The Seattle Times and EEW.com are both reporting a large collection of the rabid Seattle based EEW Fanbase gathered around the famous Seattle Monument, the Space Needle (built for the 1962 World's Fair), as it was graced by local royalty.

Immediately following the rowdy and violent Illegal Viewing Pay-Per-View, newly crowned EEW World Champion Kelly King 2.0 visited the monument, just as he had previously promised to do early on in the show, in the case that he won the title. 2.0, a Washington Native, is a very proud local celebrity, having grown up in Covington. Making his way to the Space Needle, he was seen celebrating with family and childhood friends, before making his way up to the Space Needle. He paid management of the Space Needle extra money to only allow him and his friends access for a certain amount of time, and also requested that he ride the elevator to the top separate from his friends.

2.0 had a late dinner and any fans who waited at the bottom of the Needle were allowed to come up after, where 2.0 commenced an impromptu Autograph signing, as well as the following interview with EEW.com.

EEW.com: So... When the King comes home, he comes home in style, eh?

2.0: This whole night has been an experience, and I don't ever want it to end. This place, this city, this state... they mean a lot to me and to share one of my greatest loves, this business, with one of my other greatest loves, this city, is an honor.

EEW: At the show, you promised you'd hold the title high above the city from the observation platform. Is that what you were doing when you were up here all alone?

2.0: What I was doing up here... well thats private. It was for me and only I and the kind general manager of the Space Needle will ever know. Thank you, to her, once again. I will however pose for anyone who wants to take that picture.

EEW: Fair enough. How does it feel to have finally made it to the top? Do you think that EEW will finally start to respect you?

2.0: I don't want to put my foot in my mouth about anyone respecting me. Harli, the former champion, does at least. I respect me. I respect this title, and I will prove that to anyone who questions is. How does it feel to be EEW World Champion? Its... amazing to finally be at the top with one of, if not THE, most prestegious title in the business today. I am the first new champion after a year.

EEW: Did you know Harli was attacked after your match with him, by Jed?

2.0: Really? No, I didn't know that... well, it sounds like Harli and Jed have no love lost between them. Harli, when you're done with him, you can have that rematch you wanted. Any time.

EEW: So what changed your mind about all these fans here in Seattle? You seem to say one thing and then do another.

2.0: Well, you could say the same about the fans really. I got on their bad side tonight, but a lot of the people here are still happy for me, still respect the competition Harli and I had, still love me. I will always love this city, no matter what its condition. This title, also... okay well I've been very angry these past months, this past year, and this title has put me in the best mood I've been in in forever. That probably has something to do with it.

EEW: A lot of people recently have attributed your rise in EEW to Chrono's influence. What does that make you say?

2.0: Anyone who has paid attention to me recently knows that I attribute Chrono's rise to power to ME.

EEW: And what did you think when he showed up at the end of your match?

2.0: Guy wanted to be in the spotlight, obviously. He's got the right guy on his side... I just hope he knows that even he can overstay his welcome in the King's Court.

EEW: Any words for EEW?

2.0: People can watch Drown this week for that.

EEW: Well, we'll let you get back to entertaining your friends and fans. I didn't know you were such a comedian.

2.0: There are a lot of things EEW doesn't know about me. Maybe they're about to find out.

The Space Needle was open late, and before 2.0 left, he did as he promised, and posed on the observation deck with the championship above his head.
