Tyler Black out for this weekend…
- May 4th Newswire: As announced in this morning's main page article http://www.rohwrestling.com/news/article.aspx?id=2759, Bret "Hitman" Hart will appear in Toronto on July 24th! Information on ticket prices for the autograph session will be announced soon. July 24th and 25th in Toronto is going to be huge; Bret Hart and Ric Flair on back-to-back nights in Ring of Honor! Get your tickets now at www.rohwrestling.com!
- We have some unfortunate injury news concerning this weekend's events in Boston and Edison. Jon Davis of the Dark City Fight Club has suffered a far worse wrist dislocation than originally thought, and he will be undergoing surgery this week to correct the problem. As a result, the Dark City Fight Club will not be appearing in Boston or Edison as scheduled. Recovery time for Davis is unknown at this point and everyone at Ring of Honor wishes him a fast and safe recovery.
- The Super Smash Brothers will now take the spots left open due to Davis' injury. They will face Rhett Titus and Kenny King on Friday in Boston, and on Saturday in Edison they'll face Brent Albright and Erick Stevens.
- We also regret to inform that Tyler Black is also injured and will not be appearing as scheduled in Boston or Edison. Black aggravated a pre-existing neck injury during the epic 45-minute Tag Title match against the American Wolves in Markham. Unfortunately the injury hasn't responded to treatment as well as in the past, and further treatment is necessary that will keep Black out of action. He is not expected to miss the next ROH on HDNet National Television tapings on May 29th and 30th in Philadelphia. We apologize for any inconvenience these unfortunate injuries may cause.
- The tag team title match scheduled for this Saturday will still happen. Tyler Black told ROH officials that he has a partner in mind for Bryan Danielson, but we are awaiting confirmation from this competitor before making it 100% official. We hope to have the announcement tomorrow right here in the ROH News Wire.
- When opportunity knocks, apparently Chris Hero answers. "That Young Knockout Kid" was on the phone with the ROH Booking Committee as soon as he heard that Tyler Black was on the shelf for this weekend. "I beat Jerry Lynn in Boston last time," exclaimed Hero. "It's only natural that I do it again, in front of the same fans, and become ROH World Champion!" Hero was not scheduled for this weekend's events, but Jerry Lynn did not appreciate what he heard. "Hero used his loaded elbow last time, and everyone knows it. I got some revenge at Final Battle, but I'd love nothing more than to beat him in a singles. And especially in Boston where they saw him screw me last time." ROH officials quickly agreed and made the match. It will be Lynn versus Hero on Friday in Boston.
