September 24th: The Buy 3, Get 2 Free Sale is back at ROHWrestling.com. The sale will also be in effect at both live events this weekend in Boston & New York City. For instructions on how the sale works, please click here: http://www.rohwrestling.com/news/article.aspx?id=2919. September 24th: ROH World Champion Austin Aries has never been more excited about the “A Double L Double” as he apparently is now. “The time is drawing near,” said Aries. “The ‘A Double L Double’ has been a huge success and has lead to more than one MOTYC and now it’s finally coming to New York. This time I’ve scoured the land, and picked out not 20 - but 30 - of wrestling’s greatest challengers, and they’re all in my hat. That includes everyone on the Glory By Honor VIII card and then some. On Saturday night, dreams could come true. But sometimes, and you can ask Tyler Black, dreams go up in flames.” ROH officials have gone through the GBHVIII roster and its official; should Aries select someone already scheduled for a match on Saturday, that person will pull double duty and also challenge for the ROH World Title.
September 24th: Don’t forget to check out the latest ROH Videowire for all of the buzz going into the biggest ROH weekend of the year so far. Be sure to point your browser to http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XOlXw7I5mFk and check out comments from Nigel McGuinness, the American Wolves, Rhett Titus, “That Young Knockout Kid” Chris Hero, as well as an exclusive video look at how we got to Ladder War II!
September 24th: Tyler Black is making good progress in the recovery from both his recent neck surgery and the third degree burns suffered at the hands of Austin Aries. He’s in line to be in Collinsville and Indianapolis as scheduled.
September 24th: Did you miss ROH on HDNet on Monday? Not to worry! Go to http://www.youtube.com/user/rohbrazil and check out the incredible 6-Man main event that saw the American Wolves and Chris Hero face off with Roderick Strong, Bryan Danielson, and KENTA! We challenge you to find us a better match from last Monday night! ROHBrazil uploads the show every Thursday, so if you don’t get HDNet, call your cable provider and then log on to see what you missed!
September 24th: Bret Hart was a guest on the 9/21 edition of Monday Night Mayhem and discussed a variety of topics, including Ring of Honor. Take a listen for yourself by clicking on http://www.mondaynightmayhemarchives.com/waxfiles/092109.wax . All of us at Ring of Honor thank Bret for his kind words!
September 24th: Singles action has been signed for October 9th in suburban St. Louis. Roderick Strong can claim as stellar a 2009 as anyone on the ROH roster. Now he’ll oppose a man who after Saturday night could once again be one-half of the ROH World Tag team Champions – Kevin Steen! With El Generico scheduled for a tour of Japan, Steen saw a great opportunity to challenge himself. “I have all the respect in the world for Roddy and the year he’s had. Once we finish off the Wolves and wear gold again, it’s time for new challenges, and Roddy is a big one without a doubt.”
September 24th: Signed for Indianapolis on October 10th is another interesting singles contest. Claudio Castagnoli has been struggling to get back on track after losing in the cage on HDNet to Brent Albright. Petey Williams, on the other hand, has been chomping at the bit to get his hands on Austin Aries. Now both men, with different agendas, will collide in Indy! Can Claudio right the ship, or will Petey continue his ROH climb? Be there to find out!
September 24th: We’ll be back next week with all of the fallout from Boston and New York, as well as more matches for St. Louis and Indianapolis!
September 22nd: We’re less than a week away from ROH’s return to Boston on Friday night, and from the SOLD OUT Glory By Honor VIII on Saturday night in New York City! We can guarantee you won’t be disappointed! To everyone that came to Dayton and Chicago; give yourself a huge round of applause! Both crowds were incredible, and we can’t say ‘thank you’ enough. Ring of Honor returns to Dayton on April 23, 2010, and we’ll roll back through the Windy City on December 5, 2009. Tickets for both events are available at www.rohwrestling.com!
September 22nd: The American Wolves escaped Chicago with their titles, but to those in attendance it was highway robbery. Davey Richards could feel them slipping away, and in a huge act of cowardice, dropkicked referee Paul Turner earning an immediate disqualification. ROH officials were disgusted by the way it ended up, and the Briscoes took the law into their own hands, attacking the Wolves after the match. Needless to say, this one is far from over and the only question remaining is whether the Wolves will still have the ROH World Tag Team Titles after Ladder War II this Saturday night. Check out http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C1pWZSC284A for their thoughts going into this war with Steen and Generico!
September 22nd: Don’t forget that Bret “Hitman” Hart, Nigel McGuinness, and Bryan Danielson will all be signing autographs this weekend in Beantown and the Big Apple! Tickets for the Bret Hart signing will be available at the door for both events, and remember, the commemorative 8x10 photos for Danielson and McGuinness as well as the “Final Countdown Tour” T-Shirt will be available at the merchandise stand.
September 22nd: ROH World Champion Austin Aries added insult to injury on Saturday night when he sucker punched Bryan Danielson after their epic championship battle in Chicago. “Hey, there’s a reason it’s called a sucker punch,” said Aries. “He’s a sucker, so he got punched. End of story. I’m still the champ, still the best, still the greatest man that ever lived – A Double. Your ROH World Champion.” Aries has two tough tests this weekend as in Boston, he’ll team with his young protégé, Rhett Titus, to face two men vying for a shot at ROH gold, Colt “Boom Boom” Cabana and Kenny Omega. Omega, fresh off a lengthy tour of Japan, is ready. “I haven’t forgotten Toronto, and come Boston it’s going to be great to get my hands on Aries again.”
September 22nd: Speaking of Rhett Titus, he suffered a horrifying laceration on Friday night in Dayton requiring 19 stitches over and into his right eye socket to close the wound. An elbow strike from Cabana opened the cut, and according to Titus it’s added more fuel to the fire. “Brother, when ‘A Double’ gave me the task of teaching Cabana a lesson in New York, I jumped at the chance. But now, that goof has tarnished my pretty face. I’m going to be scarred for life, and brother, he’s gonna pay. I’m gonna bust his crust with my thrust, brother!”
September 22nd: Signed for October 10th for ROH’s return to Indianapolis is singles action. “That Young Knockout Kid” Chris Hero has had a 2009 to remember, and it only got better when he defeated Bryan Danielson last Friday in Dayton. Now he’ll face a man that was right in the thick of things before his Japan tour – Kenny Omega! Will Hero score another KO, or will Omega pick up right where he left off? Be therein Indy and find out! Tickets are available now at ROHWrestling.com!
September 22nd: Speaking of Hero, this Saturday night at Glory By Honor VIII he will go one-on-one with Eddie Kingston. This match is several weeks in the making in ROH, but has been brewing continuously for some time, and both men had a lot to say about it. You can check out exclusive comments from both Chris Hero and Eddie Kingston at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ik9xSRfCCJg . This one could well steal the show!
September 22nd: More of the best tag team wrestling in the world is signed for October 9th in suburban St. Louis. The House of Truth may have fallen in both of their matches last weekend, but they once again did not fail to impress. In fact, one tag team was very impressed and has signed to face the HoT to see if they’re for real. “We like their style, but we gotta see first hand if they belong in ROH. They got some speed, they got some power, they got a leader, but do they really got what it takes? On the 9th in St. Louie, we’ll find out. We’ll see if they are mice, or if they can man up.” It’s the Briscoe Brothers versus the House of Truth in Collinsville!
September 22nd: Did you miss last night’s episode of ROH on HDNet? If you did, you missed one of the best 6-Man tags of the year! But don’t worry, keep your eyes on www.youtube.com/rohbrazil for the upload and see the match for yourself. If you don’t get HDNet, call your cable provider and tell them you want to watch the only hour of PROFESSIONAL WRESTLING on Monday nights!
