anybody know who the members of Nuclear Casserole are?

FIP results tonight listed them as Nuclear Kaasarole (Chase Brown and Peter Kaasa). i guess the fact that casserole was spelled different made it hard to find the on the interwebs.

I watched the first half of the FIP show just now and they were in the opener. Impressive again. They definitely need to work on some things, but if they stay healthy and keep working hard, they can be a lot of fun in some bigger promotions.

They are one of the newer alliances in ROH, but they have already proven they have the potential to win gold - and sooner rather than later! There is absolutely no doubt that Ring of Honor has the best tag team division on the planet, and matches like this one showcase just how stacked it is.

RING OF HONOR WRESTLING PRESENTS:
FIELD OF HONOR '15
SATURDAY, AUGUST 22ND, 2015
1904 SURF AVENUE
BROOKLYN, NEW YORK

WHO CAN DETHRONE THE ADDICTION?



Ring of Honor has always been serious about tag team wrestling, but the current scene in ROH is quite possibly the hottest and most competitive it has ever been! Right now, every single team in ROH is competing at the highest level. And virtually every team can be considered eligible for a championship opportunity!

The Addiction shocked the world when they revealed themselves as having been the masked mysterious "Knights of the Rising Dawn" and brought Chris Sabin back to Ring of Honor! The Addiction have managed to hang on to their ROH World Tag Team Championships, though their methods - including the frequent inference of Sabin - are less than honorable. Regardless of the tactics that got them there, Christopher Daniels and Frankie Kazarian remain THE team to beat in Ring of Honor.

reDRgon have been embroiled in a heated rivalry with the current champions, who ended reDRagon's reign in San Antonio. Fish and O'Reilly refused to take the loss lying down, and have been gunning for The Addiction ever since, including a brutal No Disqualification match. Thus far, The Addiction have used any means necessary to still come out on top whenever their championships are on the line.

Speaking of Kyle O'Reilly, the most recent episode of ROH TV saw a surprising reunion between him and his FORMER tag team partner, Adam Cole! The return of FUTURESHOCK was just for one night only...or was it? With Adam Cole taking on Christopher Daniels at FUTURE OF HONOR, the issues between the former world champion and The Addiction are far from settled. But while Cole might be enjoying this blast from the past reunion with Kyle O'Reilly, The Kingdom seem less than pleased.

Michael Bennet and Matt Taven have found incredible success as a tag team, both here and in NJPW, where they won the IWGP Tag Team Championship. Guided, as always, by Maria Kanellis, at this point The Kingdom have to be considered perennial top contenders for any championship in the world. Whether you love them or you hate them, Bennett and Taven have proven their critics wrong with every step of their success.

In NJPW, The Kingdom have forged an alliance with CHAOS, including the team of RPG Vice! Beretta and Rocky Romero gelled almost instantly and haven't wasted a moment establishing themselves as one of the top teams in the world. But their top rivals in Japan, The Young Bucks, would definitely claim the title of "best tag team on the planet" for their own! The Bucks have collected title reigns all around the world, and are always looking for an opportunity to reclaim the ROH World Tag Team Championship!

On the most recent episode of ROH TV, The Young Bucks took on the most physically dominant tag team in Ring of Honor...WAR MACHINE! Hanson and Rowe have the size and power advantage of nearly everyone they wrestle, anywhere. Although they have yet to win a championship in ROH, virtually everyone agrees it's a matter of "when" and not "if" War Machine will snag the gold.

The first major rivalry War Machine developed was with ROH legends, the Briscoe Brothers! As a unit, Jay and Mark Briscoe hold the record for most ROH World Tag Team Championship reigns. Even though their careers have often steered them in the direction of singles action, Dem Boys are always ready to reunite and add another championship to their seemingly unsurpassable resume! But while The Briscoes have been a team all their lives, some of the newer alliances in ROH are also commanding attention.

ACH and Matt Sydal fit together seamlessly as two of the most exciting, high risk athletes in all of professional wrestling! Former friendly rivals who have forged a common bond as a team, Sydal and ACH are quickly developing into a major force in the title picture. But when the subject is "champion," you cannot forget the influence of Truth Martini and his House of Truth. Martini led Jay Lethal to the World Television Championship and, eventually, guided him to become the undisputed ROH World Champion at the same time! Martini's extra muscle comes in the form of J. Diesel and 2015 ROH Top Prospect Donovan Dijak. Recently, Diesel and Dijak have been teaming up...does Truth Martini have his sights set on claiming ALL the gold for the House of Truth?

Christopher Daniels and Frankie Kazarian are at the top of the mountain right now and they intend to stay there. Who will dethrone The Addiction? With with so many ambitious, world caliber teams in ROH right now, they have to realize that the competition for their championship is only going to get hotter! When you're talking about the best tag team wrestling on the planet, there's simply no place like Ring of Honor!

GAUNTLET MATCH FOR ROH WORLD TV TITLE MATCH 9/19 IN SAN ANTONIO, TEXAS!
Saturday, August 22nd, 2015 - MCU Park - Brooklyn, NY



Ring of Honor Wrestling (“ROH”) will return to Brooklyn, New York on Saturday, August 22nd, 2015 to present FIELD OF HONOR ’15 at MCU Park in Brooklyn, NY. This year, stars from NJPW will be joining us for even more incredible action!

“Wrestling has a rich history at ballparks dating back almost a hundred years and we are excited to return to MCU Park, to celebrate that history by partnering with the Brooklyn Cyclones,” said Joe Koff, COO of Ring of Honor.

Tickets for this event are be on sale now and can be purchased by clicking HERE!

Tickets also available by phone at 718-507-TIXX or in person at the MCU Park Box Office.

ROH Officials have just signed a huge match pitting some of the biggest stars against each other, and a shot at the ROH World Television Championship is on the line! We already know that Jay Lethal is scheduled to defend his TV Championship against Bobby Fish on September 18th at the first night of ALL STAR EXTRAVAGANZA. But we can now confirm that the TV Championship will ALSO be defended the second night of ALL STAR EXTRAVAGANZA on September 19th! And we will learn who that challenger will be at FIELD OF HONOR! Just signed...a GAUNTLET MATCH for an ROH World Television Championship opportunity!

Here are the participants in this massive Gauntlet Match:

- FRANKIE KAZARIAN: He is the current ROH World Tag Team Champion alongside his partner, Christopher Daniels. A win on August 22nd will send Kazarian to San Antonio with a shot at more gold. He could become a double champion!

-CEDRIC ALEXANDER w/VEDA SCOTT: He has a brand new attitude and gunning for championships. Alexander also has experience with outlasting a gauntlet, as he came out the victor in last year's big Golden Gauntlet. But there's another man entered in this match who has Cedric and Veda in his sights...

-MOOSE w/STOKELY HATHAWAY: Moose is no doubt hoping to find himself in the ring with the man who has handed him his only 2 pinball defeats in Ring of Honor. Moose had an incredible rookie year in ROH, but gold has remained out of his grasp. A World Television Championship opportunity could change that quickly!

-SILAS YOUNG: A tenured veteran of professional wrestling with a massive chip on his shoulder, Silas Young has yet to hold a championship in ROH. And on August 22nd he will need to remain focused on the big picture. That's because the next entrant in the match has distracted and infuriated Young for weeks and weeks...

-DALTON CASTLE: Castle and his Boys have really hit a sore spot with Silas Young, costing him matches and humiliating him as he grows more and more enraged. But at the same time, Dalton Castle is on a huge upswing in ROH after making an indelible impression in the Top Prospect Tournament. Could he win a championship this early on?

-WATANABE: After the recent joint endeavors between NJPW and ROH, Watanabe has seen his popularity and confidence grow! But he knows he still has a lot to prove. The first step could be a TV Championship opportunity!

- ADAM PAGE: Adam Page preaches that opportunities are earned...while at the same time constantly complaining that he hasn't been given what he thinks he deserves. Page wants to be in the main event and feels he is owed that opportunity. Now he gets the chance to prove it if he survives this Gauntlet!

-DONOVAN DIJAK: The 2015 ROH Top Prospect will find himself in an interesting predicament on August 22nd. On the one hand, Dijak is clearly destined for greatness and wants to earn all the accolades he can - and as soon as possible. On the other hand, the ROH World Television Championship is currently held by Dijak's cohort in the House of Truth, Jay Lethal! Dijak is ambitious as he is talented...but he's also under the guidance of Truth Martini. How does Martini feel about the possibility of Dijak vs. Lethal in San Antonio?!

Only one of these eight ROH stars will survive the Gauntlet. The first two entrants will wrestle until we have a winner, at which point the next combatant hits the ring! And there is no way to fully prepare as none of these athletes will know who they will have to face until the match is underway! Be there LIVE at FIELD OF HONOR for this and many more huge matches.

A VIEW OF THE FUTURE WITH THE WOMEN OF HONOR



“Death Before Dishonor Weekend” in Baltimore saw Lethal and Strong go the distance in an amazing 60-minute draw, ROH proved it has the deepest tag team division anywhere in the wrestling world and there was a welcome surprise to kick off Night Two’s action.

The return of the Women of Honor is underway. Great women’s wrestling in ROH has been a major factor of the company’s history from Sara Del Rey and Daizee Haze, to ODB and the “First Lady of ROH” and ruler of the Kingdom, Maria Kanellis. ROH officials thought it was high time to give deserving woman wrestlers a chance. In the match we saw in Baltimore, the host of “Inside ROH” and ROH Dojo product, Mandy Leon, went up against Rip Rogers trainee and one of the toughest women in wrestling, Deonna Purrazzo.

This was Leon and Purrazzo’s first opportunity inside an ROH ring, and they did not take it lightly. Purrazzo put on one heck of a fight, but the “Leon-sault” sealed the deal and Mandy made her Women of Honor and ROH debut a successful one. Yet, the moment many people will be talking about will be the surprise appearance of Taeler Hendrix, as she made her presence felt in Ring of Honor.

ROH officials were very impressed with both Leon and Purazzo while being interested to learn the motives of Hendrix. Rumors are circulating that there could be more Women of Honor matches coming soon and that may just be the start of things to come.

Enjoy this special “Women of Honor” match – Mandy Leon vs Deonna Purrazzo, as called by Ian Riccaboni and Matt Ryan.

Welcome to the forums! Really enjoyed seeing you at the NYC ROH tapings. When can we catch you next?

I'm not gonna lie, I'm sold on Nuclear Kassarole sight unseen just because of the name. So hearing that they're promising in the ring is just icing.

They're worth checking out. Definitely tons of potential.

Has ROH had an Iron Man match since I think the first title match? Just watching ROH from last week and hearing Strong talk about going 60 minutes had me thinking. I really think they could pull off one of if not the best, but I also know they aren't the most popular matches either.

THE YOUNG BUCKS VS ADDICTION FOR THE ROH WORLD TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP
Friday, August 21st, 2015 - 2300 Arena - Philadelphia, PA - 7:30pm Bell Time



The Ring of Honor AFTERSHOCK TOUR is making a stop at the legendary 2300 Arena in Philadelphia, PA! On August 21st, all your favorite ROH athletes will be there LIVE...and they are joined by stars from NJPW! Every professional wrestling fan appreciates the history tradition that thrives in Philadelphia and inside the walls of the 2300 Arena. The summer of 2015 is huge for the greatest professional wrestling on the planet. You need to be there LIVE on August 21st to see what happens next.

200 standing room only tickets have just been made available for the Philadelphia stop of the AFTERSHOCK tour, click HERE to purchase them, but don't wait as they are sure to sell out!

ROH WORLD TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP
The Addiction (Christopher Daniels & Frankie Kazarian) vs. The Young Bucks (Nick & Matt Jackson)

The Addiction have proven to be not only a team with great physical tools, but also great at getting inside the heads of their opponents. The veteran duo has reigned over the best tag team division in professional wrestling for 4 months and the competition is only getting tougher.

The Young Bucks come into this title opportunity as near favorites. As former ROH World Tag Team Champions and current IWGP Jr Heavyweight Tag Team Champions, The Young Bucks are coming to Philly with their trademark confidence. The brash youngsters are looking to become dual champions once again.

Daniels and Kazarian will have their work cut out for them. The Young Bucks rarely ever travel without Bullet Club backup and this may be the one time the champions do not have that mental edge heading into a defense. Will the Philly faithful see the crowning of “The Superkick Party” as 2x ROH World Tag Team Champions? Or can the champions successfully fend off another credible threat to their impressive reign?

(BALTIMORE, MD) – Ring of Honor announced that their Chief Operating Officer, Joe Koff, will host a Reddit AMA (“Ask-Me-Anything”) on Wednesday, August 12th from 3 p.m. to 4 p.m. ET. The event will be held within the “Squared Circle” sub-reddit.

All fans of pro-wrestling are invited to ask questions of the head of the promotion that boasts the best wrestling on the planet.

“Ring of Honor has the absolute best fans in world,” said Joe Koff, COO of Ring of Honor. “We’re always listening to feedback, but hosting this AMA on Reddit will be a really fun event that gives all wrestling fans a chance to ask questions about ROH directly. Our fans are the core of our company, so I’m really excited to talk with them. For anyone not familiar with Ring of Honor, come have a chat!”

Ring of Honor will hold more AMAs in the coming months, with additional details on featured hosts, dates, ways for fans to interact, and other information to be announced at a later time.

So this was yesterday. Anybody check it out?

In his AMA Joe Koff announced that Moose will take on Jay Briscoe in Atlanta.

Few other notes: He mentions that there are changes on the way to the Ringside Membership, talent decisions (Low Ki, Chris Hero and Colt specifically mentioned) are made by the booker though he and the rest of the guys love Chris and Colt, no plans with Aries because of schedule, he has no clue what Botchamania is, hopes to have RD Evans back soon, and they're working on a UK TV deal. Not much really, almost more of a feedback bit.
