Ring of Honor issued a press release on Friday. To read the full press release, visit ROHWrestling.com.
-ROH's top officials and AAA's top officials recently met face-to-face in Manhattan, NY to discuss talent exchanges and other ventures. Nothing has been confirmed yet, but talks have been very positive. It looks like partnership is developing between ROH, AAA and Pro Wrestling NOAH. ROH also has Dragon Gate, FIP and SHIMMER as partners. The NWA World Heavyweight Title is also now in ROH. This means that ROH has working relationships with NOAH, Dragon Gate, FIP, SHIMMER, NWA and a growing one with AAA.
-ROH's summer will feature a number of special guests to help keep things fresh including Jerry Lynn on 6/28 in Chicago and Lance Storm on 7/25 in Toronto and 7/26 in Detroit. Alex Shelley & Chris Sabin will compete on 8/1 in Manasses and 8/2 in Manhattan. Naomichi Marufuji will join ROH for a one week tour that will include 7/25, 7/26, 8/1 & 8/2.
-ROH's next national DVDs will be released in FYE and retail stores everywhere on July 8th. They are Ring Of Honor "Best In The World" and "Greatest Rivalries" from KOCH Vision. Both DVDs feature Bryan Danielson, Austin Aries, CM Punk, Samoa Joe, Mick Foley and many others.
-Look for ROH to increase its internet presence soon. Details are on their way.
-ROH's next pay-per-view is "Respect Is Earned II" and it will premiere on August 1st on iN DEMAND, The DISH Network and TVN cable systems. Bryan Danielson and Austin Aries are featured in the advertising.
Powell's POV: As for the working agreement with AAA, I can tell you that officials from the Mexican promotion feel they have a deal in place. However, it appears ROH officials feel otherwise.
As for ROH increasing their internet presence, I have it on good authority that the company intends to deliver podcasts and videos, as well as pre- and post-show footage from their events with the likely launch of next Friday's show in Dayton. Another feature will allow fans to send their questions to ROH with the goal of keeping fans connected to the wrestlers.
