He has been in professional wrestling for a long time and appreciates all the support that everyone has given him over the years, and the fact that he and the fans have always had a really great relationship. He says there is nothing he would want to do more than scream, yell and tell Jay Briscoe how he is going to get his revenge on him, but he does not know if he will ever get his revenge on Jay Briscoe. For the first time in his career, he is considering stepping away from professional wrestling, but he does not know what to do and that he has to focus on recovery and on his family.

When he came to ROH, he knew that The Briscoes (Jay and Mark Brisco) was the best team here, and he wanted to be part of the team. But as of late, Jay has been a little crazy and a little off-the-wall as they have won and lost the Six-Man Tag Team titles, but they have one more goal in mind. At Death Before Dishonor, he and The Briscoes will be on the same team, beat The Kingdom (Matt Taven, TK O'Ryan, Vinny Marseglia) and reclaim the ROH World Six-Man Tag Team Championships.

Silas says Lethal may be used to getting everything on a silver platter, but he has beaten Lethal on every kind of match he can, and says he is waiting until everybody can see it live on pay-per-view just so ROH can see that he deserves all the opportunities that have been given to Lethal. As he speaks, Lethal says that "The Last Real Man" is more like "The Last Real Little Boy." At Death Before Dishonor, it will be Last Man Standing, or in his case, "The Last Real Man Standing."

He asks if they respect the contributions he and Daniels have made for Ring of Honor. The crowd cheers again. He finds this interesting, because last week, there was zero respect shown to him and the crowd booed him. He says that he has to look at the audience and say they are lying their asses off and do not respect even themselves.
