If Kenny's in the States in early March that means he'll probably be at ASW12 too. Is NJPW running any shows the prior weekend?

The NJC tour runs 3/3 to 3/12. The champs aren't in the tournament so if Kenny's not working that tour that means that Omega's beating Tana for the IC Sunday.

Between this and the dream match of Okada/Moose I'm starting to get excited about ROH again

http://www.rohwrestling.com/news/roh-stars-return-japan-honor-rising

Pretty much everyone is going to be in Japan for the Honor Rising events:

"All of the top ROH stars will be making their way to Japan including ROH World Champion JAY LETHAL, ROH World Television Champion RODERICK STRONG, "UNBREAKABLE" MICHAEL ELGIN, reDRagon, the YOUNG BUCKS, the BRISCOES, MATT SYDAL, and DELIRIOUS!

Due to personal family issues preventing him from leaving the United States, ADAM COLE will not be participating on the HONOR RISING events on February 19th and 20th from Japan.

FRANKIE KAZARIAN has been added to the events and will participate on both February 19th and 20th.

Honor Rising will also feature the Japanese debuts of DALTON CASTLE and MOOSE! The event will be broadcast live on New Japan World at NJPWWorld.com"

This is gonna be fun as hell.

Kind of surprised that no one here posted about the Kevin Keenan referee firing.

Everyone I talked to in and around ROH about it including eye witnesses said Kevin was completely in the wrong. Also Keenan's statement was loving moronic. But there's people involved the Wrestle Pro (PWS's new name essentially) or that from the New Jersey scene are defending him. So this won't go away anytime soon and may blow up further.

But there's one big picture thing I need to point out. Kevin Keenan was broken into Wrestling by Jeff Jones of ECW fame. Jeff Jones is the ROH office and above Delirious in the pecking order and has closer ties to Sinclair. Keenan is Jeff's boy and was his locker room stooge. Firing Keenan many come back to haunt Delirious.

On the other hand Joe Koff considers Delirious like a son. But even so Koff is rumoured to be retiring somewhat soon as he's 66 years old I think. Greg Gilliland aka "Greg The Office Boy" as Cornette has referred to him is Koff's likely replacement.

you can tell the dude is a moron from his statement and his twitter so presumably everyone took him to be a moron and didn't post about something that should be resolved already

I hoped/hoping it would go away. As all the muted Delirious successors are really grim - Jeff Jones, Truth Martini, Kevin Kelly. But there's all manner of hysteria going around. Everything up to Delirious being gone as booker after the next PPV. Which I don't think will happen as Koff and the ROH locker room back Delirious.

Yep. As I keep telling people pretty much every female in Pro Wrestling gets it claimed about them.

I don't think the optics of firing your booker for firing a (self-admitted) sexual harasser would look very good for Sinclair. It would probably look worse than Vince McMahon is racist against "arm-grabbers".

But Delirious has been Assistant Booker/Booker since August 2010 and ROH's booking is done more by committee than ever. ROH MIGHT be being going to the next level too. So like with happened to Gabe ROH's owners might think they need a new vision to take the promotion to the next level. Again I don't think anything will happen to Delirious but all I am saying there's scope for ROH removing him from his position.

I remember Jeff Jones no-showed Francine's ECW reunion show years ago and absolutely no one knew what happened to the guy

Even if the two were loving, why would any fans care? It's not like it's giving someone who isn't very good that the fans don't like a huge push. It's someone the booker may or may not have the hots for getting a 3 minute interview segment to serve as a buffer between matches. It just sounds like a weak defense for this guy to have done something he knows was wrong.

Didn't Dave Prazak get fired for making fun of Daizee Haze on commentary when she was loving Delirious

The dude's defense of himself did loving own though

He randomly went back and forth between calling her 'the talent' and 'her actual full name'

He started by acting like he did absolutely nothing wrong and no one thought it was a big deal, and then two paragraphs later he's admitting he was wrong

He totally goes off the rails to just start ranting about someone else being the real bad person!!

Dude should get into writing wrestling storylines instead of being a ref

after a show a bunch of roh people were having drinks at a bar and one of the referees smacked mandy leon on the rear end and was fired for it

his side of the story was that it's totes cool because they know each other and that delirious only fired him because he's loving mandy so actually delirious is the bad guy here because ethically a boss should not be in a relationship with a subordinate

They're backup dancers and assistants. I mean maybe he's loving them but that's between him and them.
