December 2nd: It appears that dangerous feudal lines may cross on 12/26 in
Philadelphia! The ROH World Tag Team Champions, Kevin Steen and El
Generico, have requested to team up with the man they saved from a sure beat
down in Toronto, The Necro Butcher! Steen and Generico have made it known
to ROH officials that they are chomping at the bit to get their hands on the
Briscoe Brothers again, especially after the sheer disrespect that they
dealt with after their “Rising Above†PPV encounter, while Necro is dying
for another chance to exact revenge on the Age of the Fall. These three men
have requested a 6-man-grudge match! We’re awaiting word from both the
Briscoes and the AOTF on whether this six-man-battle will happen!
December 2nd: Speaking of Necro, we now know what he’ll be doing in
Nashville on 12/6. Jimmy Jacobs and Tyler Black basically told Necro in the
ROH Videowire
www.youtube.com/watch?v=ArgX8V2BUL to “bring it on†and he's vehemently
stated that he's going do just that. One night after he teams with “Crazyâ€
Ace Steel in suburban St. Louis to face Jacobs and Delirious, he will once
again face the AOTF, this time in the form of former ROH World Tag Champs,
Jacobs and Black! And Necro has selected a partner that knows the AOTF all
too well. Fresh off his “I Quit†victory over Jacobs at “Rising Aboveâ€,
Austin Aries will team with Necro in Nashville! All four of these men have
been entrenched in one battle of another over the past several weeks, and
all bets are off on 12/6. One thing to consider is that Aries is facing
Tyler Black in a one-on-one match in St. Louis, so who knows how well Aries
will fare this Saturday even with Necro at his side!
December 2nd: ROH World Champion Nigel McGuinness and Claudio Castagnoli
will oppose the team of Bryan Danielson and Jerry Lynn on 12/5 in St.
Louis. Now we’ve come to learn that McGuinness and Castagnoli have an open
contract for a tag team match on 12/26 in Philly! More on this as it
develops.
December 2nd: Alex Payne made his biggest impact in ROH during the epic
McGuinness/Danielson championship classic at “Rising Aboveâ€. “Sugarfootâ€
will return to singles action on the 12/6 Nashville main show!
December 2nd: The ROH Booking Committee is bringing the
Four-Corner-Survival back to New York City during “Final Battle†on 12/27.
The first entry into the fray is none other than Sweet-n-Sour’s “Young
Knockout Kid†Chris Hero! We’ll have more competitors as we get closer to
12/27!
December 2nd: The movie "The Wrestler" in which Ring of Honor is featured
opens December 17th in limited release. The reviews so far have been
excellent, especially the performance of star Mickey Rourke. The movie is
featured in the current issue of Rolling Stone magazine (pg. 101) with
Britney Spears on the cover. There was also a great article in the New York
Times entertainment section this past weekend on the movie and Rourke. You
