/* After a fantastic display from Chronic and Black Dragon, golden words cross the Titantron:
/* Cameras cut to the sold out Wachovia centre, and a burst of pyro erupts, as the cameras focus on a small plinth in the middle of a platform, stood in the middle of a ring without ropes. Around the ring, rather than the usual ‘ExWA’ logo, there are gold and black aprons hanging with the words ‘Hall of Fame’ emblazoned across them. Fred Elliot steps up the red stairs and stands before a sold out audience of competition winners from around the globe, and begins to speak. *\
Elliot: At this time, may I introduce your host for the evening…Norris Cole!
/* The entire arena stands as the Coronation Street theme tune hits, and ExWA bastion Norris Cole steps through the red curtain. People everywhere are crying. Roses are thrown to Norris and he picks them up, beaming at the reception he receives. Some people are so overwrought with emotion that they have to be reminded to breathe. Some people even faint in the moment. Norris makes his way to the plinth and looks around. All about the arena, people are chanting his name. It is perhaps the most raucous ovation in history. People are hanging so far from the rafters that gravity is being defied by not letting them fall. Norris has a local team’s shirt over his shoulder, and presents it to a member of the crowd at his random choosing. *\

/* The fan sits down and his jaw is hanging. Norris raises the microphone to his mouth, returning to the plinth. *\
Norris: It’s once…<br>

/* The reception is so overwhelming that Norris removes his spectacles and wipes a solitary tear from his right eye. The crowd is still chanting, and Norris has to literally ask them to stop before he can present the show. *\
Norris: I am so honoured…you people make this job what it is. I truly thank you. Now…As I was about to say. It’s once in a lifetime that nights like tonight come around. Nights when the work of all our superstars are honoured. Nights when one man will be inducted into eternity. One man will be chosen by the ExWA fans and given immortality as he is inducted into the ExWA hall of fame. This man will be our first ever inductee into the superstar wing. Now without further ado, please, hand me the envelope…<br>
/* Fred Elliot puts his hand in his pocket and pulls out a sausage. He looks distraught and throws it on the floor. He puts his hand back in and starts to unreel a whole reel of sausages. He goes red and shrugs at Norris. Norris tuts and suggests Elliot might try his other pocket. Elliot looks relieved as he pulls out the golden envelope from his pocket and hands it to Norris. *\
Norris: I should think so too. Honestly.
/* Norris opens the envelope and his eyes bulge. *\
Norris: And our first ever inductee…Vegito!
/* Video package for Vegito is shown, and during the show he walks down towards Norris, takes his trophy and shakes both Fred and Norris’s hands. The video finishes, and Norris speaks. *\
Norris: Vegito, congratulations, you have the floor…
Vegito: The Hall of Fame, to be remembered and be part of the elite. I had pride myself in being one of the very best at all. All that time I had come in and competed and finally got that Hall of Fame spot, something everyone shoots for. I know World Titles are something to shoot for but the point is this is the highest honor in any wrestling company. It means that you are indeed a legend and also were one of the very best at what you do. This is it, as far as my speech, not much in the way of the words to describe it. It's all a big thanks to those who have supported me from the beginning to now and still support me.
(I'm sure there's more 'cause of the JWA side, I'll let Ben take care of that and his speech, it'd be easier.)[/center]
