R.O.H. NEWSWIRE 7/24/13
(Nigel McGuinness sits at a couch in his office.)
NM: Hello R.O.H. fans. As you can imagine I've had a lot on my mind since Milwaukee and I am now finally ready to render a few decisions. First let me discuss the R.O.H. World champion Matt Hardy. What happened during his title match against Jay Lethal made me sick to my stomach. A champion, a real champion does not take a countout to save his title. So as a way to remedy this Jay Lethal will get a re-match in Toronto and it will be a Fight Without Honor. I have also added the stipulation that no one will be at ringside. If anyone breaks this rule they will be automatically suspended from R.O.H.
Next, there were several injuries that were incurred from last card and a big one was to one half of the R.O.H. World Tag Team Champions - Jimmy Jacobs. I have informed both men that if they can not defend the title within thirty days they would according to R.O.H. by-laws be stripped of the belts. Steve Corino informed me by text that he would invoke the "Freebird rule" if Jimmy Jacobs could not go since S.C.U.M. is their official team name. I responded that this is not 1986 and either they will wrestle of we will find a way to crown new champions. So Corino and Jacobs are set to defend against Caprice Coleman and Cedric Alexander and they must defend the titles.
Ladies and gentlemen I must say I was a bit surprised to see us lose the challenge to S.C.U.M. 4-3. But the only reason that happened was that all of R.O.H. is not on the same page. People let personal rivalries get in the way of a much larger goal and that is putting S.C.U.M. down. And you now what that's my job. It's my job to make sure that our wrestlers understand just what is at stake and what really is important. This threat is turning out to bigger than I thought and we must strike quickly. Stay tuned for further updates.
