The past few days were pretty eventful for me, but let's first update on some developments since the last time I wrote.

Two weeks after the American Wolves won the tag belts, we lost them in New York, and I could not have been happier. Eddie was pretty happy, too, but for different reasons: Eddie thought that the team that beat us, reDRagon, deserved it. I honestly didn't care; I just didn't want the tag titles to weigh my career down.

After that my career has been in somewhat of a neutral zone until recently.

I got a call from William Regal. He told me that he kept an eye on Eddie and I at Ring of Honor and was protesting heavily to Triple H to give us a tryout. Regal said it was particularly difficult because the company doesn't want to buy into smaller wrestlers anymore. However, since good 'ol Paul was looking to beef' up the tag team scene in WWE, Regal said, that they should give us a look.

First of all, let me tell how excellent William Regal is as a wrestler, mentor, and human being. He's influenced myself, Eddie, and many other wrestlers to work hard and become the talents that they know they could become. William Regal is the total package: he is an excellent wrestler even at his age, and the most underrated and underutilized talents on the microphone. If he were 20 years younger, he'd be the champion as we speak.

A few hours after I hung up the phone with Regal, he called again and said that they would love to host us for a week tryout camp at their new training facility in Florida. I called Eddie, who was as excited as I was to get the news.

This is it! My opportunity has finally come! I'm going to the WWE!

This morning, I sat down with a magazine for an interview. I didn't even think to mention the news that Eddie and I had gotten, but instead I used the interview as a place to reveal my honest feelings on Ring of Honor.

The guy asked me what I thought about the way that the tag titles have been booked and I told him it just doesn't matter anymore. Those titles are meaningless and quite frankly, they have been for a very long time now. Nothing that was too controversial in my book.

Then he asked me about the issues that they've had with their Internet PPV service and I told him I don't care. Look, it doesn't affect me. It doesn't affect me picking up my paycheck at the end of the night, and I told the guy that.

I was asked about my experience as the ROH World Champion and I was completely honest in my beliefs. The title doesn't mean anything anymore because of the guys that have held it. I mean, really. Kevin Steen and Jay Briscoe are both mid-card tag team wrestlers. They're not the future of any business and they will never be hired by Vince or Triple H. The belt is a gateway ticket to get more and better bookings but the way that the champions have been booked is lame.

I was completely honest with that interview and I don't have anything to lose at this point. After we impress everyone during our tryout, ROH and the independent circuit will be left in the dust.
