RING OF HONOR NEWS AND NOTES COMING OUT OF 19th ANNIVERSARY EVENT

This is the last week to book Ian Riccaboni for Cameos with all money going to The Bradbury-Sullivan LGBT Community Center in Allentown, PA:

Ring of Honor held their 19th Anniversary PPV on Friday night with a lot of noteworthy twists and turns:

The big news was the debut of a new faction led by Brody King featuring Tony Deppen, the debuting Chris Dicksinson and returning former ROH Champion Homicide.  Homicide was sporting a "Rest in peace Doug Gentry" shirt in honor of one of ROH's original founders, who passed away in January 2007.  The group hit the ring and brawled with La Faccion Ingoblernables and then laid out The Foundation's Jay Lethal as well.

Former WWE developmental talent Bill Carr debuted, assisting Vincent during his non-sanctioned match against Matt Taven.  Carr has changed his social media to reflect ROHDutch, so he will be using that name.

With Dragon Lee injured, Kenny King substituted for him against Tracy Williams in defending and losing the ROH TV title.  Dragon Lee's father, Bestia del Ring subbed for him in defense of the ROH Tag Team Titles, which Tracy Williams and Rhett Titus won.  So The Foundation was successful in stripping La Facion of two of their three title belts.

Amy Rose was turned on by Kenny King and Bestia del Ring after the ROH Tag Team title loss, so she is out of that group.

Dak Draper is a name to watch for coming out of the PPV as he and Jonathan Gresham had an excellent match which featured Draper's best-ever ROH performance in my opinion.

ROH will have a Watchalong tonight for the most recent episode of ROH TV on Twitter at 7 PM.  The episode features Beer City Bruiser vs. Mike Bennett and the first-ever ROH Pure Wrestling Gauntlet.

This weekend's Ring of Honor TV will feature The OGK (Matt Taven & Mike Bennett) vs. The Bouncers (Beer City Bruiser & Brawler Milonas) as well as ROH Pure Champion Jonathan Gresham vs. Joe Keys.
