The “Pick 6” Contenders Series
Friday, November 06, 2009
Over the past several weeks, ROH officials and Executive Producer Jim Cornette have been working behind the scenes to address World Champion Austin Aries and his “Austin Aries Lucky Lottery”, which has been universally viewed as a farce, and ended with Tyler Black falling victim to a vicious fireball attack.
ROH officials unanimously agreed on the formation of a new and objective ranking system which would base championship matches on the merits of a competitor’s record, at the same time eliminating the chance for unfair or bogus title defenses, and creating a new sense of competition between wrestlers who are “climbing the ladder”.
It is with these ideals in mind that we are happy to proudly introduce the “Pick 6” Contenders Series.
To begin, twelve competitors have been selected by ROH on HDNet Executive Producer Jim Cornette to compete in six singles matches with the winners being seeded by ROH officials from one-to-six. Once the initial ranking is established, the “Pick 6” Contenders Series will function as follows:
- Only wrestlers ranked in the “Pick 6” are eligible to challenge for the ROH World Championship.
- The higher a wrestler is seeded, the more leverage he has in determining the scheduling of championship matches.
- Wrestlers securing victories in “Pick 6” matchups earn a match bonus.
- Once the rankings are set, wrestlers can only enter the “Pick 6” Standings by defeating a ranked wrestler.
- An unranked wrestler that defeats a “Pick 6” Contender assumes that wrestler’s spot, and everyone lower slides down one rank. The lower a wrestler is ranked, the more they have to lose.
ROH officials are encouraged by the simplicity offered by this system and look forward to a establishing a new level of competition around the greatest prize in our sport – The Ring of Honor World Championship.
Not sure how I feel about this. It's intriguing but I can't really form an opinion until this plays out more, since it only started last night. Could've come up with a better name, though.

I dunno how to make of this. It seems pretty good since they do have a big number of contenders right now and it could make the title hunt seem more interesting. But I didn't really care for the ranking system before, so I'll just see how it plays out.

I don't follow ROH, but I've heard it's pretty damn cool. I have to say, though, after reading the new ranking system put into place, it makes my head hurt.

Sounds like a poor effort to try and re-capture interest, but it's better than nothing. Reminds me slightly of the system they had originally when they started and I wasn't too high on it then though it could work now if they come up with some interesting angles with it.

It doesn't sound too overly complicated to me. I just wonder how long they can make it last until it really limits the booking around the world title scene.

Wow, I really like this a lot. I've always wanted to see something like this in wrestling(wasn't watching ROH when they had the original ranking system). I think it makes it seem a lot more realistic. This way we only see deserving contenders, and not like, Aries vs. Redwood again. So yeah, I love this.
Not a fan of the cheesy name for it though.

Sounds kind of lame. Especially the rule about a lower listed contender beating a "pick 6" talent. They take their position, that is crazy. Like anyone can just be thrown in to this system. I think ROH is fine as it is without this crazy ranking system.

Sounds like a buncha nonsense to me. No sir, I don't like it.
Sounds like too much to keep up with. Also, it says that ROH officials will pick the seeding, that sounds a bit shady, kayfabe. How are they going to pick who gets what position?
I'll stick to counting 3 points in Chikara plz >.>
