February 23rd:  In case you missed the article on the main page http://www.rohwrestling.com/news/article.aspx?id=2637, Ring of Honor will tape "Take No Prisoners" for Pay-Per-View on Saturday, April 4th as part of the huge weekend of events in Houston, TX!  ROH Officials are happy to announce that as part of the weekend festivities, we will see the debut of Mexican Freelance stars Incognito and Magno!  These two have been featured in matches together all over the world, and now they will bring their unique athleticism to Ring of Honor!  As if that wasn’t enough, we will also see the ROH debut of another wrestling legend in Houston!  Lucha Libre legend and current NWA Champion, Blue Demon, Jr. will be on hand for both events!  We’ll have more talent and match announcements as we move forward.


February 23rd:  The third of the first six Television main events has been signed and it will feature two of the biggest names in ROH history.  Both men are former ROH World Champions and have had some the biggest following in company history. And now ROH Officials have agreed that they should lock horns on National Television.  Bryan Danielson versus Aust Aries.  That’s a main event anywhere in the wrestling world, and we’re proud to be bringing it to National TV!


February 23rd:  The World Tag Team Titles will be defended when ROH debuts in Indianapolis on March 14th!  Kevin Steen and El Generico are the epitome of “fighting champions” and on 3/14 they’ll face the challenge of Kenny King and Rhett Titus!  King and Titus are untested against competition of this caliber, but Kevin Steen commented, “Do they deserve a title match?  Have they proved themselves?  Maybe not to some.  But that won’t stop Generico and me from defending the titles where ever we can. And they signed the open contract.  Sure, we could’ve made it non-title, but what kind of debut would that be?  We’re coming into Indy as fighting champions, and we’ll leave as fighting champions!”


February 23rd:  Also signed for Indianapolis on March 14th is a singles contest between Jay Briscoe and Chris Hero!  Briscoe is looking to take out anyone in Sweet-N-Sour Incorporated as revenge for his fallen brother, and Hero apparently drew the shortest lot.  But Hero is fresh off a successful tour of Pro Wrestling NOAH where he received the training of a lifetime, and he’s waiting for the fight.  March 14th can’t get here soon enough!

February 23rd:  We'll have comments from "Nature Boy" Ric Flair on his upcoming appearance in suburban St. Louis on March 13th in the next edition of the ROH Video Wire.
