REPORT: WWE In Talks To Buy Ring of Honor Wrestling!

Pro Wrestling Sheet has learned WWE and Sinclair Broadcast Group have recently discussed a potential buyout of Ring of Honor in secret … this according to sources.

Multiple sources with direct knowledge tell us the companies have been talking since January and things have been slowly progressing, with the plan being a full takeover if the deal is made official.

This would include the weekly TV show beginning to air on the WWE Network. No word at this point on whether every wrestler on the roster would continue working in ROH if it happens.

Keep in mind, there’s no actual deal on the table right now and discussions are simply that. This means the buyout could always fall through if both sides can’t agree on specifics.

Bomb Threat At Ring Of Honor Office Location – Suspect Shot 3 Times

Source: Pro Wrestling Sheet

A man wearing an animal onesie was shot by police Thursday outside of the post-production office for Ring of Honor … and it’s all because he pretended to have a bomb underneath the outfit.

According to CBS Baltimore, the man walked into Fox 45 — where one ROH office is housed — and said he needed the station to play something from his flash drive. He also said he had a bomb.

News spread fast through the building after security called 911 and sources tell us once the word was passed to ROH employees, they quickly grabbed their stuff and evacuated.

The man finally walked out of the building to confront police over an hour later, but was shot 3 times after he refused to remove his hands from his pockets. Turns out he didn’t have a bomb on him either.  The contraption was just chocolate candy bars wrapped in wires and a detonator looking device running down his sleeve.

The man is currently at the hospital getting treatment and is expected to survive.
