Larry Sweeney Passes Away At Age 29
Pro wrestling manager Alex Whybrow, who performed as Larry Sweeney for Ring of Honor and numerous American independent promotions, has died at the age of 29.
F4WOnline.com reports that he committed suicide either late last night or this morning. It is believed that he hung himself.
Whybrow suffered from bipolar disorder and had a breakdown in 2009, which he described as "the absolute worst event" of his life. He went through a long recovery process the following year.
He made sporadic appearances on the independent scene after parting ways with ROH in 2009.
Independent wrestler Chris Hero, a friend of Whybrow, commented on his passing on Twitter.
"We lost a dedicated friend and an overwhelmingly talented performer this morning," he wrote. "Alex Whybrow aka 'Sweet & Sour' Larry Sweeney has passed.
"We spent a few yrs together on the road & Alex was gifted beyond measure. He could enthrall you with colorful stories from his personal life or he could captivate thousands with his undeniable charisma. I loved him & my heart is with his family, friends & his countless fans. First he was my student & he transcended that almost immediately. I will forever cherish our in depth conversations & time spent together. Love you man. Miss you. Rest in Peace."

Four New ROH Signings
ROH officials are happy to announce that several talents have re-signed contracts and one man has signed on the dotted line for the first time!
Rhett Titus, coming off a bloody brawl at “Honor Takes Center Stage: Chapter 2” against The Briscoes, has officially re-signed with Ring of Honor. A graduate of the ROH Wrestling Academy, Titus has truly broken out in the last year as a singles competitor with impressive outings against Jay Briscoe & Homicide, among others, as well as in the tag team ranks alongside All Night Express partner, Kenny King. They nearly captured the ROH World Tag Titles when The ANX took The Kings of Wrestling to the limit at the “9th Anniversary Show” and have now become embroiled in a heated rivalry with Jay & Mark Briscoe that saw much blood spilt in Atlanta last weekend. ROH is happy to have this talented young athlete officially on board, and we can also announce that both he and Kenny King will be in action when ROH returns to Dearborn & Toronto in May!
Bobby Cruise, the Voice of ROH, and Senior Official Todd Sinclair have also re-signed with Ring of Honor for the foreseeable future. For years the distinctive voice of Bobby Cruise has welcomed fans to ROH live events and introduced many a talent to the live audience. Todd Sinclair has officiated for ROH for many years as well, establishing himself as one of the best in the process, and earning the position of Senior Official. ROH would not be the same without either of these men and we are ecstatic that they will remain with Ring of Honor.
And for the first time, the powerhouse of The House Of Truth, Michael Elgin has signed a contract with Ring of Honor. Making his debut with the HoT back in November of last year, Elgin has truly established himself as a force with impressive showings against Christopher Daniels, Eddie Edwards, and El Generico just to name a few. Elgin’s combination of power & speed is sure to make him a force in the years to come here in Ring of Honor and we are excited to see what the future has in store for Michael Elgin. We can also announce that Elgin with join previously announced HoT members Christopher Daniels & Truth Martini in Dearborn & Toronto on May 6th & 7th.

Would recommend those that want to catch both shows on a replay to pay the $20, the 2 nights were really that good.

The tag-team match really blew me away tonight, and showed just how good a tag-team division there really is in Ring of Honor Wrestling and why World Wrestling Entertainment are missing quality tag-team wrestling that it once had pride in promoting.
