August 31st: Here is a clarification of the rules for the AJ Styles vs. Jimmy Rave match at "Glory By Honor IV" on 9/17 in Long Island. The only way to win the match is to hit the Styles/Rave Clash on your opponent. There are no pinfalls or submissions in this match. This makes things very dangerous because someone can apply a submission hold to their opponent and even if they tap and break a bone or suffer some kind of injury the match will continue. There are no rules in this match. It is Anything Goes. The Styles/Rave clash can happen anywhere in the building. The loser of the match will never be able to use the move in ROH again. If they do use the move they are at risk of getting heavily fined and/or fired. Mick Foley will be in Styles' corner to make sure The Embassy does not play the numbers game. There is no telling what will happen when "The Hardcore Legend" Mick Foley is in an anything goes atmosphere. Prince Nana has already stated that Jade Chung will be sent to Ghana as he wants to keep her away from Foley after what happened on 8/20. The Styles vs. Rave feud will be settled in a match 14 months in the making!!!

August 31st: ROH officials had several conference calls in the past few days with upcomers like Jerrelle Clark, Sal Rinauro, Adam Pearce and Claudio Castagnoli. They were told that this is their time to make their spot in ROH. Things are going to be very competitive for spots in ROH as the above mentioned competitors, Matt Sydal, students from the ROH Wrestling School like Davey Andrews and others will be given opportunities to earn full time spots. This means that some guys might be cut from the roster especially when you consider that ROH is in talks for some talents to return like Tony Mamaluke among others and new talents to come in like Jimmy Yang. It is this competition that brings the "No Limits" attitude to ROH as everyone knows that they can't have an off night and that they must always perform at the top of their game. This fall is going to be more intense than ever!!!
