— SITE NOTE: I will be taking the train down to New York City today for the ROH live I-PPV later tonight at the Manhattan Center. My train arrives at Penn Station around 5EST this evening. There are some very good matches on the card and Tyler Black is scheduled to lose the ROH World Title to Roderick Strong so this should be good. The event is sold out but you can view it live on GoFightLive.tv tonight. It’s a helluva’ card and likely worth ordering. Hope to see some of you guys tonight in New York City!! Also note that news will also be a little slow from now until tomorrow (Sunday) around noon EST as I will not be here. My train doesn’t get back here in Albany, NY until around 3AM so I’ll catch up tomorrow morning when I get back.
