“The Big Bang!” has come and gone, but you can still see it as it unfolded in Charlotte! Witness one of the best wrestling Pay-Per-View events of 2010 for yourself as presented LIVE by ROH and GoFightLive. Kevin Kelly and Dave Prazak call the action, with the shocking return to ROH of Christopher Daniels, and two must-see championship matches. Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer noted, “the singles title match was in the ****½ range, and the tag title match wasn’t far behind”. See for yourself at http://gofightlive.tv/showEvent.do?eventId=625!!- As announced earlier this week (http://www.rohwrestling.com/news/poisonpicked/), the war between Kevin Steen and El Generico took an unexpected turn that has resulted in two huge matchups when ROH returns to Dayton, Ohio on April 23rd. Steen and Corino threatened to pull out of the “Come-As-You-Are” Street Fight against Generico and Colt Cabana in Chicago on April 24th unless they were given the right to choose an opponent for Generico in Dayton. After reluctantly agreeing, Generico was signed to face Roderick Strong on 4/23. But Jim Cornette was unsatisfied with how that went down, and allowed Generico to choose opponents for Steen and Corino. Generico’s choice: The Briscoes! Fans of Dayton get ready, because poison has been picked and there’s no telling who will walk out of Dayton in better shape!

- Steve Corino and Kevin Steen have been out of their minds with fury since hearing Cornette’s decision and Generico’s choice for their opponents in Dayton. “Now Hell is coming to Chicago,” said Kevin Steen, “coming in the form of Corino and Steen. HE will PAY with blood.”
- Tag Team action has been signed for April 23rd in Dayton as Davey Richards and World Television Champion Eddie Edwards look for payback. On Episode 209 of ROH on HDNet (aired on 3/1/10), the Dark City Fight Club scored a mild upset and defeated the former World Tag Team Champions. “We have a score to settle,” said Edwards. “The tag team division in ROH starts and stops here. And we plan on getting that win back.” It’s the American Wolves versus the Dark City Fight Club in Dayton! Can the Wolves get even with the DCFC, or will the badasses from Dark City score another ‘W’?
- All Star Championship Belts, the creators of the brand new ROH championships, are now taking orders for recreations of the new title belts. Visit their website at www.ascb.us or contact them at [email protected] for all the details!
- The Briscoes may have a battle on their hands in Dayton on 4/23, but in Chicago on 4/24 the road isn’t any easier. The former six-time World Tag Team Champions haven’t backed off their claims that Chris Hero and Claudio Castagnoli STOLE with titles at “The Big Bang!”. But they’re not going to sit back and do nothing about it. “What can we say,” said Mark Briscoe. “We got robbed, but we get a rematch. And we know it’ll be hard because the Kings are [expletives], and they’ll hide. But we already back on that horse, tag team wrestling is the Briscoes and the Briscoes are tag team wrestling. So bring on anyone, we MAN UP.” The brothers from Sandy Fork are doing just that as they have signed to face the duo of Kenny King and Austin Aries in the Windy City! Tag Team Excellence returns to Chi-Town on the 24th! Be there and see it LIVE! Good seats remain at http://www.rohwrestling.com/store.php?sec=prod&prod=296
- Claudio Castagnoli may not be appearing in Dayton, OH on April 23rd, but “That Young Knockout Kid” Chris Hero will be. The newly crowned Tag Team Champion has signed for Pick 6 singles action against “Maple Leaf Muscle” Petey Williams! Not only will Hero have to contend with Williams, but he will, without question, be looking over each shoulder for a glimpse of the Briscoes. Can the “Canadian Destroyer” use that to his advantage to get into the Pick 6 in Dayton?
- Signed to appear when ROH returns to Manassas, VA on May 7th and New York, NY on May 8th: ROH World Champion Tyler Black, ROH World Tag Team Champions Chris Hero and Claudio Castagnoli – the Kings of Wrestling, Austin Aries, Roderick Strong, Colt Cabana, Kenny King, and Delirious with Daizee Haze. Don’t forget that “Fallen Angel” Christopher Daniels makes his in-ring ROH return on both of those big events, and the Motor City Machine Guns will appear in NYC along with the already signed women’s dream match pitting Sara del Rey against Amazing Kong! You don’t want to miss these events!
