I love that Williams is in the tournament and it&#8217;s a rare chance to see him wrestle given that he noted on social media that he is honoring his retirement in the UK by no longer taking bookings there. I don&#8217;t believe that ROH has officially announced that the old pure rules will be in play, though they are referenced in their announcement of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rohwrestling.com\/news\/roh-pure-title-tournament-participant-alex-shelley\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Shelley&#8217;s entry<\/a>. 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.<\/p>\n<div id=\"prowr-1946968693\" 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":[139,2285,1135,128,63,3340],"class_list":["post-69610","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-newsticker","category-newsupdates","category-roh_news","tag-alex-shelley","tag-doug-williams","tag-jonathan-gresham","tag-pro-wrestling","tag-roh","tag-roh-pure-wrestling-championship"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.5 -
