-We want to thank everyone who attended our “Battle In The Carolinas” events over the weekend in Spartanburg, SC and Greensboro, NC. Ring of Honor once again defined what professional wrestling is all about and the fans will be talking about both events for a long time. The All-Star 8 man Elimination Tag Match last Sunday at the Greensboro Coliseum Event Center went a total of 80 minutes and was non-stop from start to finish. For more on that match, and how you will be able to see it for yourself, check out the following article.
- Congratulations to ROH TV Champion Jay Lethal who was the last man standing in the Honor Rumble last Saturday at the Spartanburg Memorial Auditorium. With the victory, Lethal will receive a guaranteed shot at the ROH World Championship sometime in early 2012.
- Announced earlier today, Kevin Steen vs. Steve Corino will go down at “Final Battle 2011”! It’s the first time Steen has officially been in Ring of Honor since “Final Battle 2010” when El Generico exiled him from the company, and now he fights for his ROH life once more. Steve Corino, on the other hand, fights to redeem himself for creating the monster that Steen has become over the last two years. “Final Battle” has been a monumental event in the career of both men the last two years, will 2011 prove to me just as memorable? Ticket can be purchased right here or go to GLF.TV to order the iPPV broadcast!
- The feud between the Briscoe Brothers and Wrestling’s Greatest Tag Team heated up even more over the weekend. Both Spartanburg and Greensboro saw all four men tear into each other in some shape or form. There is no doubt that their upcoming Tag Team Title match at “Final Battle 2011” will be fueled by hostility and aggression.
-Speaking of the Briscoes, both Jay & Mark recently answered 10 Questions from the Ring of Honor Fans.
- Although unsuccessful over the weekend, both Cedric Alexander & Caprice Coleman continue to impress both fans and ROH officials alike. The ROH newcomers took two of the best teams in wrestling to the limit in Spartanburg and Greensboro and ROH officials have decided to add them to “Final Battle 2011” on December 23, 2011 live on iPPV from New York City!
- ROH World Champion Davey Richards returned home from Japan today and is expected to start his final phase of training with Team Richards in preparation for “Final Battle 2011.”
- Ring of Honor returns to The National Guard Armory located at 2700 Southampton Road in Philadelphia, PA on January 20, 2012 for “The Homecoming 2012.” Tickets will go on-sale at http://www.ticketalternative.com on Saturday December 10th for the general public, but if you’re a Ringside Member here at ROHWrestling.com, then there will be a special pre-sale for you starting Thursday December 8th! Make sure you keep an eye on ROHWrestling.com for more information on talent announcements and match-ups as it becomes available.
- Now available for immediate viewing on ROHWrestling.com, the latest episode of “Ring of Honor Wrestling” can be seen by all Ringside Members right now. This episode features The Young Buck vs. Future Shock in an encounter that displays just why ROH is the home for true tag team wrestling! Also “The Dominant Male” Tommaso Ciampa in action and the Kevin Steen saga comes to a head he, Steve Corino, and Jim Cornette come face-to-face in the center of the ring.
- In DVD news, “Roderick Strong: Messiah of the Backbreaker” will be available in a 2-Disc DVD set next week at ROHWrestling.com! Featuring 18 of his best matches from 2005-2008, this is your chance to own a collection of the battles that molded Strong into a World Champion.

Re: ROH newswire thread
I get why they are releasing these 'Best Of' DVD's - I really do.
But with the confirmations over the last few weeks that Collinsville, SOTF'11, GBH10 and beyond are going to be released on DVD...I wish they'd get a move on! For those of us who have followed the company for a long time, these Best Of's really don't hold any interest to me.
As I said in another threat, ROH has been missing out on my wrestling dollar for the last 6 weeks or so (outside of Ringside Membership subscription) without any new show releases

Re: ROH newswire thread
Completely agree. I wasn't criticising the approach at all. Just saying that I feel a little excluded! It was more a frustration at why they couldn't have broken up the constant 'Best Of' releases with a few new shows to keep both new and old fans happy!syxxpakk wrote:They might be missing out on yours, but they're - hopefully and ideally - gaining on others who wouldn't have purchased before.McXal wrote:I get why they are releasing these 'Best Of' DVD's - I really do.

December 8th Newswire
- “Final Battle 2011” is approaching fast and it's clear that it will go down in the history books as one of the biggest Ring of Honor events of all time! “Final Battle 2011” takes place on Friday, December 23rd, 2011 from the Manhattan Center (Hammerstein Ballroom) in New York City and it will all air live on iPPV through GoFightLive! Richards/Edwards III will headline this extraordinary night and promises to be a classic. In combat sports it seems as though all great rivalries are summed up by trilogies and this situation is no different. The last time these two men battled, they put on a fighting clinic and many people called it the match of the year. This time “Die Hard” Eddie Edwards walks into the bout as the challenger and Davey Richards walks in as reigning ROH World Champion. Recently, Edwards has been using all of the new techniques taught to him by his trainer Dan “The Beast” Severn. Edwards has specifically been successful with the dragon sleeper by using that move to make both El Generico and Roderick Strong submit last weekend in the Carolinas. Edwards will be going into “Final Battle 2011” with a tremendous amount of momentum as he wrestled the entire 80 minutes and was the sole survivor in the historic 8-Man All-Star Elimination Match last Sunday in Greensboro. Edwards has the heart and drive of a true champion and it is truly anybodies guess who will win the rubber match. Tickets can be bought right here or get it live on iPPV through GoFightLive!
- Announced yesterday, at “Final Battle 2011” on Friday night December 23rd from The Hammerstein Ballroom, fans will see the best tag team wrestling in the world showcased in a Tag Team Gauntlet match featuring ANX vs. Future Shock vs. The Bravados vs. The Young Bucks vs. Coleman & Alexander with a future tag title opportunity at stake! All five teams will randomly draw a number. The first two teams selected will begin the match and once a team is eliminated they will be replaced by another team. The last team standing will be named the winner and earn a future ROH Tag Team title shot.
- Lancelot and Harlem Bravado remain on thin ice here in Ring of Honor solely based on their win/loss record. The Bravado’s are consistently featured on ROH events, however they have been highly unsuccessful. Last Saturday in Spartanburg, SC the Bravados were barely able to get the victory in a match with the debuting Los Ben Dejos. The brothers tainted win last Saturday may have bought them a little more time but last Sunday in Greensboro the Bravados were beat up by a one legged man. Before their match with ANX, the Young Bucks ran out attacking ANX causing Rhett Titus to suffer a severe knee injury. The refs and officials ordered Titus to the locker room to get checked on while Kenny challenged both Bravados to a 2-on-1 match. Eventually, Rhett Titus valiantly returned to the match by hobbling back out on one leg and was able to clean up on Lancelot and Harlem despite the injury. ANX got the win and it is expected that if the Bravado’s don’t impress at “Final Battle 2011” in the Tag Team Gauntlet it may result in an extended hiatus for the Bravados in order to make room for better competition.
- A very interesting name has contacted ROH officials requesting an opportunity to break the undefeated streak of The Embassy’s “Dominant Male” Tommaso Ciampa. ROH officials have listened to that request and are in the process of finalizing the terms and conditions.
- Jimmy Jacobs is now an officially licensed referee under the New York State Athletic Commission (SAC). Jacobs is completely qualified for “Final Battle 2011” and recently participated in training seminars for referees, judges, and inspectors provided by the SAC.
- ROH officials are in the process of setting up Championship matches for early 2012 to the individuals who are entitled to those opportunities. “Unbreakable” Michael Elgin is guaranteed a future ROH World title shot as a result of winning the 2011 “Survival of the Fittest” and Jay Lethal is also guaranteed a ROH World title shot based off winning the Honor Rumble last week in Spartanburg, SC. We also know that Roderick Strong has a definite ROH TV title match in his future since he lasted the time limit in the “Proving Ground” at “Glory By Honor X.”

Re: ROH newswire thread

Re: ROH newswire thread
- Everybody in Ring of Honor is still feeling the after effect from “Final Battle 2011”. It will certainly go down as one of the most memorable nights in the history of ROH. If you missed this extraordinary event then you definitely want to go out of your way to see it. The ROH athletes put it all on the line at the biggest event of the year. Replays of the iPPV broadcast of “Final Battle 2011” are available here.
- The windup last Friday was an amazing battle between two warriors for the most prestigious championship in all of wrestling. Richards-Edwards III lived up to all of the hype and Richards walked away beaten but still ROH Champion. Both Richards and Edwards gave everything they had and deserve all of the credit in the world. Edwards lived up to his “Die Hard” nickname by taking everything in Richards’ arsenal and still fighting back. In the end, Richards was connecting with pinpoint accuracy and landed several hard kicks that Edwards simply couldn’t avoid. Both competitors received medical attention after the bout and each man suffered multiple deep bruises and dehydration.
-Congratulations to the new ROH Tag Team Champions Mark and Jay Briscoe. The Briscoe Brothers are now the 7 time ROH Tag Team Champions and, with the greatest tag team division in all of wrestling, it will be interesting to see how long “Dem Boys” can hold onto the gold.
- Want to play the Ringside Roulette? Find out how!
- ROH returns to the Manhattan Center on March 4th for our “10th Anniversary Show” and we are running a special on Balcony Tickets for a limited time only! For all the details this special deal, click here, and to order the tickets here.
- A very special meeting involving ROH officials is scheduled for tomorrow morning at the ROH Headquarters. There will be a multitude of issues discussed and confirmed as we enter 2012.
- One of the issues on the agenda to address is the use of illegal weapons. ROH officials were appalled at the lack of respect shown for the rules in certain bouts last Friday night.
- Kevin Steen has unfortunately been reinstated here in Ring of Honor. Steen was successful in his No Disqualification massacre against Steve Corino last Friday night and has already made his presence felt in a big way. After Steen pinned Corino he took the mic and said that he came to “Final Battle” to do three things. The first was to destroy Corino and get his job back. Steen then attacked and laid out referee Jimmy Jacobs with a Package Piledriver and said that was Number 2. Steen then looked at Jim Cornette and held up 3 fingers, but before Steen could lay out Cornette, El Generico ran out and made the save. Generico and Steen went at it but Steen eventually gave Generico a low blow and the Package Piledriver off the apron through the ringside table. El Generico was treated by EMT’s and taken to the local hospital in agony. Medics have carried out scans and X-rays which have revealed that Generico has suffered a severe neck injury. We will have more information when we receive it.
- Rhett Titus is another ROH competitor who left “Final Battle” in worst shape then he entered. Titus entered Final Battle with a knee injury that was the result of the Young Bucks attacking him at “Northern Aggression” in Greensboro, NC. Last Friday the Bucks inflicted more damage to Titus’ knee after they relentlessly attacked it forcing the referee to stop the contest earning the Bucks a future title shot and earning Titus another trip to the orthopedic doctor. Titus is scheduled for an appointment tomorrow and we will keep you updated on his progress.
- “That Young Knockout Kid” Chris Hero returned to ROH last Friday at “Final Battle” to answer the Roderick Strong Invitational Challenge to the surprise of everyone! ROH officials are looking to book Hero for another upcoming event if possible.
- Lancelot and Harlem Bravado went into “Final Battle 2011” knowing that there ROH status was up in the air if they didn’t come out of the 5 Team Gauntlet successful. The brothers were unsuccessful like normal and will now be taking an extended hiatus from Ring of Honor. Fortunately, since the Bravados know that they need to improve and receive more training they sent an application to Pro Wrestling NOAH in Japan…and it was accepted! The Bravado Brothers will be going to Japan on January 13th to live and train in the NOAH dojo for 3 full months. This is a huge opportunity for the Bravados and everyone in ROH wishes them the best of luck!
- It's with great excitement that, for the first time, Ring of Honor ventures to the great city of Cincinnati in 2012! On Friday night, February 17th, ROH hits the Taft Masonic Center, located on 315 East 5th Street in Cincinnati, with all the exciting wrestling action you have come to expect from ROH! Tickets for our Cincinnati debut go on sale at www.ticketalternative.com to the general public on Friday December 30th at 10AM, but if you’re a Ringside Member then you get first crack at them on Wednesday, December 28th at 10AM EST!
- Now with “Final Battle 2011” in the books, you can expect all of the matches to be announced soon for our January events in Baltimore, Philadelphia, and Norfolk.

Re: ROH newswire thread
- Be sure to vote for the 2011 ROH Year End Awards here. Voting will last until Wednesday, January 4th, 2012. Hurry now and pick from the choices that ROH officials have selected based on a majority vote.
- Ring of Honor officials held a meeting at the ROH headquarters yesterday and discussed and confirmed many things going into 2012. Officials discussed all three ROH Championships in depth including the upcoming title challengers and the location of these championship bouts. As announced today, ROH Television Champion Jay Lethal will challenge for the ROH World Championship against Davey Richards on 1/20 in Philadelphia. “Unbreakable” Michael Elgin was originally slated for this spot due to winning “Survival of the Fittest 2011,” however Truth Martini used his managerial stroke to persuade officials to hold off on Elgin’s championship match. Also discussed was the ROH World Championship status of both Roderick Strong and Eddie Edwards as we enter 2012. It has been determined that both men will have to get a few more credible wins before they are offered another World Championship opportunity.
- The ROH Television Championship was discussed by officials and it has been determined that the title will only be defended on television and iPPV. This has been the unwritten rule for sometime but officials have now confirmed this regulation with proper documentation. Do not expect the TV title to be defended at live events taped exclusively for DVD. With that said, ROH officials are looking at signing Roderick Strong to a ROH TV title match soon. Strong survived the Proving Ground at “Glory by Honor X” when he battled Jay Lethal to a time limit draw.
- Speaking of the Proving Ground, The All Night Express are in line for a World Tag Team Championship match based off of their pinfall victory over Wrestling’s Greatest Tag Team (before they lost the belts) on the 12/10 edition of “Ring of Honor Wrestling”. ROH officials were looking at signing a huge tag title contest with ANX and the current champions, The Briscoe Brothers in January, however, it is looking like that title opportunity is doubtful given the recent injury to Titus’ knee. Titus underwent surgery for a torn meniscus yesterday and is looking to return as soon as possible, postponing his & Kenny’s title chance until later in the year.
- The men responsible for Rhett Titus’ knee injury are Matt and Nick Jackson, the Young Bucks. A ROH World Tag Team Championship opportunity is also in the future of the Bucks based off their recent win at “Final Battle 2011” in the 5 Team Contenders Gauntlet. By putting ANX on the sidelines, the Bucks definitely have an advantage in the tag division as they set their sites on the biggest prize in all of tag team wrestling.
- Now that he has officially been reinstated in ROH, Kevin Steen has signed a new contract and is confirmed for all of our January events. The addition of Kevin Steen will surely add a layer of unpredictability to ROH as we enter a new year.
- ROH officials have issued heavy fines to various individuals due to their use of illegal objects at “Final Battle 2011.”
- Ring of Honor is excited to hit Baltimore on Saturday, January 7th, 2012 to tape its first “Ring of Honor Wrestling” TV of the new year! Signed yesterday, ROH World Tag Team Champions Jay & Mark Briscoe will battle Roderick Strong & Michael Elgin in a Grudge Tag Team Match based off of being on the losing side of the 8-Man Elimination Tag at “Northern Aggression.” A $10,000 cash prize was on the line for the winning team to split amongst themselves and each team has been putting the blame squarely on the shoulders of the other since losing that night. Now, Jay has suggested a side bet of each team’s paydays on the line. The Hot have yet to respond. Stay tuned to ROHWrestling.com for more news on our upcoming TV Taping and to buy tickets click here.
- Be sure to check out the replay of “Final Battle 2011” to see what everyone is talking about. Last Friday’s extravaganza will go down as one of the most memorable nights in the history of Ring of Honor and if you missed it, then you want to click here to purchase the event in its entirety. The ROH athletes put it all on the line at the biggest show of the year and you won’t be disappointed.

Re: ROH newswire thread
- Charm City is the place to be THIS Saturday when we debut at the Du Burns Arena for our first SBG TV Taping of 2012! We will tape 4 explosive episodes of “Ring of Honor Wrestling” for broadcast! We promise to deliver the best wrestling on the planet to the great fans of Baltimore so bring the family, bring the streamers, and bring the NOISE. Don’t miss the hottest wrestling going today live and in person! To purchase tickets please click here!
-Announced yesterday, this Saturday night in Baltimore it will be ROH World TV Champion Jay Lethal defending his title against “The Prodigy” Mike Bennett with NO TIME LIMIT. This is Bennett’s opportunity to finally back up his boasting, and it’s Lethal chance to put Bennett’s title aspirations (and incessant complaining) to rest…at least for the time being.
- It is no secret that Charlie Haas and Shelton Benjamin showed a completely different side of themselves at “Final Battle 2011.” The Briscoe Brothers always have a knack for bringing out excessive violence in people. It is very intriguing going into Baltimore exactly how Wrestling’s Greatest Tag Team will act in the ring.
- After the event this Saturday, be sure to join us for the ROH After Party at Della Roses located at 1501 S Clinton St in Baltimore!

Re: ROH newswire thread
How about using the money to get more than one wrestler in the stable?- In other Norfolk news, the undefeated “Dominant Male” Tommaso Ciampa has signed to appear on January 21st with The Embassy. Word has it that Prince Nana has new investors that have pumped MORE money into Nana’s Embassy. The new investors have a vested interest in Nana getting everything he needs in order to take Ciampa to the top. We will have more on this soon.
Needs more Jimmy Jacobs. The fact that this guy misses alot of shows and doesn't always wrestle is criminal.- “The Homecoming 2012” on January 20th in Philadelphia, PA will be a very special night and we can now confirm that Steve Corino will give a special in ring interview regarding 2011 and his future plans for 2012. Corino is still recovering from injuries suffered at “Final Battle 2011” and it will be very interesting to see what Corino has to say.

um. they do. there isn't a person in the Embassy that isn't a wrestler, and when Evans finally steps into the ring, he'll have you eating out of his hands.steenisAgod wrote:How about using the money to get more than one wrestler in the stable?- In other Norfolk news, the undefeated “Dominant Male” Tommaso Ciampa has signed to appear on January 21st with The Embassy.
