ROH

October 23rd: WLW, Pro Wrestling NOAH and Ring Of Honor are bringing NOAH stars KENTA and Naomichi Marufuji to "Final Battle 2005" in Edison, NJ on December 17th. They will be against top opponents that night. ROHwrestling.com will have an announcement of their opponents in the upcoming weeks. You can get tickets now at ROHwrestling.com, by calling 215-781-2500 and at Ticketmaster outlets. This is going to be a historic night!!!

October 23rd: Roderick Strong has increased his training schedule to be in top shape for this Saturday's World Title match vs. Bryan Danielson in Woodbridge, CT at the CT Sports Center. The building is located within driving distance of Hartford, Stamford and Danbury. It is just five minutes from New Haven. Strong vs. Danielson has all the makings of a classic especially if you saw their first match in FIP on the new "With Malice" DVD now available at ROHwrestling.com. Strong has a tidal wave of momentum behind him with recent victories over Matt Hardy, Jimmy Rave, James Gibson as well as Generation Next teammate Austin Aries to capture "Survival Of The Fittest 2005." Can Danielson withstand Strong's backbreaking offense?

October 23rd: A Four Corner Survival has been added to this Saturday's event in Woodbridge, CT. It will pit ROH Pure Champion Nigel McGuinness vs. BJ Whitmer vs. Nosawa vs. the man formerly known Ebessan!!!

October 23rd: New England wrestlers Jason Blade & Kid Mikaze will make their debut as a tag team this Saturday outside of New Haven when they take on Azrieal & Davey Andrews. Blade & Mikaze could be the next talents to become stars in ROH!!!

October 23rd: The preshow this Saturday will feature tournament matches with the students from the ROH Wrestling School to determine who wins the first "Top Of The Class" trophy. The finals of the tournament will be on the preshow on 11/19 in Long Island. The preshow begins at about 6:50pm. Davey Andrews has been given a bye and is already in the finals. All graduates from the ROH Wrestling School are eligible for the tournament. The next class is about to begin. There are tryouts on October 30th and you can email ROHhelp@aol.com for more info.

October 23rd: Straight Shootin' With Percy Pringle is now out on DVD and ready for immediate delivery at ROHwrestling.com. This is one of the most open shoot interviews you'll ever see as Pringle reveals inside info about World Class, The Von Erichs, The Freebirds and much, much more including some great road stories. This shoot is entertaining and educational as Pringle discusses his almost 15 year career working the territories before going to WWE as Paul Bearer.

October 23rd: We always say that Ring Of Honor is all about bringing in the top, upcoming talent and letting them make themselves stars. It is a place where talent will rise to the top. This is not just true for the in ring action, but in the broadcast booth. ROH has officially made some moves in the broadcast booth. Jimmy Bower has been demoted to office lackey. If you don't show improvement or have the talent to rise to the top, you will be dropped and Bower is an example of this. ROH now features two of the top upcoming announcers today in Dave Prazak and Lenny Leonard. Both these broadcasters have made the most of their opportunities in ROH and have earned full time jobs. Bower will make rare appearances to make it a three man team when absolutely necessary.

October 23rd: More matches are coming for Detroit on 11/4 and Chicago on 11/5 tomorrow right here in the ROHwrestling.com Newswire.

They have a better chance of doing it than TNA does, that's for sure.

More buzz. More hype. Simply a better product in every respect.

If I were WWE, I'd certainly be keeping an eye on ROH.

If you were WWE Talent Relations, who would you try and lure in from ROH at the moment?


Not sure.

Mostly because the styles are so drastically different.

How appealing would it be to those ROH guys to go to the WWE's style and format?

I don't think it would appeal to most of those guys.

Obviously, WWE would covet any of the top ROH talent and names that ROH uses as their top draws.

Look at the names you keep seeing repeated time and again that are draws. That's who the WWE would probably covet and target.

I'm not to sure about this, but what kind of money and lifestyle do these guys live? Are they on the road for 360 days out of the year like pro wrestlers are? Is the money comparable?

I think the answers to those questions would probably also weigh heavily into whether or not you'd ever see ROH guys go to pro wrestling.

Personally, I feel that Colt Cabana could have a lot of good matches in WWE.

Colt Cabana vs Carlito, anyone?

April 16th: Last night's CZW show featured a wild brawl that some are calling one of the greatest matches in CZW history as BJ Whitmer & Kevin Steen took on Necro Butcher & Super Dragon. Things are bound to get even more wild and violent this Saturday at the National Guard Armory, which is just 20 minutes up I-95 from the former ECW Arena, when Whitmer teams with Samoa Joe & Adam Pearce to take on the CZW team of Chris Hero, Necro Butcher & Super Dragon. There will be no rules in this one. There will also be two refs, one from each ROH and CZW, to insure the fall is counted fairly.

April 16th: We will be back tomorrow with matches for 5/12 in Long Island including more details on Bryan Danielson's challenge to NWA World Champion Christian Cage for a dream partner tag team match.

April 17th: Colt Cabana has been studying the European style of wrestling in preparation for his World Title Match this Saturday in Philadelphia against Bryan Danielson. Cabana hasn't been able to showcase his wrestling roots in recent months due to his violent feud against Homicide. Cabana, who is already an expert in the European style, has been searching for any trick that can get him the three count and the World Title. Cabana has proven to be very skilled at roll-ups and it only takes three seconds for the World Title to switch hands. This looks to be a wrestling clinic.

An upset here could put the exciting high-flyer fulltime on the ROH roster. Rave is looking to solidify a spot in the Top 5 with a win here. This could be the show stealer!!!

April 17th: The Ohio "Weekend Of Champions" double shot will be a big test for the upcoming team of Jake & Dave Crist, known collectively as Irish Airborne. The duo made a big impression on 3/11 by upsetting former ROH Tag Team Champions Tony Mamaluke & Sal Rinauro.

If Irish Airborne get past these tests they will be forces in the tag team scene.

April 17th: ROH officials are very excited that Davey Richards is starting with the company this Saturday in Philadelphia. Richards will be in a match that will really showcase his skills on April 22nd. This will be many ROH fans first time seeing Richards and you better believe he is coming to impress.

April 18th: The ROH fans are talking about bringing red and black streamers for the home team this Saturday in Philadelphia. Will the CZW fans respond with yellow and black streamers? Will the CZW fans show up to support their team? Will CZW be embarrassed by an empty side of bleachers? The ROH staff will do everything possible to make all the CZW fans feel at home. CZW will have its own set of bleachers close to the ring. Every seat is a good one in the National Guard Armory. The building is located just 20 minutes up I-95 from the former ECW Arena with plenty of parking. Be there this Saturday and see John Zandig get murdered in a debate vs. legendary manager Jim Cornette and Team ROH of Samoa Joe, BJ Whitmer & Adam Pearce battle Team CZW of Chris Hero, Necro Butcher & Super Dragon. This is sure to be a very unique atmosphere and one that people will be talking about for years. This is one event that you will truly need to experience live. It will be a great moment in ROH history when we defeat the CZW team and end the 100th ever event and Milestone Series with a huge celebration!!!

April 18th: The 100th event this Saturday will be the most meaningful of the ROH Milestone Shows. It is with your support that we have made it here and hope to promote into the thousands.

April 18th: We've put a lot of focus on the CZW vs. ROH war this Saturday in Philly, but don't overlook all the great ROH style WRESTLING bouts that could all be match of the night. One of those contests is Christopher Daniels vs. Claudio Castagnoli. This is a first time match that sees two athletes with complimentary styles. This is what the sport of pro wrestling is all about. Daniels is looking at this match as preparation for his Pure Title match on 4/28 in Dayton against Nigel McGuinness. Daniels is really looking to fine tune his pure wrestling skills against Claudio so he will be 100% ready for McGuinness. Daniels believes he is on the road to becoming the Pure Champion.

April 18th: If you've watched the new ROH Video Recap #4 now at ROHvideos.com you saw Lacey's revealing promo. Lacey said she would reveal much more at ROHvideos.com if Jimmy Jacobs is able to pull out a victory on Saturday. Lacey believes this will give Jacobs the incentive to do whatever it takes to win the Four Corner Survival pitting Jacobs vs. Jimmy Rave vs. Jimmy Yang vs. Delirious. This could be the show stealer. Can Delirious get a win streak going? What will happen when Rave and Yang cross paths? Can Jacobs get Lacey to take her shirt off (and if you've seen the video you know what we are talking about)?

April 18th: Don't forget to keep checking the Weekly Specials section of ROHwrestling.com for great items with huge savings.

April 21st: Tomorrow (Saturday) is the end of The Milestone Series as ROH presents its 100th ever show. This will be a truly special night for ROH as we have our largest advance ever for a Philadelphia event. This will really be a show that needs to be experienced live. We are really proud of our 100 shows and will put them up against any 100 consecutive shows that any company has ever promoted. We want to thank you for getting us to this milestone. It is only with your support that we are able to make it to show #100 and keep improving the product. Thank you!!! The event will be at the Pennsylvania National Guard Armory on 2700 Southampton Rd in Philadelphia, PA with a zip code of 19154. There will be tickets available at the door and belltime is 7:30pm. The preshow will begin around 6:45. We hope you will join us for a memorable show tomorrow night.

April 21st: ROH World Champion Bryan Danielson has been upset all week that he has to wrestle in front of CZW fans on Saturday in the CZW bleachers. Danielson was the first ROH wrestler to crash a CZW show back on 1/14 and he quickly earned the disdain of the CZW fans. Danielson doesn't believe that the CZW fans deserve to see him wrestle. The crowd will definitely be against Danielson on Saturday as he defends the World Title against Colt Cabana, who is a favorite among ROH fans. This World Title match will have an intense atmosphere and it could propel Cabana to victory and the ROH World Title.

April 21st: If you watched ROH Video Recap #4 (now available for free at ROHvideos.com) you saw the message Ricky Reyes sent Austin Aries at the ROH Wrestling School and Aries' response. The Tag Title Match tomorrow pitting Aries & Roderick Strong vs. Reyes & Homicide is personal for Aries and Reyes. This one has the makings of another great Tag Title defense for Aries and Strong. Is Reyes one Dragon Sleeper away from becoming a Tag Champion again? Will Homicide finally win a title in ROH? Can Aries & Strong solidify their spot as the greatest ROH Tag Team Champions ever with another victory?

April 21st: Check ROHwrestling.com later today for a merchandise update featuring the DVD of 3/11 "Arena Warfare" with the ending that everyone will be talking about.

We will have this DVD on sale at tomorrow's show and it will start shipping Monday from ROHwrestling.com.

April 21st: The 3/31 "Supercard Of Honor" double DVD is completed and set to go into replication.

May 9th: We have not heard anything from Homicide or his camp about Jim Cornette's plea in ROH Video Recap #6 now at ROHvideos.com. Cornette's message must be seen as he tries to appeal to Homicide and get him to join ROH's side in the war against CZW.

McGuiness claims he should be entitled to choose a partner and go after the Tag Titles since he has defeated both Aries & Strong in singles matches. ROH will have a ruling on this next week if Aries & Strong are still champions.

May 9th: ROH Commissioner Jim Cornette wants to squash any rumors before they start. Cornette sent this message along: "I have verbally agreed to a limited number of TNA dates.

Damn I really need to get cookin' with that review sometime... Too bad I've nearly forgotten that show by this point...


In some WTF worthy news.......


--------


ROH wrestler Colt Cabana was invovled in a car accident on Friday night after ROH's event in Dayton, Ohio. He was driving with Dave Prazak and Adam Pearce when he lost control of his car in the rain. Everyone in the car was wearing a seatbelt, which helped prevent serious injuries to all parties involved. Pearce and Cabana were both able to compete in their matches on Saturday in Chicago Ridge, Ill. Cabana ended up having to have to have his left pinky toe amputated as a result of the accident.

Cabana wrote the following regarding the accident on his myspace BLOG:

"I was driving back to Chicago with Adam Pearce and Dave Prazak after the ROH Dayton show. Although some people consider Adam a "rulebreaker" in ROH, I have zero beef with him when it comes to ROH. My focus WAS completely on tagging with Jimmy and now is on making him pay...but that's a whole different story.

"It had been raining all weekend. We hit a wet patch and all I can say is the car started hydroplaning. I was driving my car. I tried to turn the wheel back but by this time it had gone out of control. Luckily everyone had their seatbelt on. The car did a bunch of rotations sideways, no flipping. We crashed into the median 4 or 5 times. Luckily, no cars hit us from behind or were involved in an accident.

"The car was wrecked and we're taken to the hospital. I, like an idiot always drive with no shoes, actually mashed my small left pinky toe. The doctor thought it would be best to amputate, so I only have 9 toes now. Sillyness, I know. Adam, Dave and I were all treated for back and neck pains.

"We all came to Chicago the next day in a rental through my insurance. We all hurt, but we're all in the business we love the most. And not a car accident or anything would stop me from wrestling for ROH in Chicago.

"Last I talked to the other guys, they were seeking medical treatment from thier personal doctors, so I can't speak much for them. For me, I'm sore and toeless, but I have my life, which is most important.

"There's been a lot of deep-thinking since that happened. At the end of the day, I'm a pro wrestler. I do and I've done what I love. Each day forward is another day to do something special. I'll see ya'll at the matches...keep supporting pro wrestling."

PWInsider.com has pulled a story posted earlier today regarding injuries suffered by Colt Cabana in a car accident over the weekend. Cabana contacted PWInsider.com tonight apologizing, stating that while there was a car accident, his blog jokingly inflated his actual injuries and he did not undergo any surgical procedures. I apologize for the earlier posting.

Since there's been some ROH talk in the Genesis thread, I'll just post this here. I think it paints a good picture of ROH. From WrestleView.com a few days ago...

Gabe Sapolsky was the featured guest this week. Gabe talks about the shows in England. 500 and over a 1,000 people in Liverpool, fans from all over Europe and says it was a great thing for the company. There's been talking about having shows internationally, but England seems to be the focus at the time. Les talks about Bryan Danielson and Nigel McGuiness unification match, Gabe says that Nigel wanted to do something special on the UK show. Sapolsky says McGuiness has a bright future and can be a wrestler to build the company around and next year will be the break out year for Nigel. Les says that Nigel McGuiness was one of the wrestlers interviewed by 20/20 and highlights he has a degree in Chemistry. Gabe continues by talking about how McGuiness has a new promo style which is more emotional and heartfelt which can be seen on the most recent DVD releases by Ring of Honor, like his match before Marafuji in New York.

Les asks about Bryan Danielson, Gabe replies that Bryan is working through a lot of pain with his shoulder. He's refused to take any pain medication and in Sapolsky's words is just 'riding it out'. Gabe Sapolsky continues by stating he's offered Danielson leave but Bryan still wants to continue and that with his attitude and his matches, that Bryan Danielson is a legend in the making. Les agrees and says he enjoy's watching Danielson work. Sapolsky reiterates that he made sure that Danielson's injury wasn't career threatening. Les Thatcher then asks Gabe about Ring of Honor and why it hasn't good a television deal and seen as a national promotion yet. Sapolsky replies saying that ROH is sustaining itself financially, no one's getting rich but are at a good point. Gabe remembers a quote which Paul Heyman said which he thinks relates to Ring of Honor now, which was "Too small to be big, but too big to be small". Has to be careful that ROH doesn't reach that point.

Gabe says ROH makes high quality DVDs which are multi-region and have sales in Europe and over the world. Sapolsky clarifies that Ring of Honor does depend on DVD sales, and it would be difficult if ROH was financially dependent on ticket sales alone. Les says that he would prolong the Joe/Angle feud and says that Gabe draws the storylines out. Sapolsky states that TNA has to rush as they are have to look for the next pay-per-view buyrate and concern themselves with television rating but he has the luxury with ROH not to be under pressure, except to keep DVD sales up and says producing great matches are most important as are good storylines. They can have long, drawn out storylines which is one benefit of them not having a television deal. Les talks about Spike TV's involvement with TNA and signing Sting, Kurt Angle and makes a point about those outside of the business wanting to be involved but not understanding the product. Gabe makes a similar point himself saying that a network would know a major name from the past and sign them for ratings and to summarise this doesn't equate success.

Being a self-contained DVD business, they answer to no one, but have to listen to the ROH fan base but don't have the pressure of a network. Les Thatcher asks Gabe about the new ECW. Sapolsky says he enjoys the one hour show, could have more talent signed but is pleased that CM Punk has been given the opportunity, which he says is huge and that Paul E understands him and his character. Gabe continues by stating it's nothing like the old ECW, watching a WWE product but is a good hour of TV. Les says that he thinks ECW is better paced than TNA. Gabe Sapolksy then says that you remember everything that happened, everything sticks and this is what is lacking on TNA's 'Impact!' right now. Les makes a good point about Don West hyping up the Joe/Angle pull apart but so did Rhino/Christian and AMW/LAX, but if too many people have one, no one really cares. Gabe says that 'Impact!' doesn't seem to have an ending, they just 'cut away' to commercials.

Doc asks Gabe about Claudio Castagnoli being offered a deal with WWE. According to Sapolsky, he hasn't signed as far as he knows. (NOTE: Castagnoli officially signed a contract a couple days later.) He can see why WWE would be interested as Claudio's a tall guy, natural athlete, great natural physique and is a great talent. Gabe continues by saying Castagnoli Understands how to pull off the gimmick and understands the importance of a character which would work out well with the WWE. ChrisTheCrusher in the chatroom asks Gabe how Jim Cornette is. Sapolsky responds by saying he is awesome to deal with, gave everyone a seminar in tag team wrestling, great having him there and has finished up his one year run in ROH, for now. Has been having health problems and Gabe says he'll see what happens in the future (in regards to Cornette's return). Had a great run with Jim, helpful in the locker room. He then talks about Ricky Steamboat saying he helped out in the locker room too, which Sapolsky say's makes the entire roster and the shows themselves better.

Jimmy Bob in the chat room asks if Gabe is still friends with Paul E and why there isn't a commentary table. Gabe says that commentary is done in post-production, so there's no need to have a table for commentators. He still talks to Paul occasionally. Another question from the chat room, from DeCapo, asks if Chris Hero will ever get a shot at the big time. Gabe responds by saying Hero's in ROH, can't get any bigger than that!. Gabe is then asked a chat room question if there's a chance Ring of Honor will hit Canada. He say's Canada is tough to get everything over the border like merchandise etc. have a good following there. Sapolsky is then asked about having more British wrestlers in ROH, he says that he would love to have Doug Williams back for another run. Looking more to the British talent.

Chris in the chat room asks whats good and different about ROH. Gabe say's ROH is different because it's the only group promoting pure pro-wrestling, all types of wrestling too. At a Ring of Honor show you'll see 30, 60 minute matches, every variety, without any internal pressure. Jimmy Bob asks if Ring of Honor ended, would Gabe Sapolsky ever work for WWE. He responds by saying it would take a lot of money. Doc asks about the influence of the internet demographic on ROH's promotional strategy. Gabe says that the internet is hugely important, where most of the ROH fanbase are, word of mouth is spread, great marketing tool. Free videos up on ROHvideos.com and on Youtube.com. He talks about the ROH Video Wire which features matches, interviews/promo's and says it's like a television show which you can watch for free.

Doc asks about Jimmy Jacobs and his videos. Gabe says that it is all Jimmy's work and ran with it. He continues by saying if you know the talent, if they come up with something if it's good then run with it and as a booker not everything has to be your own idea. Doc asks if there will be more videos, Sapolsky say's that you have to be careful with over saturation, saying both videos were tremendous, not a believer in having to force things. Les talks about Tank Toland and Brent Albright debuting in ROH. Both did really well, will be putting Tank in some singles matches and Brent impressed and won the crowd over. Gabe continues by saying he has plans for him in the upcoming months.

Brent got caught in the political system, didn't work out but they hire everyone back and Brent will probably go back. Next ROH shows will be on the 24th (Long Island, New York) and 25th Les says the deal with Pro-Wrestling NOAH is a strong relationship, a long run and talks about them having interest and good publicity in Japan, paid off for both the ROH and NOAH wrestlers and when Bryan Danielson goes over, he has a reputation. Harley Race was instrumental in making it happen. Gabe say's Nigel has been working for Pro-Wrestling NOAH in Japan and could be going back to work another tour soon. He continues that McGuiness had an awesome match with Marufuji for the GHC title. Les says it was interesting decision to put the belt on a junior heavyweight, Sapolsky say's that NOAH are creating stars for the future and say's they are creating their next generation of stars, it's interesting booking and it took a lot of guts and NOAH did a great job of it.

Professor VNS asks if there is any entertainment value in booking names that fans will boo like Zach Gowen, Jeff Hardy, Teddy Hart. Gabe says that he taped a match with Delirious going over Gowen, who worked for WWE, which gives Delirious more credibility than going over someone no one's ever heard of. He says that Tank Toland had difficultly with the Philadelphia crowd and Primo getting the win made the place go nuts. Sapolsky says Philadelphia is the toughest crowd and talks about the response which Toland got from the fans but he understand it and says that Tank has a good head on his shoulders.

Doc then asks if ROH will be bringing back the Pure Wrestling title, he responds by saying no, could be having a new title but says that the Pure title ran it's course and that the rules which were gimmick also ran their course but stated that McGuiness was a great champion. Doc and Les thank Gabe for being on the show, saying he should come back on in the future and you can check out Ring of Honor at www.rohwrestling.com and the ROH video wire at www.rohvideos.com.

When I get some extra money, I'm gonna have to buy some ROH DVDs...I love how they make the wrestling part of it out to be the most important aspect of their shows...

I don't watch this as much as I want to, but you need to do yourself a favor and make something ROH related happen for yourself ASAP. That goes for everyone here.

Those of you that are so desperate that you are actually watching TNA need to get over that and get into this stuff instead.

http://www.rohvideos.com/ should certainly be a site everyone checks out.

Of course the ROH DVD's are absolute gems and are well worth every penny, especially when you catch one of ROH's killer sales.

The Video Wire is also a great way to get a small ROH fix for the week, as it's a pretty good 10 minute show.

EDIT: ROH has their own forum now, this thread is locked.
