ROH: Newswire – 30th/31st January

January 30th: Alex Shelley has picked his match. He will now challenge Bryan Danielson on 2/11 in Long Island!!! This means that Danielson might not even be champion on 2/25. Needless to say, Rave isn’t too happy about this. However, Prince Nana is ecstatic as he only cares about bringing the World Title to The Embassy. He feels that will happen in February as both his top aces have a shot at the belt.

January 30th: There is chaos all over the ROH roster after last weekend’s events in Ohio. We have seen dissension in The Embassy, Generation Next and Lacey’s Angels. We will cover all these stories this week right here in the ROHwrestling.com Newswire. There is no telling what is going to happen next!!!

January 30th: There is major World Title news for February. The Embassy of Jimmy Rave, Alex Shelley & Abyss with Prince Nana won the Trios Tournament 2006 last Friday in Dayton. As a result, each member of The Embassy will get to book themselves in any match they want. Jimmy Rave has selected first and has bumped Alex Shelley from the 2/25 Four Anniversary Show. 2/25 in Edison, NJ will now see ROH World Champion Bryan Danielson vs. Jimmy Rave!!! Shelley is no longer even scheduled for this event as he will now compete in Japan for Zero-One Max. This brings us to our next news item….

January 30th: The main event for ROH’s 3/11 debut at the former ECW Arena has been announced. ROH officials wanted to enter the historic building with a dream match. After some debate, it was decided to put four of ROH’s biggest icons into one match. 3/11 will see ROH World Champion Bryan Danielson team with Samoa Joe to take on Low Ki & Christopher Daniels!!! Get your tickets now at ROHwrestling.com and by calling 215-781-2500. Good ringside seats still remain, but they are selling fast so act now!!!


January 30th: On paper the Christopher Daniels & Low Ki team may sound odd. However, the two had a very competitive match last Friday in Dayton. To the shock of many, Daniels actually offered to shake Ki’s hand after the match. In a mirror image of the first ROH show, Ki walked out on Daniels without shaking hands. However, each athlete showed respect to the other in mic work so there is now a level of respect between Ki and Daniels. We will have more on this later in the week. Will Daniels finally start shaking hands in ROH?

January 30th: It looks like Roderick Strong is in line for another World Title shot after making Bryan Danielson tap out in a tag team match last Friday in Dayton. Negotiations are currently taking place now for when this match will be. It could end up with Strong challenging an Embassy member since Strong won’t receive his shot until at least March or even early April.

January 30th: If you thought last week was a huge week of announcements, this week could be even bigger. ROH officials are currently involved in three major negotiations and if all goes well we should have all those announcements this week.


January 31st: A huge Tag Team Title Match has been signed for the Fourth Anniversary Show on 2/25 in Edison, NJ. Austin Aries & Roderick Strong will defend the belts against AJ Styles & Generation Next stablemate Matt Sydal. Future home releases will see the backstage developments that led to this match. Tickets are on sale now at ROHwrestling.com, by calling 215-781-2500 and at Ticketmaster outlets.

January 31st: ROH Commissioner Jim Cornette had one of his front teeth knocked out of his mouth in a fight backstage last Friday in Dayton. Necro Butcher and Chris Hero tried to crash the Dayton event. Members of the ROH locker room and security dragged them to the back where a huge brawl broke out. Somehow in the brawl Cornette’s tooth was knocked out of his mouth. We don’t believe that Hero or Necro knocked the tooth out since they were under a pile of bodies, but it is because of them that Cornette was even put in a position to have his tooth knocked out. We hope to find out who knocked out Cornette’s tooth after an investigation by ROH officials.


January 31st: Jimmy Yang vs. Jerrelle Clark has been added to the 2/11 event in Long Island. This is an important bout for both these innovative high-flyers. Clark needs a win to earn future bookings. Yang wants to put a win streak together so he can climb into the main event scene of ROH. This promises to be a very exciting bout. We will announce another huge match for this event in tomorrow’s
ROHwrestling.com Newswire.
