Shelley & Sabin are in for a tough weekend with two dream matches. Friday will see ROH's two aces team up as Bryan Danielson & Austin Aries take on Shelley & Sabin. Don't forget the history between Aries and Shelley dating back to Generation Next. Manhattan will witness a bout fans have waited a long time to see as Kevin Steen & El Generico wrestle Shelley & Sabin. Don't miss this rare opportunity to see these dream tag team bouts in both Virginia and Manhattan. Get your tickets at the door on both nights and see tag team wrestling at its best!!!

July 31st: Lance Storm has written a column about his weekend in ROH. He says "Thank You" to ROH, but we can't thank Lance enough for his contributions.

Check out Storm's thoughts on his ROH weekend here: http://www.stormwrestling.com/072808.html
July 31st: There is a lot of buzz about who will win the main event when ROH returns to the Hammerstein Ballroom this Saturday. It will be a Four Way Elimination Match with the ROH World Title on the line pitting ROH World Champion Nigel McGuinness vs. Bryan Danielson vs. Tyler Black vs. Claudio Castagnoli. It could become even more interesting if Ruckus pulls off the upset on Friday in Virginia and defeats McGuinness to make this bout a five way elimination. This type of match is very dangerous to everyone, especially the champion. Anything can happen and there are endless possibilities. Who will be World Champion at the end of the weekend? The Hammerstein Ballroom will be the place to be. Get your tickets at the door this Saturday and experience it for yourself.
July 31st: Pro wrestling as a sport returns to pay-per-view tomorrow night with the premiere of ROH "Respect Is Earned II" at the affordable price of $9.95 to $14.95. There is no better value for your dollar on PPV. Check out this lineup and what some critics said after seeing an advanced screener:
ROH World Tag Team Title Match
Jimmy Jacobs & Tyler Black defend vs. Bryan Danielson & Austin Aries
ROH World Title Match

Erick Stevens vs. Roderick Strong
Six Man Tag Team Match

"All in all, yet another strong showing from what's turning into the best kept secret on PPV, Ring of Honor. The ROH Tag Team bout between champs Age of the Fall and challengers Bryan Danielson & Austin Aries is worth the $10 price tag alone. The Fight Without Honor between Strong and Stevens is a fitting end to their feud with the blow-off grudge match we rarely see in the realm of sports entertainment. From top to bottom, if you want athletics in your wrestling, you want ROH, who start their second year of PPVs the same as their first - with a wrestling PPV focused on great wrestling." - Mike Johnson at PWinsider.com
"I highly recommend this PPV when it premiers this Friday on PPV. You won’t get more value for your dollar than you do with ROH PPVs. Stevens and Black are really stepping up and becoming must-see performers in the company. Their performances on this show are the highlights of the PPV. The production on this show was fantastic by ROH standards as well." - Sean Radican at PWTorch.com
