ROH: For The First Time Ever In ROH...

It was supposed to happen on November 13, 2010 at “Fate of an Angel II” in Mississauga, ON but a freak accident one night prior at “Survival of the Fittest 2010” prevented then-ROH TV Champion Eddie Edwards from defending his title against El Generico. Unfortunately for the ROH faithful, as well as the two competitors potentially involved, it is a bout that never came together in the year that has followed, that is until now!

On Saturday night December 3rd, when ROH debuts in Spartanburg, SC for “Southern Defiance” it will be “Die Hard” Eddie Edwards vs. “The Generic Luchador” El Generico for the first time ever here in Ring of Honor!

“We’ve done the tag team battles over the ROH titles,” offered Edwards, “and I fought Generico’s partner during that time, but somehow the two of us just never went at it head to head. So when it got snatched out from under us last year I was seriously disappointed, and I’ve been itching for a chance to fight Generico ever since. To see that I’m finally getting that, well it puts a smile on my face for sure, and for several reasons. See now that it’s officially me and Davey at Final Battle, I can’t think of a better opponent to get me ready for that war than the guy who just took Davey to his limit last weekend. I need to be pushed, harder than ever, in training and in the ring, and Generico is just the guy to do it.”

As for Generico, as Eddie said, he is fresh off a hard-fought loss of his own at "Glory by Honor X" against Davey Richards for the ROH World Title, but there is also the looming spectre of an evil Generico thought he was free of one year ago. One can only speculate how this is psychologically effecting the former TV Champion or if it even has any impact at all. All we know is that Generico will never stop fighting, no matter who the opponent may be, and Eddie Edwards is looking to find that out just as his American Wolf brother did in Chicago Ridge.

Eddie Edwards vs. El Generico! It goes down at “Southern Defiance” on December 3rd when Ring of Honor hits Spartanburg, SC for the very first time. Tickets for this huge event can be found at www.Ticketmaster.com!
