World Tag Titles Vacated Sunday, May 11, 2008
Right after returning to the locker room after last night's bout, one half of the ROH World Tag Team Champions Jay Briscoe vacated the belts. We will have more information within 24 hours in the next ROHwrestling.com Newswire. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Wow, never saw this coming. I wish they would have just dropped the belts to AOTF last night instead of vacating them. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
**UPDATE**
May 12th: In a shocker, ROH World Tag Team Champion Jay Briscoe vacated the belts after the Manhattan event. There will be an article on the main page of ROHwrestling.com later today explaining why Briscoe vacated the titles. There will be a tournament on June 6th in Hartford, CT to determine the new champions. ROH officials are not sure of the format of the tourney yet, but it will be announced this week at ROHwrestling.com. The first two teams are already entered and they are Jimmy Jacobs & Tyler Black of The Age Of The Fall and the duo of Kevin Steen & El Generico. Save 15-20% on tickets now at ROHwrestling.com. There are still some great ringside seats, but they are sure to go quick since you are guaranteed to witness new champions crowned in Hartford. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I hope Steenerico win the tourney and finally get the gold.

Eh, I don't follow ROH alot but I also agree it would've been better to drop 'em to AOTF rather than vacant them. But, they could always have something else in mind

...I don't know what to say. Hopefully the belt issue gets resolved quickly and smoothly. Until than, Steenerico for the win!

I'd love to see AOTF with the belts, but I think they didn't win them because it would be kind of weird to throw the belts on them at the moment with their Aries feud. Here's hoping for Steenerico as champs.

Just have a tournament the next show with the finals being in Philly the next night. End up giving the belts to Steenerico.

What a waste of pairing Brisco/Aries

I saw it coming, though really having AoTF win them would have been a tad better.

Other than the Briscoes, there hasn't been a great face team that has held the titles in quite sometime. Everyone wanted Steenerico to win the titles in the summer, It better happen now.

What a waste of pairing Brisco/Aries Pretty much so. I'm glad I havent bought any ROH dvds in a long time. Their booking is awful.

The Age of the Fall will probably beat Steenerico in the finals.

I can't believe the lack of love for NRC on here, with exception to HHH316. NRC for the gold, and actually hoping they hold it for a while.

So Mr. Smart Guy, I'd like to know how you know the booking is bad when you haven't bought any dvds in a long time? Secondly if Gabe was as awful as people here would like to think why is it he's been voted booker of the year for four straight years which coincided the continued growth both financially and logistically for his company?
