UPDATE on this weekend's events in Milwaukee and Chicago Ridge: MATT SYDAL has just informed Ring of Honor that he will not be medically cleared to compete on March 13th and 14th. Sydal has been diagnosed with a minor neck injury and already on the path to recovery, but his doctor has ordered he refrain from physical competition this weekend.

However, Matt Sydal WILL still appear in Milwaukee and Chicago as part of the CONQUEST TOUR! He will be in the house both nights to sign autographs and meet fans. There's no doubt Sydal will be watching all the action carefully and be back in the ring ASAP!

This is a great move by ROH. I've been reading some old observers about Watts' policies running WCW, and Dave really put over the idea that if you're hurt, you should still be at the show if you're well enough to travel to ensure that the fans don't feel cheated. An autograph session is a good way to do that.

you still need to pay for the trip and all, so a lot of promotions won't deal with a signing appearance. I think PWG gets away with this too just because wrestlers like to hang out at PWG shows regardless
