BREAKING: BDH Members Suspended, Trios Title Match in Jeopardy
Posted by Lance Warner on 23 Feb 2015
We have some late breaking developments here at the DEFIANCE Wrestle-Plex and, I'm sorry to report, it's not good news.
DEFIANCE requires its talent and staff to submit to random drug and wellness screens once per quarter, at a minimum. These account for recreational and prescription drug use, cardiac tests, and ImPACT tests. The results of DEFIANCE’s latest batch of screens conclude that Tyler Rayne and Wade Elliott of the Big Damn Heroes did not pass one or more of these tests and, as such, have been suspended indefinitely from competition.
“Tyler Rayne and Wade Elliott are in the process of appealing these results and are cooperating with DEFIANCE officials on this matter,” Clay Darcy, lawyer for the group, stated when asked for comment. “Additionally, we are pushing for an investigation into other matters regarding these tests, including who may have asked for screens to be conducted, who may have been responsible for the handling of samples, and who may have been responsible for the delivery of related materials in conjunction with these screens. Beyond this, neither myself nor my clients have any further comment at this time.”
But what does this mean for the World Trios Title match on the upcoming DEFtv 46? According to Kelly Evans, it’s still on.
"Match is still happening, even if Lindsay Troy’s gotta fight Team HOSS by her goddamn self. I don’t like those Edward White ball-hangers any more than anyone else but I’m not gonna cancel a booking because of some fuck shit that may or may not have happened. The Big Damn Heroes can push for whatever-the-fuck additional investigations they want, too, but the fact of the matter is that random screenings are in everyone's contracts, even mine! Those boys made themselves an adult decision, now they can deal with adult consequences. If they don't like it, I'm sure HOW is hiring..."
It stands to reason, given Darcy’s comments, that the Big Damn Heroes are thinking that Team HOSS had something to do with the results of these screens. The appearance of a gift basket addressed to Rayne and Elliott at DEFtv #45 lend some credence to this theory. As always, we will have more on the situation as it develops.
