Fox quickly darts back to the mic.
Bobby Barrett sleeps with a Boris Johnson body pillow! Brexit sucks donkey balls! Peace!
Brendan drags him away and escorts him offstage.

Dylan claps along with the rest of the crowd. He walks back up to the podium.
Dylan: At this time I'd like to introduce Jack Diamond to the stage!

Diamond walks up to the stage, soaking in the response. So many of the boys in attendance are audibly booing and he can't help but smile. He'd expect nothing less after the way he made his return, immediately putting the AWF and the entire XHF on notice. Still though, as always, cheers and chants for the Icons can be heard. A Diamond Club chant breaks out as Jack steps up to the podium. He brushes off the front of his jacket and straightens his tie before leaning into the microphone.
Jack: The. Icons. Are. Fine.
Jack backs up briefly with a huge smile on his face, listening to the boos and cheers. He can't help himself, he knows the world of wrestling has once again been flipped upside down by his and Bobby's reunion.
Jack: Yeah... I see the eye rolls and the dismissive looks but there is a reason why The Icons have been in so many of your mouths tonight... simply put, we are the gold standard. We are the greatness that so many of you young guys aspire to be. That is evident tonight, more than ever.
Jack pauses once more, letting that last bit hang in the air.
Jack: Bobby Barratt. The once Prodigy turned Icon. A master of the craft we all know and love. A resume that would make the greatest of the greats jealous of. AWF Champion. AWF Prestige Champion. The first AWF Prestige Champion. XHF Tag Champion. Two time XHF X*Crown champion... the man has done it all. No one has ever dominated a fed, an entire network, like Bobby and I'm not sure anyone ever will again. It is with great pride, and honor, that I introduce my friend... my brother... and AWF HALL OF FAMER... BOBBY BARRATT!!!!!

Be Legendary plays over the speakers as Bobby strolls up onto the stage, a massive grin across his face. Him and Jack embrace before Jack hands over the stage and heads off left.
You know people said it'd never happen. They said that with what we've done, the way we've made our name outside of the ring, there was no way an Icon would ever stand atop the Mt Rushmore of AWF. Jackson Steele, Hyperion, Seth Dillinger.... all names that have been instrumental in the rise of AWF within the XHF Network, but also people who knew which side their bread was buttered on. They knew when to shut up and a take the damn cheque....But here we are! Tonight you witness one of the most decorated men join them on that pedestal...without ever having to bend the knee or kiss arse!
Mumbling is heard throughout the crowd, with the occasional cheer.
So for all of those who put their name to vote me in here, I'd love to say this one's for you but NO! This one's for the fucking Ic-
With that, some bustle is heard off stage left. Bobby looks around just in time to see King Edmund and Ognom storming the stage accompanied by a Referee! His eyes widen as he grabs for his award and sprints off left as we go to a break!

Dylan: Congratulations are in order to Bobby Barratt. Good luck defending that title! We're following this up with our next award, the XHF Network Best Tag-Team Award. He adjusts his tie.Dylan: The Tag Team Division came a long way from 2018. A time when the only reputable team was The Guns, The Icons stepped up and did the impossible. From January, 6 different teams stakes a claim to the XHF Tag Team Championships. Two different variations of the Icons, a deviation known as The Cure... the Convicts, our Stable of the Year LGBTKO, the Nihilists... He smirks.Dylan: ...and Team Viper, baby! The crowd boos, and he laughs it off. He knows they're really just booing Jeffrey Viper.Dylan: The nominees this year are The Convicted, The Cure, The Nihilists, Legion for some reason, and LGBTKO. Last year this award was won by The Icons, and the year prior I took this one home with Steven Dackle as "The Darkness." Who will be the third ever winner of this Tag Team of the Year award? He opens the envelope.Dylan: Your winner, and the 2019 Tag Team of the Year... Dylan: BY FIVE PERCENT OF THE VOTES, THE DETHRONERS OF TEAM VIPER THE NIHILISTS!

~The spotlight moves over to the Nihilists turned Arbiters who are in attendance. Gebin is in a heavy neck brace contraption after what Natasha did so Esmur stands and walks to the stage. He shakes Dylan's hand.~
"Considering how the second half of this year went it means a great deal to be given this award. I don't want to promise we'll be back as my friend here is pretty hurt. But I won't call it impossible. Perhaps we will be back in AWF again I 2020. But for now. Thank you everyone. Embrace eternity."
~Esmur returns to his seat~

Dylan shakes Esmur's hand, and makes way to the podium.Dylan: I say Team Viper was robbed TWICE by the Nihilists. But I can't wait to see them back in action! He claps for the potential return of the Nihilists.Dylan: Our next award is a big one, the Up-and-Clean Award! This one goes to someone who isn't a wrestler, but is always having a major impact everywhere they go! The nominees for this category are... Dylan: Danica Ziko, Derrick Donovan, Gill Snyder, Jackson Steele, Jessie Love, Johnny Bulldog, Mongo The Destroyer, The Ref (from DW), and... Terry Bradshaw. The two former winners of this award, Mongo and Terry are both in contention to be two-time winners, Terry a back-to-back winner. Will either of them take the cake, or will we see someone unusual take the award? :drum: Dylan: The winner of the Up-and-Clean award for 2019 is...
{Spoiler} Dylan: THE REF FROM DESTINY WRESTLING! He pauses.Dylan: Unfortunately, due to a freak accident * cough* Jefe * cough* the Ref is no longer with us. I'd like to ask his successor, Janitor Ref, to accept this award in his place.

-The Referee takes the stage despite perspiring profusely. He wonders to himself why he, the janitor turned referee would even be up here for. The last guy must have had some type of family right? He sets aside the thought when he pictures the last guy. No way someone that ugly would be claimed by anyone. Well maybe Maverick's mother, but still. He looks over the award and then finds the words.-
Ref: Uh...Thanks? I haven't been reffin' long but I'm glad I could honor the memory of the man who was the unfortunate face of Destiny. He was truly something unique, and while he chose the wrong side, what other madman could try and make sense of out of the chaos known as a Destiny ring. I mean, come on people, they had a professional wrestling show....on the moon. Dastardly, I know. However, over these last few weeks, I've grown to love wrestling and the community in front of me. Who else would honor a guy who yelled and slammed his hands on the floor for a living? That's what makes this sport special. Hopefully next year I'll be back on this podium, this time earning this award for myself. But uh....did you guys say Terry Bradshaw was the last guy who won this?
-The referee looks out at the crowd and he realizes they aren't there to honor anyone, just waiting on Terry or Jefe to come kill this man. The referee gulps, adjusts his collar, and bolts off stage with award in hand.-

Dylan stares at Janitor Ref wide eyed as he bolts away.Dylan: A strange fellow that guy is. Now, let's start the next award, the Match Type of the Year award! This one goes to the fed which has brought the most innovative, creative and thrilling match type that has been introduced to the Xtreme Hardcore Federation Network in 2019. The nominated match types are AWF's Fired Up Tournament, MCCW's matches, the Ice Coffin match, the AWF Wargames match, and the Vortex match. Your winner of the Match Type of the Year award goes to... {Spoiler} Dylan: A tie! Again? With an AWF match? Go figure. He makes his way out to the crowd, and picks out a fan.Dylan: Ma'am, which fed do you like more? The righteous, stand up content of AWF or the violent explosive MCCW? Ma'am: Well, I don't like any ultraviolence on TV for my kids so I'll have to choose the pro-LGBT AWF Matches! Dylan: THERE YOU HAVE IT! FEZZIK, GO UP AND CLAIM YOUR REWARD!

Felix walks down and smiles.
Ziko: Thank you so much, everyone! It's an honor to accept this belt. Everything we do, we do in the name of wrestling! Enjoy your evening.
The crowd cheers as Felix walks out.

So: I take it as Armageddon did not get nominated for anything in Destiny Wrestling for 2019? OOC: These are awards for XHF as a whole from 2019. Destiny Wrestling will host their own awards in the next few weeks.

Dylan walks back up. Dylan: Congrats to AWF. Our next award is the Best Match Award. This goes to XHF's Match of the Year; the single best and most thrilling match between the participants, which took every ounce and effort from the 2+ participants involved. He straightens his tie.Dylan: There were five matches nominated for this award. Two from Diamonds are Forever; Bobby Barratt vs Jack Diamond and Anthony Caffrey vs Chris Card. Anthony Caffery vs Vincent Draven vs Rob Arnold. The Tower Match from Night of Champions X, and last year's Rumble match. The first winner of this award was the Four Ring Circus from Night of Champions 9. What is 2019's Match of the Year? :drum:
{Spoiler} Dylan: BOBBY BARRATT VS JACK DIAMOND FROM DIAMONDS ARE FOREVER! ICONS, COME STAKE CLAIM TO YOUR REWARD!

Bobby runs quickly onto the stage, followed by the crew still after his title. He sprints across the stage and grabs the award, quickly stopping next to the mic.
"Jack you take this speech, I'm a little busy!!"

Jack walks up to the stage, trying not to laugh at the predicament Bobby has found himself in.
Jack: Wow. Wasn't expecting to make any kind of acceptance speech tonight, it seems like Diamonds Are Forever was so long ago. Look, truth is, we just wanted to put on a good show and the fact that with all the business end of putting a show like that together... that Bobby and I were able to tear down the house in our match... is amazing. I would have liked to have been the victor but shit happens.
