June 26th: One of the main events of ROH's return to Manassas, VA on 8/1 has been signed and it is a doozy. The Motor City Machine Guns of Alex Shelley & Chris Sabin will make a rare ROH appearance on that show. After defeating then ROH World Tag Team Champions Jay & Mark Briscoe in Chicago, they want to get into title contention and get more ROH bookings. We already know they will face Kevin Steen & El Generico on 8/2 in Manhattan. Now on 8/1 they are not only wrestling one of ROH's best teams, but ROH's two aces. 8/1 in Manassas will have Shelley & Sabin vs. Bryan Danielson & Austin Aries!!! This one is particularly interesting because it re-ignites and Aries vs. Shelley feud. Get your tickets now at ROHwrestling.com.
 
June 26th: The Honky Tonk Man will be at the ROH event this Saturday in Chicago signing autographs. Yes, that Honky Tonk Man.
 
June 26th: This looks to be a very important weekend for Sweet & Sour Inc. led by Larry Sweeney. Tomorrow night in Dayton he will have a chance to manage the first ever ROH World and NWA World Heavyweight Champion. This would give Sweeney an extraordinary amount of leverage and leave him in firm control. Not only that, but he is hopeful that Chris Hero can eliminate Roderick Strong before Strong becomes a thorn in his side. Sweeney has stated that Hero will out wrestle and then knock Strong out. Chicago this Saturday will see Sweeney introduce his newest client as he is faced with two enemies in Brent Albright & Roderick Strong. Sweeney says his office voicemail tomorrow will offer a clue as to who the mystery man is, but no one has even come close to guessing it correctly. Is Sweet & Sour Inc. the dominant force in ROH? We'll find out after this weekend.
