Ring of Honor News: June 8th Newswire
Posted by Larry Csonka on 06.08.2006
Tons of ROH and FIP news!
June 8th: The new ROH Video Recap is up at ROHvideos.com. If you saw the backstage confrontation between ROH World Champion Bryan Danielson and Colt Cabana on the new Recap, then you know the surprising news. Cabana will not have to wait until June 24th in Chicago to get a ROH World Title shot. It will be Danielson vs. Cabana for the ROH World Title this Saturday when FIP presents "Impact Of Honor" in Orlando, FL. Check FullImpactPro.com for all the info on this show. The rematch of the "Impact Of Honor" bout will still take place on 6/24 in Chicago. Will Cabana walk into his hometown of Chicago with the belt?
June 8th: ROH Pure Champion Nigel McGuinness has announced his partner for 6/17 in NYC. It will be McGuinness and his former rival Colt Cabana challenging Roderick Strong & Austin Aries for the Tag Titles!!! Of course, Aries & Strong must first make it past this Saturday in Florida. Could Cabana leave NYC a double champion? We'll have more on this big match next week right here in the ROHwrestling.com Newswire.
June 8th: KENTA lost the GHC Jr. Title last week in NOAH. This makes the one fall, non-title three-way on 6/17 even more interesting. It will be arguably the three best wrestlers in the world in one match. Right now everyone is trying to pick a winner in the match pitting ROH World Champion Bryan Danielson vs. Samoa Joe vs. KENTA. Since KENTA no longer holds a belt this frees him up to go after the ROH World Title. KENTA has already defeated Danielson once. Danielson has stated that NOAH already used their contract for a title match last December so KENTA will not get a title match. If KENTA scores a fall over Danielson again on 6/17 he is definitely due a World Title shot and Danielson won't be able to deny that. The issue between Danielson and Samoa Joe escalated last weekend when Danielson chop blocked Joe's bad knee. If you saw the "Best In The World" tag bout with Joe and KENTA on opposite teams, you know about the intense rivalry between these athletes. Everyone in this match has an issue with each other. Who can claim to be the greatest competitor in ROH?
June 8th: ROH World Champion Bryan Danielson has an open contract to defend the belt against an English competitor on either the August 12th event in Liverpool or August 13th event at the Broxbourne Civic Hall. Check the main page of ROHwrestling.com for all the details on ROH's huge UK invasion including ticket info.
June 8th: Jay & Mark Briscoe have committed to be on every ROH show this year. The Briscoes have challenged Austin Aries & Roderick Strong to defend the Tag Titles against them one more time. Do The Briscoes deserve another shot at the belts?
