February 17th: In case you missed the story on
the main page this morning, current GHC Junior Heavyweight Champion, Katsuhiko
Nakajima, will return to ROH for the two huge events taking place April 3 and
4 in Houston, TX! ROH officials are excited to once again work with the
Kensuke Office and have Nakajima back in the fold, and we’re currently working
to finalize his matches for that weekend. We will have those and more
announcements regarding our debut in Houston in the coming weeks right here in
the Newswire!
February 17th: A grudge tag team match has been signed for Danbury! The
latest ROH Videowire is up (

and Kevin Steen has had a chance to see the footage of the attack on his
partner, El Generico. Steen has demanded a match with Sweet-N-Sour
Incorporated for February 27th in Danbury even though he knows Generico will
not be able to compete due to a knee injury. Davey Richards, the one who
carried out the brutality at the behest of Larry Sweeney, is out of the
country. But that hasn’t deterred Steen. He commented, “Give me Edwards;
give me Hero; hell, give me Sweeney! They’ve got to pay!†Sweeney’s American
Wolves love to target the knees, and that commonality gave Steen all he
needed to reach out for a partner.20Kevin Steen will team with Jay Briscoe
on February 27 against Sweet-n-Sour members Eddie Edwards and the returning
Chris Hero! Will they exact a measure of revenge for their fallen
compatriots?
February 17th: ROH is happy to announce the following competitors will be on

chance to save on tickets for all upcoming events.
February 17th: The first Television Main Events in ROH history have been
signed. ROH officials and the Booking Committee went over the potential
matchups, narrowing them down to what will become the first 6 Television
Main Events in company history. ROH officials then had to decide which of
those 6 matches should receive the honor of “main eventing†the very first
televised hour of ROH action. Thoughtful consideration was given to a number
of factors including company longevity, overall standing in the industry,
and championship status. In the end, ROH officials decided to go outside the
box a bit and give the fans a match that everyone has been waiting for since
the events that took place at Final Battle last December. On February 28th
in Philadelphia the one-on-one encounter has been signed. In the very first
TV Main Event in company history Jimmy Jacobs and Tyler Black will stand
across the ring from each other with the eyes of the wrestling world upon
them. The war has just begun. Don’t miss out; tickets are on sale now at
www.rohwrestling.com. You don’t want to wait for the program to air on
HDNet, be there live and witness hatred at its highest level!
February 17th: In the next Newswire we’ll announce the first matchups for
St. Louis and Indianapolis as well as the second of the first 6 TV Main
Events in ROH history!
