Corey L. Stedman of Michigan

Corey Stedman (MML) 1,586-370-55, $3,395,500 *13
The crowd finishes filing into a packed Madison Square Garden. After a heartfelt speech by Iceman Jason McGrew, out comes the living legend, The Celtic Hammer Corey Stedman. "The Lord of the Dance" plays to a thunderous standing ovation as Stedman steps up to the podium.

"Well, I never thought the day would come where I'd be standing up here in front of you all. Before I get started, I just want to take this time to say that all of you gave me the drive that I had, night in and night out, to accomplish everything that I have done in this business, so as you had said 'thank you' for always being the face of the MML, it is my turn to applaud all of you fans and say thank you for making everything possible. Iceman Jason McGrew taught me everything I know, and I want to thank him for never giving up on me. Iceman, you did a tremendous job introducing me tonight. Nobody else could have done the honor, so thank you for that, and I hope you are happy with what I have done.

"I guess you could say I knew my passion for professional wrestling and what I wanted to do in my life from day one began when I was skimming through the channels on the television in the mid '90s and I saw my first match, which I believe was I.R.S. versus Razor Ramon. When I first broke into the business, I didn't really have a clue on what I wanted to do, what path I wanted to take towards how I wanted to be known throughout my career -- that was, until the day came when I encountered the Superstar Alliance, led by the man whom I consider my greatest opponent that I feuded with, Superstar Slater. Slater and his group of guys, the Assassins, and Sun Tzu were always harping on Iceman McGrew for, I guess, his 'experience,' or being in the business for far too long. The way I saw it, it was Superstar, the Assassins, and Tzu versus EDGE, which consisted at the time of McGrew, Enforcer Tony Lanzia, and Studly Steve Stennick. EDGE was at a handicap, so why not fight and stick up for the man that taught me even when, I guess, he didn't want to pick a feud? So I guess my role from there on out in my career was fighting for the common good of doing what was right for the business that gave me a chance. When somebody or a group wanted to cause some disturbance, I was the first person 24/7 to stand on the other side of the battle line against a lot of stables -- namely, the Alliance, Lethal, Dark Justice Family, Army of 4, and even EDGE itself, but no matter who it was against, I was always on the side that you fans cheered.

"The one match that really told me that I was a true player or performer -- most would say it was my first World title win, but it was actually in Berlin, a match against Superstar Slater that ended in a draw, because loss after loss, it finally turned the tables and showed that I could hang with the big dogs. I have garnered a lot of accomplishments, achievements, and awards throughout my career, along with nearly 50 titles, most notably six World title reigns, five television title reigns, the 2013 MML Wrestler of the Year award, and now a 2013 IWA Hall of Fame induction. Night in and night out, whether it was opening match, mid card, or main event, I was always the most exciting match of the night; I always put my body and my heart into my work. I was always 366 days a year, 25 hours a day, and 8 days a week, which just means I was a step above and better than the rest, which is why I am Best in the World!

"With that being said, I just hope that I made you all as proud as you have made me by being here tonight. I know if I wanted to, I could still go with anybody toe-to-toe, that I have a lot left, but as of right now, I feel it's time, but just don't ever say forever; it's only for now. I want to take this time to again thank Iceman Jason McGrew, Miss Lee Honglong, Superstar Slater, Bryan Danielson, Mike Sebastian, and whoever else I did not mention. I want to thank guys I idolized throughout my career -- guys like Scott Norton, Jim The Anvil Neidhart, Finlay, Dr. Death Steve Williams, Taz, Bret Hart, Bruno Sammartino, Tommy Dreamer, Triple H, and Ric Flair, as well as guys that are no longer with us, such as the British Bulldog, Umaga, and Chris Benoit. Well... I guess there's only one thing left to say, and that is dreams can come true; mine just did. The biggest tragedies always lead to bigger triumphs. Even though it's a tragedy that I may not perform again in front of you at this time, it's a bigger triumph that I will now forever live in your hearts and minds. Thank you..."
