- This Saturday Ring of Honor presents “Supercard of Honor VI” emanating from the Frontier Fieldhouse in Chicago Ridge, IL. It will be a premium Supercard from our established ROH roster of world class athletes that you won’t want to miss! “Supercard of Honor VI” will deliver an extraordinary night of pro WRESTLING to the fans in Chicago and we recommend going out of your way to attend because May 21st will be a day that ROH goes to the next level. WRESTLING is our foundation, our passion, and our love. Come out and see what we do best. You won’t be disappointed! Get your tickets in advance (http://www.rohstore.com/index.php?dispatch=products.view&product_id=201) or purchase them at the door Saturday night!

- As announced yesterday (http://www.rohwrestling.com/news/colts-hometown-challenge/), Colt Cabana battles Christopher Daniels in a rematch at “Supercard of Honor VI” this Saturday night in Chicago Ridge! At “ROH Revolution: USA” Daniels defeated Cabana with help from Truth Martini prompting Cabana to ask Daniels for a rematch and to do it the right way this time. Since his return to ROH last year, Daniels has not only been one of the top wrestlers but one of the most honorable. Daniels currently holds the ROH World TV Championship, and before he swung the Book of Truth he was a true fighting champion. ROH officials recently came to a decision to hold the TV Title off recent events, as well as any future ones, until ROH gets a new TV deal, but everyone knows that the Christopher Daniels we knew before April 2nd would have disputed the decision and defend the title anyways. Daniels has currently chosen to not dispute the decision of ROH officials but he will wear the belt around his waist regardless to show that he is “the only television star in Ring of Honor.”

- Speaking of Truth Martini and the House of Truth, Michael Elgin was fined for assaulting Referee Paul Turner at “ROH Revolution: USA” during the No DQ match between Roderick Strong and El Generico. Turner was in the middle of the count when Michael Elgin pulled him out of the ring and slammed him into the guard rail. Martini calls the situation unjustified due to the nature of the match. “The match was written and signed on paper as no disqualification,” explained Martini, “All rules and regulations are out of the window in that type of surrounding, making whatever happens to any individual around commonsensical.” Ring of Honor will not tolerate any physical abuse of an official and a heavy fine or suspension will be carried out to those guilty with zero tolerance.

-The final match for “Supercard of Honor VI” was signed earlier today and it will be Kyle O’Reilly and Adam Cole facing The Bravado Brothers in tag team action! These two teams have traded wins over the last several months, with Lance & Harlem picking up the most recent victory at “Only The Strong Survive”, and they had a physical confrontation at “ROH Revolution: Canada” stemming from the Bravados arrogantly suggesting Adam & Kyle go back to training and let them get the high profile matches. Will Cole & O’Reilly shut up the self-proclaimed Southern Gentlemen?

- As seen in the latest ROH videowire (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F1-Nah3CKWI&feature=channel_video_title), ROH World Champion Eddie Edwards took a merciless beating at the hands of Chris Hero at “ROH Revolution: Canada” that left him battered, bruised, and at a loss for words. Edwards proved once again why he is the toughest and most resilient man in ROH by overcoming the odds and getting the victory. As of today, Edwards says that he is healed, healthy and ready for his 3rd Title defense this Saturday against Roderick Strong. It is hard to believe that Edwards will be 100% going into his match with Strong but we didn’t expect him to say anything different. Strong has to be very happy with the shape Hero has left the ROH World Champion in and right now Strong is the favorite going into “Supercard of Honor VI” this Saturday.

- Expect added security this Saturday at the Frontier Fieldhouse in response to Steve Corino’s statement that, no matter what, his sponsor will be in attendance in Chicago Ridge to hopefully be accepted back in the ROH environment. Ring of Honor officials have said that they do not need the added stress of a potential loose cannon spoiling what will be a historic night of action and proclamation. ROH officials have been tipped off to many possibilities as to whom the man in question is and they have narrowed it down to one strong possibility. If ROH officials are correct with their prediction, they say that since this man has been gone from ROH everything has gotten better and his disgusting attitude and crazy behavior will not be welcome back.

- A reminder to all parents with children that are attending this Saturday’s event that the Chicago Street Fight between The All Night Express of Kenny King & Rhett Titus against Jay & Mark Briscoe will be very violent and parental discretion is strongly advised.

- Ring of Honor officials are pleased to announce that Davey Richards, The Kings of Wrestling (Chris Hero and Claudio Castagnoli), and “The Fallen Angel” Christopher Daniels have all officially signed to compete at “Best in the World 2011” on Sunday afternoon June 26th originating from New York City’s Hammerstein Ballroom!
