I Know, TJ is one of the better wrestlers in the company, hopefully somewhat of a minor push isn't too far around the corner. Because the roster is shallow and for some reason they love booking rematches over and over again.

TJ loses, but he never jobs. He gets to look good in all the matches he's in.

Luckily he can look good in only 7 minutes, very few guys can do that.

Which is exactly why he should be winning more matches. He could easily walk into the TV title picture once Ciampa wins it, he makes his opponent look great.

- The Du Burns Arena in Baltimore will be rocking once again on February 4th for our next set of “Ring of Honor Wrestling” TV Tapings! We are excited to bring the HUGE ROH World Title rematch between Davey Richards & Jay Lethal to The Charm City and it is guaranteed to be a classic! In addition, three big matches were announced yesterday, the first pitting “Unbreakable” Michael Elgin, against the very man he eliminated to win “Survival of the Fittest 2011,” Kyle O’Reilly! The second, in a rematch of their “Northern Aggression” bout from 12/4, TJ Perkins will battle “The Prodigy” Mike Bennett. Finally, in another rematch from “Northern Aggression”, The Young Bucks will take on Caprice Coleman & Cedric Alexander in a Tag Team Challenge Match! Expect the best wrestling on the planet to blow away Baltimore once again and tickets for these “Ring of Honor Wrestling” TV Tapings are available here.

- Announced yesterday, Roderick Strong & Eddie Edwards will meet in a No Holds Barred Match on February 17th when ROH hits Cincinnati for the first time! This match was supposed to go down at “The Homecoming 2012” but a staph infection prevented Edwards from competing. These two former champs will now get their chance to tear into one another when we return to Ohio, and you can get your tickets now!

- Now available in a 2-Disc DVD Set, “Battle In The Carolinas”! Featuring the complete 8-Man Elimination Tag from “Northern Aggression”, the Honor Rumble for a World Title shot at “Southern Defiance”, El Generico vs. Eddie Edwards, and a whole lot more, you can get your copy now!

- “Wrestling’s Worst Nightmare” Kevin Steen continues to make his awful presence felt since returning to in-ring action at “Final Battle 2011.” Steen continued his rampage last weekend in Philadelphia at “Homecoming 2012” when he attacked the already injured, Rhett Titus. After his bout with Kenny King, Steen continued to beat on King until the courageous Titus came in on one leg to save his partner. This eventually backfired and Steen attacked Titus’ knee. Unfortunately we have received word that Titus’ recovery process will take even longer now following the attack.

- In other Steen inflicted injury news; this weekend’s edition of “Ring of Honor Wrestling” will have an update on El Generico.



- Speaking of this week’s edition of “Ring of Honor Wrestling”, it premieres this Saturday and is loaded with great action including Caprice Coleman & Cedric Alexander facing ROH World Champion Davey Richards & his protégé Kyle O'Reilly! Tommaso Ciampa will be in action facing TJ Perkins and everyone’s favorite lumberjack, Grizzly Redwood, makes his broadcast television debut. To see if ROH airs in your area click here.

- The ROH World Champion continues to dominate not only in the ring but also in the gym. Davey Richards has applied his New Year’s resolution everyday to up his fighting game to combat with all of the potential challengers in 2012. We all know that Jay Lethal will get another shot on February 4th in Baltimore but “Unbreakable” Michael Elgin is also sitting on a title match to be determined. Also, former champions Roderick Strong and Eddie Edwards are looking to get the right win in order to put them back into contention, and it has also been clear that Kevin Steen’s number one goal is to get a shot at the most prestigious title in all of wrestling.

- Ring of Honor Wrestling & CHIKARA both are excited to announce a special ticket deal we have put together for our fans in the Chicago area looking to attend our joint "Synergy" event! While quantities last, and available exclusively at ROHWrestling.com, we will be offering a Ticket Combo Deal for admission into both CHIKARA's "Hot Off The Griddle" afternoon event and ROH's "Unity" evening event on April 28th at the Frontier Fieldhouse! This deal will save you a total of $10 off the price of admission to BOTH EVENTS, and you can combine any ROH Reserved or GA ticket with your CHIKARA ticket to *ensure* you catch the entire day of the best professional wrestling anywhere around. Tickets, including the limited quantity combo pack, are ON SALE NOW. To read more about “Synergy” click here.

– The 2-Day extravaganza "Showdown in the Sun” emanating from the War Memorial Auditorium in Ft. Lauderdale, FL on March 30th and 31st will be an incredible weekend of events with the ROH World Championship to be defended on both nights! All of our fans watching WTCN MyTV 15 in West Palm Beach as well as our iPPV audience around the world are ready for the spring break of pro wrestling!!! Both mega events will be available on iPPV and tickets are available here.

-The latest edition of “Ring of Honor Wrestling” is now available right here to all GA Members and it is absolutely FREE! This is our first episode taped from Baltimore and the atmosphere in the Charm City is great! This week’s episode features Young Buck Matt Jackson taking on All Night Express member Kenny King in a grudge match. Also in action, “Die Hard” Eddie Edwards faces Mike Mondo and Roderick Strong with Truth Martini battles the “Cuban Crippler” Ricky Reyes.

- Ring of Honor is excited to return up North in May to the great country of Canada! More details soon.

-Expect news and matches for our “10th Anniversary” to be announced next week! Celebrate this milestone event with us on March 4th in New York City or on iPPV for only $9.99!

I'm going to predict Davey vs. Eddie vs. Roddy for SITS, I'm so tired of these three guys wrestling each other.

If you need proof, just look at the current state of Steve Corino, Jimmy Jacobs and El Generico. All of them are still feeling the consequences of having gotten in my way at Final Battle and that was one night of work for me. I can't stress this enough, NOTHING will stop me. I will keep on going until I get Davey Richards in the ring, in a match for the ROH World title. And when I do...I WILL make history. I WILL put the wolf down, for good.”

Love the sale - first since I got paid for the month. Picked up SOTF'11, GBH10, Battle In The Carolinas and ROH on HDNet V10.

In a slightly mean way - other than getting the archive of ROH on SBG shows, I've not really seen many benefits to being a Ringside Member as the '15% of Merch' thing only works when I want to buy stuff (and since I've joined I've only bought Death Before Dishonor 9 & Gateway To Honor)...but 25% of 4 DVD's/5 shows was a pretty awesome deal.

Incidentally - if there's anyone on here who likes PWG, check out the 'clearance' section of the ROH store. They have TONS of PWG DVD's (including some out of print ones) for $10 (before sale prices)

Interested who the "surprising name" is. Thinking about guys who are out there and possibly available...

Homicide?
Alex Koslov?
Colt Cabana?
Harry Smith?

Who else is out there and available? I'm not thinking Japanese here obviously...

Lesnar to take out Steen for his use of the F-5? If only! I think only Harry Smith is a surprising name out of those four and I would be all for him coming in, maybe it's JoMo? God I hope not.

I wouldn't call Cabana or Homicide a surprise considering they've had recent runs in ROH. The other two are decent shouts but my initial though was also John Morrison.

I wouldn't mind seeing him but not sure he'd be worth it considering the reports about his wage demands!

Would love to see Koslov in ROH, Smith not too much, I cant see what he would bring to ROH that Edwards, Strong and Richards dont bring anyway.

Havent seen much of Morrison recently so cant comment. Cabana Id love too see back, Homicide no (unless its with The Rottweilers, Is Low-Ki a possibility or is that now never likely to happen?)

I'm not getting my hopes up over this 'mystery guest star' thing. Honestly, I always do and it's always a disappointment. Until it's Low Ki, I don't think I'll ever really be satisfied in truth - and unless something drastic can be worked out between ROH and DGUSA that's further away from happening now than ever. I know that's a bad outlook, but honestly I am a huge mark for the guy and have been for a long time. As someone that lived through his major 'shock comeback' at Reborn Completion, I can tell you that night was off the hook on the forums.

Then you look around at who's available and who knows. Alex Koslov would be great if it's a long term thing - less exciting if it's a one-off. John Morrison is so not worth the money he's (reportedly) asking to work indy dates. I'd actually be disappointed if ROH were blowing that sort of cash on talent for one-off dates whilst continuing to run a wafer-thin, endless rematch main roster we're on at the moment.

Is Kenny Omega busy that weekend? I'd love him back for a weekend if possible? Or maybe more Chikara talent?

To (sort of) work it into storylines, I'd love it to be Paul London. I know his post-WWE ringwork and physical condition gets a bum deal, but his promos, interviews and general personality is absolutely ridiculous. Him doing a short Peligro Abejas run in ROH could be the perfect way to work Generico back into proceedings (his friend convinces him to return to the ring and work some matches). Plus Steen could then get more heel heat by ending the temporary London return by 'injuring him' on his way out etc...

For all the multitude of possibilities above, I'd settle for getting a couple of NOAH guys over for the weekend as it's been a long time since any of them have been in ROH. Or, as more of a longshot - Zack Sabre Jr??

- This week on "Ring of Honor Wrestling", the ROH World Tag Team Champions Jay & Mark Briscoe go at it against The House of Truth's Roderick Strong & Michael Elgin. No belts are on the line, no Proving Ground here, this one is all about the money as each team is putting up $5,000 of their own cash! Also, it's been building since before "Final Battle 2011", and now Eddie Edwards & Kyle O'Reilly will go one-on-one inside the squared circle. They share a common bond in Davey Richards, but that bond is also what's at the center of their issues. Which man will get his hand raised in victory in the end? Also Mike Mondo will be in action, and a whole lot more goes down this week on "Ring of Honor Wrestling". Check the listings here to see if ROH airs in your area.



- Check out the latest “Decade of Honor” available here. This week we have recapped Samoa Joe’s championship reign, the legendary CM Punk-Raven feud, and the Briscoes dominance in the ROH tag team division. We will continue to look back into ROH’s history next week as we lead up to our 10th Anniversary on March 4th!



- Speaking of our 10th Anniversary, we expect to announce most of the matches next week for this milestone event and it is sure to be a very special night to all wrestling fans! Along with the wrestlers already signed to appear, just signed to compete are “Wrestling’s Worst Nightmare” Kevin Steen, “The Prodigy” Mike Bennett with Maria Kanellis & Brutal Bob, “Unbreakable” Michael Elgin, and “Technical Lightning” TJ Perkins. It all goes down on Sunday afternoon, March 4th in New York City and we invite you to join us live in attendance from the Hammerstein Ballroom! If you cannot make it to NYC on March 4th than you have the opportunity to witness history for only $9.99 on iPPV ! Mark down Sunday, March 4th at 5PM and make sure you celebrate with us! Order your tickets right here before they are all gone!

-The Eddie Edwards-Kyle O’Reilly situation is heating up and, as stated above, both men will face off on “Ring of Honor Wrestling” this weekend. It is clear that Edwards is highly annoyed by O’Reilly. “It’s getting to a point that is unbearably obvious,” explained Edwards, “Kyle preaches loyalty and respect but he doesn’t practice what he preaches. Imagine the potential of Future Shock if O’Reilly invested as much effort into his team with Adam Cole as he invests into swinging on Davey’s nuts. Kyle wants to be an American Wolf and I have no problem with that, but does he have what it takes? I don’t see him at that level but Adam Cole on the other hand has what it takes to rise to the top.”
