ROH Video Wire for 5/9/07

News, Reviews, Shows, Webshows

Ring of Honor has posted the latest episode of its Video Wire on ROHVideos.com and YouTube.com, featuring footage from Morishima defending his title against both Austin Aries and Shingo along with hype for the return of Bryan Danielson.

Past ROH videos on YouTube.com are available by clicking here and of course the latest reviews, news and commentary on all things ROH from Big Andy Mac, me and the rest of the Pulse Wrestling staff is here.

This Video Wire features great footage from two big Morishima title defenses, but the defenses are both against wrestlers who are not currently in the company, Austin Aries who left due to being under TNA contract, and Shingo, who was only on loan from Dragon Gate. That neither will be featured in the New PPV era makes their inclusion here less than thrilling.

Also of interest is the highlights of Jimmy Rave’s return. The return makes him look great and he’s a major heel for the company. His push had stalled out due to a broken jaw, but one would expect, with his return, for Rave to try and regain the mastery he displayed immediately prior to his departure. He’s one of the most easily hated heels in the world along with guys like Christian, Chris Hero, and Edge.

The Video Wire concluded with hype for the return of Bryan Danielson. Longtime readers know he’s my favorite wrestler and one of the best in the world. His return alone makes this coming weekend’s shows worthwhile.
