Shane says that it is only fitting that after he defended the TV title for the third time in devastating fashion, the first words said to him weren’t congratulations, but why did you do that to Tracy Williams. Shane says he promised to Tracy what he would do to defend the title. Tracy is a grown man and he knew what he was getting into. Ring of Honor does not want to promote him while they promote everyone else on ROH shows. Maybe he will start his own company to promote himself.
