January 13th:
Austin Aries finally made contact with the ROH Booking Committee after
ignoring several attempts to reach him since Final Battle. After several
requests, he said that he’ll capitalize on the World Title shot he earned by
defeating Tyler Black to “become the first two-time ROH World Champion†in
Edison. He also said that soon his “manifesto would be opened to the eyes
of the blindâ€.
January 13th: We received disheartening news late last week in reference to
Mark Briscoe’s ailing knee. It appears that he will be sidelined for much
longer than originally thought. Jay Briscoe stated that, “(Mark) has been
told that they need to shorten the ligament behind his kneecap and tighten
the ligaments on the sides.†It seems that medical personnel may in fact
need to harvest the ligament tissue needed for the procedure from cadavers.
We’ve been told to expect him to be out of action somewhere between 4 and 6
months, depending on his recovery and the rehabilitation process. Everyone
at Ring of Honor wishes Mark the best in his recovery.
January 13th: Rhett Titus will have the biggest test of his young wrestling
career when ROH returns to Detroit. On January 30, “Addicted to Love†will
meet the “Best in the World†as Titus has signed to face “American Dragonâ€
Bryan Danielson in a singles match. “Hey Brother, I’m making a name for
myself,†said Titus. “And the ladies of Detroit Rock City will quiver when
I swivel because everyone knows, brother, that my delts will make them all –
even Danielson – melt.â€
January 13th: ROH Officials are happy to announce that a rematch from “The
French Connection†has been signed for Detroit. Brodie Lee of the Age of
the Fall has demanded another shot at the Necro Butcher claiming that the
match they had in Montreal “pales in comparison to the beating I’ll give
Necro on the 30thâ€.
