Yesterday Lance & Harlem Bravado were entered into “Survival of the Fittest 2011” field as the 7th & 8th members of the tournament. Today ROH officials have set the 9th & 10th entrants into the elimination bouts as 14 men compete for a future shot at the ROH World Title.
Kyle O’Reilly
2010 Survival of the Fittest Qualifier (Eliminated in qualifying bout)
Last year O’Reilly entered into the SOTF tournament as a certified underdog, a competitor that was a longshot to advance, and unfortunately for him he faced off with a vicious opponent in the opening round and did not make it into the finals. But the wars of the last year, including competing in both the Top Prospect & Tag Lottery tournaments, have hardened Kyle and given him experience that he was sorely lacking one year ago. This year he is poised to challenge for the ROH World Tag Titles just two short weeks before entering into the SOTF field, potentially making November the biggest month of his young career. And what would it be like for Kyle to challenge his own mentor for the ROH World Title should be survive?
“Unbreakable” Michael Elgin
Michael Elgin has never competed in SOTF before, but the event is still a life changing one for him. It was at “Survival of the Fittest 2010” when Elgin was introduced as a member of the House of Truth, teaming with Roderick Strong & Zach Gowen to battle The Briscoes & Christopher Daniels. In the year since that landmark moment in Elgin’s life, he has cut a swath of destruction through Ring of Honor, demonstrating his unparalleled power and cementing his standing as the strongest man in ROH. With “SOTF ‘11” on the horizon, Elgin now has the opportunity to propel himself into World Title contention and bring the belt back to The House of Truth.
Tickets for “Survival of the Fittest 2011”, going down in Dayton, OH on 11/18, can be purchased right here in the ROH Store, and keep an eye on ROHWrestling.com as we continue to announce this year’s field for Survival of the Fittest!
