June 16th Newswire

- Perhaps the biggest wrestling weekend of the summer is rapidly closing in and you still have the opportunity to join Ring of Honor LIVE!! This Friday night, ROH returns to the Buffalo area with a live event in Hamburg, New York at the Fairgrounds! Fans of ROH on Facebook can once again reap the benefits and take $5 off any ticket purchased at the door in Buffalo this Friday night with the ROH Facebook Fan Coupon. Check out http://www.facebook.com/ringofhonor, become a fan, and take advantage of the savings!! Then, ‘Death Before Dishonor VIII’ explodes into the Ted Reeve Arena in Toronto, Ontario!! Select tickets for DBD8 are still available at, and don’t forget that you can join us LIVE WORLDWIDE via iPPV through our friends at GoFightLive! You don’t want to miss out on one of the most stacked wrestling cards of 2010! Check out http://www.rohwrestling.com/news/eve...-need-to-know/ for a comprehensive look at the matches, videos, issues, ticket and iPPV ordering information, and everything else that brings us to ‘Death Before Dishonor VIII’, THIS SATURDAY in Canada!!! We’re near 72 hours and counting down!!!

- Tag Team Action has been signed for this Saturday at ‘Death Before Dishonor VIII’ as Kenny King and Rhett Titus – The All-Night Express – with their manager Austin Aries, will oppose Cheech and Cloudy – Up In Smoke! Cheech and Cloudy will be coming off a battle with the Kings of Wrestling in Buffalo, while the “ANX” will have faced the Briscoes. Both teams could be riding high come Toronto, but it’s easy to see how both duos could come into Canada much worse off. Can Cheech and Cloudy make a huge statement to the ROH Tag Team Division this weekend, or will Aries’ Express be the team taking the next step? Join us this Saturday and see it LIVE!!!

- Did you see Monday’s episode of Ring of Honor on HDNet??? The contract signing for Black and Richards had an unexpected guest, the “Fallen Angel” made his ROH TV debut, Cabana and Corino quickly got out of hand, and as seen at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wz2qAFI_7uU, the Kings of Wrestling exacted a heinous attack on “Papa” Mike Briscoe, patriarch of the Briscoe family! Don’t get HDNet? Call your local cable provider and DEMAND your Ring of Honor!! As was said in yesterday’s edition of Figure Four Weekly (www.f4wonline.com), this is “pretty much everything a wrestling show should be”.

- Speaking of ROH on HDNet, Ring of Honor and HDNet return to the Arena in South Philadelphia on July 16th and 17th to film another six weeks of the BEST wrestling program on television! Signed for Philadelphia in July: Current ROH World Champion Tyler Black, Current ROH World Tag Team Champions the Kings of Wrestling, “Fallen Angel” Christopher Daniels, Delirious with Daizee Haze, Jerry Lynn, Austin Aries, and Cheech and Cloudy! We’ll have more names and match announcements soon.

- The latest edition of the ROH Videowire went live yesterday as we approach Buffalo and Toronto this weekend. Check out http://www.rohwrestling.com/news/june-15th-videowire/ to see and hear comments from “A Double” Austin Aries, Roderick Strong with Truth Martini, Up In Smoke, and ROH World Television Champion Eddie Edwards. Plus the final comments from World Champion Tyler Black and Davey Richards as they prepare for perhaps the biggest match of their lives, and finally, see the explosive exchange between Jim Cornette and the Kings of Wrestling immediately after their assault on the Briscoe Brothers’ father!

- ROH on HDNet Producer David Lagana sat down with Brian Fitz of Fanhouse.com and discussed a variety of ROH-centric topics including the television product, internet Pay-Per-View, and more. Check it out at http://www.fanhouse.com/2010/06/14/r...r-dave-lagana/

- Canada’s own, the talented veteran Tyson Dux has impressed every time he’s competed inside the ROH squared circle. Now, as Ring of Honor approaches Buffalo and Toronto this weekend he’s got two incredible chances to raise his stock even higher. On Friday in suburban Buffalo, Dux has signed on to face Eddie Edwards’ “10-Minute Hunt”. If Tyson can last ten minutes with the boisterous TV Champ, he’ll earn himself a championship match down the line. Then on Saturday in Toronto at DBD8, Dux has signed on as the sixth and final competitor in the 2nd Annual Toronto Gauntlet. In two back-to-back nights, Tyson Dux can make himself a household name in ROH; and in the process could find himself in line for two title matches. This will no doubt be an incredible hill to climb for Dux, be there at both events to see how this unfolds!

- The latest DVD release at ROHWrestling.com is “Bitter Friends, Stiffer Enemies 2″ from 4/24/10 in Chicago Ridge, IL. This event features the violent Come-As-You-Are Street Fight between Kevin Steen & Steve Corino vs. El Generico & Colt Cabana; Tyler Black vs. Chris Hero for the ROH World Title; a tremendous singles encounter with Davey Richards vs. Roderick Strong; The Briscoes vs. Austin Aries & Kenny King; plus more.
