ROH Newswire 8/7

[J-man]

August 7th: Get ready Chicago! Tempers, bad blood, and revenge are on the mind of Mark Briscoe as his day has come. Ever since Final Battle 2008 when the Davey Richards and Eddie Edwards laid waste to his knee, he has dreamed of redemption. Through surgery and a brutal rehab, Mark has battled every step of the way, and finally is at a level where he can make his move. Signed for September 19th in Chicago, it will be the American Wolves versus the Briscoe Brothers! Davey and Eddie couldn’t resist adding a heap of controversy onto the match, with Richards saying, “I’m glad the match is signed, boys, because the result will be the same. Last time it was Mark’s knee. Well maybe this time it’s Jay’s. Maybe it’s an elbow. Maybe a neck. It doesn’t matter. What does matter is that you haven’t proven yourselves to us or to anyone else since Piano Teeth came back. Therefore, the ROH World Tag Belts will NOT be on the line. Come and get it, boys. The hunt it STILL on.”

August 7th: We’re happy to report that the surgery to remove the huge blood clot from Brent Albright’s leg was a 100% success. Doctors in Tulsa had to remove the clot in pieces from around his shinbone and did so with no complications. Albright’s leg will be immobilized for two days, but he insists that will WILL be in Philly next weekend, and he WILL put an end to the feud between he and Claudio Castagnoli. “Nothing could stop me from climbing in that cage with that European bastard,” said Brent. “I don’t care if the doctors say no, or if my leg is now a target. It won’t matter. Nothing could stop me from putting an end to this.”

August 7th: A few weeks back, we told you that up-and-coming hip hop artist, Kidd Russell, filmed a music video with Ring of Honor as the subject. His outstanding release, “Rush”, has been picked up by MTV and has been featured on “America’s Best Dance Crew”, and the brand new music v ideo has been completed. Many stars from ROH are featured in the video, including Colt “Boom Boom” Cabana! Check out the teaser trailer at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TB8vTMYt-pU. The full video debuts on August 22nd, coinciding with the single becoming available on iTunes! Also, to hear Kidd Russell and Colt Cabana talk about why ROH was involved in this project, check out http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L49K7q1Cjlg.

August 7th: With the Tag Team scene in ROH hotter than ever before, we’re happy to announce that signed for Dayton on September 18th is a clash between two of the newest teams in ROH. Christin Able and Josh Raymond, with Truth martini – collectively known as the House of Truth – made a splash in their ROH debut against Steen and Generico. Now, they’ll do battle with a team that made their impact felt earlier in 2009 before injury stepped in. Jon Davis and Kory Chavis manhandled seemingly everyone that got in their way before Davis suffered a horrific wrist injury. Now, fully heale d, the Dark City Fight Club is more determined than ever to plant their seed in ROH. It’ll be the House of Truth versus the Dark City Fight Club on 9/18 in Dayton! Which team will continue to rise?

August 7th: ROH staff writer Holden McNeil has an interesting look at ROH World Champion Austin Aries’ potential challengers at http://www.rohwrestling.com/news/article.aspx?id=2938. With Aries set to “give someone the chance of lifetime” by drawing his next challenger from a hat on HDNet, McNeil looks at the stars in ROH that could possibly take Aries to the limit. Whether or not they are actually in the hat remains to be seen.

August 7th: Signed for Chicago on September 19th is a clash of two men that have been entangled in one way or another for some time. Claudio Castagnoli has been battling Brent Albright for months on end, and with that feud coming to an end he made some remarks about an occurrence at the last ROH Chicago event. “Little known fact,” said Castagnoli. “The fan that got laid out during our street fight last time in Chicago was Colt Cabana’s father. ” Mr. Cabana was treated at the scene by medical personnel and released in good condition with minor bruising. Castagnoli continued, “Now one can speculate, was it an accident? Maybe. Maybe it wasn’t.” Cabana upon hearing these remarks was quick to request a match with Claudio. “Look, everyone knows my Dad took a spill. It was accidental. Maybe Claudio’s just jealous because he isn’t in Kidd Russ’ video, but either way, once Brent finishes him, I’ll play around with the leftovers.”
