WORLD, U.S., KING OF THE RING

World Champion

EDGE/ROT: The Chosen One (EHL)
Rich Reilly of New Jersey; 501; $250,000 + 75 free matches or a real wrestling belt & 25 free matches, 10 free matches for EHL managers next cycle

"The Chosen One" Rich Reilly is seen at a local watering hole down the Jersey Shore on the heels of winning his seventh World title as a manager and second as an active wrestler. Rounds of craft beer and whiskey are flowing as a crowd gathers around the champ to hear his first interview after winning yet another World title:

"A few months ago, I made a short but sweet proclamation that no matter how many joined this so-called 'super' slash group, it wasn't going to matter at the end of the day -- and I use the term 'super' extremely lightly here. Now, here we are just a few months later, and I'm already seeing the white flags from them. It's easy to be boastful, but when it comes to winning, EDGE will always be number one. When we want to win, we win. When I want to win, I WIN BIG. What's next? Guess you'll just have to wait and see. This is just the beginning of my Reign of Terror... and this is just the start to a great celebration tonight. Next round's on me!"
