July 7th: We hope everyone had a wonderful and safe July 4th Holiday! We had a huge influx of followers lock onto our Twitter account bringing us near 4,000! Log onto www.twitter.com/rohonhdnet and become a follower! Get all of your ROH news and info delivered right to your phone!

July 7th: As announced this morning on the ROHWrestling.com main page (http://www.rohwrestling.com/news/article.aspx?id=2896), current GHC Junior Heavyweight Champion KENTA is returning to ROH and will be a part of the huge Ring of Honor on HDNet National Television tapings on August 14th and 15th! Several ROH talents have already expressed their desires to face KENTA in August. Voice your opinion on the ROH Forums; who should face KENTA when ROH tapes another 6 weeks for HDNet?

July 7th: News also broke this morning about the second of the two giant main events scheduled for "Death Before Dishonor VII Night 1", on July 14th in Toronto. The main page article (http://www.rohwrestling.com/news/article.aspx?id=289) announced that ROH World Champion Austin Aries will put his championship on the line in a Four Corner Survival against former champions Jerry Lynn and Nigel McGuinness, and the man who many tout the “next world champâ€, Tyler Black. All four men involved in this match have history going back several months, and it will all boil over in Toronto. Can Jerry Lynn regain the gold? Will Nigel prove the doubters wrong? Can Tyler Black finally reach the top of the ROH mountain? Or will “A Double†best them all and keep his mouth running? Get your tickets now!

July 7th: In addition to KENTA, we’re happy to announce the following participants for the August 14th and 15th HDNet Television Tapings: ROH World Tag Team Champion The American Wolves of Davey Richards and Eddie Edwards, D-Lo Brown, Claudio Castagnoli, El Generico, Jerry Lynn, Shawn Spears, The Briscoe Brothers, Roderick Strong, Brent Albright, Nikki Roxx (8/14 only), and Kenny King. Tickets purchased for the previous July dates or August 28th and 29th will be honored for these tapings.

July 7th: Don’t have HDNet? Call your local Cable provider and tell them you want to see Ring of Honor on HDNet every Saturday at 8pm Eastern. Until then, find episodes of the best wrestling on television through both the Sony Playstation 3 and Xbox360 online stores! The episodes are priced to fit your budget and can give you your ROH fix until HDNet is added to more cable systems.

July 7th: Signed for July 25th, "Death Before Dishonor VII- Night 2" is a rematch from our May 9th event in Edison, NJ. Joey Ryan was making his ROH debut in the market and ran into the returning Colt “Boom Boom†Cabana. Cabana rode his momentum and went on to victory on that night, but the war between Cabana and company and Prince Nana’s Embassy has only escalated from there, with Street Fights, Flag Matches, and a tremendous Elimination Match taped for week 23 of ROH on HDNet. Now Ryan and Cabana will do it again one-on-one in Toronto. Can Cabana one-up the Magnum again, and what of the rest of the Embassy? Will Nana’s “head sleaze†lower the boom on ‘Boom Boom’? We'll have comments from Joey Ryan in tomorrow's Video Wire. Get your tickets now at www.rohwrestling.com!

July 7th: ROH Officials are happy to announce that “The House of Truth†- Christin Able and Josh Raymond managed by Truth Martini has signed to compete when ROH returns to Dayton, OH on September 18th and Chicago, IL on September 19th. In addition, we’re also happy to announce that The Young Bucks – Nick and Matt Jackson – will also make their Dayton and Chicago ROH debuts on those events! Tickets for both events are on sale now!

Kevin Steen comments on his upcoming tag team match with Lance Storm against Chris Hero and Davey Richards, we get words for the Necro Butcher from Prince Nana and his crown jewel Jimmy Rave, and a special look at Supercard of Honor IV – on sale now at www.rohwrestling.com. All this plus Rhett Titus and Kenny King, a preview of this weekend's episode of ROH on HDNet, MsChif and Sara del Rey, and Joey Ryan has harsh words for Colt Cabana. Finally a sneak peak at the incredible chaos that ended the ROH event in Detroit, where the Age of the Fall reigned.

This week's episode features a hard-hitting main event with Jay Briscoe vs. Roderick Strong.

July 10th: We're happy to announce that camera crews were on hand in Chicago last month capturing footage for a new music video featuring Kidd Russell.

Kidd Russ is the artist responsible for "Boom Boom", the theme song of Cabana and, "The Thrust is a Must", the theme for Rhett Titus. For more information, please visit www.kiddruss.com. Thanks to Kidd Russell and his crew for supporting Ring of Honor!

July 10th: Claudio Castagnoli has challenged Brent Albright to a European Rules match for night two of Death Before Dishonor VII on July 25th in Toronto! "Albright has won a flag match, but what is a flag match? I am superior in every way, Europe is superior in every way, and European wrestling is superior in every way. So I challenge this inferior American to my match. European Rules. And so will I." Albright has accepted the challenge and we have word that he has issued one as well. We'll have more on that next week!

July 10th: ROH has welcomed cameras from TruTV over the past few events. The TruTV crews have been following Ring of Honor Head of Security Zach and his Staffers around live events to get a taste of what can happen during a live professional wrestling event. TruTV was on-site when a fan unfortunately jumped the rail in Philadelphia, proving that anything can – and sometimes does – happen in Ring of Honor. The footage is slated to be used in an upcoming TruTV production.

July 10th: Sonjay Dutt has been a breath of fresh air in ROH ever since he returned to active competition. Taking on all comers, the charismatic star has been a bright spot of ROH events he's participated in, and now, he has signed for action on July 24th in Toronto. His opponent? The generic luchador El Generico! "I wanted to face the best Canadi- er, uh, mexi-canadian I could find," said Dutt.

- July 14th: As announced yesterday on the ROHWrestling.com main page (http://www.rohwrestling.com/news/article.aspx?id=2902), signed for July 25th in Toronto is Nigel McGuinness versus Tyler Black! Those in attendance at the last ROH on HDNet Television Tapings saw the hostility between these two become reignited, as they did one-on-one battle, and later in the taping, Nigel in effect cost Tyler a victory, with tempers flaring. Now, that, on top of all the history between these two ROH greats, will boil over during Death Before Dishonor VII! Tickets for both nights are still available at www.rohwrestling.com! Don't forget, both Bret Hart (on 7/24) and Ric Flair (on 7/25) will be a part of the festivities!

- After a tremendous showing on the last Midwest swing, we are happy to announce that Petey Williams has signed and will be on hand when ROH returns to Dayton on September 18th and Chicago on September 19th! Petey made waves in both Detroit and Chicago, and we're excited to see what round two will bring!

- The war between the Embassy and the team of Colt Cabana, Necro Butcher, Brent Albright, and company is going to take the next step during Death Before Dishonor VII! As announced earlier today at http://www.rohwrestling.com/news/article.aspx?id=2904, an 8-Man Elimination Match has been signed for July 24th in Toronto! At the last ROH on HDNet Television Tapings, Cabana was able to outlast the Embassy and claim victory for his Army, but now, the stakes have risen! Prince Nana has called on Joey Ryan to take out Cabana, for Jimmy Rave to take out Necro, and for Claudio Castagnoli to leave Brent Albright unable to even make it to their Euro Rules match the next night. Nana said, "My Embassy will reign because now the mammoth bison, Bison Smith, will complete my forces, and that stinking tiny lumberjacker, Grizzly Redwood, will be the weak link." Can Cabana and crew overcome the odds with both Nana and Osiris at ringside? Will the Embassy assert their control? Be there and find out!July 14th: Don't forget that on July 24th after night one of Death Before Dishonor VII, ROH plans on burning the Midnight Oil at ‘The Champion's Den' – owned and operated by Jade Chung! Be a part of the official ROH after party. For more information, visit http://www.facebook.com/pages/edit/...-CHAMPIONS-DEN-SPORTS-BAR/120395420931?ref=ts

- Speaking of Cabana, he just got off a successful two week tour of Europe in which he represented Ring of Honor with pride. Colt was successful in defeating legendary British wrestler, Johnny Saint, in the third round of a great back-and-forth bout on Saint's home turf in England. The event was promoted by 1PW in Sheffield, England. El Generico, Jerry Lynn, and Nigel McGuinness also represented ROH in front of over 1,000 fans on this great event. Congratulations to Cabana on his victory!

- Ring of Honor returns to The Arena in South Philly for another great set of television tapings on August 14th and 15th. In addition to the great roster of talent already announced, we're happy to add: Sonjay Dutt, "American Dragon" Bryan Danielson, Jimmy Rave and Bison Smith with Prince Nana, "Addicted to Love" Rhett Titus, Delirious with Daizee Haze, Erick Stevens, Brodie Lee (8/14 only), Sterling James Keenan, Rhett Titus, Eddie Kingston (8/15 only), and Sara del Rey.

- Shane Hagadorn sent word to the ROH officials that "That Young Knockout Kid" Chris Hero has some pointed comments for Lance Storm coming in next week's ROH Videowire.

- We're happy to announce the first names for our return to Boston on September 25th and New York on September 26th: Kenny Omega, Sonjay Dutt, The Young Bucks of Matt and Nick Jackson, Eddie Kingston (9/26 only), and Guido Maritato (9/25 only). More names will be announced going forward as ROH prepares to return to Beantown and the Big Apple!

July 22nd: We're less than 72 hours away from history as Death Before Dishonor VII comes to Toronto! ROH prides itself on providing the most bang for your entertainment buck, and this weekend in Toronto is a perfect example. Bret Hart appears on Friday, Ric Flair on Saturday, and Lance Storm puts retirement on hold for two nights only as he returns to Ring of Honor! Get your tickets now at www.rohwrestling.com, and don't forget the afterparty on Friday night at "The Champion's Den" in Toronto's Greek Town!

July 22nd: The newest edition of the ROH Videowire is up and has people talking. This installment features words from the Briscoe Brothers before ROH rolls into Toronto this weekend as they agree to help out Kenny Omega. We also get a look at Delirious and his training as he tries to climb the ladder again in ROH. Plus, get a sneak peak at "Steel City Clash" - now available on DVD, thoughts from Nigel McGuinness, a look at Friday night's World Title Four Corner Survival, and the interview that has created a buzz going into Canada. Chris Hero has some pointed words for Lance Storm, on a variety of topics, and they have resonated. Hero will get a taste of Storm twice this weekend; will he be able to back up his words? All of this, plus a look at look at how it all ended for Jimmy Jacobs in Chicago. Check it out at http://www.rohvideos.com/watch?v=reFxVbbZaq4.

July 22nd: Singles action has been added to Saturday's event in Toronto as Canadian standout, Frankie the Mobster, will face the challenge of Prince Nana's monster - the massive Bison Smith. Frankie is a physical specimen but can he match the sheer power of the Bison?

July 22nd: ROH President Cary Silkin, Bobby Cruise, and Claudio Castagnoli all recently completed interviews leading into the huge events this weekend for "Monday Night Mayhem"! Check them out at www.mondaynightmayhem.com and get the skinny on all things ROH from three men who are ready for Death Before Dishonor VII.

July 22nd: Don't forget - if your cable provider doesn't carry HDNet but you own a Sony Playstation 3 or an Xbox360 console that Ring of Honor Wrestling on HDNet is still within reach. The program is available for download in both the Playstation 3 and Xbox 360 Online Store at a very reasonable price. In particular, for PS3, the Standard Definition broadcast is only $1.99, while the full High Definition broadcast is only $2.99. ROH extends a big thank you to everyone involved for making this possible.

July 22nd: ROH World Champion Austin Aries saw the footage and heard the comments made by Mark and Jay Briscoe on the most recent Videowire, and he was none too happy. "I look at the Briscoes," said Aries. "Two multi-time World Champions in ROH. One can't stay healthy, and the other talks too much. Now these guys offer to "back up" Kenny Omega, and frankly, I don't understand why. Sure, the Briscoes battled King and Titus last TV taping. And sure, Omega has had "issues" in dealing with us. But if Omega thinks this is going to help him get the fans in Toronto a shot at seeing him beating A Double for the ROH Title, he's mistaken. I was torn on whether or not to give him a shot on Saturday, but if anything, this makes the decision easier. Wait - now I'm unsure again. In fact, I think I'll wait until Saturday night to let everybody know."

July 22nd: Just signed for Ring of Honor's return to Boston and New York on September 25th and 26th: ROH World Champion Austin Aries, ROH World Tag Team Champions the American Wolves - Davey Richards and Eddie Edwards, Colt "Boom Boom" Cabana, Cheech and Cloudy, Kevin Steen, and El Generico!

July 28th: Nigel McGuinness suffered a moderate neck stinger on Friday night after the World Title Four Corner Survival match and was taken to the hospital. X-rays and other tests came back negative, and he was held off of Saturday’s event as a precaution. McGuinness is not expected to miss extended time. He did share some poignant words with ROH camera crews on Saturday during the event, and we will bring those to you in an upcoming Video Wire.

July 28th: The ROH Tag Team Division has never been hotter, and an example of that took place on Saturday night in Toronto as the Super Smash brothers scored the upset of their careers, upending Kevin Steen and El Generico! Steen and Generico were upset at the loss, but gave credit to the SSB for their victory. Things broke down backstage for Steen and Generico during a taping of “The Art of Pro Wrestling” with Colt Cabana, as there was a verbal altercation with an old foe. Footage of this will be made available during the next ROH Video Wire.

July 28th: Davey Richards was able to outlast 5 other competitors to in the inaugural Toronto Gauntlet and secure a shot at the ROH World Title in the future. “Time keeps on ticking,” said Richards. “And when that tick-tock stops, the clock strikes. And so will I.” ROH officials did not offer a timetable for Davey’s shot the World Title. More on this as it develops.

July 28th: Get ready Boston; the “Hitman” is coming! Just announced yesterday, Bret Hart has been added to the September 15th event in Beantown! For more info, check out http://www.rohwrestling.com/news/article.aspx?id=2923 . We will have additional talent and match announcements forthcoming.

July 28th: “That Young Knockout Kid” Chris Hero was able to defeat Lance Storm on Saturday night, but some would say it that victory doesn’t come without the help of his trusted green elbow pad. “I told the world,” said Hero. “I told them all that I keep on coming. I’m all day. Now Lance Storm knows. He knows the hype is anything but. I’m real. I’m all day. KENTA, you are next, my friend. You are next.” KENTA and Hero will face off when ROH and HDNet return to Philadelphia on August 14th and 15th! Get your tickets now!

August 5th: Fans all over the pro wrestling landscape have been chomping at the bit to see the Briscoes face the Young Bucks. Well, as announced earlier today at http://www.rohwrestling.com/news/article.aspx?id=2934, that match will now take place, and fans in Dayton, get ready! Signed for September 18th, Nick and Matt Jackson
– the Young Bucks – will face a team synonymous with ROH, Jay and Mark Briscoe. Get your tickets now at www.rohwrestling.com, and witness tag team excellence in living color! We'll have more matches for Dayton and Chicago later this week!

August 5th: Just signed for ROH's return to Boston and New York City: Delirious, "American Dragon" Bryan Danielson, Roderick Strong, Nigel McGuinness, Chris Hero, and Claudio Castagnoli. We'll have matches for this huge doubleshot weekend starting next week in the ‘wire.

August 5th: Brent Albright is scheduled to undergo surgery tomorrow to remove a blood clot in his calf. Albright was deemed to have suffered a moderate calf contusion after Night Two of Death Before Dishonor VII in Toronto, was given a prescription and was medically cleared to travel. Swelling and pain in the leg has increased exponentially since then and yesterday he was diagnosed as having a mass of coagulated blood "the size of a golf ball" in his leg. The mass can potentially break apart causing other blood clots, which if left untreated could be a much greater danger. Doctors surmise that the contusion suffered in Toronto was much worse than originally thought, with a fast and substantial amount of internal bleeding, which in turn caused the clot to form. Albright has pledged that he will not miss the ROH on HDNet Television Tapings on 8/14 and 8/15 and his chance to end his feud with Claudio Castagnoli. More on this as it develops.

August 5th: Jimmy Rave has been very vocal about his disgust for The Necro Butcher and has taken every chance to sneak in shots at the madman while running like hell when the tables are turned. Prince Nana has vowed that the crown jewel will vanquish Necro, and has signed for Rave to face Necro one-on-one in Philadelphia as part of the ROH on HDNet TV Tapings on August 14th! Can the Embassy put an end to Necro, or will Necro reign and watch the Embassy bodies pile to the sky? Get your tickets now at www.rohwrestling.com!

August 5th: We're happy to announce that Erick Stevens has been added to the September 18th and 19th events in Dayton and Chicago.

August 5th: Signed for the ROH on HDNet TV Tapings on August 15th is a rematch that has been brewing for quite some time. As seen in the latest ROH on HDNet recap by ThatWrestlingShow (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l9lIku5bFCs), Roderick Strong rolled D-Lo Brown up out of nowhere and claimed victory after D-Lo had some choice words for Roddy. D-Lo was able to gain a measure of revenge by defeating Strong when ROH last came through Chicago. Now Strong and D-Lo will tangle again. Who will gain the advantage in this budding rivalry?

August 5th: Don't forget to hook up with ROH via all of the social networking sites available. Log onto www.twitter.com/rohonhdnet, www.facebook.com/ringofhonor, and www.myspace.com/ringofhonor and get your ROH news up to the minute as it happens!

August 5th: There are less than 24 hours remaining to take advantage of this week's special offers. First, save $10 off reserved seating tickets. This is a tremendous offer to save on the best available seats for all upcoming live events. This includes shows in Philadelphia, Dayton, Chicago, Boston, New York, St. Louis, Indianapolis, Mississauga, Edison, Detroit, and Manassas.

Bucks vs Briscoes should be an awesome spotfest.

- Get ready Chicago! Tempers, bad blood, and revenge are on the mind of Mark Briscoe as his day has come. Ever since Final Battle 2008 when the Davey Richards and Eddie Edwards laid waste to his knee, he has dreamed of redemption. Through surgery and a brutal rehab, Mark has battled every step of the way, and finally is at a level where he can make his move. Signed for September 19th in Chicago, it will be the American Wolves versus the Briscoe Brothers! Davey and Eddie couldn't resist adding a heap of controversy onto the match, with Richards saying, "I'm glad the match is signed, boys, because the result will be the same. Last time it was Mark's knee. Well maybe this time it's Jay's. Maybe it's an elbow. Maybe a neck. It doesn't matter. What does matter is that you haven't proven yourselves to us or to anyone else since Piano Teeth came back. Therefore, the ROH World Tag Belts will NOT be on the line. Come and get it, boys. The hunt it STILL on."

- Check out Saturday night's episode of Ring of Honor Wrestling on HD Net at 8 PM and 11 PM. Witness the latest chapter in the heated rivalry between The American Wolves vs. Steen & Generico when Davey Richards goes one-on-one with El Generico in the main event. Other matches20include Colt Cabana & Brent Albright vs. Jimmy Rave & Claudio Castagnoli, Delirious vs. Silas Young, and Mark Briscoe vs. Alex Payne, plus appearances by Nigel McGuinness, Tyler Black & more. Don't forget Ring of Honor Wrestling on HDNet moves to Monday nights at 8 PM starting on August 17th.

- We're happy to report that the surgery to remove the huge blood clot from Brent Albright's leg was a 100% success. Doctors in Tulsa had to remove the clot in pieces from around his shinbone and did so with no complications. Albright's leg will be immobilized for two days, but he insists that will WILL be in Philly next weekend, and he WILL put an end to the feud between he and Claudio Castagnoli. "Nothing could stop me from climbing in that cage with that European bastard," said Brent. "I don't care if the doctors say no, or if my leg is now a target. It won't matter. Nothing could stop me from putting an end to this."

- A few weeks back, we told you that up-and-coming hip hop artist, Kidd Russell, filmed a music video with Ring of Honor as the subject. His outstanding release, "Rush", has been picked up by MTV and has been featured on "America's Best Dance Crew", and the brand new music v ideo has been completed. Many stars from ROH are featured in the video, including Colt "Boom Boom" Cabana! Check out the teaser trailer at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TB8vTMYt-pU. The full video debuts on August 22nd, coinciding with the single becoming available on iTunes! Also, to hear Kidd Russell and Colt Cabana talk about why ROH was involved in this project, check out http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L49K7q1Cjlg.

- With the Tag Team scene in ROH hotter than ever before, we're happy to announce that signed for Dayton on September 18th is a clash between two of the newest teams in ROH. Christin Able and Josh Raymond, with Truth martini – collectively known as the House of Truth – made a splash in their ROH debut against Steen and Generico. Now , they'll do battle with a team that made their impact felt earlier in 2009 before injury stepped in. Jon Davis and Kory Chavis manhandled seemingly everyone that got in their way before Davis suffered a horrific wrist injury. Now, fully heale d, the Dark City Fight Club is more determined than ever to plant their seed in ROH. It'll be the House of Truth versus the Dark City Fight Club on 9/18 in Dayton! Which team will continue to rise?

- ROH staff writer Holden McNeil has an interesting look at ROH World Champion Austin Aries' potential challengers at http://www.rohwrestling.com/news/article.aspx?id=2938. With Aries set to "give someone the chance of lifetime" by drawing his next challenger from a hat on HDNet, McNeil looks at the stars in ROH that could possibly take Aries to the limit. Whether or not they are actually in the hat remains to be seen.

- Signed for Chicago on September 19th is a clash of two men that have been entangled in one way or another for some time. Claudio Castagnoli has been battling Brent Albright for months on end, and w ith that feud coming to an end he made some remarks about an occurrence at the last ROH Chicago event. "Little known fact," said Castagnoli. "The fan that got laid out during our street fight last time in Chicago was Colt Cabana's father. " Mr. Cabana was treated at the scene by medical personnel and released in good condition with minor bruising. Castagnoli continued, "Now one can speculate, was it an accident? Maybe. Maybe it wasn't." Cabana upon hearing these remarks was quick to request a match with Claudio. "Look, everyone knows my Dad took a spill. It was accidental. Maybe Claudio's just jealous because he isn't in Kidd Russ' video, but either way, once Brent finishes him, I'll play around with the leftovers."

- The latest sale at ROHWrestling.com allows you to "Take 20% Off Your Next Order" with no minimum purchase. This offer is valid on DVD's, live event tickets, apparel, and more. New DVD releases include Manhattan Mayhem III from June 13th in New York City featuring Jerry Lynn vs. Austin Aries for the ROH World Title; The American Wolves vs. Kevin Steen & El Generico for the Tag Titles in a Submissions Match; Tyler Black vs. Jimmy Jacobs in a First Blood Match; plus much more. Contention from June 12th in Manassas, VA is also now in stock.

- The latest Ring of Honor Videowire has been uploaded and is available for viewing at http://www.rohvideos.com/watch?v=GTPkDMOZEik. See comments from Kenny King, Sonjay Dutt, and the Young Bucks say they're ready for the Briscoes in Dayton. Eddie Kingston hungers for Chris Hero in Manhattan, plus another episode of "The Art of Pro Wrestling" with Colt Cabana. In addition, there are words from the American Wolves, plus Jimmy Rave as well as a heated Steen and Generico prepare for Ladder War II.

- Speaking of Jimmy Rave, you can see him team with Claudio Castagnoli and Ernie Osiris as they take on Colt Cabana, Grizzly Redwood, and the Necro Butcher from "Contention" – now available on DVD. This match took place the night before Rave injured the leg of Necro and started Necro on his path to the Dog Collar Match against the ‘crown jewel', scheduled for September 19th in Chicago! Check out the action at http://www.rohvideos.com/watch?v=InYhzgpVn9I, and take a peak at Holden McNeil's take on the Dog Collar at http://www.rohwrestling.com/news/article.aspx?id=2947!

- ATTENTION LOS ANGELES! News broke this morning, and ROH is proud to announce that we are coming to Southern California! Ring of Honor will make it's LA debut as part of the WrestleReunion convention on Friday, January 29th at the International Ballroom at the LAX Hilton. For info on the convention, please check out www.wrestlereunion.com! More on this as it develops!

- Signed for September 18th in Dayton is a tag team match that personifies the word ‘intensity'. Brent Albright and Erick Stevens have many in the ROH locker room talking about their potential, and in Dayton, they face the best ROH has to offer in Davey Richards and Eddie Edwards – the American Wolves! If any two men in Ring of Honor can match the physicality that the World Tag Team Champions bring, it may just be Stevens and Albright. The tag team championship will not be on the line, but a win over the Wolves would most certainly signify the coming out party for ROH's newest team!

- ROH is happy to support Colt "Boom Boom" Cabana as he makes his stand-up comedy debut this Saturday at the world famous Improv in Hollywood! Cabana will take the stage as part of "Total Extreme Comedy" starring Cabana and Mick Foley, with Bret Ernst and others! Check out www.improv.com and follow the links to the Hollywood, CA location for more information!

- Kenny Omega looks to be in line for a shot at Austin Aries down the line, and in order to beat A Double, he knows he will have to be running at a level that most never reach. With that in mind, on September 25th in Boston, Omega has signed to face former ROH World Champion, Nigel McGuinness! Omega commented, "Nigel epitomizes greatness, and if I can beat him, maybe the greatest ROH champion ever, then I know I'm ready for Aries." McGuinness had comments which are forthcoming in a future ROH Videowire.

- Speaking of McGuinness, those in attendance in Philadelphia saw Nigel verbally accost the fans, and in particular, Roderick Strong. Nigel took to lambasting Roddy, berating him for essentially giving the fans everything they want and more. Nigel's verbal assault on Roddy led to him losing to Joey Ryan that night, and now Strong wants Nigel to pay. "Nigel had no reason to get in my business," said Strong. "The way I see it, he caused me to lose that match. And who cares what Nigel thinks? He's broken down and bitter and blames the fans for it, and now he's decided to make me part of it. Well, in New York on September 25th, I'll shut him up. Because Nigel, only the strong survive." It's McGuinness versus Strong in NYC!
