Author's Notes: Hi, this is my first story up here out of two that I'm currently working on. This story is about Davey Richards, known for his time in Ring of Honor and as a member of the American Wolves with Eddie Edwards. It's written as a series of journal entries from the perspective of Davey himself. The story does require you to have some very basic knowledge of Ring of Honor Wrestling to an extent but since his goal is to be noticed by the WWE you don't actually need much research.
This story is a complete fictionalized and made-up account of Davey's relationship with Ring of Honor and his entrance in the WWE. The events of this story are based off of rumors of Davey's final months with ROH, however they are dramaticized for the purpose of story, and fictionalized I own nothing here nor claim any event or dialogue to be true.
The second story I am working on is with a co-author. This is a series of alternate scenarios of wrestling events. The one we're currently working on is re-writing the WCW/ECW Invasion, using ideas that we think would have made this storyline a lot better than it was.
Thanks for reading. It's a bit different than what is usually posted but thanks for giving it a chance. Feedback is welcome! Thank you!

"Best in the World"
Ring of Honor Wrestling
Hammerstein Ballroom, New York, New York
It's about damn time I get the respect that I deserve in this godforsaken company. I've been here since 2006 and becoming the ROH World Champion has been long overdue. It's about time they gave me the shot that I deserve.
I am more than confident that I should have received this opportunity a long, long, time ago, even despite the list of workers before me who have held this belt. The very talented Roderick Strong, Nigel McGuinness, the legend, Jerry Lynn, my own partner and good friend, Eddie Edwards were all formidable champions and I admit, I would have been dully challenged. Oh, and least I forget, Tyler Black, who, I heard they're calling "Seth Rollins" up north, Austin Aries, who, again, is being made a slave working for Dixie, and the other guys like Danielson and Homicide. I can't forget CM Punk, who could very well be on his way back here to ROH so that I can kick his ass and prove that I'm actually the "best in the world".
Despite the talent, honor, and prestige that this championship has, I still think I should have been rewarded with this opportunity before. Actually, I don't think I should have, I know I should have.
I swear, if this company's decision to put the belt on me so late ends up costing me a trip up north, they will pay. I will no longer put my body on the line for subpar pay in front of a smart-mark crowd. Absolutely not! The ball is in your court, ROH. This is where Davey Richards should shine.
