As most know, Michael Elgin is the newest member of the House of Truth, officially becoming a part of group after ROH’s last tour of Canada in November. Still, he had to pass certain…tests…to be fully accepted, and during a recent broadcast of “ROH on HDNet” he did exactly that while teaming with the ROH World Champion, and fellow devotee of the Book of Truth, Roderick Strong. Now the powerhouse of the House has been set on a path of destruction, a mission if you will, to eliminate the contenders to Strong’s World Title. That list compromises names such as Jay Briscoe, Eddie Edwards, Davey Richards, El Generico, and Christopher Daniels. But following a loss to Daniels in an unscheduled bout at “Champions vs. All-Stars”, a bout Roderick demanded mind you, the World Champion has demanded that Truth Martini use his managerial skills to attain Elgin matches with these top ROH World Title contenders, and that Elgin’s warpath specifically start with Daniels.
“Michael Elgin is a man for whom the Book of Truth has changed his life.” stated Truth Martini, “He is a follower, to the letter of the Book, and the guidance of the Book will lead him to victory over The Fallen Angel and his faux gospel. Michal Elgin will lay to waste every man who dares to step into the championship territory that is owned by my man Roderick Strong. Just remember, when it comes to Michael Elgin, the saying about every man being created equal…was wrong.”

February 25th, the Montgomery County Fairgrounds in Dayton, OH will mark the site of the first stop on Elgin’s hit list. There he will step into the ring with “The Fallen Angel” and attempt to put down the first of many potential challengers to the ROH World Title. In addition, ROH officials have declared that Daniels’ TV Title will NOT be on the line due to the fact that Elgin has not yet earned a shot at a ROH championship.
For better or worse, the hit list does not end in Dayton…

The following evening, in Chicago Ridge, IL at the “9th Anniversary Show” iPPV event, Truth Martini & Roderick Strong have sent Elgin after a 2nd potential challenger for the belt, the most recent man to challenge Strong for the title, “The Generic Luchador” El Generico! Only a few weeks ago at “SoCal Showdown II”, Strong did everything he could to try to put down Generico but the former World Tag Champion would NOT stay down. Strong resorted to striking Generico with the World Title belt behind the referee’s back before hitting the Sick Kick and Gibson Driver for the win. Despite his bravado after the fact, Strong knows that Generico is a threat and the champ is scared. In fact, when faced with several of his potential challengers after the match, the champ elected to run from the ring for fear of facing the wrath of Jay Briscoe, Christopher Daniels, and Davey Richards.
Is this HoT hit list another sign of fear on the part of Truth Martini and Roderick Strong? Has the “Messiah of the Backbreaker” realized he may have bitten off more than he can chew and pissed off one too many people? Or is this simply an intelligent play from the champion, picking off your challengers before they can even step foot in the ring once again?

Either way, Michal Elgin is an effective deterrent to any man looking to step into the World Title picture against Strong. His power and ferocity are something to fear, and really his surface has barely even been scratched. What sort of animal will the ROH faithful see unleashed in Dayton & Chicago when the full weight of the HoT is resting on his shoulders?
