Nigel came to the ring and said that each of these talents and 38 others came to be part of the Dr. Tom Prichard training camp this weekend. The crowd applauded the trainees. He said that Les Thatcher taught him how to love and respect the business as well as the meaning of the word integrity. He said that everything he earned in wrestling started with what he learned from Les Thatcher. He said that they got to learn this weekend from the trainees as well as legends like Dusty Rhodes and Tully Blanchard. He said you hear about the wrestling fraternity but it could also just as well be a family. He said that getting the chance to get in the ring with the legends and work with them. He asked all the students to stand so they could be recognized and announced one of them would be awarded the Reid Flair scholarship tomorrow.

Jim Cornette came to the ring. He said that he was the first guest announcer in history to get an entrance and he wanted to say how much he’s loved being at Fanfest this year. He said that he sat upstairs for 45 minutes with Ole Anderson learning a promo. He said he learned more from Ole in the last 45 minutes than he’s learned in three years. He said this is the greatest wrestling territory of all time because everyone was lucky enough that the stars lined up and the greatest stars in the business were spotlighted for decades. That created the greatest fans in wrestling history. He said that he hopes that this isn’t the last one and joked that “we were all going to slap Greg Price around” and make him re-consider. He then held the ropes open for referee Tommy Young.
