End of The Road/Era

I've been knocked out of the TiT after a grueling promo period with Troy Douglas. Adam has been a man possessed lately in the TiT, winning the EPW IC Title, and a date for the Cyber Title in A1E. I know he's in PRIME and at least one other fed. Having so much on his plate hasn't slowed him down at all.

Two things Adam does really well: one, he pretty much never makes mistakes. Trying to pick apart his promos is like playing Hasbro's Operation with a hockey stick. And the second thing he does really well is either downplay or ignore completely any mistakes he does make. That's two ingredients for success.

If I'm going to go out in the TiT (which I'm making a bad habit of :) ) then at least I've gone out guns blazing. I'm glad real life has afforded me the opportunity to put in good showings the last two years. I'm looking forward to meeting Ravager again for the Challenge Championship.

The "Era" part of this promo is about the retirement of Dan Ryan. My one match with Dave taught me more about the hobby than all the other promo periods put together, and that's no knock on my other opponents. I truly hope this isn't the end of promos from Dave Brunk. If it is though, no one's earned it more.
