I am surprised ROH has not seemed interested in signing Willie Mack yet. His character doesn't really 'fit' with Cornette's vision of ROH. It's not Cornette's decision. He's not in charge of hiring anybody, he's just one of the on air talent.

Cornette is not the head booker, Delirious is. He decides booking and who's being used because that's his job. As for hiring and firing, that would likely be handled by Sinclair Broadcasting, since they run ROH and all. As for Cornette, he's the on air authority figure, nothing else.

NWA Hollywood posted this on their Facebook: "NWA Championship Wrestling from Hollywood is teaming up with Filsinger Games to create a Championship Wrestling from Hollywood edition of their Legends of Wrestling card game! The first set will be available this summer and will feature 12 stars of NWA Hollywood! Find out more about this game at www.FilsingerGames.com/lowWho do you think 12 stars in the first edition will be? (hint: Colt Cabana already has a card so he won't be on the roster.)" Thats Cool that NWA Hollywood posted the announcement of FG creating the set. I'd like to see from NWA Hollywood in the 12 card set... Ray Rosas Peter Avalon Famous B Nick Madrid Pinky Ryan Taylor Leo Blaze - Fresh 2 Death Josh Rozay - Fresh 2 Death Willie Mack Adam Pearce Colt Cabana Joey RyanI'd like to see a Pearce & Cabana card that fits this set with the other talent from the NWA Hollywood promotion...

Cornette is not the head booker, Delirious is. He decides booking and who's being used because that's his job. As for hiring and firing, that would likely be handled by Sinclair Broadcasting, since they run ROH and all. As for Cornette, he's the on air authority figure, nothing else. Cornette isn't just an on air talent. You really don't know what you're talking about. Delirious is just a figurehead, Cornette books everything. Who the hell do you think had the bright idea to do the stupid fake MMA crap they put on TV for the first three months of the SBG run? Spoiler alert: It wasn't SBG and it wasn't Delirious, it was Cornette....oh, but he's only an on air talent. A couple of the ROH guys I know (and they're going to remain nameless to protect their jobs) aren't happy with what Cornette has done. Smarten up, dude. Here's an article you should read: From Wrestlechat.net: According to our various sources inside Ring of Honor, there appears to be growing concern amongst many in Ring of Honor that since the Sinclair Broadcasting Group take over back in May 2011 that Jim Cornette & SBG may be “burying” or “changing” the product. Rumblings of these feelings started to get louder after Ring of Honor ran their debut show in Cincinnati, Ohio this past Friday night and the card was a shell of the “normal” ROH roster. The card was filled with Ohio Valley Wrestling (OVW) talents, a promotion that Jim Cornette has been affiliated during his time in the WWE and most recently prior to TNA signing them as a developmental territory. The event was headlined by Davey Richards & Kyle O’Reilly vs. The Briscoe Brothers and featured a “rise & prove tournament” with various OVW wrestlers. This report is coming out after growing sentiment from the Ring of Honor fan base lashed out in various outlets regarding the Tag Team match that will be headlining Ring of Honor’s 10th Anniversary Show in NYC. The match with be Eddie Edwards & Adam Cole vs. Davey Richards & Kyle O’Reilly. The event will be available on iPPV for $9.99 on Saturday March 4th. Many fans are starting to believe that the promotion has gotten away from wrestling and traveled more into a “MMA feel” according to sources since this will be the 3rd time in 4 NYC events where Eddie Edwards and Davey Richards will be wrestling. Their match at Final Battle 2011 was met with negative comments from both those in attendance and those who watched on iPPV. A stark difference from the praise they received six month earlier for the tremendous match they had at “Best in the World 2011.” The change has been met with some resentment from various current and past ROH wrestlers as Colt Cabana recently re-tweeted a comment from a fan about not being booked for the 10th Anniversary show “yet a friend of Jim Cornette’s may get a payday.” This of course is alluding to Dan “The Beast” Severn’s appearance at Final Battle 2011. Various sources tell us that there is a growing concern and that it’s only a matter of time before Ring of Honor’s roster looks more like Ohio Valley Wrestling’s roster where Jim Cornette will be responsible for bring in “his boys.” Cornette was responsible for ROH signing Charlie Haas and Shelton Benjamin back in December 2010, a move that while popular at first, has turned negative in recent months from fans and some wrestlers alike. The feeling is if ROH can afford Haas & Benjamin then why doesn’t ROH go out and book wrestlers such as Colt Cabana & Homicide. No telling where this story will go in the coming months but it appears that for the first time publicly there may be hostility in the locker room due to the SBG ownership and more importantly Jim Cornette.

We respect your passion for ROH Switch-Truth, but a little civility goes a long way.

We respect your passion for ROH Switch-Truth, but a little civility goes a long way. Point taken. I didn't come here looking for an argument, all I was point out why Willie Mack wasn't in ROH. The other dude started the whole thing. NWA Hollywood posted this on their Facebook: "NWA Championship Wrestling from Hollywood is teaming up with Filsinger Games to create a Championship Wrestling from Hollywood edition of their Legends of Wrestling card game!

I want an NWA Hollywood Cabana card but the Facebook post says "Cabana already has a card so he won't be on the roster.

Really excited to hear about both of these sets, but I'm curious about the CZW set in particular. So many questions abound: 1. Eddie Kingston was a beast in CZW before CHIKARA, the Briscoes are multi time CZW tag champs, even Chuck Taylor makes at least one appearance a year in CZW. So how comparable to the ROH/CHIKARA sets will the CZW set be? Should we use their LOTF cards instead? 2. Will any CZW legends: Zandig, Wifebeater, Nate Hatred, Trent Acid(RIP) be included in the intial PDF? 3. CZW has some really of the charts wild matches, will there be a ringside companion booklet of hardcore/death matches? Clearly, I haven't given this any thought...

These are three REALLY good questions, actually. 1.) I'd like to know this as well. 2.) I wouldn't mind Trent Acid. 3.) I'd expect a few deathmatch charts in the handbook, not sure if they'd do a whole companion for CZW. I wouldn't be opposed to it, though.
