- Press Release
…..
March 4th: Jimmy Jacobs has more reason to destroy Tyler Black after falling to him in the first TV main event at the inaugural ROH on HDNet Television Tapings last weekend. After the TV cameras stopped rolling, Brodie Lee and Delirious attacked Black at Jacobs’ behest and left him lying. Now Tyler will go for another measure of revenge in St. Louis as he teams with Jerry Lynn! Black and Lynn earned each other’s respect when they battled to a draw in Detroit, and Jerry’s no stranger to battling with the AOTF as he faced Brodie Lee at the TV tapings. It's Lynn and Black versus the Age of the Fall in St. Louis!
March 4th: “Nature Boy” Ric Flair apparently has words for ROH World Champion Nigel McGuinness in the upcoming ROH Videowire. ROH officials received word from Flair’s camp that the legend has his eye on McGuinness after reviewing some recent ROH footage to familiarize himself with the company. We’re led to believe that the “Nature Boy” has been critical of the recent tactics McGuinness has used to secure victory.
March 4th: “American Dragon” Bryan Danielson acted quickly once he learned that Bison Smith was not going to agree to face him on back-to-back nights in St. Louis and Indianapolis. For the card on March 14th in Indianapolis, he requested, and has been added to the match between Claudio Castagnoli and Kenny Omega; making th is a 3 Way Dance. Danielson faced and defeated Omega once before as part of a 3 Way Dance in ROH’s last appearance in Toronto, so he’s familiar with Omega’s style, while the history between Dragon and Claudio has been well documented. Claudio has been on a roll as of late; will he defeat two men that have given him problems in the past?
March 4th: Speaking of Bryan Danielson, he has signed to face “Lightning” Mike Quackenbush in singles competition when ROH comes to suburban Pittsburgh on March 20th! A victory over Danielson would go a long way toward building huge momentum for the returning Quackenbush!
March 4th: “Dirty” Ernie Osiris allegedly stole Grizzly Redwood’s red lumberjack hat after dropping a fall to him in Danbury last weekend. Osiris reportedly has been trying to sell the hat on various internet marketplaces. If you have any information that will lead to the recovery of Redwood’s hat, please email [email protected]. Thank you.
March 4th: Jimmy Jacobs has requested a meeting with the ROH Booking Committee to discuss the "7th Anniversary Show" on March 21st at the Hammerstein Ballroom in midtown Manhattan. We have it on good authority that he has an idea in mind to send some sort of a message to Tyler Black in the very building where he and Austin Aries did the unthinkable and bloodied Tyler in front of the New York faithful. We’ll have more on this in the next newswire!
March 4th: ROH officials are happy to announce that Alex Koslov from the AAA roster has been added to the jam packed Houston doubleshot on April 3rd and 4th! Koslov has shined in AAA over the past 2 years, and has been part of the “Degeneration Mex” faction with Sean Waltman and former ROH star, Rocky “Azucar” Romero. ROH officials are excited about what Koslov brings to the table and welcome him from south of the border along with impressive lucha freelancers Magno, Incognito, and Blue Demon, Jr.! We’ll have the first of the match announcements for Houston next week, right here in the Newswire!
March 4th: New classes at the ROH Wrestling Academy are starting this week. It's not too late to join. For more information click here: http://www.rohwrestling.com/wrestlingschool/
