ROH Newswire 12/11

[Chuckie Finster]

December 11th: It is not too late to witness "Man Up" on pay-per-view!!! There is replay TONIGHT on iN DEMAND at 9pm. "Man Up" isn't just receiving rave reviews from fans and critics. Check out what well respected wrestler Lance Strom had to say about ROH "Man Up" on Stormwrestling.com: "If you are looking for a faster paced, more realistic alternative to WWE or even TNA, ROH is where you should be looking. ROH Man Up provided death defying stunts, great wrestling, amazing high spots, with great easy to follow booking and story telling, with none of the embarrassing mindless nonsense, of Leprechauns running through walls, pointless gimmick matches, endless run ins, and un honored promises and stipulations. ROH isn’t Sports Entertainment, ROH is an Entertaining Sport; ROH is WRESTLING....and if you haven’t seen Man Up yet, you have to order this show on replay or track it down on DVD. It’s the most entertainment per dollar you can find on PPV. Congratulations to everyone who worked on this show, and thank you for the entertainment you provided me."

December 11th: Roderick Strong will defend the FIP World Heavyweight Title against Erick Stevens at "Final Battle 2007" on 12/30 at the Manhattan Center in NYC. You can now save 30% on tickets to this and all other ROH live events for two days only at ROHwrestling.com. This is a rematch from the stellar bout at "Man Up," but the stakes are even higher as the FIP belt will be on the line. Tomorrow's ROHwrestling.com Newswire will have complete details of the future of Full Impact Pro.

December 11th: The 1/25 Dayton event will be the biggest card to hit Dayton yet. We already know you will see Nigel McGuinness vs. Chris Hero and if either is ROH World Champion the belt will be on the line. After what happened last time in Dayton this is sure to be a hot match. Another big match has been signed for 1/25. The last Dayton event saw Jack Evans & Ruckus defeat The Briscoes in a non-title Tag Team Scramble. 1/25 will be Evans & Ruckus vs. The Briscoes and if Jay & Mark are champions they will put the titles on the line.

Well, Dave Meltzer just saw the DVD and here is what he had to say in the December 3rd Wrestling Observer Newsletter: "(Takeshi Morishima vs. Bryan Danielson) Just an incredible match. This was even better than the ("Man Up") PPV match and in my mind, one of the top three matches I've seen all year. I'd go ****3/4....I can't come up with a WWE match this year even near its level...."

December 11th: Former ROH World Champion Takeshi Morishima received a high honor in Japan for his great 2007 including his ROH World Title reign. Morishima was awarded the Fighting Spirit prize in the 2007 Tokyo Sports Awards. Mitsuharu Misawa, who also saw action in ROH, was crowned MVP of 2007. You only see the best in ROH!!!

I think we might actually see an FIP Title change in ROH(well, It would actually be the 2nd time it would change)

I'm thinkin' the same thing. If anyone has a chance of beating Roderick in ROH it is Stevens, because at least he's another Florida native that is a mainstay at all the FIP shows....

I was in attendance for the first FIP Title change in ROH.

Tomorrow's ROHwrestling.com Newswire will have complete details of the future of Full Impact Pro.

Just so long as the company has a future. I'd hate to get in to a company right as it goes out of business. And please note, I mean no disrespect to Sal and his late wife. RIP.

EDIT: www.fullimpactpro.com lists FIP's next date as Saturday, Feb. 16. So, feel free to completely disregard the second half of my post.
