November 15th: Claudio Castagnoli has been petitioning for a rematch against Nigel McGuinness for the Pure Title. Castagnoli lost his first shot at the title on 11/4 with a really cheap ending as he was DQ'ed when the referee thought he used Nigel's iron. However, Nigel tossed Claudio the iron while the ref's back was turned and played dead so the ref thought he used it. We will have Commissioner Jim Cornette's ruling on this matter next week.
November 15th: While Ring Of Honor will just be a brief footnote in the career of Eddie Guerrero, this class individual played a major role in the early days of ROH. Eddie Guerrero was one of the first men booked in ROH history. He was the perfect name for ROH to feature on its first show. He drew attention to ROH, he epitomized the style ROH wanted to showcase and he was a major influence on everyone that stepped in the ROH ring.
Ring Of Honor was fortunate to have Eddie Guerrero vs. Super Crazy as half of the double main event on its very first show.
Shortly after that first show, Guerrero re-signed with WWE and quickly won the Intercontinental Title. However, Guerrero had already agreed to be on ROH's third show, "A Night Of Appreciation," on
The show came at a time when Eddie was at the end of successfully overcoming some personal problems. ROH officials decided to use this event to honor Eddie for what he had given us and what he had overcome in his life. The entire ROH locker room wanted to show their appreciation and respect for his influence in the ring and honorable character outside the squared circle. Guerrero teamed with Amazing Red to defeat The SAT on that special event. He gave a speech after the match saying how much the
Guerrero was the perfect name and athlete to kick start ROH's early success. It was on the back of Eddie Guerrero that ROH sold out its first show and drew the attention of the wrestling community. It was Eddie's passion and skill that pioneered the style you see today in ROH.
ROH will dedicate this Saturday's show to Eddie Guerrero. This isn't a ploy to sell tickets. The show will open with the locker room in the ring for a ten bell salute to Eddie Guerrero and after that it will be a regular ROH show. You aren't any less of an Eddie Guerrero fan if you don't attend. This is just our thank you to him and our way of showing respect to this great man and incredible wrestler. Eddie Guerrero has influenced us all. Eddie Guerrero will never be forgotten.
