The other article will examine what CM Punk, Samoa Joe and Takeshi Morishima have in common.

We know what this is. Former ROH champs, now the top dogs in their respective companies. And its cool to see Claudio get the main event nod for the next PPV.

Ehh, im kinda on the fence about Nigel/Claudio II. The first one didnt live up to expectations to some people. Its one of ROH's biggest matchups, but i see almost no way Claudio will win. Steen garuntee'd gold, Danielson is beating everyone Nigel beat. Claudio just seems to be floating around. They havent hyped this fued up very much, in the past couple shows.

Danielson/Black should be a great matchup, however its their III match.

I dont know, maybe i was hoping for a speciality match. Its still early, good start to the card.

Hoping we see Aries vs Jacobs II in Detroit!

I think both men just had an off-night in their previous match (Combined with it being the biggest show in the company's history). Claudio and Nigel have had VERY GOOD matches in the past (During the days of the Pure Title) and I'm pretty sure they'll recapture some of that magic in their next match.

July 3rd: Last Saturday in Chicago saw a shocking series of events. Brent Albright won a fall over NWA World Heavyweight Champion Adam Pearce in a tag team match setting him up as the #1 contender. However, Albright's celebration was short lived as Adam Pearce threw a fireball right into his face. As a result, Albright will be forced to miss the 7/25 & 26 events. NWA officials have suggested that Pearce be suspended as punishment. ROH officials agree and Pearce will be off the 7/25 & 26 shows. However, they will both return to action on 8/1 in Manassas and then on 8/2 in Manhattan a huge match has been signed. ROH's return to the Hammerstein Ballroom will see Adam Pearce defend the NWA World Heavyweight Championship against Brent Albright!!! Tickets are selling fast so get yours now at ROHwrestling.com.

Pearce vs Albright... Their first encounter (Where Pearce won the NWA title) was better than I was expecting, hopefully they can surpass that when they face each other. Ruckus is just going to get killed by Roderick. And HOORAY for the CM Punk article.

you know NYC is going to be 100% behind albright in that one.

I like how gabe took a jab at the smarks with the "fresh" matchup of Strong vs Ruckus.

Virginia is looking stacked!

Its also looking like Gabe is starting having a hard time booking the ppvs to be in sinc with the regular shows and past ppvs. Its pretty obvisous the ppv shows are months behind current fueds.

I'm liking the amount of singles matches Chris Hero's gotten lately. He's been in good matchups like with Strong, and then Albright in VA. I really want to see what he can do as a serious title contender.

Get Aries in the 4 way and we have ourselves a great match. Death Before Dishonor is looking like a really strong show so far.

I'd have the title match be:

Nigel vs Black vs Claudio vs Aries....

so the danielson chasing the belt storyline holds up. Rather than giving him a free title shot.
 

Montana

Guest
Yeah Jacobs and Aries both dont have matches for Det or NY yet. I would assume they would wrestle in det. considering its Jacobs hometown.

July 9th: ROH's great debut in Virginia for "Southern Navigation" in May saw the team of Naomichi Marufuji, Go Shiozaki & Takeshi Morishima come out victorious. Super agent Larry Sweeney, who has recently signed Go Shiozaki as a client, told ROH officials that this has earned the NOAH contingent a shot at the ROH World Tag Team Titles. The Pro Wrestling NOAH office agreed. ROH officials see the opportunity to promote a great match and also agree. ROH's return to Manassas, VA on 8/1 will see ROH World Tag Team Champions Jimmy Jacobs & Tyler Black put the belts on the line against Naomichi Marufuji & Go Shiozaki. This is going to be an incredible night of tag team wrestling with this title bout and the dream match of Austin Aries & Bryan Danielson vs. Alex Shelley & Chris Sabin. Is it possible that Shiozaki & Marufuji win the ROH World Tag Team Titles leading to a return match in Japan at ROH's shows in Tokyo in September?

July 9th: Naomichi Marufuji's tour of ROH is now complete. A first time ever match has been signed for 7/25 in Toronto. It will be Marufuji vs. FIP World Heavyweight Champion Roderick Strong in a non-title match. This gives Marufuji the following schedule for his four show tour:
-7/25 in Detroit with Roderick Strong vs. Go Shiozaki & Chris Hero with Larry Sweeney
-7/26 in Toronto vs. Strong
-8/1 in Manassas with Go Shiozaki vs. Jimmy Jacobs & Tyler Black for the ROH World Tag Team Titles
