RING OF HONOR NEWSWIRE: LOTS OF NASHVILLE NEWS

By ROH Wrestling on 11/25/2008 2:58 PM

November 25th:  One could reasonably argue that Claudio Castagnoli cost Bryan Danielson the ROH World Title last Saturday in Chicago with an attack on Dragon’s already injured leg, also suffered at the hands of Castagnoli in Dayton.  Rumor has it that Castagnoli immediately began lobbying the ROH Booking Committee for another shot at Danielson after his loss in Dayton, and that 12/6 in Nashville is his target date for the rematch.  We have it on good authority that both competitors will address this in this week’s Video Wire which will be available for viewing on Wednesday.

November 25th:  Larry Sweeney sent Bobby Dempsey into action this past weekend in Dayton, and he was ever-impressive in victory.  The huge ovation for Dempsey by the Dayton fans did not seem to sit well with Sweeney, who lambasted Dempsey at every turn, even with the win.  We’ve confirmed that Dempsey is scheduled be in action on both 12/5 and 12/6.  We’ll have match announcements soon here in the Newswire.

November 25th:  Irish Airborne came up short in their ROH return in Dayton, falling to the hyper-aggressive Briscoe Brothers.  The Airborne will return to ROH action in Nashville on 12/6 as they will face the interesting duo of Grizzly Redwood and Bushwhacker Luke Williams!  Redwood and Luke have been seen training and sparring as of late, and they appear ready to see if they have what it takes to make a dent in ROH’s tag team division.

November 25th:  The Necro Butcher said he’d find someone as “crazy” as him to battle the Age of the Fall in St. Louis.  We now know who his partner will be.  Fresh off his return to ROH in Chicago along side Brent Albright and Roderick Strong, “Crazy” Ace Steel has stepped up and told the Butcher that he will stand along side him!  It will be Ace and the Butcher teaming on 12/5 to face Jimmy Jacobs and Delirious.  Daizee Haze will also be on hand in St. Louis, facing Shimmer Champion and AOTF member, MsChif.  ROH officials have been informed that the Haze has sent Necro some correspondence as recently as last Sunday.  We don’t know at this point what that correspondence entailed.   Tickets are on sale for $10 to this event until Thursday morning.

November 25th:  We also know that Necro has demanded a match against the AOTF on 12/6 in Nashville as well.  It isn’t clear if he’s requested a singles or tag team match, but we do know that Ace Steel is not scheduled to be in Nashville.  More on this as it develops.

November 25th:  Word came down late last night from the ROH Offices that a Grudge Tag Team match will take place on 12/6 in Nashville.  Brent Albright and the returning Erick Stevens will face a duo from Sweet-n-Sour Incorporated.  In light of recent events, ROH Officials have mandated that all managers and ring seconds will be BARRED from ringside to help mitigate any potential outside interference in this encounter.  As you might imagine, this ruling has outraged Larry Sweeney, as he was threatened with what ROH officials deemed as “stiff repercussions” if this mandate is ignored.  Tickets are on sale for $10 to this event until Thursday20morning.
