From ROHWrestling.com:

World Tag Titles Vacated
Sunday, May 11, 2008

Right after returning to the locker room after last night's bout, one half of the ROH World Tag Team Champions Jay Briscoe vacated the belts. We will have more information within 24 hours in the next ROHwrestling.com Newswire.




Okay, If they were going to do this, why didn't they just let AOTF win them last night? Stupid move by Gabe imo.

 

[Soulpower]

^^Based on some pics I saw, Jay was bleeding heavily during and after the match. It wouldn't surprise me if he suffered some sort of injury and had to drop the belts afterwards.

Or maybe we'll find out Jay Briscoe just wanted to screw with the AOTF, get in their heads, and beat them. He didn't want to be tag champs, he just wanted to fuck with them.

OR... Vince Russo is secretly booking for ROH >_>

 

[OsamaHussian]

^ The Tag titles have been getting Russo-fied recently, so that wouldn't surprise me one bit.

 

[Headfirst For Hardcore]

Jay's blade was wild, he was spraying everywhere, and I saw him cut himself, pretty nasty. Jacobs is a sick mofo, he drank Jay's blood and wiped his whole body in it. I wouldn't be surprised if Jay was legit hurt or taking a short hiatus from wrestling with his bro gone.

BTW, my review will be up tomorrow.

 

[OsamaHussian]

Steenerico for ROH World Tag Team Champions!

 

[Soulpower]

Are Steen and Generico FINALLY going to win the tag titles?

 

[OsamaHussian]

They better, or else this is some fucked up shit...

 

[Headfirst For Hardcore]

I'm feeling a Steen & Generico vs MCMG match for Manhattan on 8/2, that's what I was picturing since I heard they were coming at the show on Saturday.

 

[Qwake]

^ that would be awesome, one of the best TNA teams vs one of the best ROH/indy teams and my 2 fav teams

I hope El Generico and Kevin Steen win the titles!!!

 

[OsamaHussian]

Thank you for giving us ROH's greatest achievement yet with a successful show in the Hammerstein Ballroom.

========================================================

Lots of news here. Great to see Lance Storm back in ROH, for a few shows. Im pumped about Detroit getting a PPV. Im going to already go out on a limb and predict some matchups.

Steel Cage: Jacobs vs Aries

Nigel vs Claudio II

Danielson vs Storm

 

[Soulpower]

I don't know why, but I don't see a Steel Cage match between Jacobs and Aries to happen so soon. I see this feud being stretched out for a long time (Similar to Whitmer vs Jacobs).

And I want to see Nigel vs Storm. McGuiness doesn't have a lot of challengers at the moment, so it would be good to have him wrestle Storm in the meantime.
