Super agent Larry Sweeney has pulled another power play. Sweeney has brought the historic NWA World Heavyweight Title to Ring Of Honor. Adam Pearce has been the NWA World Heavyweight Champion since winning a 16 man tournament on September 1st, 2007. However, ROH has never recognized the title. Now Sweeney is forcing the NWA World Heavyweight Title on ROH.
"What a glorious debut of a true belt with honor," Sweeney said. "Right on PPV I threw it in the face of ROH officials. I pulled out the belt they are afraid of because they know it's more prestigious. From Lou Thesz to Giant Baba to Terry Funk to Harley Race to Ric Flair to Adam Pearce, no belt in the history of wrestling has a prouder lineage. Now its under my control."
ROH World Champion Nigel McGuinness is actually the first to voice his opinion on the NWA Title. McGuinness believes this his belt is more prestigious in the modern era. This issue didn't take long to build. Nigel wants Pearce on June 27th in Dayton. The historic bout has already been signed. June 27th in Dayton will have ROH World Champion Nigel McGuinness vs. NWA World Heavyweight Champion Adam Pearce in a Title vs. Title Match!!!
"What closet to Sweeney find that dusty old belt," McGuinness said. "Now I know the NWA World Heavyweight Title has a rich history and I won't disrespect that. In fact, when I win the NWA World Title its history will become the history of the ROH World Title. There is only one place I want this match and that's Dayton. I still love the fans of Dayton and they still respect me because they've been with me since the beginning. I will make history on June 27th."
We'll have much more on this match in the upcoming weeks. The main event for June 27th has been signed and its Title vs. Title!!!
