Together, we are the IWA World Heavyweight Champion , baby !!! Ric Flair, you were a hellva champion and you are a hellva man . I don’t have to like you , but the Dream damn sure respects you , believe that !! Anytime , anyplace you want another shot . It’s all yours .
Rick Rude, I hear you talking . Well I ain’t hard to fine . I’m the man dressed in black . Living large like Johnny Cash and carrying the World Heavyweight Champion on his shoulder . The MVP !! Donny Muraco !! Probably the man most responsible for the Dream getting another title shot . I would love to go one on one with you for this title . The list goes on and on and Jeff Cobb , don’t think I forgot about you .
All of you sitting here tonight . All of you watching at home . Always , always chase your dreams . Never give up on them . Never stop believing in yourself . Never let anyone tell you , you ain’t good enough . You ain’t pretty enough , you ain’t rich enough . Because all of you are the very best of who you are . All of you no less than perfect .
There are gonna be times , this world is going to kick you right in the teeth . Times when every door slams in your face . Times when you say the hell with it and you will want to just hide . Never , ever , ever hang your head . Get yourself up , because you are worth it . And if you need a push . Remember , the son of a Plummer . A boy who dug ditches with his daddy at 9 years old , so sweet !!!
A boy who was told by Major League Baseball he wasn’t wanted . He became a man . A man who they say whose belly was a little too round . Who talked with a lisp . Who was nothing but a hard working , common man. Who was told by men like Ric Flair , he didn’t belong , became the IWA World Heavyweight Champion . He never stopped chasing the Dream and neither should you !!!! Now here it is . The World Heavyweight Title. Who wants . Gordon , Freddy ( kisses Freddy on the cheek ) . Mwwwwaaa !!
