RING OF HONOR NEWSWIRE FOR JANUARY 7, 2009

  • Press Release

……

January 7th:  A huge match up has been signed for January 16 in Manassas.  Bryan Danielson is fresh off of slaying the mighty Morishima, and now he’s going to face an entirely different type of competitor.  The master of manipulation, AOTF leader Jimmy Jacobs has signed to face Dragon.  Jimmy’s recent acts against Tyler Black have left many in ROH questioning where his head is at, and now we have to wonder why he’d challenge the “best in the world”.  One thing is for certain, Manassas is in for one hell of a match.


January 7th:  As soon as it was reported that the Necro Butcher had signed to compete in the Four Corner Survival in Edison on 1/17, the ROH Booking Committee received a phone call from Delirious.  Of course, no one could understand what he was really saying, but the implication was that he wanted into the match as well.  As we learned previously, he will face the Butcher in20a singles contest the night before in Manassas.  What kind of damage will be inflicted on these two with TWO matches in back-to-back days?


January 7th:  ROH Officials have been contemplating some sort of penalty for Larry Sweeney’s American Wolves for their brutal attack on Mark Briscoe.  Jay Briscoe immediately asked for a tag team match for Manassas on 1/16.  The match was granted, but we did not know who Jay would select as his tag team partner.  We’ve just learned that Jay Briscoe has asked a man all too familiar with Sweeney’s men.  Roderick Strong will team with Jay Briscoe to battle Davey Richards and Eddie Edwards!


January 7th:  Speaking of Richards and Edwards, their weekend doesn’t get any easier.  In Edison on 1/17 they’ll face a different kind of test.  Roderick Strong has gone to ROH Officials and asked that a grudge tag match be signed for January 17.  Only two weeks before Sweeney’s men face Strong, Albright, and Company in the cage, it’ll be Strong and Erick Stevens against the American Wolves.  But that ’s not all.  Roddy wants a “warm up” of sorts for Chicago.  “I want the Wolves to get a taste of what it will feel like to NOT be able to run.  To NOT be able to have your friends come and bail them out.  In Edison on the 17th, I want the Wolves in a Lumberjack Strap Match!  And believe it, only the STRONG will survive.”


January 7th:  Claudio Castagnoli certainly didn’t have much to say in a positive light in the most recent ROH Video Wire at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qJ6iYXi_iAY.  He’s been forthright in stating that 2009 will be his year, and he’ll start that quest in Detroit on January 30.  “I am very European.  I am Custom-made, the prototypical athlete.  I don’t drink nor smoke.  In Detroit, I begin the Year of Claudio.  Brent Albright, you will be my first conquest in 2009.”


January 7th:  Ring o f Honor officials are in the process of selecting the date and location for the "Seventh Anniversary Show".  All we know right now is that the event will be held in February or March.  We'll have the announcement at www.rohwrestling.com as soon as it becomes official.
