– CM Punk is set to face Colt Cabana this Saturday in Chicago Ridge, IL at the Frontier Fieldhouse, and the Ring of Honor World Champion posted a heartfelt commentary about Colt, ROH and his career on ROHWrestling.com. It’s worth the read. EDIT: That link also now has a commentary that Colt wrote about Punk; another good read.
– With CM Punk, Matt Hardy, Jamie Noble/Gibson and Spanky finishing up their ROH dates in the near future, and Jack Evans, Izzy and Deranged recovering from injuries, Ring of Honor is creating opportunities for workers to move up the card, and claims on its Web site that people will be shifted up and down the card, as well as possibly off of the roster, in the coming weeks. Notable names coming in include Bryan Danielson, Tony Mamaluke and “Scrap Iron” Adam Pearce. Additionally, Mick Foley and Puma have been booked for the upcoming NJ show, and the following matches will have future ROH bookings on the line: Rainman vs. Claudio Castgnoli, Steve Madison vs. Antonio Blanca from the ROH Wrestling School, Sal Rinauro vs. Davey Andrews from the ROH Wrestling School and Jay Fury vs. Jerrelle Clark.
