February 21st: Julius Smokes has raised some eyebrows with his statement that Jigsaw must win the ROH World Tag Titles along with Ruckus against Davey Richards & Rocky Romero this Saturday in New York or show his face. This is not a ROH stipulation, but rather something Smokes has said to motivate Jigsaw. We don't know if Jigsaw will indeed unmask if The Vulture Squad don't win the straps. Will Jigsaw unmask if his team loses or will this motivation push him and Ruckus to the ROH World Tag Team Titles? The result of this one is going to be very interesting.
February 21st: Larry Sweeney called the ROH offices yesterday to say that everyone will be talking about Sweet & Sour Inc. after this weekend.
