Site News - "Picture of the Week" and RRO Awards Ceremony!!

----I am still making upgrades for the site. But, you may go to the homepage – www.rronews.com and check out all the new links, the “Breaking News” feed, “Picture of the Week” [a new one EVERY Tuesday!!] and the Dustin Starr “World of Wrestling” blog feed. We had some technical difficulties sometime last night as Starr’s Blog disappeared and when you hit his site button it went to the NBW web site. Our apologies – I believe we got all the “kinks” worked out. Make sure to refresh your browser and if you find any links that do not work yet please send me an e-mail.

----I was contacted by TLCW last weekend to be part of a banquet event which will include an awards ceremony featuring RRO Awards 2007. This will be part of their big “Mayhem” event this Saturday night. If you won an award – listed below – then you are encouraged to attend the event. If you do not work for TLCW and work for another promotion in the area, then the awards part of the banquet will be over by 6:30 PM – giving you plenty of time to get to your show. Please contact me for more information.
