  • Press Release

…….

December 2nd:  It appears that dangerous feudal lines may cross on 12/26 in Philadelphia!  The ROH World Tag Team Champions, Kevin Steen and El Generico, have requested to team up with the man they saved from a sure beat down in Toronto, The Necro Butcher!  Steen and Generico have made it known to ROH officials that they are chomping at the bit to get their hands on the Briscoe Brothers again, especially after the sheer disrespect that they dealt with after their “Rising Above” PPV encounter, while Necro is dying for another chance to exact revenge on the Age of the Fall.  These three men have requested a 6-man-grudge match!  We’re awaiting word from both the Briscoes and the AOTF on whether this six-man-battle will happen!

December 2nd:  Speaking of Necro, we now know what he’ll be doing in Nashville on 12/6.  Jimmy Jacobs and Tyler Black basically told Necro in the ROH Videowire www.youtube.com/watch?v=ArgX8V2BULk to “bring it on” and heE2s vehemently stated that he's going do just that.  One night after he teams with “Crazy” Ace Steel in suburban St. Louis to face Jacobs and Delirious, he will once again face the AOTF, this time in the form of former ROH World Tag Champs, Jacobs and Black!  And Necro has selected a partner that knows the AOTF all too well.  Fresh off his “I Quit” victory over Jacobs at “Rising Above”, Austin Aries will team with Necro in Nashville!  All four of these men have been entrenched in one battle of another over the past several weeks, and all bets are off on 12/6.  One thing to consider is that Aries is facing Tyler Black in a one-on-one match in St. Louis, so who knows how well Aries will fare this Saturday even with Necro at his side!

December 2nd:  ROH World Champion Nigel McGuinness and Claudio Castagnoli will oppose the team of Bryan Danielson and Jerry Lynn on 12/5 in St. Louis.  Now we’ve come to learn that McGuinness and Castagnoli have an open contract for a tag team match on 12/26 in Philly!  More on this as it develops.

December 2nd:  Alex Payne made his biggest impact in ROH during the epic McGuinness/Danielson championship classic at “Rising Above”.  “Sugarfoot” will return to singles action on the 12/6 Nashville main show!

December 2nd:  The ROH Booking Committee is bringing the Four-Corner-Survival back to New York City during “Final Battle” on 12/27.  The first entry into the fray is none other than Sweet-n-Sour’s “Young Knockout Kid” Chris Hero!  We’ll have more competitors as we get closer to 12/27!

December 2nd:  The movie "The Wrestler" in which Ring of Honor is featured opens December 17th in limited release.  The reviews so far have been excellent, especially the performance of star Mickey Rourke.  The movie is featured in the current issue of Rolling Stone magazine (pg. 101) with Britney Spears on the cover.  There was also a great article in the New York Times entertainment section this past weekend on the movie and Rourke.  You can read the article here:  http://www.nytimes.com/2008/11/30/magazine/30rourke-t.html.
December 2nd:  Due to the popularity of the Cyber Monday Sale we've extended it for an additional 24 hours.  You can still purchase 2004 ROH DVD's for only $8 each and save 40% off all tickets for upcoming live events.  The sale will now end on Wednesday at 9am EST.  For complete details click here:  http://www.rohwrestling.com/news/article.aspx?id=2435
