These are looking like three potentially awesome shows.  Hopefully, Joe is healthy enough to give a good performance in the 3-Way.  It also looks like ROH is escalating the Joe-Danielson feud, which should be another great element of the match.  KENTA vs Strong and Aires both look like they could be awesome too.  Also with the addition of Cabana vs Danielson to Chicago, that has the makings of a great show.  I'm also really looking forward to the Briscoes and the Embassy wrestling.

Great work on the thread, as always, sephy.  Can't wait to see these videos.

Here is some good KENTA news....

Newswire Time:

June 5th: It looks like there might be a new greatest match in ROH history. Fans and critics are now seeing the double DVD of the 3/31 "Supercard Of Honor" event and raving about the Blood Generation vs. Do Fixer six man tag team match. This is a top match of the year candidate. This event is so good that the Bryan Danielson vs. Roderick Strong contest is also a match of the year candidate. Here are what some critics are saying about the six man featuring the stars of Dragon Gate:

"This is one of the greatest matches in history...you must get that DVD," Dave Meltzer on last night's Wrestling Observer Live

"I just watched, hands down, the greatest pro wrestling match I've ever seen....I've seen most, if not all, of the best matches, internationally and domestically of the past three decades, and this one beats them all. It's state of the art. As this match gets seen by more people you're going to hear half smart internet critics criticize it for being a spot-fest. Ignore them. They'll be dazzled by the spots, as you will be, because they're faster, more spectacular and more precise than anything ever seen in this business. This match, though, is much more than spots," Bruce Mitchell in his blog yesterday on PWTorch.com.

June 5th: We know that gas is expensive and we want you to be able to afford to go to ROH shows this summer. Right now at ROHwrestling.com there is a 20% off on ALL tickets sale for the following shows: 6/17 in Manhattan; 6/23 in Detroit; 6/24 in Chicago; 7/15 in Philly; 7/28 in Dayton; 7/29 in Cleveland; 8/4 in Long Island; 8/5 in Edison; 8/25 in St. Paul. You can now get ringside and general admission ticket for 20% off, but act now because the sale ends on Wednesday night at ROHwrestling.com.

June 5th: Homicide has been MIA since walking out of last night's show. We hope to have an update on him and if he is really done with ROH this week in the ROHwrestling.com Newswire. Homicide feels he was ripped off in the finish of the World Title match last Saturday and quit the promotion. He didn't even return to the locker room as he walked straight out the front door from the ring after the match.

June 5th: ROH Tag Team Champions Austin Aries & Roderick Strong surprised everyone when they dropped the Generation Next name. Aries and Strong felt that the name didn't apply to them anymore. The original goal of Gen Next was for four upcomers to get aggressive about taking all the spots and getting to the main event. All the members of Gen Next, especially Aries & Strong, have accomplished that so the name simply doesn't apply to them anymore. We are not sure if Aries & Strong will remain a faction with Jack Evans and Matt Sydal. We also don't know how Evans and Sydal will react to the name being dropped. We will have to wait until Evans and Sydal return to ROH on July 28th in Dayton to find out what Evans and Sydal think of this whole situation.

June 5th: The entire Milestone Series is now released on DVD. You can pick up all these shows as part of the buy 3, get 1 free sale on all ROH show, Straight Shootin' and Secrets Of The Ring DVDs. This includes 4/1 "Better Than Our Best" that ROH management has called the greatest show in ROH history. This loaded event features one great match after another including: Homicide vs. Colt Cabana in a wild Chicago Street Fight; Lance Storm comes out of retirement to challenge Bryan Danielson for the ROH World Title; Austin Aries & Roderick Strong vs. CIMA & Doi for the ROH Tag Team Titles; Adam Pearce brawls against Chris Hero; AJ Styles vs. Samoa Joe vs. Christopher Daniels vs. Jimmy Yang in a Four Corner Survival; Jimmy Rave, Alex Shelley & Yoshino vs. Do Fixer; Delirious vs. Ricky Reyes; Six Man Mayhem with Jack Evans vs. Ace Steel vs. Matt Sydal vs. Jake Crist vs. Dave Christ vs. Jimmy Jacobs; plus more with ROH Commissioner Jim Cornette, BJ Whitmer, Necro Butcher and others!!! Get free DVDs when you order the entire Milestone Series, but act now because the buy 3, get 1 free DVD sale ends on Wednesday at ROHwrestling.com.

June 5th: Chicago's own Colt Cabana will challenge whoever is the World Champion when ROH returns to Chicago Ridge, IL at the Frontier Fieldhouse on 6/24. Can Cabana win the big one in his hometown? We'll have much more on this match in the upcoming weeks.

June 5th: We have two huge matches to announce for "Death Before Dishonor IV" on July 15th in Philadelphia. Davey Richards made a very successful ROH debut last Saturday when he defeated one of ROH's biggest stars in Jimmy Rave. Now Richards is focused on another ROH veteran and a special challenge match has been signed for 7/15. It will be AJ Styles vs. Davey Richards in Philly!!! Save 20% on all tickets for this event now at ROHwrestling.com.

June 5th: Dragon Gate's Shingo Takagi impressed last Saturday. Now there will be another ROH vs. Dragon Gate Challenge Match on 7/15 in Philly. It will be Takagi vs. Delirious!!!

June 5th: Nigel McGuinness will defend the Pure Title on 7/15 in Philly if he is still champion.

June 5th: Roderick Strong told the ROHwrestling.com Newswire that he considers his 6/23 match vs. KENTA in Detroit as the biggest test of his career. Strong says he can't wait to chop KENTA and show him what a hard chop really is. Strong states that he is ready for any kicks that KENTA might use as retaliation.

i've been saying this ever since i saw it. Darren and i were talking about the greatest matches we've seen...and right away we both said this match. well Darren also said Danielson/Strong III, but that's a different story :P.

My question, do you guys think that they will give KENTA the belt at 6/17??  I would really like to see it but I doubt it will happen.shoot_em_up123

Do I want to see it happen?  Not really.  KENTA, while making more appearances, is still not a regular and there is still alot of gas in the Dragon Title reign.  I also don't think it'll happen, either.

Newswire, some more matches added:

June 7th: ROH officials had a long discussion with Homicide. ROH officials have promised Homicide an open contract for any match he wants on 6/17 in Manhattan. Homicide said he will return to New York City because it is his hometown and his people. Homicide will still wrestle Claudio Castagnoli on 6/23 in Detroit. In exchange, Homicide will receive a title shot in Chicago on 6/24. Since Colt Cabana is already scheduled to go after the World Title in Chicago, Homicide will receive a shot at Nigel McGuiness for the Pure Title on 6/24. Can Homicide finally win his first ever ROH Title? You can now get tickets for all three of these shows for 20% off at ROHwrestling.com. This includes both ringside and general admission tickets. Save ticket money and use it as gas money for these big events. Act now because the sale ends tonight at 10pm.

June 7th: Samoa Joe, Adam Pearce, BJ Whitmer & Ace Steel are calling out CZW for July 15th in Philadelphia. We want a CZW team in STEEL CAGE WARFARE when ROH returns to Philly.

June 7th: We have another big match to announce for 6/17 in Manhattan when ROH returns to the New Yorker in Manhattan. It will be a rematch from last Saturday as Jimmy Rave will face Davey Richards. Rave states that he is a ROH veteran and he is not going to let a newcomer like Richards make his name at Rave's expense. Rave has challenged for a rematch and Richards has accepted. Can Richards make it two in a row against an established ROH star like Rave? Save 20% on tickets for this and many other ROH events until 10pm tonight at ROHwrestling.com.

June 7th: The praise continues to come in for the seven show Milestone Series. Here is what Mike Johnson had to say the other day at PWInsider.com: "I had the chance over the weekend to watch some of Ring of Honor's answer to the old NWA Great American Bash tour, "The Milestone Series", made up of events in Philadelphia, New York, Detroit, and Chicago, and if there was ever a perfect opportunity to jump on board with following the product, this is it....there are dozens of highlights on the DVDs, including the promotion's ECW Arena debut, the phenomenal build of the ROH vs. CZW feud, Bryan Danielson & Samoa Joe vs. KENTA & Naomichi Marufuji tearing down the house in New York City, awesome old school promos from Jim Cornette, The Briscoe Brothers fulfilling their destiny as one of the best tag teams of this decade, Samoa Joe continuing to make his mark in the business, Roderick Strong performing with all of his potential in a tremendous match with Danielson that goes almost an hour, Jimmy Rave's continued excellence as the undercard heel that fans torment by throwing toilet paper at him in disgust, the emergence of Jimmy Jacobs as the annoying emo kid with one great ring entrance, BJ Whitmer finally finding his niche as the company's defender against CZW, amazing brawls involving Necro Butcher, Chris Hero, Samoa Joe, and Adam Pearce, among others, a six man tag from Philadelphia that was as good as anything ECW ever promoted during their height, Bryan Danielson laying down the exclamation point that he is the best in-ring technician who has come along in years, and much more. "

June 7th: 4/22/06 "The 100th Show" is now out on DVD at ROHwrestling.com. This is the final show of The Milestone Series and things end with an explosion as Team ROH of Samoa Joe, BJ Whitmer & Adam Pearce take on Team CZW of Chris Hero, Necro Butcher & Super Dragon in one of the most chaotic, violent and absolutely insane fights in ROH history.

Order this as part of the buy 3, get 1 free sale on ROH show, Straight Shootin' and Secrets Of The Ring DVDs that ends tonight at ROHwrestling.com.

June 7th: Attention ROH fans in Florida!!! There will be a ROH style show this Saturday in Orlando, FL when Full Impact Pro presents "Impact Of Honor" at the Downtown Orlando Recreation Center. The event will feature a Bryan Danielson ROH World Title defense against an opponent that will be named later today and a ROH Tag Title match as Austin Aries & Roderick Strong defend vs. Fast & Furious of Jay Fury & Jerrelle Clark plus Davey Richards vs. Shingo Takagi and much more. FIP is in Inverness, FL on Friday as Danielson defends the FIP Heavyweight Title against Sal Rinauro and Takagi takes on Erick Stevens. Check FullImpactPro.com for all the building and ticket info. There will be tickets available at the door on both nights.

June 8th: The new ROH Video Recap is up at ROHvideos.com. If you saw the backstage confrontation between ROH World Champion Bryan Danielson and Colt Cabana on the new Recap, then you know the surprising news. Cabana will not have to wait until June 24th in Chicago to get a ROH World Title shot. It will be Danielson vs. Cabana for the ROH World Title this Saturday when FIP presents "Impact Of Honor" in Orlando, FL. Check FullImpactPro.com for all the info on this show. The rematch of the "Impact Of Honor" bout will still take place on 6/24 in Chicago. Will Cabana walk into his hometown of Chicago with the belt?

June 8th: ROH Pure Champion Nigel McGuinness has announced his partner for 6/17 in NYC. It will be McGuinness and his former rival Colt Cabana challenging Roderick Strong & Austin Aries for the Tag Titles!!! Of course, Aries & Strong must first make it past this Saturday in Florida. Could Cabana leave NYC a double champion? We'll have more on this big match next week right here in the ROHwrestling.com Newswire.

June 8th: KENTA lost the GHC Jr. Title last week in NOAH. This makes the one fall, non-title three-way on 6/17 even more interesting. It will be arguably the three best wrestlers in the world in one match. Right now everyone is trying to pick a winner in the match pitting ROH World Champion Bryan Danielson vs. Samoa Joe vs. KENTA. Since KENTA no longer holds a belt this frees him up to go after the ROH World Title. KENTA has already defeated Danielson once. Danielson has stated that NOAH already used their contract for a title match last December so KENTA will not get a title match. If KENTA scores a fall over Danielson again on 6/17 he is definitely due a World Title shot and Danielson won't be able to deny that. The issue between Danielson and Samoa Joe escalated last weekend when Danielson chop blocked Joe's bad knee. If you saw the "Best In The World" tag bout with Joe and KENTA on opposite teams, you know about the intense rivalry between these athletes. Everyone in this match has an issue with each other. Who can claim to be the greatest competitor in ROH?

June 8th: ROH World Champion Bryan Danielson has an open contract to defend the belt against an English competitor on either the August 12th event in Liverpool or August 13th event at the Broxbourne Civic Hall. Check the main page of ROHwrestling.com for all the details on ROH's huge UK invasion including ticket info.

June 8th: Jay & Mark Briscoe have committed to be on every ROH show this year. The Briscoes have challenged Austin Aries & Roderick Strong to defend the Tag Titles against them one more time. Do The Briscoes deserve another shot at the belts?

June 8th: Davey Richards made a huge impression in his ROH debut last week. You can check out highlights in the new ROH Video Recap. Richards has signed on for every ROH event this year. He will also be a regular in FIP.

June 8th: Lacey vs. Allison Danger from last Saturday's preshow is up at ROHvideos.com. Watch this women's match for free!!!

June 8th: ROH, WLW and NOAH officials are currently negotiating KENTA's opponents for 8/4 in Long Island and 8/5 in Edison. KENTA will be against main event quality opponents on both shows. Tickets for both events are now on sale at ROHwrestling.com and by calling 215-781-2500.

June 8th: The Milestone Series is on fire at ROHwrestling.com. There are also lots of great non-ROH releases now at ROHwrestling.com. NOAH's first US release on DVD is now in stock and ready for immediate delivery at ROHwrestling.com.

GET FREE TICKETS FOR ROH'S JUNE 24TH SHOW IN CHICAGO
by Andy Scheeler @ 12:18:00 PM on 6/10/2006

Ring of Honor will be returning to Chicago on June 24th and WIPZ radio will be giving away five pairs of tickets to the show this coming Sunday from 2-5 pm CST during our special edition broadcast of The Wrestling War Room on WIPZ. Interested listeners can tune in online via our official website: www.wipzradio.com.

And WIPZ is the only place that has free tickets to give away for ring Of Honor's return to Chicago, IL. on June 24th!

Contact me at stationmanager@wipzradio.com if you are interested in going to the show, we have five pairs of tickets to give away, and also WIPZ will be granted exclusive backstage access prior to the show to interview the wrestlers of ROH!

Results from FIP's "Impact of Honor"

1. Sal Rinauro won over Canadian Cougar. It was a fine opener, although Sal was a bit botchful at points. It did not hurt the match though.

2. Alex Porteau won over Seth Delay. Seth Delay took a really nasty looking spill when he went to do basically a swanton if i recollect(I am kind of KOed from driving home) and he did not really hit Alex and hit his back on the floor really hard.

3. Four Way Fray
Chasyn Rance won the 4 way which included Korey Chavis,Kenny King, and Ryan Drago. Kenny King was really hot with the crowd and when he got eliminated(so it was down to Chasyn and Korey), there were some really heavy boos.

4. Shingo Takagi won over Davey Richards. This match was pretty good and my easy MOTN up to this point.

5. Steve Madison won over Erick Stevens. Erick Stevens got bloodied in this one when he got pushed into the turnbuckle pole. There was a ref bump and Chasyn Rance came out, and told Erick Stevens that he was just trying to get the ref up but helped Steve Madison get the win in a fine match.

6. Heartbreak Express beat a team of two jobbers that I did not know after they came out and issued an open challenge. One opponent was basically the size of Sean Davis if not bigger, and the other was a small guy wearing a mouse-like mask. Basically this match was to calm the crowd down. Bunches of yelling at Sean Davis for "being a whale" though.

7. Bryan Danielson retained over Colt Cabana. This match for the most part of the beginning was mostly comedy. Mainly due to some of the fans yelling that Danielson sucks b**ls. The match itself was pretty good though after the comedy aspect died down. The way the finish worked out was Cabana originally won the belt but Danielson had his foot on the ropes then they continued the match. Afterwards when Danielson pinned Cabana, Cabana's foot was on the ropes, but Danielson got the win anyway. There was the debate with two referees over who was the rightful winner and Danielson was ruled as the winner.

8. Austin Aries and Roderick Strong retained the ROH Tag Team Titles over Jay Fury and Jerrelle Clark. My personal MOTN. A bit spotty including Roderick throwing Clark into the chairs, basically destroying one of the chairs. Towards the end I got a bit distracted because security was kicking out a drunk guy who was standing by us at the corner on the guardrail and would not move. Aries and Strong got the win on Fury though with their Doomsday dropkick-powerbomb combo. Roderick got the mic afterwards and congratulated Fast and the Furious on taking the beating of a lifetime and basically if I am correct said that they would be in ROH soon. I am not sure exactly because my dad was talking to me on getting out of there.

Either way I thought the show was really good and lived up to the hype. Nice way to get my first FIP experience in. I was disappointed though that the Milestone Series was not available. I think it must have been a shipping error or something, but the merchandise selection was great anyway.

Good job on the show.

June 12th: FIP's "Impact Of Honor" event last Saturday in Orlando was a stellar event. ROH World Champion Bryan Danielson retained the belt with a controversial decision over Colt Cabana. Danielson hit Cabana with a roaring forearm at around the 22 minute mark. Danielson went for a cover, but at the two count Cabana got his foot on the rope. Danielson scooped Cabana's foot off the rope before the ref saw it and made the three count. Now Cabana is fired up for his rematch on 6/24 in Chicago. Cabana says he will not let the title slip away from him in his hometown.

June 12th: "Impact Of Honor" saw FIP triple its normal crowd in Orlando. The fans witnessed history as the ROH Tag Team Titles were defended for the first time outside of ROH. Austin Aries & Roderick Strong defeated Fast & Furious of Jerrelle Clark & Jay Fury in over 20 minutes in a match that tore the house down and received a standing ovation from the entire crowd. The DVD of "Impact Of Honor" will go into immediate production. Other results saw: Shingo Takagi defeated Davey Richards; Steve Madison defeated a bloody Erick Stevens with help from Chasyn Rance. Madison and Rance formed a new team; Sal Rinauro defeated Canadian Cougar; Alex Porteau defeated Seth Delay; Chasyn Rance won a Four Way Fray over Korey Chavis, Kenny King and Ryan Drago; The Heartbreak Express with So Cal Val defeated Masked Fipper #13 & Super FIP Machine; Dave Prazak also sent a warning that Homicide better be careful when he returns to FIP in July.

June 12th: Later this week we will have word from Christian Cage about Christopher Daniels' challenge in the newest ROH Video Recap at ROHvideos.com.

[QUOTE="shoot_em_up123"]WOW!! ROH vs CZW in Steel Cage Warefare and Cage of Death. How awesome is that!! Johnny181

all Steel Cage Warfare is is a wargames type match inside a steel cage. 2 men start, then ever 5 minutes another guy comes out.

Cage of Death is just a cage match with weapons literally everywhere. past COD's had a little area above the wrestlers where a bunch of weapons are held.

Oh, and what exactly is this Ultimate Endurance match that they mention?
Johnny181

It is a match that has yet to reach its potential and with the possible teams that could be in it this time around, it could easily be the best match of its kind.

 June 14th: ROH Pure Champion Nigel McGuinness and Colt Cabana have been in close contact as they prepare for their ROH Tag Title Match vs. Austin Aries & Roderick Strong this Saturday in Manhattan. McGuinness and Cabana were involved in a bitter feud last year that ended in a violent Soccer Riot Match at "Night Of The Grudges II" that saw both men show respect to each other afterwards. Cabana and McGuinness are both experts in the European style and they could use this style to defeat the champions. McGuinness selected Cabana as his partner because he knows how tough Cabana can be. McGuinness holds Pure Title wins over both Aries and Strong, can he beat them in a tag match and become the first double champion in ROH history? Will a ROH title finally change hands in 2006? Find out this Saturday when ROH returns to the New Yorker Hotel in Midtown Manhattan.

June 14th: There will be a bus trip from NYC to Cage Of Death at "Death Before Dishonor IV" on 7/15 in Philadelphia. Email Agentclpt@aol.com if you are interested.

June 14th: Four more names have been announced for ROH's tour of the UK. Davey Richards, Chad Collyer and Claudio Castagnoli have all signed to wrestle on the August 12th event in Liverpool and August 13th event in Broxbourne. Prince Nana will also be on the tour to manage Jimmy Rave. We will have some match announcements soon for these big events.

Briscoes vs Strong and Evans II ought to be sensational.  As good as their first match is (which I did eventually get, ROH's Customer Service is awesome), I think they are easily capable of topping it.

We can only hope. That match far exceeded any expectations I had for it even after hearing a good amount of praise, and Strong and Evans just seemed to work so naturally as a team. Oh, and the double-team moves they did were just sick.

Final Battle '05 - KENTA vs. Low Ki

This link isn't working. :?

Prior to the match, some people in the crowd threw TP directly at the hanging chandeliers in the New Yorker, so both guys had the match with shards of glass in the ring. This led to both getting pretty cut up and a fear that the athletic commission possibly stopping the match.

Pre-Show:

(a) Derrick Dempsey over Alex Payne, Bobby Dempsey, Pelle Primeau, Rhett Titus, & Matt Turner in a 6 Man Mayhem Match on the pre-show when Derrick forces Payne to tap out.

Main Show:

1.) In a match for ROHVideos.com, Jay & Mark Briscoe defeated Jason Blade & Sterling Keenan.

2.) Jake Crist over Marcos

Ricky Reyes was out with Julius Smokes and stated that since Jim Cornette won't book The Rottweilers, that they'd book themselves. Reyes challenged Dave Crist to a match.

3.) Ricky Reyes over Dave Crist

After the match, Chris Hero hit the ring from the crowd and KO'd Smokes with the CZW World Title.

This led to Homicide coming out and challenging Hero for later tonight with his "open challenge."

4.) Davey Richards over Jimmy Rave

Prior to the match, some people in the crowd threw TP directly at the hanging chandeliers in the New Yorker, so both guys had the match with shards of glass in the ring. This led to both getting pretty cut up and a fear that the athletic commission possibly stopping the match.

5.) Austin Aries & Roderick Strong over Nigel McGuinness & Colt Cabana when Strong made Nigel tap to the Stronghold

After the match, it was confirmed that ROH will debut at The Manhattan Center Ballroom on 9/16/06 with KENTA and Marufuji already booked.

6.) BJ Whitmer and Jimmy Jacobs fought to a No-Contest. If you've seen Dragon Gate Challenge, you know the bump that nearly killed Jimmy.

Well, it was topped here. BJ went to powerbomb Jimmy from the top again and instead of losing his balance, he INTENTIONALLY threw Jacobs and himself over the ringside barricade and ended up with both crashing in the ringside area. Neither man could continue. I imagine this will lead to Danielson v. Jacobs v. Whitmer next week in Detroit because this match was for a title shot.

8.) Adam Pearce over Claudio Castagnoli via DQ

Hero caused the DQ when he hit the ring a KO'd Pearce with the CZW World Title.

9.) Homicide over Chris Hero via pinfall

After the match Homicide did challenge Bryan Danielson to a ROH World Title Match at Final Battle 2006 and it was implied that it will be in NYC.

After the match, it was confirmed that ROH will debut at The Manhattan Center Ballroom on 9/16/06 with KENTA and Marufuji already booked.

Also, isn't the Manhattan Center Ballroom where they used to tape Raw back in the early days.  That was an awesome, unique venue and would be really cool for ROH to run.

Also, am I the only one drooling about how awesome Aires and Strong vs Marufuji and KENTA for the ROH Tag Titles could be if that were the main event?  It'd be an awesome way to start off that venue, IMO.
