On SOOL's 2 Year Anniversary
October 15th, 2011
*The SOOL Hall of Fame Ceremony begins with Dana White standing at the podium and he quickly begins to speak.*
Dana White: Ladies and gentlemen, I'd like to welcome you to the prestigious, SOOL Hall of Fame induction Ceremony. Now first things first, I want to make an unfortunate announcement, as it has been discovered tonight, that Matt Hardy/Crow hellspider will not be joining us tonight. I'll be accepting this honor on his behalf and hopefully we will hear from him in his own words some time in the near future. With that said, I think it's time to get things started so let's induct our first member to the SOOL Hall of Fame. One of SOOL's most earliest stand outs, so will you all please join me in turning our attention to the screen.
*Dana White turns to the screen as the first video package begins to play.*

Today, I am here to induct a good friend of mine. Someone who has had both highs and lows here in SOOL. He has been on top of the world and beyond. Of course, I am talking about the Charismatic Enigma, Jeff Nero Hardy. Jeff has had triumphant moments in his career, such as becoming one half of the first ever SOOL Tag team Champions alongside his brother Matt. Jeff and Matt reigned supreme in the tag team division in the early days of SOOL, until they were defeated by the Motor City Machine Guns in a Ladder Match, which resulted in the disbandment of The Hardy's. From that point forward, Jeff Hardy went on to have a solo career in SOOL.
He had moved onto bigger and better things. Jeff competed at and won SOOL's first ever Royal Rumble, after he eliminated his own brother, Matt Hardy. In his career, he has faced the likes of CM Punk, Triple H and Shawn Michaels. Jeff may never have been World Heavyweight Champion, but he will be known as a champion now and that's why it gives me great pleasure to induct Jeff Hardy/RabbitRun31 into the SOOL Hall of Fame Class of 2011!

[RabbitRun31/Jeff Hardy]
Wow, Thank you. This is unbelievable. What an honor it is to be inducted in this year’s Hall Of Fame. It's been an epic journey from Day 1. Sometimes I say, wow it's really been 2 years SOOL has been around.
Now in my career, if you were to ask me “what were your favorite matches” I would say some of my greatest matches were against a Legend in his own right, Shawn Michaels. Every time we were in the square circle, myself and HBK put on a classic showdown. Moving right along, who remembers when Matt and I won the world Tag Team Championships? In my opinion, it was a match that will never be forgotten. We were the first Tag Team Champions in SOOL History. You have no idea how it felt to win those tag titles. Matt and I were on top of the world until we lost the straps in a classic ladder match.
After losing the Tag Team Championships, I decided to take my career into another direction as I went solo. It was the right thing to do. So when SOOL’s very first Royal Rumble came along, it was time to shine and that’s exactly what I did. I won the Royal Rumble. I was on my way to headline the very first WrestleMania and when that opportunity came, I blew it. In my career, I was hoping to accomplish one more thing and that is winning the World Heavyweight Championship. But who says it’s too late? In closing, I just want to thank everyone who made this all possible. If it wasn’t for you guys, I wouldn’t be standing here today. Thank You.

When Davey Richards first walked through the doors of the SOOL Headquarters to put pen to paper on a SOOL contract, I knew it was a great signing by Vince McMahon. A great brawler, grappler, submission artist and now, a great friend. Born on March 1, 1983, Wesley David Richards was born. During his time at high school Davey began amateur wrestling. This was the precursor to his finely polished grappling skills in which assisted him in becoming one of the greatest in the squared circle today.
Beginning his career at a small Washington based independent company, Davey quickly moved up the ranks to bigger and better things. Moving firstly to Pro Wrestling Guerrilla, and then to Ring of Honor. Having been successful in every company he wrestled in, Davey strived to be ‘The Best in the World’. Following this, he began to tour Japan with New Japan Pro Wrestling. Having several successful overseas tours to Japan, Davey decided it was time to reach the top. Reaching the top was not going to be easy work.
A few years had passed and Davey was feeling dejected with the Wrestling Business. Maybe it was time to quit? His phone rang. It was Vince personally calling. It was his time. On February 4th 2010, Davey Richards signed a contract with SOOL. The first thing I liked about the man was his passion for the business. Win or loss, he didn’t care. It was just a learning curve on his way to the top. Davey knew that in order to become competitive in this organisation, he would have to master different skills. This was going to be a harder challenge compared to the minor leagues that Davey had dominated prior to being signed by SOOL. Learning new methods to defeat opponents such as his deadly Cloverleaf submission finisher, Davey utilised every single method he could in order to win here in SOOL.
I know Davey incredibly well. We had great chemistry together in the ring. We had styles of wrestling which complimented each others and this made both of us respect one another. The SOOL booking team realised this and used us together in many matches due to them always being top-class. After working together so much, we began to train together both teaching each other holds and maneuvers. We were well matched opponents and the crowd seemed to love our matches. However, Davey wasn’t in this business to make friends. Davey wanted the glory too. Winning the SOOL Television Title was his first piece of gold here in SOOL and not his last. However, Davey has always striven for the illusive SOOL Championship. Although Davey has never won this, he has been agonizingly close to it having competed for it several times to no avail.
Davey is my best friend here in SOOL and it is an honour for me to induct him into the SOOL Hall of Fame Class of 2011. However, what does the future hold for Davey? I am certain it’s full of exciting matches and the prestigious SOOL Championship. And when you win it buddy, I’ll be coming for it! In your words, ‘The Hunt is on!’ Ladies and Gentlemen, I am delighted to introduce, my good friend, ‘The American Wolf’ Davey Richards!

**A big round of applause is heard in tonight's venue when Jiggas5585 name was announced. Jiggas5585 who has been a dedicated member of SOOL since February 2010. Jiggas5585 aka Davey Richards appears from around the curtain on stage with even louder applause from fans, other members, and wrestling legends. Murphy is seen standing in the crowd laughing and booing Jiggas5585 for a bit of humour then starts a little chanting of "England,England, England". Jiggas5585 turns and looks at Murphy and does a salute to his fellow countryman. Jiggas5585 shakes Mark's aka Christian hand and even give a man hug to his long time buddy in SOOL. Jiggas5585 approaches the microphones on the podium with a big grin on his face. He looks around as the crowd start to settle down and Jiggas aka Davey signals that he is ready to talk.**
[Jiggas5585/Davey Richards]
Thank you, thank you very much for your kindness. I really cannot believe this is actually happening, I mean yeah I know I was being inducted into the SOOL Hall of Fame, but until now it didn't seem like reality. I would like to start by thanking everyone who is a fan of mine and I don't mean just Davey Richards in SOOL but Jiggas5585/John Jones a member on this community in SOOL. I hope not too bore you all too much with my speech as I know I can go on a bit. I am going to start by explaining how I became a member of SOOL, so here we go.
Back in 2010 as early as January, I found myself a fan of wrestling once more. I was a big fan during the 90's but then seemed to of lost interest. The reason I became a fan once more is because of playing Smackdown vs Raw 2010. I picked it up and played it to high heaven and got bored of it but I thought that I did not want just let it gather dust on the shelf and be a waste of £30, I think that was the price I bought it at. I searched on the always reliable Google and came across something we all know and love as SOOL. Smackdown vs Raw Official Online League. I had a look around and thought this could get a few more months of enjoyment out of the game. I spoke to a few people on the chatbox where I made a few good friends, some that are not here today. I'm hoping that this does not get me in trouble but the first two people I spoke to and encouraged me to joined were Adam and Alan. They treated me not just like some noob who hadn't a clue, they treated me like a new member should feel and that's welcomed.
Another person who I spoke to first and was one of my first matches against was Hellsonlychild aka Matt Hardy. I had a terrible match but he gave me some pointers how to get better and even encouraged me to stay when I had moments where I felt like quitting. I started the league as R-truth because well I didn't have a goddamn clue who to be. I didn't really do well with him but I gained a little recognition and became the first ever TV champ.
Anyway that's how I started in SOOL and I started off terrible at promos, at competing and to be honest I nearly quit on many occasions but was persuaded to stay by 3 of the guys I already mentioned but also one of my buddies I made as well the guy standing next to me EZTMARK aka Christian. Me and him have had so many matches in our time in SOOL we have got to know each other well in the ring. We had great matches when I was Truth and when I was Pope but when I decided with Davey that's when our matches became great. So I had a few flash in the pan moments at the start of my SOOL career with Truth and Pope but that was nothing, I finally picked up someone who I don't think I will ever change and that person is Davey Richards. I picked up Davey Richards because of what I seen of him in Ring of Honor and decided I could do my own thing with him.
OK so Davey Richards is someone I have stayed with for over a year now and like I said I don't think I ever will swapped because for a couple of reasons. I enjoy being Davey and where I am going with him and the people who enjoy me playing as Davey. I know that there are people want Davey to win the World Title and maybe one day it will happen because I won't give up until I do so. I made more friends over the time in SOOL since being Davey Richards. HBK/Mark I know you as HBK and as of recently months I have spoke to you more and more and I enjoy our conversations and I like to thank you for that and bringing this league to everyone of us and giving me a hobby that I can enjoy for many years to come I hope. I also like to mention a few other people. John Cena aka Ed you are another guy here who I consider cool and great to chat to even if it mostly on the chatbox but you do a great job here. I will say a few more names in just a second but I think I should maybe start to close this up as well, I don't wanna bore you all too much and give the others time to talk. Tonight I thank you for all coming out and supporting me here tonight and when I compete in that ring and keep an eye on Davey because good things will be coming soon I am sure. I would like to thank HBK and all the staff who have given me chances after chances not just at the World Title scene but just in the main event scene in general.
SOOL is a great league, a great community and a group of great people and I glad that I am apart of it and I once again like to say how happy I am one of the first to be inducted in the Hall of Fame here in SOOL and be part of SOOL history forever. I look around and I see faces that will be future Hall of Famer's, I look around and I see people who I enjoy playing with, get your minds out of the gutters because I mean in SOOL not in that way you dirty people, haha. So before I leave a few shout outs to people who I have come across in my time in SOOL.
Murphy, you are a fellow Englishman and for that you get a mention, but seriously you’re a funny fella and a good player here in SOOL.
Mr Anderson aka ?? I don't know your real name so I just call you by who you play as or maybe as an asshole??Nah seriously your another cool person here is SOOL and have had great matches with you, like Dat TLC match the other night was fun as hell.
CM Punk aka Zandigg, We never really spoke that much, but we had occasions and I alway got along with you, I always liked to speak to you even if it was only on the chatbox.
Brandon my tag partner err yeah, nah just joking your cool and always good to partner with you even if you rarely win but that something I'm use to haha.
EZTMark aka Christian, One of the original people I use to talk to and well like I mentioned before how many matches we had buddy?I think I've lost count but that Best of 5 was great and I hope you come back soon so we can have some more great matches.
There are a few others I have got to know and enjoy talking to them during my time at SOOL some that are no longer with SOOL but they were still part of my great experience in SOOL, I thank you guys. Thank everyone who likes Davey Richards and I hope you continue to watch what I have to offer because I will not give up and I will never stop doing something I enjoy plus I got to win the World title before I will even consider. So once again probably for the thousandth time Thank you and enjoy your evening..

Red Skull Demon Inducted by Oreo
*Alberto Del Rio’s music lightly plays in the background as he walks onto the stage with a smile on his face. He will be inducting the next member into the Hall of Fame Class of 2011.*
[Oreo/Alberto Del Rio]
My name is Alberto Del Rio, but of course you already knew that. But tonight, it is not about me. Tonight is about history, but more importantly about the men that made history. When I think of history here in SOOL, one man’s name come to mind. That man’s name is John Cena. Now, John is not like any other competitor here in SOOL. At times he tells a few jokes here an there, but when he’s in the ring he is the most serious person. This is because he has the heart and passion for this business.
*The audience starts to clap.*
John started out in SOOL in May of 2010 and since then he has made an impact unlike anyone else. From winning his debut match against the notorious Chris Jericho to retaining his title in the main event of Wrestlemania 2, he would then go on to defeat the Undertaker at Victory Road, winning his second world title. He has had many other memorable moments, like beating the ‘Rated R Superstar’ Edge at the Lockdown PPV and who can forget his heated rivalry with the tag team known as the Second City Saints. John’s most recent accomplishment was defeating Kurt Angle to win the United States Championship.
*The audience begins clapping and we hear a few fans yell John's name.*
Ladies and Gentlemen, please welcome a man that is respected all across the SOOL universe not only for being as entertaining as he is, but for the kindness that he has shown to is peers and most importantly all of you, a man that lives under the words hustle, loyalty, and respect. It is with great honor that I introduce to you…John Cena!

**Everyone in attendance is unglued from their seats as The Champ's theme music begins to play over the PA System
Some notable Superstars in the crowd such as Mr. Anderson and Wade Barrett don't look impressed. Their expressions are not interpreted enough to say if they just don't like John Cena or if it's for the fact that they have to sit next to one another due to an error in seating charts.
Be that as it may, as soon as John Cena appears...the crowd goes absolutely crazy. He steps onto the staging area as a enormous "Cena!, Cena!, Cena!" chant begins. Kurt Angle & Alberto Del Rio become involved with the crowd as they jokingly respond to the fans by starting a "Cena Sucks!" chant which many other fans follow in suit with. The duel chants go back and forth, while John Cena laughs it off, obviously showing that's he having a good time tonight. He walks over to the podium ready to deliver his speech as he glances back at Alberto Del Rio who gives him a wink followed by a smile. After a few minutes, the crowd finally dies down as Cena begins to talk.**
[Red Skull Demon/John Cena]
First things first, I just want to start by saying it sure is a Hell of a feeling to be recognized as a SOOL Hall of Famer. I mean so many greats, and twice as many not so greats have come and gone over the span of SOOL’s two year history, so for me to be elected as one of the best to ever be a part of SOOL is extraordinary. Back when I first started, if you would have told me that I’d be in SOOL for over a year as John Cena and would be recognized as a Hall of Famer, I would have laughed out loud and simply thought you were a dumb-dumb. I knew I had the work ethic to do well here but wasn’t sure if I had the skill and dedication to succeed here. It’s safe for me to say that I have far exceeded my expectations and I have done more here than I thought was even possible for me.
Within my first few matches I made people take notice with my activeness, if you will and stringing up some impressive wins. My write ups were good and well received and my promos always seemed to catch people’s attention. Then I gained the quick notoriety in SOOL and found myself in regarded as one of the more relevant members of SOOL. It was never my intention to get to that status and personally my only real goal here in SOOL was to win the World Heavyweight Championship at least once. Coincidentally enough, to this day I became a 2 time World Heavyweight Champion and I still can’t believe it.
Yes I know these leagues should be about fun, and hey they are, but let’s not kid ourselves, we all know that a big part of the fun comes from the thriving competition that makes SOOL what it is today. However, after winning the World’s title, I knew I had accomplished the main goal I had set from the moment I joined, so then everything else from then on was just going to be about fun for me. Like most members of SOOL, I’ve had my ups and downs but I regret absolutely nothing. I’ve held countless championships, been in great feuds and have met some good people in my time here.
I mean I can’t say that I have the overwhelming likability of Jiggas, but I feel confident in saying that I was on good terms with mostly everyone I’ve encountered. I’m not naïve as I know there are those who dislike me but they know who they are and well in true Cena fashion, I’ll say that I am not concerned with them and that I will rise above hate. I am concerned with what I have done here and what I will be remembered for because that’s just who I am and what I do. I presented myself to this league and those who took part in it as best I could and I don’t regret it. All I can do is appreciate those that I’ve gotten along with and move on.
Now in closing, it’s kind of surreal as I never expected that I would be a part of the SOOL Hall of Fame because I just wasn’t sure if I was ready to join that class of SOOL greats. As of right now, I don’t know where my SOOL career stands and to be honest I just don’t know if I can remain as active. However, be that as it may, I couldn’t be more proud to take the recognition that is being bestowed upon me here today. It’s never been my job to critique my own work but if this is what you guys think I deserve than I guess it’s only fitting for me to think and say that I did a damn good job overall in my time here. In closing, I don’t know if this could be the closing of my SOOL career, even though I am proud to be the current United States Champion, but all I would have left to say is… Thank You.
First things first, I just want to start by saying it sure is a Hell of a feeling to be recognized as a SOOL Hall of Famer. I mean so many greats, and twice as many not so greats have come and gone over the span of SOOL’s two year history, so for me to be elected as one of the best to ever be a part of SOOL is extraordinary. Back when I first started, if you would have told me that I’d be in SOOL for over a year as John Cena and would be recognized as a Hall of Famer, I would have laughed out loud and simply thought you were a dumb-dumb. I knew I had the work ethic to do well here but wasn’t sure if I had the skill and dedication to succeed here. It’s safe for me to say that I have far exceeded my expectations and I have done more here than I thought was even possible for me.
Within my first few matches I made people take notice with my activeness, if you will and stringing up some impressive wins. My write ups were good and well received and my promos always seemed to catch people’s attention. Then I gained the quick notoriety in SOOL and found myself in regarded as one of the more relevant members of SOOL. It was never my intention to get to that status and personally my only real goal here in SOOL was to win the World Heavyweight Championship at least once. Coincidentally enough, to this day I became a 2 time World Heavyweight Champion and I still can’t believe it.
Yes I know these leagues should be about fun, and hey they are, but let’s not kid ourselves, we all know that a big part of the fun comes from the thriving competition that makes SOOL what it is today. However, after winning the World’s title, I knew I had accomplished the main goal I had set from the moment I joined, so then everything else from then on was just going to be about fun for me. Like most members of SOOL, I’ve had my ups and downs but I regret absolutely nothing. I’ve held countless championships, been in great feuds and have met some good people in my time here.
I mean I can’t say that I have the overwhelming likability of Jiggas, but I feel confident in saying that I was on good terms with mostly everyone I’ve encountered. I’m not naïve as I know there are those who dislike me but they know who they are and well in true Cena fashion, I’ll say that I am not concerned with them and that I will rise above hate. I am concerned with what I have done here and what I will be remembered for because that’s just who I am and what I do. I presented myself to this league and those who took part in it as best I could and I don’t regret it. All I can do is appreciate those that I’ve gotten along with and move on.
Now in closing, it’s kind of surreal as I never expected that I would be a part of the SOOL Hall of Fame because I just wasn’t sure if I was ready to join that class of SOOL greats. As of right now, I don’t know where my SOOL career stands and to be honest I just don’t know if I can remain as active.

Bow Down to HBK Inducted by MKScorpion04
**The fans and all of the Superstars who are in attendance this evening rise to their feet in anticipation of his arrival as the theme music of "The Heartbreak Kid" Shawn Michaels explodes over the PA System.
As Shawn Michaels steps through the curtains, he receives a near ear-defining response as he walks onto the stage. A massive "HBK!, HBK!, HBK!, HBK!, HBK! chant erupts as he acknowledges everyone in the audience. HBK shakes the hand of Kurt Angle and gives him a hug before he makes his way to the podium ready to deliver his speech. After a few minutes of everyone showing Shawn Michaels their undying respects, everyone takes their seat as he begins to speak.**
[Bow Down to HBK/Shawn Michaels]
Thank you all very much. First & foremost, I would like to say that I really don’t know what to say…And that’s because in times like these, it’s truly hard to find and even more so, express, just the right words on how I feel about this night. So rather than trying to make this speech as good as it can possibly be, I will wing it and say whatever comes natural to me. I won’t sit here and bore you with a history lesson of my career in SOOL as Shawn Michaels because through all of my rights and wrongs…I know one thing is for sure and that’s me being here tonight, with a well deserving class of inductees, tells not only me but everyone in general… that at least I did something right.
I always knew from day one that SOOL would be a success…but as I stand before you today as we celebrate our 2 year anniversary here tonight, this certainly exceeds all of my original expectations. I never once envisioned that one day, we would accomplish as much in terms of history, as we reach the realization of just how far we’ve really come from our early humbled beginnings. For that, I not only thank all of tonight’s inductees but everyone who has made SOOL possible. Without SOOL, I would have never proudly carried around the nickname of HBK and more importantly…I would have never gotten the opportunity to meet all of the good friends I have made during my time here.
Needless to say, I owe an endless amount of gratitude to many individuals. However, this is a 2 hour broadcast and I don’t think you all came here tonight to watch me attempt to recite a novel of words so I’ll keep it as short and sweet as I can. When I think about my more memorable matches and feuds in SOOL, one name immediately comes to mind. Some of you may remember this man as the center of controversy who “wreaked havoc” because of his opinionated mind and the way he portrayed himself around others. In more recent times, he has taken SOOL’s Intercontinental Championship after he defeated Mr. Anderson at Summerslam, and has been M.I.A. ever since. Many are speculating what will become of the title and my answer to that is simple, time will only tell. As you may have guessed it by now, I could only be talking about CM Punk otherwise known as Zandigg, two names for which he is recognized by. Since we first spoke to each other two years ago, I quickly considered this man, Dustin…my best friend in SOOL. He has a personality all his own and that’s what I truly admire the most about him. The matches and year long feud I had with Zandigg are second to none. I truthfully feel that it will be a difficult feat for anyone to top or tell the kind of lengthy but unforgettable story that we did through our words and encounters together. The fact of the matter is, until you really get to know him, nobody will ever know the real CM Punk. Zandigg is a cool, very down to earth kind of guy who I will always have everlasting respect for. I only wish that he was by my side tonight to see me inducted into the SOOL Hall of Fame. Hope to see you back very soon, buddy.
In my book, there are two individuals who deserve all the credit in the world and those men are Adam and Red. Both of you played a vital role in the early days of SOOL which elevated my career to new heights as my feud with CM Punk was going full circle. You gave SOOL the spark of life that it needed and helped build the foundation that it sits on today. Combined with well spirited attitudes and long enduring commitment, you two along with a few other SOOL Originals, are what revolutionized SOOL and if it wasn’t for your efforts, we may not have been as successful as we were. Despite the reasons which distant us today, I just want to say that I have and will always carry the up-most respect for the two of you and I only wish the you both the very best in whatever you set your sights on.
There are a few other people I would like to show my appreciation for. As of October 15th, 2011, two of my fellow inductees here tonight, Jiggas5585 and Red Skull Demon, better known to the world as Davey Richards and John Cena, are still active and just as passionate about SOOL today as they were when they first burst onto the scene. Davey, you’ve always presented yourself as an honest man who’s always had an admirable maturity level and a great sense of loyalty. I find it nothing short of incredible that you are still able to balance two leagues after all of this time while taking on the challenges of life. I consider you a friend and in terms of what you have given SOOL, you are one of the best if not THE best member SOOL has ever seen. You should be proud of everything you’ve done because I know I can speak for the mass majority here when I say, we sure are.
Now, if it was ever a true testament to someone’s desire to remain with SOOL through thick and thin, another name that comes to my mind is Red Skull Demon. This man signed with SOOL, the day of an infamous incident, which saw all hell break loose as many members defected to a fairly new league known as NLW. Being a witness to all of the ensuing drama which was unfolding that day was this man’s first impression of SOOL. Nine times out of 10, especially in this case, an incident of this magnitude would have persuaded someone easily enough to just leave right there and then…but for Red Skull Demon, he proved the odds wrong. Over the past year and a half, he has shown his complete support for SOOL as he’s remained both true and loyal, in spite of any circumstances. He represents the real definition of Hustle, Loyalty and Respect which is why I always thought he defined the name of John Cena perfectly. What you all need to appreciate is that this man gives you everything he has in terms of work ethics. He not only does his best to ensure that SOOL succeeds but that all of you do as well. I consider him a great friend and I will always hold him in the highest regard, through and through.
I had hoped that I could have given you all a well-expressed speech about everyone, but due to time restraints and the amount of people I’d want to thank and talk about, this will have to be a little briefer. I would like to thank MKScorpion, otherwise known as Kurt Angle in this day and age, for the wonderful introduction. I truly appreciate it. I consider you a good friend who has an immense amount of talent not only in voice acting but in any other field you choose to apply yourself to as well. I always believed you did phenomenally well with Keeping it Classy and the current feature of SOOL News. In my opinion, you have a lot to offer and whatever you bring to the table always seems to turn out good. You are one of a kind and one of the coolest son of a gun’s I have ever met in SOOL.
There are a few other people I'd like to acknowledge at this time. EZT Mark, who you all know as Christian, is just two months shy from being with SOOL for two years, which I personally consider an astounding feat. Taking that into account, it would imply that he has outlasted roughly 99% of anyone who's ever joined this league. In my opinion, he's a man who's loyalty and commitment never ceases to exist. He is one of the few SOOL Originals who are still around today and I'm incredibly proud to call him a friend. He truthfully deserves all of this honor and then some, here tonight.
I would also like to mention the names of Murphy who currently plays as Wade Barrett and BitsfromtheHong who is well known for his on-going stint as Mr. Anderson. You chaps have been with SOOL for well over a year now and it was during that time that I truly got to know the two of you. As history will explain it, when it comes to “CM Punk controversy”…some people will jump at the chance to label you two in the same manner. But that isn’t what jumps into my mind when I think of you two, well at least not first anyways. Much like Zandigg, you blokes have a unique personality and it’s because of that quality that I’m honored to call you my mates. Now don’t be mistaken by my words, as you know… I’m not British and I’m certainly not Scottish. I am merely expressing, in the only way that I can, the highest respects I hold for the both of you. I enjoy our entertaining, sometimes humorous, crude and occasionally obnoxious conversations together. But that isn’t a bad thing…that’s a good thing. And those are the memories I will always cherish.
With the remaining time I have left, there are a few more people I will mention. Thatstrange1, you had an incredible run here as Christopher Daniels that will not soon be forgotten. You were one of the best, if not the greatest, when it came to promos. In my eyes, you had an amazing gift with words that always had me captivated and wanting more. And even though we don't speak to one another anymore, which is unfortunate, you will always have my respect and friendship.
Oreo, Vice and NJ. Through history, as stories will tell, we have always had our ups and downs, however in recent times, it seems as though the past is now seemingly behind us and the future is looking bright. I appreciate everything you three have given us and I will continue to recognize your worth's. And despite our past differences, NJ, just know that I'm always here for you when you need anything. Without a doubt in my mind, I'm proud to call you all, my friends.
And on the basis of what they have given to SOOL, I figure it would only be right on this night to mention the guys from over at XWL. ET, Ash, Penguin, Alan, Gaz, Bang, Shuggz and of course Adam & Red. Although some of you like to rag on us for various things for your own personal agendas and amusement, be that as it may, I will still recognize you all tonight for the good memories you left us. For that, I sincerely thank you and wish you all the best.
I would like to thank everyone who has chosen to be wrapped up in the phenomenon that is SOOL. It's a real privilege and honor to me personally that you all have chosen to come here each and everyday and do what you enjoy doing. I figure it would only be fitting to thank a few more individuals who are among the current community in SOOL. I'd like to thank TakerBLD for the amazing match we had at WrestleMania II. It was truly a match for the ages and it will certainly go down in history. And in spite of what people may say about you when it comes to matches, just realize that there are a lot of critics in this world, and they can form their own opinions. What's my opinion? I think you're great.
Jimi Van Page. You've only been here for a few months, however, many of the guys in the back can attest to the fact that I've seen something in you from day one. The character of Bully Ray is one of my more favorites in recent times and your promos are really fantastic. If you keep up the good work, your future in SOOL will only get better.
X619Brandon619X and xHTAx Prophecy, currently recognized by the SOOL Universe as Brock Lesnar and Sheamus. In terms of matches, I think the two of you have deemed yourselves worthy enough to both be considered wonderful players. I believe that if either of you applied yourself just a bit more with promos that you could easily go wherever you want to go in SOOL. I enjoyed your run on Keeping it Classy and I hope to see much more from you both in the near future.
In closing, I would like to take a moment of my time to thank a few people who I have not yet mentioned but who at one time or another contributed to SOOL. Many thanks to Styles2010, Pero, Fallen, Kornage, StellarKroNiK, In9minds, MzLovely, Adamilius Hack, x fear x Barka, BLAIRPWNSALL, wwewarrior619, snip3r248, The G Devil, Suicide K1D and just for the hell of it, I'll even thank JustDavidLee. Thank you for all of your contributions. You all helped make this league what it is today and for that I give you my sincerest gratitude and thanks. Thank you very much.
Before I wrap up this up, I would like to give some words of encouragement to not only the new breed of SOOL but to anyone who is willing to listen. What you all need to be aware of is that while the foundation of SOOL was set down two years ago today, all of the building blocks were not. When you show up to do your scheduled matches and cut promos, you are making a difference where it counts and thus you are supporting that foundation. When it comes down to it, the choice is in your hands to whether or not you want to add another building block to that foundation. And it’s all that hard work, dedication and commitment that brought us together here tonight. And with that being said, we now come to the part where I say that it’s with great pleasure that I accept my place into the Hall of Fame, into a class for which I have the world of respect for. You are all worthy of tonight’s honor and I feel really privileged that I was given the opportunity to be a part of this.
And lastly, I think I’ll end my speech by answering a question which is probably on most people’s minds. And that question is, What does the future hold for Shawn Michaels? Now, I can't tell you if and I can't say when but I'll put it this way...like everything I’ve done in my career, always expect…the unexpected.
Thank you.
[Bow Down to HBK/Shawn Michaels]
