GCWA News Break
Matches were announced for next week's Friday Night Inferno, including a North American Title Qualifier match between Micheal Graves, Atara Themis, and James Raven. This match surprised many, as it once again set two members of Legacy against each other. Jonathan Barrows, who has had issues with Legacy in recent weeks, had this to say about the match:
"While I of course understand Mr. Raven being unhappy with this arrangement, the fact remains that Legacy continues to demand opportunities in the GCWA. I thought it was extremely humble of me to give both Mr. Raven and Ms. Themis a shot to get into a singles title match at Fright or Flight, considering how I've been treated by them. However, Mr. Raven does have options in this regard.
He can remove himself from this match, leaving Ms. Themis in a singles contest against Mr. Graves. I'm sure this is the route that Mr. Graves would prefer, as he's shown a lot of interest in Ms. Themis. Mr. Raven can also show the world once again how he is the G.O.A.T., and prove that he can defeat star wrestlers like Mr. Graves & Ms. Themis. Finally, if Mr. Raven would be the bigger man, he could help Ms. Themis win, which would end Mr. Raven's winning streak, but would clearly show his noble character. This choice is up to him."
While no official answer has come from James Raven at this time, he has been quoted on Twitter stating:
"9-0, but I see what you’re doing, Barrows... and I’m not into it. There will be no 10-0 next week. I’m staying home. Let the other two figure it out."
This would seem to indicate that Raven will not be part of the match. No word has been heard on if a substitute will be sought, or if it will be a straight singles match.
