ROH News & Results 10/05/05
It's no secret that I consider Ring of Honor to be the most entertaining wrestling promotion going on today. In 9 days I will be sitting in the front row as I watch my first ever ROH live event as it debuts here in my home city of Cleveland, Ohio. The card that has been announced so far has my excitement level building up with each passing day. Here is some news from the promotion this week (including new matches listed for the Cleveland debut) and match results from this weekends spectaculars which features Japanese wrestling legend Kenta Kobashi.
ROH News & Notes:
- Two new matches have been signed for the Cleveland debut on 10/14. One is a first time ever dream match pitting Roderick Strong vs. Jimmy Yang!
- Prince Nana has taken advantage of an open contract and signed a mismatch for 10/14 in Cleveland. Generation Next signed an open contract for any member of Gen Next to face any member of The Embassy. Prince Nana has taken advantage of that contract to sign a David vs. Goliath type match as Abyss takes on Jack Evans!
- Your new ROH Commissioner is none other than the legendary Jim Cornette!!! Commissioner Cornette will have a video message for all the fans later this week here at ROHwrestling.com
- Claudio Castagnoli has earned a spot as a regular in ROH with his upset victory over Colt Cabana in Manhattan and strong showing in Philadelphia last weekend
- There was some kind of attack on Roderick Strong in the locker room after his match against James Gibson on Sunday.
- New ROH Tag Team Champions Tony Mamaluke & Sal Rinauro have stated that they will be fighting champions. They have already signed on for title defenses in Cleveland on 10/14 and Buffalo on 10/15. Cleveland will see former champions and new Lacey's Angels BJ Whitmer & Jimmy Jacobs with Lacey get their rematch vs. Mamaluke & Rinauro. Ricky Reyes has cashed in his prize for being on the winning team at the "Trios Tournament" and will team with Homicide to challenge the tag champions on 10/15 in Buffalo.
- 10/29 in Woodbridge, CT. It will be Colt Cabana vs. Homicide
- ROH officials have already decided that there will be no commentary during the Kenta Kobashi vs. Samoa Joe match from 10/1 on the home release.
- Kenta Kobashi and Samoa Joe each suffered numerous injuries after their weekend matches. Kobashi had one of his teeth broken in half. Joe suffered a minor ankle injury, but will be fine to compete on upcoming shows. Of course, both men where covered in bruises.
And speaking of Samoa Joe/Kobashi, here are the results from the two ROH shows Kobashi was on:
