- The brackets for the ROH World Television Title Tournament were released earlier this week (http://rohwrestling.com/news/article.aspx?id=3206) and the buzz has started. Eight men will enter the Arena in Philadelphia next weekend with aspirations of becoming the very first ROH World Television Champion. Who will win?

Give your thoughts at www.twitter.com/rohonhdnet, www.facebook.com/ringofhonor, or feel free to sound off at our trusty Myspace at www.myspace.com/ringofhonor!

- Singles action has been signed for the 8th Anniversary Show on February 13th in Midtown Manhattan! The Human Tornado makes his Ring of Honor return tomorrow night in Los Angeles taking on Kevin Steen, and it looks like he’s not done writing his own chapter in the Steen/Generico story. ROH officials received a match petition from Tornado earlier in the week, and it is now official. The Human Tornado will battle with Steve Corino in New York on February 13th! “I told Cabana to watch out who he stands up for,” said Corino. “And if Tornado wants to open himself to the same warning, that’s on him. I’m only concerned with guiding Kevin Steen to greatness, and anyone in the way is simply collateral damage.” Can H-Tizzle get it done in NYC? Be there and find out! Get your tickets now at www.rohwrestling.com!
- Only SIX spots remain open in the special training seminar and tryout camp on Sunday, March 7th, 2010. This camp is spearheaded by ROH on HDNet Executive Producer Jim Cornette, and will also be attended by ROH owner Cary Silkin, booker Adam Pearce, and head trainer Delirious from the ROH Academy. The seminar is open to any current pro wrestler with at least one year’s experience, so if you think you’ve got what it takes to become part of Ring of Honor, don’t delay in securing your place, check out all of the information at http://www.rohwrestling.com/news/article.aspx?id=3192!
- The World Tag Team Titles will be on the line in New York on February 13th. As was reported at ROHWrestling.com (http://rohwrestling.com/news/article.aspx?id=3205), the Briscoe Brothers will make their first title defense since winning the titles against Kory Chavis and Jon Davis – The Dark City Fight Club! These two teams have battled on TV and in arenas, and now it comes to the Big Apple! Could the Briscoes be looking past the DCFC toward the Kings of Wrestling? And what is their status for February 13th? Chris Hero has been announced for the event, but not Claudio Castagnoli. We’ll have more on this as it develops.
