ROH: Newswire – 16th February

February 16th: Homicide called the ROH offices today to say that his shoulder feels “187 percent” and he is ready to settle his feud against Colt Cabana. It will be Homicide vs. Cabana at the Fourth Anniversary Show on 2/25 in Edison, NJ and they will collide in a Ghetto Fight. The rules are simple- there are no rules and the only way to win is to make your opponent tap out. This will be a tough night for Cabana as he must now return to the same spot where Homicide almost murdered him by pouring Draino down his throat. Cabana has been mentally falling apart since that felonious incident. Now he must fight Homicide at the scene of the crime.

February 16th: Footage shot backstage in Dayton during the melee when Chris Hero and Necro Butcher were kicked out of the building has some very valuable clues as to who knocked out Jim Cornette’s tooth. We hope to have a definitive answer next week. Cornette has promised that there will be hell to pay for the individual that cost him one of his front teeth. You can see a toothless Cornette in a great promo about hardcore wrestling now at ROHvideos.com.

February 16th: We have another huge match set for 4/1 in Chicago!!!

February 16th: Jay & Mark Briscoe are set to return fulltime to ROH. They are currently scheduled on every show, but the Wrestlemania triple shot. The Briscoes are ready to get serious and make a commitment to ROH. They have stated that they will make an impact at the Fourth Anniversary Show on 2/25. The Briscoes told us that we will have to wait until the night of the show to see what their goals are. The Briscoes disappeared from ROH in August 2004 after suffering injuries. They were also flooded with personal commitments and needed to take care of things in their personal lives. The Briscoes resumed contact with the ROH offices about six months ago and stated that they were interested in returning once they were able to make a commitment and be serious about their wrestling careers. They started back on other indies to get into ring shape for ROH and also because they wanted to have fun with some of their old friends. Now the former ROH Tag Team Champions are ready to return and be a big part of ROH. We’ll find out who they are aligned with and what their goals are on 2/25 in Edison, NJ!!!

February 16th: We mentioned before that we had four huge negotiations in the works. The first one turned out to be KENTA & Marufuji. The second one was Dragon Gate at Wrestlemania weekend. The third negotiation is almost finalized and an announcement could come at anytime. The fourth negotiation has fallen through (and it wasn’t Bruno Sammartino as rumored on the net). We hope to have a big announcement about the third negotiation on ROHwrestling.com at any moment.
