Flip Gordon Talks Winning ROH Sea Of Honor Tournament On Chris Jericho's Cruise - Wrestling Inc. |
Chris Jericho's Rock N Wrestling Rager at Sea wrapped up on Wednesday after a five-day voyage from Miami to the Bahamas and back. Among the festivities on board was a 16-man Sea of Honor tournament to determine the No. 1 contender for the ROH Heavyweight Championship. |
Many of the matches that took place on the cruise will air on Fite TV, but the results are already in including for the Sea of Honor tournament. Flip Gordon emerged victorious and he talked about his experience on the cruise with Nick Hausman of Wrestling Inc. |
"I am 5-0 afloat," exclaimed Gordon. "I went undefeated. I won the Sea of Honor tournament. I now have an opportunity at Jay Lethal's ROH Heavyweight Championship. So, the cruise was amazing, they treated me very well. I hope they do it again next year. I can't wait! |
Before Gordon takes on Lethal for a chance to win ROH Heavyweight gold, he has another chance to win an ROH championship title shot this Sunday at Survival of the Fittest. If Gordon wins his triple threat match and then wins the six-man mayhem match at the end of the night, then he would get a second ROH Heavyweight ti... |
"Another one," Gordon said about possibly having two title shots at his disposal. "[It] just solidifies me as the No. 1 contender and I don't have a problem with that whatsoever." |
While Gordon spilled the beans on him winning the Sea of Honor tournament, he didn't go into too much detail about how his two potential title shots would work out. |
"As you know, I have a feud going with Bully Ray right now and that is far from over," stated Gordon. "So, I want to focus on that and I need to get back at him. On ROH television this week, he lashed me ten times with a Singapore cane. I have not forgotten about that just like I have not forgotten about my future titl... |
Survival of the Fittest will take place in Columbus, Ohio on Nov. 4 and a full list of upcoming ROH events can be viewed here. |
Taoiseach Leo Varadkar on Wednesday again declined to give his views on the report of the Oireachtas Committee on the Eighth Amendment, which has recommended legislating for abortion on request up to 12 weeks.

"The government can't just sew together an outfit and dress the people up by force. We do not see ourselves or see our future in this draft. The Shia and Kurdish authorities who drafted it are promoting their own interests, not those of all Iraqis," said Gazwan Abd al-Sattar, 27, a Sunni Arab teacher voting in the nort... |
"I followed the advice of Grand Ayat Allah Ali Al-Sistani, our great cleric. He said to vote yes and he knows what is best for us," said Jalal Fuad, 35, a self-employed Shia, who voted yes in Baghdad, even though he had not read the draft constitution. |
"The constitution is a sign of civilisation. We consider this a day of great achievement. This constitution has come after heavy sacrifices. It is a new birth," said Prime Minister Ibrahim al-Jaafari, after casting one of the first ballots in Baghdad after Iraq's polls opened at 7am (0300 GMT). |
"I hope they have a really big turnout. The closer they get to independence, the closer we get to going home," US marine Lance Corporal Sam Smithson of Sacramento, California, said as he helped guard the entrance of a polling station in the city of Haditha, where few cast ballots. |
"This voting is for my future, the future of my children, my family and the rest of the Iraqi people. It is a new law and a new constitution and I have voted yes for it," said Jalal Keo, an Iraqi National Guard soldier who voted in the southern city of Basra. |
"The UN is here to help the Iraqi people, to help them determine their future, and we have facilitated the work of the Iraqi Independent Electoral Commission," said Carina Perelli, director of the Electoral Assistance Division of the United Nations, speaking in Baghdad. |
"Sunni Arabs closed themselves out of the political process by boycotting January's election. That was a big mistake. We must all go to the polls and vote today against a constitution that would cancel out this country's Arab identity," said Harith Abd al-Karim, 46, a Sunni who voted no in Falluja. |
A Wigan couple who met after losing family members to rare degenerative conditions are set to take on a mammoth trek for charity. |
Hannah Daykin and Craig Ball, from Orrell, met at university in 2013, the pair having been united through social media having both raised money for Progressive Supranuclear Palsy, a neurological condition caused by a loss of nerve cells in the brain. |
In 2008, Hannah’s dad David was diagnosed with the condition and, sadly, succumbed to it just four years later. |
Ever since, the civil service employee has dedicated vast amounts of time and energy into raising money and awareness of the condition. |
The PSP Association, which listed words like adventure holiday, surfing, marathon, challenge, Sahara then Great Wall of China Trek. |
Hannah, who carried the Olympic torch in 2012 as recognition for her incredible dedication to the PSP Association, received news that they would need to raise £5,000 in less than 10 months for the charity to take part. |
Craig has also raised money for degenerative diseases following the death of his nan in 2010, who suffered from corticobasel disease, a condition similar to PSP. |
She added: “It took me almost a whole month to tell him I would go but as soon as I did, we started planning for our Chinese New Year party and then got into training for the Yorkshire Three Peaks on April bank holiday – which almost killed me. I considered lying down and waiting for the rescue helicopter to find me. T... |
What will it take to grow the e-book market? Innovation, innovation, and more innovation! |
I've been fascinated by recent media reports and chatter about Amazon's new Kindle, especially the decision to create an iPhone application for delivering digital books. Many in the media wondered if creating an iPhone app would cannibalize sales of the Kindle. Some suggested that Apple has ceded the e-book market to A... |
I've been a fan of e-books for a long time; in fact, I've worked on various projects related to electronic book technology for over ten years. I was an adviser to Xerox PARC's digital paper project in the late 1990s, working on various tech issues related to the whole concept of delivering e-books to the public. But ev... |
From the beginning, the Kindle's price ensured a limited market appeal. Still, even though it's expensive, it's the first device to make reading digital books pleasurable. The reality is that Amazon needed a "proof of concept" to help jump-start the market, but Amazon's interest has never been in the hardware business.... |
As for Apple ceding the e-book market to Amazon, that is probably true in the broader sense. However, if there's one company that could really innovate around this idea, it's Apple. Apple launched the multimedia revolution in the '80s by using the Mac platform to integrate text and images, and added video to documents ... |
The likelihood of being able to do that with a Kindle's E Ink electronic paper screen any time in the near future is small. The problem with electronic screens is their slow pixel-refresh rate, which makes moving images (and especially video) impossible for them to handle today. And getting these screens to display col... |

(JTA) — President Donald Trump reportedly overruled a decision by his national security adviser in order to keep a National Security Council aide, Ezra Cohen-Watnick, in his current position. |
Lt. Gen. H.R. McMaster had told Cohen-Watnick, senior director for intelligence programs at the NSC, that he would be moved to a different position at the NSC after CIA officials had pushed for his ouster, according to Politico. |
Trump overruled the decision on Sunday after Cohen-Watnick, 30, appealed to White House advisers Stephen Bannon and Jared Kushner, Trump’s Jewish son-in-law, Politico reported, citing “two people with knowledge of the episode.” Cohen-Watnick had become close with Bannon and Kushner while working on the Trump transition... |
Cohen-Watnick was recruited to the transition team by McMaster’s predecessor, Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn, who resigned as national security adviser last month after acknowledging that he had misled administration officials about a phone call he had with the Russian ambassador in December. Cohen-Watnick had worked under Fly... |
Cohen-Watnick celebrated his engagement to Rebecca Miller in November at Ohr Kodesh Congregation, a Conservative synagogue outside Washington, D.C., according to a synagogue newsletter. |
President Maithripala Sirisena, determined to wage a war against drug menace, had decided to draft a Special Provisions Act on Drug Control in order to vest Police Powers to Three-forces within legal limitations, decided by the Attorney General to be effective for a period of two years, Cabinet Spokesman Gayantha Karun... |
Minister Karunathilaka said the President Sirisena sought the Cabinet Approval on Tuesday (10) to instruct the Legal Draftsman to draft the Act. |
“Rapidly spreading drug menace is a main social as well as economic issue that is faced by Sri Lanka at present. The assistance of the Special Task Force of Sri Lanka Police and the Triforces are obtained by the Narcotic Bureau of the Sri Lanka Police and regional police to further expand their service through avoiding... |
“There has been a steady increase of drug-related arrests and volume of heroin, cannabis and cocaine by Sri Lanka Police from 2015 to 23rd April 2018,” he said. |
“This was discussed at the meetings of the Presidential Task Force on Drug Prevention, as well and it has been observed that it is suitable to increase active contribution of the Triforces in order to control the drug trafficking in a successful manner and this task can be made more productive and efficient by giving p... |
What will happen to politicians engaged in drug smuggling? will they continue to get protection from Tri forces? |
End up a farce. Police catching only street vendors but never follow up to see who gave him the drugs to sell. Customs catch couriers but never care to whom will these are to be deivered (importer). So there are vendors and couriers ready to risk but importers laughing all the way. |
These all.are fake talks in thus republic of roberies.what to talk.just execute convicted killers and other traitors. |
Hey take a leaf out of Rodrigo Duterte's(Prez of Philippines) book!!! Wipe-out the drug menace from SL Soil!!!?? |
How can we eradicate the drug menace by killing innocent ppl? |
Unlike terrorist, these drug kingpins have tons of money to proect themselves with high-priced Lawyers!!! And conduct their thriving business without any hindrance!!!?? |
Firstly Government have to instruct all politicians to not to help any Drug dealers, Also Election commission must obtain report from police on Drugs related connection on contestants in future elections. Recently one CMC member gunned down, Police spokesman told that he is to be convicted drugs related crime, Presiden... |
You or god can never stop drugs which is used by people, you should address the reason why people escape the reality. |
Tri-Forces should not be deployed to do the Polce Duties. This will be the beginning of another serious problems.Country have a solution, appoint Field Marshall Sarath Fonseka as the Minister Incharge of Law and Order. He will do the Job, creditably well.The most important thing are SF's experience, capability, knowled... |
That dream never come a reality due to hidden agendas among dirty politics in Sri Lanka. |
These special provisions acts will enable you to catch the sprats not the sharks. The sharks seem to have unofficial constitutional immunity. Please disclose the names of the importers who brought narcotics in containers and then enact any law, if you are genuine and serious. |
Because of his knowledge, experience, can do atitude, Battle-Hardenness, etc,etc, Field Marshall Sarath Fonseka is UNIQUE. No any other person can match his capabilities. Please appoint him as the Minister Incharge of Law and Order. He will address the all issue pertaining to Law and Order. |
Isn't it better to issue Unforms of the Tri-Forces to Polce Men and Women. It come to the same. |
Drug dealers are the main fund suppliers for the Politicians. Main dealers always be protected only small ones are caught and sentenced. |
The police know who the drug smuggling kingpins (who are under the protection of politicians) are. There's no argument on that. Rope them in if the govt has got the guts and this menace will die a natural death. |
Only solution is to appoint FM Sarath Fonseka as the law and order minister with this amendment, he will do wonders. |
Let these three forces to have maximum powers to eradicate drug menace. |
My3, Does not want to Appoint Field Marshall Sarath Fonseka as the Minster Incharge of Law and Order.My3, Does not want to introduce the Death Penalty.Why? |
Why is the President not taking same keen interest in bringing the previous regime leaders financial corruption cases to the front ? |
HAPPIER DAYS: Signwriter Matt Redfern putting the finishing touches to Mike Sabin's car as the former Kaitaia detective prepares to launch his 2011 election campaign. |
Prime Minister John Key has described his former Northland colleague Mike Sabin as potentially having the makings of a Cabinet minister. |
Mr Sabin announced on Friday that he had resigned from Parliament, effective immediately, because of "personal issues" that were best dealt with outside Parliament. He has made no further comment. |
Mr Key said the party had not asked for his resignation. |
"Up until his resignation I've had enormous confidence in him as an MP," he added. |
"Actually I think he has performed very strongly. He's got a great grasp of some of the policy area. I actually saw him as someone that would be potentially a future Cabinet minister if we were in government." |
He had been aware that Mr Sabin, who had been a good, hard-working local MP, had been planning to resign one or two days before he did so, and had become aware of the issues he had referred to in about the last week of the parliamentary term last year. |
"He made a very significant contribution to our caucus. He's a loss in terms of the contribution I've seen him make as a politician," he said. |
National Party president Peter Goodfellow also acknowledged Mr Sabin's service his constituents and the party since his election in 2011, while former Northland electorate chairwoman Sally Macauley said his resignation was extremely disappointing for the party, but she understood his decision, and was looking forward t... |
"I've known Mike for more than eight years, initially through the good work he did to eradicate methamphetamine from the community," she said. |
"He was totally dedicated to enhancing Northland's economic development and attracting industry to the region. |
"It's a demanding job, not only involving long days in Parliament but also the need to listen to constituents. |
"This is a very hard time for Mike, and we must respect his privacy," she added. She did not believe Mr Sabin's resignation would affect support for the party or its new candidate. |
Meanwhile Mr Sabin's main rival in last year's election, Labour candidate Willow-Jean Prime, is keen to contest the seat again, despite having become a mother for the first time last week. The lawyer and current Far North District councillor, who lives near Moerewa, said she had already contacted the party's general se... |
Last year she won 8969 electorate votes to Mr Sabin's 18,269, reducing his 2011 majority by more than 2000 votes. |
Mr Sabin won the candidacy for one of the safest seats in the country in 2011 following John Carter's retirement after 24 years. Also shortlisted were YWCA manager Sarah Davies (Taheke), farmer, businessman and former detective Matt King (Okaihau), company director Ken Rintoul (Okaihau) and Kaitaia school teacher (now ... |
