March 17th: Larry Sweeney has started
his hostile takeover of Ring Of Honor. Sweeney has made it clear that he isn't
after ROH management or ownership. Sweeney has sent word throughout the locker
room that he is signing as many talents as he can to representation contracts.
Sweeney then says he will lead these men to the top of ROH and increase their
value. He will then sell them to Vince and make a profit for himself and for
whoever signs with him. Will Sweeney lead ROH talent out of ROH? So far Adam
Pearce, Brent Albright & Shane Hagadorn sold their souls to Sweeney as The
Hangmen Three have dissolved into Sweet & Sour Inc. BJ Whitmer refused and
as a result is out of ROH and off all upcoming shows after an attack. It is
possible that last night was Whitmer's final night in ROH. However, all
is not coming up aces for Sweeney. SHIMMER Champion Sara Del Rey has taken a
leave of absence from Sweet & Sour Inc. and several members of the ROH
locker room have privately expressed disgust to Sweeney's plan. This is going
to be something to watch closely as Sweeney brings the business side and
politics of sports to try to corrupt ROH.
