I heard he's been touring with his band.

I have heard his name mentioned along with sabu, but now lots of names are being tossed around. This is one reason why i like ROH, it keeps you guessing, rather than in wwe when you know what the wwe is going to do, before they even do it.

January 28th: Davey Richards & Rocky Romero of No Remorse Corps are the new ROH World Tag Team Champions. They captured the belts in Ultimate Endurance last Saturday in Chicago. Richards & Romero will make their first defense on 2/23 in Manhattan. We will have news on their opponents soon right here in the ROHwrestling.com Newswire. The tag team scene is now in total chaos following this surprising title change. The Age Of The Fall have tasted the power of having the belts and want it back more than ever. The Briscoes are now focused on getting revenge on AOTF and regaining the ROH World Tag Team Titles. In other interesting news, there are talks between Austin Aries and Bryan Danielson of teaming more after the chemistry they had last Saturday in Chicago. Aries & Danielson's only goal would be the belts. You also have to consider The Hangmen Three and The Vulture Squad as serious players in the ROH World Tag Team Title hunt. What about Steen & Generico? We have a news item on that below.

January 28th: Your last chance to watch ROH "Undeniable" on the primary iN DEMAND PPV channel is tonight at 8pm!!! This will also be the last airing of ROH "Undeniable" in primetime on iN DEMAND. "Undeniable" will be on The DISH Network's All Day Ticket today, tomorrow and January 31st. "far better from a wrestling standpoint than anybody else in North America is going to do...." - Dave Meltzer, 1/14/08 Wrestling Observer Newsletter

January 28th: We are very pleased to announce that Kota Ibushi from the DDT promotion in Japan will come to ROH for a very special one week stay. Ibushi will wrestle on 4/11 in Boston, 4/12 in Edison, 4/18 in Detroit and 4/19 in Chicago. ROH officials were blown away when they saw Ibushi live at NOAH's 7/15 Budokan Hall event. Efforts were made since that time to bring Ibushi to ROH and now he will make a very special one week only appearance in April. Ibushi will face main event quality opponents on all four nights. His opponents will be announced in the upcoming weeks. Tickets for all four shows are on sale now.

January 28th: The buy 3, get 1 FREE sale on ROH DVDs is back at ROHwrestling.com and it includes three new releases. Check the main page of www.ROHwrestling.com to find out how to get one free ROH DVD for every three ROH DVDs you purchase. You can now get "Unscripted III" as part of the sale featuring Bryan Danielson vs. Jimmy Jacobs and The Briscoes & Erick Stevens vs. No Remorse Corps. Also out now is "Reckless Abandon" featuring Bryan Danielson vs. The Necro Butcher and the mother of all Tag Team Scrambles. You can also include the pre-order of ROH "Undeniable" (note that your order will not ship until mid-February) with the entire PPV and three bonus matches including Jay Briscoe vs. The Necro Butcher in an insane brawl. Act now at www.ROHwrestling.com because the sale ends Thursday morning.

January 28th: Kevin Steen immediately called the ROH offices after hearing that NRC won the ROH World Tag Team Titles. Steen demanded a shot for himself and El Generico. Romero & Richards have stated that they must first earn a shot. Steen & Generico will get that opportunity on 2/22 in Long Island. It will be Roderick Strong & Davey Richards vs. Kevin Steen & El Generico in Long Island!!!

January 28th: Jack Evans suffered a serious facial injury in Japan and had surgery on Friday for a broken nasal cavity, broken eye socket and broken cheekbone. It's been a rough time for The Vulture Squad. Ruckus has been in the hospital since last Tuesday with pneumonia. We will post an update on both when we get one. We wish both Jack and Ruckus a speedy recovery.

January 28th: Tickets are red hot for the March 28th & 29th events in Orlando. March 28th will be "Dragon Gate Challenge II" and March 29th will be "Supercard Of Honor III." We will have much more news for both these events soon.

=======================================================

Not to much news here, but the 6th anniversary show is already looking huge. Nigel vs Danielson, Aries vs Go, and Tornado vs Delirous,

January 30th: The FIP World Heavyweight Title Match for the 6th Anniversary Show on 2/23 in Manhattan has been signed. There will be a huge FIP Title rematch on 2/16 at the FIP event in Crystal River, FL (www.FullImpactPro.com for info) pitting champion Erick Stevens vs. the man he defeated for the title Roderick Strong. Since there is no telling whether Stevens or Strong will walk into Manhattan as champion an interesting match has been signed for 2/23. Last time in New York, Stevens vs. Strong tore the house down. Now 2/23 will see another rematch between these two, but with a different twist. ROH will celebrate its birthday with Stevens vs. Strong vs. The Necro Butcher in a one fall winner take all no DQ three-way!!! Get tickets now at ROHwrestling.com.
January 30th: Tyler Black wrote in his blog at www.AgeOfTheFall.com that Joey Matthews will return to ROH on 2/22 in Long Island and 2/23 in Manhattan. We have learned that Matthews vs. Kevin Steen has been signed for Manhattan!!!
January 30th: The buy 3, get 1 FREE sale at www.ROHwrestling.com on all ROH DVDs continues until tomorrow morning. Get new releases like 12/1/07 "Unscripted III" from Chicago. Weather conditions caused the format to be thrown out the window for a surprising night of action. You'll see: The Briscoes & Erick Stevens vs. Roderick Strong, Davey Richards & Rocky Romero; Bryan Danielson vs. Jimmy Jacobs; BJ Whitmer vs. Delirious in a No DQ Match; Brent Albright vs. Jigsaw; Claudio Castagnoli vs. Chris Hero; Sara Del Rey vs. Lacey; Austin Aries vs. Tyler Black plus more including a wild Six Man Mayhem and Adam Pearce!!! Order "Unscripted III" for immediate delivery at ROHwrestling.com.
January 30th: Kevin Steen has made a guarantee. Check the main page of ROHwrestling.com for the article with all the details.
January 30th: Look for a new ROH Video Wire later today or tomorrow at www.ROHvideos.com with news about Manhattan and Long Island plus highlights of the World Tag Team Title change and much more. In the meantime, don't miss the ROH Video Wire that was released just last week with the conclusion of the Tammy Sytch vs. Lacey altercation. Does it have a Sunny ending?
January 30th: You can now pre-order the two ROH nationally released DVDs at Amazon.com and sample the artwork at:

Kevin Steen Makes A Bold Guarantee
Tuesday, January 29, 2008

It was almost a year ago when Kevin Steen and El Generico were given a one night tryout at "Fifth Year Festival: Philly" against Jay & Mark Briscoe. They ended up stealing the show that night and they have yet to slow down. Now stealing the show isn't enough for Kevin Steen.

You can describe Steen as brash, crude and outspoken. In the ring he is strong, agile and brutal. Now he has made his boldest statement yet. Steen called the staff here at ROHwrestling.com and demanded that we put the following comment online:

"I guarantee there will be some gold around Kevin Steen's fantastic waist in 2008" Steen said. "I don't care if it's the tag titles with Generico, the ROH World Title or the FIP title but I'm getting a new belt to keep my pants up and it's going to be a big heavy shiny one! Hell, I want an ROH recognized title this year so bad, I'd even get a sex change and go after the damn Shimmer belt if I could go through the operation without having to take time off away from the ring! This is how much it means to me! In 2008, Kevin Steen is going to win his first ROH recognized title and that's just the way it is!"

Steen has made his goal clear. Now he must get into title contention. Then we will see if he can win the big one. It all starts for Steen & El Generico on February 22nd in Long Island when they battle former FIP World Heavyweight Champion Roderick Strong & one half of the ROH World Tag Team Champions Davey Richards. This is the match that could put Steen in position to back up his words. The pressure is on.
