Welcome to part two of our lovely discussion concerning the mystery that is Project 161, and what implications it may have on ROH. For anyone looking for references, check out project161.com, check it out, then click the top lefthand corner of the site to access the Project 161 blog. Anyone else who wants to repost the basic info (i.e. the old backgrounds on the old websites, the photo of Gabe, etc.) concerning this would-be faction/revolution/invasion/whatever so that we don't get a bunch of guys on page 20 writing "Can anyone tell me what the heck's goin' on?!", feel free to do so now, so it's all on page one.

here is a blog with information on the speculation going on for 161. it is where i got most of this information. foxybanana.com/~bhearsum/project161.htmland here is the primary reason people started suspecting adam pearce (and associates) to be involved. (pearce's promo from respect is earned) ================================ The promo segment opened with Pearce, dressed all in black, talking to his assistant, Shane Hagadorn. Pearce said: Hagadorn, the eyes are the gateway to a man's soul. Go find him. Shane then runs off. After introducing himself to the audience, Pearce continues: ...there is a hell of a lot of soul-searching to be done in Ring of Honor. He then tells the history of ROH's growth from a small regional promotion to PPV. This is followed by: Every member of the Ring of Honor locker room now has to step up, you see. They have to make that step. They have to ask themselves, "What am I willing to do to take my piece?". Shane then enters the frame, saying he found "him." Shane and Pearce walk off as the camera follows. Down a long hallway we see BJ Whitmer sitting with his head in his hands. Pearce says: The man down the hall's name is BJ Whitmer. This is a man whose soul is in so much pain that even he cannot reveal it to the world. BJ has made sacrifice after sacrifice after sacrifice for Ring of Honor...and for Ring of Honor's fans. He's had his flesh torn and his bones broken, and made a hell of a lot more than 1 trip to the hospital. A few months ago BJ lost in one of the most violent feuds in history to Jimmy Jacobs. And now he sits there, a man before you whose spirit is broken. Every day he will have to look in the mirror and ask himself, "How can I break free?". As if that wasn't enough, we can add one more thing to the resume, because now BJ Whitmer is forever going to be known as the man who lost the very first match on RIng of Honor Pay-Per-View. Every night as he sleeps..as he dreams..and as he wakes up the next day...the question on his mind: What do I do to get relief? How do I make peace?...How do you make peace when the pressure is on? How do you make peace when the stakes continue to rise and eventually it's over your head? How do you do it? Every man's going to react in his own way. As I've said now every man is now forced to dig deep, to search within, to find that spot in their soul where clarity lives. They have to truly know...TRULY KNOW... what they're capable of. I know what I'm capable of. And soon every single one of you will know it, too. Pearce then walks down the long hallway and places his hand on Whitmer's shoulder.

For some reason I always thought it was really cool that Punk and Cabana are the only one's with takeout boxes in Tmiz's sig.

I go to a hip hop forum, mainly to f*** with people, and used stuff from the original abusedsociety site as my sig. If this were to flop, at least it made cool pictures.

nothing has happened except for flyers being left for the past few months, cryptic blogs, lights going out at DBDVN1 saying it's real, some fat guy yelling about it during DBDVN2.
Also, the Briscoe's being the kids is purely speculation. Maybe it's a pic of a wrestler and one of his friends and they left the friend in there to do a angle where said friend turns on said wrestler and joins Project 161

Someone just called in to Dave Meltzer's show saying Project 161 over and over again. Meltzer's reaction was classic. Basically "WTH?".

I think this was just something small Gabe was doing that just got blown way out of proportion. I'm not saying it's not exciting and i think its a good idea, but people are coming to some pretty rediculous conclusions.
Ive seen a few of the people posting the "PROJECT 161 IS COMING" on the ROH boards allready admit there just fans having fun with it. So i think the majority is fan hype.
I think ittl be somthing of the obvious... ie. Jacobs/Pearce/Whitmer and not some of these ideas like Raven coming in with Paul Heyman and old ECW members to reign terror. I'm not trying to be negative just saying that it's probably not as big as people are making it out to be.

I think you're right...except I think Gabe now knows he has to step it up a little with the hype he's getting on it. We'll see though. I think the buildup is going to be very nWo like with just one or two guys at first and an unveiling of the leader later. "Marge, this bean looks just like the leader!!!" *places under the sign Leader Beans*

Just a thought, out loud...
When does the NWA tournament end compared to the 161st show?
