I had a successful run of international ROH World Title defenses in
Switzerland, Austria, and Canada. I received warm welcomes in each country,
as the ROH name is becoming widely recognized throughout the world. A
special shout goes to the UWA promotion in Toronto as they went the extra
mile to make sure the Champ was taken care of the way I should be. All the
promoters have expressed interest in having me back so look for me to return
to ROE (Europe) and UWA (Toronto) sometime this year.
I also defended my title this past weekend down in Florida at FIP. They
were two tough matches, especially against fellow GenNexter Rodrick Strong.
While it was a competitive match it left no dissention in the ranks of
GenNext. We are as cohesive as ever which is bad news for those in ROH.
This Saturday I have my work cut out for me as I defend my ROH World Title
against "The Notorious 187" Homicide in Asbury Park, NJ. Homicide won this
opportunity when his team the Rottweilers won the ROH Trio's tournament and
each member got to pick the match of their choice. His choice was obviously
going to be a shot at the ROH World title. I admit that Homicide is one of
the top wrestlers going today, and many feel he has the momentum going into
this match after he pinned me clean in the finals of the Trio's tourney, but
let me say this: I will do whatever it takes to retain my title, and
Homicide, that's exactly what it will take to get the belt off my waist.
My new message forum will be up very soon. Also new pictures, shirts and a
ROH and non-ROH compilation DVD will be up for purchase soon as well. Keep
checking back for all the goods. Take care and safe travels.
