As the inaugural UGWC Hall of Fame class, three individuals have been selected for induction, based upon their contributions and impact not only on UGWC itself, but their greater impacts on the three organizations whose history and legacies are as much a part of UGWC's history as anything that has happened since.
Representing Global Impact Wrestling, the Hall of Fame inducts Declan Prescott. Not only the founder and original owner of GIW, Declan Prescott was also the first ever Global Heavyweight Champion. It is without dispute that had Prescott never created GIW, that UGWC would not exist today. Prescott would have a significant impact in the first year of UGWC itself, becoming UGWC's first Outlast tournament winner, capturing the World Heavyweight Championship as a result, and held the Cooperative Championship alongside Andy Savana as well, leading to his retirement match against Travis Roberts at Horizons. UGWC welcomes Declan Prescott to the Hall of Fame.
Representing the Lock Wrestling Federation, the Hall of Fame inducts Alan Fernandez. Debuting in LWF in 2001, the man known as the Talk of the Town won nearly every championship for which he was eligible over the course of his career, and accomplished nearly everything there was to accomplish in the promotion, including victories in the 2002 Lord of the Ring and Outlast tournaments. Through it all, he was best known for his partnership as well as his feuds with Fear, the man better known today as Phrixus Deimos, and with whom he won the Cooperative Championship during a brief run in UGWC. Following his untimely passing in 2012, he is inducted by his longtime friend and partner. UGWC welcomes Alan Fernandez to the Hall of Fame.
Representing Pure Pain Wrestling, the Hall of Fame inducts Raenius. The Resident Evil thrived in the PPW environment, holding multiple championships dedicated to his vicious style of fighting, and left an impact of friend and foe alike. An iconic member of the Covenant, it was alongside Dirge that Raenius brought about the dismemberment and near destruction of GIW, leading directly to the creation of UGWC. His most recent appearance, feuding with Alex Stein in late 2013, leaves hope that one day he may compete in a UGWC ring again, but if not, his impact has nonetheless been remarkable, with numerous active competitors having homages to the Resident Evil as part of their arsenal to this day. UGWC welcomes Raenius to the Hall of Fame.
