The ROH Newswire has an update on injured tag team champion Eddie Edwards. They’re playing up his participation in Saturday’s Ladder War after after breaking his elbow as a heroic feat, comparable to a famous sports figure:
As Jack Youngblood’s athletic legend grew from playing Super Bowl XIV with a broken leg, so grows the legend of Eddie Edwards. Edwards did the unthinkable on Saturday, taking his place beside Davey Richards and entering Ladder War II – with a broken arm. And this was no hairline fracture; Edwards essentially snapped off a huge chunk of his elbow on Friday night in Boston during his street fight with Kevin Steen.
They also say that it was his call to compete in the match, four hours after ROH learned of his injury. Edwards is scheduled for surgery on Thursday, and will have a steel plate and screws inserted in his arm to treat the elbow injury. ROH is waiting until after the surgery to decide whether they’ll strip the American Wolves of the Tag Titles, but Edwards is already off of the October 9th and 10th ROH shows, and has led to Edwards’ partner Davey Richards taking on Kenny Omega in a singles match and the Young Bucks taking on Kenny King and Rhett Titus.
