RING OF HONOR NEWS AND NOTES

January 20th:  Kevin Steen spoke with ROH officials yesterday in regards to the challenge laid out by Claudio Castagnoli for Chicago on January 31st.  “I talked it over with Generico,” said Steen.  “But he was busy translating something from the ROH website into Spanish so I don’t think he was paying attention.  Anyway, it doesn’t matter because I know he’s fine with me facing Claudio, as I never back down from a challenge.  Claudio thinks he’s “championship material”?  Well, we’ll see if that’s the case on the 31st on Pay-Per-View.”  Don’t forget, Steen and Generico will defend the World Tag Team Titles in Detroit against Larry Sweeney’s American Wolves!

January 20th:  Speaking of Detroit, a huge singles match has been signed.  Fresh off of coming within an eyelash of winning the ROH World Title, Tyler Black will face the man with the biggest grudge against Nigel McGuinness as of late .  Jerry Lynn and Tyler Black will face off in the Motor City on January 30th in what promises to be a pristine example of wrestling excellence only available in Ring of Honor.

January 20th:  Jay Briscoe is tired of the double teams and cheap shots.  His brother, Mark, is severely injured due to this kind of behavior by Sweet-N-Sour Incorporated.  The fans in Edison, NJ witnessed Jay come to the aid of Tyler Black who faced a similar danger at the hands of Austin Aries and Jimmy Jacobs.  Briscoe was victorious in an impromptu Three Way Dance over Aries and Jacobs, and now we’ve gotten word that he’s got something important to say in the upcoming ROH Videowire.

January 20th:  ROH officials have been in back and forth contact with “Lightning” Mike Quackenbush as of late.  We’ll have news on this as it develops.

January 20th:  Roderick Strong and Erick Stevens wanted a tag team match for Detroit, and now they’ve got one.  Freshly signed this morning is a match that will pit Stevens and Strong against the Age of the Fall represented by their leader, Jimmy Jacobs, and Delirious.  After falling to The Necro Butcher in Manassas last Friday, Jimmy Jacobs was extremely vocal in his displeasure with Delirious’ relenting to Daizee Haze.  Perhaps a convincing tag team win can cement the grasp the Jacobs has over the psyche of the Lizard Man.  A newly aggressive Delirious could spell trouble for Strong and Stevens, who 24 hours later will do combat in the Cage!
