Eagle-eyed members of the PCW Faithful were keen to point out a hidden-in-plain-sight message made by PCW President Frank Foley in regards to the controversial non-outcome of the North American and International Championship Match at Deadly Intentions Six.
The statement President Foley made, which will be transcribed here as well, were distributed with the official Trauma 180 match listings.
We spoke with a few members of the PCW Active Roster and a lot of them are not satisfied with the reasoning. Even more telling were the amount of Superstars who continue to support the theory that Foley is incohoots with The Black Hand.
"I heard Showtime gloating backstage that he was toying with Foley. That he, Showtime, 'changed the plan' with Foley just for fun," an anonymous source told us.
What this all means, we hope to find out at Trauma 180!

At Deadly Intentions VI, there was confusion during the double-title, fourway match that resulted in the match ending with no clear victor in the second fall of the match. This was due to a legal issue regarding with the match contract of "Mr. Showtime" Michael Wryght. While the official rules of the match stated that the 'First Fall is for the North American Title, Second Fall is for the International Title,' Wryght's contact had the wording 'First Fall is for the International Title, Second Fall is for the North American Title' written. While this could be considered an error, this was the text on the contract that was signed by Mr. Wryght and thus, it is legally binding.
This situation means that Michael Wryght is currently considered the 'disputed North American and International Champion.' This dispute will be resolved at Trauma. PCW lawyers are currently working with Mr. Wryght's legal team to vacate one of the two championships and negate that title win. These negotiations are on track to conclude before Trauma 180 airs. Once these proceedings are complete, the vacated title will be competed for in a triple threat match involving the other three competitors involved in the original match: Non Compos Mentis, Eira and Justin Kaard.
More details on this situation will be revealed at Trauma 180.
