RING OF HONOR NEWSWIRE: DRIVEN PPV DEBUTS ON INDEMAND, CALIFORNIA & LAS VEGAS DEBUT UPDATES AND MUCH MORE

By ROH Wrestling on 9/27/2007 10:57 AM
September 27th: ROH "Driven" debuts on PPV tomorrow night on iN DEMAND at 10pm. Witness the match of the year candidate everyone is raving about as Bryan Danielson battles Nigel McGuinness plus six other big bouts. You can see a new, free video preview of the bruising Jay & Mark Briscoe vs. El Generico & Kevin Steen bout now at ROHvideos.com and http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yo6_itjV1Os on Youtube. If you are used to watching your PPVs on Sunday, "Driven" will replay on iN DEMAND this Sunday at 8pm. We are really proud of this event and hope you will give ROH a chance at an affordable price. Don't take our word for it, look at what the critics are saying: "...after seeing the recent WWE and TNA television and PPV offerings, it only took five minutes into the first match (of "Driven") where you felt you were getting a product that blows away the big leagues of U.S. wrestling...those who do see it, unless you are so indoctrinated into a different style that you can't accept new stuff, it'll be awfully hard not to like this show a lot....It has significantly better wrestling than TNA minus the headache inducing booking...." - Dave Meltzer - September 26th edition of The Wrestling Observer Newsletter
