Newswire For The Week of August 2nd
Monday, August 03, 2009
August 7th: Get ready Chicago! Tempers, bad blood, and revenge are on the mind of Mark Briscoe as his day has come. Ever since Final Battle 2008 when the Davey Richards and Eddie Edwards laid waste to his knee, he has dreamed of redemption. Through surgery and a brutal rehab, Mark has battled every step of the way, and finally is at a level where he can make his move. Signed for September 19th in Chicago, it will be the American Wolves versus the Briscoe Brothers! Davey and Eddie couldn’t resist adding a heap of controversy onto the match, with Richards saying, “I’m glad the match is signed, boys, because the result will be the same. Last time it was Mark’s knee. Well maybe this time it’s Jay’s. Maybe it’s an elbow. Maybe a neck. It doesn’t matter. What does matter is that you haven’t proven yourselves to us or to anyone else since Piano Teeth came back. Therefore, the ROH World Tag Belts will NOT be on the line. Come and get it, boys. The hunt it STILL on.”
August 7th: Check out Saturday night's episode of Ring of Honor Wrestling on HDNet at 8 PM and 11 PM. Witness the latest chapter in the heated rivalry between The American Wolves vs. Steen & Generico when Davey Richards goes one-on-one with El Generico in the main event. Other matches include Colt Cabana & Brent Albright vs. Jimmy Rave & Claudio Castagnoli, Delirious vs. Silas Young, and Mark Briscoe vs. Alex Payne, plus appearances by Nigel McGuinness, Tyler Black & more. Don't forget Ring of Honor Wrestling on HDNet moves to Monday nights at 8 PM starting on August 17th.
August 7th: We’re happy to report that the surgery to remove the huge blood clot from Brent Albright’s leg was a 100% success. Doctors in Tulsa had to remove the clot in pieces from around his shinbone and did so with no complications. Albright’s leg will be immobilized for two days, but he insists that will WILL be in Philly next weekend, and he WILL put an end to the feud between he and Claudio Castagnoli. “Nothing could stop me from climbing in that cage with that European bastard,” said Brent. “I don’t care if the doctors say no, or if my leg is now a target. It won’t matter. Nothing could stop me from putting an end to this.”
August 7th: A few weeks back, we told you that up-and-coming hip hop artist, Kidd Russell, filmed a music video with Ring of Honor as the subject. His outstanding release, “Rush”, has been picked up by MTV and has been featured on “America’s Best Dance Crew”, and the brand new music video has been completed. Many stars from ROH are featured in the video, including Colt “Boom Boom” Cabana! Check out the teaser trailer at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TB8vTMYt-pU. The full video debuts on August 22nd, coinciding with the single becoming available on iTunes! Also, to hear Kidd Russell and Colt Cabana talk about why ROH was involved in this project, check out http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L49K7q1Cjlg.
August 7th: With the Tag Team scene in ROH hotter than ever before, we’re happy to announce that signed for Dayton on September 18th is a clash between two of the newest teams in ROH. Christin Able and Josh Raymond, with Truth martini – collectively known as the House of Truth – made a splash in their ROH debut against Steen and Generico. Now, they’ll do battle with a team that made their impact felt earlier in 2009 before injury stepped in. Jon Davis and Kory Chavis manhandled seemingly everyone that got in their way before Davis suffered a horrific wrist injury. Now, fully healed, the Dark City Fight Club is more determined than ever to plant their seed in ROH. It’ll be the House of Truth versus the Dark City Fight Club on 9/18 in Dayton! Which team will continue to rise?
August 7th: ROH staff writer Holden McNeil has an interesting look at ROH World Champion Austin Aries’ potential challengers at http://www.rohwrestling.com/news/article.aspx?id=2938. With Aries set to “give someone the chance of lifetime” by drawing his next challenger from a hat on HDNet, McNeil looks at the stars in ROH that could possibly take Aries to the limit. Whether or not they are actually in the hat remains to be seen.
August 7th: Signed for Chicago on September 19th is a clash of two men that have been entangled in one way or another for some time. Claudio Castagnoli has been battling Brent Albright for months on end, and with that feud coming to an end he made some remarks about an occurrence at the last ROH Chicago event. “Little known fact,” said Castagnoli. “The fan that got laid out during our street fight last time in Chicago was Colt Cabana’s father.” Mr. Cabana was treated at the scene by medical personnel and released in good condition with minor bruising. Castagnoli continued, “Now one can speculate, was it an accident? Maybe. Maybe it wasn’t.” Cabana upon hearing these remarks was quick to request a match with Claudio. “Look, everyone knows my Dad took a spill. It was accidental. Maybe Claudio’s just jealous because he isn’t in Kidd Russ’ video, but either way, once Brent finishes him, I’ll play around with the leftovers.”

August 5th: Fans all over the pro wrestling landscape have been chomping at the bit to see the Briscoes face the Young Bucks. Well, as announced earlier today at http://www.rohwrestling.com/news/article.aspx?id=2934, that match will now take place, and fans in Dayton, get ready!

August 5th: Brent Albright is scheduled to undergo surgery tomorrow to remove a blood clot in his calf. Albright was deemed to have suffered a moderate calf contusion after Night Two of Death Before Dishonor VII in Toronto, was given a prescription and was medically cleared to travel. Swelling and pain in the leg has increased exponentially since then and yesterday he was diagnosed as having a mass of coagulated blood “the size of a golf ball” in his leg. The mass can potentially break apart causing other blood clots, which if left untreated could be a much greater danger. Doctors surmise that the contusion suffered in Toronto was much worse than originally thought, with a fast and substantial amount of internal bleeding, which in turn caused the clot to form. Albright has pledged that he will not miss the ROH on HDNet Television Tapings on 8/14 and 8/15 and his chance to end his feud with Claudio Castagnoli. More on this as it develops.
August 5th: Jimmy Rave has been very vocal about his disgust for The Necro Butcher and has taken every chance to sneak in shots at the madman while running like hell when the tables are turned. Prince Nana has vowed that the crown jewel will vanquish Necro, and has signed for Rave to face Necro one-on-one in Philadelphia as part of the ROH on HDNet TV Tapings on August 14th! Can the Embassy put an end to Necro, or will Necro reign and watch the Embassy bodies pile to the sky? Get your tickets now at www.rohwrestling.com!
August 5th: We’re happy to announce that Erick Stevens has been added to the September 18th and 19th events in Dayton and Chicago.
August 5th: Signed for the ROH on HDNet TV Tapings on August 15th is a rematch that has been brewing for quite some time. As seen in the latest ROH on HDNet recap by ThatWrestlingShow (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l9lIku5bFCs), Roderick Strong rolled D-Lo Brown up out of nowhere and claimed victory after D-Lo had some choice words for Roddy. D-Lo was able to gain a measure of revenge by defeating Strong when ROH last came through Chicago. Now Strong and D-Lo will tangle again. Who will gain the advantage in this budding rivalry?
