An honor and privilege. I retired Evans in a match with you, seems fitting to return the favor. I look forward to it.

Okay, I'll give some background on how the Bleeder Title situation was resolved - it may help you understand why what was done was done, or it might not. Anyway, you deserve to know.

I heard from Joyride that you were going to be absent for a while and, when I next saw Lance on msn, I talked to him about it. I asked what would be done about the Bleeder Title, and he had no specific ideas. I suggested that, since the rules allow someone to just be attacked backstage and, if they were bleeding, be pinned for it, there was no need to have TI vacate it (and thus force another break in the lineage again). All that had to happen was have someone suitable attack TI and take it and then, next show, have that person be placed in a battle royal for the belt. In real life, the title would be vacated and the battle royal would be the match in which it was won by [whoever] but, in storyline terms, there would be no vacancy, thus protecting the image of the title.

It was a storyline method of doing what would have been done anyway. I should also point out that, when I came up with this idea, no one ever told me that you'd be back in the near future, so it was all based on the assumption that you'd be 'gone' and the title would have to be vacated.

Maybe it didn't have to be vacated, but if it did, this was just a different way of doing that.
