The Amazing Red returning to ROH at 10th Anniversary Show

JPeck — Wed, 22 Feb 2012 19:45:12 +0000

He was in the first official match at “The Era of Honor Begins”, battling Jay Briscoe in a hard-hitting & high-flying exhibition that set the tone for what was to come. He actually pulled double-duty that night, competing in a Ultimate Aerial Elimination Match later on teaming with The SAT in a losing effort against Quiet Storm & Brian XL with their trainer Mikey Whipwreck serving as the guest referee. He is The Amazing Red!

He had the honor of teaming with Eddie Guerrero at “A Night of Appreciation”, battled Xavier & Low Ki at “Road to the Title”, innovated aerial combat in ROH throughout the early years, reigned as one-half of the Tag Team Champions alongside AJ Styles, and actually never lost the belts as Red suffered a serious injury that forced ROH officials to strip he & AJ of the belts. The last time he battled inside the ROH ring was in a Six Man Mayhem at the “At Our Best” event against Teddy Hart, Sonjay Dutt, Jimmy Rave, Jack Evans & Mark Briscoe. He was a trendsetter, and now, as ROH celebrates its tenth anniversary, he is coming back to the fold!

At the “10th Anniversary Event” on March 4th in NYC, the original high-flyer of ROH will team with “Technical Lighting” TJ Perkins, his present day equivalent, to take on former ROH World Champion Roderick Strong & “Unbreakable” Michael Elgin.

“The House of Truth has no issues with you Red, nor with you TJ Perkins.” Said Truth Martini, “That being said, I must warn you that this is 2012 and we are the HoT. This is our time and very soon Ring of Honor will be our company as both my men have title certainties in their future. This anniversary will be remembered as the night the HoT demonstrated why we are the most dominant force in ROH’s history; as individuals, and as a team. We welcome your efforts TJ, Red, and we look forward to the challenge you present, but it is an inevitability that you will fall to the Messiah of the Backbreaker and The Unbreakable One. So sayeth the Truth!”

No issues, no grudges, just four men going out there to put on the absolute best wrestling contest they can! It’s the return of The Amazing Red as he teams with TJ Perkins to face off with Strong & Elgin! It all goes down at the “10th Anniversary Event” on March 4th at The Hammerstein Ballroom! Get your tickets right here or order it live on iPPV here!

WGTT vs. Briscoe Brothers added to Wrestlemania weekend events

JPeck — Wed, 22 Feb 2012 19:07:37 +0000

This past weekend on “Ring of Honor Wrestling” TV, ROH World Tag Champion Mark Briscoe went one-on-one with Charlie Haas with his brother Jay handcuffed at ringside. Where was Shelton Benjamin? He was sitting at home on suspension after refusing to pay his fine for viciously assaulting the Briscoes with a chair a few weeks prior.

The younger Briscoe came out on top in the battle but it was Haas who won the war that night because, after losing, the former tag team champion took advantage of Jay’s restraints and assaulted Mark with a chair shot right across the head. As cocky as ever, Charlie took money out of his own pocket, paid the $5,000 fines for both he and Shelton, and walked away quite pleased with himself.

“We can play that f****** game Charlie.” said an angry Jay, “Hell we been playing that game for years here in ROH. We ain’t never given a damn about fines and you best believe that next time we get our hands on you boys there’s gonna be some hefty dues to pay that night. Ring of Honor ya’ll better make this happen, and it damn sure better happen soon cause Charlie and Shelton need an ass whuppin like nobodies business. Do it on TV, do it on pay per view, hell do it in my damn backyard for all we care, titles, no titles, just best make sure you put those two ***** in the same ring as me and Mark ASAP before this **** gets worse, and you know Dem Boys can make this plenty worse.”

Well with a title defense against The Young Bucks scheduled for the “10th Anniversary Event” on March 4th in NYC this fight would obviously have to wait for a later date, but not that much later. On Saturday March 31st, as part of our second day of “Showdown in the Sun”, it will be ROH World Tag Team Champions Jay & Mark Briscoe vs. Wrestling’s Greatest Tag Team, Charlie Haas & Shelton Benjamin! And should The Briscoes retain their titles in NYC, than this contest will be fought for the ROH World Tag Team Titles!

It’s The Briscoes vs. WGTT in Ft. Lauderdale on 3/31! Don’t miss out on “Showdown in the Sun” when ROH shows the world why we are the absolute best professional wrestling on the planet! Tickets for the event are available right here at Ticketmaster or you can order the event live on iPPV via GoFightLive here!

Papa Briscoe returns to the ring to take on The House of Truth in Baltimore

JPeck — Wed, 22 Feb 2012 19:05:46 +0000

Episode 21 of “Ring of Honor Wrestling” TV that aired on 2/11/12 saw Roderick Strong & Michael Elgin, with Truth Martini in their corner, take on The Briscoes in a $10,000 Challenge Match. Each team put up $5,000 of their own cash stemming from their loss at “Northern Aggression” in the All Star 8 Man Tag Team Match in which a $10,000 pay day was allotted to the winning team.

During the course of the bout, Jay ended up outside the ring and Martini, taking advantage of the referee being elsewhere, threw powder into his eyes. Jay quickly went to the back to clean out his eyes, while Strong & Elgin beat Mark down in the ring. Jay returned, now brandishing a baseball bat, and hit both Strong & Elgin with it drawing a disqualification win for the HoT. Regardless of that outcome the Briscoes took both checks and were happy to be $5000 richer…seemingly.

“Man that was one happy day for the Briscoe family.” said Mark, “Called up the Big Man, told him we got the ten grand, and he said he was heading out as soon as we cashed that check to pick up a new Manure Spreader with a 50-Bushel capacity! You got any idea how much that thing costs?”

Unfortunately for Papa Briscoe when they went to cash the check, they discovered Truth Martini had stopped payment, leaving the Briscoes well short of making their purchase with that extra cash that they were expecting.

“To say the Big Man was pissed wouldn’t do it justice.” said Jay, “I ain’t even said the words that came outta his mouth when we left the bank, so when Big Man said he wanted to kick Truth’s ass for this, well how could I not give him my phone to call up Ring of Honor?”

And that is exactly what Papa Briscoe did, demanding ROH officials give him a match with Truth so he could “…beat $5,000 out of that *****************”. It wouldn’t be the first time he entered the ring, stepping in alongside his sons to fight The Kings of Wrestling & Shane Hagadorn at “Final Battle 2010”, but regardless ROH officials were not going to put him in the ring one-on-one with Truth. So a compromised was reached…

On March 3rd in Baltimore, when ROH returns for another set of “Ring of Honor Wrestling” TV Tapings, it will be Roderick Strong, Michael Elgin, & Truth Martini facing Mark, Jay, & Papa Briscoe in a 6 MAN TAG MAIN EVENT! This match will NOT be taped for television broadcast, going down exclusively for the fans in attendance that night, and you can expect the whole Briscoe Family to be in the building to root on their family against HoT!

Come join the Sandy Fork family as the ROH World Tag Team Champions Jay & Mark Briscoe team with their dad to battle Roderick Strong, Michael Elgin, AND Truth Martini! Tickets are available now!

Rise & Prove tag tournament winners to face ROH Tag Champs in Florida

JPeck — Wed, 22 Feb 2012 19:04:16 +0000

They are Shane Haste & Mikey Nicholls, two standouts from the Australian continent who spent a great deal of time training in the Pro Wrestling NOAH dojo and touring alongside the likes of Marufuji, KENTA, Shiozaki, and former ROH World Champion Morishima. They are also the men who beat two other tag teams in Cincinnati as part of the “Rise & Prove” Tag Tournament and earned the right to step onto The Proving Ground against the ROH World Tag Team Champions.

“It’s the opportunity of a lifetime mate.” said Nicholls, “And thanks go out to Ring of Honor officials for given me and Shane the chance to prove ourselves in Cincinnati. Now comes the big test for us, the one that all our time in the NOAH dojo and on the road in Japan prepared us for, this Proving Ground. Whenever it goes down, wherever we get that chance, whoever it’s against, we will make the most of it earn a match for the ROH Tag Titles. Taking this one step at a time; the first one was in Ohio, earning that shot is the next step, then….”

Well that opportunity will come pretty quickly for Haste & Nicholls as they have now been invited to “Showdown in the Sun” on March 30th when Ring of Honor travels to Ft. Lauderdale for the first time ever! That night, live on iPPV, they will get the Proving Ground match they’ve are waiting for! The only lingering question is just who they will face: The Briscoes or The Young Bucks? Those two teams will meet on March 4th at the “10th Anniversary Event” with the ROH World Tag Belts on the line and the winners will meet Haste & Nicholls at The War Memorial.

If the Australian duo have their druthers, based on the video included below, they certainly hope the Briscoes make it to Ft. Lauderdale.

Can Haste & Nicholls earn that title opportunity against ROH’s benchmark team? They already proved themselves once in Cincy, but like Nicholls said, that was just step one. Now they face the most decorated tag team in ROH history with the chance to earn a title shot on the line. The Briscoes vs. Haste & Nicholls, March 30th, “Showdown in the Sun”!

Tickets are available here and if you can’t be there live, then make sure you order it on iPPV with GoFightLive right here.
