ROH newswire for 7/7/11
0- Tomorrow is the day when Ring Of Honor returns to the Mid-Atlantic for “Tag Team Turmoil” at the Richmond Raceway Complex in Richmond, VA! Fans who attend can expect the best tag team wrestling on the planet as we will see the Contenders Tag Tournament featuring 2 very random first time matches; the American Wolves (Davey Richards & Eddie Edwards) versus the House of Truth (Roderick Strong & Michael Elgin); and the ROH World Tag Team Champions Charlie Haas and Shelton Benjamin defend against El Generico and Colt Cabana! Virginia has a rich history of tag team wrestling and TOMORROW NIGHT Ring Of Honor will continue to bring the hardest hitting tag wrestling anywhere around. We will also see 2 singles bouts when Mike Bennett faces Kenny King and Rhett Titus seeks revenge on Chris Hero. All of this will start at 8pm on the dot so don’t be late! Tickets will be available at the door of the Richmond Raceway Complex tomorrow.
- This Saturday will be a big day as well when we make are highly anticipated return to the Metrolina Tradeshow Expo in Charlotte, North Carolina! Our last event in Charlotte, “Only The Strong Survive,” received rave reviews for the unbelievable card that ROH presented to the Tar Heel State. We wanted to follow up that spectacular card held in January with one that would top it. We feel that we have did that and this Saturday you can bet that the building will be packed to the max to see this spectacle. If there is one match that has everyone buzzing it is El Generico versus Roderick Strong in the Steel Cage! It is no secret to the dangers of a Steel Cage Match but it is also no secret that both Strong and Generico will do whatever it takes to prevail. Generico is fresh off defeating Christopher Daniels for the ROH Television title and Roderick Strong is fresh off of a very successful tour of Japan. The stakes are high and so are the risks! Underneath that huge main event will be the American Wolves (Davey Richards & Eddie Edwards) versus Adam Cole and Kyle O’Reilly for the first time ever. Despite previous tension, the American Wolves have proved to be a true unit. Not only will the ROH Champion be teaming with his best friend again but he will be across the ring from his protégé for the first time in ROH! If you have not already purchased tickets, be sure to come out to Metrolina Tradeshow Expo a little early on Saturday afternoon to purchase your tickets for this big event that will start at 7:30pm.
- ROH officials have finalized the last 2 matches for the card this Friday at the Metrolina Tradeshow Expo. In a one on one contest “The Prodigy” Mike Bennett will battle Andy “Right Leg” Ridge and in a special tag team match the new combination of Cedric Alexander and Caprice Coleman will battle Michael Elgin and Truth Martini’s latest HoT recruit!
- Don’t forget that Charlotte will also be witness to a pair of grudge matches with a unique rule to be enforced. Jay Briscoe vs. Rhett Titus and Kenny King vs. Mark Briscoe and to insure that neither man’s partner gets involved in the bout, their respective partners will be handcuffed to the ring post! These two bouts will be back-to-back so as soon as the first ends, the individuals handcuffed will switch places with their partner and the second match will begin: Mark will be restrained when Jay wrestles, Rhett will be restrained when Kenny wrestles, and vice versa. Each man being handcuffed at ringside allows for a timely transition as well as partner support.
-The last videowire before “Tag Team Turmoil” in Richmond and the live event in Charlotte is now online! See the emotional speech from new ROH World Champion Davey Richards after he won the belt, word from Adam Cole & Kyle O’Reilly prior to the Tag Lottery, and some thoughts from Jay & Mark Briscoe, plus much more!
- Life Intervention Expert Truth Martini has written his first column for ROHwrestling.com (http://www.rohwrestling.com/news/so-sayeth-the-truth/). In the debut of “So Sayeth the Truth,” Martini gives us an update on Christopher Daniels, he discusses the big Steel Cage match coming up this Saturday, he talks about Michael Elgin’s future, and he gives us a little insight on the new recruit. Truth has very interesting views and information and this article is definitely worth reading.
- Also, check out this great article titled “What it takes to be THE BEST: Davey Richards” by Matt Gibson (http://www.rohwrestling.com/news/what-it-takes-to-be-the-best-davey-richards/).
- ROH officials are debating what to do with Steve Corino and Jimmy Jacobs going forward. There is a feeling that they may attract unwanted trouble but there is also a feeling that they can be a great tag team to add to the division. What each of these wrestlers have going for them is the fact that when you look at everything they said leading to “Best In The World 2011” they seemed genuine with good intensions and there is little evidence that they deliberately caused the situation that ultimately occurred.
