You love to job the Briscoes, don't you? With you having a TV Spot, I'd recommend mixing it up a little bit, throwing in some interviews and some angles, just enough that you could stay true to ROH but still start to pull in some casual viewers. Overall, the fed's been great so far, though.

HUGE BREAKING NEWS: With the recent news of TNA going global. ROH loses an amount of key wrestlers. Among those... are... Christopher Daniels, Homicide, Samoa Joe, and Austin Aries. This is a sudden shock going into Unforgettable. The card has changed around at the last minute. ROH doesn't know what to do. The only thing we can do is make some impromptu signings. And as of now, the ROH Tag Team Titles are vacant.

OUCH. Big kick in the balls there, losing a big part of your roster. But it does make it very interesting who you will bring in.

September 16th: Ring of Honor is proud to announce that they brought out the big bucks and signed Toshiaki Kawada to a written contract. He will be challenging Bryan Danielson in the main event for the ROH World Title. This could be the end of Danielson's reign. Puroresu galore! We also signed another Japanese wrestler too. And he will be taking on CM Punk. But right now... we want to keep a mystery and don't want to give it out. All in all... ROH is getting back on their feet.

Kawada VS Danielson is gold. That match just prints money. Too bad Joe is gone, as Kawada/Joe would've been really cool too.

In which Shelley responds to by running out of the ring and trying to jump into the crowd. But the ROH crowd isn't having it. They're not letting him jump over the rail. Strong lays some more chops in. By now, Shelley's got a hamburger chest, and he's screaming. Shelley quickly takes back control of the match by an eye gouge. Then rolls him up in a School Boy. 1.....2..... no... Strong gets a shoulder up. Shelley then begins working over the neck area of Strong with some neck cranks, very smart psychology used by Alex Shelley, there. Shelley goes up top, Holy ****! ALEX SHELLEY HITS A DOUBLE STOMP ONTO THE THROAT OF RODERICK STRONG! Cover! 1...........2................... STRONG KICKS OUT! Shelley is shocked. He thought he had him. Shelley is real cocky now.

Unfortunately.. it looks like Toshiaki Kawada will have to tap out. But NO! Kawada pushes Danielson's shoulders down to the mat WITH HIS HEAD... into a pinning position. WOW... 1.........................2......................... NO! Danielson kicks out. What a close call that was! Danielson gets him back into the Cattle Mutilation position. Kawada has been in pain for 40 seconds, just taking the pain, hoping Danielson will lose all of his energy. Danielson lets go. But WHAT!!!.... it was a FAKE! He locks back in the Cattle Mutilation. Toshiaki Kawada taps out! Bryan Danielson goes into the crowd, where he celebrates his victory!!!!! ***1/4 Overall Show Rating: 76%Everyone's going to love the ending to the main event, I bet.

Preview for ROH Show #8 - TV Episode Ring of Honor #3...
At the first PPV, Unforgettable, you saw Bryan Danielson retain the title in hard fought battle against Puro legend, Toshiaki Kawada. The rematch has been signed for next week on Ring of Honor #4. But there's an announcement. Alex Shelley... who has been on a losing streak as of late, will put it all on the line on this show. He has vowed to leave ROH if he doesn't win the Four Corner Survival Match against Roderick Strong, Colt Cabana, and Yoshihiro Tajiri. But there's a catch, if he does indeed win it... that rematch next week between Danielson and Kawada will become a Three-Way.
Also.... CM Punk will be in action when he takes on another international wrestler, Jimmy Yang. At Unforgettable, he fell short on defeating the debuting Yoshihiro Tajiri. But he has a chance to revive here. But he has to go through the very tough Jimmy Yang first.
