HALL OF FAME INDUCTEES

Our first retiree this cycle is WWW: Stormbringer Williams from the NDL! His final stats are 1,035-464-58 and $2,050,200. Throughout his career he was most noted for his feuds. In the AEL he feuded with the SCAT tag-team, and in the NDL he feuded with members of The Click. Both feuds ended with his opponents leaving the leagues. He is retiring to pursue other interests, which include bounty hunting. An engraved plaque will be sent to his manager, Ed Cassens of Missouri!

The Bald-Headed Boogie Man from Wig-Wam is also retiring! He started his career in the World Wrestling League of the Jade Federation in September 2005, and ended in the Anarchist Lust League of the Diamond Federation. He finishes his career with 1,085 wins, 376 losses, 21 draws, and $1,432,200 in earnings. He is the second wrestler to enter the IWA Hall of Fame from the team of Blake Morgan and Gary Cassibry, Sr. (both of Mississippi) since Jerry Bob Landry!

A woman dressed in a business suit steps forward to the platform, adjusts her glasses, and begins to speak. "Thanks for coming out, everyone. I'm Jessica Vames, Anthony Pratt's assistant. Mr. Pratt couldn't be here today, but wanted me to read a statement to you all on his behalf." (Jessica begins to read his prepared draft.) "With the recent growth of my record label, I have decided to retire from the IWA. This game provided so much fun for me playing it as a young boy (early teens), and nearly 17 years later I've decided to walk away from it. Thank you, IWA, for providing such memories. It was fun. I want to thank the following managers for hanging in there with me over the years: Dee McKeown, Gary Edgar, Jr., Kyle Peterson, R.D. Strickland, Craig Perkins, Alan and Linda Pedriera, Tom Heholt, John Keady, Ryan Fertuck, Keith and John Voss, Steve Petty, Nathan Jendrick, John Tracey, Jeremy Smith, Phil Raia, Dennis Hammack, Gerald Robinson, Tony Mattera, Tony Scheinman, B.C Empson, Bo Cantrell, Derek Nordio, Frank Snow, Eric Lindsey, Zach Mercier, Jerome Arroyo, Dan Harrell, Jammin' James Nichols, Jason Groomes, Aaron Fletcher, and Stacy Kowalski. I got to know many of you outside of this game. THANK YOU." (Fade to black.)
