 		Another update.
Is this really about wrestling?
If I'm not mistaken, that's a real photo....

 		Photo?
Mabey someone could clarify it but doesn't that pic look a little holocosty to anyone else (i could totaly be on the wrong track here!)
By the way anyone read the comments? is the a part of this did you guys write them or what they are almost as creepy as the blog itself.

 		Someone mentioned they thought the photo was from the hanging of the conspirators of Abraham Lincoln's murder. Not sure how true that is, though the clothes people are wearing could fit the timeframe.

And yes, this is connected to Ring of Honor Wrestling, but I'm honestly not that sure it's an type of ARG anymore. There hasn't been any type of interactivity since the first few days, aside from vague responses to things said in the comments section of the blog. If you remember when this site went live, the broken links that said "August 10, Boston, MA" and "August 11, Philadelphia". The company held shows in those cities on said dates.

You may also remember that a few days prior to that weekend the links were changed from the hidden words to hidden illustrations. I believe they were the Boston Tea Party and the signing of the Declaration of Independence. Well on the evening of Friday, August 10 the Chris Hero vs Nigel McGuiness Pure Wrestling match was interrupted when the lights went out and a message repeated over the PA something to the effect of "Project 161 is real. We are coming. This is your last warning." Some people on the ROH Forums liken the interruption of the Pure Rules match to the acts of the Boston Tea Party in that the ROH fans hold the concept of wrestling so dear that they would be angered and offended at the disruption of the match. I may not be explaining it very properly, honestly, so if you have any questions just ask.

*A Pure Wrestling Rules match is basically the exact opposite of a street fight. No closed fists, only a 20 count outside the ring, a limited number of times you can use the ropes to break holds.*

Then the next night in Philadelphia a man was handing out P161 tshirts to a select few individuals before the event. During the 2nd match on the card, he made his way into the building and, touting a megaphone, rushed the ring. At was at this point he was tackled and taken off by security, and no one could really get what he was screaming. Probably something similar to the night before.

There are 2 shows this weekend, so I expect something to happen.

Ahhh… Bright lights on the horizon; there is no better place in the world than New York City. A megalopolis so encompassing that its vastness sprawls further than even God can see. And that is probably a good thing, because I imagine He'd be as disappointed as we are.


Speaking of such a thing—disenchantment that is—I must say that I am sorely let down by you. We weren't taking a break kids; we've been preparing. Just in case we've slipped your minds, remember, you haven't slipped ours. And with a big weekend of shows upcoming, you've got to know that our presence will be not just heard, but felt.

Our meager beginnings will seem like nothing after we're through with you, Hartford and you, Manhattan. We've been building. Not just an army, not just an impression, but a revolution. One piece at a time we have dissolved the veil. Close enough now that maybe after this weekend our countenance may be disclosed.

Do not blink. You might miss it. Do not look too far. You might pass it by. And mostly importantly, finders keepers.

 		Now one of the trolls that has been posting his own little "fan art" in the comments section has discovered the Wyoming Incident vids and has begun spamming them in the comments section. Fun times.

Strangely enough, I kind of miss that game. I still find myself occasionally checking in on the Happy Cube site.

If I had a quarter for every mile I've traveled for this business, I'd have garnered more than I've ever earned by traveling those miles for collected paydays and signed autographs.
Doing the work isn't the problem. I could smile a million more empty smiles, and scribble to the moon on every single napkin/scrap of paper/event program brought to me by any nameless, faceless, heartless asshole with a sanctimonious grin on his face. I'll hug all your kids, and take pictures with them all, individually, and then together. I'll shake your hand while you forget for a second, that later that night you've got message boards to fill with hate.
Now, try not to let our little moment there dictate the star rating of my match that you've jotted down in your little notebook. Because God knows we mustn't compromise integrity. Honesty is at a premium people; and the price? Evidently, more than any of you can afford, so why bother to collect.
I chose this profession, yes. And I take responsibility for the inequity that is the price of this so-called glory. Part of my conundrum, though, is that dreams always give way to a common version of the truth. And in our haste, we lose track of what is avant-garde. If you have the power, truth is what you make it. This realization is how you are unlike us.
The other part of the problem is that I had allowed you, as ordinary people, to infiltrate my psyche. Thus, you had the advantage. Luckily, revolutions make me feel young again. And with this, we are free.
Free from the pitfalls of reality.
Free from you, and your smug articulations.
Free, because when your jaws hit the floor, may it be in Manhattan or Hartford or Detroit or Chicago, the silence will resonate, and silence my friend, is our greatest achievement.
As we amass your honesty, we'll collect your heads as well.

 		Apparently they were giving out dvd's at last night's show in NY, as well as more t-shirts. No clues in the shirts, so I'm not expecting anything in the dvd's, if it even makes its way online.


Here's to hoping....

This showed up shortly after the Manhattan ROH show ended.

And that is apparently what was on the DVDs that got handed out before the show.

 		Just got this message from Project 161:


Quote:
Tonight the questions will be answered.

The time is upon us.

The reveal is here.

www.Project161.com

Spread the message to those who believe in the cause.



The blog was updated Wed, too:

Now you will find out who we are....

Counting days…

Counting hours…

Counting minutes…

Every mystery has six questions that are vital to its secrecy, its intrigue, and its solution. By first giving you the breathing room to answer the questions for yourself, we have only further developed our legend. By then giving you pieces and probability, we have at the same time narrowed and dilated your peripheral. And finally, by giving you depth, with bits of honesty and valor, we have gained your respect. When the curtain falls on this weekend, eyes will be open as far as jaws will be dropped. History will be scratched out and rewritten by the hands of a new revolution. A revolution you thought you figured out and dispelled, but one that has quietly kept you by its side throughout this waiting game.

On a side note, it seems that the dumbest of the brutes have caught wind of our on goings. They can't put their redneck fingers on it yet, but who's surprised by that? They can't even count their own missing teeth, let alone put two and two together. It's almost too easy…

Counting seconds until all that's been building and building for months will come to a head. There's not much left to be said, and after all the speculation, and all the enticement, and all the mystery, the conclusion to this prelude will be well worth the wait. But before we give you the revolution, shouldn't you at least know who we are? Shouldn't we be on a first name basis?

No more clues. Tune in back here this Thursday night for an unveiling of sorts; a matinee, if you will. Project 161 will reveal exactly who we are, and what we're here for. Until next time…fight the good fight.



Not much longer I suppose, though I think they may try to swerve the reveal tonight and save it for the show this Saturday.
