November 4th: Colt “Boom Boom” Cabana isn't surprised that Austin Aries has elected not to put the title up for grabs this Saturday in Edison, New Jersey. “Like that’s a shock to anyone,” said Cabana. “Aries has proven what everyone already thinks – he’s a paper champion.”
November 4th: Speaking of Cabana, he’s just signed for tag team action on November 13th in Novi, MI. Cabana will team with the recently returned Delirious to take on Aries’ stalwart foot soldiers, Kenny King and “Addicted to Love” Rhett Titus.

November 2nd: With the beginning of November comes big news! Just finalized this morning (http://www.rohwrestling.com/news/article.aspx?id=3061), ROH officials are happy to announce that Katsuhiko Nakajima is returning to ROH competition! With the unfortunate injury to KENTA, ROH officials scrambled to try and find a suitable replacement on incredibly short notice.

Tickets for both events are still available at www.rohwrestling.com! Nakajima's opponents will be announced on Wednesday.
November 2nd: Everyone at Ring of Honor wishes KENTA well in his recovery.

We hope to see you all in Philadelphia on Thursday and Friday night, and Edison, NJ on Saturday. Tickets and information for all three great events are available now at www.rohwrestling.com!
November 2nd: Also in light of KENTA’s injury, ROH officials were forced to make changes to the upcoming TV tapings and this Saturday’s card in Edison, New Jersey. On Saturday in Edison, Roderick Strong will now take on a man that has been on a roll in the last few months, Delirious! Delirious is back after a great showing in Japan for Pro Wrestling NOAH, and he is eager to show the ROH faithful that he’s ready to take that next step. A win over perhaps the MVP of 2009 would go a long way toward proving that!

November 2nd: Colt “Boom Boom” Cabana has agreed to be Tyler Black’s partner this Friday in Philadelphia against Austin Aries and Kenny King. Cabana has had his share of interaction with Aries’ cohorts, and he wasn’t about to let Tyler go it alone as he looks for retribution for the hideous fireball that Aries’ threw in his face when ROH was last in Philly. “Aries’ is in trouble,” said Cabana. “He’s prepared for KENTA, but all that’s out the window. I’ve got my own issues with him and his cronies, and I’m looking forward to Philly.”
November 2nd: ROH World Champion Austin Aries has informed the ROH Booking Committee that since they have already have him scheduled for more than one title defense in November, he will NOT defend the championship in Edison, NJ this weekend. He instead will team with protégé Rhett Titus in tag team action.
November 2nd: The Necro Butcher has accepted Prince Nana’s challenge for this Saturday in Edison. “I know Nana said he’s bringing a monster,” said Necro. “And if it’s Bison, I’ll be ready. I know that sumbitch is tough, but I’ll never back down. Whoever Nana brings better be ready to fight like a dog because I will, and I ain’t worried because I’ll have my back up just in case.”
