September 5th: Jay & Mark Briscoe are getting ready for a huge weekend
at "Glory By Honor V" on 9/15 in East Windsor, CT and 9/16 in Manhattan
with the huge debut at The Manhattan Center. The Briscoes are looking
to be known as the best tag team in wrestling and they have been
backing up their claim with incredible matches. They will be faced with
four of the best going today on "Glory By Honor V Weekend." It will be
an international dream match in East Windsor as The Briscoes take on
NOAH's KENTA & Naomichi Marufuji. The Briscoes have jumped KENTA on
recent shows and now KENTA is bringing his regular partner, Marufuji,
to ROH to try to get some revenge. Manhattan will see a heated grudge
match as The Briscoes take on the unique team of Brooklyn's own
Homicide & Samoa Joe. This will be the first time that Joe & Homicide
have ever teamed. Do we really need to give these matches any hype?
Tickets are now on sale for both events.

September 5th: The Pure Title might be retired, but ROH will keep the
Pure Title rules for gimmick matches. If two technical wrestlers are in
the middle of a rivalry they can settle their feud in a Pure Rules
Match!!!
September 5th: Former Pure Champion Nigel McGuinness is not discouraged
after losing the belt in Liverpool. McGuinness is training harder than
ever in preparation for his match against Naomichi Marufuji on 9/16 in
Manhattan. McGuinness, who is a regular in NOAH, sees this as the
biggest match of his life. A win here would raise his prestige in both
ROH and NOAH. Something to keep an eye on is that Marufuji is receiving
a GHC Heavyweight Title Match this weekend against Jun Akiyama in
Japan. This is Marufuji's shot at the most important title in Japan. We
will report on this match next week in the ROHwrestling.com Newswire.
September 5th: We will have an update on ROH World Champion Bryan
Danielson's shoulder injury later this week.
