Ring of Honor – Death Before Dishonor IX
Ring of Honor’s Death Before Dishonor IX was another great outing by the #1 cutting edge professional wrestling organization in North America and really set the table for ROH’s big jump into its weekly national television program that is set to debut later this month on the Sinclair Broadcast Group of channels throughout the country. Death Before Dishonor IX was a stacked 7-bout card that featured excellent matches from top to bottom and gave the fans great in-ring work that ROH is famous for.
In the main event, The All Night Express (Rhett Titus and Kenny King) defeated the Briscoe Brothers (Mark and Jay) in a bloody and death defying Ladder War III. The match was chalk full of wild exchanges and jaw-dropping moves by all four men that left you feeling like you had just ridden the world’s wildest rollercoaster after it was all over. To their credit, Titus and King earned a future title shot for the ROH World Tag Team Titles when Kenny King, standing atop the ladder, grabbed the contract that was hanging above the ring. With all of the damage Titus and King dished out and received, it’s anyone’s guess as to when they will be ready to compete for the championship belts.
In the co-main event, in a Ringmaster Challenge – 2 out of 3 Falls Match it was a battle of former ROH World Champions as Eddie Edwards defeated Roderick Strong after additional time was needed to determine a winner in the third fall. After each grappler scored a win in the first 2 matches (pinfall and submission), the final match, an Iron Man Match went the distance, indicating the contest would be ruled a draw. But Jim Cornette came out to the ring and ordered the match to continue until a winner was decided. After a series of near falls and Edwards and Strong trading stiff shots, Edwards finally got the pin when he delivered a merciless series of powerbombs, a clothesline and a cradle driver. This sets up a rematch between ROH Champion Davey Richards and the man he beat for the title, Eddie Edwards. If their future match is anything like their previous matches, pro wrestling fans are in for another treat when the American Wolves lock up again.
Catch all of the action, including the World’s Greatest Tag Team (Shelton Benjamin and Charlies Haas) in rare singles action as Ring of Honor presents Death Before Dishonor IX, coming from the sold out Manhattan Center in New York, New York. DBD IX is the final pay-per-view before ROH goes national with its new television deal. Don’t miss all of the action and storylines to come out of this exciting event that will get you ready for the ROH debut on the national scene.

Impact Zone Wrestling: Danny Hodge Invitational
Four tag teams are now involved in the actuall Invitational Tournament, where the winner will be presented with a trophy and $1,000 from the Oklahoma Legend, Danny Hodge. The four tag teams involved in the semi-finals have all had to earn their spot in the Tournament. “The Vulture” Kenny Campbell and Dustin Heritage defeated Soto Miyagi and the Midnite Rider for their spot, while Aerial Assault (Ky-ote Joe and Montego Seeka) defeated the “Awesome One” Kevin Morgan and Wage. This will also be Ky-ote Joe’s return since being injured in that match. Current Tag Team Champions the Old School Suckas (Bernie D and Coach Gary Tool) defeated “Mr. Money” Randy Price and IZW Heavyweight Champion Jermaine Johnson. The Future Hall of Famers (Bad Brad Michaels and John O’Malley) were the only team in the Tournament to be allowed a bye after Nemesis had to pull out due to injury. What teams will advance to the finals of the Tournament that the event is named for? Which team will stand in victory at the end of the evening? How will this event affect the IZW tag team landscape?
In the newest match of their longstanding rivalry, Erica will once again be facing Starr. What will be the outcome of the latest chapter in this feud? A truly brutal match will also be taking place as the “Widowmaker” Angel Williams takes on Wage in a Dog Collar Chain match. Wage got himself intentionally disqualified at Redemption by using the chain, but there will be no way out in this match. There will be no mercy displayed as these men will come ready to tear the other apart. Who will be standing at the end of this war?
And in the main event of the evening, an epic eight man tag team match will take place. It will be Team Johnny Z vs. Impact, Inc. in what is sure to be a match that will be an important moment in IZW’s history. Team Johnny Z has been revealed one by one, and now contains Johnny Z’s unlikely allies in Double D and the “Real Deal” Aaron Neil. But there is now a new, fascinating piece that has been added to the alliance. That piece is Brent Albright’s return to professional wrestling after a two year absence. Albright has competed all over the world, including for the WWE. He has competed in Ring of Honor and is a former NWA Heavyweight Champion. But he has not competed in a wrestling ring since 2009…and all eyes will be on this match as this worldwide superstar makes his return to the sport at this event. Now, the match will feature the leader of Impact, Inc., Jeff Wolfenbarger as he leads his team of IZW Heavyweight Champion Jermaine Johnson, “Mr. Money” Randy Price and “Mr. Saturday Night” Michael Barry as they face Johnny Z’s team of Double D, the “Real Deal” Aaron Neil and Brent Albright. What will happen in this massive main event?
