The picture's .jpg is "259" I wonder if that has significance. EDIT: Also, it looks like a picture in a broken frame. Ye Olde Google Image Search says it's not significant: www.civil-war.net/cw_images/files/images/259.jpgIt would seem that the catalog number for that picture is 259. And the crack is in there as well. That said, here's the title of the picture: 259. Hanging Hooded Bodies of the Four Conspirators with the Crowd Departing - Washington, D.C., July 7, 1865 So it's the people who conspired with Booth to assassinate Lincoln. Quite interesting given the 161 vibe...

I think the whole "Four Conspirators" might have some signifigance, but I might be wrong

That's definately the Booth conspiracy group that helped with Lincoln's assasination. I'm a history buff

I'm thinking the guys in 161, maybe 4 of them(as in the 4 conspirators) were "hung out to dry" by ROH, hence all the hanging related things. That would apply to Whitmer, Pearce, and Rave for sure

If it is indeed four conspirators remember that one of the hanged in the picture is a woman, not that that's necessarily important.

Here is what we have so far concerning pictures:
1) Little Briscoes
2) How to make a noose
3) Two nooses
4) The hanging of those guilty of planning Lincoln's assassination.
...And here here the conclusions that I am jumping to:
1) Project 161 has five people in it - four "conspirators" and a mastermind.
2) The original plan for the "Lincoln Assassination" was for Vice President Andrew Johnson and Secretary of State William Seward to be killed as well. As of right now, "Johnson" and "Seward" are Briscoes.
3) The group is going after the "Lincoln" of ROH. While an argument can be made that "Lincoln" could be Morishima, I think the group is actually going for Gabe himself. He did hold the "Union" (ROH) together after during the "Civil War" (the Rob Feinstein controversy), after all.
4) Booth himself was a Notherner who sympathized with the South. The "South," as far as I'm concerned, is either Feinstein or Paul Heyman.. Therefore, the mastermind is someone who either works for or has ties with ROH, but "sympathizes" with the struggles of either Feinstein or Heyman.

As of right now, "Johnson" and "Seward" are Briscoes. They did try to kill Johnson and Seward on the same night. They stabbed Seward who was already injured from a cariiage accident and his neck brace saved his life from the knife. The guy who was supposed to kill Johnson got into the same hotel as Johnson but got drunk and wandered away.

Not to sound rude, but do you really think they would want to talk about that controversy anymore? Let alone use it in storylines?

If this is even close to what the angle is, this is the greatest angle ever.

Rob Feinstein has nothing to do with this, even in a passing mention. Maybe Heyman's involved. Maybe Gabe. Who knows. But there's no way in hell it's RF.

Anyone have either the "how to tie a noose" pic or the single noose. I'm collecting them. Not sure why yet, I just think the majority of the pictures rock.

Feinstein is definitely NOT involved. You'll never see his name mentioned in ROH.
As for the picture, I'm just beyond confused.
That said, using the Booth conspirators image says to me to expect four members and a mastermind.

WWE can keep it's nickel magic show that is the Illegitimate Son storyline. They're getting shown up by a bunch of "yardtards" and rejects who know how to book Vince into the ground.
If I was Steph, I'd be crying myself to sleep every night watching this thing of beauty develop, and knowing that I couldn't come close to it.
Saturday...

My theory.
-5 people total. The Four Conspirators, and their "John Wilkes Booth" -The Four Conspirators will be known soon. I believe the mastermind will be revealed at the 161st show* -I believe all the nooses and hanging related iconagraphy is a metaphor to that the members were "hung out to dry" so to speak, by ROH and the fans. This plays very well into the main suspects, especially BJ Whitmer.
*I hope ROH just names the 161st show "161" and nothing else.

Just out of curiosity...was Jacobs' last injury that put him out a leg injury? Because Booth did break his leg trying to escape by jumping to the stage of Ford's Theater after shooting Lincoln.
Yeah, I am stretching now.

*I hope ROH just names the 161st show "161" and nothing else. Honestly, naming the show 161 may be cool, but it defeats the whole intention of ROH doing this. ROH is essentially ignoring 161, and are playing it off as a joke gone out of control. Which will, of course, come back to bite Gabe and everyone else in the ass. After all, they're in this because of the "Forsaken" wresters who could be behind this.

Thats actually pretty deep. Yes, he did tear a leg/knee muscle.
Someone said something about how one of the Original 4 Conspirators was a woman. Maybe Allison Danger?
