RING OF HONOR NEWSWIRE FOR JANUARY 8, 2009

  • Press Release

…..

January 8th:  We're just over one week away from the debut of RISING ABOVE on pay per view starting Friday, January 16th.  In case you missed the news several weeks back, this event will be available to DIRECT TV subscribers for the first time.  Other cable operators carrying this event include iN Demand, The Dish Network, & TVN cable systems in the United States.  Viewer's Choice and Bell ExpressVu will be carrying the event in Canada.  For more details on this PPV event click here:  http://www.rohwrestling.com/news/article.aspx?id=2508. 
January 8th:  The first teaser from the RISING ABOVE pay per view with clips from Nigel McGuinness vs. Bryan Danielson can be viewed here:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NhHnDD7DAkI.

January 8th:  Jerry Lynn sat down for a compelling interview in the last ROH Video Wire at http:/ /www.youtube.com/watch?v=qJ6iYXi_iAY.   He talked about a variety of subjects, including losing his confidence, and his love for the wrestling industry.  Now on January 16 in Manassas, Lynn will take to the squared circle once more, this time against a man that has many questions to answer.  Austin Aries has been eerily silent since Final Battle, and has yet to shed any light on his attack of Tyler Black, speculation of an alliance with arch nemesis, Jimmy Jacobs, or anything else.  Now we’ve come to find that he’s signed to face Lynn, who’s on a quest of his own.  Will we get any closer to clarity on 1/16?

January 8th:  Ring of Honor officials are still receiving no cooperation from Austin Aries when it comes to the World Title Match that he earned by virtue of his win over Tyler Black at Final Battle.  The Booking Committee has been trying to secure the championship match for the fans in Edison on January 17.  We hope to have an update on this as soon as possible, as neither the ROH Office nor Nigel McGuinness has any clue what Aries is doing.

January 8th:  “Sugarfoot” Alex Payne and Silas Young have earned another chance at ROH Pay-Per-View based on their showing at “Rising Above”.  On January 31 in Chicago, they’ll face each other in singles competition. 

January 8th:  Ring of Honor will return to Detroit, MI on Friday, January 30th for "Motor City Madness 2009".  Claudio Castagnoli vs. Brent Albright in a "Special Challenge Match" was made official yesterday. Kevin Steen and El Generico have just found out who they’ll defend the World Tag Team Titles against, and they couldn’t be happier.  Stemming off of the attempt to take out Steen’s knee much like they did Mark Briscoe's, Larry Sweeney’s American Wolves have signed the dotted line, and you can bet the fight will be on.  “They tried like hell to take me out”, said Steen.  “And they got a lot closer than I care to admit.  In Detroit on the 30th, Generico and I are coming for our receipt.”
