Everyone will be talking about the Ladder War pitting The Briscoes vs. Kevin Steen & El Generico for the ROH World Tag Team Titles. This match was so dangerous and so risky that ROH officials have decided to ban the Ladder War from ROH. The "Man Up" PPV will feature the first and last Ladder War in ROH. Witness it for yourself this Saturday. Make sure to check out the teaser at www.ROHvideos.com to see what the Ladder War is all about.

November 27th: This has been an interesting year for ROH as new talent has risen to the top. ROH officials decided to hold a trilogy of tournaments in the second half of 2007 to see who would grab the top spots. "Race To The Top" and "Survival Of The Fittest" were both big successes as the first two tourneys. Now the trilogy will be completed this Saturday. "Trios Tournament 2007" is all set for December 1st in Chicago. The first round matches will see:
-Jack Evans, Ruckus & Jigsaw vs. Jimmy Jacobs, Tyler Black & The Necro Butcher
-BJ Whitmer, Brent Albright & Adam Pearce vs. Davey Richards, Roderick Strong & Rocky Romero
-Jay & Mark Briscoe & Claudio Castagnoli vs. Chris Hero, Tank Toland & Bobby Dempsey
-The winners of these three matches will collide in the first ever 9-man, 3-team Scramble. Each member of the winning team will get to book themselves in any match they want on a future show. This promises to be one of the most action packed and memorable bouts in ROH history!!!

November 27th: There has been a lineup change for "Final Battle 2007" on 12/30 in Manhattan. The six man pitting No Remorse Corps vs. The Vulture Squad is off due to some lineup reshuffling. All six individuals in that match will still be in action in Manhattan. Already signed is what looks to be a unique and wild match as Jack Evans takes on The Necro Butcher!!! We will have more news on this show in the upcoming weeks.

November 27th: The Briscoes & Claudio Castagnoli practiced together this week to prepare for this Saturday's tournament in Chicago. They had some amazing matches against each other so now they are perfecting what they can do together as a team. The Briscoes are saying that they will book themselves into the craziest match possible against The Age Of The Fall if they win the tourney. Castagnoli has his eyes set on another World Title shot. With this much on the line and this much talent on one team it looks like Claudio and The Briscoes will be in good shape to win the power to book themselves in any match they want in the future.
