Controversial Larry Sweeney “rape angle” will be included on ROH DVD

ROH booker Gabe Sapolsky posted a statement on the ROH message board to announce that the Larry Sweeney rape angle will be included on the Sixth Anniversary DVD. “After putting together the DVD last night, I felt that this segment needed to go on so you could judge it for yourself,” Sapolsky wrote. “I stand by my apology and once again apologize if you were offended.
“Our goal in ROH is not to be controversial or offensive line some promotions. Our goal is to give you an enjoyable wrestling product. I still maintain that you will not see anything like this from ROH again.” To read the full message board post, visit ROHWrestling.com.
Powell’s POV: I’m looking forward to seeing the angle with my own eyes. I know this decision won’t sit well with a lot of people and it’s a questionable decision from a business standpoint. There’s a chance that it could lead to increased DVD sales due to the all the notoriety the angle has received, but the flip side is that the company could face backlash from fans who are offended by the angle.
