AND THE ROH SURVIVAL OF THE FITTEST WINNER IS... *SPOILERS!*

Don't look if you don't wanna be spoiled, fellers. Because I'm about to bust this piece wide open.

Here's a mural of Razor Ramon to distract you before I spoil everything directly underneath it.

Okay, we good now? Good.

Tonight in Dearborn, Michigan... Eddie Edwards defeated five other men to become this year's winner of Survival of the Fittest.

But that's not all. Oh no.

He did it... WITH A DISLOCATED SHOULDER. Or torn. Or fractured. Depending on which tweet you read. Either way, he proved once again that he is the toughest motherfucker going right now.

If I could take you back to last year, right around this time, actually... Eddie broke his elbow just minutes into an Anything Goes match with Kevin Steen. He finished that match, wrestled the next night in the infamous LADDER WAR II and came out on top, because he is a superhero psychopath.

And now tonight, he wins SOTF 2010 with his shoulder completely obliterated. This is Eddie Edwards' time (as correctly (read: incorrectly) predicted by TH of The Wrestling Blog! Way to go, TH!).

So should we pencil in Davey Richards' ROH World Title win at Final Battle then? It's gotta be just a matter of time until the American Wolves meet in the ring for a rematch of their classic HDNet battle, except this time they'll be deciding the ROH World Championship, instead of the TV Title.

I won't make any predictions just yet. But I am excited to see this show. And I'm even MORE excited to see the show tomorrow night in Toronto. GUYS I AM EXCITED CAN TOU TELL

I'll have some kind of review up after the show as well, so keep checking back for that.

Also, can someone tell me why my I get malware warnings whenever I try to go to the ROH Message Board? Has it become so snarky that even my computer is like "dude just don't go there it's not worth it."? I wouldn't be surprised.

UPDATE: Mike of World Champion of Something (and creator of the awesome PIZZABODYSLAM banner you see above) did me a big solid and sent me this picture he snapped at last night's show. Here's Eddie with his SOTF trophy (thanks Mike!):

ROH THIS WEEKEND: SURVIVAL OF THE FITTEST 2010 + CHAMPIONS' NIGHT IN TORONTO

This is a big weekend for Ring of Honor. They're hitting up Detroit and Toronto (er, their respective suburbs, Dearborn and Mississauga) for two big events, especially for them not being iPPVs.

But before I get to the lineup for this weekend (including an interactive card for tonight's show where you can click on a guy's name and hear his thoughts on Survival of the Fittest!), here's the latest ROH VideoWire.

ROH VIDEOWIRE 11/08/10
SIZING UP SURVIVAL OF THE FITTEST 2010 + DANIELS V. STRONG: ROH WORLD TITLE

IN THIS VIDEO
- The Fallen Angel Christopher Daniels starts looking past ROH World Champion Roderick Strong, and to potentially facing Davey Richards at Final Battle.
- Truth Martini understands the meaning of life, yet his hair is still ridiculous.
- Andy "Right Leg" Ridge recaps his trial series where he is currently 0-2, and says he won't losehis next match (he will).
- The All Night Express want their tag title shot against "The Duck Squad" (Kings of Wrestling).
- Kevin Steen and Steve Corino spout some crazy in preparation of their triumphant return to Canada, where they are self-proclaimed "heroes." Kevin Steen also graphically describes eating the faces of Chris Hero and Claudio Castagnoli.
- Davey Richards is concerned with how the Kings of Wrestling will make money after they get dominated by the American Wolves ("I'm glad you've got your slogan!").
- Homicide doesn't like Jay Briscoe (for real? I can't tell with Homicide because he is crazy).
