RING OF HONOR NEWSWIRE FOR MAY 26, 2009

- Press Release
…….
May 26th: As announced this morning in the main page article http://www.rohwrestling.com/news/article.aspx?id=2815, the American Wolves will face Kevin Steen and El Generico in a submissions match on June 13th in New York! Kevin Steen has been rabid at the thought of using tables, chairs, ladders, basically anything to defeat – to DESTROY – the Wolves, but Richards and Edwards see it differently. “WE call the shots,” said Edwards. “We wear the gold. So Steen can cry about whatever he wants, it’s our way or no way.” Judging their comments in the article, it seems obvious that the Wolves feel they can exploit Generico’s injured knee and use the weakness to gain a sure victory. Steen and Generico are fighting uphill in this match for sure. Can the underdog overcome the odds? Can Generico protect that injured knee against bloodthirsty Wolves?
May 26th: Signed for June 26th in Detroit is a very important match for former ROH World Champion Nigel McGuinness. In Houston, he was scheduled to tag with Claudio Castagnoli to battle Brent Albright and Blue Demon, Jr. But Nigel’s health prevented him from participating in that match, and Castagnoli was none too happy. Claudio took to attacking Nigel from behind, adding20insult to his already apparent injury. Now Claudio will have to look Nigel in the eye and answer for his actions.
May 26th: Take No Prisoners 2009 is coming to Pay-Per-View! Also announced on the main page (http://www.rohwrestling.com/news/article.aspx?id=2812), the latest Ring of Honor Pay-Per-View broadcast coming from Houston, Texas will begin airing on June 12th on InDemand, Direct TV, DISH Network, & TVN in the United States and in Canada on Bell Express Vu & Viewer’s Choice Canada.
May 26th: Signed for July 25th in Toronto is a grudge match that has brewed since “Northern Navigation”. Chris Hero versus Lance Storm. Need we say anything more? We’ll have Storm’s opponent for the event on July 24th soon here in the Newswire.
May 26th: Last week in the Newswire, Prince Nana stated that he and the Embassy would “take care of Boo Boo Cabana in due time”. T hat due time is apparently June 27th in Chicago. Over the weekend, Nana contacted ROH officials and he has challenged Cabana to face the Embassy in a Street Fight! Representing the Embassy will be Joey Ryan and Bison Smith, with their associate, Claudio Castagnoli. “You tell that Cabana that his time of shenanigans is over. He put the Crown Jewel in harm’s way of that filthy Necro Butcher in New York, now he will pay for his mistake.” As of press time, Cabana hadn’t selected his partners, but once he does we’ll announce them right here in the Newswire.
May 26th: A huge thank you from everyone at ROH for getting the amount of Twitter followers over 2,000! Not a follower yet, go on over to www.twitter.com/rohonhdnet , and get up to speed!
May 26th: The Buy 3, Get 2 Free Ring of Honor DVD Sale has been extended until Thursday at noon at ROHWrestling.com. This sale will also be in effect at both live events this weekend in Philadelphia. For complete details click here: http://www.rohwrestling.com/n ews/article.aspx?id=2811.
May 26th: Ring of Honor is happy to announce that the ROH World Title match on June 13th between Jerry Lynn and Austin Aries will have two special guests in the ringside area. Former ROH World Champion Nigel McGuinness has requested that President Cary Silkin allow him to sit ringside and watch the match. This will be the first defense by Jerry Lynn since Houston that Nigel will see, and he reportedly “wants the best seat in the house to watch the man that dethroned him”. Silkin hesitated in granting the request, not knowing what intentions McGuinness may have, and consuted Ambassador Ric Flair on the matter. As a result of those conversations, ROH President Cary Silkin has appointed Ambassador “Nature Boy” Ric Flair as the special guest referee for the contest. Flair and McGuinness had some choice words for each other back at “Stylin’ and Profilin’”, and Silkin feels confident that Flair can neutralize anything that Nigel may have up his sleeve.
