TITLES AND ACCOMPLISHMENTS

When I debuted, way back in 2003, Rigg might have already been a legend. I can't remember. All I remember is that it took me five years to get into any sort of story or match with him. And I'm thankful that I got the opportunity to do so. He's not that same guy that was around when I first surfaced here. He's a hell of a lot more mature now, but also a hell of a lot harder to compete against. Five years after my debut, Rigg and I exchanged a few PMs, and he said something along the lines of "you really are as cool as people say you are". Ego boost, check, but it's funny, because I was thinking the same thing about John. The dude's got my respect, not just for what he's done but for who he is as a person. He's one of the hardest working people in the XWF. So for that, Rigg, thank you.

I've had plenty of feuds, but the long-running feud with Rigg has been my favorite. He's a guy that you can work with and is up for most anything to build something. He's also a great to work with as a part of something. We've had one of the best feuds in the history of the company. It's nice to actually be working with him instead of against him. You have to bring your A++ game to beat him.

Let's face it, this wouldn't be the Hall of Legends without Bigg Rigg. The man's been here since way back before I got here, and he's still plowing away God knows how many years later. Whether it be his three-year quest for the Universal Championship, his action-packed feuds with The Brand, Cooper, Cyren, BoonDock Saint and yours truly, or his exciting PPV experience, 'What Would Jonathyn Do?', Rigg shows that he cares deeply about this place and puts a great deal of effort and ability into what he does. Easily one of the most fun people I've feuded with. EVER.

When you think of the XWF, you think of Bigg Rigg. The man's longevity is unrivaled, dominating the top tier of the XWF since the very beginning. One of the best friends I have ever made while wrestling, he's one hell of a guy that I'm glad to still know to this day. He's also the toughest competitor I've ever faced inside the ring. Rigg is a relentless competitor who can dominate any match and has proven that for the last 9 years. You wouldn't have enough hours in the day to count the accolades he's accumulated throughout his career, he's simply astounding. Leader is another word that defines Rigg. Rising through the ranks of the XWF, Rigg was always there to offer advice, and was an example of what an XWF Superstar should be. It's been a honor to compete with him both as an ally, and opponent.
- The Brand

Bigg Rigg is like a brother to me you know that? We had are fair share of battle here and there. Like when we caused some trouble back in Dynasty Wrestling where I first met the Big Gambino. Then when I came to the XWF we joined forces with Dominator and became The Revolution! No offense to other Legends here because I have not known you guys long enough Bigg Rigg is the biggest Legend in Darky's little big heart! So, big guy, good luck!

If we divided the XWF Legends into separate organs of the XWF, BIGG RIGG would be the heart of it all. The Riggster has always been around, even since Gecko's first arrival in 2002 or whenever it was. Bigg Rigg always maintains a constant pattern in his work, by keeping it real in the OOC, and keeping it perfect on the RP. Bigg Rigg is the numero uno when it comes to how to be a legend.

I would just like to say that it has been a great honor to compete in the same federation at the same time as most of these men on this list. However, one legend I would like to bring up is Bigg Rigg John Gambino. John Gambino is a true pioneer of the XWF, a great roleplayer and a great person OOC. I had the great honor of taking on John Gambino in my first every pay per view main event at Turning Point and enjoyed every moment of it. I hope that John Gambino continues to do everything that he has been doing for nearing ten years and has a great time doing it.

The Angry Italian. Most people don't know this but besides all of my Blood Hound family, Bigg Rigg is probably one of my favorite characters. Reason being he is packed with so much intensity inside of his character that it produces alot of hatred from within himself and you know I love that style. Granted me and Rigg haven't had a real feud in the times we've been around together - which by the way would take the world of XWF to another level - and we haven't talked much out of character, I still respect what the guy has done in the XWF. So take this as me saying Rigg, you're one of the old school greats and I will have to beat you one day, and I ain't playin' homie.

When I first got into this, there was one name that meant "Legend." That name, hands down, was "The Ladies Man." Bigg Rigg helped me break into this, and if it weren't for him, I wouldn't have ascended to the levels I did. I have him to thank for my entire career and he truly is a legend in this business. He transcends eras in this sport, and is living proof that man can change with time. My brother, my friend, Bigg Rigg is a legend if ever there was one.

It comes as no surprise to me that Rigg made it here on the Legends list.For as long as I've known him which is about seven years, he has for the most part ate, slept and breathed XWF. And that's not an exaggeration by any stretch of the imagination. I can't count the times we've been eating dinner and he's going on about an upcoming match with Steve Jason, Cooper, etc. And it's his love for the XWF and what he does that keeps him coming back, and it also keeps him giving 110%. One of the many things I love about Rigg is that his character is constantly evolving. It seems like once you think you've figured him out he adds another intricate layer to the mix and your blown away. And to be able to continue that for nine years is just amazing. It was his love for this that brought me here, and inspired me to become a part of the XWF. In closing I just want to say Congratulations Rigg A.K.A. my Johnny-Cake!

RIGG has always been one of the best, in my mind. He was a great asset to the reforming of The Initiative last year and a great enforcer for us for a while! He's a great champion and a stand-up fella to boot! His induction to the Hall is well deserved for sure!
- Hunter Ryan

I don't care what you say Rigg, Back in DW Jason Cash pinned you for the 1....2....3.... That was my only Victory over Rigg, but we did have some classic matches... This guy has been a great friend and always seems to be there... Thanks for everything Rigg...
