In 2014, INSPIRE PRO made a wild debut at Austin’s premier entertainment extravaganza, FUN FUN FUN FEST with a three-day exhibition of live pro-wrestling action! During the final day of the event, Inspire debuted an FFF-exclusive accolade called THE FUNGRESSIONAL MEDAL OF HONOR – a prize obtained in an over-the-top BATTLE ROYAL. Whomever took the medal would later be entitled to challenge for any title within the company at any event of their choosing. At 2015’s FFF Fest, the FUNGRESSIONAL BATTLE ROYAL returned, and was this time awarded to THE HOLLYWOOD STRANGLER, who eliminated THE GREAT DEPRESSION in utterly bizarre fashion. Shortly after the Battle Royal, The Great Depression was seen wading into TOWN LAKE. The beastly hooded menace has neither been seen nor heard from since, and the Strangler seems to have gone along with him.
With both men missing and seemingly unreachable, and the statute on the medal’s right to challenge running out, Inspire has made the decision to vacate the prize and PUT IT ON THE LINE at FOREVER in a FOUR-WAY ELIMINATION BOUT – AND THE FOUR COMPETITORS HAVE BEEN NAMED!
As the first Fungressional Medal of Honor winner, STEVE’O RENO’S 
inclusion in this contest was a gimme! Of course, many remember when the young J-Crown champion traded the medal for a shot at then—Inspire Pro champion “Dirty’ Andy Dalton last Summer. This will be Steve’s THIRD TIME competing for the medal, though in a very different format.
The SECOND COMPETITOR, will be former Inspire Pro Champion, “Centerfold” MATTHEW PALMER, still drenched in ultraviolence from his victory over the legendary MASADA. Following the interaction between Matt and Steve at SPLENDOR IN THE SMASH, there’s no denying that bad blood is going to come seeping through the mat once they lock up.
SPEAKING OF PERSONAL BEEF, things come full circle with our THIRD COMPETITOR, “Next Level” Terrale Tempo. Once again back to the FFF Fest of 2015, Tempo and Steve locked up in what was shaping up to be an incredible, neck-and-neck matchup. It was perhaps the first time we’d seen Steve truly flummoxed by an opponent, and in an uncharacteristic display, Steve took a short cut that stole him the victory. It was a shocking turn of events at the time, but in 
retrospect it’s one of many puzzle pieces that form a full portrait of a man growing frustrated with the odds. Though Steve appeared to be remorseful and baffled by his own actions even, Tempo was violently displeased with his opponent. It’s something that Tempo has neither forgotten nor forgiven. Indeed, Tempo still owes Steve.
OUR FINAL OPPONENT is also the BIGGEST: an ULTIMATE threat to any man’s ability to breathe, “The American Psycho” LANCE HOYT returns to INSPIRE PRO with goals of his own in mind. He may also be the most focused, as he is without grudge or agenda outside of getting to a certain set of titles. In many eyes, the highly accomplished veteran is the odds-on favorite to walk away with the medal. Guaranteed, there’s nothing “FUN” about standing across the ring from Hoyt. For Palmer, Steve’O, and Tempo, this could be an FUN FUN FUN FEST! ON AUGUST 14th, FOUR OF THE BEST WITHIN INSPIRE PRO TRAIN THEIR EYES ON THE PRIZE! BE THERE TO WITNESS THE HISTORY AND THE FURY!
