August 14th: The new ROH Video is up at www.ROHvideos.com and you can watch it for FREE!!! Hey, there isn't a lot of wrestling on this one. In fact, there is no actual wrestling. What you will see is The Briscoes in a setting that you've never seen them before. They give new meaning to the term "shooting" here. Then you witness the latest happenings with Delirious, Daizee Haze and Rhett Titus including a look at what is on Rhett's cell phone. This will change reputations forever.
 
August 14th: Tomorrow (Friday) is the return to Cleveland at the Cleveland Gray's Armory on 1234 Bolivar Road with a zip code of 44115 (go to http://graysarmorymuseum.org/ for more building info).

Cleveland will see the powerhouse duo of Strong & NWA World Heavyweight Champion Brent Albright battle the Sweet & Sour Inc. tandem of Chris Hero & Go Shiozaki with Larry Sweeney. Then on Saturday, Strong will run the Sweet & Sour Gauntlet and if he gets to the end of it he will get a match with Sweeney right there on the spot. Chicago could be the worst night of Sweeney's life.
 
August 14th: Sweeney believes that Chicago will be a great night. He tells why on his new office voicemail and he sounds very confident.
 
August 14th: This weekend is it. The match Jimmy Jacobs fears the most is happening as a result of Austin Aries.
