Why we (along with Roderick Strong) are now going to be seeing a "different" & "better" Davey Richards, beginning this Saturday night in Chicago: "It's Davey Richards & Roderick Strong for the ROH World Championship. If you look at what Roderick has done in his career, he & Davey have fought many times before, and Davey has never beaten him for a title. Roderick has controlled the pace of title matches before. Davey was 'picture perfect' against Eddie Edwards in capturing the gold at Best in the World. Will he be able to duplicate that again? How hungry is Roderick Strong to get back the title he held for 160 days? Those are the questions, but what I think Roddy will find is that this is a different Davey Richards...and a better Davey Richards."
His reaction to Jay Lethal officially signing with Ring of Honor & a personal message to Eric Bischoff for making this possible for ROH: "When you're a company like Ring of Honor, you have build with depth, and you have to build with youth. To me, there is no other available wrestler out there who adds much-needed depth & youthful experience than Jay Lethal. The last time he competed in Ring of Honor, he was a 21-year-old kid. Now, he's a 26-year-old man. What a great opportunity this is. I'll tell you what: I continue to thank your frequent guest on this program, Eric Bischoff. When he was in WCW, we (the WWE) thanked him for Chris Jericho, we thanked him for The Radicalz. Now that he's in TNA, we (Ring of Honor) thank him for Jay Lethal. It's like Christmas come early. Thank you Eric Bischoff for your benevolence."
What he believes fans can expect when watching ROH on the Sinclair Broadcast Group beginning on 9.24.11: "I think everything that made Ring of Honor great, Nothing's going to change. The things that needed improvement, maybe just some cosmetic things, will look a little bit better. Everything's got a fresh coat of paint of it and spruced up for television. That's really all that's different. I think the TV show is going to be a great vehicle to introduce fans to Ring of Honor, but at the same time, provide a level of comfort to the existing fans, because everything is going to continue from where it left off. Storylines, the build to different matches, will continue. The champions are all the same. Their key rivals are all the same."
More is contained in Kevin's return to The Monday Night Mayhem Radio Network, including his candid thoughts & comments on just how important the next month is for Ring of Honor, the reach that ROH will now have with its television on the Sinclair Broadcast Group, the cloud that hangs over the forthcoming Ring of Honor World Tag Team Title Match between Wrestling's Greatest Tag Team vs. The Kings of Wrestling (amidst speculation of this being the final ROH match for Chris Hero & Claudo Castagnoli prior to departing for the WWE), the justice that television can do for the heated feud between The Briscoes & The All Night Express, plus a complete, in-depth preview of Ring of Honor's return to Chicago!

New Ring of Honor COO Joe Koff was one of the featured guests on this week's live edition of the award-winning Monday Night Mayhem. You can feel The Mayhem live every Monday evening (at 7PM ET/6PM CT), exclusively on The Monday Night Mayhem Radio Network (www.MondayNightMayhem.com, www.AudioWrestling.com, www.Geekweek.com, www.Hybrident.tv, & www.iTunes.com).

Joe joined The Big Mosh & "The Chairman of the Board" Todd Vincent for his exclusive interview with The Monday Night Mayhem Radio Network (to discuss Ring of Honor's first set of TV tapings for the Sinclair Broadcast Group & ROH's return to television on September 24th), which is now available in Windows Streaming Media or via the official MNM Podcast on iTunes:

Interview highlights courtesy of Paterson, MNM's associate producer & official correspondent:
The significance of exposing Ring of Honor on television via the Sinclair Broadcast Group: "I think we're at a very exciting point. We are going to be doing our television in Chicago, and on September 24th, we are going to be exposing the product the way this product should be exposed...to a much broader audience using over-the-air television. We are very excited to present that on the Sinclair Group platform."
What changes he sees for Ring of Honor & why he believes the ROH product is "going to change for the better": "I think everyone's always a little bit nervous, because I think everyone in ROH (between the talent & the fans) always wanted to have a company behind it with distribution & a little bit of money. But, at the same time, it scares them. It scares them because the reality of bringing this promotion to the next level is upon us, and it's really the only thing Ring of Honor was lacking. If anything changes, it's going to change for the better. When we looked at Ring of Honor as a wrestling product, as a promotion, I was just so amazed at the brand, and the power of the brand, & the intelligence of our fans. The wrestlers, the fans, the whole arena, & environment becomes one, and it gives me chills just thinking about it."
His feelings on Ring of Honor's current roster & whether or not he is interested in signing/acquiring any free agents at this time: "Is all talent welcome to apply? I think in this business, it's always been that way. Is all talent ready to be at the ROH level? That's something is to be determined by Jim (Cornette) & his people. There's tons of people out there, but the ROH talent we have are a stable of wrestlers that are very special to me. They are on their way up. They are making their name. They are making their move. It's their work which is going to bring in the fans."
The message he wishes to send to his competitors in the world of professional wrestling: "I'm not worried about them. They're doing their job. They're doing their business. They have made their plans, their productions, and they do what they do. Whether they think we're serious or not, I'm going to tell you something: 35 television stations to launch a wrestling show is pretty damn serious. If they don't want to acknowledge us, I would actually prefer it that way."
Much more is contained in Joe Koff's exclusive interview with The Monday Night Mayhem Radio Network, including his candid thoughts on what he believes Ring of Honor fans will be able to see from the Sinclair Broadcast Group's investment into the ROH product, the biggest thing he has learned since becoming the new COO of Ring of Honor, his roots in the world of professional wrestling, plus much more!
