Here's mine.
I was scared to meet fans after @FIW_Official#ReVolution because they'd never seen me without my mask. I didn't know how they would react, or if they preferred the old me instead.
They welcomed me with open arms. I can't thank them enough for letting me be me.
Thank you for the honour of the @FIW_Official Hall of Fame. I've been sat here for some time now hoping to pen some widsom about the closing of a company that he been active, non-stop, for 15 years.
Congratulations to @JoeinShades on being the last @FIW_Official Champion. A well-deserved honour. I don't think I ever beat him in our various battles, which highlights to me the progress he's made in this business since I first met him. https://t.co/tHaVdVu4Cm
I cannot think of a better individual to recieve this award than my best friend, who has proven time and time again that he is truly one of the best.
Love you buddy. https://t.co/69z47kk31l
It takes more to be the face of a promotion than necessarily being the top champion. It’s about being able to have an incredible match with whoever, wherever. It’s being able to embody & represent the company everywhere you go.
This is why Joe Stanton is Superstar of the Year.
For nearly an entire calendar year one woman defined not just a division. She defined the identity of FIW. Beating the top talent both genders had to offer and doing it with a SPARKLE in her eye.
Bisenshi Sakura is the Hellcat of the Year.
Words cannot express how much this means to me. Winning this award is truly a highlight of my career, and I will do my best to continue being a bright spot in wrestling.
I love you all very much.
Your pal,
The Dream. https://t.co/fC73ciuIqI
A hero isn’t necessarily defined by his successes. How he reacts to setbacks can show you who they really are. No matter the hurtle, the issue, The Dream never let it get him down for long. It’s why he’s so beloved by the fans worldwide.
It’s why he’s Babyface of the Year too.
Evil comes in many forms. In FIW there’s a boogeyman most only speak of in a hushed tone, in fear of his ire. Devastation follows him like an old friend. Victories, championships, other men’s careers, nothing can sate his blood lust.
Bloodbath McGrath is Heel of the Year.
Despite getting knocked down occasionally, the Alpha Wolves always got back up. Their ability to rely on one another & their tenacity in-ring earned some major victories. Their accolades speak for themselves, as will this one.
The Alpha Wolves are the Tag Team of the Year.
Often times a stable will have aspirations of world domination. It’s not often you see a group of talented athletes gather to better wrestling. But the Badd Breed did just that, serving as guards at the gates of FIW for any evil that wandered in.
Why they’re Stable of the Year.
Being a manager in this business can be rough. Though it helps if you’ve got a pretty face, it takes more than good looks to succeed. You need to be able to turn any talent into a pedigree champion.
It’s this skill that very likely has earned Kim Coulter Manager of the Year.
Occasionally there is a wrestler that comes along that has a fantastic rookie year in a company. They capture the hearts and minds of everyone around them in such a way you feel as though they were always there.
It’s why Newcomer of the Year is Starr.
It did not matter how big or how tough the challenge was. If @ProjectHolland3 hit you with this, it was over. It’s in part why he was Rising Champion and Fighting Spirit Champion in 2017.
Finisher of the Year is Erik Holland’s Toxic Avenger.
2017 was a turbulent year for Full Intensity Wrestling. It saw the rise and fall of many careers, many grasps at power. It saw the cementing of legacies and the fans build new heroes. We now look back at some of 2017 with the FIW Awards.
Raise a glass to freedom
Something they can never take away
No matter what they tell you.
Raise a glass to the six of us
The rather unique mix of us
Let's tell the story of tonight....
@ONAMSTARR@JoeinShades @ProjectHolland3 @icecoldtiami @BigSkyFAWA@FIW_Official.
And the night, the night will be torn apart
And I know we won’t fight alone
And the spark that we carry will turn the dark into
A flame, a fire, a light
There must be an end to the darkness
