I don't know how they're gonna fill the tournament with 16 names as awesome as the ones already mentioned but so far this sounds great.

[mcmahonfan85]

i'm still holding out hope for Shelley, and they'll probably bring in a NOAH wrestler or two. Joey Ryan is a possibility now. if Colt can get over Jim Cornette dropping him from ROH, he could be brought back. since Delirious is booking we could see a CHIKARA wrestler or two come in, maybe Kingston or Wicked

[Magic knows Black Lives Matter]

Even though he hasn't even been announced yet, I'll make this prediction.

Adam Cole is going all the way.

[mcmahonfan85]

i want a gif of Bobby Fish saying "Way to check your sources, asshole!" to use of every patently obvious bullshit newz report

Rhino vs Ciampa added to the Milwaukee card, I hope RD shows up.

#6 is Roderick Strong

THE FOREVER HOOLIGANS ARE BACK!
The Tag Division Heat Up This Summer....



Just a few months ago in Chicago Ridge two men made their return to Ring of Honor for the “11th Anniversary Event” and the subsequent ROH TV Tapings: Rocky Romero & Alex Koslov collectively known as The Forever Hooligans! On the first night the highly decorated pair from New Japan went head-to-head with The American Wolves in an unsuccessful endeavor but one that left the fans wanting to see more of The Hooligans. They got it less than 24 hours later when Romero & Koslov unsuccessfully challenged newly crowned World Tag Team Champions reDRagon (Kyle O'Reilly & Bobby Fish) and again the fans wanted more...


Well we are excited to announce that this summer you are going to get it because Rocky Romero & Alex Koslov will be participating in THREE live events this summer! They make their return in just a few short weeks when Ring of Honor heads to Providence on July 27th for ROH TV Tapings, then the pair makes the trip to Toronto on August 3rd for the loaded “All Star Extravaganza V” event, and finally they will be a part of “Manhattan Mayhem V” in NYC on August 17th!


“It is a pleasure to have Rocky Romero and Alex Koslov back in ROH this summer.” said Nigel McGuinness, “They are two of the best wrestlers in the world by themselves and as a duo, well there is a reason they have been decorated champions in Japan. As I said before, this summer tag team wrestling will be at the forefront of Ring of Honor and if that is the case then we need the best teams, both inside and outside of ROH, competing in the division. I am hoping The Hooligans are just the beginning and there will be more teams to come! I also hope reDRagon is paying attention because those championships are going to make you marked men.”


The Forever Hooligans (Rocky Romero & Alex Koslov) make their return to ROH this summer for THREE big live events in Providence on 7/27, Toronto on 8/3, and New York City on 8/17! Stay tuned to ROHWrestling.com for information on The Hooligans specific matches for each night as well as more announcements!

Results from A NIGHT OF HOOPLA~! last night in Merrionette Park, IL...

ROH "Night of Hoopla" show results
July 11, 2013
Chicago, Ill.
Report by Basil Mahmud, PWTorch correspondent

Truth Martini started off the night by welcoming everyone to "Night of Hoopla." He was the guest announcer for all the matches tonight.

(1) ROH TV champion Matt Taven beat Eddie Edwards and Adam Cole in a three-way non-title match. This match started off the night as funny with Cole and Edwards doing the Code to everyone around ringside and then a bunch of fans around the crowd. The Hoopla Hotties also had a lot of fun interacting with the crowd. At the end of the match, the crowd was chanting "Eiffel Tower" at one of the Hoopla Hotties. Taven ended up getting the pinfall over Edwards. Eddie and Adam did the Eiffel Tower move in the ring again after the match. Hilarious stuff.

- Jimmy Jacobs performed a few of his songs. One of the fans chanted "Uncle Jesse" at Jacobs, so Jimmy did a line from a song from "Full House." Again, another funny moment that wouldn't happen on a normal show.

(2) "King Machismo" Jay Lethal (w/"Sensational Sherri") beat Delirious with Maria Kanellis as special guest referee. Machismo and Sherri come out on a rolling pallet to the ring. And then Lethal cut a promo on the "Warrior" before Delirious came out. Then, they re-created the entire Macho Man vs. The Ultimate Warrior retirement match from WrestleMania VII. They did everything from the five elbow drops to the three clotheslines out of the ring. The only thing they changed was having Lethal do a schoolboy roll-up at the end to get the win.

After the match, Lethal started to call Maria "Liz" or "Elizabet" (yes, "Elizabet" with no "h"), and then he proposed to her. She said "no" the first time because she's only with Mike Bennett. But, Lethal proposed a second time and she said "yes" before Bennett grabbed her and took her away.

- Next was a Hoopla Hottie "Take Your Pants Off Dance-Off." A bunch of the Hooplas came out and "Judge" Jeff Jones was the judge for the contest. All of the Hooplas started to take their pants off and dance on poles and with the crowd. Right before Judge announced the winner, Davey Richards came out and talked about how ROH was built on wrestling, not dancing. He then talked about Samoa Joe, Bryan Danielson, and C.M. Punk. He then said there is only one thing to do...hit the music. And Davey's personality went crazy! He started humping the ropes and grinding up on the Hoopla Hotties and making out with them. The Judge awarded Davey as the winner of the Dance-off.

Silas Young then interrupted the celebration to start their match.

(3) Davey Richards beat Silas Young in a "Lumberjill" match. Silas spent a lot of the beginning of the match outside of the ring. So, Truth Martini said they need to have a Lumberjill match, which led to a bunch of dudes dressed up in drag coming out to a "This is Awkward" chant from the crowd. Davey and Silas did a new "Code of Honor" when the Lumberjills came out to protect each other. They eventually had a good back and forth match with Davey winning by Anklelock.

[ Intermission featured a band called the "Beach Bum Alcoholics," which consisted of random swearing with acoustic guitars. They got boo'd off stage at the end. ]

(4) ROH Tag Team champions reDRagon beat Roderick Strong & Cheeseburger. Probably the most "normal" match of the night, the crowd was behind Cheeseburger the entire match. There were some good spots that kept the crowd into the entire match.

- Truth Martini introduced "The Devil" to the crowd. An okay segment, but very weird with a bunch of yelling and the Hoopla Hotties beating him up and getting his pants taken off.

(5) Michael Elgin & B.J. Whitmer & MsChif beat A.C.H. & Tadarius Thomas & Athena in a six-person tag match. So many crazy, hilarious spots in this match, and a lot of the inter-gender action was really good. During the match, Elgin had a dance-off against A.C.H. and Thomas. Elgin even did the worm in the middle of ring. There were a lot of spots where A.C.H. was scared of MsChif and would run screaming away from her when she screamed. Then, whenever there was spot with Elgin and Athena, MsChif would get upset and pull the wife routine. A lot of great action between the two teams. Then final spot had Elgin making out with MsChif and then turning around and spitting a Green Mist in Thomas's face for the win. Great match to end a crazy night!

Overall, the night was awesome and no one knew what to expect. The crowd was into all the matches and laughing the entire night. Everyone breaking character just a little bit made the night special. The weird booking worked and everyone seemed to have a great night.
