Ring of Honor Newswire for October 2, 2012

– “Killer Instinct” is THIS Saturday at the Recreation Center in Rahway, NJ and it is a loaded lineup with a stellar main event. Hometown hero, Jay Lethal will challenge for the ROH World Title against Kevin Steen in a highly anticipated match! Lethal has one of the best records currently in ROH and is bringing with him an intensity and hunger beyond what we have seen before. It is expected that all of Lethal’s family and friends will be in attendance to witness his ROH World Title contest and the atmosphere will be electric! This big event also includes a first time ever tag match with The Briscoes taking on Eddie Edwards & Adam Cole, ROH World Tag Champions Steve Corino & Jimmy Jacobs defending against Rhett Titus & BJ Whitmer and WGTT in a Triple Threat Tag, the debut of 3.0, and a whole lot more!

– Speaking of “Killer Instinct”, prior to the start of the event, all of the fans in attendance have an opportunity to meet and greet the stars of ROH! Jay Lethal, Maria Kanellis, Adam Cole, & “Unbreakable” Michael Elgin will be available for a special Autograph Signing session! Don’t forget to be there prior to bell time or you will miss your opportunity!

– Remember that if Lethal is able to win the championship this Saturday then he will go on to face “Unbreakable” Michael Elgin one week later at “Glory by Honor XI”. If this happens, Kevin Steen will go on to face Davey Richards at “Glory by Honor XI” in a rematch from “Border Wars” and Best in the World 2012.” We will have to wait until the dust settles at “Killer Instinct” to see exactly what shape “Glory by Honor XI” takes, but in the meantime pick up your tickets for either event right in the ROH Store!!!

– Don’t forget, that if you attend “Killer Instinct” this Saturday, you will receive a code enabling you to watch the iPPV broadcast of “Glory by Honor XI” for FREE!

– Scott “Jagged” Parker and “Big Magic” Shane Matthews, The Team of 3.0, make their ROH debut this Saturday in Rahway and they have put the Bravado Brothers and the entire ROH Locker room on notice!

– At “The Nightmare Begins…” in June, Davey Richards and Mike Mondo went to a time limit draw to the surprise of many people. At that time, Mondo was unwilling to go another five minutes as he felt he proved that Davey could not beat him. Since that time, Mondo has shot up the ranks and lost his negative attitude and embraced the ideals of honor and taking on any fight. Mondo stated that if he could go back and do it over, he would go that extra five minutes but since he can’t he has requested that the rematch have NO time limit. ROH officials have agreed and Richards vs. Mondo II at the Rahway Rec Center this Saturday will go on until one man is defeated, no matter how long it takes!

– Many people are predicting that Mark & Jay Briscoe vs. Eddie Edwards & Adam Cole this Saturday will steal the show!

– “God’s Gift” QT Marshall sent word that he is not happy with the match ROH officials booked him in this Saturday in Rahway. “Who the hell is Bobby Fish?” stated Marshall. “I want ROH gold and officials book me in a match against a jabrone? Easy payday but let it be known that I demand proper competition from this point forward!” Bobby Fish is definitely not somebody Marshall needs to be taking lightly as Fish brings a strong international reputation and hard hitting style to the table. ROH officials are really looking forward to this one!

– Also at ROH’s New Jersey return, the band Crushpile will be on hand to perform “Die Hard” Eddie Edwards’ & “Unbreakable” Michael Elgin’s ring entrance music LIVE!

– This week is one of the biggest “Tuesday Rollouts” we have done to date!

The latter highlights the rivalry between Bryan Danielson & Nigel McGuinness that encompassed so much of their ROH careers. From their first clash at “Weekend of Champions” to their historic match at “Unified” to their final clash at “Glory by Honor VIII” and everything in-between, this set presents every one-on-one collision between the two ROH legends as well as several tag team encounters, including their challenge against The Briscoes for the ROH World Tag Titles!
