I couldn't believe it when I first heard that Joe was leaving ROH. He will be missed. He was one of the biggest factors in ROH's success with his world title reign and his clasic matches. I was hoping to see Joe become ROH's first ever triple crown champ by winning the tag titles, but I guess that won't happen now. Hopefully he comes back some day and as either a special attraction or as a regular. Hopefully his last match is against Kobashi. I know it's a long shot, but if it was agianst Kobashi there'd be no better send off for Joe.

Don't you read the news you post? You posted news from last year In fact, the Delirious thing you PM'ed me is from last year too, and he won his match

Edit: ROH has now confirmed the above lineups. The remainder of the 3/4 card will be determined after the 3/3 show.

Quick FIP results from last night:
Apparently Jake Roberts was impaired/intoxicated, so he was asked to leave and cops escorted him out. Word is he wasn't invited back for tonight. People in the company were vowing they would never work with him again but either way, his match tonight against Larry Sweeney is off.
Shingo beat Hallowicked.
Allison Danger beat Lacey.
Black Market beat The YRR. One report said it was by DQ.
Ricky Vega beat Jason Moore.

Waltman won with X-Factor, came out to DX music and played up the DX gimmick.

Hahaha, he sounds very desperate to get back into WWE, and in typical DX reject fashion, he plugs WWE in other feds. FIP Title match sounded a bit crummy with 3 falls in 20 minutes for a title match.

Delirious is getting an FIP title shot in a few weeks? Guess I didn't catch that in one of your news reports.

Today's Newswire Update:
The big Dragon Gate announcement has been made: 7 DG stars will be in action at the WM weekend shows in Detroit: CIMA, Naruki Doi, Ryo Saito, Dragon Kid, Shingo, Masaaki Mochizuki, and Susumu Yokosuka. Complete match details will be announced after Fifth Year Festival, but one night will likely feature several ROH vs. DG matches and ROH wants to do a 6-man tag match like the one from Supercard Of Honor.

Another announcement about the Detroit shows is coming tomorrow on the main page of ROH's website.

Added to 2/17 in Philly is Lacey, Jimmy Jacobs & Adam Pearce vs. Daizee Haze, Colt Cabana & BJ Whitmer in a street fight.

There are a lot of interesting rumblings and rumors spreading throughout the ROH locker room.

Things are heating up in FIP. March 10th in Crystal River will be a special night as FIP presents "The First Annual Eddie Graham Memorial Battle Of The Belts" and it will feature a one night, eight man tournament to crown the first Florida Heritage Champion. To keep in line with the "Battle Of The Belts" theme all the current FIP champions will be in the tournament to see who is the best champion. The only title on the line will be the Florida Heritage Title. Seven of the eight participants have been announced. So far the tournament features FIP Heavyweight Champion Roderick Strong, FIP Tag Team Champions Jay & Mark Briscoe, Shingo, Erick Stevens, Larry Sweeney and Delirious. Check www.FullImpactPro.com for more building and ticket info.

Here is the latest updated card for 2/17:
Homicide or Jimmy Rave vs. Takeshi Morishima for the ROH World Title

Samoa Joe vs. Davey Richards in Joe's final Philly match

Christopher Daniels & Matt Sydal, if still ROH World Tag Team Champions, vs. Jack Evans & Shingo for the titles

Roderick Strong vs. Delirious for the FIP Heavyweight Title

Austin Aries vs. Claudio Castagnoli

The Briscoes vs. El Generico & Kevin Steen

Adam Pearce, Jimmy Jacobs & Lacey vs. BJ Whitmer, Colt Cabana & Daizee Haze in a 6 person Street Fight

Nigel McGuinness likely in action, match TBA

I didn't mention it but the Newswire said Lacey paid Pearce so it sounds like she's trying to get him into Lacey's Angels or it's storyline advancement given Cabana & Albright (old rivals) are on the other team. Almost certainly means Hagadorn's coming along too.

I also hope that they find a way to get Evans into the 6-man or one of those DG matches. He's just too awesome of a high-flyer to not include, but it would get more interesting if he & Shingo are able to get their shot at the tag titles and win them.
