"CONTRACTED ROH STAR DEPARTS COMPANY
by Mike Johnson
I don't have all the details yet but the word going around is that Jimmy Rave, who was under contract to Ring of Honor, has parted ways with the company and will no longer be working for ROH or its sister promotion Florida's Full Impact Pro. I was told the parting was not an amicable deal but I don't know anything beyond that."
It would be a shame if Rave left as he was really on a roll. Then again this might just be a rumour with no truth to it, so who knows.

Take it for what it's worth.

Tons of details on the Rave/ROH split!
-This is not an angle as some may have thought, Jimmy Rave has received his official release from Ring of Honor and is finished with the promotion. While many feel that there have been issues brewing for a while, the apparent last straw was last weekend in Deer Park, Long Island. Rave suffered an ear injury during his bout, and after his match he apparently demanded to talk to ROH officials during the show; it was then that Rave declared that he was leaving the company and wanted a release.
-Some in the company feel that Rave was just lashing out, but with his history of him being unhappy, ROH decided to use the money they would invest in him and use it elsewhere; like another under card talent they could lock into a contract. There is believed to be a lot of heat of Rave due to the way he went about things, as he unprofessionally confronted management during a show. He has also been dropped from FIP, the sister promotion of ROH, which Gabe Sapolsky also books for.
-Many wrestlers saw the move coming, as it had been obvious that Rave had not been happy backstage. Rave was actually telling others at the ROH event in Edison, NJ this past Saturday that he thought he was about to be released. People close to Rave feel that the build-up of injuries suffered by Rave in recent months had added to his attitude. Contrary to some reports, Rave wasn't receiving medical insurance as part of his ROH deal; which is seen by many as very one-sided in favor of ROH and they don't guarantee a number of dates for the performers.

That's a shame as I've really enjoyed Rave more and more in his cocky heel character. He has gone through a string of injuries lately and I remember how angry he was when Nigel broke his jaw. Good luck to ya, Jimmy!

I dont know what to believe anymore with this and 161 everythings suspect and I love it. Really too bad if he really is gone because I really like Jimmy. If he is in this new 161 stable(if it does or does not exsist) I will mark out pretty hard though.

If he is in this new 161 stable(if it does or does not exsist) I will mark out pretty hard though. My first thought exactly. Wouldn't surprise me to see Rave back in some capacity as we Internet Smarks continue to feed the rumor mill with our speculations. |
