00:17It's hard to put into words how much love, appreciation, and gratitude I have for you.
00:23You took a chance on a young, unknown Borrigua from New York City
00:27and changed the trajectory of my life and career.
00:34You shaped and molded me to make sure that I was ready to take on anything this business was going
00:40to throw at me.
00:41You gave me a foundation to build upon that would ultimately allow me to give my daughter the life that
00:48she has today.
00:50And for that, I'm eternally grateful.
00:57But I wasn't the only one.
00:59There's a long list of Latinos in this industry, from the past and present, that you helped discover and influence.
01:08Many, like we say on the block, that you helped put on and made sure that they didn't just have
01:14a platform for their talent,
01:16but to represent proudly their Latino roots and culture.
01:21And at the same time, showing us to always speak your mind, stand up for what's right, and fight for
01:28yourself no matter what.
01:30And aside from all those things, you did it all with an unshakable swagger that only an OG like yourself
01:38can possess.
01:39Like you would say to me, now it's my turn to return it.
01:43The true epitome of a scarecrow, because you're always outstanding in your field.
01:50But this time, you don't stand in a field.
01:54Because this year at Bound for Glory, you stand and take your rightful place into the TNA Hall of Fame.
02:03Gracias y te quiero mucho, Kona.
02:06Hasta la muerte y después.
02:16A true pioneer and legend of the business, couldn't have said any better than Mike Santana.
02:22So at Bound for Glory, we know we will have ODB, the Amazing Red, and now the incredible Kona joining
02:30the TNA Hall of Fame.
