January 5th: There is an article called "Wheelin' & Dealin' Going On Behind The Scenes" on the main page of ROHwrestling.com. The latest news is that Larry Sweeney is holding Chris Hero out of the Fifth Year Festival now due to money demands. Sweeney is taking a big gamble here. If Hero is able to win the ROH World Title on January 26th vs. Homicide in the Boston area then Sweeney will be able to name his price for Hero. However, if Hero does not win the belt then Sweeney will have to greatly lower his demands. This is a gutsy powerplay from Hero's new super agent.

January 5th: Don't forget that FIP returns to action next week on 1/12 in Inverness, FL and 1/13 in Crystal River, FL. Signed for the weekend are FIP Heavyweight Champion Roderick Strong, Brent Albright, Jack Evans, Jimmy Jacobs, The YRR, Black Market, The Heartbreak Express, Sal Rinauro, Jimmy Rave, Larry Sweeney, Shingo and more.

ROH couldn't be starting the year off with any stronger cards. This is great stuff.

["Sweet & Sour" ImSoFudginGreat]

Already I am excited for 2007

[Chuckie Finster]

I wonder if a Windy City Death Match is the same thing as a Texas Death match or a Mexican Death Match or a Japanese Death Match?

[THE Dinobot]

I'm really jonseing for Briscoes Vs. Romero and Reyes. That's gonna be a absolute beaut!

[George Harrison]

Anybody going?

[BlackHoleMark]

How can they announce a match for 2/24 and not 2/23? ARGH!

[Timmy8271]

Do they do Youtube videos anymore? Those were awesome.

[catwoman]

That's a hell of a lineup! Now all we need is for Danielson to heal...I really hope his shoulder isn't permanently screwed up.

*heads over to ROHwrestling to spend money she don't have on DVDs....*

[HMARK Center]

Dragon will be back; sadly, it's just gonna take awhile.

As for this, God, I didn't realize Edison's card was already so stacked! </looks at two tickets on night table lovingly>

[WHATAMANOOOVER]

Danielson may not be back until late Spring or even the Summer.

[KLRA]

Count the summer. Even if he doesn't need the surgery it would be retarded to rush back.

[H-Fist]

Caban versus Jacobs - Death Match...yeah, looks like I'll be requesting off another Saturday night and making another 280 mile round trip.

["IcePic" Rick Cobos]

As if I couldn't be excited enough to watch the last month of 2006 when FB comes out.

LENNY LEONARD WILL GET TO CALL IT?!?!!? I expect Leonard's performance for Danielson vs. Homicide to be memorable, great enough to compare to many of JR's greatest performances.

I'm glad Leonard is back, Jared David was starting to bore me

While I haven't watched anything since the 100th Show, I have skimmed through and listened to David a little bit, and I must say that while he wasn't horrible, there's no way he added that emotional element to matches like Cage of Death, Homicide vs. Necro, BJ vs. Necro, the last stand for Generation Next, the unification match, Danielson vs. Joe, Davey's debut, the Aries & Strong vs. Briscoes trilogy, the GHC title match, and Danielson vs. KENTA that Leonard would have provided for them.
