ROH (Ring Of Honor - www.rohwrestling.com)

July 24th: It is going to be a very unpredictable night in Edison, NJ when ROH returns to the Inman Sports Center this Saturday. You will see the final eight participants in the "Race To The Top" tournament fight it out in three rounds of single elimination action. There will be no time limits and there must be a winner in all the "Race To The Top" tournament matches. The best will rise to the top in Edison. The brackets are listed in yesterday's ROHwrestling.com Newswire so you can try to predict the tournament and what matches will take place in Edison. The only sure thing is that you will definitely see the top talent in some unique matches. The first round contests will take place this Friday in Long Island. Save 20% on tickets to both shows until Wednesday night at ROHwrestling.com.
July 24th: There will be two non-tournament matches on Saturday in Edison. They will both provide a lot of action. There will be a Six Man Mayhem with the competitors that do not advance past the first round of the tournament (graduates of the ROH Wrestling School might also be added to this Six Man Mayhem). The other match will be very interesting as it will be the $10,000 Tag Team Challenge. Captains will be selected after the Long Island show. The Edison event will see each captain pick three team members. The two teams will then compete in an eight man tag and the winning team will split a $10,000 prize. There is no telling who will be on what team, but they will have to cooperate with that much money on the line. The captains will get to pick anyone who is not active in the "Race In The Top" tournament. The talent pool for this bout already contains ROH World Tag Team Champions Jay & Mark Briscoe, Austin Aries, Roderick Strong, Bryan Danielson, Nigel McGuinness, Jimmy Rave, Shane Hagadorn, Mitch Franklin, Gran Akuma, Rhett Titus, Alex Payne and Ernie Osiris. Many more top names will be available after the eliminations in the tournament. This promises to be a once in a lifetime match.
July 24th: Check the main page of www.ROHwrestling.com and the ROHwrestling.com message board Saturday in the AM for more information on the matches that night in Edison as well as the captains for the $10,000 Tag Team Challenge. ROH officials will put this information on the site as soon as they arrive home from the Long Island event.
