ROH Southern Hostility 6-24-09

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.
