Monday, August 17, 2009
August 19th: The latest Ring of Honor Videowire has been uploaded and is available for viewing at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GTPkDMOZEik. See comments from Kenny King, Sonjay Dutt, and the Young Bucks say they’re ready for the Briscoes in Dayton. Eddie Kingston hungers for Chris Hero in Manhattan, plus another episode of “The Art of Pro Wrestling” with Colt Cabana. In addition, there are words from the American Wolves, plus Jimmy Rave as well as a heated Steen and Generico prepare for Ladder War II.
August 19th: Speaking of Jimmy Rave, you can see him team with Claudio Castagnoli and Ernie Osiris as they take on Colt Cabana, Grizzly Redwood, and the Necro Butcher from “Contention” – now available on DVD. This match took place the night before Rave injured the leg of Necro and started Necro on his path to the Dog Collar Match against the ‘crown jewel’, scheduled for September 19th in Chicago! Check out the action at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=InYhzgpVn9I, and take a peak at Holden McNeil’s take on the Dog Collar at http://www.rohwrestling.com/news/article.aspx?id=2947!

August 19th: ATTENTION LOS ANGELES! News broke this morning, and ROH is proud to announce that we are coming to Southern California! Ring of Honor will make it’s LA debut as part of the WrestleReunion convention on Friday, January 29th at the International Ballroom at the LAX Hilton. For info on the convention, please check out www.wrestlereunion.com! More on this as it develops!
August 19th: Signed for September 18th in Dayton is a tag team match that personifies the word ‘intensity’. Brent Albright and Erick Stevens have many in the ROH locker room talking about their potential, and in Dayton, they face the best ROH has to offer in Davey Richards and Eddie Edwards – the American Wolves! If any two men in Ring of Honor can match the physicality that the World Tag Team Champions bring, it may just be Stevens and Albright. The tag team championship will not be on the line, but a win over the Wolves would most certainly signify the coming out party for ROH’s newest team!
August 19th: ROH is happy to support Colt “Boom Boom” Cabana as he makes his stand-up comedy debut this Saturday at the world famous Improv in Hollywood! Cabana will take the stage as part of “Total Extreme Comedy” starring Cabana and Mick Foley, with Bret Ernst and others! Check out www.improv.com and follow the links to the Hollywood, CA location for more information!
August 19th: Kenny Omega looks to be in line for a shot at Austin Aries down the line, and in order to beat A Double, he knows he will have to be running at a level that most never reach. With that in mind, on September 25th in Boston, Omega has signed to face former ROH World Champion, Nigel McGuinness! Omega commented, “Nigel epitomizes greatness, and if I can beat him, maybe the greatest ROH champion ever, then I know I’m ready for Aries.” McGuinness had comments which are forthcoming in a future ROH Videowire.
August 19th: Speaking of McGuinness, those in attendance in Philadelphia saw Nigel verbally accost the fans, and in particular, Roderick Strong. Nigel took to lambasting Roddy, berating him for essentially giving the fans everything they want and more. Nigel’s verbal assault on Roddy led to him losing to Joey Ryan that night, and now Strong wants Nigel to pay. “Nigel had no reason to get in my business,” said Strong. “The way I see it, he caused me to lose that match. And who cares what Nigel thinks? He’s broken down and bitter and blames the fans for it, and now he’s decided to make me part of it. Well, in New York on September 25th, I’ll shut him up. Because Nigel, only the strong survive.” It’s McGuinness versus Strong in NYC!

August 17th: Jerry Lynn suffered a severe stinger on Saturday night after his scheduled match with Kenny King. Rhett Titus and King executed a spike piledriver on Lynn, who lost feeling in his right arm and leg on impact. Feeling eventually return to his limbs, and Lynn was taken to a Philadelphia hospital for follow up. X-rays were negative, but Lynn is still suffering from tingling in his hand and lower leg and will be seeking further medical evaluation this week. We will provide an update on Lynn’s condition as it becomes available, and everyone at Ring of Honor wishes Jerry a speedy recovery.
August 17th: ROH congratulates D-Lo Brown and family on the birth of his daughter over the weekend.
August 17th: It is official! Based on the actions of Davey Richards and Eddie Edwards last Friday night in Philly, Kevin Steen and El Generico have called their shot. In the August 16th main page article (http://www.rohwrestling.com/news/article.aspx?id=2945), Holden McNeil takes a look at how LADDER WAR II came to be scheduled for September 26th in New York! Will this war end when the American Wolves put the World Tag Team Titles on the line against Steen and Generico in ROH’s most dangerous match?
August 17th: Chris Hero thought he had KENTA right where he wanted him on Saturday night. His cohorts on the outside had distracted the referee, and all it would take was to slip on the mysterious green elbow guard and finish KENTA off. Hero didn’t count on Eddie Kingston taking exception to that plan. Kingston took the pad off of Hero and KENTA recovered to nail “That Young Knockout Kid” with his patented Go 2 Sleep for the win. Now, after brawls and words, and lots of posturing, it all comes to a head. On September 26th in New York, it will be Chris Hero facing Eddie Kingston one-on-one! Get your tickets now at www.rohwrestling.com! We’ll have words from Kingston in the upcoming Videowire!
August 17th: Sonjay Dutt is now showing his true colors, and they were never more apparent than on Saturday, when he stole a victory from Delirious. Upon losing, Delirious immediately asked for a rematch, and that match has been signed for September 25th in Boston. Dutt, who showed no remorse for using Daizee Haze as a human shield in the match, accepted the match and we will have comments from the “Original Playa from the Himalayas” soon in an upcoming Videowire.
