Why make an angle out of this? Just tell Elgin to f*** right off and be done with the over grown babyheaded nothing.

Haha, wow, the passive aggression.

I just can't see this being an angle. There's no viable authority figure to pin that email on to make a villain out of, and really it's becoming harder and harder to tell who the good guys and villains in this story even are, Elgin's looking like a bit of a crybaby at this point and ROH are looking like assholes too.

[Magic knows Black Lives Matter]

f***'s sake, Elgin isn't even that good. Let him go and quit riding his nuts like he's this great worker.

I just cannot see ROH and Sinclair, especially their legal department, letting Elgin do all this is it was real. Plus a lot of the stuff they are asking of Elgin stinks of storyline with them wanting him to put over Jay and the title, absolve ROH and the rest.

That 5 star rating from Meltzer was the worst thing to happen to this guy's ego.

yeah, ok I agree with the Brock Lesnar UFC title and Bobby Fish winning a kickboxing match as publicity comment, except for the dip, I liked this teaser, this is the first time I've ever saw any real emotion out of Elgin, I think if he would focus his frustrations and anger on his promos he would do better, kinda like Austin and Pillman did in ECW

Same here. I'm with Elgin on that one.

from Elgin's facebook:

This is what I just received. I was threatened with legal action.


Hey,

We already have the flight bought (which you should have gotten already). No room to eat the costs. It will all be fine and you can come back and get back to normal. There is really no choice because if you are not in Florida it will get messy and we don't want that.

We want to finish this out and then we can see what to do next.

In Florida we will do a match and an interview. In the interview you need to apologize and be sure to reference Kalamazoo by name since it is a TV market. Do NOT mention the visa situation. Just say that you have had personal issues that kept you away. Reference the World Title and say you respect Jay Briscoe. It doesn't need to be long but we need to make sure you talk about your remorse for missing events, etc.

Lets just do this the easy way and get through the tapings starting fresh. You have been great here for the last couple years and it is in all of our best interests to keep it going like it was before. I don't want to see you make another mistake so it is best to listen to us in this regard.

Thanks

I hope it's a work because if its not Elgin is a gigantic idiot and is gonna get his visa pulled and himself deported. This whole thing is taking me from an Elgin fan to someone who thinks he's an idiot to me thinking he's becoming Davey Richards 2.0

Dear Joe Koff,

Please consult with Cary Silkin and the ROH wrestlers of the time about the experiences with "talent agreements" with Jarrett's former promotion, Total Nonstop Action.

Sincerely,

Fans who remember how said agreements worked out for ROH

remember when Chris Hero was working for ROH again? that was a great day

Well, this time ROH isn't affiliated with someone who's wrapped up in a child abuse sting or pulling out PPV deals out of nowhere.

Hero didn't want to sign a contract with ROH.

[SCCB Was Told To Do Steroids]

The WORST way to deal with an employer threatening legal action is to post an olive branch on Facebook.

I'm pretty sure the MLBPA wouldn't appreciate this, if Elgin's dream does come true...

INTERVIEW WITH RAYMOND ROWE
One half of War Machine on the comeback trail..



The tag team of War Machine, Raymond Rowe and Hanson saw a meteoric rise to stardom in Ring of Honor in 2014! Quickly gaining a name, steamrolling the competition and taking proven tag teams like ROH World Tag Team Champions reDRagon and former champions The Briscoe Brothers to new limits! Fate stepped in on August 12, 2014, when Raymond Rowe was injured in a devastating motorcycle accident.

Raymond, Thanks for the time. You've been very quiet since your injury. Can you take us back to that night and fill us in on the accident?

“Being quiet is my nature, as you saw prior to this accident I didn’t need to do a lot of talking. All my talking has always been done with my hands, my legs and my physicality. To give you an answer though, another driver was texting and went through a stop sign, putting her directly in front of my motorcycle. I didn’t have time to react and I hit the side of her car, I was going at least 40mph. The impact threw me over the handle bars and through the back windshield. The first thing through the windshield was my face.”

Can you list the injuries?

“Yeah, I broke my left thumb. I shattered the humeris in my left arm on impact. My nose was broken and I received a deep laceration over my left eye when I went through the window.”

Once you were able to grasp the magnitude of your injuries, what were you feeling?

“When I turned around and my arm was swinging freely and I could feel the bones pretty much floating in my arm and all I could think was,

“How long is this going to keep me out of competing in Ring of Honor”.

“The EMT’s and Emergency room doctors were shocked I never lost consciousness. I must have heard 100 times how I was lucky to not be paralyzed or even dead. All that stuff was forgien to me. My heart was beating, I knew who I was and I immediately started thinking about how long till I’m back in the ring. It’s been my motivation the whole time. “

Can you give us insight on your conversations with your doctors and how you feel your rehab is going?

“My doctors keep repeating, Ray you have to be patient. They don’t understand the desire I have inside, this is very hard for me. Sitting around is not who I am. I’ve been active since my arm was wrapped. I’ve been doing squats and other exercises that help keep me active. I made it through major surgery and now I’m rehabbing. Rehab is incredibly humbling, yet it’s a frustrating experience. Simple things that I took for granted are now very challenging. I just entered the portion rehab that allows me to start rebuilding strength in my arm and again the doctors are stunned by where I am.”

How do you feel about your partner Hanson and his recent run in on Ring of Honor Television with The Kingdom?

“Watching from the sidelines is the hardest thing I’ve ever done. Good arm, bad arm, no arm, I want to be in there side by side with him destroying anything that’s in front of us.”

“Hanson is doing what I’d expect, he is a warrior. The Kingdom doesn’t have what it takes one on one to handle him. What they are doing right now is not good for them, it’s not really good for anyone. When I see my brother being attacked, you guys are just rattling the cage of an animal that you will never be able to handle. When that cage is opened and I return, everyone who has wronged War Machine will pay a mighty price.”

You're a special guest this coming Saturday night in Lakeland, Florida. What can we expect out of you once that music hits and you're back in front of the ROH fans?

“Expect to get a taste of the rage that is building within me!”

One last question, where do you see War Machine in 2015?

“Before my accident, we were just finding our stride. We had just gone toe to toe with the most decorated team in Ring of Honor, The Briscoe Brothers. That match in Philly was a war and just a small taste of what we bring. I should have died in that wreck, but I didn’t. It wasn’t my time. This process has taught me that 2nd chances aren’t promised. I learned that you can never hold anything back. When I return, War Machine will hit the ground running. Believe that I am bringing every drop of pent up anger and frustration! I should have sympathy for any tag team that gets in our way, but I don’t. 2015 will see War Machine rise and become new Ring of Honor Tag Team Champions!”

Well Elgin has a history of talking before thinking it through like he doesn't have a filter. Someone mentioned something interesting, I can't see this being an angle, does roh have a figurehead anymore? It would be funny if Joe Koff played the heel boss only because he would look like a deer in the headlights kinda like Jim Crockett Jr.

At least he hasn't buried Delirious like Davey did lol. I liked his Highspots preview because he sounded pissed, it made me think if Elgin was a legit dumb guy or just a gimmick.

[andrew8798]

So it seems it was a work. So the worst version of the Pillman worked shoot

Person at the show

He's acting like a heel towards the audience.

Yep Elgin is here cutting a promo trying out a new persona. All a work.
