health, and I've paid for it.
That makes this award very bittersweet for me.
This is why ACW can never die. It's not a hobby for me. I actually matter here. This is my life. This is my home. This is my legacy.
My thanks go to no individuals, but to every member past and present.
You are my family.
Thank you.
*With that, Yoko steps aside to a resounding decor of applause.*

Latino: I'm here to induct one of the best people I have ever know in this field...Atomic Kitsune. She has been my friend and confident as we both went on this crazy ride together. We looked out for one another and were one another's life support. I don't know how I would have lasted as long as I did without her and I know I'm not the only one that feels that way.
* A slight cheer emerges from the crowd that brings a smile to Latino's face. He waits a few seconds before he continues on with his introduction. *
Latino: Atomic constantly raised the bar when it came to matches and segments. We worked together so much that we knew each other's characters inside and out. It was like we knew what the other person would say and how they would say it. I knew then that we had reached a close bond and trust. It was eerie but at the same time comforting.
I remember once we had story line that caused our characters to break up to go our singles route. This was when she feuded with Ridley and if you didn't see it then you missed out. This was epic. I remember being so jealous because I couldn't do a story line that great. That was how Atomic did her story lines. She put all of herself into it and it showed.
* Latino pauses as everyone can tell the pride in his face. He lets out that signature smile and finishes up his introduction. *
Latino: But enough of my talking. Let's get to business. There is not one person who deserves this more than her. So, please welcome to the stage Alicia "Atomic" Kitsune!
*Latino steps to the side as the matriarch of ACW makes her way to the stand.*

*Atomic Kitsune strolls up to the podium, dressed in an elegant strapless, floor length dress.*
AK: Ladies and gentleman, it is an honor to be up here at this moment, addressing all of you. For the past seven years, ACW has been our home. Over that point it seems as if every day we’ve ran a show, built not on family values, but pure, unbridled entertainment. We’ve strived to provide something for each and everyone of you, something that you can be proud to say you watch and judging by that success, we have done that.
*There’s a cheer from the crowd, a few whistles at AK who blushes slightly and a small chant of one more match beginning as well.*
AK: Yet without the people we honor tonight, that would not be possible. We would not be here seven years later without their contributions and I for one, would like to take this opportunity to express my sincerest thanks to all of them. To BK London, you were always their to make sure things ran smoothly. You were Mr. ACW for the past five years, and for that we are all thankful. To Dan White, despite your shenanigans at our opening, you proved to be a man of great honor, respect and an important contributor to ACW. You will always be someone I’ll share a pint with. To Sarin and Yoko, two of the most dominant wrestlers to ever grace our company, you followed the path given to you and showed that women can do just as much as men in the ring. Your elegance in the ring was refreshing in contrast to the brute force of sweaty men grappling each other. To Thunderkiss, I will always be a card carrying member of the Kiss Army, despite any tiffs we might have had. To G-Unit, you always drew a chuckle from me and your ability in the ring was nothing to laugh at.
And finally, to my dearest Latino, words can not express what you have done for me. Without you, there would not only be this night, but also me here. You paved a way for everyone to follow and for that, we can never repay you.
*AK, unlike the macho men that had preceded her, has no problems letting the tears roll down her face.*
AK: To each and everyone of you who ever tuned into a program, thank you. To all our wrestlers throughout the years, you have my sincerest thanks. To those who are yet to come, learn from our mistakes and improve on our successes, this company deserves the best and I know it is in competent hands.
Though we may bid adieu, never are you all far from my heart.
Thank you.
*With that, AK steps aside and smiles out at the crowd*
