– ROH “Death Before Dishonor IX” has received rave reviews we want to thank everyone who purchased the event live on iPPV as well as the replay. We showed once again that ROH is the finest wrestling company in the world and if you missed this amazing event you can still watch it on GoFightLive at http://www.gfl.tv/Events/Fight/Wrestling/Ring_of_Honor___Death_Before_Dishonor_IX/1146!
– We have received an update and the injuries sustained in Ladder War 3 to the All Night Express and the Briscoe Brothers have regressed slightly each day. It does not look as if Ladder War 3 will produce any career threatening injuries however the mental scars will never heal. It is impossible to come out of a Ladder War without any psychological trauma, however you also become a stronger wrestler both physically and mentally. This means that the All Night Express will be more qualified the next time you see them and the Briscoe’s will be more violent.
– Check out the latest ROH Video Wire featuring words from the All Night Express and the Briscoe Brothers immediately following their brutal Ladder War. Also the Embassy comments on the future and the Young Bucks explain what to expect from them in ROH.
– ROH officials are excited to announce that “Survival of the Fittest 2011” will take place on November 18th, when ROH returns to Dayton, Ohio! Last year, Eddie Edwards fought through a separated shoulder to become the 2010 “Survival of the Fittest” and earned a future title bout. At “Manhattan Mayhem IV”, with his ROH World Title victory over Roderick Strong, Eddie became to first man to successfully parlay his SOTF win into a championship. The precedent was set, and now, with SOTF 2011 on the horizon, the ROH roster is looking to step up to the plate. Andy “Right Leg” Ridge has already earned a spot in a qualifying bout with his victory over Grizzly Redwood during the “Death Before Dishonor IX” pre-show, bringing this young man one step closer to achieving his life’s dream.
