August 21, 2010 "The Makings of a Varsity Athlete"
Newark, NJ
Segment 1:
Our show opens with a promo by Bryan Danielson who comes out and cuts a promo on his epic return to Ring of Honor and thanks the fans for nothing but their support from the moment he left ROH, to the moment he went "elsewhere" and to the moment he's come back to ROH. He says that he's watched on and kept a close eye on ROH as Kevin Steen and his goons have caused nothing but hell for the ROH locker room. Danielson confirms that he's signed a full time contract for a return to ROH. It's time for ROH to reach national level with the debut of the television program coming in January 2011. Danielson says that he HAS to be the ROH World Heavyweight Champion again for that. Danielson will be the face of ROH as they head to the next generation.
Danielson comments on all of the acts of SCUM and calls them cowards and nothing but psychopaths attempting to "kill" the company that he helped build and he won't stand for it. Danielson says the acts in which these men are doing to get ahead of the competition is crazy and needs to come to a stop. He calls Jimmy Jacobs a "loser" who is still hung up about Tyler Black's clear distain for his former lifestyle and now Jacobs has attempted to.. murder his former tag team partner by stabbing the back of his head with a piece of metal?
Kevin Steen, Steve Corino and Jimmy Jacobs come out from the back and mock Danielson standing at the ramp. Steen says to Danielson he needs to keep all of their names out of their mouths. Kevin Steen says that Danielson isn't going to do a damned thing. Steen mocks Danielson for not being able to make it in "the big leagues" and having to come back to ROH with his tail tucked between his legs and couldn't even get the job done against an outside like Shinsuke at "The Great Escape" and now the ROH fans are supposed to believe Danielson is their savior? Steen says give him a break.
Danielson begins to argue with Steen on the microphone and cuts him off as they go back and forth with insults before Bryan Danielson says "Enough!" - they have other matters to attend to as both he and Steen are in competition tonight. But in the mean time, Danielson is confirming himself as the man to take Tyler Black's spot at Glory by Honor IX in the 10-Man War.
