RING OF HONOR NEWSWIRE

February 4th: Jimmy Jacobs and Delirious seemingly cemented their relationship last Saturday in Chicago. This Friday night in Coral Springs, they’ll have a chance to prove it. Delirious has been a shadow of his former self as of late, with his wins and losses as sporadic and unpredictable as his behavior has been. As Daizee Haze mistakenly drove the spike into the head of Delirious at “Caged Collision”, Jimmy Jacobs took to consoling the masked lizard man as the Haze looked on in utter shock. The question is whether or not this will bring focus to the once-loved Delirious. “I only show Delirious what he already knows to be true,” said Jacobs. “And his loyalty is unbreakable. When charlatans like Necro and Tyler have turned their backs to walk away from the revolution, Delirious has remained steadfast. And for that, his reward shall be ten-fold. His clarity is my greatest glory, and Haze has finally learned that what she has can’t save, yet only enslave.” The first test of Delirious’ new found “clarity” is a huge one, as he and Jacobs will team to face Jerry Lynn and Bryan Danielson in Coral Springs. Lynn scored a victory over Delirious in Chicago while teaming with the Necro Butcher, while Jacobs holds a victory over Danielson as recent as Manassas. Don’t forget that Danielson is still suffering the effects of the brutal powerbomb he suffered at the hands of Bison Smith last weekend.

February 4th: Speaking of the monstrous Bison Smith, he has signed to compete in both Coral Springs and Orlando for “Proving Ground ‘09”. These events will mark the first “official” appearances for Smith in ROH and no one on the ROH Booking Committee knows what to expect.

February 4th: Larry Sweeney made several heated phone calls to ROH officials, claiming that he’s suffered “permanent neck damage” as a result of the beating he faced in the cage to end “Caged Collision” in Chicago. He claims that the Death Valley Driver that Bobby Dempsey leveled him with has left him “physically unable to professionally compete in any fashion” going forward; and he’s threatened to sue Ring of Honor and Dempsey if a monetary settlement isn’t reached. Sweeney will still lead Davey Richards into Florida, facing Tyler Black on Friday in Coral Springs, and just announced, facing Kevin Steen in singles action on Saturday in Orlando! “I’ve got my eyes on Sweeney and the Wolves,” said Steen. And even though we defended the belts against them in Detroit, this is far from over. I want a crack at Davey man-to-man. We’ll see what he’s really made of when his man-pal Edwards isn’t there to watch his backside.”

February 4th: With Steen signing to face Davey=2 0Richards in what promises to be a heated grudge battle, El Generico took it upon himself to sign what he thought was an open contract for this Saturday in Orlando. Turns out it was an indeed an open contract of sorts, an open contract to face Bryan Danielson on February 7th! With both parties signed and delivered, Generico and Danielson will hook up in what surely will be a crowd pleaser! As stated earlier, the only question is whether or not Danielson will be 100% physically, and he has yet to comment either way. One thing is for certain, in any event. With this contest we could bear witness to a classic, and the fans of Orlando are in for a treat!
