April 23rd: Ring Of Honor is ready to return to action this Friday in St. Paul and Saturday in Chicago. It will be Colt Cabana's final ROH weekend. Cabana had a great run in ROH that stared in December of 2002. The main page of www.ROHwrestling.com has an exclusive interview with Cabana looking at his best times and best memories. Cabana wanted his ROH career to end in his hometown of Chicago on Saturday. It is sure to be a very memorable and emotional night at "Good Times, Great Memories" back at the Frontier Fieldhouse. Tickets for both St. Paul and Chicago are available now at ROHwrestling.com or by calling 215-781-2500.
April 23rd: Jay Briscoe suffered a deep gash in his head at last Saturday's FIP event when Necro Butcher headbutted a light tube that was pressed against Jay's head. Briscoe just shrugged off the injury and said he would glue it together. Briscoe says that he and Mark will be ready to put the ROH World Tag Team Titles on the line in both St. Paul and Chicago. Mark Briscoe was back in action last weekend with FIP and reported that he felt great after the wild brawl on Saturday against Necro & Mad Man Pondo. Mark was feeling so good that he jumped off the ring truck through two tables that were on top of each other that had Necro and Pondo laying on them. The Briscoes say they will prove why they are the best tag team in the world this weekend. Respect is earned in ROH.

April 23rd: This Friday in St. Paul will be a big night for talent born and bred in the Twin Cities. Many in the ROH locker room and office feel that if anyone can defeat Takeshi Morishima that its Austin Aries, who grew up in the wrestling business in this area. There is an article on the main page of ROHwrestling.com explaining why. The Minnesota Home Wrecking Crew of Lacey & Rain will finally make their ROH debut as a tag team when they take on the undefeated duo of Sara Del Rey & Allison Danger. Lacey & Rain are both from the Twin Cities and this is shaping up as the biggest women's tag team match in ROH history.
