[tizzyt]

[CENTER][IMG]http://i172.photobucket.com/albums/w15/TheWho87EWR/Diary/ROH_Logo.png[/IMG] [B][U]ROH Newswire Week 2 August, 2008 [/U][/B] Ring of Honor management have informed that after nearly three weeks of negotiations, ROH has come to an agreement with several talent whom will begin debuting in Ring of Honor as early as Age of Insanity. Ring of Honor management have confirmed however that they have made some connections with a few new backstage workers and hired three new road agents to help with the current talent in the ROH locker room, those brought on board are Al Snow, Lance Storm and Ted Dibiase. Also confirmed by new Ring of Honor head booker, Theodore Thompson, is the current agreement with World Wrestling Entertainment, talent trades may happen in time, however, at this time, it is only being told as a working relationship in terms of marketing. Just after winning his opportunity to face Nigel McGuinness for the ROH World Title at Age of Insanity, Bryan Danielson asked a favor of ROH Head Booker, Theodore Thompson, asking that the match be a 60-Minute Iron Man Match. Age of Insanity and Anarchy Runs Wild are set in stone as far as we know, the cards have been released.

Small problem with the formatting when I copy/pasted the show, so it's taking a LOT longer than originally expected to get the show up (tons of code to delete for some reason, Word STINKS!) Anyways, quick question for my readers, do you guys want TNA/WWE updates every game month to see what they're doing?

[CENTER][COLOR="Red"][SIZE="5"]ROH Newswire Sunday August Week 2[/SIZE][/COLOR] [IMG]http://i96.photobucket.com/albums/l177/tvrdabomb/logo_ROH.png[/IMG] Ring of Honor Officials are said to be extremely happy with how ROH Age of Insanity & ROH Anarchy Runs Wild have come off, with the overall feeling being that every year, ROH officials will have one card where the talent will be making the matches themselves. ROH World Champion Nigel McGuinness is said to be tired of fighting the "same old, same old" and would like some new competition, ROH officials have granted his request for this coming weekend' Epic Encounter III. Low-Ki, by way of his "representative" Larry Sweeney, has made an official challenge to Mark & Jay Briscoe regarding ROH' return to the Hammerstein Ballroom in New York at Glory By Honor VII, apparently Low-Ki has two tag team partners and have encouraged the Briscoes to find someone to face his trio on the first night of the event. The upcoming shows have been finalized and they are as follows : [B][U]ROH Epic Encounter III[/U][/B] Chris Hero vs Go Shiozaki Eddie Kingston vs Delirious Ace Steel vs Claudio Castagnoli Vito & Brandon Thomaselli vs Adam Pearce & Shane Hagadorn Necro Butcher vs Takeshi Morishima Jimmy Jacobs vs Rocky Romero Austin Aries vs Raven Nigel McGuinness © vs Joey Matthews - ROH World Title As far as the ROH International, Independent, Invitational title tournament, ROH officials have decided that at Gut Check, the title would be decided in a one night tournament, while it was argued with the Survival of the Fittest tournament not too far away that it would be too much, ROH officials have decided to give it a shot as the two concepts are very different, 4 ROH workers have been extended invitations as well as 4 workers on the independent circuit.

A great show as usual. Didn't see the Raven run in coming AT ALL. A shame the segment didnt rate too well. Glad you hired him though. He is one of my all time favourite workers and he could really help build up some other wrestler stats, much like a Corino probably would. Good work mate. This is becoming one of my favourite diaries on this board along with Nevermore's ECW Diary and Wildfires NWA one. This could be one to watch. Keep it up.

Another great show there. Really enjoyed the title match, but the best match for me had to be the Butcher/Morishima match. I would soooo loved to have seen it live. You really do make the matches come alive and you make them seem believable and real. I can't say enough good things about this diary. Nice work.
