This is where the people who won awards will give their acceptance speeches. Think of it as the same thing as someone accepting an award at an award show, but they couldn't be there so they do a live/recorded thing on screen. This will be seen as a show on the eVolVe network, with the feed going from person to person giving their little speeches, celebrating their award win, etc. They will already have their awards (thinking they could've received them on the last show, visiting HQ, anything) and you guys have complete freedom to do whatever you want with the video..

The camera cuts on to the at home setting inside of a Miami condo. The camera gets a view of the scenery at first before walking further into the living room area where Jason Mentez sits in casual wear a white button up which is completely open showing his muscular build underneath against a white beater. To the right of him on the plush couch he's sitting in is the HKW 2015 Wrestler of The Year trophy. The HKW Global Championship Title sits on the other side of him on the couch glimmering among the numerous lights. He smiles at the camera before leaning forward to the coffee table in front of him coming back into view with a blunt in his mouth lighting it up before kicking his feet up. Exhaling the first hit in silence enjoying it.

"Like to first thank the HKW Weedman for this free look of the ooowwee good shit. Definitely wasn't expecting dat good look so thank you.

Jason chuckles to himself a bit before hitting the blunt again and exhaling.

"On real doe this a honor. Wrestler of the fuckin year son. A real humbling honor. A man's pride is in his work if he aint doing it he aint a man."

Jason stops thinking to himself hearing him making that statement.

"One of the few things pops told me. Only thing I think he ever said on 100. HKW, I live yall man. I state that and I'm serious. Other people speak it but don't mean it. They don't really mean the work and dedication it requires. They talk the good game. There's only a few dat really do it. I'm glad that yall see it man. I really do n I'm thankful that yall do. I'm thankful to every single fan that ever bought a ticket. Every pair of eyes that watch us. Every person that works to make us successful. I'm thankful to every person in management that agreed to took a chance on a nigga from Ridgewood. I'm following after the Queen herself Ms. Felicity Banks. That means something to me. The mantle in a sense has been passed on in the right way. Pillar fuckin' shit..."

Jason smirks saying that knowing how it will be received by some. No fucks given as he takes another hit and exhales in his glory.

"To my family...they was the foundation before I could even make my own. I love yall and thank yall for every second invested in my hard headed ass. Mom, for all our goods and bads I love you. Te amo infinito. To my girl, to renew a man's spirit and faith. There's nothing stronger than this. I thank you forever and I love you. To my wrestling family, True Business...we rep and we stay loyal thru it all. We takin over. It never changes. Brick building to Empirical shit. The movement. Arkia Fisk-Jones, I will willingly take a bullet for you mama. You know it. I love you. Thank you. This all a reflection of you. It comes from you. To all of my enemies, detractors, and competition...I rose because of you. I stand here because of you being my hardships so aye it's still fuck you but thank you at the same time nah mean?"

Another hit of the blunt chuckling lightly before focusing and holding the smoke in feeling it all over and exhales.

"I'm holding this bitch down as best I can until the next year rolls around and yall look to the next one in line n even den I'm making sure whoever they is are the caliber they pose to be. The Queen caliber. The Hardest caliber. Saviors of this shit. That's the challenge out to each of yall. This..."

He picks up the trophy in his free hand still taking his time to hit the blunt again before exhaling holding it up.

"This...don't come to those not deserving. It comes to the workhorse. The lifesblood. The soul of this company. If you aint bout dat work need not apply. Stay in your section. But for those of you looking for that real. Work. Work. Take the lumps n work harder to come back stronger cause they gon come no matter what you think. This isn't given, it's earned. You either gon earn or pay and as you can see."

He gestures around himself at his expensive environment with the Global title at his side and the trophy in his hand. He picks up the Global Title after placing the blunt down in the ashtray off camera. While exhaling the hit he speaks the smoke filling the camera lens.

"To earn is sweet. Get on my level."

You can still make him out thru the haze of smoke and with a little laughter he smirks holding the Global Title as well as the HKW Wrestler of the Year Trophy.

"Que coger engreído por un momento. Gracias HKW. Gracias."

We see Onyx and Felicity sitting on some yoga mats looking as though they just got finished doing a work out themselves. In front of them were four knoxer awards. Champion of the year, match of the year, and WTF moment of the year. Felicity takes a drink of her bottled water, as Onyx picks up the Champion of the year award and looks at it.

Onyx Payne: You know… I think you should present this to me, Felicity.

As Onyx looks at Fel, it looks as though she was about to spit up the water she just tried to swallow.

Onyx Payne: I presented it to you last year so... maybe you can present it to me this year? /she asks with a shrug/ It will be like everything is coming full circle.

Onyx holds out the award to Felicity as she looks at it for a moment and then back up to Onyx who had this sweet, kid like smile on her face, as though if Fel did this one thing, her childhood dream would come true.

Felicity Banks: Are you being serious right now? Because I can’t tell…

Felicity stands up and slings her empty water bottle across the gym, getting it to land in an empty garbage can to the far side of the gym.

Felicity Banks: KOOOOOOOBE!

She makes a ‘swoooosh’ noise and glances down at the awards in front of her, then shifts her attention over to Onyx.

Felicity Banks: You know, I would present you with that award, but...yah. I left my Vanna White dress at home. That, and I’m not that great at being all like… A champion is someone who has reached the top of the mountain after dedicating months to their craft. A champion is someone who never gave up, and continued to fight the good fight after months, and even YEARS of trials and tribulations!

Felicity stops, squinting her eyes as she smirks at Onyx.

Felicity Banks: That was actually pretty good.

Onyx begins to laugh nodding her head in agreement.

Onyx Payne: Never give up… NEVER SURRENDER! Thank you but, since you're the veteran and the most accomplished… /she gestures her hand towards Fel/ I think it’s only appropriate that you go first.

Felicity rolls her eyes, never being much of a fan of acceptance speeches. Hell, just last year Felicity had Fran accept an award for her mostly due to the fact that she didn’t want to be the one to give out a speech. Thank you’s and showing gratitude were still tough for a spoiled brat such as Felicity. Not wasting any more time, Felicity hunches over, picks her awards up and turns back to the camera.

Felicity Banks: Thanks for voting for me. These awards are gonna go right next to all of my other ones and…

She stops, tapping her index finger off of her chin.

Felicity Banks: Actually they can’t go where the others are because there’s no space left. Uhhh, shit. Well, fuck. Now I have to figure out where to put these things!

She lets out a silent grunt and sets the awards back down on the floor.

Felicity Banks: But, yah. Thanks for voting for me and all that fun stuff. If it wasn’t for you fans....

She hesitates, chuckling before she speaks back up.

Felicity Banks: I’d probably still be where I am today because I’m self made and I’m the epitome of excellence so there’s that. Plus, I wasn’t exactly the nicest person last year but I still managed to win three awards. With that said, I’ve found a whole new appreciation for you fans out there over the last few months and I can honestly say that HKW wouldn’t be where it is if it wasn’t for you so thanks for that and keep watching! It just gets better from here.

With her words finished, Felicity mumbles something under her breath, making sure she said everything she wanted to say. She turns back and looks at Onyx.

Felicity Banks: Yah, that’s about everything I have to say. Your turn.

Looking down at her awards, Onyx puts her index on one and tilts it a bit as she lets it fall back in place. She wasn’t good at speeches. She didn’t even have to do one when she won manager of the year last year and when she present Felicity with Champion of the Year last year she was able to rehearse what she was going to say over and over that and it also helped that they had a teleprompter.

Onyx Payne: Hm…. Ah…. I would like to first thank all the fans who voted for me, because without you believing in me throughout my wrestling career, I wouldn’t be where I am today and I certainly wouldn’t be sitting her nervously accepting these awards./nervous chuckle/ Um.. I would also like to thank my husband Joey Perello, and all my friends Brandon Banks, Felicity Banks, Selena King, Annie Zellor, Maggie… and I am sure I am missing a few other people but, Thank you are for believing in me, training with me, giving me a serious kick in the butt when I needed it… sometimes literally.

Onyx looks over at Felicity and leans over nudging her shoulder with her own.

Onyx Payne: And I would like to give a special thanks to you, Felicity. Without you, I wouldn’t have won any of these awards. The fans may have voted but, I won the title from you, and because of you I got the best match out of my wrestling career. We fight hard against each other, he fight hard with each other… We even accept awards with each other. Thank you.

Fel smiles and looks around the gym.

Felicity Banks: This is beginning to get mushy. I was trying to avoid the mushiness because it’s been awhile since I cried last so I know it’s gonna happen soon. No more mushiness before I start crying!

Taking a few steps back, Felicity turns around and grabs another bottle of water before she turns back to Onyx.

Felicity Banks: Right, we need to get back to what we were doing. I have a three on one handicap match on Defiance and I can’t be wasting my time babbling. We need to go to a bar and get into a bar fight, beeeteeedubs. I think that’s the only way I’ll be able to figure out to take out multiple people at once. And that Bigz Bronson guy is huuuuuuge. Sooooooooo….

She takes a swing of her water and shrugs her shoulders.

Felicity Banks:We’re gonna have to find the biggest, baddest peasant at the bar and start with him.

Onyx begins to stand up not looking too keen on the idea Felicity has.

Onyx Payne: Felicity…

She begins while scratching the back of her neck.

Onyx Payne: I don’t think that’s a good idea. Remember what happened last time we started a big brawl? We ended up in handcuffs... and behind bars. Ever since then I made a promise to Joseph that I wouldn’t do anything like that again so… Can’t we just go back to the gym, and I can swing some punching bags at you or something?

Fel shakes her head from side to side.

Felicity Banks: Nope. We’re in New Jersey now. There’s no chance of us getting arrested here.

She turns her heel and steps toward her Jordan knapsack, strapping it around her shoulders before she looks back at Onyx.

Felicity Banks: You coming?

Sighing, Onyx picks up her sling backpack and shrugs.

Onyx Payne: What kind of friend would I be if I let you go by yourself? Besides, I can at least try and keep you out of trouble right?

Felicity scoffs, finding amusement in Onyx’s words.

Felicity Banks: Right…

A slick grin forms on her features as she hunches down and picks her two awards before glancing over at the camera one last time.

Felicity Banks: Toodles!

As Felicity goes rushing off, Onyx stares at her for a moment before scrambling to gather all her things, including her awards,

Onyx Payne: Wait up!

As she goes she about trips over some work out equipment, which causes her to almost fumble one of her trophies as the camera follows them to the gym door where Onyx finally catches up to Fel and the camera begins to fade as the to begin to walk down a familiar road. Trouble Boulevard.

Jackson Magnum

The scene opens with Jax Magnum sitting on the dock of the California bay looking at his Knoxer award for ‘one to watch for in 2016’ which is beside him. He reaches over lifting it up giving it a once over.

JAX MAGNUM: I’ve never really wanted to gloat over awards or anything like that. Really not who I am, so I’m not going to tell ye how awesome I am or how people in my life made this possible. You know my story, chose to believe it or chose to doubt me. Doesn’t matter at this point, but what does matter is what this award stands for.

Jax holds the award close to him as he looks out at the ocean with a smirk.

JAX MAGNUM: It means for the first time in my life expectations are high. What it also means is that everyone wants what I have, but in truth it isn’t going to be easy to take. The likes of Levi, Ashley Sullivan, Jimmy Page, and every other member of that roster is going to try to make 2016 their year. They’re going to sit back and wait for me to fail. It’s been a common theme in my career. That said, you aren’t taking anything from me. Chris Strike with all your history and accomplishments, you aren’t taking a damn thing from me. I’m not satisfied with an award saying that I’m going to be great in 2016. I’m going to be great in 2016. Not because of an award, but because it was mine to begin with. In 2015, I came into HKW as a joke. Someone that everyone was laughing at, as I got my arse kicked week after week. I was told I sucked, then I was told I wasn’t good enough, then I was told I wasn’t on that level. Over and over again I heard all it. Every word sinking in, every word chiseling away at me, letting it eat me alive. Until it was almost unbearable. But I embraced the grind, gave everything I had to this company, and I’m a mere step or two from shattering every glass ceiling in this company.

As Jax’s voices lowers almost into a whisper. His eyes focused in on the sky.


JAX MAGNUM: 5150, Jason Mentez, and Emilio Vialpando enjoy these moments. These last few moments of taking shots at me. The last few moments I’ll allow you to have the air space to do so. I know you’re laughing now, making a joke of me even as I prepare myself to take you down; one by one. That’s alright, I expect it. You still look at me as a joke. Which is going to make it all the more satisfying when I take everything from ye. Mentez, I hope ye cherish that Global title while ye have it, because the second Joey figures out exactly how good I am, it’s coming to me. Emilio enjoy yer last Destiny main event. I’m going to make sure that never happens again. And ladies, yer names are only being mentioned because of the fact you’ve been the most outgoing offenders. Since day one, you’ve belittled, berated, and insulted me to the highest degree. I made a promise long ago, do ye remember it? That I would never forget that, and in 2016 I will send a message to ye both that you’ll never forget. So laugh it up. make yer jokes, and enjoy your moment in the son. It ends soon, and superman won’t be saving shit.

Jax takes the award out to the end of dock and drops it into the water.

JAX MAGNUM: As much as I appreciate that, I didn’t need an award to tell me where I’m going. I’m going to outwork, out fight, and outdo everyone in my path.I know where I’m going, straight through everyone on the Subversion roster, straight through everyone that’s doubting me, and I’m going to make that chance Brandon Banks took on me, the best decision he’s made in his fecking life.

Jax gets upbeat for a moment finally breaking into an outlandishly creepy smile as his voice becomes upbeat and joyous.

JAX MAGNUM: So live, laugh, and love guys. Take yer shots now because I’m willing to accept it at the moment. I have a hybrid hell match to worry bout. Just remember, I’m making a tally of everything ye say. Every word of it, I’m letting it sink into the depths of my soul. I’m going to let it sting, ache, and burn. And then, I’m going to return the favor to each and every one of ye. Not with my words. Nah, I’ll send my message through actions. That award was yer warning, the Subversion ye all asked for, is already here.

Jax waves as he reaches into his shirt pocket and pulls out a pair and turns away from the camera.
