The following news items were posted on the August 17, 2009 edition of the ROH Newswire:

Ring of Honor will be back in Philly on September 10th and 11th to tape 6 more weeks worth of ROH on HDNet episodes.  Wrestlers signed for those dates include: ROH World Champion Austin Aries, ROH World Tag Team Champions the American Wolves, Bryan Danielson, Joey Ryan, Chris Hero, The Necro Butcher, Colt “Boom Boom” Cabana, Nigel McGuinness, and Roderick Strong.  Tickets for those shows are now on sale.

At the Boston show on September 25th, Delirious and Sonjay Dutt will have a rematch of their encounter from this past Saturday.  Delirious asked for this rematch immediately following this weekend’s match, which Sonjay won in no small part due to his use of Daizee Haze, who has been accompanying Delirious to the ring, as a human shield.

The following night, September 26th, at the Hammerstein Ballroom in New York, Chris Hero and Eddie Kingston will go one-on-one.  This match comes in the heels of Kingston’s actions during this past Saturday’s match between Hero and KENTA.  As Hero looked to capitalize on the distracted referee to slip on his mysterious green elbow pad and finish off KENTA, Kingston interfered and removed the elbow pad from Hero.  The momentary interference allowed KENTA to hit the Go 2 Sleep for the 3-count.
