KENTA is one of the best in the world, and fighting him can ONLY make me better.

October 15th: ROH officials have exchanged heated dialogue over the past few days with ROH World Champion Austin Aries. Aries predictably has once more demanded to bring the “A Double L Double” (Austin Aries Lucky Lottery) to ROH on HDNet; this time receiving resistance from both ROH and HDNet officials. It is the intention of all involved to have the ROH World Championship defended in Philadelphia against an ‘appropriate challenger’. Aries has insists that his defenses as a result of his drawing have been totally at random. ROH Executives, including President Cary Silkin and ROH on HDNet Executive Producer Jim Cornette, are working with HDNet and the ROH Booking Committee to resolve this issue. More on this to come.
October 15th: Just signed for November 7th in Edison is a huge tag team match as Kevin Steen and El Generico will look to avenge their Ladder War loss at ‘Glory By Honor VIII’ when they take on ROH World Tag Team Champion Davey Richards and his chosen partner, “That Young Knockout Kid” Chris Hero! Can Steen and Generico redeem themselves even if the titles are not on the line, or will Richards’ reign supreme once more?
October 15th: Kenny Omega had a great showing in St. Louis and Indianapolis, and even though he ended with a split, his victory over Davey Richards is one of the biggest in his career, and he’s looking to build off of that momentum in Edison on 11/7. Omega has signed to face Sonjay Dutt, who as of late has been tangled in what is quickly becoming a bitter rivalry with Delirious and Daizee Haze. Can Dutt take his mind off of the masked lizard man long enough to take Omega to task? Or will Omega outshine Sonjay and continue his climb? Be there in Edison to see it unfold!

October 13th: Tyler Black returned to active competition in a big way over last weekend, securing victory in St. Louis over Chris Hero in a hard fought contest. But in Indianapolis he took it to an entirely different level by winning Survival of the Fittest 2009. The main event final, lasting over 40 minutes, was a brilliant showcase for all 6 men involved, but the two men left at the end shined brightest. Roderick Strong and Black went back-and-forth, with Black finally falling Strong with a series of superkicks. The crowd was on its feet for the majority of the contest, with many pulling for Strong to win the bout. “I can’t lie,” said Black. “Roddy was unbelievable last weekend. It literally took everything I had to win, and the way Roddy kept fighting back was inspiring. I told him that night that I owed him a rematch, and I will keep my word.” Well it didn’t take long as ROH officials worked quickly. The rematch is signed for suburban Toronto! It’ll be Roderick Strong versus Tyler Black on November 14th!
October 13th: Kenny King was surprised at the aggression that Tyler Black came at him with last Saturday in Indianapolis. “I didn’t expect a big softy like Tyler to act so hard,” said King. “I know he’s still in mourning because I took out his uncle Jerry (Lynn), so I guess I should have expected it. But I really expected that he’d end up hurt and unable to compete because that seems to be his M.O. lately. But whatever, he got lucky and won that match, it’s cool. I bet you can’t catch me slippin’ again, Tyler. I challenge you to face me in Edison. C’mon Tyler, show me how tough you are.” ROH officials are awaiting Tyler’s response to King’s challenge.
October 13th: Kevin Steen sustained a knee injury in Indianapolis and is scheduled to see doctors this week. It is unknown at this point if Steen will miss any time, and we’ll have updates as they become available. Holden McNeil takes a look at Steen & El Generico in "Where Do We Go From Here?" at http://www.rohwrestling.com/news/article.aspx?id=3016.
October 13th: ROH World Tag Team Champion Eddie Edwards is a soldier. Two days after successful surgery to put a steel plate and screws into his broken arm, he was in physical therapy. In fact, doctors declined to put his arm into a hard cast, allowing Edwards to move the still-broken arm much sooner. The initial prognosis was recovery in 6-to-12 weeks, but as it looks now, Edwards should be ready for action much closer to the 6 week mark. ROH officials are closely monitoring this as it relates to the World Tag Team Title situation. Initial reports are that no changes will be made should Edwards remain on path to return sooner than later. More on this as it develops.
October 13th: Edwards’ partner in the American Wolves, Davey Richards, has been on fire in 2009, and that roll continued in suburban St. Louis where he and Kenny Omega had one for the ages. With the win, Omega was able to raise his stock. In Indianapolis, Richards fell victim to more games from Austin Aries, who essentially left Davey to the ‘wolves’ – and defeat – this time at the hands of the Briscoes. Richards was absolutely livid post-match, but Aries was nowhere to be found. Beyond both excellent matches for Richards over the weekend, one source indicated that Davey was ‘keenly aware’ of the top matches over the weekend; keeping tabs on the other top contenders to the ROH Title. We’ll have more on this as we go forward.
October 13th: Just signed for Edison, NJ on November 7th: Sonjay Dutt, Erick Stevens, Sara del Rey, Necro Butcher, and Delirious with Daizee Haze!
October 13th: Delirious had a great showing in Collinsville and Indianapolis as well, taking Austin Aries to the limit last Friday and doing well in SOTF.
