….
January 23rd: Nigel McGuinness is of the opinion that he is the Greatest ROH World Champion of all-time, and that it should be a completely undisputed fact by now. In fact, he recently insinuated that there is no one left in ROH for him to defeat. You can read his comments here: http://www.rohwrestling.com/news/article.aspx?id=2521. ROH officials aren’t happy about Nigel’s claims, but can’t find fault in them either. The truth is that McGuinness has gone through nearly everyone that has been placed in front of him in his illustrious reign. Rumor has it that ROH officials are working quickly to finalize fresh matches that are suitable to McGuinness’ tastes as ROH returns to the Sunshine State for “Proving Ground ’09” weekend. Should Nigel escape Chicago with the ROH World Title still in tow, officials are hoping to have him defend it in either Coral Springs or Orlando. We hope to have the low down on these matches early next week in the Newswire.
January 23rd: Speaking of Chicago, we now know what El Generico was translating into Spanish when Kevin Steen accepted the challenge of Claudio Castagnoli for “Caged Collision” on January 31st. It seems that the Generic Luchador was also reading Nigel’s selfish words, and like many others in ROH, he was insulted by the arrogance. So much so that he contacted the ROH Booking Committee and begged for a chance to shut Nigel up. Of course, Nigel has defeated Generico in the past, so he has no reason to accept the match. ROH officials contacted him by phone to discuss Generico’s request. “I’ve already defeated that skinny tart,” said Nigel. “Why on Earth should anyone believe he has a claim to the Title? It’s like I’ve said sunshine, there is no one I haven’t beaten. Not that clamdigger Danielson, not Geritol Lynn, not Tyler Black, not anyone worth stepping into that damn ring with. Maybe I should reconsider, and just take the PPV off. I’ve nothing to prove – and certainly not to that skinny pale immigrant.” As the phone call seemed to conclude, Nigel spoke again, “But you know what, I’m a fighting champion though, aren’t I? And I have made a name for myself living up to every challenge that stood before me. If the fans want me to wrestle on the Pay-Per-View, and if they want me to fight that masked tart again, then I’ll oblige. And trust me, Generico will regret it.”
January 23rd: A very strange letter arrived via courier to the ROH offices yesterday, and written on it were these words. “The thundering path of the Bison will lead me through the very heart of Ring of Honor. It has begun.” The letter was not signed.
January 23rd: Just added to “Caged C ollision” in Chicago on January 31st is a special attraction singles match pitting “Addicted to Love” Rhett Titus against Grizzly Redwood. Will the man with “Hammys that win Grammys” defeat the littlest lumberjack, or will Grizzly logroll his way to victory?

January 23rd: We’re excited to announce another match for “Proving Ground ‘09”. On February 7th in Orlando, Kenny King returns to ROH and will team with Rhett Titus to take on Chris Gray & Tommy Taylor, The British Lions. King’s YRR cohorts, Sal Rinauro and Chasyn Rance will also be a part of the festivities, so the deck already appears to be stacked against the newcomers from England. In any event, both teams are looking to prove their worth, and in Orlando, we’ll see who’s ready to take that next step.
January 23rd: ROH Officials have made several attempts to find out which members of Sweet-N-Sour Incorporated will battle inside the Steel Cage on the 31st. Larry Sweeney has refused to budge, citing “contractual loopholes” that allow him to suppress the information. “Those idiots sai d they wanted Sweet-N-Sour in the cage,” said Sweeney. “And that’s how the contract was drawn up. Now they want the specific names? Am I as dumb as Albright’s hair looks? Why would I concede an obvious advantage? Why would I clue them in? There’s no way in hell I’m talking, and no one will know who I’m bringing to Chicago until it’s time to get into the cage!”
