Oh yes indeed. This means peace out to Lucha Libre International, I've already done everything I wanted to do with that. That being said, this obviously isn't starting (as far as posting shows, newswires/video wires will probably be posted going into the first show) until I get LOTF3 in hand.

ROH Video Wire for the Week of 7/15/10:
We're shown a gym with people practicing Brazilian Jiu Jitsu in the background. The camera goes to Davey Richards, who is sitting alone.
Richards: "You know, there's a lot of talk about this new promotion called Ring of Honor. A lot of people throwing their names in the hat as far as wanting to be involved. Well I'm telling you now that The American Wolves are going to be there at the Murphy Rec Center for the first show. The Era of Honor will begin on that night, but I don't just want a regular match. I want to make a statement. Now I hear you all asking, 'but Davey! Where's Eddie?' Eddie is over in Japan right now, making sure that the American Wolves is a name known, and feared around the world. I've talked with Eddie, and we know that Ring of Honor also is bringing Claudio Castagnoli and Chris Hero to Philadelphia. Kings of Wrestling, you've never faced us. You could say that we both have something to prove in Philly. I've spoken to management, and you better believe this is the match the fans will get. August 20th at the Murphy Rec Center, boys, the Hunt is On."
The video wire then cuts to a match from Japan that sees "American Dragon" Bryan Danielson beating an opponent with the CATTLE MUTILATION. We then cut to Danielson in his locker room after the match.
Danielson: "So on August 20th in Philadelphia, I've been invited to compete for Ring of Honor at their very first show. Now a lot of you are probably wondering why the best wrestler in the world would bother with an upstart promotion, and it's just this simple: I've looked at the list of guys that they're going to have there, and to prove that I'm the best in the world, I'm going to have to test my skills against theirs. I signed my name on the dotted line, and on August 20th, I'm going to be in the ring with Austin Aries and Roderick Strong in a Triple Threat match. Aries, we've wrestled before. We've taken each other to the limit before. And the same goes for you, Roderick. The thing that's different is in Philadelphia, you're not facing the same Bryan Danielson you did years ago. This is a new, revitalized American Dragon. You see, now you've got two options: You either Tap...or you Snap."
8/20/10 - "The Era of Honor Begins"; Murphy Rec Center in Philadelphia, PA: 1.) First Time Ever - The American Wolves of Eddie Edwards and Davey Richards vs. The Kings of Wrestling of Chris Hero and Claudio Castagnoli (w/Sara del Rey) 2.) Bryan Danielson vs. Austin Aries vs. Roderick Strong

Newswire for 7/13/10:
-- This week's video wire gave fans the two main event matches for our debut show on August 20th from the Murphy Rec Center in Philadelphia. In a Tag Team Dream Match, The American Wolves of Davey Richards and Eddie Edwards will take on The Kings of Wrestling of Chris Hero and Claudio Castagnoli. In our main event, Roderick Strong will clash with Bryan Danielson and Austin Aries in a three way dance.
-- Another huge match has been signed for August 20th, as Nigel McGuinness has been challenged by Eddie Kingston. Kingston has some words for Nigel in the upcoming video wire, but suffice to say that this will be the battle of the lariats in this first time ever match.
-- Also set for August 20th is a five-way, elimination rules tag team match that will see Jay and Mark Briscoe take on Mike Quackenbush and Jigsaw, the Age of the Fall of Tyler Black and Jimmy Jacobs, F.I.S.T. of Gran Akuma and Icarus, and The Young Bucks of Nick and Matt Jackson. A win here would certainly go a long way to getting one of these teams into the eventual ROH World Tag Team Championship match. Which team will rise to the occasion in Philly?
-- Looking forward, Ring of Honor has added three more shows to the schedule as we debut in New York City on September 11th, Dayton, Ohio on October 22nd, and Chicago Ridge, IL on October 23rd. Scheduled to appear in New York City is none other than the legendary Tiger Mask! We'll have an update in the coming weeks as to who his opponent will be on that night. Read below to see the first two matches announced for the Midwest Double Shot.
-- The Necro Butcher, known worldwide for being the king of hardcore wrestling, has issued an open challenge to the entire wrestling world for August 20th in Philadelphia. Who will step up to the plate and face Necro in Philadelphia?
-- A match has already been signed for Dayton, as Tyler Black signed with Ring of Honor with one of the conditions being that he gets to face Bryan Danielson one-on-one. In Dayton on October 22nd, Black will get his wish as he goes head-to-head with the American Dragon.
-- The next night in Chicago has also had its first match signed as Roderick Strong will face off with Eddie Kingston in what is set to be one of the hardest hitting matches in the history of professional wrestling.
8/20/10 - "The Era of Honor Begins"; Murphy Rec Center in Philadelphia, PA: 1.) Jay and Mark Briscoe vs. The Young Bucks of Nick and Matt Jackson vs. The Age of the Fall of Tyler Black and Jimmy Jacobs vs. Mike Quackenbush and Jigsaw vs. F.I.S.T. of Gran Akuma and Icarus 2.) First Time Ever - Nigel McGuinness vs. Eddie Kingston 3.) Tag Team Dream Match - The American Wolves of Eddie Edwards and Davey Richards vs. The Kings of Wrestling of Chris Hero and Claudio Castagnoli (w/Sara del Rey) 4.) Bryan Danielson vs. Austin Aries vs. Roderick Strong
9/11/10 - "Glory By Honor"; Manhattan Center in New York City, NY: The legendary Tiger Mask is scheduled to wrestle!
10/22/10 - "Show Title TBA"; Montgomery County Fairgrounds in Dayton, OH: 1.) Bryan Danielson vs. Tyler Black
10/23/10 - "Show Title TBA"; Frontier Fieldhouse in Chicago Ridge, IL: 1.) Roderick Strong vs. Eddie Kingston

ROH Newswire for 7/15/10:
-- A major match has just been signed for our debut show on August 20th in Philadelphia as Erick Stevens has stepped forward to answer the challenge of the Necro Butcher. This is a battle between two of the biggest men on the ROH roster, and should be an extremely physical contest.
-- As noted in the last newswire, the legendary Satoru Sayama, better known as the original Tiger Mask, will wrestle on September 11th at the Manhattan Center as Ring of Honor presents Glory By Honor. Everyone on the Ring of Honor roster has thrown their name into the hat to face the legend, but one has been more vocal than anyone else - Austin Aries. The two will meet in a dream match at Glory By Honor.
-- Also signed for September 11th at the Manhattan Center is a contest between Chris Hero and Bryan Danielson. These two have fought all over the independent circuit, and this match should be a classic.
-- In next week's Video Wire, we'll hear from Eddie Kingston about his match with Nigel on August 20th. Eddie also has another major match on the horizon because on October 23rd in Chicago, he will take on the Messiah of the Backbreaker in Roderick Strong.
-- ROH Commissioner Jim Cornette has announced that in October in Chicago, Ring of Honor will present Survival of the Fittest. It's a one night tournament with six qualifying matches leading into a six man elimination match at the end of the night to determine the first Ring of Honor World Champion! The above match between Roderick Strong and Eddie Kingston is the first announced SOTF qualifier. In next week's Video Wire, as well as Friday's newswire, we'll announce two more Survival of the Fittest Qualifying matches.
-- Also signed for our debut in Chicago is a tag team match between the Briscoes of Jay and Mark and Team F.I.S.T. of Gran Akuma and Icarus. These two teams will give fans a preview on August 20th, but the question of which team is truly better will be left unanswered until October 23rd in Chicago.
-- Speaking of the Midwest Double Shot in October, another match has been added to our debut in Dayton. Roderick Strong will take on Davey Richards in a singles match.
-- Also speaking of the show in Dayton, we'll have a major announcement regarding that show's main event after August 20th.
-- ROH has been in contact with several top wrestling superstars, and some are very close to signing. Some even have history with current members of the Ring of Honor locker room.
8/20/10 - "The Era of Honor Begins"; Murphy Rec Center in Philadelphia, PA: 1.) Erick Stevens vs. Necro Butcher 2.)

I was curious... Is Survival of the Fittest all six guys in the ring at once, or tag rules?

Looks great. Will you be enforcing the Code of Honor?
