November 6th: ROH World Tag Team Champions Chris Hero & Claudio
Castagnoli are two of the most wanted men in ROH. They will be faced
with two tough title defenses on 11/24 in Long Island and 11/25 in
Edison. Long Island will see the final match pitting Hero &
Castagnoli vs. Austin Aries & Roderick Strong. Last Saturday in
Philly saw Aries & Strong disqualified when Aries used Claudio's
metal briefcase. This won't happen in Long Island because the match
will be No DQ!!! The feud will get settled in Long Island.
November 6th: If Hero & Castagnoli make it past Aries & Strong, they
will defend the belts on 11/25 in Edison, NJ against Christopher
Daniels & Matt Sydal. This match will take place whether the titles
are on the line or not. Daniels & Sydal defeated Hero & Castagnoli
respectively in singles matches last Friday in Braintree, MA. Hero &
Castagnoli attacked Daniels and hit him with the KRS-1 last Saturday
in Philly. Now Edison, NJ will see the match and depending on what
happens in Long Island it could be for the World Tag Team Titles!!!

November 6th: The days of toilet paper showers in ROH is over. After
last Saturday's ugly incident where Jimmy Rave snapped after a roll
was thrown at him after his match, TP is now banned (except in the
bathrooms obviously). The TP was something for The Embassy, but now
Rave is trying to move onto the next chapter of his career. Nigel
McGuinness had some words for Rave after the incident and now Rave
has challenged him to a match. It will be Rave vs. McGuinness on
11/25 in Edison, NJ.
November 6th: ROH Commissioner Jim Cornette has been impeached.
Cornette and ROH have now parted ways. There are no plans to name a
new commissioner. One of the things that originally made ROH
different was the fact that there weren't any authority figures
dominating the mic time. ROH will go back to that principal. The
reign of ROH Commissioner Jim Cornette officially ended on November
4th in Philadelphia. Cornette has been descending into madness since
July 15th when he whipped Homicide after Cage Of Death. The
Commissioner hit rock bottom and went completely insane on 11/4
leading to the fans dismissing him. Here is a quick timeline of what
led to Cornette's departure from ROH:
-Although this was not made public, there were concerns in the ROH
offices after the 10/28 show about Cornette as ROH Commissioner.
Cornette had been making some questionable rulings and was no longer
impartial.
-Homicide brings Konnan to ROH on 11/4. This is significant because
Konnan knows how to play the political game and now Homicide had a
political ally in his corner.
-During the course of the 11/4 event, Cornette's descent into
madness hits rock bottom. He goes completely insane. He makes
ridiculous rules for the Fight Without Honor pitting Homicide vs.
Steve Corino that completely go against everything ROH was built on.
He then even goes so far as to cancel the main event. Cornette has
become the evil heel commissioner that he promised never to be.
-Behind the scenes, Konnan goes to the ROH owner and matchmaker to
discuss Cornette's insanity.
-Cornette shows his complete insanity and says to the live crowd
that the main event of Homicide vs. Corino is canceled and that
Homicide is out of ROH. Cornette then backs himself into a corner
and says that it is either him or Homicide in ROH. Konnan comes out
with the support of ROH's owner and matchmaker and asks the fans if
they want Homicide or Cornette. The fans side with Homicide and
Cornette is escorted out of the building by security.
Jim Cornette's time as ROH Commissioner provided many memorable
promos and moments. Cornette was instrumental in leading the ROH
troops against CZW. However, once he turned his attention to
Homicide, Cornette slowly went insane and it reached a climax on
11/4 in Philadelphia. Cornette is now out of ROH and has no return
dates scheduled. The ROH/Cornette relationship has suffered an ugly
break up.
