PWX Rewind
Best of 2012
12-26-2012
["See's Me Through" by Ditchwater plays, showing high impact action from PWX in 2012]
And now I feel so cold inside me
Embracing my own emptiness
[Footage of Jason Parker Olesen attacking James Silkk as the Hood is shown-with shots of him being raked across razor wire.]
A broken mirror that shows me nothing
Scattered pieces do remain
[Footage of James Silkk brawling with John Pariah is shown, including Silkk throwing him off the stage.]
I'll take the time to question all you say
[Darin Zion brawling with Brian Hollywood is shown]
And focus my attention to myself
[Footage of him holding up the World Championship is shown.]
No more will I just give in
And now I'll stand up for what, sees me through
[Footage of John Pariah and Jake Keeton competing in the ring. Followed by a shot of them shaking hands.]
[We cut to the PWX Studio, where Lillith Morgan is sitting on a directors chair, using an iPad mini as a note card. She is joined by former PWX Commentator Chris "Solo" Queen, as the song fades out.]
Lillith Morgan: Ladies and Gentlemen welcome to a special look back at 2012 in PWX…welcome..to the PWX Rewind!
Solo: It's good to be back here Lillith. You look lovely this evening!
Lillith Morgan: Thank's Chris. Tonight we aim to take a look back at the year 2012-and revisit some of the biggest and best moments of the year!
Solo: First off, I want to announce the winner of our "Best Event of 2012" Award-as voted on by the PWX Faithful!
Lillith Morgan: To commemorate this event, the winner will be the first show released on blu ray for PWX!
Solo: And the winner is….
PWX EVENT OF THE YEAR for 2012 - NEVER SAY DIE IV - NOW AVAILABLE ON BLU RAY!
Solo: Never Say Die IV was one of the biggest and best events in PWX's now seven year history!
Lillith Morgan: From top to bottom, Never Say Die IV showed the world that PWX is the best PROFESSIONAL WRESTLING promotion in the world today.
Solo: We have a lot more awards to hand out folks, but we'll be right back-with your vote for Best World Champion of 2012!
------------------------
------------------------
Best World Champion of 2012
Solo: This season, we've had four men hold the PWX World Championship-dating back to New Frontiers-when John Ojeda defeated John Pariah to regain the championship he never lost.
Lillith Morgan: But some men, have done more than others with that fifteen pounds of gold-which is why we allowed the fans to vote on their choice for the best World Champion of 2012-and they spoke out in droves.
Solo: That's right. The PWX Faithful voted for a man who came into the company in 2005 as a curtain jerker. He had a series of excellent bouts with Lars Micheals, and his on again-off-again relationship with John Pariah has kept him around the scene for the last seven years. He is a former NXTGN Champion, and now a former World Champion…ladies and gentlemen-your winner of the Best World Champion of the Year Award……..THE ABSTRACT….JAMES SILKK!!
["Broken & Betrayed" plays, and Silkk's entrance video is shown on the screens in the studio. James Silkk walks out from off stage. The in studio crowd is cheering loudly, applauding James efforts. HE slaps hands with the group of fans who have won passes to this special event, and than walks over to the hosts. He shakes hands with Solo, before giving a hug and a kiss on the hand. His music dies down, and he takes a seat next to the hosts.]
James Silkk: Thank you. Thank you.
[Lillith presents him with a replica of the new World Championship belt, with his name permanently engraved on it. A tear rolls down his cheek-as his smile widens, slinging the belt over his shoulder.]
James Silkk: This is amazing, after everything I've done-in and out of the ring. After the heinous crimes I've committed. It's almost better than winning the real thing.
[The in studio crowd applaudes.]
Crowd: ABSTRACT! ABTRACT! ABSTRACT!!
James Silkk: It's amazing, really. I don't know what to say.
Lillith Morgan: You shocked the world this year, not only when you returned to PWX-and kicked John Ojeda in the jaw, not only when you turned on your brother John-and went to war with him at Full Throttle. Your actions spoke louder than your words James.
James Silkk: I know. I did heinous things in that match, all to reach this goal.
Solo: And when you achieved that goal James, you ran with it. For seventy days-you were the face of PWX. You represented this company with pride and honor-holding that title like a true champion!
James Silkk: Thank you Solo. Winning this belt meant everythi---
[James is cut off by Darin Zion walking into the studio-with his PWX World Championship belt.]
Darin Zion: YO YO YO YO YO! Hey James, I'm happy for you, and I'm gonna let you finish, but I'm Darin Zion. I'm the World Champion, and I'm the best World Champion of All Time!
[James stands up, smirking.]
James Silkk: That's not what this says Darin…..
[The studio crowd cheers.]
Darin Zion: What? some puny award the fans voted for you? You probably made two dozen accounts-and got all your band mates to make accounts just to vote you up man. You're worthless. I bet you anything I can hold this title longer than you.
James Silkk: I did more for that belt in 70 days, than you could do in 700. I earned these fans respect. You had it-and you threw it all away just to inflate your own fucking ego. I kicked your ass once Darin, do I REALLY have to do it again?
Darin Zion: You couldn't touch me James, you couldn't do anything. I've always been better than you. You're just garba---
[His mic is cut off as James delivers a hard right hand. The two come to blows. The studio crowd cheers loudly as they exchange strikes. Zion throws a haymaker and Silkk ducks it-dropping him with a Dream Killer on the studio floor. He smiles as he kneels over him-holding his award.]
James Silkk: This says I'm the best World Champion of 2012. These fans say I'm the best World Champion of 2012-and that's all that matters to me. Darin, good luck with that psycho tramp at No Limits-but be prepared, because while you may go through Fifty Shades of Pain with Jessica Harmony, I'll be waiting in the shadows-waiting for the smoke to clear-to be your personal Dream Killer. 2013, the Era of Abstract continues….
[He smiles-holding his award up. "Broken and Betrayed" plays as we go to a commercial.
------------------------
------------------------
[We fade into the studio where Lillith Morgan and Chris "Solo" Queen sit. In front of them is a custom PWX Championship belt that reads "2012 Wrestler of the Year".]
Lillith Morgan: It's now time to present the award for the 2012 PWX Wrestler of the Year, and I've got to tell you Chris there's certainly something special about this guy.
Chris Queen: Well tell me more, what did this individual do that made such an impact in 2012 that the fans voted him Wrestler of the Year?
Lillith Morgan: How about victories over Victor Jace, Timothy Hunt, James Silkk, and John Pariah? In fact he won every match he competed in for PWX, except the Hybrid Scramble at Respect if Earned but even then he wasn't pinned or submitted, some even say had he wanted to he would have won that too.
[The fans inside the studio begin a small "Keeton" "Keeton" "Keeton" chant.]
Lillith Morgan: I think the fans have this one all figured out, so without further ado, ladies and gentlemen your 2012 PWX Wrestler of the Year, JAKE KEETON!
["Man of Constant Sorrow" by Charm City Devils begins playing and out comes Jake Keeton, sitting in a wheel chair with his right knee extended out in front of him, heavily braced with a metal cage to hold the pins in place. The stage hand that was pushing the chair leaves Jake sitting next to Lillith.]
Jake Keeton: I want to thank the fans for this, it's a huge honor to know that in the short time I was with PWX that I made enough of an impact on the fan base that they would vote me wrestler of the year. I think this has to be one of the proudest moments of my life, and I'm incredibly humbled. It's been an incredibly rough week and I...
[His voice begins to quiver, but he composes himself.]
Jake Keeton: I needed something like this to lift my spirits.
"You're pathetic."
[The crowd breaks out in boos as Spencer Vain's voice rings out from off screen and the rookie steps out into the studio. He's quickly cut off by security who make sure to keep him away from Keeton who Spencer severely injured one week ago.]
Spencer Vain: You make me sick, you're the same guy that ordered my Dad to hold up countless wrestlers after you, him, and Michael Cade had beaten them down and you branded them like cattle. You've done things so vile and disgusting that these sheep who are cheering should be booing you not me, but instead you're the hero and they've forgotten all the terrible things you've done but I ain't forgotten shit Jake. You all...
[Vain points out at the studio audience.]
Spencer Vain: I did all of you a favor by making sure this sack of shit never steps foot in a wrestling ring again. Cause he may have been "retired" but he's a greedy son of a bitch and as soon as he got the chance he would have swooped back in to save the day and y'all would have once again forgotten he said he was never comin' back. Well I made sure he doesn't and I had all intentions of coming out here and kick him out of that chair and taking his little belt but I guess I won't be able to do that. That's alright though, I'll just win my own wrestler of the year award in '13. Rot in hell Jake Keeton.
[Spencer walks off the stage and the security disperses.]
Lillith Morgan: I apologize for the interruption Jake, would you like to say anything else?
Jake Keeton: Nah, I'm done, I just want to go home and heal up so that I can enjoy my retirement with my wife and son. I appreciate the award.
------------------------
Lillith Morgan: What an explosive showcase it’s been Chris!
Solo: This is what I’ve been missing in PWX?
Lillith Morgan: It’s going to get more explosive as PWX debuts in Milwaukee, Wisconsin on January 23rd!
Solo: That’s right Lillith! PWX and Versus presents NO LIMITS from the Cell Arena in Milwaukee!
Lillith Morgan: One of the matches for it will be a six way Golden Dreams Match! It’s a cross between the Royal Rumble and Money In The Bank!
Solo: Oh?
Lillith Morgan: That’s right, beginning at Adrenaline 22-we’ll see a series of qualifier matches. The match will be a battle royal style match-with a total of four prizes. The winner? He or she challenges for the PWX World Championship at Hostile Takeover III in Tokyo, Japan!
Solo: WOW!
Lillith Morgan: The runner up? He or she challenges for the Hybrid Championship. Third place? Evolution? Fourth and Fifth? They will team up to challenge for the World Tag Team Championship!
Solo: And the sixth person?
Lillith Morgan: Well every match needs a loser in it.
Solo: This is true.
Lillith Morgan: This match is called Golden Dreams-and will make its debut at No Limits!
Solo: We’re going to take a short break, and when we come back…..we’re going to show you the finish of the 2012 MATCH OF THE YEAR!!!
[The scene fades to the No Limits logo, and we cut to commercial.]
-------------------------------------------
Lillith Morgan: How fitting that the Match of the Year would be contested between the two wrestlers vying for Wrestler of the Year!
Solo: That’s right, just a couple of weeks ago, PWX fans bore witness to one of the best matches of all time. John Pariah. Jake Keeton. Best of the Best!
Lillith Morgan: Let’s show you how that epic war concluded-as we go back to our event of the year, Never Say Die IV!
Best Match of 2012
John Pariah vs Jake Keeton (NSDIV)
[Pariah takes Keeton by the head, and picks him up, only to drive him into the turnbuckle. Keeton is obviously dazed as Pariah sets him up for a suplex. Keeton blocks it-and lifts Pariah up-dropping him face first on the mat. Keeton rolls to the ropes-and pulls him self up just as Pariah gets to a knee-and follows it with a running kick to the head. He picks him up-and shoots him into the corner-following it up by bouncing off the near ropes and dropping Pariah with a lariat. Building momentum now, Keeton picks him up and delivers a flurry of strikes-forcing Pariah into the corner. He steps back and delivers a splash, taking the air out of his opponents body. He rocks Pariah with an over head belly to belly out of the corner-sending him straight onto his back across the ring. Keeton immediately goes on the attack-dropping a knee into the spine of his opponent. He picks him up-and begins the Tri-Plex as the crowd pops-dropping Pariah onto his head with a Dragon Suplex. He rolls through, and lifts him up-dropping him with a tiger suplex. He rolls through that one-and lifts him up with a pump handle-driving him back first to the mat. The crowd roars as he goes for a cover:
ONE!!
TWO!!
THR--KICKOUT!
Keeton gets up and hits the ropes-hitting a running senton-driving his weight into the back of Pariah. He lifts him up-and goes for a slow turning neck breaker. Pariah puts the boots on it-and shoves Keeton into the ropes-before delivering a roaring elbow to the back of his head-knocking him into the middle ropes. Pariah uses his legs to apply pressure on Keeton, using the ropes for leverage. He lifts him up-and drops him with a reverse DDT. He hooks the legs and goes for a cover:
ONE!
TWO!!
THR--KICKOUT!]
Chris Caudill: Neither of these two will give up Ricky!
[Pariah picks Keeton up, but Keeton starts to battle back. He sends a hard right hand to the ribs of John followed by another one to the face. John tries to counter with a haymaker, but Keeton ducks it, grabs on to Pariah’s arm, dropping him with a full nelson slam. Pariah gets right back up and soon drop kicked into the ropes. On his way back Keeton hits Pariah with a back body drop, sending Pariah flying through the air. Keeton begins to taunt Pariah, who’s a little slow getting up. Pariah charges at Keeton but gets a spine buster for his troubles.]
Chris Caudill: These two warriors are giving us everything they have.
Ricky Cravate: If this is one, either, or both of their final matches-they want to go out with a bang!
[Keeton picks Pariah up and looks to be going for a Russian leg sweep, but Pariah sends an elbow to Keeton’s face, chest, and ribs. He breaks the hold and steps back-stalking Keeton, and poising him for the Stiffest Lariat This Side O' Super Dragon. He runs at him-but Keeton ducks the shot, and drops him with a Jumping Leg Lariat as the crowd roars loudly.]
Chris Caudill: OUT OF NOWHERE!!
Ricky Cravate: THAT'S IT!
[Keeton rolls Pariah up-looking for the cover:
ONE!!!
TWO!!!!!!
THREE!!!!!!
The bell rings as Keeton's music reprises. He rolls off of Pariah-as the ref holds up his hands.]
Alexis Lace: Here is your winner…….JAKE……KEEEETTOOONNN!!!!
Solo: That’s right folks, John Pariah vs Jake Keeton, Best of the Best is our Match of the Year Winner!
Lillith Morgan: It had A LOT of stiff competition though Solo.
Solo: That’s right. Zion vs Hollywood from Never Say Die, and the Hybrid Scramble from Respect is Earned were amongst the top competitors for it!
------------------------
Lillith Morgan: Speaking of tight race, it’s been an all out battle on the forums and on Twitter for the best Hybrid Champion of 2012.
Solo: Jason Aries shocked the world when he won the title from Bob Pooler-who might I add was completely shut out of the voting.
Lillith Morgan: He had one helluva title run-and the fans responded to it with respect. It was a neck and neck race between he, the former champion Timothy Hunt, and the current champion Victor Jace.
Solo: The final poll was between the three men, but in the end, the current champion Victor Jace scored 46% of the votes-netting him the victory, and the title of best Hybrid Champion of 2012!
[Lillith Morgan stands snugly behind Chris "Solo" Queen, tightly holding the PWX Hybrid Champion of the Year trophy against her chest as they prepare to announce the winner of the next award.]
Chris "Solo" Queen: With that said...our next award goes to the man who won PWX Hybrid Champion of the year! He's a long-time PWX Veteran and a former Evolution Champion, but you all may know him better as The Veteran of Violence, Victor Jace!
[Without hesitation, Victor walks out into the camera adorned in an expensive looking suit, while the Hybrid Championship rests safely upon his shoulder. He shakes the hands of both presenters before Lillith hands him his trophy, mouthing the words "You've earned it" to him. Jace takes the trophy in hand, before snagging the microphone from Chris Queen.]
Victor Jace: Was there ever any doubt that I'd be the one winning this? Who else has done what I have done? Nobody! In one night, just one night at one event in one match, I did more than anybody else has done this year! I defeated four men, one of which was a former world champion, two more of which were former Hybrid Champions themselves, and I beat them all. Hunt, Aries, and Pooler? They're nobodies. I am the face of this division...I am the face of PWX itself! For as long as I am in this company, I vow to never lose this belt. You have my word...
[Jace throws the microphone back at Chris Queen before walking off stage, holding both his belt and his trophy high for all to see.]
Solo: We’re going to take a break, and find out who was the Breakout Star of 2012-plus induct two PWX veterans into the Hall of Fame?
------------------------
------------------------
Lillith Morgan: Welcome back folks, I would like to take this time to announce the first set of qualifier matches for January 2nd, Adrenaline 22 from the PWX Arena!
Solo: In addition to a night that will see Victor Jace and Spencer Vain team up for the first time-to face the duo of Adam Stryker and Damien Frost-and the current reigning champions Tiami Tyler and Jessica Harmony for the World Tag Team Championship!
Lillith Morgan: We will also see AJ Fairchild do battle with the PWX World Champion Darin Zion!
Solo: Who we saw get punked by James Silkk earlier tonight!
Lillith Morgan: In the first Qualifier, we will see the debuting Jay Encina facing the rising star Tripp Skylark in singles competition!
Solo: After that, Khris Shane faces Joe Johnson in the second Qualifier Match!
Lillith Morgan: In a match that could headline a pay per view, the former Triple Crown Champion Ness will do battle with the former World Champion-James Silkk-for the first time ever!
Solo: Not to mention, the former Hybrid Champion Timothy Hunt goes one on one with Ryan Kidd in the fourth qualifier match!
Lillith Morgan: I cant wait to see that match. Hunt came within a few votes of being the Hybrid Champ of the Year.
Solo: And that segues into our next award, the Breakout Star of 2012!
Lillith Morgan: Ryan Kidd made his debut in Toronto, at Adrenaline 11. He won a Proving Ground Match, securing himself a 90 day contract with PWX. His victory that night over Cameron Capone drew the attention of not only PWX, but UWL Management-as he was immediately entered into the UWL International Championship Match at WrestleFest!
Solo: He went on to win that match, and continue a pretty dominant and impressive showing here in PWX. Despite a pair of losses to Darin Zion-Ryan Kidd has a tremendous head on his shoulders, and endless potential. He already has UWL gold around his waist-and it’s only a matter of time until he has PWX gold around it as well.
Lillith Morgan: Be it FGA, or UWL, or PWX-Ryan Kidd has made more of an impact in his rookie year than some men make in their entire careers! That’s why Mr. Kidd is our Breakout Star of 2012!
Solo: So whose ready for the main course?
Lillith Morgan: That's right. We're going to take another short break, and begin the 2012 Hall of Fame Celebration!

----------------------------
Lillith Morgan: Welcome back to PWX Rewind! Tonight, we've taken a look back at 2012, and showcased the best wrestlers and matches of the year. Next, we dig deeper and celebrate two former champions, by inducting them into the Hall of Fame!
Solo: The PWX Hall of Fame currently consists of former World Champion Corey Gein, World Tag Team Champions Lars and Willow Numan. Former PWX Triple Crown Winner Violent K, former 2 time Hybrid Champion Adam "Crazed" James, the first ever World Champion Michael Norcia-and of course the Archetype of PWX-John Pariah!
Lillith Morgan: Tonight, we will induct two veterans into these hallowed halls
Solo: First up, is a former PWX Tag Team and NXTGN Champion, a bonafide wrestling legend. Ladies and Gentlemen-the Instant Ratings Machine…….NOAH HANSON!!!
Lillith Morgan: Noah Hanson is a wrestling legend, who helped paved the way for the future stars of PWX. HOFers like Adam James have learned a lot from the Instant Ratings Machine, and other would be HOFers like Skylar Kelly and Tyler Boyd have all basked in his presence.
Solo: A former PWX World Tag Team Champion, as well as a former NXTGN Champion-Noah Hanson is a former member of Sex & Money-one of the most dominant factions ever to grace this company. Arguably, one of the toughest wrestlers never to hold the PWX World Championship.
Lillith Morgan: Noah Hanson, truly deserves this recognition-and his achievements not only in PWX, but the industry as a whole will be loved for years to come!
Solo: Ladies and Gentlemen, it is time for the main attraction though. Please welcome to the studio…John Pariah!
[Inducting a Legend]
[“Fade” by Kidd Russell hits in the Studio. John Pariah, hair pulled back, makes his way out to the podium. Pariah is greeted by the in studio audience who welcome him openly.]
Studio Crowd: PARIAH! PARIAH!
[Pariah smiles as he adjusts his collar on his tux. His music fades out. He stands there for a moment before pulling out a very nice cut ring. Pariah looks at it before looking back out towards the audience.]
Pariah: You know, it’s been quite awhile since I stood in front of you all on this stage. The PWX Hall of Fame is a very unique and honorable hall where PWX greats stand together above an elite core of talent. Year after year, PWX superstars come and go. Some make an impact and some don’t. The Hall of Fame isn’t just a ceremony, it’s a career strived goal. It’s an honorable recognition about a superstars achievements and their extremely hard work and dedication. It’s about moments that superstars create that will forever be remembered in this business. It’s not just about winning titles, it’s about creating controversy and leaving your mark in this profession. Guys inducted before the one I present before tonight are prime examples. Guys like Violent K, Corey Gein the Numans, Michael Norcia, Adam James-and of course Mr. Noah Hanson!
[Studio break out in another chant]
Studio: AND PARIAH! CLAP CLAP CLAP CLAP CLAP
[Pariah smiles and nods his head lightly.]
Pariah: Thank you, I wasn’t going to say it!
[Studio laughs]
Pariah: But seriously, these guys made an impact in this business. They are recognized not only by their hard work, but their continuation over the years to make PWX great. They continued to make an impact, to break the glass ceiling. It truly is an honor to have someone else join the other PWX elite. We have been doing this for years and to only have 7 current Hall of Famers says alot about how much this business means not only to the inducted, but how much they left for all of you.
Studio Audience: PWX! PWX! PWX! PWX!
Pariah: Now I’ve been jabbering enough. I bet you all would like to know who I’m out here to induct into the PWX Hall of Fame!
[Studio Audience cheers loudly as Pariah get them pumped up.]
Pariah: Let me direct all of you to our nice little mini titantron for you all to view the legend of this man’s career! Before I announce him out here, enjoy the nice video package of his success! Enjoy!
Pariah: Well I don’t believe I need to tell you anymore! Without further adu ladies and gentlemen, please welcome the man, the legend and most importantly, my closest friend, Brian Hollywood!
[Studio audience begin to cheer loudly as “Perfect Insanity” by Disturbed hits in the TV Studio. Hollywood finally walks from the back but very slowly. Hollywood is dressed real nice in a tux but is also carrying a black cane with him. Hollywood makes his way to the podium as everyone is happy but shocked to see him. Hollywood and Pariah embrace each other as Pariah pats Hollywood on the back. The hug goes on for a few moments before Pariah gestures his hand toward the podium for Hollywood. Hollywood stands in front of everyone for a few moments as he looks down at his PWX Hall of Fame ring.]
Studio Audience: HOLLYWOOD! HOLLYWOOD!
[Hollywood smiles as he looks about the in studio audience. He nods his head slowly and waves out to everybody.]
Hollywood: Wow, I don’t really quite know what to say right now. For the first time in my career, I think I’m nearly speechless! Wow. Just wow. I got to say how truly honored I am to be up here right now. Words simply can’t describe it enough.
Audience: THANK YOU HOLLYWOOD! CLAP CLAP CLAP CLAP CLAP THANK YOU HOLLYWOOD! CLAP CLAP CLAP CLAP CLAP
Hollywood: I bet you all are pretty shocked to see me standing here right now. I want to go briefly into that right quick. As you all know I was left in comatose for the past few weeks. Doctors weren’t really sure what was going on. I, for one, didn’t know what happened. All I remember is waking up in the hospital and figuring out why I was there. Of course, it didn’t take me long to get out as I was informed I was going to be inducted here tonight. I couldn’t miss this for the world! I knew one way or another, I was going to get here!
[Audience starts to cheer loudly for Hollywood. Hollywood lays his cane to the side of him and pulls out a notecard.]
Hollywood: Can you believe this? I actually wrote notes for tonight!
[Hollywood stares at it for a second before ripping it up and throwing it behind him to the studio’s liking.]
Hollywood: What the hell, I wasn’t much for notes! Truth is, you can’t read your heart off a note card. You express it. Truth is, I can’t thank you guys enough for your incredible support over the years. I wouldn’t be here right now if it weren’t for you guys. I mean..you guys have gotten me through alot over the past several years.
Studio Audience: HOLLYWOOD! HOLLYWOOD! HOLLYWOOD!
Hollywood: I haven’t just been through a lot, you guys have as well. Loved me or hated me, you guys have stuck it out to the end with me. You guys have watched everything transpire here over the years and you all watched a nobody become somebody. It was always my dream to perform in front of all you. It’s really hard to believe how I’m up here now as a Hall of Famer and I was just a rookie what seemed like yesterday! You guys mean a lot to me, and I have no one else but you to thank for that!
[Studio audience begin to cheer again as Hollywood starts to wipe a tear from his eye.]
Hollywood: This has been one hell of a year for me alone. I didn’t think I would come back after being sidelined with an injury. Ever since that day, I haven’t taken another day for nothing. Then, things after Never Say Die happen. They are freak accidents and you really can’t predict them. It’s all part of life. We deal with them and we move on. However, with your guys support, I was able to be here tonight.
[Hollywood pauses and takes in more cheers from the audience as he begins to transition.]
Hollywood: PWX has always been home to me. I have never given half or anything under best. I have always gone out night in and night out and given you fans the best I could offer. I didn’t care if I was injured or what the situation was, it was to entertain every single one of you guys! I look back several years and I see how far I’ve come. I’ve done a lot of noteworthy things here. I came into this business idolizing guys like Michael Norcia and Violent K. Who would have ever thought I’d be joining them in the Hall of Fame today? It truly is amazing. That and my fellow friend, Noah Hanson, was inducted tonight. I want to congratulate you my friend. It’s truly an honor to go into the PWX Hall of Fame with you. When you think about it, it’s kind of ironic. I began my career associated with you and here I am being inducted with you. It’s a great honor and I’m glad we got to create some great memories together and for our fans. They truly make it worth it.
Studio Audience: S&M! S&M!
[Hollywood smiles and nods his head as he points out to the audience.]
Hollywood: From the bottom of my heart, I love you guys! I want to thank everyone in PWX’s past and present for making the things I did, possible. I want to thank guys like Noah Hanson, Jacob Wright, Brad Jackson, Corey Gein and yes, Darin Zion, for making my experience in PWX great. But most of all, I’d like to thank one of my best friends and fellow brothers, John Pariah. Without you, a lot of things may not have been. You’ve been by my side all these years and we’ve been through a lot together. You never gave up on me and honestly are a reason on where I’m at today. So I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart, you made it all possible. I also want to give out a thank you to JPO, a man who made me standing here possible. Without that man, you wouldn’t have PWX. You wouldn’t see a hall of fame and we wouldn’t have gotten to do the things we do without his guidance. JPO is truly an inspiring person and I don’t think he gets as much thanks as he deserves.
Studio Audience: THANK YOU JPO! CLAP CLAP CLAP CLAP CLAP! THANK YOU JPO! CLAP CLAP CLAP CLAP CLAP
Hollywood: You know, being inducted in the PWX Hall of Fame was something I’ve always strived to achieve. It wasn’t something that I ever expected. You’ve got to do a lot of great and big time things in this business to be called to the Hall of Fame and I’m truly honored to be called to it. I’ve given back to PWX more than anything I’ve ever given to before. I’d give to PWX all day if it meant taking away from other events in my life. This is truly home to me and to be called into its Elite is truly an amazing thing to me. For as long as I’m able, I will never stop giving you guys what you want. This is far from over! I stand before you all with a promise. A promise to always give you as much as my body will allow me to. I know I’m not much right now, but I am going to strive to get back to full strength again and get back to what I enjoy doing. Entertaining all of you! You all have shown that I have so much more to offer still and I will continue to give more to PWX! Thank you all so much for supporting me over the years and what a ride it’s been. Let’s hop aboard a bigger ride and just speed things up! Again thank you all for the endless support and thank you PWX for the great recognition. There’s no where else I’d rather be than here at home! So as your new PWX Hall of Famer, look to the horizon, for yours truly Mr. Executive himself, Brian Hollywood, is just getting started! THANK you!
[“Perfect Insanity” by Disturbed reprises again as Hollywood slowly backs away from the podium. The in studio crowd are all on their feet and cheering for Hollywood. Hollywood grabs his cane and limps back a bit as he waves with a smile to the audience. He wipes away a couple more tears as Pariah comes back and hugs Hollywood again. Noah Hanson comes on stage and meets Hollywood as the two embrace for a hug. Hollywood, Noah and Pariah raise each others arms up high in the air as the studio crowd cheers loudly.]
Solo: What a rewind we saw tonight! That pose between Hollywood, Pariah and Noah truly is historic! Hanson and Hollywood joining Pariah and others as PWX Hall of Famers! Sure is a great ending to our PWX Rewind! Folks, you all have an awesome night and we’ll catch you again next week as we get back to the action! Good night everyone and I hope you all had a very Merry Christmas!

["See's Me Through" by Ditchwater plays, showing high impact action from PWX in 2012]
And now I feel so cold inside me
Embracing my own emptiness
[Footage of Jason Parker Olesen attacking James Silkk as the Hood is shown-with shots of him being raked across razor wire.]
A broken mirror that shows me nothing
Scattered pieces do remain
[Footage of James Silkk brawling with John Pariah is shown, including Silkk throwing him off the stage.]
I'll take the time to question all you say
[Darin Zion brawling with Brian Hollywood is shown]
And focus my attention to myself
[Footage of him holding up the World Championship is shown.]
No more will I just give in
And now I'll stand up for what, sees me through
[Footage of John Pariah and Jake Keeton competing in the ring. Followed by a shot of them shaking hands.]
[We cut to the PWX Studio, where Lillith Morgan is sitting on a directors chair, using an iPad mini as a note card. She is joined by former PWX Commentator Chris "Solo" Queen, as the song fades out.]
Lillith Morgan: Ladies and Gentlemen welcome to a special look back at 2012 in PWX…welcome..to the PWX Rewind!
Solo: It's good to be back here Lillith. You look lovely this evening!
Lillith Morgan: Thank's Chris. Tonight we aim to take a look back at the year 2012-and revisit some of the biggest and best moments of the year!
Solo: First off, I want to announce the winner of our "Best Event of 2012" Award-as voted on by the PWX Faithful!
Lillith Morgan: To commemorate this event, the winner will be the first show released on blu ray for PWX!
Solo: And the winner is….
PWX EVENT OF THE YEAR for 2012 - NEVER SAY DIE IV - NOW AVAILABLE ON BLU RAY!
Solo: Never Say Die IV was one of the biggest and best events in PWX's now seven year history!
Lillith Morgan: From top to bottom, Never Say Die IV showed the world that PWX is the best PROFESSIONAL WRESTLING promotion in the world today.
Solo: We have a lot more awards to hand out folks, but we'll be right back-with your vote for Best World Champion of 2012!
------------------------
------------------------
Best World Champion of 2012
Solo: This season, we've had four men hold the PWX World Championship-dating back to New Frontiers-when John Ojeda defeated John Pariah to regain the championship he never lost.
Lillith Morgan: But some men, have done more than others with that fifteen pounds of gold-which is why we allowed the fans to vote on their choice for the best World Champion of 2012-and they spoke out in droves.
Solo: That's right. The PWX Faithful voted for a man who came into the company in 2005 as a curtain jerker. He had a series of excellent bouts with Lars Micheals, and his on again-off-again relationship with John Pariah has kept him around the scene for the last seven years. He is a former NXTGN Champion, and now a former World Champion…ladies and gentlemen-your winner of the Best World Champion of the Year Award……..THE ABSTRACT….JAMES SILKK!!
["Broken & Betrayed" plays, and Silkk's entrance video is shown on the screens in the studio. James Silkk walks out from off stage. The in studio crowd is cheering loudly, applauding James efforts. HE slaps hands with the group of fans who have won passes to this special event, and than walks over to the hosts. He shakes hands with Solo, before giving a hug and a kiss on the hand. His music dies down, and he takes a seat next to the hosts.]
James Silkk: Thank you. Thank you.
[Lillith presents him with a replica of the new World Championship belt, with his name permanently engraved on it. A tear rolls down his cheek-as his smile widens, slinging the belt over his shoulder.]
James Silkk: This is amazing, after everything I've done-in and out of the ring. After the heinous crimes I've committed. It's almost better than winning the real thing.
[The in studio crowd applaudes.]
Crowd: ABSTRACT! ABTRACT! ABSTRACT!!
James Silkk: It's amazing, really. I don't know what to say.
Lillith Morgan: You shocked the world this year, not only when you returned to PWX-and kicked John Ojeda in the jaw, not only when you turned on your brother John-and went to war with him at Full Throttle. Your actions spoke louder than your words James.
James Silkk: I know. I did heinous things in that match, all to reach this goal.
Solo: And when you achieved that goal James, you ran with it. For seventy days-you were the face of PWX. You represented this company with pride and honor-holding that title like a true champion!
James Silkk: Thank you Solo. Winning this belt meant everythi---
[James is cut off by Darin Zion walking into the studio-with his PWX World Championship belt.]
Darin Zion: YO YO YO YO YO! Hey James, I'm happy for you, and I'm gonna let you finish, but I'm Darin Zion. I'm the World Champion, and I'm the best World Champion of All Time!
[James stands up, smirking.]
James Silkk: That's not what this says Darin…..
[The studio crowd cheers.]
Darin Zion: What? some puny award the fans voted for you? You probably made two dozen accounts-and got all your band mates to make accounts just to vote you up man. You're worthless. I bet you anything I can hold this title longer than you.
James Silkk: I did more for that belt in 70 days, than you could do in 700. I earned these fans respect. You had it-and you threw it all away just to inflate your own fucking ego. I kicked your ass once Darin, do I REALLY have to do it again?
Darin Zion: You couldn't touch me James, you couldn't do anything. I've always been better than you. You're just garba---
[His mic is cut off as James delivers a hard right hand. The two come to blows. The studio crowd cheers loudly as they exchange strikes. Zion throws a haymaker and Silkk ducks it-dropping him with a Dream Killer on the studio floor. He smiles as he kneels over him-holding his award.]
James Silkk: This says I'm the best World Champion of 2012. These fans say I'm the best World Champion of 2012-and that's all that matters to me. Darin, good luck with that psycho tramp at No Limits-but be prepared, because while you may go through Fifty Shades of Pain with Jessica Harmony, I'll be waiting in the shadows-waiting for the smoke to clear-to be your personal Dream Killer. 2013, the Era of Abstract continues….
[He smiles-holding his award up. "Broken and Betrayed" plays as we go to a commercial.

[BEST WRESTLER of 2012]
[We fade into the studio where Lillith Morgan and Chris "Solo" Queen sit. In front of them is a custom PWX Championship belt that reads "2012 Wrestler of the Year".]
Lillith Morgan: It's now time to present the award for the 2012 PWX Wrestler of the Year, and I've got to tell you Chris there's certainly something special about this guy.
Chris Queen: Well tell me more, what did this individual do that made such an impact in 2012 that the fans voted him Wrestler of the Year?
Lillith Morgan: How about victories over Victor Jace, Timothy Hunt, James Silkk, and John Pariah? In fact he won every match he competed in for PWX, except the Hybrid Scramble at Respect if Earned but even then he wasn't pinned or submitted, some even say had he wanted to he would have won that too.
[The fans inside the studio begin a small "Keeton" "Keeton" "Keeton" chant.]
Lillith Morgan: I think the fans have this one all figured out, so without further ado, ladies and gentlemen your 2012 PWX Wrestler of the Year, JAKE KEETON!
["Man of Constant Sorrow" by Charm City Devils begins playing and out comes Jake Keeton, sitting in a wheel chair with his right knee extended out in front of him, heavily braced with a metal cage to hold the pins in place. The stage hand that was pushing the chair leaves Jake sitting next to Lillith.]
Jake Keeton: I want to thank the fans for this, it's a huge honor to know that in the short time I was with PWX that I made enough of an impact on the fan base that they would vote me wrestler of the year. I think this has to be one of the proudest moments of my life, and I'm incredibly humbled. It's been an incredibly rough week and I...
[His voice begins to quiver, but he composes himself.]
Jake Keeton: I needed something like this to lift my spirits.
"You're pathetic."
[The crowd breaks out in boos as Spencer Vain's voice rings out from off screen and the rookie steps out into the studio. He's quickly cut off by security who make sure to keep him away from Keeton who Spencer severely injured one week ago.]
Spencer Vain: You make me sick, you're the same guy that ordered my Dad to hold up countless wrestlers after you, him, and Michael Cade had beaten them down and you branded them like cattle. You've done things so vile and disgusting that these sheep who are cheering should be booing you not me, but instead you're the hero and they've forgotten all the terrible things you've done but I ain't forgotten shit Jake. You all...
[Vain points out at the studio audience.]
Spencer Vain: I did all of you a favor by making sure this sack of shit never steps foot in a wrestling ring again. Cause he may have been "retired" but he's a greedy son of a bitch and as soon as he got the chance he would have swooped back in to save the day and y'all would have once again forgotten he said he was never comin' back. Well I made sure he doesn't and I had all intentions of coming out here and kick him out of that chair and taking his little belt but I guess I won't be able to do that. That's alright though, I'll just win my own wrestler of the year award in '13. Rot in hell Jake Keeton.
[Spencer walks off the stage and the security disperses.]
Lillith Morgan: I apologize for the interruption Jake, would you like to say anything else?
Jake Keeton: Nah, I'm done, I just want to go home and heal up so that I can enjoy my retirement with my wife and son. I appreciate the award.
------------------------
[GOLDEN DREAMS]
Lillith Morgan: What an explosive showcase it’s been Chris!
Solo: This is what I’ve been missing in PWX?
Lillith Morgan: It’s going to get more explosive as PWX debuts in Milwaukee, Wisconsin on January 23rd!
Solo: That’s right Lillith! PWX and Versus presents NO LIMITS from the Cell Arena in Milwaukee!
Lillith Morgan: One of the matches for it will be a six way Golden Dreams Match! It’s a cross between the Royal Rumble and Money In The Bank!
Solo: Oh?
Lillith Morgan: That’s right, beginning at Adrenaline 22-we’ll see a series of qualifier matches. The match will be a battle royal style match-with a total of four prizes. The winner? He or she challenges for the PWX World Championship at Hostile Takeover III in Tokyo, Japan!
Solo: WOW!
Lillith Morgan: The runner up? He or she challenges for the Hybrid Championship. Third place? Evolution? Fourth and Fifth? They will team up to challenge for the World Tag Team Championship!
Solo: And the sixth person?
Lillith Morgan: Well every match needs a loser in it.
Solo: This is true.
Lillith Morgan: This match is called Golden Dreams-and will make its debut at No Limits!
Solo: We’re going to take a short break, and when we come back…..we’re going to show you the finish of the 2012 MATCH OF THE YEAR!!!
[The scene fades to the No Limits logo, and we cut to commercial.]
-------------------------------------------
[MATCH OF THE YEAR]
Lillith Morgan: How fitting that the Match of the Year would be contested between the two wrestlers vying for Wrestler of the Year!
Solo: That’s right, just a couple of weeks ago, PWX fans bore witness to one of the best matches of all time. John Pariah. Jake Keeton. Best of the Best!
Lillith Morgan: Let’s show you how that epic war concluded-as we go back to our event of the year, Never Say Die IV!
Best Match of 2012
John Pariah vs Jake Keeton (NSDIV)
[Pariah takes Keeton by the head, and picks him up, only to drive him into the turnbuckle. Keeton is obviously dazed as Pariah sets him up for a suplex. Keeton blocks it-and lifts Pariah up-dropping him face first on the mat. Keeton rolls to the ropes-and pulls him self up just as Pariah gets to a knee-and follows it with a running kick to the head. He picks him up-and shoots him into the corner-following it up by bouncing off the near ropes and dropping Pariah with a lariat. Building momentum now, Keeton picks him up and delivers a flurry of strikes-forcing Pariah into the corner. He steps back and delivers a splash, taking the air out of his opponents body. He rocks Pariah with an over head belly to belly out of the corner-sending him straight onto his back across the ring. Keeton immediately goes on the attack-dropping a knee into the spine of his opponent. He picks him up-and begins the Tri-Plex as the crowd pops-dropping Pariah onto his head with a Dragon Suplex. He rolls through, and lifts him up-dropping him with a tiger suplex. He rolls through that one-and lifts him up with a pump handle-driving him back first to the mat. The crowd roars as he goes for a cover:
ONE!!
TWO!!
THR--KICKOUT!
Keeton gets up and hits the ropes-hitting a running senton-driving his weight into the back of Pariah. He lifts him up-and goes for a slow turning neck breaker. Pariah puts the boots on it-and shoves Keeton into the ropes-before delivering a roaring elbow to the back of his head-knocking him into the middle ropes. Pariah uses his legs to apply pressure on Keeton, using the ropes for leverage. He lifts him up-and drops him with a reverse DDT. He hooks the legs and goes for a cover:
ONE!
TWO!!
THR--KICKOUT!]
Chris Caudill: Neither of these two will give up Ricky!
[Pariah picks Keeton up, but Keeton starts to battle back. He sends a hard right hand to the ribs of John followed by another one to the face. John tries to counter with a haymaker, but Keeton ducks it, grabs on to Pariah’s arm, dropping him with a full nelson slam. Pariah gets right back up and soon drop kicked into the ropes. On his way back Keeton hits Pariah with a back body drop, sending Pariah flying through the air. Keeton begins to taunt Pariah, who’s a little slow getting up. Pariah charges at Keeton but gets a spine buster for his troubles.]
Chris Caudill: These two warriors are giving us everything they have.
Ricky Cravate: If this is one, either, or both of their final matches-they want to go out with a bang!
[Keeton picks Pariah up and looks to be going for a Russian leg sweep, but Pariah sends an elbow to Keeton’s face, chest, and ribs. He breaks the hold and steps back-stalking Keeton, and poising him for the Stiffest Lariat This Side O' Super Dragon. He runs at him-but Keeton ducks the shot, and drops him with a Jumping Leg Lariat as the crowd roars loudly.]
Chris Caudill: OUT OF NOWHERE!!
Ricky Cravate: THAT'S IT!
[Keeton rolls Pariah up-looking for the cover:
ONE!!!
TWO!!!!!!
THREE!!!!!!
The bell rings as Keeton's music reprises. He rolls off of Pariah-as the ref holds up his hands.]
Alexis Lace: Here is your winner…….JAKE……KEEEETTOOONNN!!!!
Solo: That’s right folks, John Pariah vs Jake Keeton, Best of the Best is our Match of the Year Winner!
Lillith Morgan: It had A LOT of stiff competition though Solo.
Solo: That’s right. Zion vs Hollywood from Never Say Die, and the Hybrid Scramble from Respect is Earned were amongst the top competitors for it!
------------------------
[BEST HYBRID CHAMPION OF 2012]
Lillith Morgan: Speaking of tight race, it’s been an all out battle on the forums and on Twitter for the best Hybrid Champion of 2012.
Solo: Jason Aries shocked the world when he won the title from Bob Pooler-who might I add was completely shut out of the voting.
Lillith Morgan: He had one helluva title run-and the fans responded to it with respect. It was a neck and neck race between he, the former champion Timothy Hunt, and the current champion Victor Jace.
Solo: The final poll was between the three men, but in the end, the current champion Victor Jace scored 46% of the votes-netting him the victory, and the title of best Hybrid Champion of 2012!
[Lillith Morgan stands snugly behind Chris "Solo" Queen, tightly holding the PWX Hybrid Champion of the Year trophy against her chest as they prepare to announce the winner of the next award.]
Chris "Solo" Queen: With that said...our next award goes to the man who won PWX Hybrid Champion of the year! He's a long-time PWX Veteran and a former Evolution Champion, but you all may know him better as The Veteran of Violence, Victor Jace!
[Without hesitation, Victor walks out into the camera adorned in an expensive looking suit, while the Hybrid Championship rests safely upon his shoulder. He shakes the hands of both presenters before Lillith hands him his trophy, mouthing the words "You've earned it" to him. Jace takes the trophy in hand, before snagging the microphone from Chris Queen.]
Victor Jace: Was there ever any doubt that I'd be the one winning this? Who else has done what I have done? Nobody! In one night, just one night at one event in one match, I did more than anybody else has done this year! I defeated four men, one of which was a former world champion, two more of which were former Hybrid Champions themselves, and I beat them all. Hunt, Aries, and Pooler? They're nobodies. I am the face of this division...I am the face of PWX itself! For as long as I am in this company, I vow to never lose this belt. You have my word...
[Jace throws the microphone back at Chris Queen before walking off stage, holding both his belt and his trophy high for all to see.]
VICTOR JACE – BEST HYBRID CHAMPION OF 2012
Solo: We’re going to take a break, and find out who was the Breakout Star of 2012-plus induct two PWX veterans into the Hall of Fame?
------------------------
------------------------
Lillith Morgan: Welcome back folks, I would like to take this time to announce the first set of qualifier matches for January 2nd, Adrenaline 22 from the PWX Arena!
Solo: In addition to a night that will see Victor Jace and Spencer Vain team up for the first time-to face the duo of Adam Stryker and Damien Frost-and the current reigning champions Tiami Tyler and Jessica Harmony for the World Tag Team Championship!
Lillith Morgan: We will also see AJ Fairchild do battle with the PWX World Champion Darin Zion!
Solo: Who we saw get punked by James Silkk earlier tonight!
Lillith Morgan: In the first Qualifier, we will see the debuting Jay Encina facing the rising star Tripp Skylark in singles competition!
Solo: After that, Khris Shane faces Joe Johnson in the second Qualifier Match!
Lillith Morgan: In a match that could headline a pay per view, the former Triple Crown Champion Ness will do battle with the former World Champion-James Silkk-for the first time ever!
Solo: Not to mention, the former Hybrid Champion Timothy Hunt goes one on one with Ryan Kidd in the fourth qualifier match!
Lillith Morgan: I cant wait to see that match. Hunt came within a few votes of being the Hybrid Champ of the Year.
Solo: And that segues into our next award, the Breakout Star of 2012!
BREAKOUT STAR OF 2012
Lillith Morgan: Ryan Kidd made his debut in Toronto, at Adrenaline 11. He won a Proving Ground Match, securing himself a 90 day contract with PWX. His victory that night over Cameron Capone drew the attention of not only PWX, but UWL Management-as he was immediately entered into the UWL International Championship Match at WrestleFest!
Solo: He went on to win that match, and continue a pretty dominant and impressive showing here in PWX. Despite a pair of losses to Darin Zion-Ryan Kidd has a tremendous head on his shoulders, and endless potential. He already has UWL gold around his waist-and it’s only a matter of time until he has PWX gold around it as well.
Lillith Morgan: Be it FGA, or UWL, or PWX-Ryan Kidd has made more of an impact in his rookie year than some men make in their entire careers! That’s why Mr. Kidd is our Breakout Star of 2012!
RYAN KIDD – BREAKOUT STAR of 2012
Solo: So whose ready for the main course?
Lillith Morgan: That's right. We're going to take another short break, and begin the 2012 Hall of Fame Celebration!

PWX Hall of Fame | Class of 2012Inductions
Lillith Morgan: Welcome back to PWX Rewind! Tonight, we've taken a look back at 2012, and showcased the best wrestlers and matches of the year. Next, we dig deeper and celebrate two former champions, by inducting them into the Hall of Fame!
Solo: The PWX Hall of Fame currently consists of former World Champion Corey Gein, World Tag Team Champions Lars and Willow Numan. Former PWX Triple Crown Winner Violent K, former 2 time Hybrid Champion Adam "Crazed" James, the first ever World Champion Michael Norcia-and of course the Archetype of PWX-John Pariah!
Lillith Morgan: Tonight, we will induct two veterans into these hallowed halls
Solo: First up, is a former PWX Tag Team and NXTGN Champion, a bonafide wrestling legend. Ladies and Gentlemen-the Instant Ratings Machine…….NOAH HANSON!!!
Lillith Morgan: Noah Hanson is a wrestling legend, who helped paved the way for the future stars of PWX. HOFers like Adam James have learned a lot from the Instant Ratings Machine, and other would be HOFers like Skylar Kelly and Tyler Boyd have all basked in his presence.
Solo: A former PWX World Tag Team Champion, as well as a former NXTGN Champion-Noah Hanson is a former member of Sex & Money-one of the most dominant factions ever to grace this company. Arguably, one of the toughest wrestlers never to hold the PWX World Championship.
Lillith Morgan: Noah Hanson, truly deserves this recognition-and his achievements not only in PWX, but the industry as a whole will be loved for years to come!
Solo: Ladies and Gentlemen, it is time for the main attraction though. Please welcome to the studio…John Pariah!
[Inducting a Legend]
[“Fade” by Kidd Russell hits in the Studio. John Pariah, hair pulled back, makes his way out to the podium. Pariah is greeted by the in studio audience who welcome him openly.]
Studio Crowd: PARIAH! PARIAH!
[Pariah smiles as he adjusts his collar on his tux. His music fades out. He stands there for a moment before pulling out a very nice cut ring. Pariah looks at it before looking back out towards the audience.]
Pariah: You know, it’s been quite awhile since I stood in front of you all on this stage. The PWX Hall of Fame is a very unique and honorable hall where PWX greats stand together above an elite core of talent. Year after year, PWX superstars come and go. Some make an impact and some don’t. The Hall of Fame isn’t just a ceremony, it’s a career strived goal. It’s an honorable recognition about a superstars achievements and their extremely hard work and dedication. It’s about moments that superstars create that will forever be remembered in this business. It’s not just about winning titles, it’s about creating controversy and leaving your mark in this profession. Guys inducted before the one I present before tonight are prime examples. Guys like Violent K, Corey Gein the Numans, Michael Norcia, Adam James-and of course Mr. Noah Hanson!
[Studio break out in another chant]
Studio: AND PARIAH! CLAP CLAP CLAP CLAP CLAP
[Pariah smiles and nods his head lightly.]
Pariah: Thank you, I wasn’t going to say it!
[Studio laughs]
Pariah: But seriously, these guys made an impact in this business. They are recognized not only by their hard work, but their continuation over the years to make PWX great. They continued to make an impact, to break the glass ceiling. It truly is an honor to have someone else join the other PWX elite. We have been doing this for years and to only have 7 current Hall of Famers says alot about how much this business means not only to the inducted, but how much they left for all of you.
Studio Audience: PWX! PWX! PWX! PWX!
Pariah: Now I’ve been jabbering enough. I bet you all would like to know who I’m out here to induct into the PWX Hall of Fame!
[Studio Audience cheers loudly as Pariah get them pumped up.]
Pariah: Let me direct all of you to our nice little mini titantron for you all to view the legend of this man’s career! Before I announce him out here, enjoy the nice video package of his success! Enjoy!
Pariah: Well I don’t believe I need to tell you anymore! Without further adu ladies and gentlemen, please welcome the man, the legend and most importantly, my closest friend, Brian Hollywood!
[Studio audience begin to cheer loudly as “Perfect Insanity” by Disturbed hits in the TV Studio. Hollywood finally walks from the back but very slowly. Hollywood is dressed real nice in a tux but is also carrying a black cane with him. Hollywood makes his way to the podium as everyone is happy but shocked to see him. Hollywood and Pariah embrace each other as Pariah pats Hollywood on the back. The hug goes on for a few moments before Pariah gestures his hand toward the podium for Hollywood. Hollywood stands in front of everyone for a few moments as he looks down at his PWX Hall of Fame ring.]
Studio Audience: HOLLYWOOD! HOLLYWOOD!
[Hollywood smiles as he looks about the in studio audience. He nods his head slowly and waves out to everybody.]
Hollywood: Wow, I don’t really quite know what to say right now. For the first time in my career, I think I’m nearly speechless! Wow. Just wow. I got to say how truly honored I am to be up here right now. Words simply can’t describe it enough.
Audience: THANK YOU HOLLYWOOD! CLAP CLAP CLAP CLAP CLAP THANK YOU HOLLYWOOD! CLAP CLAP CLAP CLAP CLAP
Hollywood: I bet you all are pretty shocked to see me standing here right now. I want to go briefly into that right quick. As you all know I was left in comatose for the past few weeks. Doctors weren’t really sure what was going on. I, for one, didn’t know what happened. All I remember is waking up in the hospital and figuring out why I was there. Of course, it didn’t take me long to get out as I was informed I was going to be inducted here tonight. I couldn’t miss this for the world! I knew one way or another, I was going to get here!
[Audience starts to cheer loudly for Hollywood. Hollywood lays his cane to the side of him and pulls out a notecard.]
Hollywood: Can you believe this? I actually wrote notes for tonight!
[Hollywood stares at it for a second before ripping it up and throwing it behind him to the studio’s liking.]
Hollywood: What the hell, I wasn’t much for notes! Truth is, you can’t read your heart off a note card. You express it. Truth is, I can’t thank you guys enough for your incredible support over the years. I wouldn’t be here right now if it weren’t for you guys. I mean..you guys have gotten me through alot over the past several years.
Studio Audience: HOLLYWOOD! HOLLYWOOD! HOLLYWOOD!
Hollywood: I haven’t just been through a lot, you guys have as well. Loved me or hated me, you guys have stuck it out to the end with me. You guys have watched everything transpire here over the years and you all watched a nobody become somebody. It was always my dream to perform in front of all you. It’s really hard to believe how I’m up here now as a Hall of Famer and I was just a rookie what seemed like yesterday! You guys mean a lot to me, and I have no one else but you to thank for that!
[Studio audience begin to cheer again as Hollywood starts to wipe a tear from his eye.]
Hollywood: This has been one hell of a year for me alone. I didn’t think I would come back after being sidelined with an injury. Ever since that day, I haven’t taken another day for nothing. Then, things after Never Say Die happen. They are freak accidents and you really can’t predict them. It’s all part of life. We deal with them and we move on. However, with your guys support, I was able to be here tonight.
[Hollywood pauses and takes in more cheers from the audience as he begins to transition.]
Hollywood: PWX has always been home to me. I have never given half or anything under best. I have always gone out night in and night out and given you fans the best I could offer. I didn’t care if I was injured or what the situation was, it was to entertain every single one of you guys! I look back several years and I see how far I’ve come. I’ve done a lot of noteworthy things here. I came into this business idolizing guys like Michael Norcia and Violent K. Who would have ever thought I’d be joining them in the Hall of Fame today? It truly is amazing. That and my fellow friend, Noah Hanson, was inducted tonight. I want to congratulate you my friend. It’s truly an honor to go into the PWX Hall of Fame with you. When you think about it, it’s kind of ironic. I began my career associated with you and here I am being inducted with you. It’s a great honor and I’m glad we got to create some great memories together and for our fans. They truly make it worth it.
Studio Audience: S&M! S&M!
[Hollywood smiles and nods his head as he points out to the audience.]
Hollywood: From the bottom of my heart, I love you guys! I want to thank everyone in PWX’s past and present for making the things I did, possible. I want to thank guys like Noah Hanson, Jacob Wright, Brad Jackson, Corey Gein and yes, Darin Zion, for making my experience in PWX great. But most of all, I’d like to thank one of my best friends and fellow brothers, John Pariah. Without you, a lot of things may not have been. You’ve been by my side all these years and we’ve been through a lot together. You never gave up on me and honestly are a reason on where I’m at today. So I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart, you made it all possible. I also want to give out a thank you to JPO, a man who made me standing here possible. Without that man, you wouldn’t have PWX. You wouldn’t see a hall of fame and we wouldn’t have gotten to do the things we do without his guidance. JPO is truly an inspiring person and I don’t think he gets as much thanks as he deserves.
Studio Audience: THANK YOU JPO! CLAP CLAP CLAP CLAP CLAP! THANK YOU JPO! CLAP CLAP CLAP CLAP CLAP
Hollywood: You know, being inducted in the PWX Hall of Fame was something I’ve always strived to achieve. It wasn’t something that I ever expected. You’ve got to do a lot of great and big time things in this business to be called to the Hall of Fame and I’m truly honored to be called to it. I’ve given back to PWX more than anything I’ve ever given to before. I’d give to PWX all day if it meant taking away from other events in my life. This is truly home to me and to be called into its Elite is truly an amazing thing to me. For as long as I’m able, I will never stop giving you guys what you want. This is far from over! I stand before you all with a promise. A promise to always give you as much as my body will allow me to. I know I’m not much right now, but I am going to strive to get back to full strength again and get back to what I enjoy doing. Entertaining all of you! You all have shown that I have so much more to offer still and I will continue to give more to PWX! Thank you all so much for supporting me over the years and what a ride it’s been. Let’s hop aboard a bigger ride and just speed things up! Again thank you all for the endless support and thank you PWX for the great recognition. There’s no where else I’d rather be than here at home! So as your new PWX Hall of Famer, look to the horizon, for yours truly Mr. Executive himself, Brian Hollywood, is just getting started! THANK you!
[“Perfect Insanity” by Disturbed reprises again as Hollywood slowly backs away from the podium. The in studio crowd are all on their feet and cheering for Hollywood. Hollywood grabs his cane and limps back a bit as he waves with a smile to the audience. He wipes away a couple more tears as Pariah comes back and hugs Hollywood again. Noah Hanson comes on stage and meets Hollywood as the two embrace for a hug. Hollywood, Noah and Pariah raise each others arms up high in the air as the studio crowd cheers loudly.]
Solo: What a rewind we saw tonight! That pose between Hollywood, Pariah and Noah truly is historic! Hanson and Hollywood joining Pariah and others as PWX Hall of Famers! Sure is a great ending to our PWX Rewind! Folks, you all have an awesome night and we’ll catch you again next week as we get back to the action! Good night everyone and I hope you all had a very Merry Christmas!
