Is it me, or do these newswires seem to feature newer talent. I mean, they seem to talk a lot about Kenny Omega, Kenny King, Jerry Lynn, Rhett Titus.
Anyone else notice this?

I actually like it. It gives people a reason to look out for (And ultimately care for) some of the newer guys. Its better than just throwing then out to the ring and hoping that the fans like them.
Also, they seem to be teasing another Nigel vs Lynn match. The first one was pretty good, but I don't think it was good enough to merit a rematch.

- November 13th: We're just one day away from the debut of Ring of Honor "Driven" on PPV. The event will air on iN Demand, The Dish Network, and TVN cable systems. The early reviews have been outstanding including Sean Radican of pwtorch.com giving the main event of Jimmy Jacobs & Tyler Black vs. Kevin Steen & El Generico 5 STARS. Radican wrote "The main event was simply incredible. This is the best match I've seen in 2008." Richard Gray of wrestlingnewsword.com says "ROH offers so much more bang for your buck than WWE or TNA pay-per-views that buying them should be a no-brainer. The final two matches of the show are two of the best matches that you will see on pay-per-view this year". For more information on the PPV click here: http://www.rohwrestling.com/news/article.aspx?id=2387
- There is a video teaser posted for the "Driven" PPV at http://www.rohvideos.com/watch?v=WkqQbehGSxc.
- The stage is set! December 27th in New York City at the Manhattan Center, the grudge match of the year has been signed for Final Battle! Former ROH World Champion, "American Dragon" Bryan Danielson, will finally get his chance at redemption as he will oppose the man responsible for his permanent loss of eyesight, a man who in his own right is also a former ROH World Champion, Pro Wrestling NOAH's Takeshi Morishima! Both men are focused on taking the other out for good, so much so that both parties have agreed to settle the score in a Fight without Honor! It should be mentioned that if circumstances find Bryan Danielson once more carrying the ROH World Title, then the belt will also be on the line! Tickets are available now at www.rohwrestling.com.
- Nigel McGuinness certainly isn't planning on anyone else carrying the ROH World Title anytime soon other than himself. To that end, we're told the training regiment for both his Dayton championship 3-Way-Dance against Austin Aries and Tyler Black, as well as his highly publicized PPV encounter against Bryan Danielson in Chicago, must be seen to be believed. In fact, it seems that Claudio Castagnoli has been seen sparring and talking strategy with McGuinness. As we all know, Castagnoli is opposing Danielson in a heated grudge match of their own on 11/21 in Dayton!
- ROH officials are happy to welcome back Bushwhacker Luke Williams, as he will be appearing in the St. Louis Area on 12/5 and in Nashville on 12/6.
- If you missed the announcement on the main page at www.rohwrestling.com it's now official. Samoa Joe vs. Tyler Black has been signed for Chicago Ridge, IL next Saturday night. Black has stated that when he wins the ROH World Title the night before in Dayton, he'll defend the belt against Joe in Chicago. You can still get 25% off all tickets for this loaded PPV taping.
- Kenny Omega was both consoled and congratulated by the Briscoes for his effort, albeit on the losing end, in their Montreal tag team match. Kenny King inexplicably abandoned Omega during the contest and watched him ultimately fall to the Briscoes while laughing at him from ringside with his new found cohort, Rhett Titus. As a result, we're happy to announce that two big grudge matches have been signed. In St. Louis, Kenny Omega will face Kenny King one-on-one in the hopes of gaining revenge. Not to be outdone, King accepted the match on the condition that he be granted a match of his choice. That match, signed for Nashville, will be a 6-Man-Tag Team match pitting Kenny Omega and the Briscoe Brothers against Kenny King, Rhett Titus, and King's YRR partner, the returning Sal Rinauro!
- Speaking of Rhett Titus, he's decided to thrust his name into the hat for the Four-Corner-Survival taking place in Dayton on 11/21. Already announced for that match is newcomer Sami Callahan, and the addition of Titus leaves two spots still open. Don't forget that Callahan is also signed for the Four-Corner-Survival scheduled the next night in Chicago.
- You still have less than 24 hours to take advantage of the 25% off sale at www.rohwrestling.com. Everything is on sale including all DVD's, tickets, & apparel. Don't forget the latest DVD releases from Ring of Honor including "The Tokyo Summit" from 9/14/08 features KENTA & Kota Ibushi vs. Naomichi Marufuji & Katsuhiko Nakajima; Yoshinobu Kanemaru vs. Bryan Danielson for the GHC Jr. Title; Nigel McGuinness vs. Jimmy Jacobs for the ROH World Title; Jay & Mark Briscoe vs. Davey Richards & Takeshi Morishima; Austin Aries vs. Tyler Black; El Generico vs. Taiji Ishimori; plus more. "Battle of the Best" from 9/13/08 features Nigel McGuinness vs. Bryan Danielson; Jimmy Jacobs & Tyler Black vs. Jay & Mark Briscoe for the World Tag Team Titles; El Generico, Shingo, & Dragon Kid vs. Naruki Doi, Masato Yoshino & BxB Hulk; Roderick Strong vs. Davey Richards; plus more.
- We regret to inform you that due to a Grade 3 concussion suffered at the hands of Sweet-n-Sour Incorporated in Toronto, Erick Stevens will be unable to appear as scheduled in Dayton and Chicago. We're told that Stevens is resting comfortably and is completely disgusted by what happened. The ugly attack can be witnessed in the latest ROH Video Wire at http://www.rohvideos.com/watch?v=yZ6b74OOCKM. This turn of events leaves the team of Brent Albright and Roderick Strong shorthanded in their scheduled 6-Man-stipulation-to-be-named-PPV-War against Sweeney's team of Go Shiozaki, Chris Hero, and Davey Richards. We're awaiting word from the ROH Booking Committee on whether or not this match will still happen. For more information on the show you can also log on to www.ChicagoProWrestling.com.
- "Dirty" Ernie Osiris has uncomfortably asked ROH Officials to let the fans know that he will accepting donations at all upcoming Ring of Honor events in the hopes that one day he'll be able to afford a "battery-operated beard trimmer" and "semi-decent ring gear". Thank you.
Looks like Danielson will FINALLY get his clean win over Morishima.

November 14th: TONIGHT is the night. Ring of Honor "DRIVEN" debuts on PPV. In the United States you can watch this event on iN Demand, The Dish Network, and TVN cable systems. In Canada you can see this event on Bell Express Vu and Viewer's Choice cable systems. The event replays several times this weekend including the traditional 8pm EST time slot on Sunday. For more information on the event click here: http://www.rohwrestling.com/news/article.aspx?id=2387.
November 14th: Mark and Jay Briscoe showed a different and somewhat unfortunate side of themselves after their hard fought loss to Kevin Steen and El Generico in Toronto. Their level of aggression post-match was at an all-time high, and their frustration due to the loss went way past what we’re accustomed to seeing from the former World Tag Team Champions. “We’ve earned our spot. We’ve done it time and again, and now we have that black mark hanging over our headsâ€, said Jay Briscoe. “But we’re gonna do what we do, son, and that’s simple. We man up. Can Steen and Generico do that? Are they men or mice? Yeah, they got a win. ONE win. That don’t prove nothing to nobody. Do it again and then maybe you got something.†We’ll have comments from Steen and Generico next week in the Newswire.
November 14th: Claudio Castagnoli has been rumored to have been training along side ROH World Champion, Nigel McGuinness. He’ll put that alleged training to the test as he’s thrown himself into the Four-Corner-Survival scheduled for Chicago on 11/22. Besides the challenge of Silas Young, Sami Callahan, and one other unnamed competitor on that night, don’t forget that Castagnoli is facing Bryan Danielson in a highly volatile grudge match the night before in Dayton!
November 14th: Mums the word in Austin Aries’ camp as he prepares for his “I Quit†war against Jimmy Jacobs on 11/22. We know that Tyler Black will second Jacobs to the ring, and that Aries will also have a second, but he has refused every inquiry as to who that second will be. Aries will get an up close and personal look at Black the night before in Dayton during the scheduled 3-Way-Title Match as they both oppose Nigel McGuinness, but will Aries’ second also be on hand?
November 14th: ROH officials have been unable to reach anyone connected to the Necro Butcher to ascertain the status of the knee injury he suffered at the hands of the AOTF’s Brodie Lee in Montreal. Necro has seemingly gone into seclusion, and at this point all we know is that he’s scheduled to be a part of ROH’s debut events in St. Louis and Nashville. We can’t confirm at this time if he’ll be able to compete, but we can surely surmise that he has his sights set on revenge.
November 14th: The Triple Savings Sale returns for a few days at www.rohwrestling.com. With the first part of the sale you can save 15% off your next order. The second part of the sale features over 60 DVD's reduced to $5 or less. The final part of this sale gives you 30% off tickets to ALL upcoming Ring of Honor live events. Don't forget you can use the 15% off sale along with the $5 Sale and the 30% off ticket sale. If you're looking for ROH tickets, this is your time to buy.
November 14th: Without question, the top two female competitors to emerge out of the St. Louis wrestling scene in recent years are SHIMMER Champion MsChif and Daizee Haze. Both women have several years of history with one another, both as training partners, adversaries, and as occasional teammates. There's no better place for MsChif and The Haze to have their first one-on-one match in ROH competition, than in front of the St. Louis area fans who have watched them from the start of their careers. On 12/5 in suburban St. Louis, these two Women of Honor will show their hometown fans what athletic female wrestling is all about in ROH. If MsChif is still SHIMMER Champion come 12/5, the title will be on the line!
November 14th: Sources indicate that Larry Sweeney has been reluctantly telling those around him that it’s time Bobby Dempsey earned his keep. Could this mean that Dempsey will finally see action inside the ring as opposed to always being forced to hide under it? And when might this happen? More on this as it develops.
November 14th: There is a great video on the Roderick Strong & Erick Stevens feud with Sweet N Sour Inc posted here: http://www.rohvideos.com/watch?v=mMwXYss9XU8. If you missed the latest Video Wire you can see it here: http://www.rohvideos.com/watch?v=yZ6b74OOCKM&feature=channel.
November 14th: Fans of Nashville, get ready. After spouting some unflattering comments on November 10th, Nigel McGuinness will be forced to physically back them up as he will face Jerry Lynn man-to-man! This match will take place regardless of whether or not McGuinness retains the ROH World Title in Dayton or Chicago. “Nigel is a great wrestlerâ€, said the ever-classy Lynn. “He’s one of the best of his generation. But that ego of his is going to be his downfall. I’m glad the booking committee made this match for me and my hometown fans, and I promise those fans in Nashville that win, lose, or draw, I’m taking Nigel to the limit.â€
November 14th: We’ll have more news on the St. Louis and Nashville cards early next week in the Newswire, as well as an update on whether or not Brent Albright and Roderick Strong plan to find a replacement for the injured Erick Stevens in Chicago. Also, we’ll have exclusive “Final Battle Weekend†news and more. Have a great weekend!

One is both a former ROH World Champion and a former ROH World Tag Team Champion. The other is a former GHC Jr. Heavyweight Champion, a former GHC Jr. Tag Champion, a former GHC Openweight Champion, a former GHC Tag Champion, a former GHC Heavyweight Champion, and the current AJPW Jr. Heavyweight Champion. And now for the first time, Austin Aries and Naomichi Marufuji will collide within the confines of the ROH ring! Each competitor could be considered the ace of their respective promotions, and both men have their sights on the ROH World Title, and should Aries capture the World title in Dayton on November 21st, this could end also up as a World Title Match.
Add this world class match-up to the previously announced Bryan Danielson vs. Takeshi Morishima Fight Without Honor for New York City, as well as the participation of Kensuke Sasaki & Katsuhiko Nakajima, and this Philadelphia/NYC weekend is shaping up to be one of the biggest in ROH's history. Great seats are still available at www.rohwrestling.com for Philadelphia on December 26th and New York City on December 27th.
Aries vs Marufuji=Sure fire match of the year candidate

November 18th: If you haven't already seen the 11/18 edition of the ROH Video Wire, do yourself a favor and go to ROHVideos.com now! Not only are interviews from Jimmy Jacobs, Austin Aries, Bryan Danielson, and ROH World Champion Nigel McGuinness featured, but you'll be able to take a sneak peak at our last two events in Canada, and take a strange and dark walk with Delirious!
November 18th: Jimmy Jacobs was very pointed in his interview on the newest Video Wire, stating that Austin Aries has been a pawn in "his" game. An unexpected twist to this game could take place should Austin Aries become a two-time ROH Champion this Friday in Dayton. We have been informed by the ROH booking committee that should Aries defeat Tyler Black and Nigel McGuinness in Dayton, the "I Quit" match scheduled for Chicago will be for the ROH Title! We still have no clue who Aries will choose as his ring second for this brutal contest. Don't be left out, good tickets are still available at www.rohwrestling.com. Save $5 off all tickets plus an additional 20% off your order until Thursday morning at 9am.
November 18th: ROH officials have finally spoken to the Necro Butcher. In a correspondence received within the last 36 hours, Necro confirmed he is still convalescing and doing what he can to heal his injured knee as fast as possible. In what was perceived as a bit of posturing, he refused to give any insight into just how bad the knee is or what the specific injury is. He was, however, willing to confirm that he will be in St. Louis on 12/5 and Nashville on 12/6. "Revenge will be mine," said the Butcher. "I told everyone I'd pile the bodies to the sky, but it looks like I could use a little help. Maybe from someone just as crazy as me."
November 18th: The phone rang off the hook this morning in the ROH offices with calls from Larry Sweeney. He apparently is sick and tired of being asked whether Sweet-n-Sour Incorporated will answer the challenge laid out by Brent Albright for Steel Cage Warfare in New York during Final Battle Weekend. "I refuse to answer such a ludicrous challenge," said Sweeney. "Why would I put my men, the finest men money can buy, in harms way against Neanderthals like Albright, Stevens, and Rodney Strong? I am not a stupid man."
November 18th: Speaking of Sweeney, rumor has it that ROH officials tried to address the vicious attacks recently of Brent Albright and Erick Stevens by Sweet-n-Sour personnel, only to have Sweeney hang up the phone. ROH officials are incensed at the continual interference in matches by Sweeney's men and attacks outside of the ring. More on this as it develops.
November 18th: The 20% Off Sale is back at www.rohwrestling.com. Save money on your next order of DVD's, live event tickets, apparel, & more. We also have a special for those fans looking to attend this weekend's events in Dayton, OH and Chicago Ridge, IL where all tickets have been marked down $5 each.
November 18th: The most recent SHIMMER tapings saw Serena Deeb rise to main event status in a series of matches against Sara Del Rey. As an added bonus for ROH's debut event in Nashville, we are proud to deliver Women of Honor to compete in a Four Corner Survival matchup! This non-title affair will see Serena mix it up once again with Death Rey, as they also battle a very determined Daizee Haze, as well as "Your Soul's Tormentor," the SHIMMER Champion, MsChif!

November 20: Word has come from our contacts in Japan that Kensuke Sasaki and Katsuhiko Nakajima have issued open challenges for during Final Battle weekend. Sasaki and Nakajima will team in both Philadelphia and New York, wanting to take on ROH’s “toughest fighters”. The ROH booking committee has a short list of teams to fill these slots, but is having an admittedly hard time choosing. More on this as it develops.
November 20: The stipulation is set for Saturday’s 6-Man-Tag-Team battle in Chicago! After repeated attempts to get Larry Sweeney to address the Steel Cage Challenge laid out by Brent Albright for Final Battle, the leader of Sweet-N-Sour Incorporated has this to say: “I’ll tell you what. Since this cage match is soooooo important to those Cro-Magnons, I’ll make it very simple. If those two, with whoever they’re dumb mystery partner is, can beat my team of Hero, Go, and Davey - they can have their stupid cage match. But rest assured, daddy, there is no way - none, zip, zilch, nada – that they can win this match. They’re outmanned, they’re outgunned, and they most certainly are out “brained”. Mark my words. I never make a bet I won’t win, and in Chicago on Saturday night, it’ll be no different. Hahahahahahaha!”
November 20: Grizzly Redwood was recently seen sparring with Bushwhacker Luke Williams.
November 20: A dream match has been signed for 12/26 in Philadelphia! “American Dragon” Bryan Danielson will oppose the ageless Jerry Lynn in a match with several intriguing title possibilities! If Dragon becomes a 2-Time ROH Champion this weekend, this match could conceivable end up for the World Title! If Nigel should retain this weekend, but lose to Lynn in Nashville on 12/6, then likewise the title could be on the line. The next several weeks will be interesting to say the least!

- November 25th: One could reasonably argue that Claudio Castagnoli cost Bryan Danielson the ROH World Title last Saturday in Chicago with an attack on Danielson's already injured leg, also suffered at the hands of Castagnoli in Dayton. Rumor has it that Castagnoli immediately began lobbying the ROH Booking Committee for another shot at Danielson after his loss in Dayton, and that 12/6 in Nashville is his target date for the rematch. We have it on good authority that both competitors will address this in this week's Video Wire which will be available for viewing on Wednesday.
- Larry Sweeney sent Bobby Dempsey into action this past weekend in Dayton, and he was ever-impressive in victory. The huge ovation for Dempsey by the Dayton fans did not seem to sit well with Sweeney, who lambasted Dempsey at every turn, even with the win. We've confirmed that Dempsey is scheduled be in action on both 12/5 and 12/6. We'll have match announcements soon here in the Newswire.
- Irish Airborne came up short in their ROH return in Dayton, falling to the hyper-aggressive Briscoe Brothers. The Airborne will return to ROH action in Nashville on 12/6 as they will face the interesting duo of Grizzly Redwood and Bushwhacker Luke Williams! Redwood and Luke have been seen training and sparring as of late, and they appear ready to see if they have what it takes to make a dent in ROH's tag team division.
- The Necro Butcher said he'd find someone as "crazy" as him to battle the Age of the Fall in St. Louis. We now know who his partner will be. Fresh off his return to ROH in Chicago along side Brent Albright and Roderick Strong, "Crazy" Ace Steel has stepped up and told the Butcher that he will stand along side him! It will be Ace and the Butcher teaming on 12/5 to face Jimmy Jacobs and Delirious. Daizee Haze will also be on hand in St. Louis, facing Shimmer Champion and AOTF member, MsChif. ROH officials have been informed that the Haze has sent Necro some correspondence as recently as last Sunday. We don't know at this point what that correspondence entailed. Tickets are on sale for $10 to this event until Thursday morning.
- We also know that Necro has demanded a match against the AOTF on 12/6 in Nashville as well. It isn't clear if he's requested a singles or tag team match, but we do know that Ace Steel is not scheduled to be in Nashville. More on this as it develops.
- Word came down late last night from the ROH Offices that a Grudge Tag Team match will take place on 12/6 in Nashville. Brent Albright and the returning Erick Stevens will face a duo from Sweet-n-Sour Incorporated. In light of recent events, ROH Officials have mandated that all managers and ring seconds will be BARRED from ringside to help mitigate any potential outside interference in this encounter. As you might imagine, this ruling has outraged Larry Sweeney, as he was threatened with what ROH officials deemed as "stiff repercussions" if this mandate is ignored. Tickets are on sale for $10 to this event until Thursday morning.

For the discount codes and complete details on the sale click here: http://www.rohwrestling.com/news/article.aspx?id=1682
- We are happy to announce the next two teams vying for the opportunity to face Kensuke Sasaki and Katsuhiro Nakajima at Final Battle on 12/27 in New York! Joining Brent Albright and Erick Stevens on 12/5 in suburban St. Louis will be the recently resurfaced Irish Airborne and The Briscoe Brothers! These two teams just faced off in Dayton with the Briscoes easily dominating the contest. Will the story be different with two other for Mark and Jay to worry about? We are awaiting the 4th and final team, and anticipate those names early next week.
- Rhett Titus called the ROH Booking Committee late on Thanksgiving laughing hysterically. Titus could barely get out the words, "Brother, are you serious? Grizzly Redwood and Bushwhacker Luke?! Hahahhahaahahhahahah!!!!" The phone call then went dead.
- We've received word from Daizee Haze that she's got some important business to take care of in both St. Louis and Nashville. She's scheduled to face SHIMMER Champion, MsChif, in St. Louis, and the Haze is taking part in a Four-Corner-Survival in Nashville. Daizee insists that as important as these matches are to her career, she's got "far more important things at stake" and she plans on "starting down the right path" on 12/5 and 12/6.
A grudge match between Bryan Danielson vs. Claudio Castagnoli has been signed for the Nashville event next Saturday night and the stipulation for their match is announced in the Video Wire.
- Kenny Omega is happy to be appearing in both Philadelphia and New York for Final Battle weekend. "It's a great honor to perform in front of some of the best wrestling fans anywhere, and to be a part of Ring of Honor and to wrestle at Final Battle is a dream come true for me." We'll have match assignments soon right here in the newswire.
- Since we last reported that Ernie Osiris was accepting donations for "a battery-operated beard trimmer" and "semi-decent ring gear", he hasn't been heard from. Sources indicate that he may have been last seen sleeping in a subway car somewhere around Shea Stadium. If anyone has seen Ernie Osiris or knows of his whereabouts, please contact the ROH offices.
- We'll have another big match to announce on Monday for the 12/26 Philly show.

- December 3rd: Rhett Titus has had disparaging remarks for Grizzly Redwood and Luke Williams as of late, and now he'll have to back up those words in suburban St. Louis on Friday night. "Addicted to Love" will team with new found friend and Kenny King's YRR partner, Sal Rinauro, to take on the unorthodox duo of Redwood and Luke in tag team action!
- Don't forget that also on Friday, Kenny King will face Kenny Omega in a singles grudge match stemming from Montreal where King left Omega to fall to the Briscoes. Then on Saturday in Nashville, King, Titus, and Rinauro will face Omega and the Briscoes in a 6-Man-Tag Team affair.
- There is a 1-day sale at www.rohwrestling.com where you can save 20% off your order. For details click here: http://www.rohwrestling.com/news/article.aspx?id=2338
- Larry Sweeney has been reportedly gloating to anyone who will listen, saying he's got the best young tag team around. And it appears now that they will have an opportunity to prove it. Davey Richards and Eddie Edwards of Sweet-n-Sour Incorporated will be on hand in Philadelphia on 12/26 and are demanding a "high profile tag team match". Sweeney commented, "Hahahahaha, once again Sweet-n-Sour proves why it is the straw that stirs the drink! Davey and Eddie are top shelf, and we intend to prove it. The ROH Booking Committee will be forced to take us into championship consideration - one way or another."
- ROH officials spoke briefly with Jimmy Jacobs about the challenge laid out by the Necro Butcher, Kevin Steen, and El Generico for Philly on 12/26. Jacobs said with a smirk, "A game. That is all this challenge represents. This is an attempt by Necro to get into my head, to spew the tale that only he hears in his deranged mind. I laugh at the notion that I'd run the Age of the Fall headlong into a slaughter by not only facing Necro, Steen, and Generico – all three with which we've certainly played the game – but by also agreeing to have one of us team with Mark and Jay Briscoe. Surely this is a game crafted by the mind of a child. A child, who in Collinsville and Nashville, won't like the game I intend to play."
- For those fans attending the Nashville event on Saturday night, the folks at Vanderbilt University have asked that everybody should park in lots 73, 74, and 75. To access these lots, turn off of West End Avenue onto Natchez Trace. The lots will be on the right.
- We will have it on good authority that a huge announcement regarding "Final Battle" will be made in the next 24 hours. More on this as it develops.

- Daizee Haze had plenty of venom in her words for Rhett Titus and the Age of the Fall in a video recently forwarded to ROH Officials http://www.you-tube.com/watch?v=PIgyZ3NV8SM. She is bound and determined to force Rhett Titus to admit that his lewd and disrespectful claims are untrue. Titus commented, "Brother, seriously? If anyone could tell you I've got shoulders like boulders, it's Daizee. If anyone could tell you that my thighs mesmerize, it's Daizee. And if anyone, and I mean anyone, knows that the thrust is definitely a must and knocks off the rust, it's that tramp Daizee."
- We will have the first talent announcements for the January 16 event in Manassas, VA and the January 17 event in Edison, NJ early next week. ROH officials are finalizing negotiations with some great Mid Atlantic talent for these two events.
