NUMBER ONE
EDDIE EDWARDS - ROH WORLD TELEVISION CHAMPION

ROH crowned their first-ever TV Champ last weekend, and it was settled in a Partner vs. Partner: Who's the Hungrier Wolf?!" tournament final, pitting American Wolf Eddie Edwards vs. AMURRICAN WULFFF Davey Richards. Eddie TAPPED his own partner to walk away with the gold (blue).
Eddie was certainly not favoured to win once the brackets were announced. Many predicted a Steenerico final, others predicted Kenny King, some even predicted Delirious. I really can't think of anyone who had Eddie pegged from the start - and I am happy to see him earn some clout in singles action.
Eddie Edwards is a star in the making and he is doing it in the shadow of the unstoppably awesome Davey Richards. I am really excited to see Eddie with the belt and hopefully defend it sometime soon, which brings me to...
NUMBER TWO
UPCOMING CARDS ARE STACKED

ROH has five events coming up, and all of them are shaping up to be winners. I'll be in Mississauga (Davey/Omega II & and Fans Pick the Stip Main Event), there's also the Michigan show the night before (Crazy six-man: Black/Briscoes vs. Hero/Wolves), then there's the MASSIVE WrestleMania Weekend shows, and to cap it all off there's The Big Bang LIVE on iPPV that's been sold as a MUST-SEE event.
I will do anything Jim Cornette tells me to do, so you better believe I'm paying the (dirt cheap) twelve bucks or whatever it is (six if you split with a buddy!) to get this on GoFightLive.
Scroll down to see how these cards are filling out (quite nicely), and scroll even further to see the Big Bang iPPV banner at the bottom of the blog.
NUMBER THREE
SARA DEL REY

I've seen Sara Del Rey before. But now I'm getting the feeling I haven't seen her enough.
Today, from both ROH's Twitter and Sara Del Rey's Twitter (complete with a sweet article here), I saw more from her than I have in what feels like too long of a time. See here:
Maybe I don't watch enough Shimmer (I... I haven't seen really any... so, yeah), but Sara Del Rey is awesome. She is a female wrestler with (gasp) something to say! Which is somehow shocking in this day and age. Most female "wrestlers" today spend their TV time cuddling up to Z-list celebrities. Del Rey tells it like it is, and now, more than ever, I just want to see her beat the hair extensions off some bitches week after week.
FOURTH BONUS REASON TO BE EXCITED

Literally JUST saw this so it deserves to be included.
Ten dollars is super cheap to own some of the best wrestling on the planet. Holy nuts.
