HALL OF FAME INDUCTEES

Considered by many to be one of the most mysterious and dark wrestlers to ever step foot into a wrestling ring, Morbid Terror paved a wave of destruction through league after league until finally arriving in the competitive ECL. Somewhat controversial, his mystique, along with the ability to make "things" happen due to his connection with evil forces, made him a wrestler not many looked forward to facing -- that, and the fact he stood close to 7' tall and was just over 300 pounds. Terror's true intentions were unknown, but he served the Circle of Tyrants for many years, unopposed.

Soon after arriving in the ECL, someone would challenge Terror's level of brutality... the wrestler known as Euronymous. The two giants had a bloody, brutal feud that lasted for quite some time, even when they became stablemates. However, the mutual respect they had for one another finally ended the bloodbath, and they formed the destructive tag-team known as "The Titans of Terror." The two monsters looked as though they could not be stopped until a well known tag-team, "The Twin Brothers of Destruction" Fire and Ice, openly challenged them. It was considered by many fans to be a dream match which did not disappoint. After it was clear that there were no true winners in this battle of giants, the four of them would form one of the most powerful forces known to the wrestling world: The Unholy Alliance. The group would last for some time before disbanding.

A six-time ECL League Champion, along with being a former ECL Universal Champion and Universal Tag-team Champion, Morbid Terror's success was evident, and he was considered by many wrestling critics to be one of the most dominant wrestlers in the long history of the ECL. His appearances in 2009 were few and far between, finally leading to his retirement in 2010. Congratulations are in order for his manager, David Mitchell of Canada, who led Terror to stats of 1,348-534-179, with $4,341,700 in imaginary earnings and 46 stars.

A Scandalous Domination, Inc. Event: The retirement of SDI: President Platinum Chanel. With a record of 1,008 wins, 443 losses, 76 draws, and 25 stars, it is now time for the IWA's best technical wrestler to finally hang up his boots. President Platinum began his wrestling career in 2005 in the HTL, but has since ventured into the ASL, BBL, APL, ABL, and returned to the ASL, where he wrestled his final match. In his breathtaking career, Mr. Chanel has held 5 league championships, 3 TV titles, and 21 regional straps. This success came from backbreaking work on his part, as this man had never missed a cycle!

On his entry into the IWA Hall of Fame, Platinum had the following to say: "This is an honor that I have worked my entire career to achieve, as finally my dedication to perfecting my craft has paid off. Platinum Chanel is a Hall-of-Famer now! It has been my pleasure to antagonize the fans as one of the most hated heels in the world for years, as I always made sure that you got your money's worth. In your heart of hearts, you all know you loved me... and I loved you all, too. When my manager/boss/friend Jason P. Brass VII discovered me, I was an international supermodel, and we crafted the persona of Platinum Chanel to near flawlessness -- the looks, the body, the skill, the women... none of it happened by accident. Now it's time for me to take the business acumen I gleaned from JPB7, and the $10 million retirement bonus he gave me, to start the Platinum-Banks Modeling Agency with my longtime friend, Tyra Banks. But, wrestling will always be in my heart. I've had some heated rivalries in my career with some awesome athletes like the Latino Loverboy, the Bullet Butch Starr, Midir, and even with my co-worker, Justin Drysdale, but whether I won or lost, no one ever had an easy time in the ring with 'The All-American Sex Symbol.' Now it's time to break out of the Platinum Chanel cocoon and allow Brayce Chandler to spread his wings, but I will still remain scandalous! SDI or DIE!"

Platinum's manager, Sirree A. Raysor of North Carolina, will receive an engraved plaque to commemorate the occasion.

WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION

Thanks to his perfect 501-point strategy, SW/IT: Satan Smith (TCL) was able to overpower our other federation champions and claim the game's top prize.

His manager, John Gabriel of Pennsylvania, gets his choice of an engraved plaque or 25 free matches.
