THOMASELLI WITH THE 2013 "LORDS" TROPHY SSW owner RJ Daniels has made a big change to the title shot that the winner of the 2014 "Lords of the Ring" tournament will be getting. Last year, Pauly Thomaselli earned his SSW title shot by winning the 2013 tournament, but has yet to be able to capitalize on it due to the stipulation built into it that the defending SSW Champion "must agree to the match" for it to be used. Unlike WWE's "Money in the Bank", which allows the challenger to be granted a match at anytime they chose, the title shot now held by Pauly is basically useless. The current SSW Champion, Justice Jones, has been unwilling to defend his title against Thomaselli, and there has been nothing RJ could do to change that.
At the time of Pauly's win, Devin Diamond was still the commissioner of SSW, and thus had drafted the contract in such a way to make it nearly impossible for the winner to challenge for the title now held by his client, Justice Jones. Clearly, this was just another in a long line of deceptions created by the former commissioner to ensure his client to have one less threat to his title. So, to rectify this issue, RJ has decided that this year's tournament winner will indeed still be earning a guaranteed SSW title shot, but, this time around the title shot can be used "Money in the Bank" style, and can be "cashed in" at any time of the their choosing, regardless of whether or not the defending champion accepts the match.
So, with a guaranteed SSW title shot that can be used at any time the winner chooses, the prize is just that much sweeter for the competitor that manages to win the 2014 "Lords of the Ring" tournament when it concludes at the end of the year!
