The champion will be determined in a tournament that will begin April 10 in Columbus, Ohio and April 11 in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Read the official announcement via <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rohwrestling.com\/news\/tournament-crown-new-pure-champion-kicks-columbus-pittsburgh\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">ROHWrestling.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Powell&#8217;s POV:<\/strong><\/span> ROH has not announced whether the old pure rules will be in play. The previous Pure Championship rules allowed for a title changes via disqualification or count-out in addition to the usual pinfall or submission. Each wrestler was allowed three rope breaks during a match. Once a wrestler used three rope breaks, pins and submissions in the ropes were counted. There were also no closed fists allowed, and there were punishments for using closed fists. Bryan Danielson was the last man to hold the championship before it was unified with the ROH World Championship in 2006.<\/p>\n<div id=\"prowr-3589389366\" class=\"prowr-after-content prowr-entity-placement\"><a class=\"spreaker-player\" href=\"https:\/\/www.spreaker.com\/show\/pwboom\" data-resource=\"show_id=3275525\" data-theme=\"light\" data-playlist=\"show\" data-width=\"100%\" data-height=\"340px\">Listen to \"Pro Wrestling Boom Podcast\" on Spreaker.<\/a><script async src=\"https:\/\/widget.spreaker.com\/widgets.js\"><\/script><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Jason Powell, ProWrestling.net Editor&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":198,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"episode_type":"","audio_file":"","podmotor_file_id":"","podmotor_episode_id":"","cover_image":"","cover_image_id":"","duration":"","filesize":"","filesize_raw":"","date_recorded":"","explicit":"","block":"","itunes_episode_number":"","itunes_title":"","itunes_season_number":"","itunes_episode_type":"","_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[2,3,6],"tags":[128,63,3292],"class_list":["post-68454","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-newsticker","category-newsupdates","category-roh_news","tag-pro-wrestling","tag-roh","tag-roh-pure-wrestling"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 -
