Blogger acknowledges his own mistake in raising expectations for ROH's "huge announcement" tease, says the company also messed up

Newsday blogger Alfonso Castillo acknowledged "my own mistake" in speculating that Ring of Honor's tease for a "huge announcement" could have been related to a television deal. "Nevertheless, none of this gets ROH off the hook for promising a 'huge announcement' in a press release sent to the media and failing to deliver,' Castillo adds. You can check out his full blog at Newsday.com.

Powell’s POV: The company that owns Newsday should turn over Castillo to the angry mob of blind ROH defenders so that they can throw rotten fruit and stones at his miserable head for daring to speculate over a "huge announcement" tease.

As I wrote yesterday, I'm willing to give ROH the benefit of the doubt if they claim they mistakenly overhyped their 33 percent sale. However, that doesn't change the fact that they could have done something to quell the speculation once they recognized that many fans expected more than the company planned to deliver.
