I got something special here tonight for
a second I want to ask all of you to be a part of.
This is really something special.
There is a saying that heroism is not
only in the man, but in the occasion.
Tonight we are honored to to have
a real hero with us here at NXT Live.
Ladies and gentlemen, please take a look at this video.
>> Running into danger, risking his own life.
We're hearing from the hero bar bouncer who saved lives during the Dayton mass
shooting.
>> The person who pushed him back, saving his life.
The bouncer, Jeremy Ganger, seen here, crouched by the door.
>> If they weren't there that night that fast, what would have happened?
>> I wouldn't be here today.
>> Ganger wanted to delay the shooter from entering Ned Peppers until police
intervened.
The gunman came right to the front door.
>> Did you look at him?
>> Yeah, I looked at him right in the face.
He had a dead stare.
>> He immediately jumped into action to save lives.
Surveillance video here from outside the bar shows Ganger grabbing people from
the sidewalk and tossing them into the bar.
>> The shooter able to kill nine, injuring over a dozen.
>> If he wasn't there, I know I'd be gone.

>> Please welcome to the NXT Arena, a man
whose bravery saved countless lives during this terrible tragedy in Dayton, Ohio.
Please welcome Mr. Jeremy Ganger.

Jeremy, Jeremy, Jeremy, Jeremy,
Jeremy, Jeremy, Jeremy, Jeremy, Jeremy!
[MUSIC]
[APPLAUSE]
[MUSIC]
[APPLAUSE] Thank you Jeremy!
[APPLAUSE] >> I will say the same thing, thank you,
Jeremy.
Here's another thing that you don't know about Jeremy though,
the reason Jeremy is here.
He spent yesterday at the Performance Center.
He spent today at the Performance Center.
He's here tonight.
Because Jeremy is one of us.
>> [APPLAUSE] >> Jeremy has
been a sports entertainer for the last 12 years.
It's what he does, which just means he is one of us.
We brought him here today to be among his brothers and sisters.
Here in NXT and in front of all of you.
>> [APPLAUSE] >> Now normally,
we reserve things like this for Super Bowl Champions or World Series Champions.
But you're a man whose heroism far surpasses anything
that can happen on a field or in this ring.
>> [APPLAUSE] >> And
that is why we'd like to make you an honorary NXT Champion.
>> [APPLAUSE]
>> [APPLAUSE] You deserve it!
[APPLAUSE] You deserve it!
>> Ladies and gentlemen, let's here it one more time.
>> [APPLAUSE] >> For Mr. Jeremy Ganger.
