“Rising Above,” the new ROH pay-per-view, debuts nationally March 7 via iN DEMAND, Dish Network and TVN broadcasting systems.
G-FUNK ANNOUNCES MARCH 7 PREMIERE OF RING OF HONOR’S “RISING ABOVE”
Internationally Acclaimed Federation Ring Of Honor To Broadcast State-Of-The-Art Pro Wrestling Show On Fifth Pay-Per-View Event Via Dish Network, iN DEMAND & TVN
Weston, CT—Ken Gelman of G-Funk Sports & Entertainment is proud to announce the Pay-Per-View and Video-On-Demand broadcast of “Rising Above.” This action event will debut on Friday, March 7,
2008, via Dish Network, iN DEMAND and TVN (price: $9.99 to $14.99 depending upon the provider). The internationally-acclaimed Ring Of Honor (www.ringofhonor.com) has also brought you “Respect Is Earned,” “Driven,” “Man Up!” and “Undeniable.” “Undeniable” came complete with music by the Grammy Award-winning American Alternative Rock band Smashing Pumpkins, who gave permission for ROH to produce an exclusive “Doomsday Clock.” (Billy Corgan, the band’s singer/songwriter/guitarist, is a major ROH fan.) A free 10-minute preview of “Rising Above” can be experienced at www.ROHvideos.com hosted by Daizee Haze.
Since the
advent of its revered product, ROH has been inundated with rave reviews across-the-board. Wrestling Observer Newsletter called “Man Up!,” “from a wrestling standpoint, up there with the best PPVs of all-time. Seriously.” Now, ROH ups the ante on its celebrated brand of Combat Art which utilizes elements of wrestling, mixed-martial arts and aggression like you’ve never seen before to create its own niche in this depressed era of silly WWE storylines that turn off real wrestling fans and disenfranchised former fans.
“Rising Above” is headlined by an ROH World Championship title match between the champion, Great Britain’s Nigel McGuinness, and the #1 Challenger Austin Aries. This extreme bout will rival
the Match-Of-The-Year bout from “Driven,” when McGuinness took on Bryan Danielson. Also on the line is a two-out-of-three fall World Champion Tag Team title match between Champions Jay and Mark Briscoe against the formidable team of Roderick Strong and Rocky Romero. The Briscoes are widely regarded as the #1 Tag Team in all of Pro Wrestling and have become known for putting away all opponents in two straight falls! Claudio Castagnoli faces his former tag team partner Chris Hero in a grudge match. Bryan “The American Dragon” Danielson, known as the best pure wrestler in the world today, puts his reputation on the line against the Japanese man-mountain Takeshi Morishima. There will also be an outrageous women’s bout between Daizee Haze, Sara Del Ray and Lacey.
“With the broadcast debut of this particular pay-per-view event,” says ROH owner Cary Silkin, “I have no doubt in my mind that—as the pundits and critics have been saying for over a year now—Ring Of Honor has, indeed, risen above the competition in a stark and dramatic way. There simply is no one out there today—and that includes the majors—who are giving the fans the kind of real wrestling that doesn’t insult their intelligence. From the disenfranchised older fan who’s almost given up on this sport to the young action fan who demands a product that doesn’t ever let up in intensity, Ring Of Honor is obviously `Rising Above.’”

G-FUNK ANNOUNCES PREMIERE OF RING OF HONOR’S “MAN-UP!”
Internationally Acclaimed Federation Boasts Exceptional Card On Third Televised Pay-Per-View Event, November 30 Via Dish Network, iN DEMAND & TVN
Weston, CT—Ken Gelman of G-Funk Sports & Entertainment is proud to announce the Pay-Per-View and Video On Demand broadcast of “Man-Up!,” from the internationally acclaimed Ring Of Honor (ROH). Since the success of its first two TV events, “Respect Is Earned” and “Driven,” on EchoStar’s DISH Network and on all iN DEMAND and TVN cable systems, ROH has been inundated with rave reviews from around the world for its brand of high-flying, hard-hitting intense competition that many are branding “Combat Art.” One notable industry pundit from The Wrestling Observer was quoted as saying about Driven: “…it took only five minutes into the first match where you felt you were getting a product that blows away the big leagues of U.S.
wrestling.”
“Man-Up” will debut Nov. 30 on the Dish Network, TVN cable systems, Bell ExpressVu in Canada, iN DEMAND and Canada’s Viewer’s Choice cable systems.
Taped in Chicago, “Man-Up” succeeds in large part due to the inclusion of such dramatic and groundbreaking bouts as the “ladder war” for the ROH World Tag Team Titles, featuring the Briscoe Brothers defending their belts against the upstart team of Kevin Steen and El Generico and several other top notch offerings.
“Man-Up is the greatest Ring Of Honor pay-per-view to date,” says ROH owner Cary Silkin, “capped off with a ladder war that’s beyond belief! Believe me, I was there!”
Adds Gelman, “The ladder war takes wrestling to a whole new level on `Man Up!’ This is a championship match with so many unbelievable twists and turns it’s sure to garner `Match of the Year’ consideration.”
A new entry into the American television audience, but long revered by a loyal underground fan base, the Philadelphia-based ROH—currently seen on Canadian, British and Japanese TV—appeals to the disenfranchised wrestling fan fed up with storylines which seem to take precedence over the kind of powerful ring competition that ROH specializes in.
ROH, in fact, is seen to have the highest level of athleticism in its field today, which recently culminated in a sweep of the 2006 Wrestling Observer awards for “Most Outstanding Wrestler,” “Best Brawler,” “Best Major Wrestling Show” (ROH took four of its Top 10) and “Best Booker.”

G-FUNK ANNOUNCES PREMIERE OF RING OF HONOR’S “MAN-UP!”
Internationally Acclaimed Federation Boasts Exceptional Card On Third Televised Pay-Per-View Event, November 30 Via Dish Network, iN DEMAND & TVN
Weston, CT—Ken Gelman of G-Funk Sports &
Entertainment is proud to announce the Pay-Per-View and Video On Demand broadcast of “Man-Up!,” from the internationally acclaimed Ring Of Honor (ROH). Since the success of its first two TV events, “Respect Is Earned” and “Driven,” on EchoStar’s DISH Network and on all iN DEMAND and TVN cable systems, ROH has been inundated with rave reviews from around the world for its brand of high-flying, hard-hitting intense competition that many are branding “Combat Art.” One notable industry pundit from The Wrestling Observer was quoted as saying about Driven: “…it took only five minutes into the first match where you felt you were getting a product that blows away the big leagues of U.S. wrestling.”
“Man-Up” will debut Nov. 30 on the Dish Network, TVN cable systems, Bell ExpressVu in Canada, iN
DEMAND and Canada’s Viewer’s Choice cable systems.
Taped in Chicago, “Man-Up” succeeds in large part due to the inclusion of such dramatic and groundbreaking bouts as the “ladder war” for the ROH World Tag Team Titles, featuring the Briscoe Brothers defending their belts against the upstart team of Kevin Steen and El Generico and several other top notch offerings.
“Man-Up is the greatest Ring Of Honor pay-per-view to date,” says ROH owner Cary Silkin, “capped off with a ladder war that’s beyond belief! Believe me, I was there!”
Adds Gelman, “The ladder war takes wrestling to a whole new level on `Man Up!’ This is a championship match with so many unbelievable twists and turns it’s sure to garner `Match of the Year’ consideration.”
A new entry into the American television audience, but long revered by a loyal underground fan base, the Philadelphia-based ROH—currently seen on Canadian, British and Japanese TV—appeals to the disenfranchised wrestling fan fed up with storylines which seem to take precedence over the kind of powerful ring competition that ROH specializes in. ROH, in fact, is seen to have the highest level of athleticism in its field today, which recently culminated in a sweep of the 2006 Wrestling Observer awards for “Most Outstanding Wrestler,” “Best Brawler,” “Best Major Wrestling Show” (ROH took four of its Top 10) and “Best Booker.”

DEADLINE EXTENDED TO 8/31: LOOKING FOR MATERIALS ON TIGER KHAN FOR UPCOMING DOCUMENTARY:
This summer I will be doing a documentary on the life and death of Tiger Khan in conjunction with filmmaker Franco Frassetti who is currently working on the Bruno Sammartino documentary (details on Franco/Bruno film at: www.intheringofhonor.com) Tiger’s film will be shot this summer in the NY/NJ area.
We will also be doing a Tiger Khan Memorial card on September 9 in NJ which would be an ideal scenario for his friends to reunite and reminisce about Tiger and have it captured on film.
Right now we are looking for the following to include in the film:
• video footage of Tiger in and out of the
ring including promos • photos of Tiger • Memorabilia/programs/etc. with Tiger • wrestlers and friends willing to be interviewed on film in NY/NJ area • wrestlers and friends not able to come to NY/NJ area who would be willing to submit videotaped interviews on their relationship with Tiger for film. Deadline 8/31/07.
I thank you in advance for your involvement and support. Evan Ginzburg can be reached at: evan_ginzburg@...
