From ROHWrestling.com:

Lance Storm will make his long awaited return to Ring Of Honor on July 25th in Toronto, Ontario at the Ted Reeve Arena and July 26th in Detroit, MI at the Michigan State Fairgrounds. Tickets to both events are on sale now at www.ROHwrestling.com or by calling 215-781-2500.

A former champion in WWE, ECW and WCW, Storm brings credibility to ROH. He will be at both events as a special guest. ROHwrestling.com will have more information on Storm's appearances in the upcoming weeks. Storm will be available for autographs on both nights.

Storm previously appeared for ROH in 2005 at "Steel Cage Warfare" in Manhattan. Storm wrestled a memorable match against then ROH World Champion Bryan Danielson at "Better Than Our Best" in 2006. Storm was also the subject of an edition of the Straight Shootin' Series. All these titles are available at ROHwrestling.com.

Lance Storm is sure to make the 7/25 debut in Toronto even more special and the 7/26 Detroit show bigger. Stay tuned for more about Storm in the upcoming weeks.

WOOOOO!! This is awesome! I can't wait. Storm was definitely worth watching in ECW and one of the few highlights in a dying WCW. To bad the WWE had no idea how to market him.

June 11th: There was a shocking turn of events last Saturday in Philadelphia. Davey Richards violently left the No Remorse Corps by attacking Roderick Strong. Richards has joined Sweet & Sour Inc. and hired Larry Sweeney as his agent. This will be covered in the next ROH Video Wire. Strong now finds himself at war against Sweet & Sour Inc.

Word on the cyber-streets has it that they tried to get Ric Flair & Kenta Kobashi for the August 2nd show but I heard both failed.

ROH Business Notes
Wednesday, June 11, 2008




Here is the latest edition of ROH Business Notes at ROHwrestling.com:

-Production will begin immediately on ROH's next pay-per-view. "Respect Is Earned II" will premiere on iN DEMAND, The DISH Network and TVN cable systems on August 1st featuring a triple main event. The top three matches are: Jimmy Jacobs & Tyler Black defend the ROH World Tag Team Titles vs. Bryan Danielson & Austin Aries; Nigel McGuinness defends the ROH World Title vs. Go Shiozaki; Roderick Strong vs. Erick Stevens in a Fight Without Honor. Look for something soon regarding ROH back on PPV in Canada.

-Bryan Danielson worked a dark match for WWE last Monday with the permission of Ring Of Honor.

-ROH was close to having Ric Flair as a special guest on the 8/2 Manhattan event. However, the deal is now not possible. If ROH had secured Flair attempts would have been made to get Kenta Kobashi to the event so that Kobashi and Flair would have the opportunity to shake hands in front of the crowd. There are no talks of Kobashi returning to ROH.

-As of this moment, Jerry Lynn is only scheduled for the 6/28 Chicago date. It is possible Lynn will be added to more shows.

-Lance Storm will not be wrestling at the 7/25 and 7/26 events, but he will have a role on each show and be available for autographs. Storm will also be active in the locker room giving advice to the upcoming ROH stars. Storm has already taken his own time and unselfishly given advice to several members of the ROH roster after watching the PPVs.


Damn ROH nearly had Ric Flair going their...

Pretty good that they have got Jerry Lynn in to fight a couple of matches, he could put on a good show...

Also, it kinda sucks that Lance Storm won't be wrestling but atleast he's appearing so thats still good :)

thoughts?

Ring Of Honor will return to Japan this year for two events in Tokyo at Differ Ariake on September 13th and 14th. The first card will feature Dragon Gate wrestlers. The second show will have cooperation from Pro Wrestling NOAH. There will also be some other independent Japanese wrestlers on the event.

These will be authentic ROH events. Signed to be there on 9/13 & 14 are:
-ROH World Champion Nigel McGuinness
-ROH World Tag Team Champions Jimmy Jacobs & Tyler Black
-FIP World Heavyweight Champion Roderick Strong
-Bryan Danielson
-Jay & Mark Briscoe
-Austin Aries
-Davey Richards & Eddie Edwards from Sweet & Sour Inc.

Last year's "Live In Tokyo" and "Live In Osaka" events were a success with the live crowd in Japan and DVD buying audience. ROH officials want to thank all the fans for making another tour possible. We will have more news on the Japanese participants in the upcoming months. ROH is set to return to Japan with title bouts, grudge contests and dream matches. This tour will be bigger than ever!!!


Possibly my favorite thing in the history of ROH DVD is, I believe on the Driven DVD, it's clips from both shows in Japan and at the very end of the clip a bunch of Japanese fans have gathered by ROH's bus and they are chanting ROH ROH ROH and everyone stops but like one guy and he is saying LOH LOH LOH. Cracks me up every time.

Hooray for more DVDs for me to purchase, thanks ROH for keeping me in mind in your booking decisions. :D

Its kinda funny, i thought ROH would head to Toyko around the 2nd week of Sept. (Their was a gap) Plus its been a little over a year.

These should be good shows, i thought last year they didnt live up to the hype. Good shows, just not great with the amount of talent.

Kenny Omega getting a shot in ROH is good for him. He's one of the best indy guys to not get a shot in ROH yet, he could improve wrestling with ROH guys. If you haven't seen his stuff, there's a nice highlight video on youtube, even though it's a little old.

I think Gabe correcting JR is pretty funny.

There's A Lot Going On
Friday, June 20, 2008


It has been a very busy few weeks for Ring Of Honor and it will set up an even busier summer. Here is a recap of everything that's going on including some new newsbits.

-Ring Of Honor is entering two new major markets. The 7/25 Toronto debut event is already a huge success as almost 10 rows of ringside seats have been sold. November 7th will see ROH debut in Montreal. Tickets go on sale this Tuesday at 11am at ROHwrestling.com. ROH will have an important second show in Manassas, VA on 8/1. A good showing here will secure future events. ROH will debut in Coral Springs, FL on 10/10 and return to Orlando 10/11. This is only ROH's second trip to Florida. Strong fan support will lead to another tour of Florida.

-ROH will return to Japan for two more shows on 9/13 & 14 in Tokyo. Both shows will be at Differ Ariake. The tour will feature the Japanese debuts of ROH World Tag Team Champions Jimmy Jacobs & Tyler Black. ROH's Vice President was in Japan last week to hold a formal press conference to announce the tour.

-ROH's top officials and AAA's top officials recently met face-to-face in Manhattan, NY to discuss talent exchanges and other ventures. Nothing has been confirmed yet, but talks have been very positive. It looks like partnership is developing between ROH, AAA and Pro Wrestling NOAH. ROH also has Dragon Gate, FIP and SHIMMER as partners. Larry Sweeney has forced ROH into a partnership with the NWA since the NWA World Heavyweight Title is now in ROH. This means that ROH has working relationships with NOAH, Dragon Gate, FIP, SHIMMER, NWA and a growing one with AAA.

-ROH's summer will feature a number of special guests to help keep things fresh including Jerry Lynn on 6/28 in Chicago and Lance Storm on 7/25 in Toronto and 7/26 in Detroit. Alex Shelley & Chris Sabin will compete on 8/1 in Manasses and 8/2 in Manhattan. Naomichi Marufuji will join ROH for a one week tour that will include 7/25, 7/26, 8/1 & 8/2.

-ROH's next national DVDs will be released in FYE and retail stores everywhere on July 8th. Call your local chain and tell them you want Ring Of Honor "Best In The World" and "Greatest Rivalries" from KOCH Vision.

-Look for ROH to increase its internet presence soon. Details are on their way.

-ROH's next pay-per-view is "Respect Is Earned II" and it will premiere on August 1st on iN DEMAND, The DISH Network and TVN cable systems. Bryan Danielson and Austin Aries are featured in the advertising.

-Independent standout Kenny Omega from Canada will debut on 7/25 in Toronto and 7/26 in Detroit.

-ROH will have its last events for one month on June 27th in Dayton and June 28th in Chicago. Tickets are now available for under $10 as part of The Big 10 Sale at ROHwrestling.com.

ROH has been promoting Shiozaki vs Marufuji as a first time match-up in any promotion... Too bad it already took place in NOAH in 2004 >_>

Edit:It actually happened twice in 2004.
