RING OF HONOR NEWSWIRE

March 9th: Eddie Edwards of Larry Sweeney’s American Wolves has issued a challenge for March 20th just outside Pittsburgh. His partner in the Wolves, Davey Richards, was hand-picked by Nigel McGuinness and will be facing the team of KENTA and El Generico. With that in mind, Edwards wants to prove himself in the singles ranks, and Larry Sweeney has no doubt that he will. “It’s simple, Eddie Edwards has been looked over by the wrestling public,” said Sweeney. “But he’s top shelf in a team, and he’s top shelf on his own. Top shelf is only what Sweet-n-Sour deals with, and on March 20th in that dump Pittsburgh, Eddie will show the world why.” Signed for Pittsburgh is Eddie Edwards versus Brent Albright!

March 9th: Jimmy Jacobs of the Age of the Fall has suggested that the ROH Booking Committee allows what he calls a “day of reckoning for those that stand against the revolution”. Tyler Black, meanwhile, has been requesting a shot at Jacobs for March 21st in New York, the very location that Austin Aries and Jacobs laid Black to waste at Final Battle 2008. Jacobs hasn’t ruled out the match, but has been steadfast that any such match would have to take place under terms that he, and only he, sets. “Tyler Black is blinded by the sheep that mindlessly chant his name. As is Necro. These are prime examples of the kind of weakness that the revolution is pledged to eliminate. Black wants his revenge? He wants it at the 'scene of the crime'? Well, I know I’ll have Brodie Lee at my side, and if need be, I’m sure Austin Aries could be persuaded to fight fire as well. But we shall see if Tyler Black is willing to meet my demands, because that is the only way he’ll ever get another chance to exact the revenge his shallow soul desires.” More on this at it develops.

March 9th: Silas Young has just been added to Indianapolis on March 14th, and will be in singles competition.

March 9th: ROH officials are happy to announce that the ROH World Championship will be defended on April 3rd in Houston. The current ROH World Champion, Nigel McGuinness, has two defenses signed before ROH debuts in the Lone Star State - on March 13th against Brent Albright; and against KENTA on March 21st. Regardless of who is carrying the title by then, McGuinness or not, it will be on the line. ROH officials are anxious to see the outcome of the title match in St. Louis this Friday night so that they can narrow down the challengers for April 3rd in Houston.

March 9th: “The Young Knockout Kid” Chris Hero and Larry Sweeney have been scouting talent as of late, and have been very impressed by the resume of freelance lucha talent, Incognito. “Here’s a guy with tremendous upside,” said Hero. “He’s got the athleticism, heart, and obviously tremendous skill. He just needs direction.” Sweeney added, “Sweet-N-Sour Incorporated has been very successful in guiding foreign talent in ROH, and we’ve been looking to spread our reach into Mexico and beyond.” ROH officials have learned that Sweeney has been in contact with Incognito about a “Sweet-N-Sour Audition” of sorts, apparently to take place in Houston when ROH debuts there on the weekend of April 3rd and 4th. We’ll have more on this going forward.
