- ROH is full steam ahead toward Los Angeles and our SoCal debut as part of the WrestleReunion 4 convention next weekend in the City of Angels! The huge 8-Man Tag Team main event is worth the price of admission alone as it marks the first time that the Kings of Wrestling will step in the ring with the Briscoes after raining on their championship parade at Final Battle! Don’t forget that the American Wolves also have their sights set on the champs, and the match also marks the final ROH appearance of the Young Bucks for some time! That great match plus Austin Aries versus the legendary Jushin “Thunder” Liger?! The full card for our huge debut is listed at http://www.rohwrestling.com/news/article.aspx?id=2948! If you’re anywhere near Los Angeles, be there to witness it all! Check out www.wrestlereunion.com for ticket information.

- Huge ROH on HDNet news broke earlier in the week when ROH officials announced the formation of the ROH World Television Championship (http://rohwrestling.com/news/article.aspx?id=3193). On February 5th in Philadelphia at the Arena, eight men will begin battle to be crowned the inaugural titleholder. The tournament will unfold over February 5th and 6th until a winner is crowned, all as part of the next set of ROH on HDNet National Television tapings. Officials are nearly completed with seeding the entries to create the first round matchups. We’re happy to announce the first four seeds in the bracket: (8) Rhett Titus, (7) El Generico, (6) Eddie Edwards and (5) Delirious. We will have the top four seeds and the complete first round tournament matchups next week in the ‘Wire.

- “The Big Bang!” explodes as Ring of Honor debuts in the Carolinas on April 3, 2010 at the Grady Cole Center in Charlotte, and we’re proud to announce a working relationship with Ruben Zamora of Masked Republic.

The legendary Blue Demon, Jr. has already been announced, and we’re proud to announce that the “La Reina del Ring”, “El Exotico” Cassandro will also be on hand for “The Big Bang”! Cassandro has dazzled audiences all over the globe with his one-of-a-kind stylings, and he will bring that and more to ROH! What will the “Queen of the Ring” unleash on the Queen City?

- Earlier in the week, it was announced that El Generico will face Davey Richards at the 8th Anniversary Show on February 13th in Midtown Manhattan (http://rohwrestling.com/news/article.aspx?id=3200). Many in ROH feel that a top-quality matchup will snap the string of bad luck Generico has had since Final Battle when Kevin Steen betrayed him. We know that Steen will face a public confrontation by Colt Cabana in New York, and he will face Generico’s long-time friend, the Human Tornado, when ROH debuts in L.A. Steen will have a lot of answering to do in a very short period of time.

- Speaking of the Human Tornado, sources indicate that he has issued a challenge for the “8th Anniversary Show” on February 13th in New York. ROH officials have confirmed that they did receive a match request, but will not divulge who Tornado has challenged until they receive an answer from that competitor. Thus far this individual has declined all comment on the matter. We hope to have more on this next week.

- “Skullkrusher” Rasche Brown has been a monster since debuting in Ring of Honor, and has Prince Nana and Shane Hagadorn frothing at the mouth in hopes of signing this massive individual. Over the past few months, he has been unstoppable in one-on-one and even one-on-two handicap contests. ROH officials have confirmed that Brown wants to debut in New York facing three men! Only the top ROH talent will be a part of the “8th Anniversary Show”, and facing any one man on that stage would be a bigger challenge than any Brown has faced. Facing two would be a near impossible task, but facing three is unheard of. Officials are reviewing the Skullkrusher’s request, and will have a ruling in the coming days.

- In addition to those already announced in matches for the “8th Anniversary Show” we’re happy to confirm the following talents: ROH World Tag Team Champions The Briscoe Brothers, “Skullkrusher” Rasche Brown, “That Young Knockout Kid” Chris Hero, the Dark City Fight Club, Erick Stevens and Joey Ryan of the Embassy, Kenny King, The Necro Butcher, and Eddie Kingston. We’ll have more names and matchups next week!

- ROH officials are in close talks with two talents about returning to Ring of Honor. One of these men has stated that he got too far away from his wrestling instincts during his first run and a return to that form will make him a dominant force in ROH. The other man is sick of being put in a role that disgusts him and has vowed to change the perception of him by unleashing his skills on the ROH roster. Sources indicate that one or both of these men could re-debut at the next ROH on HDNet Television Tapings on February 5th and 6th.

- Don’t forget that Pro Wrestling RESPECT debuts this Sunday, January 24, 2010 at the National Guard Armory in Burlington, New Jersey! All the stars from the ROH Wrestling Academy will be on hand, as well as head trainers Delirious and Daizee Haze. Tickets for this great event are only $8!
