-We get a video for 2024 TNA Hall of Fame inductee Bob Ryder with words from James Storm, Chase Stevens, Andy Douglas, Frankie Kazarian, Sonjay Dutt, Abyss, Jeff Jarrett, AJ Styles, Eddie Edwards, Kurt Angle and more, and showed highlights of his time in WCW as well.
-Eric Young came out to induct him and said that tonight would be special and a man who is directly responsible for it, is Bob Ryder. All of what TNA is and became started as a dream and a discussion amongst friends on a boat in the Gulf of Mexico with Jeff Jarrett, Jerry Jarrett & Bob Ryder. Without Ryder’s attention to detail, TNA wouldn’t be what it is. Young talks about Ryder’s time in ECW, WCW, and then TNA and helped pioneer how the internet sites were used before anyone knew that was a thing. Young talks about Ryder working in the travel department, and he would have answers at any moment to solve any problems. Young says that Ryder that the most important thing about Ryder was being his friend, and calls him a special man who he spent a lot of time with his untimely death hit him and others hard, as they spent countless Thanksgiving together as Ryder didn’t have anyone close to him. Young says Ryder loved football, movies, and television and loved to eat, and the only thing he loved more than those were professional wrestling and, more importantly, TNA Wrestling. Young talks about an idiot backstage claiming he is the King of TNA Wrestling in Frankie Kazarian and claimed even he would say Ryder is the true king of TNA. Young ends by calling Ryder a pillar of this company and professional wrestling and starts a ‘Thank you, Bob’ chant.
-Another highlight video with members of the TNA roster as well as Raven & Tommy Dreamer. Dreamer comes out to induct Rhino, and says in the past when he inducted Team 3D and Raven, he ended up getting attacked and brings up the phrase ‘never the bride, always the bridesmaid’. Dreamer starts with the who in Rhino, the ‘what’ being TNA Hall of Fame 2024, the ‘when’ right now in Detroit, Michigan, the ‘how’ in 1999, Rhino bursting into the scene with speed, size and violent, and the first thing he said to Rhino was ‘how does a neck fit on a guy like that’, and talks about Rhino becoming ECW Champion then moving onto WWE becoming champion there as well. Dreamer lists all the accolades that Rhino did once coming to TNA, and brings out the why being Rhino drinking from the fountain of youth by looking and moving the same. Dreamer says if there is ever a person who represents Detroit, it’s Rhino wearing it as a badge of honor and talking about it always being the Detroit Lions year before bringing out Rhino.
-Rhino talks about his love for Detroit before making a joke about finding a suit that fits Dreamer and how Dreamer said he looks like a movie usher. Rhino makes a joke about his second favorite color being blonde like his girlfriend and some jokes about marrying her. He starts thanking his family and talks about his daughter, and not being there for her during his career. He talks about Jim Cornette bringing him into wrestling, and not knowing how small the ring was and hitting a headbutt, that he intended to be a splash. He brings up Paul Heyman, Dreamer, The Sandman, Sabu & Jerry Lynn and learning from them. He thanks WWE for giving him an opportunity, Triple H, Jim Ross, and Pat Patterson for believing in him and his ability. He thanks Edge, Christian, and Joe Legend for always being his friend, no matter what. He then takes time to thank Johnny Swinger, Scott D’Amore for training him, and Heath Slater. He brings up his brother dying from cancer, and how Slater would talk to his brother and give him life in his voice. He ends by talking about his faith in God and how he prays for everyone to make it here and back safely.
-Steve Maclin bumps into Eric Young in the back and says Bob Ryder would be proud of his speech, but tells him he got this tonight against Josh Alexander. Young says if The Northern Armory shows up tonight, he got his back.
