February 5th: Newly signed, six man tag team action comes to Orlando on Saturday. The Dark City Fight Club will team with frequent Florida cohort, Francisco Ciatso, to take on the team of Roderick Strong, Brent Albright, and Erick Stevens. ROH fans know exactly what Strong, Stevens, and Albright bring to the table, especially after their bloody victory at “Cage Collision”. Just what do the DCFC and Ciatso have in store for this trio? On Saturday in Orlando we’ll find out!

February 5th: Bryan Danielson informed ROH officials that he’s not 100% going into “Proving Ground ‘09” weekend, but he’s prepared to “give it everything he’s got”. As we touched on earlier in the week, Danielson suffered a concussion at the hands of Bison Smith in Chicago. “I’ve been around Bison quite a bit,” said Dragon. “Been around him in Japan and elsewhere, and never before have I seen him act this way. Something happened to Bison, and somewhere along the line he decided it was okay to try to maim me. Look at that man, I’m lucky to have escaped serious injury. But rest assured, I’m far from done with Bison. In fact, I intend to make it right.”

February 5th: Get ready Philadelphia! We’re a few short weeks away from the very first Ring of Honor National Television Tapings, coming to the Arena in South Philly on February 28 and March 1. HDNet and ROH aim to bring the newest and best wrestling program to US airwaves, and everyone at HDNet and ROH are excited to be working together to present this to the fans. Already signed for the tapings are Tyler Black, Kevin Steen, Chris Hero, Austin Aries, Jerry Lynn, and Jimmy Jacobs, with many more Stars of Ring of Honor to be announced as we move forward. One of the more unique aspects of presenting these tapings is wonderful opportunity to expose the great competitors of ROH to a brand new audience – one that we concede may not be familiar with the personality and style that ROH is known for. With that in mind, ROH Officials are looking at the initial tapings as a way to bring our new audience “up to speed”. On February 28 and March 1, fans will see a sort of a “Ring of Honor 101” up close and personal as we introduce our wrestlers, their personalities, and their skill in competitive matches that may not otherwise be seen on “normal” Ring of Honor live events. There is no telling what matchups we could see during the weekend, but rest assured, whoever locks up with each other will be doing so with an entirely new agenda – to say to the television world – Welcome to what professional wrestling is supposed to be. WELCOME to RING OF HONOR. We hope to see you all on 2/28 and 3/1 in South Philly!
