I can't not mention OSPW and it's significance….

Shooting here…..
Never thought I’d see the day where OSPW closes shop. It had been rumored since last summer and while I had a gut feeling that it was going to happen, part of me didn’t want to see it.
My OSPW run(s) were tumultuous at best. My first stint in the company ended with me leaving the company after a dispute with Buffalo Tom, while being the Tag Team Champion.
My second stint was an appearance when Tyger Smith won the OSPW Championship for the first time.
My third stint was a reunion of Team F-View, beating the Emanons.

My fourth stint was probably my longest. I wrestled Trip, quit the Underworld Cartel, and did some more things en route to winning the New York Championship. I was stripped of the championship after a real life situation prevented me from appearing, which I was not a fan of, because I wanted to lose the belt the right way.
I was supposed to have a fifth stint in 2015, where I was to actually wrestle Tyger, but I pulled myself from that due to my shoulder injury.
So now we are here. What will be my fifth stint in the company (which has to be some sort of record), and I am going to be fighting The Mad Wolf Trip in a match that carries significance for us personally and professionally.
I know that I have been very critical of OSPW in my time away, and while that has subsided in the past three years (primarily because it got a lot better), I have always held OSPW in a small place in my heart. The best part about that experience was the fans. I went there a member of the enemy (Next Era) camp, and left there an anti-hero with my old website being chanted at the shows.
Every time I went back, the OSPW fans welcomed me and while I was never a “good guy” there, you fans made it very difficult for me to be mad at you. Your town sucks, but you guys are a-okay with me.
I do not expect many of today’s fans to remember who I am or what I was, so I invite you to witness what I can do, and extend an invite to all of you old timers out there that were in the crowd for my first stint 10 years ago, to be there July 9th.
It will very likely be my last appearance in a competitive capacity, in Buffalo, ever. I never had an appropriate chance to say good bye, or thank you, so please be there on July 9th so I can do that.
Trip, I’m going to beat your ass. It’s done out of love.
Then Buffalo, when that match is over….I don’t know what you’ll see but I assure you, I will steal a brief moment to thank you all for not only supporting me, but my brothers and sisters at OSPW all this time.
Thank you OSPW for the many chances that you took on me, thank you for giving me one more opportunity to go out the right way, and hats off to you for so many years of entertainment. Some good, some bad, but your legacy cannot be denied, and I assure you that on July 9th, you’ll get the best of me.
See you there.
