RING OF HONOR NEWSWIRE
By ROH Wrestling on 4/27/2009 12:29 PM
April 27th: We want to say thank you to the
incredible fans in both Dayton, OH and Chicago, IL for the two excellent
events this past weekend! Both cities brought big, enthusiastic crowds, and
there is nothing better than that! ROH returns to Dayton on September 18th,
and we’re back in Chicago on June 27th with the Chicago ROH debut
of “Nature Boy†Ric Flair! Tickets to both events are on sale at
www.rohwrestling.com.
April 27th: Tyler Black may have beaten Chris Hero in Chicago, but he came out
worse for wear by the end of the night. Earlier in the event, Tyler and Jimmy
Jacobs had a war of words, which ended with Tyler telling Jacobs he was
pathetic and a disappointment. Jimmy sat in tears as Tyler walked off. Then
later on, just after Black was successful in defeating Chris Hero, Jacobs
struck, using his infamous railroad spike to bloody and batter Black. Tyler
didn’t require medical attention, but once more his former mentor was inside
his head. Jacobs refused comment, only smiling and muttering, “The means. The
end. Justification is subjective.â€
April 27th: Tickets are now on sale at
www.rohwrestling.com for both events in Toronto at the Ted Reeve Arena on
Friday, July 24th and Saturday, July 25th.
April 27th: El Generico was in contact with ROH officials this weekend after
going over the results of his MRI with his doctors. We’re being told that
there is significant damage to his knee, specifically to his Meniscus and
Posterior Cruciate Ligament. As of now, Generico is being listed as doubtful
for the ROH events in Boston, MA on May 8th and Edison, NJ on May 9th.
As soon as we can confirm whether or not he’ll be in attendance it will be
announced here in the Newswire.
April 27th: Kevin Steen and Jay Briscoe were set to do the improbable and win
the World Tag Team Titles from Richards and Edwards last Saturday in Chicago.
And for 90% of the battle it looked like it could happen. But an inadvertent
shot to Briscoe’s groin late in the match by Steen seemed to derail the whole
thing. The American Wolves retained the gold, and Steen and Briscoe were back
to their old habits, bickering and shoving one another around. It ended with
Jay Briscoe finally walking off alone and leaving Steen to his own
disappointment. But with Mark Briscoe still on the shelf, and El Generico
potentially about to be, Steen and Briscoe may have no other choice than to
patch up whatever discontent their feeling, or the Tag Titles may end up too
far out of reach. Both Steen and Briscoe will be a part of the National
Television Tapings at the Arena in South Philly on May 29th and 30th.
April 27th: Injuries were an unfortunate theme this weekend in Dayton and
Chicago. Roderick Strong received 10 stitches at a Dayton hospital to close
the wound on his head that was suffered in his match against Jerry Lynn. Roddy
braved the blood loss and fought valiantly, and both men dug deep to make the
World Title match a classic. Jon Davis of the Dark City Fight Club also made a
stop at the hospital before leaving Dayton. Davis suffered a dislocated wrist
in the match against Jay Briscoe and Kevin Steen. With the wrist heavily
wrapped and against doctor’s orders, Davis competed the next night in Chicago.
Both Strong and Davis are not expected to miss time.
