This is a first class facility that is located only minutes from downtown Hartford and just a few blocks off I-91. The show will be headlined by two title matches. In a bout with international implications Christopher Daniels & Matt Sydal will defend the ROH World Tag Team Titles against CIMA & Shingo. Roderick Strong will continue to try to raise the prestige of the FIP Heavyweight Title as he puts it on the line against Davey Richards. Check out the new ROH Video Wire to see why this will be a hot match after last week's events in FIP. There will be tickets available at the door and belltime is 8pm.
December 21st: The "Road Of Homicide" comes to an end this Saturday in Manhattan, NY when ROH returns to the Grand Ballroom in the Manhattan Center. There will be tickets available at the door and belltime is 7:30pm. The main event will see Bryan Danielson defend the World Title against NYC's own Homicide and if Homicide does not win the belt he will leave ROH. This match has basically been building since the very first ROH event and is almost five years in the making. This will be one of the most intense atmospheres in not just ROH history, but wrestling history. You are guaranteed a special moment when Homicide either wins the ROH World Title or says goodbye to ROH. Make sure to watch Danielson's intense promo in the new ROH Video Wire about this match. The promo is a must see.
December 21st: We are sorry to announce that Samoa Joe will not be able to wrestle on this weekend's events due to a knee injury. We apologize for the lineup change. Joe would also like to apologize to the ROH fans. Joe wants everyone to know that if there is anyway he could wrestle he would. Joe was told to stay home, but Joe insisted on coming to ROH's Hartford debut since it is an important show. Joe also said he would not miss Homicide's World Title Match for anything. Joe will still be in attendance in both Hartford and Manhattan and will still appear on the live shows. What role will he play on the shows?
December 21st: Jimmy Rave will take Samoa Joe's spot in the Four Corner Survival this Friday in Hartford. The non-title match will have ROH World Champion Bryan Danielson vs. Homicide vs. Nigel McGuinness vs. Jimmy Rave. There are a lot of issues in this one. It will be very interesting to see what happens with Danielson and Homicide in the same ring the night before their World Title Match. Make sure to watch the new ROH Video Wire to see what happened between Rave and McGuinness at "The Chicago Spectacular."
December 21st: There is no news on Nigel McGuinness' new opponent for Manhattan. No new talent will be added to take on Nigel and the card will just see a lineup change. With no opponent for Nigel and Chris Hero's mystery farewell for Claudio Castagnoli, the show is taking on an unpredictable tone. We promise to bring you the best matches possible and an exciting card that will give you more than your money's worth.
December 21st: The buy 3, get 1 free sale on ROH show, Straight Shootin' & Secrets Of The Ring DVDs will be in effect at both the Hartford and Manhattan live events. This is a great last chance to save on Christmas gifts for any wrestling fan on your gift list. This will include the latest two ROH releases "Honor Reclaims Boston" and "The Bitter End." 11/3 "Honor Reclaims Boston" saw ROH's triumphant return to the Boston area for an incredible card that featured a match of the year main event with Austin Aries & Roderick Strong vs. KENTA & Davey Richards plus Bryan Danielson vs. Delirious for the World Title and much more including six man action with Homicide, Samoa Joe & BJ Whitmer vs. The Briscoes & Steve Corino. 11/4 "The Bitter End" sees the end of one of ROH's most legendary feuds as Homicide faces Steve Corino in a brutal Fight Without Honor plus KENTA vs. Matt Sydal in a show stealer, Bryan Danielson & Jimmy Rave vs. Samoa Joe & Nigel McGuinness and lots more. Both these DVDs will be available this weekend at www.ROHwrestling.com and at the live events.
December 21st: Make sure to check the main page of ROHwrestling.com for an article on the curse of Homicide. Will Homicide's injured shoulder cost him his ROH career?
December 21st: The main event of Manhattan will obviously be Danielson vs. Homicide. ROH officials decided yesterday that the semi-main event will be Dragon Gate Rules action with CIMA, Shingo & Matt Sydal vs. Delirious, Austin Aries & Roderick Strong. Sydal, Aries and Strong are all very familiar with Dragon Gate Rules, which means no tags are needed. The last time ROH saw six mans with the Dragon Gate athletes was The Milestone Series and those bouts stole with the show with state-of-the-art action. The Manhattan bout is the continuation of the Sydal/Delirious rivalry as these two face off again. Sydal is also looking to finally get the best of his former Generation Next stablemates in Aries & Strong. Don't miss a rare chance to see Japan's Technical Wrestler Of The Year in CIMA. Get your tickets at the door and see Dragon Gate six man action followed by the most dramatic World Title Match in ROH history. It doesn't get any better than this!!!
December 21st: We'll be back after Christmas with the first main event matches for 1/26 in the Boston area and 1/27 in Edison, NJ. There will also be lots of news next week about the Fifth Year Festival.
