September 4th: It will be difficult for ROH to announce more matches for the 9/19 PPV taping in Boston due to the uncertain results of the previous weekend in Japan and the nature of PPV tapings. However, you can be assured that ROH will pull out all the stops when pay-per-view is taped in Boston at the beautiful Boston University campus. The building is a great location just seconds off Commonwealth Ave. and the MBTA. We have learned that Jerry Lynn will be on the actual PPV taping so his match will be featured on ROH PPV. He is sure to face a top quality opponent when he returns to Boston. Here is how the taping is shaping up:
