RING OF HONOR NEWSWIRE

February 24th: ROH officials were contacted earlier this morning by the Pro Wrestling NOAH office to inquire as to the upcoming availability of ROH World Champion Nigel McGuinness for a return to Japan. Apparently following his victory over Naomichi Marufuji at “Final Battle 2008”, the arrogant McGuinness went to NOAH representative Ryu Nakata and laid out an open challenge for any member of the NOAH roster to face him for his ROH World Title. Stay tuned to ROHWrestling.com for more on this story as it develops.

February 24th: Just signed for St. Louis on March 13th is a tag team match pitting Kenny King and “Addicted to Love” Rhett Titus against Irish Airborne. Titus and King are facing the ROH World Tag Team Champions – Kevin Steen and El Generico – the next night at the ROH debut in Indianapolis in the biggest match of their ROH careers. Do you think they could they possibly overlook the vastly underrated Airborne?

February 24th: Speaking of Indianapolis, a huge dream tag team main event has been signed. After going to a spectacular time limit draw in Detroit, Tyler Black has an even greater respect for Jerry Lynn. Nigel McGuinness obviously has no respect for either Black or Lynn; referring to them as “Geritol” and Tylenol”. Both Black and Lynn requested a tag team match for the ROH debut in Indianapolis, and McGuinness has responded – by selecting Austin Aries as his partner. Black wants Aries in the worst way. Lynn and McGuinness have no love lost. Indianapolis is in for a fight!

February 24th: The top two female wrestlers to emerge from the St. Louis wrestling scene in recent years will clash over the SHIMMER Championship when ROH returns to the Gateway Center on March 13th. SHIMMER Champion "Your Soul's Tormentor" MsChif will put the title on the line against her former ally Daizee Haze! This bout was originally scheduled to take place at ROH's St. Louis area debut, but had to be postponed when MsChif was sidelined with an injury. Now that she is back at 100%, MsChif, fighting at the side of Jimmy Jacobs and the Age of the Fall, will attempt to hold onto her title against a very determined woman who would like nothing more than to see Jimmy Jacobs' "movement" destroyed. There is no more fitting location for The Haze to challenge for the SHIMMER Championship than right in her old stomping grounds of St. Louis, and it will happen on March 13th!

February 24th: A huge grudge tag team match has been signed for March 20th, just outside of Pittsburgh! The Age of the Fall has made no bones about their desire to destroy The Necro Butcher and Tyler Black. In Orlando, Jacobs blasted Tyler with a chair and caused an AOTF loss via disqualification. That hasn’t sat well with Necro and Tyler, both of whom want Jacobs’ blood on their hands. ROH Officials have made the match – Tyler Black and the Necro Butcher will face Jimmy Jacobs and Brodie Lee in an anything goes FALLS COUNT ANYWHERE BRAWL!

February 24th: The 4th of 6 inaugural TV main events is set for the Sunday HDNet taping at the Arena in South Philly. Jerry Lynn has been a huge inspiration to so many competitors since his return to prominence in ROH. Not only inside the ring - but in everyday life. ROH Officials are very happy to give Jerry a television main event; one the company feels he deserves in the building that made him famous. ROH Officials have also gone a step further and have given him the chance to choose who he will face. Jerry has selected someone a bit unexpected, and that man is the mammoth Brodie Lee! “I know he’s affiliated with Jacobs and his insanity,” said Lynn. “But here’s a guy that could have such a bright future if he’d get his head on straight. And if he can’t or won’t do it himself, and if he’s not sick of Necro punching the hell out of him yet, then maybe I can take a shot at him. Maybe I can show him what he’s really made of or, better yet, what he can be.”
