Burns me that Tarver is released. BURNS.

I'll never forget one of his promos..."I just want to say I'm doing this for my kids" I expect 2 or 3 kids, and he named off like, 7. I was like TARVER?!!? and I loved him ever since.

RING OF HONOR PRESENTS - BEST IN THE WORLD 2011 - JUNE 26th - NYC - iPPV

ROH WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT TITLE MATCH; Eddie Edwards (c) vs Davey Richards

The American Wolves collide as Davey Richards challenges his long-time tag team partner Eddie Edwards for the ROH World Heavyweight Title. This wasn't a match that Davey sought, but Eddie felt the need to prove that he could defend his belt against Richards, a man that many thought would be the next world champ after Roderick Strong. Eddie has been through a number of gruelling title defences against the likes of Chris Hero and Roderick Strong, can he withstand this fresh test or will Davey Richards become the 15th ROH World Champion? And what will either outcome mean for the future of the American Wolves?

ROH WORLD TAG TEAM TITLE - 4-WAY ELIMINATION MATCH; Wrestling's Greatest Tag Team (c) vs The Kings of Wrestling vs The Briscoe Brothers vs The All-Night Express

It doesn't get much bigger than this and Shelton Benjamin & Charlie Haas will surely have their work cut out for them as they attempt to defend their ROH Tag Team Titles against not one, but three of the top teams in ROH today. The Kings of Wrestling will be looking to recapture the belts they held for over a year, but the inclusion of the volatile Briscoe Brothers and up-and-comers Kenny King & Rhett Titus of the All-Night Express complicates matters. And speaking of The Bricoes & ANX, can their hatred be put on standby while they challenge for the belts? Or will this blood feud reignite in New York City?

ROH TV TITLE MATCH; Christopher Daniels (c) vs El Generico

With the sale of ROH to the Sinclair Broadcasting Group and the imminent return of ROH on TV in a month or two the ROH TV Title has been brought out of hiatus, but since ROH on HDnet ended the ROH TV Champion Christopher Daniels has become a changed man, turning on his friends and fans by joining up with the insidious Truth Martini's House of Truth faction. But he'll have a tough time keeping hold of his belt as he has to face 'The Generic Luchadore' El Generico, one of the most celebrated wrestlers on the independent circuit today. Can 'The Fallen Angel' Christopher Daniels retain his title in NYC, or will it be a celebration for the former ROH Tag champ El Generico?

GRUDGE MATCH; Homicide vs Rhino

Homicide has had a fair amount of problems with Prince Nana's Embassy these past few months, losing to The Embassy's Crown Jewel Tomasso Ciampa on not one, but two occasions (albeit due to foul play on the part of The Embassy). However, when Homicide snapped in Atlanta over WrestleMania weekend and attempted to attack Prince Nana and Princess Mia, the crown prince of Ghana West Africa went in search of a bodyguard to put 'The Notorious 187' Homicide out of action for good. That man is 'The War Machine' Rhino, a former ECW World Champion and WWE & TNA alumni who will make his debut in Ring of Honor as The Embassy's hired bodyguard.

SPECIAL CHALLENGE #1: Jay Lethal vs 'The Prodigy' Mike Bennett

After many years Jay Lethal makes his long awaited return to the company where he first gained fame, first as Hydro, a member of disliked faction Special K, and later as Jay Lethal, Samoa Joe's student and tag team partner and a 1 time ROH Pure Wrestling Champion. His first match back is against Mike Bennett, a man whose very presence in ROH is a divisive one. Bennett has all the tools of the trade, but he's not out to prove himself to the ROH fans, he's not out to impress them, or the guys in the back. Bennett wan't victory, and with his trainer 'Brutal' Bob Evans he'll be looking to upset Jay Lethal return home.

SPECIAL CHALLENGE #2; Steve Corino w/ Jimmy Jacobs vs Michael Elgin w/ Truth Martini

Steve Corino is a man with a chequered past. A former ECW world champion, Corino has held belts the world over and made a name for himself as one of the premier western talents wrestling in Japan. However, his career in ROH isn't quite as glorious. He was embroiled in a savage and brutal feud with Homicide that ended in a disgusting no-rope barbed wire match, and more recently he convinced Kevin Steen to go on a path of rampage through ROH, alienating him from the fans and the wrestlers in the back. But now Corino is out for redemption, and with his sponsor Jimmy Jacobs at his side he's looking to return the path of honor and redeem himself in the eyes of the fans and wrestlers.

Man that sounds like a good one. I really can't wait for their syndicated show this fall. I'll finally get to watch ROH a lot easier.

Zack Ryder interview before tonight's episode of Raw in Long Island:


WWE wrestler Zack Ryder spoke with Alfonso Castillo of Newsday.com's Steel Cage blog. The full interview is available exclusively at the Newsday website.


Ryder on wrestling in his hometown tonight on Raw: Wrestling in front of my hometown crowd on Long Island is unbelievable. I’ve been too so many shows there. As a kid, I slept outside the Nassau Coliseum trying to get tickets to Raw once. And going back Monday is going to be incredible. I’ve got my friends, my family, my girlfriend. It’s going to be awesome. And hopefully the Zack Pack is going to be cheering me on…

"I mean, it’s set up. I don’t really believe in fate or anything of that stuff, but I’ve been doing this show for like three months and my popularity is as high as it’s ever been. And now we’re at the Nassau Coliseum. Something’s got to happen. If it doesn't, it’s just a missed opportunity. So I’m hoping this is my big chance, my big break."

On the genesis of his "Z! True Long Island Story: "What happened was that about three months ago I was sick of just not being on TV, sick of just sitting in the background on the sidelines. So I created my opportunity. I created my own Youtube account. My parents got me a Flipcam for Christmas. And I started to make my own shows. And 16 episodes later, more than a million views, it’s starting to pick up… All my days off is basically doing that show. It’s thinking of things and messing around with my friends.

"They’ll help me film stuff, like the Superstars General Manager—just things to create controversy in a funny, light hearted way… I think I had no creative output before, so they really didn't know who I was. I had a couple matches here and there, but I never really had a chance to show who I really was, my personality and show how charismatic I was. Now this show has taken off. Guys like John Cena, The Miz, 'Stone Cold' Steve Austin, Chris Jericho are all praising me on Twitter and stuff like that. I wrote the bonus forward to Chris Jericho’s book. It’s just unbelievable. I think everyone is starting to notice."

On whether he’s gotten any heat with WWE over his web show: "At first, I was afraid too. I thought, ‘Am I going to get in trouble?’ But I’m not trying to cause any problems. I just want to get my name out there and create my own opportunity, and make some money for the company and for myself. Now they’re really getting behind it. Like you said, there are signs every single week. My T-Shirts are selling out, and I’m not even on television. It’s unheard of. So, I think they have to get behind it.…

"As far as I know, I haven’t been punished. But before I started the Youtube show, I was at the bottom of the card—the bottom. How much worse of a position could I have dropped to, you know? So it had to go up. That was my mind set. I was just sick of being at the bottom, knowing I could be so much more. It was all or nothing, basically."

On creating the "Long Island Iced Z" character: "It was way before The Jersey Shore. I was with Curt Hawkins as the Edge Heads—a long haired blonde kid. And I needed a change. I needed something different. So I just took my real personality, turned the volume way up, cut the hair, went to all the clubs on Long Island, like GLO, and fist pumped with all my broskies until I finally found who I really was, and portrayed it to the world, throwing up the ‘LI’ hand signal.

"And ‘Woo-woo-woo’ is taking over… I’m definitely not mocking Long Island in any way, shape or form. I love where I’m from. I love Long Island. It’s supposed to be showing the world about Long Island. I’m walking out there throwing up the ‘LI’ hand signal. Everything’s Long Island. It’s showing it off. It’s not mocking it in any way. So I hope no one feels that way. If they do--Oh well. I’ll send them a T-Shirt.’

On his frustrations with trying to move up in WWE: "I guess I am grateful that I have a job in WWE, but that's my plan my whole life. So, it’s kind of expected for me. So I’m not satisfied with my spot on the card. I definitely want to move up. And that’s what I’m going to do. Or at least I’m going to try my best and go out swinging. I’m not going to just sit back and say, ‘Oh, I should have done that,’ or ‘I should have done this.’

"When my time comes to an end, I know I’ll have no regrets… I’ve been under contract for five years. I’ve been on television for four. So that’s a pretty long time. So many people come and go in four years. But I have all the time in the world. I’m only 26. I’m one of the youngest guys on the roster. I’m not going to stop until everyone in this world knows who Zack Ryder is."

On moving ahead of his friend and former partner Curt Hawkins: "I hope there’s no hard feelings. I don’t think there is. We knew our time as a team was over, and we knew we were going to split up. And it’s unfortunate that the WWE doesn’t realize his potential either, because he’s one of the youngest up and coming guys in the company, too. I hope that one day we’ll both get the chance to make it to the top together or separately, and maybe cross paths again in a different way."

On being trained by Mikey Whipreck at Long Island’s New York Wrestling Connection school: "I wanted to be a wrestler my entire life, so right out of high school I found NYWC, which is in Deer Park. And, Mikey Whipreck, from the original ECW, was the trainer. And I just learned all the basics, learned everything I needed to know. Myself, Curt Hawkins, Trent Baretta - we’re all the WWE and we all came out of that school.

"So it’s definitely a good place to learn the ropes, so to speak… (Whipreck) taught us everything from headlocks to paying your taxes. He knew everything. And he was the perfect teacher because he actually experienced it, as opposed to other people who don’t know anything and are training people and are basically stealing people’s money."

Isn't that the incident where New Jack tried to hut Grimes on purpose after he had been injured by him in the past? He threw him too far didn't he?


Gutted about Tarver but at least I was the first person to report this kind of with a WrestleGAF exclusive on Friday night:

It may mean nothing but Tarver has just changed his name on twitter to his real name.

Hope he hasn't been future endeavoured :(

I just became a dirtsheet.

Pretty sure it was Vic Grimes. I used to have another one where New Jack kind of jumps off of a balcony backwards while holding on to Grimes. Grimes then flips off, preparing to take a table bump. But New Jack falls through the table first and Grimes eats a concrete floor. It was the dumbest spot I've ever seen. I don't know how it was supposed to happen or who was supposed to be on the receiving end of the bump but it just looked retarded.

Agreed. Zack really comes across as a self-made man and a very hard work. The fact he could see that his career was going nowhere and decide to do something about it rather than wait for something to happen seperates him from the rest of the pack.

Cannot believe he is only 26... hopefully this means there is still plenty more of Zack to be seen.
