Ring of Honor 2012 - A Different World

jonnycosmic · July 15, 2011

I get worse.

But on the plus side, you came 5th overall in the June settings by default, because the people below you did not qualify. And now we are into the month of July, so you can't get much worse, surely.

jonnycosmic · July 16, 2011

<div style="text-align:center;">ROH Newswire</div>

<div style="text-align:center;">* ROH talent Hallowicked announced via his website that his tag team partner for the match against Delirious & a partner of his choice, will be his current Chikara & Evolve tag team partner, the equally disturbed Frightmare. The team have been tagging together since 2009 and will have an advantage over Delirious and whoever his partner will be.

* Former Ring of Honor champion Eddie Edwards took time out from his busy Japanese tour to tweet "I will be at Best in the World. I just hope you are ready Johnny boy". This tweet led ROH management to immediatly pen in the match between John Hennigan and Eddie Edwards that was initally scheduled for the Death Before Dishonor PPV.

* New WWE chairman Eric Bischoff seems to be leading the prestigious company in the right direction, since taking over from Vince McMahon last month. The company had been falling rapidly downhill, even losing prime television spots for both Raw and Smackdown! brands, but it seems the change in management has resolved a few issues the company had. Back to back successful television tapings and the success of the Money in the Bank PPV is said to have pushed the company back in the right direction.</div>

I like Shima having watched him recently in Pro Wrestling Ohio. He and Ryan both could be future breakout stars. With that said, the established star Generico should take the win here and make the newcomers look fantastic in the process. Hope to see Xion get some good success here in ROH

<div style="text-align:center;">John Hennigan</div>

They tell me on the internet forums and in the locker room that the rumours are true, Eddie Edwards is going to be available to FINALLY face me at Best in the World. I've only waited a whole month to get another inevitable win. What makes you think you are any different from Grizzly Redwood, Shiima Xion or any of the young workers backstage? You think because you are currently wrestling in Japan that you can just show up as and when you please? At ROH Best in the World, I am going to show you Eddie, that you don't need to be an international superstar to be classed as the best in the world. I am the best in the world, right here, right now. It doesn't matter what promotion I am wrestling for, or what show I am fighting on, I will continue to be the best.

<div style="text-align:center;">ROH Newswire:</div>

<div style="text-align:center;">* Major news this week is that Dragon Gate USA, the direct rivals to Ring of Honor have announced they are to go into liquidation within the next few months. DGUSA are looking into potential finance options, but could easily become another in a long list of failed wrestling promotions.

* Ring of Honor management, at the demand of ROH fans, have made a rematch between Adam Cole & Kyle O'Reilly vs The Briscoes that aired on HDNet last week, set for ROH Best in the World. The match up ended in a time limit draw, whetting the appetite of Ring of Honor fans, showcasing the best in tag team wrestling.

* Ring of Honor this week announced the release of Caleb Konley from his ROH contract. Having been with the company for just under 9 months, Konley continued to underperform and was deemed surplus to requirements.

* In better news, after a bout of successful dark matches, Ring of Honor have signed British worker Zack Sabre Jr to a full-time year long contract. Zack, who may be renamed by Ring of Honor creative, is due to debut on television in the next few months.</div>
