August 26th: Go Shiozaki defeated Erick Stevens last Saturday at FIP's event in Crystal River, FL to win the FIP World Heavyweight Title in an epic match of the year candidate. Shiozaki's agent Larry Sweeney has made some stern demands to ROH officials to have FIP Title defenses in ROH. We'll have more on this situation soon. This is Shiozaki's first major title victory of his career and received considerable coverage in Japan.
August 26th: Get ready New England!!! Ring Of Honor will tape its next PPV on 9/19 in Boston at the beautiful Boston University campus. We already know that Kevin Steen & El Generico will challenge for the ROH World Tag Team Titles. Now the World Title challenger has been determined. Based on his PPV Fight Without Honor victory and winning PPV singles record, Roderick Strong will challenge for the World Title on 9/19 in Boston!!! Strong has had opportunities in the past and no one has come closer to the title. Will 9/19 finally be Strong's night?
August 26th: Another main event quality bout has been signed for the PPV taping in Boston. It will be a Three Way Elimination Match pitting Bryan Danielson vs. Claudio Castagnoli vs. Go Shiozaki (the FIP Title will not be on the line). This could be the show stealer!!! Boston has demanded a big ROH event and we are bringing the goods on September 19th with a PPV taping. The best part is that you can see the PPV live and months before everyone else for only $10 if you act now at ROHwrestling.com.
August 26th: WWE World Heavyweight Champion CM Punk has not forgotten his roots. He main evented the WWE house show at Madison Square Garden last Saturday. ROH President Cary Silkin was there as a special guest. Punk made a point to go over and hug Silkin during his ring entrance. The two exchanged some kind words during that moment about their history together.
