RING OF HONOR NEWSWIRE

By ROH Wrestling on 5/12/2009 12:03 PM

May 12th: As announced in this morning’s main page article http://www.rohwrestling.com/news/article.aspx?id=2770, the third of the 6 main events to be filmed at the next ROH on HDNet National Television tapings is official. On May 29th at the Arena in south Philadelphia, Roderick Strong will face KENTA in singles action! Roddy has been on a roll since returning from Pro Wrestling NOAH, and this will be perhaps his biggest challenge to date. Tickets are on sale for the tapings on May 29th and 30th at www.rohwrestling.com. Don’t be left out as this match is a potential classic!

May 12th: Prince Nana was very happy with Joey Ryan’s debut in Boston and Edison last weekend. And even though Ryan lost a singles contest to Colt Cabana, Prince Nana believes he is a great asset to the Embassy. “I know these fools like the Boo Boo Cabana think they have an advantage, eh, but they will fall. This is why I will bring the sleaze to Detroit and Chicago. I bring Joey Ryan to show those stinking pigs the power of the Embassy!” Joey Ryan will be in action on June 26th in Detroit and June 27th in Chicago. Don’t forget, ROH Ambassador Ric Flair will also appear. Tickets are on sale now for both events!

May 12th: ROH is also happy to announce that Petey Williams will appear in Detroit on June 26th and Chicago on June 27th. ROH officials are high on his athleticism and look forward to his matches during that doubleshot weekend.

May 12th: Jimmy Jacobs has been obsessed with bringing down Tyler Black. And after the brutal attack on Black with his railroad spike last time in Chicago, it would seem that Jacobs is once again firmly inside Tyler’s head. Since then, ROH officials have told both competitors that the violence cannot go on long term, and that they must settle their differences once and for all. ROH officials have given each man the right to choose a match that they believe will end the feud. Jacobs was first to respond, citing the pleasure he received when seeing the footage of a fallen Tyler, lying in a pool of his own blood while surrounding fans chanted the word “disappointment”. “I know they thought they were shouting that to me,” said Jacobs. “But the eyes of those who will not see are only open to fallacy, and the truth is that Tyler is my biggest disappointment. And I will put an end to that disappointment in New York and he will bleed again as I select a First Blood match.” Tyler Black has yet to respond with the match he has chosen.

May 12th: Signed for ROH’s return to Manassas and New York: ROH World Champion Jerry Lynn, ROH World Tag Team Champions The American Wolves, Kevin Steen, Bryan Danielson, Tyler Black, Colt Cabana, Eddie Kingston (6/13 only), and Roderick Strong. This is in addition to Guido Maritato (6/13 only), The Young Bucks, Sonjay Dutt, and ROH Ambassador “Nature Boy” Ric Flair. We’ll have more matches announced for both events in the next ROH Newswire!
