Newswire For The Week Of June 10th
Monday, June 11, 2007
June 11th: Matt Sydal has selected his partner for his ROH World Tag Team Title shot against Champions Jay & Mark Briscoe on June 22nd in Dayton. It will be a rematch of the show stealing match from ROH's "Respect Is Earned" PPV taping, but with a different twist. Sydal has selected a competitor who is very familiar with The Briscoes. Dayton on June 22nd will see Jay & Mark Briscoe vs. Matt Sydal & Claudio Castagnoli in a 2/3 Falls Match for the ROH World Tag Team Titles. The Briscoes requested a 2/3 Falls Match so they can keep their streak alive of winning these bouts in two straight falls. They defeated the duo of Austin Aries & Roderick Strong in two straight falls at "Dedicated" last January and then the duo of Castagnoli & Chris Hero in two straight falls last Saturday in Philadelphia. Can The Briscoes keep the streak alive in Dayton? We'll have much more on this match in the upcoming weeks. Get tickets now at ROHwrestling.com or by calling 215-781-2500.
June 11th: "Death Before Dishonor" will be a weekend event on August 10th in Boston and August 11th in Philadelphia.
