Cowards.

That is the only, the absolute ONLY, word that can be used to describe my “friends” Davey Richards & Eddie Edwards. The American Wolves talk a big game but, at least in this case it seems, there is no action to back up their words. See I spent quite a long time alongside these two, watching them grow as wrestlers. Hell, I have known Eddie for as long as I’ve been involved in wrestling and watched him develop from a chubby kid with dreads into one of the most superb athletes in the world today. I first met Davey when he debuted at “Destiny” back in June of 2004 and I even then I knew there was something to that guy that would take him far. I can never, would never, take away from the wrestling ability of both of these men, but it’s their moral center…their heart that I question now.

Punch me in the face, kick me in the ribs, threaten me all you want; the mistake Eddie made was in calling out Hero and Claudio after I simply tried to congratulate him on his back-to-back successful World TV Title defenses. Here’s the video for those of you too lazy to find it yourselves:

See Eddie, Davey, that was your biggest mistake, and I think I can put the blame for that on hubris. Pride f’n with you as a great movie once put it. Despite all the facts in front of you, you both still think your the best team in ROH. Now I recall a moment on HDNet where I warned Davey that he would get hurt if he didn’t do the right thing and, what a shock, he didn’t listen. What happened? Well go watch HDNet to find out, but the unadulterated truth is this…I saw fear in your eyes in those moments Davey. For the first time in the history of your ROH career, for the first time in all of the video tape I have watched of your endeavors, I saw fear. You knew you were outmatched and, for the first time, outclassed and even the timely arrival of Eddie wasn’t enough to shake that fear. With that fear in your heart and mind Davey, The Kings of Wrestling already own you.

I thought maybe Eddie didn’t have that fear but then I look at the calendar since the two of you decided you were better off without me and I see a great many ROH events with at least one of you absent. Eddie challenges the Kings and Davey runs to New Japan. Davey comes back and Eddie runs to NOAH. Oh look at this, when Eddie comes back to ROH, Davey goes BACK to New Japan. Are those the actions of two men ready to face the greatest tag team in ROH history?

I say no.

Those are the actions of two men stalling for time, and trying desperately to find a solution to the problem on hand. You will have to own up to your actions Davey…Eddie…you will have to pay the piper and Eddie gets to do it right in front of his friends and family no less. So please, sit back and make game plans, and hope you get to Plymouth intact. But accept that fact that it won’t make a lick of difference. I know they pair of you like no other, guaranteed better than you know yourselves. But you…you can only guess at what the KoW have in reserves.

I also have no doubt that Kings will still be champions so the fans can rejoice when The Wolves get their shot, but mark my words, it will be the last tag title shot they ever get. That night in Mass. will be the death blow for the Wolves, and the repercussions will be felt at “Final Battle” when Davey proves…once again…he can’t do it without me when he loses to Roddy or to Chris. Afterwards, I’ll be the guy standing on the front steps of The Manhattan Center yelling “I told you so” to every fan that’s spit in my face and celebrated my misery.

Your heads are on the chopping block Wolves, the guillotine is coming fast…

…SH…
