Also a limited edition "Final Countdown Tour" T-Shirt will be available to purchase at all six events during September. Stop by the Ring of Honor merchandise table starting tonight in Philadelphia and own a piece of history.
September 10th: A pair of matches have been signed to round out ROH’s return to Dayton on September 18th. First, the Necro Butcher has signed to face Silas Young in singles competition. Additionally, the “crown jewel” of the Embassy, Jimmy Rave, will take on “Skullkrusher” Rasche Brown. Don’t forget that Rave and Necro will meet in a Dog Collar Match the next night in Chicago! And don’t forget your main event as Chris Hero takes on Bryan Danielson in his last Dayton appearance. You don’t want to miss it!
September 10th: Just signed for ROH’s big return to St. Louis and Indianapolis on October 9th and 10th is Kenny Omega, Roderick Strong, Colt “Boom Boom” Cabana, “Skullkrusher” Rasche Brown, Silas Young, and Claudio Castagnoli. Tickets for these two big events are on sale now at www.rohwrestling.com.
September 10th: Signed for New York on September 26th is tag team action as Jon Davis and Kory Chavis – The Dark City Fight Club – will face Cheech and Cloudy. The DCFC interfered in the last HDNet match that Cheech and Cloudy had, and this is their chance at retribution. Can the undersized duo get their revenge, or will they see their chance to climb the ROH Tag Team ladder go ‘up in smoke’?
September 10th: In case you missed the main page article yesterday by Holden McNeil (http://www.rohwrestling.com/news/article.aspx?id=2971), due to the historic farewell encounter signed between Bryan Danielson and Nigel McGuinness for “Glory By Honor VIII”, Austin Aries is currently without an opponent for September 26th in New York. “So what,” quipped Aries. “Ring of Honor hasn’t shown to have anyone worthy of facing me anyway. Kenny Omega? Come on. Roderick Strong? Please. Tyler Black? Don’t get me started. Next thing I know people will be saying Cabana is worthy. As far as I’m concerned, I should just take the night off. But I won’t. I’m “A Double”, the MV3, the only two-time ROH World Champion. And I’m gonna give New York what it really needs. And what it really needs is the ‘A Double L Double’. That’s right; Austin Aries’ Lucky Lottery is coming to NYC. And everyone knows that my hat is full of top notch, world class challengers.”

September 10th: October 9th will see the return of SHIMMER action to Ring of Honor when Canadian standout Nicole Matthews makes her ROH debut and challenges MsChif in suburban St. Louis! We’ll have more match announcements next week in the ‘wire!
September 8th: As announced earlier today at ROHWrestling.com, there has been a big change to the scheduled line-up for "Glory By Honor VIII" event in NYC on September 26th. In lieu of both Bryan Danielson & Nigel McGuinness departing ROH after that event, it will now be, one last time, Danielson vs. McGuinness! Click here to read the entire press release: http://www.rohwrestling.com/news/article.aspx?id=2971.
September 8th: The Glory By Honor VIII event in New York City officially sold out earlier today. We would like to thank all of the fans who purchased tickets for this big event. Tickets still remain at www.rohwrestling.com for the other live events as part of The Final Countdown Tour in Philadelphia on September 10th & 11th, Dayton on September 18th, Chicago on September 19th, and Boston on September 25th.
September 8th: Also announced this morning (http://www.rohwrestling.com/news/article.aspx?id=2970), ROH and Pro Wrestling NOAH have come to terms on the participation of GHC Jr. Heavyweight Champion KENTA for our live events on Nov. 13th in our new Detroit area home, and Nov. 14th when ROH debuts in Mississauga, ON. Tickets for both events are now on sale.
September 8th: Tyler Black underwent minor surgery a few weeks ago to relieve pressure in his neck. Unfortunately, the recovery from this procedure has not gone as hoped, and Black will be forced out of action for the ROH on HDNet National Television tapings this weekend. Black will still be on hand for both events. The cards will be adjusted and we apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. Black is now listed as questionable for the events in Dayton and Chicago on September 18th and 19th. Should he become unavailable for the events, changes to the cards will be made. We will update this situation as we go forward.
September 8th: With Tyler Black unable to compete this weekend during the "ROH on HDNet" TV Tapings, ROH officials have named Colt Cabana as his replacement for Thursday night's bout with Nigel McGuinness. ROH officials are still working out exactly what replace Black's scheduled Friday night match with Kenny King.
September 8th: The card for September 25th in Boston has also changed. Roderick Strong stepped aside to allow Nigel McGuinness to face Bryan Danielson one last time in New York. But there was a condition: That Roddy get his match with Nigel in Boston the night before! Nigel may have thought he was getting a pass from Roddy, but after what Nigel did to Strong at the August ROH on HDNet tapings, Roddy wasn’t about to let that happen. “Nigel has one coming for causing me to lose to Joey Ryan,” said Strong. “And even if he’s got one foot out the door I’m pulling him back in to give it to him.”
September 8th: With that change in the Boston Card comes an opportunity for two men to get their hands on ROH World Champion Austin Aries. Kenny Omega has been going back and forth with Aries verbally and physically for some time now, and he scored a win over ‘A Double’ in July. Now he’ll team with Colt Cabana to face Aries and Rhett Titus in Beantown! Cabana has been the target of verbal jabbing by Aries for agreeing to team with Petey Williams in Dayton, and how he’s eagerly signed on to give Aries something else to complain about. “I know Aries’ type,” said Cabana. “I’ve seen it all my career, and honestly, it’s fun to mess with people like him.”
September 8th: And speaking of Cabana, he’s signed for “Glory By Honor VIII” to oppose “Addicted to Love” Rhett Titus one-on-one! This is a match that was originally signed for the 9/10 ROH on HDNet tapings at Titus’ request – a request based on the assignment handed down by Austin Aries. A victory for Titus would be the biggest of his young career, on ROH’s biggest stage, and his mentor – Aries – has said that nothing less than a win will do. Can “Boom Boom” stick it to ‘A Double’ by thwarting his protégé?
September 8th: The Four Corner Survival returns Chicago Ridge on September 19th! The impressive “Skullkrusher” Rasche Brown will oppose Silas Young, Sal Rinauro, and Chicago favorite, “Sugarfoot” Alex Payne! Don’t forget that this event marks the final Chicago ROH appearance of Bryan Danielson, and Bret “Hitman” Hart will be in attendance!
September 8th: The Buy 2, Get 1 Free Ring of Honor DVD Sale has been extended for an additional 24 hours until Wednesday at noon EST. The latest DVD release from ROH is "End of an Age" from Chicago Ridge, IL on June 27th. The event features Austin Aries vs. Nigel McGuinness for the ROH World Title; KENTA vs. Tyler Black in a first time ever dream match; Claudio Castagnoli & Joey Ryan vs. Colt Cabana & Brent Albright in a Chicago Street Fight; The American Wolves vs. Kevin Steen & El Generico; plus more. For complete details on the sale please click here: http://www.rohwrestling.com/news/article.aspx?id=2643. This sale will also be in effect at the live events this week in Philadelphia.
