September 5th: Jay & Mark Briscoe are getting ready for a huge
weekend at "Glory By Honor V" on 9/15 in East Windsor, CT and 9/16
in Manhattan with the huge debut at The Manhattan Center. The
Briscoes are looking to be known as the best tag team in wrestling
and they have been backing up their claim with incredible matches.
They will be faced with four of the best going today on "Glory By
Honor V Weekend." It will be an international dream match in East
Windsor as The Briscoes take on NOAH's KENTA & Naomichi Marufuji.
The Briscoes have jumped KENTA on recent shows and now KENTA is
bringing his regular partner, Marufuji, to ROH to try to get some
revenge. Manhattan will see a heated grudge match as The Briscoes
take on the unique team of Brooklyn's own Homicide & Samoa Joe. This
will be the first time that Joe & Homicide have ever teamed. Do we
really need to give these matches any hype? Tickets are now on sale
for both events.

September 5th: The Pure Title might be retired, but ROH will keep
the Pure Title rules for gimmick matches. If two technical wrestlers
are in the middle of a rivalry they can settle their feud in a Pure
Rules Match!!!
September 5th: Former Pure Champion Nigel McGuinness is not
discouraged after losing the belt in Liverpool. McGuinness is
training harder than ever in preparation for his match against
Naomichi Marufuji on 9/16 in Manhattan. McGuinness, who is a regular
in NOAH, sees this as the biggest match of his life. A win here
would raise his prestige in both ROH and NOAH. Something to keep an
eye on is that Marufuji is receiving a GHC Heavyweight Title Match
this weekend against Jun Akiyama in Japan. This is Marufuji's shot
at the most important title in Japan. We will report on this match
next week in the ROHwrestling.com Newswire.
September 5th: We will have an update on ROH World Champion Bryan
Danielson's shoulder injury later this week.
