ROH News: July 22nd Newswire
Posted by Larry Csonka on 07.22.2008
The latest on the big weekend shows!
July 22nd: It feels like it has been way too long since ROH has had live shows. We can't wait to return to action this Friday in Toronto and this Saturday in Detroit for a pay-per-view taping. You can get tickets for under $10 now at www.ROHwrestling.com for both events. This could potentially be ROH World Champion Nigel McGuinness' toughest weekend yet as he is scheduled for two World Title Matches. The Toronto debut will see McGuinness put the belt on the line against Canada's own Kevin Steen. So far, Nigel has had to pull the tights and hold the ropes to beat Steen. Meanwhile, Steen made McGuinness tap in the middle of the ring to the Sharpshooter and he had Nigel beat with the Package Piledriver, but Nigel was too close to the ropes. Steen will definitely have home field advantage in this one. The winner of Toronto will then put the World Title on the line 24 hours later against a very determined Claudio Castagnoli. In fact, Castagnoli has suggested that he will leave ROH is he does not win the belt.

July 22nd: The card for this Friday's huge debut in Toronto has been announced. This show is going to be a real event in every sense of the word. Larry Sweeney has signed two more matches for the show with members of Sweet & Sour Inc. for this Friday. Chris Hero vs. Ruckus and Sara Del Rey vs. Jennifer Blake will round out this loaded card. We have a look at the entire card at the end of this ROHwrestling.com Newswire.
July 22nd: There is a new FIP World Heavyweight Champion. Erick Stevens defeated Roderick Strong in a brutal Dog Collar Match last Saturday in Crystal River, FL to capture the belt for a second time. We will have more on Stevens and title defenses in ROH later this week in the ROHwrestling.com Newswire.
