The latest IWA Hall of Fame induction class includes "The Amour Corps," a group of "sexy assassins" managed by Charming Billy. The trio of heels first retired a number of years ago, but came back several years later to prove they still had what it takes. They did so by winning numerous individual and team titles in the tough NSL, and the return culminated with Boudoir winning the IWA U.S. title in the January cycle of 2012 -- with some underhanded help from Desire and Heenan.
After the three had had their induction to a reception of mostly boos but some cheers, their despised manager, Charming Billy, rushed to the podium. He demanded that he also be inducted into the Hall of Fame, and acknowledged universally as "the greatest manager of all time."
The crowd responded with deafening boos and jeers, but Billy only sneered and traded insults for a few minutes. Finally, he shouted, "It doesn't matter what any of you think! You can't do anything about it! I am going to take my rightful place!" Raising his arms in triumph, he started to back away from the podium. As he did so, his feet became entangled in wires and cables, sending him stumbling backward and eventually falling off the back of the stage into a dumpster.
