Hopefully Generico returns soon, his injury really fucked up the booking for a few weeks.

No interest in Dutt/Jacobs though Dutt/Roddy could be fun if it turns into murderfest from Strong.

May 18th: As announced this morning in the main page article (
To view links or images in this forum your post count must be 20 or greater. You currently have 0 posts.
), the ROH World Title will be defended in New York City as venerable champion, Jerry Lynn, will defend against Austin Aries. Aries has been more cocky and arrogant than ever before, and now he has his sights set on becoming the first two-time ROH World Champion. Can Lynn shut Aries up? Or will Aries show the world that he’s not only A star – he’s THE star. Tickets are on sale now!

May 18th: We are please to announce the first set of talent for the June ROH on HDNet National Television Tapings, taking place on June 19th and 20th at the Arena in South Philly. On June 19th and 20th you will see: Bryan Danielson, Austin Aries, Colt Cabana, ROH World Tag Team Champions - The American Wolves, Jimmy Rave, and D’Lo Brown. More names will be announced as we move forward.

May 18th: The surgery on the injured wrist of Jon Davis was successful, yet more intensive than originally thought. Davis had four bones in his wrist dislocated, and several frayed ligaments. Davis’ doctors had never seen such a severe wrist dislocation. Davis now has several pins holding the repairs in place, and the wrist has been placed in a hard cast. We’ll have updates on Davis’ condition going forward.

May 18th: We are pleased to announce that the talented Shawn Spears will be on hand for a look in Manassas on June 12th. Spears is perhaps best known as “Gavin Spears” in WWE or for his incredible feud with Colt Cabana in Ohio Valley Wrestling. ROH officials have received countless recommendations on Spears, and look forward to seeing him in action in Manassas.

May 18th: Signed for Manassas on June 12th is an incredible match up. Kenny King has shined more than one could have expected on Ring of Honor on HDNet, and his stock has without question continued to rise. Now, under the tutelage of “A Double”, King looks to take his stock higher than ever as he’s signed to face Bryan Danielson on June 12th in Manassas! Can King take that next step, or will “the best in the world” bring him back down to reality?

May 18th: Guido Maritato told people he wanted to face the “toughest” competition in Ring of Honor when he returns on June 13th at the Hammerstein Ballroom. Well, he’ll get “tough” as he has signed to face Jay Briscoe one-on-one! Briscoe was excited about the match, stating, “I know Guido can go, and I know he’s skilled. I’m flattered he wants a shot at me, man. But now Guido gonna have to put his money where his mouth is. Time to man up.”

May 18th: In the next Newswire, we’ll announce the final two TV main events to be filmed on May 29th and 30th in Philly, announce the first talent rosters for June’s live events in Detroit and Chicago, and we hope to have another update on the condition of El Generico.

King/Dragon was good the last time, so hopefully they get a decent amount of time. Guido/Jay is intriguing, but not totally interesting to me. Aries/Lynn should be very good, but it's obvious Aries is gonna completely outshine the champ in everything.

[King Steventon]

Hopefully Aries wins the title.

King/Dragon should be good and I'm glad at the news of bringing in Spears. He has talent and potential, his fued with Cabana in OVW was a lot of fun so I wouldn't mind seeing them go at it again.

I was hoping they would give Guido someone better than Briscoe, but meh.

[Marketh.]

The Wolves/Dragon & Steen match looks all kinds of greatness. Lol at Jerry Lynn at the end, the man's going crazy in his old age.

[King Steventon]

That's a lot of kicks. Edwards still can't cut a promo though.


They need to pull the trigger on the Hero/Kingston fued.

[Marketh.]

I notice this thread gets a lot of views but the only person replying is Steve. Speak up if you're reading/watching these.

May 20th: In case you missed the big news, we now know that Tyler Black has selected to face Jimmy Jacobs in a Steel Cage Match on June 26th in Detroit! The announcement of Black’s choice was made yesterday afternoon in the main page article entitled “Disappointment?”(

May 20th: El Generico contacted ROH officials late yesterday after seeing another orthopedic surgeon for his injured knee. While he has a meniscus tear, and the possibility of surgical repair still exists, doctors have medically cleared Generico to perform! And perform he will! He will be on hand for the May 29th and 30th ROH on HDNet National Television tapings in Philly, and will be involved in the 5th of the 6 main events to be filmed. And revenge will be on his mind as the American Wolves will team with “that Young Knockout Kid” Chris Hero to take on Kevin Steen, the returning El Generico, and KENTA! Tickets are available now at

May 20th: Get ready Manassas, with Generico’s clearance yesterday comes a tremendous tag team match for June 12th. The knee of Generico will be tested as he and Kevin Steen will team to face Nick and Matt Jackson, the Young Bucks! If the Bucks can score the upset in Manassas, they will be well on their way to securing a permanent spot in the ROH tag team division! Tickets are on sale now!

May 20th: The 6th and final television main event has also been signed, and it will pit two of the very best in the world against one another for the third time. The first bout went to a brilliant time limit draw. The second incredible match ended in a double countout. Since then, these men have teamed and wrestled an absolute classic for the World Tag Team Titles. On May 30th in Philly at the Arena it will be Danielson-Black III. And should Black and Danielson defeat the American Wolves on the 29th, there is the intriguing possibility that this match could feature the ROH World Tag Team Champions against each other! One thing is for certain, this match promises to be another can’t miss classic. Get your tickets now at

May 20th: Speaking of Tyler Black, he was set to face Jerry Lynn for the ROH World Title before a lingering neck injury put him on the shelf. Now in Manassas on June 12th, he’s signed once again to face Lynn. But this time, it is going to be a non-title match. “Tyler is a great athlete,” said Lynn. “And on any other occasion I’d gladly put the title up. But I’m preparing for Austin Aries on June 13th. This will be my biggest test on my biggest stage. Tyler will have his chance again, believe me.” While Tyler isn’t happy about the match being non-title, he understands. “I know Jerry is preparing for Aries, just like I’m preparing for Jacobs. In fact, I can help him be ready for Austin. But Jerry better be ready in Manassas, because whether or not we both have other battles on our mind, I’m going to be prepared to beat him. Title or not.” Should Black and Danielson capture the tag titles in Philadelphia, their scheduled matches in Manassas and New York will change.

May 20th: ROH officials are happy to announce that former World Champion, Nigel McGuinness, will be on hand in Manassas and New York. He will make an appearance on both events.

May 20th: In Boston, Jimmy Rave and the Embassy attacked the Necro Butcher and the “crown jewel” disgustingly insulted Necro by repeatedly spitting in his face. In Edison, Rave showed his true colors by doing everything he could to avoid the madman. But now he won’t have the chance to run or hide behind anyone, as signed for New York on June 13th is Jimmy Rave versus the Necro Butcher in singles competition! Prince Nana left the door open by not keeping his eye on an open contract that Rave signed for the date, and word has it that Colt Cabana was the one that noticed it. “I will take care of Boo Boo Cabana in due time,” said the Prince. “He has put my crown jewel in harm ways, but that hillbilly Butcher will not harm a hair on Jimmy Rave’s head in that dump New York City. I will see to it.”

May 20th: The following talents will be on hand when Ring of Honor returns to Detroit on June 26th and Chicago on June 27th: Austin Aries, Davey Richards, Brent Albright, Colt Cabana, D’Lo Brown, Bryan Danielson, Delirious with Daizee Haze, and “Skullkrusher” Rasche Brown. These names are in addition to the previous announcement of Petey Williams, Joey Ryan, KENTA, and “Nature Boy” Ric Flair. More talent and match announcements will be forthcoming.

More KENTA/Davey interaction will surely be great, same with Wolves/Steenerico interaction. It's good that they're close to ending this God-awful Tyler/Jimmy feud, but I wish Pearce would've done something to fix it like, I dunno, GOOD BOOKING. Rave/Necro doesn't really interest me at all.

[King Steventon]

Cage match has more potential than a 1st blood match, but we'll see. Wolves/Hero vs Steenerico/KENTA sounds fucking badass, surely there is no way that match can fail. ROH definately need a bigger focus on main event tag matches and that is atleast a step in the right direction.

[Nick Malone]

TBH, the Manassas show sounds alot better than NYC.

May 22nd: Ring of Honor is happy to announce that Kenny King, Eddie Edwards, Kevin Steen and El Generico, Claudio Castagnoli, Bison Smith, and former World Champion Nigel McGuinness will be in action on June 26th in Detroit and June 27th in Chicago Ridge when ROH swings through the Midwest once again. Already announced for Detroit is a Steel Cage match between Jimmy Jacobs and Tyler Black. In addition, KENTA and “Nature Boy” Ric Flair will be on hand in both cities! More match announcements for this great weekend of events will begin next week in the Newswire.

May 22nd: Austin Aries has been reportedly training like crazy for Jerry Lynn and his shot at becoming the first 2-time ROH World Champion on 6/13 in New York. But before he gets to the Hammerstein, he’s signed on as part of a Four Corner Survival match in Manassas. In this match the three men he’ll oppose are no slouches. He’ll be facing a man who has been on a complete and absolute tear as of late, Roderick Strong. He’ll be facing a man who has come into ROH with a reputation, D’Lo Brown. And he’ll be facing one half of the World Tag Team Champion, Eddie Edwards. Maybe Aries thought a four-way would be an easy night before perhaps the biggest of his career. He thought wrong.

May 22nd: Ring of Honor officials are not sure how Jacobs and Black will fare physically or emotionally after their First Blood Match in New York on June 13th. Even more worrisome is the aftermath of what is sure to be a brutal Cage Match between the two in Detroit on 6/26. Both men are scheduled to be in Chicago on 6/27, but no one is sure if either man will even be able to compete. ROH officials are taking a ‘wait-and-see’ approach when it comes to finalizing matches for Jacobs and Black in Chicago.

May 22nd: Last time the American Wolves crossed paths with Kevin Steen and El Generico in New York, they were on the losing end of things. But that didn’t stop The Wolves from destroying both Steen and Generico afterward. Since then, they took the titles in a ‘Tables are legal’ match, and Generico’s knee – suffering from an injury at the hands of Davey Richards – went out. When Generico informed ROH officials that he was deemed medically fit to wrestle, it became only a matter of time until Steen and Generico would face the Wolves again. That time is June 13th in New York. ROH officials are working with both teams to see what, if any, stipulation should be added to this match.

May 22nd: A nice feature on Colt “Boom Boom” Cabana was recently done by the Chicago Jewish News. The article talks about Cabana’s career, including the upcoming ROH Chicago return on June 27th. Visit

to read the story.

May 22nd: Speaking of Cabana, he has signed on to compete in a Four Corner Survival on June 13th at the Hammerstein. He will oppose Claudio Castagnoli, Bryan Danielson, and D’Lo Brown in New York. Everyone is well aware of the past issues between Danielson and Claudio, notably what happened between the two in NYC some months ago, Cabana was defeated by D’Lo under controversial circumstances at ‘Supercard of Honor IV’, and even Dragon and D’Lo has some heated interaction in Houston. And now Claudio’s association with the Embassy has gotten him on Cabana’s bad side. There are underlying stories abound in this match!

May 22nd: Rumor has it that a major announcement will be made next week in the newswire regarding the World Title Match on June 13th in New York.

Both fourways sound great, as does another Steenerico/Wolves match. I imagine this feud will end in a Ladder War II, but I don't think they're close to ending it already, so it must be some other stipulation. Maybe Best 2 out of 3 Falls, since that was meant to happen before Generico got too injured. Nigel returning soon shall be good.

May 26th: As announced this morning in the main page article

, the American Wolves will face Kevin Steen and El Generico in a submissions match on June 13th in New York! Kevin Steen has been rabid at the thought of using tables, chairs, ladders, basically anything to defeat – to DESTROY – the Wolves, but Richards and Edwards see it differently. “WE call the shots,” said Edwards. “We wear the gold. So Steen can cry about whatever he wants, it’s our way or no way.” Judging their comments in the article, it seems obvious that the Wolves feel they can exploit Generico’s injured knee and use the weakness to gain a sure victory. Steen and Generico are fighting uphill in this match for sure. Can the underdog overcome the odds? Can Generico protect that injured knee against bloodthirsty Wolves?

May 26th: Signed for June 26th in Detroit is a very important match for former ROH World Champion Nigel McGuinness. In Houston, he was scheduled to tag with Claudio Castagnoli to battle Brent Albright and Blue Demon, Jr. But Nigel’s health prevented him from participating in that match, and Castagnoli was none too happy. Claudio took to attacking Nigel from behind, adding insult to his already apparent injury. Now Claudio will have to look Nigel in the eye and answer for his actions.

May 26th: Signed for July 25th in Toronto is a grudge match that has brewed since “Northern Navigation”. Chris Hero versus Lance Storm. Need we say anything more? We’ll have Storm’s opponent for the event on July 24th soon here in the Newswire.

May 26th: Last week in the Newswire, Prince Nana stated that he and the Embassy would “take care of Boo Boo Cabana in due time”. That due time is apparently June 27th in Chicago. Over the weekend, Nana contacted ROH officials and he has challenged Cabana to face the Embassy in a Street Fight! Representing the Embassy will be Joey Ryan and Bison Smith, with their associate, Claudio Castagnoli. “You tell that Cabana that his time of shenanigans is over. He put the Crown Jewel in harm’s way of that filthy Necro Butcher in New York, now he will pay for his mistake.” As of press time, Cabana hadn’t selected his partners, but once he does we’ll announce them right here in the Newswire.

May 26th: Ring of Honor is happy to announce that the ROH World Title match on June 13th between Jerry Lynn and Austin Aries will have two special guests in the ringside area. Former ROH World Champion Nigel McGuinness has requested that President Cary Silkin allow him to sit ringside and watch the match. This will be the first defense by Jerry Lynn since Houston that Nigel will see, and he reportedly “wants the best seat in the house to watch the man that dethroned him”. Silkin hesitated in granting the request, not knowing what intentions McGuinness may have, and consulted Ambassador Ric Flair on the matter. As a result of those conversations, ROH President Cary Silkin has appointed Ambassador “Nature Boy” Ric Flair as the special guest referee for the contest. Flair and McGuinness had some choice words for each other back at “Stylin’ and Profilin’”, and Silkin feels confident that Flair can neutralize anything that Nigel may have up his sleeve.

Storm vs Hero = great
Steenerico vs Wolves in a Submission match = great
Nigel vs Claudio = great? Is Nigel already fully recovered?
Embassy vs Cabana streetfight = eh, not so much. Not too bothered about it at all. I'm wondering when Cabana is going to get some real competition in his return.
