There is a mixed reaction from the crowd who seem to understand the gag more than the presenters do
Kanye: I just want to say, Ashton Drake was robbed of the Most Shocking Moment of the Year. All ya'll don't know shit

Tom Brady: Luke Wolfe
Kanye West storms off the stage as Luke Wolfe takes the stage
Luke Wolfe: Im not sure what to say about this *laughs* I think when you go out week in and week out and no one can touch you inside that squared circle you begin to rub people the wrong way. In some instaunces, when I damned your heroes inside the ring, cage, or inferno... I guess people hate you for that. But I never lied to any of you. I never lied to any of you, I always backed up in the ring what I would say, and that almost always pisses people off... especially when you speak the truth, because the truth hurts sometimes. But when I set out to create change in 2016, i did whatever I had to. And everything I did, no matter how cruel it appeared to be, I did for the greater good. If that makes me hated so be it... In this business you can make friends, or you can win. Ive already got some friends, Im here to win, and winneres always find a way. So most hated? I'll take it, it means people are taking notice that things are changing around here. Thank you
Jimmy Fallon: From the upcoming Baywatch The Movie, please welcome Dwayne The Rock Johnson and Alexandra Daddario
Timberlake: And from the movie Passengers ... Chris Pratt and Jennifer Lawrence
The Rock: For years, I paid my dues in the WWE ... I was loved and hated, then loved and hated again ... round and round we went. I just want to add, what these guys do in the EWC ... every match they put their lives on the line. It's tough. I couldn't do what these guys do.
Daddario: I've been a fan of the EWC since I was a kid. I remember going to the events, cheering on people like BigMac and Memphis Reigns ... guys the fans like me wished we could emulate. We hate to see them in pain, but we love to see them give everything they have
Chris Pratt: In show-business the line between loved and hated is a thin one. One minute they love you and the next, I'm not good enough to play Indiana Jones
Fans laugh
Jennifer: Tonight we embrace the ones we all loved the most in 2016. Here are the nominees for Most Loved Wrestler of the Year
MOST LOVED WRESTLER OF THE YEAR
- Ashton Drake

The Rock: Ashton Drake
Ashton Drake stands up surprised ... the fans around him cheer him on as he takes to the stage and accepts his award
Ashton Drake: Yea, man. It’s a damn pleasure to win this award because honestly, I love you all too. As I have said so many times, I consider myself more of a fan than a superstar in this sport. That will never change. The EWC has been good to me. The EWC Nation has been my family. With the loss of my immediate family, you all have really had my back and I appreciate that. Over the last 6 months, I have met so many of you fans across the globe. Together, we have all formed an Empire that has refused to be forgotten. We are the Rogues of the sport, those who dare to question the norm. We are the future. Thank you. 2017 is going to be a big year for us all. We are going to turn the damn industry on it’s head and make history, man. The new generation of the EWC is here to stay.. and we are proving that every day as we raise the bar in that ring. We are the EWC.. and this is OUR story. Thanks so much.
The fans continue to cheer as Ashton exits the stage along with the presenters
Announcer: We will be back with more ... after these messages

Fans laugh and cheer

Ben: Amis Shelton
Amis looks on with a surprised look on his face as he stands up to a rounding applause
Amis takes one look at his prize before placing it on display for everyone to see on the podium. He takes a moment to let the applause from the audience die down before speaking into the microphone.
AMIS FN SHELTON: Thank you. It's been quite the year for Amis Shelton both on a personal level and a professional one. In my ten-eleven years as a wrestler, never have I been so successful, I built a federation from the ground up and became a three time World Champion and then I got the offer I've been working my entire life for, and that was to join this magnificent company.
Amis nods as the applause resumes.
AMIS FN SHELTON: When I first joined, a lot of people wondered, why did I join the Future Stars of Wrestling brand? Someone of my skill and ability could have easily have made an impact on the main brands. The answer was simple in the beginning, it was about creating a legacy, so in five or ten years I can look back and say, 'damn I really did accomplish something good here'. But after a few months, my answer changed from Amis achieving something great, to the entire FSW brand achieving something great.
People used to think that FSW was just the developmental show. In theory it's true but the reality is that it's so much more than that. FSW has the talent to rival the main shows, Otaki winning the Rumble proved that, although I still think it should of been me. FSW is making noise and people are finally starting to listen, and I am proud to say that as the FSW Champion, I am the one orchestrating that noise.
More applause is heard from the crowd.
AMIS FN SHELTON: So what's next for Amis Shelton? I'm the FSW Champion, FSW Wrestler of the Year and well uhh.. Newsflash I'm also gonna be a dad for the first time, so there's that too. You'd think that after everything that's happened, I'd be ready to slow down a little. Well to that I say: you couldn't be more fuckin' wrong. This is just the beginning for Amis Shelton, one award is nice but this time next year, I want all the awards. Thank you.
Amis raises the trophy above his head as those in attendance rise to their feet and applaud the FSW Wrestler of the Year.

RDJ: Every year there are Super Heroes .. sorry .. Super Stars who stand out. This year was no different

Luke Wolfe smirks and stands to a big cheer as he walks to the stage
Luke Wolfe: I can't say that Im shocked that I won this. But that doesnt make it any less of any honor. I said all year that Rampage was my brand, and I feel like I represented our brand as the very best in all of wrestling. I can go on about winning streaks, and title defenses, but at the end of the day it is all about our brand and what we represent... Talent, perseverance, and attitude... and no one in the world is better than Rampage, and Im proud to accept the award for Rampage wrestler of the year. If 2016 was impressive, 2017 is about to turn up the temperature even more. And I know everyone will be ready for it... Thank you...
Helena Bonham Carter, Johnny Depp and Robert Downy Jr backstage
Justin Timberlake: Please welcome to the stage, Wolverine himself ... Hugh Jackman
Jimmy Fallon: And the greatest QB of all time ... a four time Superbowl Champion ... Joe Montana
Crowd cheers loud as Hugh and Joe come out
Hugh: First of all, I am honored to be on the stage with such a legend, you truly are the best of the best Mr Montana
Big cheer
Hugh: Monday Night Brawl has been the flag-ship show of the EWC since 1997. We have seen many of the greatest stars of all time get their start on BRAWL or have cemented their legacy on one of it's 469 episodes
Joe Montana: To stand out as best among your peers is a very special accomplishment. These three wrestlers were nominated by their peers. This is a display of the utmost respect. All three are already winners, but as we know ... without a ring, it doesn't mean a thing
Big laugh from the crowd as Joe laughs to himself
Hugh: Here are the nominees for BRAWL Wrestler of the Year .. 2016
BRAWL WRESTLER OF THE YEAR

Hugh: Jaden Xplode Hunter
A big cheer is heard as Xplode stands up and heads to the stage. He gives a big hug to Joe Montana and shakes hands with Hugh Jackman.
Xplode: Wow, Joe Montana .. incredible .. You know .. it’s funny. I came into this company as a Rampage guy. I enjoyed it there. The brand treated me well. I joined Brawl upon my return to the ring because it has always been looked at as the top show in the industry. It was also important for me to destroy all of the critics, and at the time, most of the top talent was over there as well. My love for Rampage never left, but all the same, Brawl has been great. The stories that we have told.. the history that has been made. I will never forget it. Thank you for this award. It means a lot to me. In 2017, I will be competing on BOTH brands.. so this will most likely be the last time that I win this. I am glad that it happened though.
Thank you.
Announcer: Coming up next ... Shadow Man's Hall of Fame Induction
EWC PRIME Superstar Sway takes a picture with a fan
COMMERCIAL BREAK
We return as a video montage featuring the legendary career of Shadow Man is shown
Justin Timberlake: Ladies and Gentleman ... please welcome to the stage, EWC Undisputed Champion ... Jaden Xplode Hunter
Big cheer from the crowd
Xplode: Where the hell is the tacos?!
Big laugh from the fans. Shadow Man looks on and mouths "What ... I forgot the tacos?"
Xplode: The king of all tacos is about to hit wrestling heaven… and there is no tacos?!
When Shadow Man asked me to talk on his behalf as he entered the hall of fame, I have to admit, I was shocked. If you all knew our history, and I am sure that the fans do, you would know that our relationship started off as rocky as it could get. You see, when I joined the promotion, Shadow Man was on top of the world, slinging tacos and waving the EWC flag proudly for all to see. He was the absolute standard for excellence in the industry, a role model for all to follow whether you were a rookie or a veteran. That’s right… I said it.
Anyway..
I had a pretty good year and somehow found my way into the final two in the Rumble in the Bronx. JayCee… a douche bag who I love greatly.. and I were squaring off and I had him right where I wanted him. Well, Shadey came skipping down to the ring like he was known to do.. and he somehow screwed up my match and caused both JayCee and myself to eliminate each other, thus causing me to have to share the win. From there, I told myself… I will retire that chump.
…and ironically, I did.
Somehow though, along the way, I came to respect that man. I mean, I blew up his taco truck. I also set his Mexican Fiesta Dance Party on fire. I mean… I really screwed with that guy but no matter what I did, he just kept on smiling. He was impervious to my attempts at destroying him and making him unhappy. You have to respect that. So, that being said, Shadey and I became close friends. He is one of three people in this industry that I would ever refer to as that.
I have learned quite a bit from that man. His ability to overwhelm his opponents by shifting gears to match the challenge was something that I have always admired. His skill at getting in his opponents heads by just opening his mouth is legendary… no one will ever deny that. He is a HUGE reason as to why the EWC is as successful as it is. You know, he constantly refers to me as the Greatest of All Time.. but in my opinion…
…that reference belongs to him.
I mean that.
Shadow Man looks on with tears in his eyes
Xplode: On a personal level, Shadey was willing to entrust me with holding that flag and carrying it forward. I respect that. You are all missing the greatness that he brought to the ring. The mystery of whether he was really Ryan Reynolds or not is a question that will never be answered… but I bet you all know the answer anyway. He is one of the all time greats… and the hall of fame was BUILT to house talent like him. So please put your hands together… and welcome the newest entrant into the EWC’s Hall of Fame. He is the GREATEST OF ALL TIME…..
Shadow Man.
A huge standing ovation and cheers are poured down on Shadow Man as he takes to the stage. Shadow Man gives Xplode a huge hug and thanks him for his kind words
Shadow Man: Greatest of all time ... while I appreciate the sentiment Jaden, you are very much the Greatest of all time. You honestly, truly are .. thank you for the kind words and for doing this
Shadow Man pauses and looks out to the crowd who are still cheering him on
Shadow Man: The hardest words I ever heard uttered to me ... "We can't find your penis" ... but a very close second ... "You will never wrestle again". It's not the first time I've been told that, but it was the first time I listened. This is an honor I never thought would ever come my way.
I've spent the majority of my career being over-looked or being called a has-been. Last year was the hardest I've ever worked in my professional career. I became Hardcore Champion, Tag Team Champion, World Champion and won the EWC Rumble .. all last year. I've won King of the Cage twice. I have lived, breathed and bled EWC for my entire career.
Shadow pauses as the cheers pour down
Shadow Man: No one will ever give it to you in life. It's not always all unicorns and cocaine. You need to earn it. As Champions, we need to set the example. We need to never back down. We need to step up to the face of adversity and say "I wont be sucked in" and lead by example. The other night I gave in and sent out some nasty tweets to a pest. Someone who has been targeting the EWC, our fans and our Roster for months. In a moment of weakness and in a drunken stupor, I gave in and blasted him on twitter.
It was the worst feeling in the world. I was immediately disgusted with myself after doing it. So I left twitter. I did it because I obviously don't have very good self control. Self control is an important thing to have when you become an ambassador for something greater than yourself. Guys like Xplode have busted their asses working day in and day out, and to have me come up and ruin what they are trying to accomplish would be idiotic.
We need to ... as Mac always preaches ... set the standard. Be unlike the normal. We are all united. We are all family. I love you all very much. I want to keep giving to the EWC and keep giving back to the community. This Hall of Fame induction means the world to me. I hope people will see my example, to never give up, to never listen to the haters, and to keep a close watch on yourself. Self improvement is an ongoing, never ending process.
The EWC is in great shape. We have a great future with some great stars. And as for me .. I will never stop getting better. With your help, love, support and guidance, I promise to give back the best I can. The EWC is the best place a person can be in. I challenge anyone to find a better place. You wont find it. You might think you have ... but that's just the vodka talking.
From the bottom of my heart ... thank you. I love you all. EWC 4 LIFE!
Thank you
Cheers and a standing ovation ensue as Shadow Man walks off the stage with Xplode and we cut to commercial break

Max Carter backstage
Justin Timberlake: Welcome back ... Please welcome the star of Netflix's The Ranch .. Ashton Kutcher, and his lovely wife, star of the breakout comedy Bad Moms and my former co-star from Friends With Benefits .. Mila Kunis
Ashton: The EWC is AWESOME. And what makes it extra AWESOME are the ladies
Mila: The Women have risen to power in the EWC over the recent years, and 2016 was no exception. We saw six championships earned by Women in 2016, and they have proven to be more than up to the task. We even had a Woman win Rumble in the Bronx
Ashton: Here are the nominees for Female Wrestler of the Year
FEMALE WRESTLER OF THE YEAR
- Polly Pocket

Mila: Polly Pocket!
Polly bolts to a stand as though her seat was spring loaded. Peter, Polly, and Emma Louise jump up and down in each others grasp so joyfully it’s sickening. Peter and Polly depart the row and go skipping down the aisle, shaking hands and hugging celebrities and fellow roster members who are rooting her on.
Once she hits the main stage she all but sprints to Mila Kunis and gives her a super amazing hug and then does the same to Ashton Kutcher as the award is handed to her. She holds it in her hands, eyes big, blue, and misty. Then, she pulls it close to her chest and looks to the heavens. This happens for a good 10 seconds before she hands it off to Peter and steps up to the podium, her joy-teared eyes on full display and smile blinding everyone in the first few rows.. Behind her, Peter gazes at the prize he has helped Polly attain and is equally emotional about it, tearing up some and rocking it in arms like it is a baby.
Polly: First and foremost, I would like to dedicate this award to Sabrina Osborn. She was my Niece who passed away the week before Rumble in the Bronx. It’s amazing how the end of something so precious can be the fire that starts something precious also. Leading up to her death, I had barely won more matches than I had lost. After I left her wake, I knew I had to make her proud. She was my little mini me. Years from now she would have been in a EWC ring, winning the same titles, winning the same awards. But she’ll never get to, so I accept this award on behalf of her, because her spirit is always with me and drives me. She is one of the main reasons I keep going, and keep winning.
She takes a moment to wipe her tears away and continues.
Polly: I would like to also thank Nurse Kinsley and Alexis Morrison. They are truly excellent and made the awards selection a tough competition. They have been dominant, and have been really super cool punching bags for me lately let me tell ya. *Giggles*. I am surprised that I won this award, given what the likes of Harlow, Alexis, Shelley, Emma, and Jessica Tendonin have done. I’ve learned a lot from these women from being in the ring with them or studying them from afar, and Ruthann’s run as Champion was inspirational. I always learn a little something extra from them win or lose. I’m in elite company with them and I thank all of you fans, from the youngest youngling to the eldest elderbeard, for bestowing this honor upon me and trusting me enough to carry this award and to carry the hopes and dreams of little girls and boys everywhere into the future. And I can only hope to achieve as much as Hall of Famer Beth Harte did, if so I can change the world.
She giggles a little.
Polly: And a special thank you to the unsung heroes who go without thanks far too often. I’m talking about the ring crews and travel agents who build our rings and make sure we have a place to sleep at night. To those in the front office who make sure we get paid… except for Luke Wolfe’s Christmas bonus, but it's okay because he is Luke Wolfe. To all the cupcake makers that I clean out every time I come to town, you’re efforts have filled the bellies of entire rosters, know that! And lastly, I’m thankful for this award because it allows me to shamelessly plug the programs I am working on to take care of those in need. Please visit my website (her website appears at the bottom of the screen) and donate what you can - food, money, clothes, anything. All proceeds will go to help people of your choosing. My website is full of straight to the people donations domestic and abroad. Not a dime gets tucked away like those devils do, who ask you to donate on the main TV networks. Thank you all and I vow to never, ever let you down! VERILY!
Peter hands the award back to her and she dances with it close to her heart all the way off stage to a rousing ovation.

Xplode: Wow ... I am very humbled by this. It is an honor to be named Male Wrestler of the Year, and really, you look at that list, and it's a very respectable list. All I can say is that I will do my best to make an even bigger impact in 2017. This is so very motivating for me. Thank you very much to all the fans for voting. This means a whole lot. Thank you

Jimmy Fallon: Ladies and Gentleman ... please welcome the winner of 13 NHL Awards so far in his career. He is a 2 time Stanley cup winner, and a 2 time gold medal winner. He currently leads the entire NHL in Goals and Points this season ... Sidney Crosby
Big cheer as Sidney takes the stage
Crosby: Being a rookie is never an easy task. So many expectations. Such a new surrounding. It can be very intimidating. If you aren't fully prepared it can even break you. Often times its very hard to break in and become a standout among so many prominent stars.
In 2016 we saw a large number of rookies step up to the task and quickly showed the world they were ready for the big stage. They could handle the bright lights. Some of them tasted the sweetest victory in winning five combined championships in 2016. Others came oh so close, but are on the cusp of greatness.
Here are the nominees for Rookie of the Year
ROOKIE OF THE YEAR
- Ashton Drake
- Polly Pocket
- Drew Stevenson
- Ace King

Crosby: Winners of the 2016 Rookie of the Year are Ashton Drake and Polly Pocket
As Polly’s name is mentioned after Drake’s, the camera cuts to her row, finding her frozen in her seat. A cupcake she was eating falls from her hand onto the floor. Her face says it all - though nominated she never once thought herself capable of winning the award let alone sharing it.
Peter, dressed in an elegant pink full body form fitting man-girl gown, is already on his feet clapping his hands sore. He yanks her up and swats her on the butt, sending her scurrying down the aisle as he follows suit behind her. She nearly blinds the celebrities and roster members with her gigantic rosy cheeked smile as she passes them by, high fiving them.
Drake follows a similar path and is congratulated by many fellow EWC Superstars and celebrities along the way
As Polly hits the main stage, the spotlight envelops her, and she is simply RADIANT in a pleated, ethereal Michael Kors gown, paired with sparkling turquoise jewelry and Christian Doir Beauty makeup. She compliments the attire with her gorgeous blonde locks done up in soft, French braids. She is a picture of splendor befitting royalty beyond reproach.
Polly buries her hands in her now beet red face as she closes in with Ashton. He laughs and gives her a hug, and says some encouraging things to her not picked up by cameras. After a few more seconds, she seems to compose herself and grins really big to everyone, and blows a few quick kisses and waves. Feeling unworthy a bit, she takes a step away and motions for Drake to make his speech.
Drake: First of all, congratulations to Polly, you had an outstanding season and ended it on a very high note at Wrestlefest.
Fans cheer
Drake: This award means a lot to me. I can't thank you all enough for this. Looking at the number of rookies who had such a big impact this year, it's incredible to think it's already been a year.
To have won the International Championship and then the EWC Undisputed Championship was very special.
This was a tough year for me and our fans. This is only part of our story though. 2016 is but one chapter in the long book we will write together. So I accept this award on behalf of all those who came before me, and set the path for me to follow and to all those who will come after.
Thank you!
Ashton steps aside and gives her a smile and nod. She steps up and adjusts the mic to accommodate her short self, while Peter falls in beside her and slightly behind her, rocking his ugly ass pink He-Man haircut.
Polly: Excuse me for a second…
She looks up at the ceiling as if looking for something then sighs in relief.
Polly: Whew! I thought maybe this was some sick joke played by Nurse and Alexis, where they were about to drop a bucket of pig’s blood on me like in that Carrie move. Hehe. Okay everyone, I totes don’t have a speech prepared. Ashton Drake has done FAR more to deserve this moment. He has done things that nobody has ever done, all in the span of 6 months. I am stunned to be mentioned in the same breath as him. So this has caught me off guard.
She reaches out to the award but retracts her hand, feeling unworthy.
Polly: But in that same vein, I am warmed to my soul and big ole heart that all of you fans thought my hard work and constant never give up attitude deserved such an esteemed accolade. I mean, for chrissakes, I am co holder of the Rookie of the Year and I don’t even know how to drive in your steel chariots yet! How crazy! Thank you thank you thank you. I also want to thank President Mac and the EWC as a whole for treating me like family after my bad dealing with another wrestling organization when I teleported into this humbling realm from my home world. They told me to give them a chance. They saw something in me that I didn’t see in myself. And now look at us! Amazing isn’t it?
She shakes her head in awe.
Polly: I didn’t hone my skills on my own. I had a lot of help from my adviser, the wise Peter! He is such a blessing. Ruthann Park Hunter hooked me up with a wrestling school she is at and the fine folks there have aided me in becoming a super mega awesome grappler. Dragahsa Omega, Derek Wellings, Alexis Morrison, Emma, and so many others have helped me behind the scenes to become a better grappler and wiser person in general in their own ways. I thank you all. And don’t let this award be a year end thing. Let it be a beacon of what lies ahead in 2017, as I become even better, reach higher levels, bring more awareness to the disadvantaged, and continue to be the living embodiment of the my favorite saying… IF YOU CAN DREAM IT, YOU CAN DO IT! VERILY!
She grabs the award at last and holds it aloft for all to see, and she smiles impossibly big. Then she turns to Drake and hands the award off to him.
Polly: Your family is smiling down on you. Know that. You deserve to possess this the most, so here…
She releases it into his custody and bows respectfully to him, then departs the stage smiling and waving at everyone.
Justin Timberlake: Please welcome to the stage, the lead singer of Godsmack .. Sully Erna, and the former co-commentator of BRAWL .. Jeremy Piven
Sully: Firstly, thank you to the EWC and President Mac for being a constant supporter of our music, and for using our music frequently in shows
Big cheer
Sully: Ali once said to "Suffer now and live the rest of your life as a Champion". Truer words could not be said about the following nominees. They all suffered at times throughout their careers but persevered in order to achieve the greatness they achieved in 2016
Piven: These three Champions redefined what it meant to be a Champion. All three putting on impressive win streaks. Xplode and Hawkins both gave us Championship reigns that will go down as the greatest and longest in history. These records will never be touched again in my opinion. All three of these men are superhuman.
Sully: Here are the nominees for 2016 Champion of the Year
CHAMPION OF THE YEAR
- Xplode
- Luke Wolfe
- Griffin Hawkins
Piven: And the winner is

Everyone laughs
Sully: The winner is ... Jaden Xplode Hunter
The camera pans to Xplode who looks surprised as he stands to the cheers of the fans
Xplode: Thank you.
You know, I give a lot of crap to all of the past champions in the EWC’s history, but let’s make one thing clear. I have nothing but respect for all of them. If it was not for them, men like me would not be able to do what we do today. This year, I had the pleasure of not only winning the EWC Title… but Unifying the championship between both major brands. I was also able to defeat a few other champions in rival federations as well. I did this because of hard work… and because I believe in our company and what it stands for. Also, if I am to be completely honest, I never would have been able to achieve everything that I had, if it were not for you.. the fans… supporting me day after day. The same goes for the folks in our locker room. Thank you for your support.
Together, this year, we elevated the EWC Undisputed Title into the top prize in the sport. There isn’t a damn promotion in the business that doesn’t recognize our strap as the most prestigious prize in the world.. as it should be. I want to thank everyone who went on this ride with me over the past year. I am grateful for the opportunity to represent the EWC.
Announcer: We will be back with the nights final award ... after these messages
COMMERCIAL BREAK
Jimmy Fallon: It's now time for the nights biggest award
Justin Timberlake: To announce the winner of the 2016 EWC Wrestler of the Year ... please welcome to the stage ... EWC President ... Danny Mac
There is a huge uproar of cheers as everyone stands to welcome Mac to the stage
Mac pauses as he waits for the cheering to die down and for everyone to sit back down
Mac: I want to thank everyone who is here tonight, and to all those watching or streaming this show at home. It was a spectacular year for the EWC. The amount of talent we have on our rosters from top to bottom is the best group we've ever had and they all deserve a hand
Cheers and clapping
Mac: I remember what it felt like the first time I won Wrestler of the Year back in my HCW days. It was a very special moment for me, and its a moment I will never forget. It meant so much to me because of who voted on the award. It's one thing to get an award from the fans, because this is who we do it for. All of you at home, all of you here, this is why we do this
Cheers
Mac: But it's another thing entirely when you win an award that was voted on by your peers. The people you work with. That's what makes Wrestler of the Year so important. The winner of this award was hand chosen by people he or she works with. So this is very special.
To look at this group of five nominees, it makes me smile. I smile because we could have easily added more to this list, and I also smile because these five are so incredibly deserving of this award. I could give reasons for each of these five to win. Please join me in watching footage of our nominees
Video footage of Ashton Drake, Xplode, Harlow Kinsley, Luke Wolfe and Griffin Hawkins is shown
Mac: It should surprise no one that all of these nominees were champions in 2016. Xplode, Hawkins and Kinsley held onto their titles for most of the year. Xplode has the longest reign of any EWC Champion in History. Hawkins never lost the TV title all year. Kinsley put the X-Divison back on the map. Drake became the first rookie EVER to win the EWC Championship. And Luke Wolfe held both the US and Tag Team Titles for the better part of the year. Everyone deserving. But there can be only one.
For the final time in 2016 ... here are your nominees for Wrestler of the Year
WRESTLER OF THE YEAR

Mac: Oh wow ... what a night for this guy ... Jaden Xplode Hunter
Xplode is stunned for a moment as he slowly stands and soaks in the cheers before making his way to the podium one more time
Xplode and Mac hug on stage as Mac hands Jaden the award
Xplode: Wow.. I didn’t see this one coming. You all have to be getting sick of seeing me win these things by now. (Laughing) Well, I am going to level with you all here. Two years ago, I stepped out of retirement and returned to active competition. I did so because I felt that I had unfinished business in the EWC. My aim from the start was to win the EWC Title and own this damn company like no person before me. What took place instead was completely unexpected. It’s rare in our profession for history to choose US. Usually, we are left chasing history instead. I played a part in a story that will stay with me for the remainder of my life, and I am grateful for that. I think for a person to really do business in our industry, he has to be willing to give himself completely to the product. I hope that I have done that.
I hope that I have finally earned all of your respect.
This award is one of the greatest achievements that a person can achieve in the EWC. I do not take that lightly. Thank you for supporting me.. and that includes my opponents as well. Yes, I gave all of them shit… but without them, there would be no me. Thank you to the front office, the staff… and especially President Mac. He never made my road to the top an easy one. I appreciate that. He will always have my respect. I also want to acknowledge Ruthann for always standing by my side. She always believed in me. I appreciated that far more than it looked.
Lastly, I want to thank the one man that made this all possible for me. My uncle.. and former manager… Terry Jones. Everything that I am, everything that I have achieved.. it’s all because of him. I know that he is here, watching me right now. He is probably nodding his head and saying “We are just getting started.” While that isn’t true anymore… he was right along.
In truth though, this award doesn’t really belong to me. If it wasn’t for the top tier talent that I have faced, and the skilled promoters who back us, there would be no Xplode. This year belongs to us all.. this award… the same. We did this together. So give yourselves a round of applause. We owned the industry.
Xplode goes to shake Mac's hand once more, but Mac heads to the mic instead
Mac: Before you shake my hand Jaden ... I have one more thing to announce.
Xplode looks over at Mac confused and intrigued
Mac: I'm happy to announce to you and everyone else here tonight ... that you will see yourself enshrined in the 2017 Hall of Fame as a first ballot hall of famer. Congratulations
Xplode is floored and has a shocked look on his face. He and Mac shake hands as the crowd continues to cheer
Justin Timberlake: Well, that about wraps up this years Award show. Thank you all for tuning in
Jimmy Fallon: You don't have to go home, but you ... what am I saying, go home
Justin Timberlake: Good night everyone!
