Ring of Honor Newswire for the week of 5/1[/u]
- Takeshi Morishima has said he's ready for next weekend in Hartford, when he and Nigel challenge the Briscoes for the ROH Tag Titles. Can the NOAH duo take down the champs, or will the Briscoes walk away with the tag belts again?
- A big four corner survival has been announced for Hartford! It will be Claudio Castagnoli vs. Homicide vs. BJ Whitmer vs. Matt Cross!
- After Colt Cabana's farewell last week in Chicago, Adam Pearce commented that was just a wrinkle in his momentum, and that he's setting his sights on Takeshi Morishima's ROH Title.
- Hartford will see SHIMMER action when Daizee Haze and Allison Danger take on the Minnesota Homewrecking Crew of Rain and Lacey.
- The fans have requested him, and next weekend in Hartford, CT...Chuck Taylor will make his ROH debut, taking on Jack Evans!
- As you may or may not already know know, the 5/12 New York City show will be taped for Ring of Honor's PAY PER VIEW debut! This show will contain only the BEST matches possible, and it's been titled "Respect is Earned". The PPV will air July 1st. The card will not be announced until the night of the show.
- Speaking of "Respect is Earned", we've contacted other independants around the US, and we've managed to secure more talent for the shows, including Alex Shelley, Chris Sabin, and CHIKARA's own Gran Akuma will be making a return for the PPV.

I've never really been a fan of ROH, but your diaries usually kick ass and this one should be good as well. Im a fan of Alex Shelley so I hope you give him a good push. Looking forward to it.

I would guess who the legend would be, but theres loads of names you can throw up. I liked that Morishima went nuts, should be good to see where this goes. I dont really like your writing style though, i would like more detail in the matches, but whatever. Nice to see Shelley in here, and Taylor <3

A lot of the stuff I don't like about the current ROH: pointless SHIMMER matches, worst stable ever in the NRC, etc. but you can't blow everything up, so you gotta role with what you can. WHat happened to the Sydal-Marifuji match?
I liked the main event, and I really liked Delirious winning. Solid start, overall.

Oh shit, I just noticed that the space before Chuck Taylor's match got erased somehow.

Thoughts: - Steen and Generico better split up soon. Speaking of Generico, I'm still waiting for Firebreaker to tell me why he is so bad. - I think the times for the SHIMMER match and the 4CS shoulda been switched. - Something post-match or something shoulda happened with NRC/Resilience. Just them ending the match and that's it would be weird I think. - Delirious over KENTA...ehhh. Donno. - Where is Sydal/Fuji? - Taylor's debut sounds good, but I think that match is too high on the card. - Main event sounds ing awesome, nice long match, with a semi-shocking ending. - Good show overall, as I am also experiencing with my IWA diary, it is not the easiest to book a show with a set card. But you did a good job so far. |

I am guessing Danielson won the world title? If so that is awesome, I like Takeshi Morishima as well but more fimailiar with Danielson. I like ROH, been watching it alot more recently due to my intrests in Matt Sydal and Delirious. Hope you continue this diary for a while. Drop a line to my wwe Diary.

Davey Richards for 25 minutes scares me.
For the most part, the people that I enjoy won... Delirious, Claudio, Shelley and Sabin, Danielson(when it's under 30 minutes), but except for the main event, it didn't feel... big, if that makes sense. Having both the Briscoes and Nigel out really hurts the show for being such an epic thing. It wasn't a bad card, by any means, but did not feel like the PPV you'd use to try to sell the ROH concept on people.

As much I loved the Danielson return, I really don't like the Idea of giving him the belt back. I really do like this Rave push, The show seemed great. Noyce to see Quack and rest In there, didn't really like Delirious going over Roddy, 'Cide and Quack, but w/e. Keep It up Rickster.
