Tons of Monday ROH News!

- November 24th: ROH officials want to thank the wonderful fans in both Dayton and Chicago Ridge for their awesome participation in both unbelievable events this past weekend! Thank you so very much for your support! Ring of Honor returns to Dayton on Friday, April 24th. We return to Chicago Ridge, IL on Saturday, January 31st for another PPV taping. Tickets are now on sale at www.rohwrestling.com for both events.

- Fans in Chicago Ridge witnessed an instant classic when ROH World Champion, Nigel McGuinness defeated "American Dragon" Bryan Danielson after nearly 30 minutes of back-and-forth combat. Although this bout was without question one for the ages, it wasn't without its share of controversy. Claudio Castagnoli injected himself in the action, attacking Danielson behind Todd Sinclair's back undoubtedly impacting the outcome, even if he wasn't directly involved in the actual end of the contest. ROH camera crews captured words all three men, and we will have that footage available for everyone as soon as possible. One thing we can report is that Bryan Danielson has selected Jerry Lynn as his tag team partner for the main event of the ROH event in St. Louis on 12/5! This choice has several ramifications. Not only has Lynn been the target of some choice comments from McGuinness is the recent past, but as was previously announced, Lynn will try to defeat McGuinness for the ROH Title on 12/6 in Nashville. Not only that, but just recently announced for 12/26 in Philadelphia, Lynn will oppose Danielson himself in a first-time ever dream match. More on this as it develops.

- The challenge of Kensuke Sasaki has been heard loud and clear throughout the ROH locker room and many talents have expressed their wish to face Sasaki and Katsuhiko Nakajima on 12/27 in New York City. To narrow the field, the ROH Booking Committee has just signed a special tag team gauntlet for 12/5 in St. Louis! Four teams will battle it out, with the pair that runs the gauntlet will earn the right to face Sasaki and Nakajima at Final Battle. The first team entered into this gauntlet is the team of Erick Stevens and Brent Albright! We'll be announcing more teams we get closer to the event.

- The Big Ten Sale is ongoing at www.rohwrestling.com. Right now we have over 110 DVD's priced at $10 each. You can also purchase general admission tickets for upcoming events in Collinsville, IL (St. Louis), Nashville, and Philadelphia for only $10 each.

- Sweet-n-Sour Incorporated was able to prevent being thrust into Steel Cage Warfare on December 27 in New York City when Chris Hero's chair shot rendered Roderick Strong out of commission and allowed Davey Richards to score the pinfall in the wild 6-man-tag war. The return of "Crazy" Ace Steel to ROH brought raucous cheers from his Chicago faithful, but not even that could thwart Sweeney and his cohorts. In addition, interference and outside attacks from Sweet-n-Sour in Dayton left the Lights Out Match between Strong and Hero without a clear winner. ROH officials are reviewing video of both events and we've been told we'll have an announcement in the next 24 hours that will greatly impact the 12/6 event in Nashville.

- In another epic battle from the weekend, Austin Aries was able to outlast Jimmy Jacobs and force the AOTF magnate to utter the phrase "I Quit" in Chicago. Corner man Tyler Black did not throw in the towel for Jacobs, and even when it seemed he would, Lacey took that opportunity away by snatching the towel from Black's grasp. Black was berated by Jacobs following the match, and walked off alone. We've received word that because of this, as well as the outcome of the 3-Way-Dance in Dayton, Tyler Black has challenged Austin Aries to a singles match on 12/5 in suburban St. Louis. We will have news on this as it becomes available.

- THE BLACK FRIDAY SALE IS COMING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
