March 12:  Larry Sweeney has been telling people close to him that he’s got two very special opponents in store for Bobby Dempsey, as Dempsey has two contracts leftover from when he was under the representation of Sweeney.  The first matchup takes place as part of ROH’s Seventh Anniversary on March 21st in the Hammerstein Ballroom.  “That fat slob is going to pay dearly,” said the Super Agent.  “Ain’t no doubt about it.  There ain’t no doubt at all.”  ROH officials are unclear as to when Sweeney plans on making Dempsey live up to the second of the contracts.

March 12:  The first names confirmed for the second set of Ring of Honor Wrestling on HDNet tapings are:  Roderick Strong, The American Wolves – Davey Richards and Eddie Edwards with Larry Sweeney, MsChif, Tyler Black, The ROH World Tag Team Champions – Kevin Steen and El Generico, and the Dark City Fight Club!  The tapings will take place on Thursday, April 9th and Friday, April 10th at the Arena in South Philadelphia.  Don’t miss out on the opportunity to be a part of history as ROH brings real professional wrestling back to television!

March 12:  We have learned more about the modified Ultimate Endurance match that Jimmy Jacobs has requested for March 21st in New York.  We have now learned that it is unlike traditional UE matches as Jacobs has proposed a 6-Man Tag Team Elimination contest.  Similar to UE, the stipulations will change during the match based on the eliminations.  But unlike, UE, we’ve been informed that each fall will determine the stipulation for the next.  The result of the first fall will directly impact the next fall, and so on until there is only one man left.  If a fall is won via pinfall, then the next fall must be won via some other means.  If a fall is won via submission, then the following must be won via something different.  It also follows that if a fall is won via count-out, then the next fall must be won via other means, meaning the next fall would then be contested under NO count-out rules.  What about disqualifications, you ask?  In this contest, there are no disqualifications.  Because of the unique rules in this match, ROH officials are calling it a “revolution rules” match.  We will have the participants next week in the Newswire!
