Goodbye HOSSES, It's Been Nice
Posted by Lance Warner on 30 Mar 2015
For those of you who may have been living under a rock, DEFIANCE's Aftershock: The Revival pay-per-view is in the books and what a wild ride it was. So many surprising twists happened that they need to be seen in order to be believed.
One of the most surprising, and disgraceful, events of the night was the abrupt firing of Team HOSS after their title match against Dan Ryan, Lindsay Troy, and Tyrone Walker. Click after the jump for more information on this development.
Word has it that as soon as Team HOSS arrived back to their hotel, an officer of the court was there to serve them with civil lawsuit papers on behalf of Big Damn Heroes members Tyler Rayne and Wade Elliott. While the exact terms of the complaint have not been disclosed, it's quite possible this has everything to do with the reason for HOSS's termination from DEFIANCE; that being, Junior Keeling's part in the tampering of Rayne and Elliott's drug tests to have them suspended indefinitely and prevent an attempt to capture the DEFIANCE Trios titles.
There's no word yet if criminal charges will be filed against Keeling or if a federal investigation will be launched. Kelly Evans has indicated that DEFIANCE lawyers immediately looked at the evidence upon receipt to verify its authenticity. Once confirmed, the Matriarch of DEFIANCE set the wheels in motion to have the entire Team HOSS group terminated with cause.
A high-level DEFIANCE front-office executive, speaking on a condition of anonymity, believes Kelly Evans and Eric Dane will try to smooth things over with Rayne, Elliott, and Lindsay Troy to stave off any potential action against the Company. Should anything further come of this, I'll report it here first.
