A few weeks back, news broke on the internet claiming WWE was trying to purchase rival pro wrestling promotion Ring of Honor. The reports were substantiated by wrestling's premiere journalist, Dave Meltzer. However, at the time, ROH downplayed the story to Bleeding Cool, calling it "speculative rumors" and "unsubstantiated." In an interview with The Baltimore Sun this weekend, ROH COO Joe Koff conclusively denied the rumors, telling the paper:

It was not a story. It was not a story when it came out. I think people want to make a story out of nothing. I'm very open in conversations with very many different wrestling promotions. And I think sometimes because I don't share a lot of stuff, we're very private about what we do. I think it raises speculation. I think this thing with the WWE really started because we were in conversations about content for Kevin Owens' DVD. There was a lot of back and forth between the two companies. I think that was the seed that drove that story.

Check out the interview in full for more on Ring of Honor's success over the past few months culminating in drawing 3600 fans to their Supercard of Honor event on Wrestlemania weekend, the Hardys' run in ROH, and future plans.

A prophecy once said that in the comic book industry's darkest days, a hero would come to lead the people through a plague of overpriced floppies, incentive variant covers, #1 issue reboots, and super-mega-crossover events. Sadly, that prophecy was wrong. Oh, Jude Terror was right. For ten years. About everything. But nobody listened. And so, Jude Terror has moved on to a more important mission: turning Bleeding Cool into a pro wrestling dirt sheet!
