Whats this i hear about the Briscoes leaving ROH? Lol ROH.
Here's the rumour going around;
"
All signs are pointing that Mark and Jay Briscoe have wrestled for the last time in Ring of Honor. Yes, that Jay Briscoe, the ROH World Champion. Ring of Honor did not have Mark Briscoe appear on the TV taping on Sunday. They ran an angle that he had been injured the night before against Jay Briscoe leading to Kevin Steen getting involved in the Steel Cage Warfare match that was the main event of the tapings and what ROH built up to in the 4 weeks of TV. However, Ring of Honor also did an angle where, after defeating Matt Hardy to retain the ROH Championship, Jay Briscoe was attacked by Hardy and Steve Corino and a couple of other heels and laid out and beaten down...pretty much destroyed and it was described to be as a heavy, heavy, heavy angle. And in speaking to a number of Ring of Honor sources over the last 12 hours or so, that was the last scheduled appearance for either Briscoe brother for the forseeable future. There is talk they may be departing the company and at the very least they will be on a hiatus for some time. This has nothing to do with the Jay Briscoe Twitter incident, it was something arranged way prior to this PPV & TV taping. The story making the rounds is that they were leaving for greener pastures, but they may not be leaving. At the very least they will be on a hiatus and what the hell this means for the ROH Championship, your guess is as good as mine. Common sense would dictate that Briscoe will be stripped of the belt if he is not coming back or if he's going to be on an extended hiatus, similar to TNA stripping Rob Van Dam of his championship in 2010."
Fuck knows what's going on. Also, Cornette did an audio interview with PWI, which I haven't listened to, but it sounds like Corny's up to his usual tricks;
"Jim Cornette's in on Mike Johnson's show today. Its quite something. He's doing his post-firing burial like he did with WWE and TNA. He goes off on Austin Aries, calling him a miserable motherfucker, he has a go at Kenny King saying he should never have trusted him, he goes off on the ROH fanbase saying they dont have any patience, he says Mike Hogwood and Dave Parzak were the worst announce team he's ever heard. He's ripping on their iPPVs, he goes off on the venues they booked. All of this by starting the interview by saying "I'm not going to knock Ring Of Honor". And I've only listened to the first 20 minutes."
"Cornette also went off on Kevin Steen calling him a morbidly obese, stupid mudslinger who's going to be in a wheel chair by the time he's 35 because he's so out of shape and does stupid shit nobody wants to see. Also said Generico and Steen would have put the company out of business because their matches weren't attractive to advertises or backers."
It's really sad to see how far ROH has fallen and continues to fall. I honestly wouldn't be watching wrestling today if it wasn't for ROH.
