Kevin says that he gave Eddie the perfect chance to tear this company apart, but Eddie refused and he is a hypocrite, but what do you expect from someone from New York.
Instead of raising hell and making Ring of Honor sorry for getting rid of him, Eddie decided to conform. Now Eddie thinks that he will come to Providence and take the title from him?

For ten long, hard years, he has struggled to become a world champion. He has hurt everyone in his family to become a world champion. To chase a dream, on August 11th in Rhode Island, he will have his opportunity.
Eddie says that he has struggled for ten years. He has laid awake at night wondering why he does this and why he makes these sacrifices. When he wins the title on August 11th, he will show his parents, who thought he was an idiot for getting into professional wrestling. He will show it to his ex-wife who he left to stay in wrestling. He will tell her that he still loves her, but the title was for this.
He says that he is doing this for Larry Sweeney, who he considers his brother. Larry died without becoming a World Champion. He will say a prayer to Larry and say that he did it. The most important person is his son. He will tell him that no matter what you go through, if you sacrifice and fight, you can live your dream and be whatever you want.
On August 11th, he will go through hell and spit in Satan’s face to become the ROH World Champion.
We go to commercial.
