Ring of Honor Posts Tribute Video and Statement on "Rowdy" Roddy Piper [Video] #MMBROH

As seen above, Ring of Honor has posted a tribute to the late "Rowdy" Roddy Piper. Piper appeared at an ROH event back in January 2014 in Nashville. The tribute features footage of Piper with Kevin Owens, The Briscoes and other ROH talents. ROH also posted this statement on Piper over the weekend:

We at Ring of Honor are extremely shocked and saddened at the sudden passing of the legendary “Rowdy” Roddy Piper.

A true icon in professional wrestling, “Rowdy” Roddy Piper was a silent adviser to many, passing on his invaluable wisdom. An amazing man who will be missed by those who were lucky enough to work with or get to know him.

We extend our sincerest condolences to the family, friends and colleagues of “Rowdy” Roddy Piper.

Backstage News on Destination America Dropping the First Wednesday Showing for ROH #MMBROH

As noted, Destination America has dropped the 8pm EST airing for Ring of Honor TV on Wednesday nights. They still have the 11pm EST airing but the first is no longer scheduled. Dave Meltzer noted on Wrestling Observer Radio that Destination America is trying out new programs in the 8pm time slot but this is not a good sign for ROH. This Wednesday an episode of "Bigfoot In America" is scheduled while "Mountain Monsters" is scheduled for Wednesday, August 5th.

Meltzer noted that unlike the TNA roster, ROH talents were informed of the 8pm EST showing being dropped before the news broke. They were given the excuse that Destination America is trying out new programming in the time slot.

Destination America Dropping Ring Of Honor's First Showing? #MMBROH

It appears Destination America has dropped the Ring of Honor 8pm EST airing, at least for the next two weeks.

This Wednesday night, ROH only has an 11pm EST airing scheduled on Destination America and the same goes for Wednesday, August 5th. Episodes of "Bigfoot In America" will be airing at 8pm EST instead.

There have been no changes to the TNA Impact Wrestling schedule as they still have the 9pm EST and the midnight airings scheduled. We'll keep you updated on any more information that becomes available.

Why Former TNA Champion Turned Down Hall of Fame Induction #MMBTNA

Former TNA World Heavyweight Champion and current IWGP Heavyweight Champion AJ Styles turned down a significant deal to enter the TNA Hall of Fame and wrestle a match at this month's Slammiversary pay-per-view because his priorities are with Ring of Honor and New Japan Pro Wrestling right now.

The Wrestling Observer Newsletter notes that a multi-date deal was discussed several months ago, which would have had Styles wrestle at the Slammiversary and Bound For Glory pay-per-views, plus the Hall of Fame induction.

Samoa Joe Could Be Kept Off ROH TV Due To WWE Contract #MMBWWE #MMBROH

With Samoa Joe signed to WWE NXT, there's already speculation that WWE will nix his ROH TV appearances now that ROH is airing on cable. The same rule could apply for Rhyno and other talents. Joe is currently scheduled to work the June 20th ROH TV tapings, teaming with AJ Styles to face Kazarian and Daniels. ROH is likely also awaiting confirmation on whether or not they will be able to use Joe on TV, if they haven't found out already.

Ring of Honor & New Japan Pro Wrestling “War of the Worlds” Night Two Results #MMBROH

It looked like Jay Diesel was set to face Moose in the dark opener, but Veda Scott came out and said that he won’t be coming out until he gets what he deserves, which is an ROH Title match. So instead, we got The Romantic Touch.

Dark: Jay Diesel (w/Truth Martini) over Romantic Touch. This was bad. Diesel won with a Death Valley Driver.
