Austin Aries: Tonight is a very important night for A double Austin Aries. Tonight is the second stage of my path towards destroying Age of the Fall. Tonight I have a tag match where I will be standing across the ring from Tyler Black. I destroyed Necro back in Detroit, and Tyler, don’t think that you will be weakening me in any way tonight. Once I destroy you in this match, I’ll be standing face to face with Jimmy Jacobs. Jimmy, you’ve cost me many things. You cost me my dignity, you cost me Lacey, you cost me the Pure Title, you cost me copious amounts of blood. It’s time for my revenge. And remember back at the Rising Above PPV. When I had you lifeless in the center of the ring, and I took that deadly spike you like to use. And I mutilated and scarred you’re flesh. When you’re blood was like paint across my arm. That’s nothing like what I’m gonna do to you now. You dug you’re grave and now you’re gonna have to lie in it.

Jimmy Jacobs, besides the fact that I hate your guts and feel that you are a peice of scum, you are smart. You realize that you have three, while I only have myself. Thats why before I even try to wrap my hands around your skinny throat, I'm gonna break your chain of comrades. I will do this in Virginia when I team with Bryan Danielson to take on Nigel McGuinness and your partner Tyler Black. Tyler Black will be cut from the chain in Virginia and then next week on the video wire, I will break one of your strongest and most violent chains in the Necro Butcher, and I will break him under his own turf, a hardcore match.

Chris Sabin: Well I’m a fan of Clearasil but different strokes for different folks.
Shelley: At least we know the true meaning of a well balanced diet.
Sabin: And then we have a skinny Mexican behind a mask.
Shelley: Honestly, I don’t know what you are hiding. I’d never hide behind a mask. I have websites dedicated to my facial features. My eyes, my smile.
Sabin: Your cheeks?
Shelley: Well, that’s a different website.
Sabin: Whatever. Anyways, the only thing that is gonna make our facial features look better, is those shiny pieces of gold around our waist.
Shelley: And once that happens, there will be mandatory doses of Vitamin A and Vitamin C for all the Ring of Honor fans.
Sabin: So what now?
Shelley: (Thinks) Come on, let’s go bang some hookers.
Sabin: I see why we are tag team partners. Let’s go!
Ring Announcer: Welcome back ladies and gentlemen from intermission and if you thought what you’ve just seen was amazing, wait till our three main events in the second half of our show. So sit back and re…
Ring Announcer: You’re… You’re…
(Mickie takes the microphone)
Mickie: I’m gonna stop you there. See, my name is not Mickie James. My name is Alexis Laree. Those that remember me as Alexis, thank you for your support. A little history lesson will show that I was once competing in the ring with this very company Ring of Honor. And when I wrestled here, those were two of the most informative and important years of my wrestling career. And when I left, there seemed to have been an emptiness and unfullfilness in my heart. When I was in WWE, I traveled the world, I made a name for myself and almost became like a mini celebrity. But that emptiness remained inside and continued to eat away until one day I began to surf the net. I hear, ROH has a new women’s division and a women’s title. A division of women’s wrestlers in ROH is something I never got to experience. I had emptiness in my heart before. And I think I know exactly how to fill it. I know that I am a former 4 time women’s champion. So why not make it number 5 in the best wrestling promotion on the face of the earth today, ROH! Fans of pro wrestling, Alexis Laree has come home!

(Bryan Danielson steps out from the back.)
Danielson: Hey Joe. Joe. Great job man. What a way to return to Ring of Honor. Everyone, give a round of applause for Samoa Joe. (Fans clap and chant “Thank you Joe”.) Absolutely amazing. Just like I remembered you Joe. (Pause) But let me tell you something. You have been gone for a long time now. The new number one contender is me! Joe, you signified pure wrestling. You signified Ring of Honor. Now that you left, I’ve taken you’re spot. Now, when people think pure wrestling, they think Bryan Danielson. When they think athleticism, they think Bryan Danielson. When they think of Ring of Honor, the first man to pop into their mind is me! When they think of Samoa Joe, they think of nothing but an absolute joke. How was it Joe? How was it to wrestle guys like Sting, and Kurt Angle and Jeff Jarrett? And how did it feel to sell out to every single one of these Ring of Honor fans? You sold out to put your name on a national scale. What did it get you Joe? Everything that you built up and everything you did to help us, you crapped on all of it. You crapped on making the ROH Championship a world title. So why do you deserve a title match? If any one deserves it, it is the best wrestler in the world today. As far as I’m concerned, you can fly you’re way back to Orlando, Florida and earn some extra cash by defacing you’re career even further. In my opinion, you are not welcomed here!
(Danielson jaw jacks with some fans as he leaves.)
(The crowd is divided between boos and cheers for Joe as he leaves.)

Will Rutherford: Fans, we are backstage here during intermission and I am with Chris Sabin and Alex Shelley, the Motor City Machineguns. Guys, congratulations to Alex Shelley on his win tonight in your hometown of Detroit. And because of this, ROH management has decided to grant both of you two with shots at the ROH World Tag Team Championships in Virginia.
Alex Shelley: Finally, FINALLY! They recognize the future that is the careers of the Motor City Machine Guns. Beautiful night it was here in the Motor City. And now we have progressed into our future as ROH World Tag Team Champions.
Chris Sabin: I mean seriously, who’s gonna stop us in our path. Let’s look at our opposition. We have a fat slob with a pizza face.
Alex Shelley: I use Neutrogena. Makes a great moisturizer.
Chris Sabin: Well I’m a fan of Clearasil but different strokes for different folks.
Shelley: At least we know the true meaning of a well balanced diet.
Sabin: And then we have a skinny Mexican behind a mask.
Shelley: Honestly, I don’t know what you are hiding. I’d never hide behind a mask. I have websites dedicated to my facial features. My eyes, my smile.
Sabin: Your cheeks?
Shelley: Well, that’s a different website.
Sabin: Whatever. Anyways, the only thing that is gonna make our facial features look better, is those shiny pieces of gold around our waist.
Shelley: And once that happens, there will be mandatory doses of Vitamin A and Vitamin C for all the Ring of Honor fans.
Sabin: So what now?
Shelley: (Thinks) Come on, let’s go bang some hookers.
Sabin: I see why we are tag team partners. Let’s go!
Ring Announcer: Welcome back ladies and gentlemen from intermission and if you thought what you’ve just seen was amazing, wait till our three main events in the second half of our show. So sit back and re…
Ring Announcer: You’re… You’re…
(Mickie takes the microphone)
Mickie: I’m gonna stop you there. See, my name is not Mickie James. My name is Alexis Laree. Those that remember me as Alexis, thank you for your support. A little history lesson will show that I was once competing in the ring with this very company Ring of Honor. And when I wrestled here, those were two of the most informative and important years of my wrestling career. And when I left, there seemed to have been an emptiness and unfullfilness in my heart. When I was in WWE, I traveled the world, I made a name for myself and almost became like a mini celebrity. But that emptiness remained inside and continued to eat away until one day I began to surf the net. I hear, ROH has a new women’s division and a women’s title. A division of women’s wrestlers in ROH is something I never got to experience. I had emptiness in my heart before. And I think I know exactly how to fill it. I know that I am a former 4 time women’s champion. So why not make it number 5 in the best wrestling promotion on the face of the earth today, ROH! Fans of pro wrestling, Alexis Laree has come home!

Danielson: Hey Joe. Joe. Great job man. What a way to return to Ring of Honor. Everyone, give a round of applause for Samoa Joe. (Fans clap and chant “Thank you Joe”.) Absolutely amazing. Just like I remembered you Joe. (Pause) But let me tell you something. You have been gone for a long time now. The new number one contender is me! Joe, you signified pure wrestling. You signified Ring of Honor. Now that you left, I’ve taken you’re spot. Now, when people think pure wrestling, they think Bryan Danielson. When they think athleticism, they think Bryan Danielson. When they think of Ring of Honor, the first man to pop into their mind is me! When they think of Samoa Joe, they think of nothing but an absolute joke. How was it Joe? How was it to wrestle guys like Sting, and Kurt Angle and Jeff Jarrett? And how did it feel to sell out to every single one of these Ring of Honor fans? You sold out to put your name on a national scale. What did it get you Joe? Everything that you built up and everything you did to help us, you crapped on all of it. You crapped on making the ROH Championship a world title. So why do you deserve a title match? If any one deserves it, it is the best wrestler in the world today. As far as I’m concerned, you can fly you’re way back to Orlando, Florida and earn some extra cash by defacing you’re career even further. In my opinion, you are not welcomed here!
(Danielson jaw jacks with some fans as he leaves.)
(The crowd is divided between boos and cheers for Joe as he leaves.)

ROH Video Wire 6/6/09
Samoa Joe: I'm back boys!
(Intro to Video Wire)
Davey Richards: So Wendseday night in Detroit. I get the honor of wrestling Samoa Joe in his return match to Ring of Honor. You see Joe, in one of your last matches in the company, I faced you. And sure I wasn't able to pull out the win but a lot of people consider that one of the best matches for myself. Joe, when you were in ROH you were considered the hardest hitter. You were the baddest, the toughest and the most violent. But you see, since you left ROH to go to, well, bigger and better things, right buddy. Ha, I was the new hard hitter. I was the man that everynight the fans had their jaws dropped. Now, I took you're spot. So we will see what will happen when both of us get in that ring. But remember Joe, you're not in Florida anymore. Ring of Honor has strict policys on sharp objects at ringside. Haha. See you on the 10th boy.
Jimmy Jacobs: People ask me, Jimmy, why would you try to restart this bloody war you had with Austin Aries? Why would you attack him? Austin Aries has been considered the first child and the representation of Ring of Honor for a long time now. From Generation Next to the Austin Aries of today, you had everything brought to you on a silver platter. While people like myself, Tyler Black, and the Necro Butcher hoped and prayed that our time will come. Age of the Fall was formed in 2007 for one purpose. And that purpose was to change the face of pro wrestling and make stars out of ourselves. Much like Generation Next, except, we don't do this by showing our athleticism and ring prowess. We do it by destroying, one by one, everyone that stands in our path. And I will not abandon the cause because of you Austin. You will be another victim in our plan to gain dominance. The Age of the Fall will stand tall. Even if we have to stand over your prown, dead, body.
Austin Aries: Jimmy Jacobs, I'm going to make this short and sweet. You can rant and rave about your cause and trying to make names for yourselves. You attacked me and prevented me from being the first ever ROH triple crown champion for one reason. Jeaulosy. Its plaqued many wrestlers in the past but yours is much different. I have earned everything ROH has given me so maybe Jimmy you just plain don't have what it takes. And that eats you up inside doesn't it? Unlike Generation Next, you will not succeed. If you say that you will destroy me in your path. Well you better bring the natonal guard to try to take me down because I will not stop until I put you back in your place.

(The card is rundown for the show in Detroit on June 10th)
Colt Cabana: All my life, I dreamed of being a champion. I dreamed of one day being considered something more. Considered something better. Sure I did win the Tag Titles with CM Punk, but no offense to my friend, everyone considered him to be one step above me. Just recently, I came this close to winning the Pure Title and fullfilling my dream. Now I have my chance but first I must defeat Low Ki in Detroit and once I do I will move on to Claudio and gain the belt I have strived for for so long. The Ring of Honor Pure Title.
Low Ki: Colt Cabana. You're dream will be silenced.
