appears on the screen. A montage begins, depicting some of the longtime heroes of TKOW. The past, the present, and the future all merge in this display of color and sound.
The scene fades in within the walls of the Colosseum in Caesar's Palace. There's a dais on the stage with two long tables on either side covered in dark green cloth. HPWA and TKOW banners hang around the stage and the seats are buzzing as a virtual who's who of TKOW, along with friends and family, talk in hushed tones as the event begins.
T.H. Power walks out first and steps up on the dais to the podium. He motions for the gathered throng to take a seat and smiles, adjusting his dark green bowtie and cumberbun.
T.H. Power: Man I hate these things. Who here, in this room, RIGHT NOW, hates these things.
The crowds murmers grow to hoots, hollers, and a few catcalls.
T.H. Power: Chienne, I told you to wear a dress! A dress woman!
Green Weasel stands up; "Bitch can't fit into a dress like I can!!"
Oona and Tsunami hold their hands to their throats and make choking sounds while Xcutioner, Nathan Melvin, and Radikal wave dollar bills. Twiddler waves a fish, and Clench throws his leg.
T.H. Power: This is the glowing past of TKOW?
The crowd begins to calm down.
T.H. Power: I'm sure you're all eager to see how the TKOW Hall of Fame has been changed. We're reinducting straight down the line, making the Hall of Fame truly mean something. First, we'll bring up the four current members of the Hall of Fame.
Bruno!
Bloodmoney!
RAGE!
And Onslaught!
As T.H. announces the four men, each leaves their seat in the crowd and makes their way to the stage, shaking hands along the way. Phoenix walks out from behind the curtain carrying an oversized metal case, similar to the briefcase that T.H. Power normally walks around with. He sets it down on a stool and unlocks it, removing the top as Bruno makes it to the stage.
He takes a flat crystal out of the case. The crystal is shaped and etched like the main plate of the TKOW Wolrd Title, though half the size, with a platinum base to stand it up with "Hall of Fame" on it and Bruno's name on the title's nameplate. He hands it off to the former champion and directs him to a seat as Bloodmoney arrives on stage. Phoenix repeats the process with him, then RAGE, and finally Onslaught.
All four men admire the crystal at their seats on the stage as Phoenix hands T.H. Power the list of new inductees.
T.H. Power: The new inductees to the brand new TKOW Hall of Fame, as decided by your peer, and I tell you, there was only one peer involved in this, believe it!
Dead silence.
T.H. Power: No one watches Naruto huh. Ok then. First up is Cerrebro Sparks!
More silence as some guy makes his way up to the podium. Phoenix stares at him blankly, holding Cerrebro?s crystal.
T.H. Power: If that guy has the nerve to say he?s Cerrebro Sparks, then give him the damned plaque.
Phoenix shrugs, hands off the award, and begins to retrieve the next one. The man hoots and hollers until Mike Oates shoves him into a seat.
T.H. Power: Next up is a personal favorite of yours and mine, the legend known as? Oh. Heh. Legend!
A few people clap. Apparantly someone knows this guy. He receives his crystal and takes a seat.
T.H. Power: Alright, alright. Here?s one we should all remember. Sorta. T-Money!
The former champion makes his way to the stage, getting a much better reaction than the first two recipiants. Salazar Tyrenus jumps out of his seat and lifts T into a big bear hug.
T.H. Power: Calm down Eden. It?s not that time yet. But put your hands together for.. Oh, damn, it?s just Extreme Killer Phil. Phil wouldn?t be here tonight, so he snuck a camerman to his house to get some recorded comments.
A screen is wheeled out and a projection appears. A stocky man is apparently sticking it to a camel. And if you need that explained, you aren?t a fan. The man is talking, apparently.
Thatguywe?recallingPhil: Oh my god but TKOW isn?t the TKOW I loved I dun wanna haf nuthin to do wit it the people in charge aren?t good for me an I can?t run at the mouth no more an they won?t let my girlfriend here into the locker room that Peenix dude sux.
T.H. Power: Picking up the award on his behalf is Granneh. I don?t ask why though. Next up, however, is the biggest schlong in the business, and the current TKOW General Manager, Samhain!
Now we get some fucking applause, don?t we? DON?T WE?!?
Samhain walks out the buff, wearing an extra large Christmas stocking over the goods. Phoenix kind of, tosses, his award at him and covers his eyes.
T.H. Power: And after him, we have to bring in, are you ready for this? Dave ?Straightedge? Rave, and his brother, Jason ?Fucking? Starr!
No one appears, though.
T.H. Power: Well, as we all know, Jason Starr is a big weenie, not to be confused with Samhain?s winter gift there. Dave Rave, on the other hand, well, no one can FIND his ass.
Many people boo. Incessently. Don?t worry, we are too. Writing this kinda thing when no one is here is really sucky. Which is why it turned into this.
T.H. Power: Two more names left in the hat people, and then on to the big surprise event. The first of those two names? Dustin Hughes!
We can hear Phoenix mutter ?Hey I beat that guy? as Dustin walks up to receive his award.
T.H. Power: And finally, the last entrant in the TKOW Hall of Fame for 2006, you know him well, Aaron, M-C!
Aaron: That?s Mc! Mick!!!
T.H. Power: No one cares!
Aaron takes his award and stops in his tracks, getting red when he sees the plaque reads ?Aaron MC? instead of ?Aaron Mc?.
T.H. Power: That is all we have for the TKOW Hall of Fame. We?re going to take a short break and pretend not to notice the Wall of Handler Shame, and then we?ll be back for the special surprise event!
