July 24th: WOW this weekend is big!!! Tomorrow (Friday) will see ROH finally cross the border into Canada for its debut in Toronto (Ted Reeve Arena, 175 Main Street, Ontario M4E 2W2) and then on Saturday ROH will tape PPV #8 in Detroit (Michigan State Fairgrounds & Expo Center, 1120 W. State Fair Ave., MI 48203). Tickets will be available at the door in Toronto & Detroit and belltime each night is 8pm. Lance Storm, a champion in WWE, WCW and ECW, will be in attendance both nights and he will be available for autographs. Storm will be playing an important role behind the scenes helping out the roster. He will also be involved in both the Toronto and Detroit live events including the PPV itself in Detroit. What role will he play on the shows? We'll find out tomorrow in Toronto and in two days in Detroit. What will happen when Lance Storm returns to ROH?

 

July 24th: THIS SATURDAY IS ROH'S LAST SHOW IN DETROIT IN 2008. Unfortunately, due to scheduling conflicts ROH will not be able to return to Detroit until 2009. Don't miss your last chance to see ROH this year in Motown. We plan to go out with a bang with the PPV taping.

 

July 24th: The unpredictable nature of ROH's PPVs and the uncertain status of the World Title since it will be defended in Toronto does not make it possible to announce more matches for ROH's pay-per-view taping on Saturday in Detroit. So far ROH is 7-for-7 in delivering on PPV so you know you are guaranteed to see great and intriguing match ups in Motown. There will also be a non-PPV bout involving Kenny Omega. The main event will also be another non-PPV match and it will be something unique. The first ever Honor Rumble will take place!!! It will have a very similar format to WWE's Royal Rumble. The fans of Virginia will have to watch this Detroit main event closely. Why?

 

July 24th: Attention fans in Virginia!!!!! The winner of the Honor Rumble this Saturday in Detroit will get a World Title Match on 8/1 when ROH returns to Manassas, VA. Who will the challenger be and who will be World Champion after this weekend? There is no telling what World Title Match will take place when it is defended for the first time in Virginia.
