Real-Life ‘Spiked’ Cereal Story, Burchill Bookings, ROH/’Mania

— http://www.insidebayarea.com/search/ci_14494599 – Coming off RAW – this is just crazy. At least a midget wasn’t the one who ‘spiked’ it this time.

— This isn’t wrestling news but Jay Leno’s return to The Tonight Show drew huge ratings for NBC last night. The show did a 5.4 rating, 80% better than David Letterman’s 3.0 rating. Jimmy Kimmel Live drew a 1.8. Jimmy Fallon also benefited from following Leno’s big audience, as his show beat The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson by 40%. Go Team Conan!!

— On Sunday May 30th, WWE will return to the Fed-Ex Forum in Memphis, Tennessee for a 5PM show. Tickets will go on sale on April 24th at 10AM.

— For promoters looking to book Paul Burchill, he can be contacted via email at BurchillWrestling@hotmail.com. Burchill sent out a note earlier today announcing this.

— ROH made the following announcement, regarding matches with Austin Aries, Roderick Strong and Tyler Black in Phoenix…. On March 26 and 27 in Phoenix, Roderick Strong and Tyler Black look to prove a point. On March 26th, World Champion Tyler Black will attempt to beat Roderick Strong and Austin Aries back-to-back in the same night, while on March 27; Strong tries his hand at Black and Aries. Aries, unexpectedly, signed on as the third man in the fold. “If this doesn’t shut ‘em both up,” said Aries, “then nothing will. I signed on for a simple reason – beating these guys will virtually guarantee my crack at the title. I won’t be surprised if Roddy gets the first (title) shot at Tyler and wins, so when I beat them both in Phoenix I cement my place. And these two are too stupid to realize that my matches take place over two days, where they have to go one-after-the-other back-to-back in one day to get it done. Once again it’s advantage A-Double.” The only question remaining is whether or not the World Title will be on the line when ROH rolls into Phoenix. ROH officials have yet to comment on the matter, only saying, “an announcement regarding Tyler Black’s first defense of the World Title is imminent.” If the gold is up for grabs, then this personal challenge goes onto entirely uncertain ground. One thing, however, is certain: Black, Strong, and Aries will do battle in Phoenix. And title at stake or not, once the dust settles in the desert Southwest, the championship picture in Ring of Honor will be crystal clear. Can ‘One’ win ‘Two’ in the Grand Canyon State? Or as Aries believes, will this personal war of attrition only open the door for the ‘greatest man that ever lived’? Get your tickets now and be a part of it all in person to find out! We’ll have more on this huge challenge as it unfolds.
