*Dressed in black formal pants, shoes, his leather jacket and a "Sponsored by Zantazm" t-shirt, Matthew Oliveira begins walking out onto the HoF stage set in a nearby performance hall. The first level, ground, is filled with the performers, staff, and their respective families of GHW, all in formal wear one way or another. The stage has it's podium with a GHW "crest" on it, and a few metres back is a modern-looking desk with a few chairs behind it. To the left is a decent-sized screen and over to the right is the entrance. Oliveira, hair actually slicked back and presentable, approaches the stand as "Mein Teil" plays at a reasonable volume. The members of the audience, along with the fans in the second level give a respectful round of applause, and the weekend-GM and Fighty fighty person himself stands at the microphone, his entrance music fading out, the applause draining away.
"Thank you... ladies and gentlemen, employees, co-performers, we are here today to show our gratitude to just a few members of our organization. To show and to accept, and to bring them into a newer level of wrestling immortality. One year ago, along with a few weeks extra, Gods and Heretics -or Glory and Honor- debuted on television, the Internet, and in the media nearly world-wide. We have brought forth some of the most amazing moments, emotional conflicts, and unbelievable acts in that time. Now, that time can be cemented into what is known as the GHW Hall of Fame."
*A round of applause ensues, forcing Matt to momentarily stop.*
"In our first class, we have been given an immense, yet extremely small amount of inductees this year. However, that does not mean that those unannounced here tonight will go unrewarded and their thanks unheeded, because some time, you will have your shining moment like the two men here tonight."
*The camera pans along the first few rows of stars, from LRey, to Trickshot, accompanied by a few loved ones. Noticeably is a pregnant Sang, a small glimmer of a tear in her eye. Dave Carter sits in the second row, white suit and glasses, Emblem in his own dressings, and other various familiar faces.*
"So, as the one of the VERY proud inductors this evening, I present to you the family, to the fans, and to the world our first 2007 Hall-of-Famer...in a quick video...Zantazm."
*Matt guides his right arm over towards to screen, the camera paneling to a direct feed of the video...*
****************************************************
*The screen starts off black, then the name "Zantazm" fading in in a white printer font. The sounds of a old movie projector begin playing, and it begins with a scene from a year passed. Zantazm is in the ring, in-suit, on the first episode of MNC.*
"Welcome everyone, to G-H-W!"
"Bodies" by Drowning Pool plays, showing clips from early matches versus Trickshot in ladders, Striker in LMS, and various in-ring events from early months.
(OOC: I will finish the compilation AS SOON AS POSSIBLE)

"From personal experience, I have learned that Z is a very wise, strong-willed, and fair-minded person both in and out of his GM position. Sure, he's easily distracted...*cough* Hyper *cough* but contains his composure is some of the most stressful, and downright insane situations. I recall first hearing from him in mid-November about Salvation, and then had meetings with him about the December pay-per-view that following month. As time went on, I suppose he saw potential in me as he did everyone else, and eventually I got my job as it is today. To me, without Zantazm there would be no Matt Oliveira. No MNC, no FNM, no glorious pay-per-views, nothing. We probably wouldn't be here if it wasn't for him, and it's out of his hard work, dedication, and love for the business that drives him."
"So, the time has come for that man to take his stand and cement himself into our Hall of Fame. Without further hesitation and anecdotes, I present you all the boss, General Manager, leader, role model, and true friend...ZANTAZM!"
"Bodies" by Drowning Pool plays, Matt gesturing towards the entrance. He picks up the plaque that lay on the top of the podium and hold it in his arm, and the audience stands and applauds, the second tier of fans cheering and whooping, one side of the crowd starting a "Thank You Zant-azm!" chant.
