Chris Hero & Larry Sweeney will probably get a good feud with The Briscoe Brothers going this year, with the ROH Tag Team Titles being involved. I've seen worse. Far worse.
I can see Jimmy Rave winning the ROH World Title from Homicide in February. It gets the belt back onto a guy without WWE or TNA commitments, plus he's uber-over as a heel. His push has been going well, and he can work a pretty good match. Jimmy Rave vs. Nigel McGuinness in the UK? Tell me the crowd won't be hot for that one.
If Brent Albright continues to be impressive, I can see him taking the belt later in the year. I see Roderick Strong succeeding Jimmy Rave, and then Albright taking it from Strong. Here is how I can see the ROH World Title going in 2007:
* Homicide defends the Title successfully against all challengers lined-up (Chris Hero and Samoa Joe), and possibly even Jimmy Rave.
* Jimmy Rave wins the Title from Homicide (possibly in a rematch, just to put him over as shady).
* Rave defends the belt against guys like Homicide, Nigel McGuinness, Delirious (I'm a huge fan of the guy, but I don't think they'll put the belt on him, at least not yet), Colt Cabana, Matt Sydal and Austin Aries.
* Roderick Strong wins the belt from Jimmy Rave.
* Austin Aries is jealous that Strong could get it done, and he couldn't, so the two feud.
* Strong defends the Title against Austin Aries, Jimmy Rave, Matt Sydal, Samoa Joe, Delirious, etc.
* Brent Albright wins the Survival of the Fittest Tournament, and challenges Strong.
* Brent Albright wins the ROH World Title.
