RING OF HONOR NEWSWIRE

By ROH Wrestling on 9/6/2006 8:34 AM

September 6th: You all know by now that legendary hall-of-famer Bruno
Sammartino will be at the ROH event on 9/16 in Manhattan when ROH
debuts at the Manhattan Center. Sammartino will be available to meet
the fans. This is sure to be a special night as the Manhattan Center is
in the shadows of Madison Square Garden, where Sammartino had some of
his most famous matches. There is something special about Sammartino in
Midtown Manhattan. There is now only one question. What will Sammartino
do on the live ROH event? Will he step foot in a ROH ring? If he does
what will be the capacity? We will have the answer later this week or
early next week right here in the ROHwrestling.com Newswire.

  September 6th: "Glory By Honor V Weekend" will almost have a
convention like atmosphere. NOAH stars Takeshi Morishima, Muhammad Yone
and Takashi Sugiura will be in both East Windsor and Manhattan and
available for autographs although they will not be wrestling. It is no
secret that ROH officials want to book Morishima. It will be
interesting to see what happens when Morishima first steps into a ROH
building next weekend.

  September 6th: There are several huge matches set for "Glory By Honor
V Weekend." The talk in the ROH office is which match will steal the
weekend. A lot of the talk around that is centering around the first
ever singles match in ROH between Samoa Joe and Roderick Strong. These
two fought in two brutal, hard-hitting bouts in FIP in January of 2005.
Now they will finally collide one-on-one in ROH as it will be Joe vs.
Strong on 9/15 in East Windsor. Joe is coming into this match ready to
dish out a beating. Strong scored the upset and handed Joe only his
second pinfall loss of 2006 in ROH on 8/25 in St. Paul. Strong pinned
Joe soundly following a flurry that ended in the Gibson Driver. Now Joe
wants to prove that it will never happen again. These two are ready to
tear down the house on 9/15 in East Windsor.

  September 6th: Several big matches will be signed soon for ROH's
return to Detroit on 10/7. ROH World Tag Team Champions Austin Aries &
Roderick Strong will put the belts on the line. The current talent
roster has: ROH World Champion Bryan Danielson; ROH Tag Team Champions
Austin Aries & Roderick Strong; Jay & Mark Briscoe; Samoa Joe;
Christopher Daniels; Homicide; The Embassy featuring Jimmy Rave;
Claudio Castagnoli; Matt Sydal; Delirious; Jimmy Jacobs; Colt Cabana;
Irish Airborne and more to be added. Most of the big matches for this
event will be signed after the happenings of 9/15 and 9/16. You can
rest assured that ROH will bring some huge matches to Detroit on
October 7th. There are still great seats available now at
