Induction:
The murky sounds of Down’s “Bury Me In Smoke” rip through the arena as “The Greater Evil” walks out onto the stage to a mix of applause and booing. He lifts his massive right hand up and waves at the crowd as an amused smirk spreads across his face. He walks past the podium and down the stairs, where he extends his arms to Raenius’ wife, the beautiful Kathryn Edict and they hug warmly before he kisses her on the cheek. They release and he kneels down, picking up the equally beautiful young girl sitting next to her, her and Raenius’ eight year old daughter, Mariko. He lifts her up and they hug before he kisses her on the forehead and sets her down gently next to her mother. Both of them smile warmly to him before he turns and points at Mickey Dragon, who looks slightly macabre in a crimson suit and Chassie Fear, who looks resplendent in a beautiful white dress. They both point back and smile widely before applauding, after which he turns and walks back up onto the stage before stopping behind the podium.
“Ladies and gentlemen, we are here tonight to honor the greats of not just Unified Global Championship Wrestling, but of professional wrestling. There have been some great talents in the history of the company as there are today, but none of them, regardless of what they have done while plying their talents there have had the gravitational influence that the man who I am up here to honor has.”
He pauses as a loud round of applause breaks out in the arena. It causes a large smile to spread across his face and he joins in it. It lasts for a solid five minutes before abating, after which he resumes speaking.
“I have been proud to call this man my friend and my brother for over a decade. In that time we have been through a lot. We have had our ups. The greatest of them has included watching our families grow up with each other, sharing the GIW Tag Team Championship, dominating the industry and forcing GIW to merge with Lock Wrestling in order to form the company that you now see before you. In addition, I have watched him influence others in meaningful ways, defend the honor of his family and friends and protect them from harm.”
Cheers once again break out across the arena. Once they quiet down, he continues.
“We've also had our downs.”
He pauses for a moment.
“Although he and I have never been enemies, his personal struggles have put profound strains on our relationship. In spite of that, never once did we ever consider genuinely betraying each other. Brothers don’t do that to each other and those who claim brotherhood with a man and then stab him in the back are no more than dishonorable and selfish cowards. You know who you are. I'm not going to sully my voice by speaking your names.”
A few brief boos rain out from around the arena, to which he just grins snidely.
“The truth hurts. Deal with it.”
This causes a few more boos to be thrown at him, as well as a few “non PG” phrases. He shakes his head scornfully and continues.
“In spite of those bad moments, there is no other man I would rather have by my side in a wrestling ring and there are few others I would want at my side over him outside of one. Regardless of the public image that he may portray, I know the real person. I know the man himself and he is by far one of the greatest men I have ever met and I am not only honored beyond proper wording to be giving his induction speech tonight, I am also honored to have the privilege of calling him something even more important...”
He lets the statement hang in the air for effect for a few moments. A smattering of applause ripples across the arena at his words.
“I am honored to have the privilege to call him “family”.”
He pauses again as an even louder eruption of applause seizes the arena, shaking it to the walls. Once it dies down he turns towards stage right and holds out his arm.
“Ladies and gentlemen, I give you the man himself, “The Resident Evil”...
“RAENIUS !!!”
He turns and faces the stage right as “Vacuity” by Gojira begins to blare through the arena, only for it to be drowned out the second that “The Resident Evil” appears from backstage. He strides out onto the stage with purpose and shares a large smile with “The Greater Evil”. Raenius’ appearance is striking in a black suit, with his head shaved and his beard neatly trimmed. The two men shake hands at first and them embrace as brothers do, speaking to each other and smiling as they do. They release it after a couple of minutes before Dirge grabs Raenius by the wrist, raises his arm overhead and points at him with a huge smile on his face. He holds it there for a few moments as Raenius is showered with raucous cheers before he steps back, puts his hands together and bows at “The Greater Evil” before walking off of the stage and taking his seat between his twin daughters.
“The Resident Evil” walks up to the mic and pauses.
To date, Raenius has not submitted an acceptance speech. Should he do so in the future, it will be included here.
