The company is very excited about the prospects of the live Internet PPV of the 12/19 Final Battle event in New York City.

ROH announced that Kevin Steen has asked to address the crowd at the 12/19 event after he and El Generico face The Young Bucks.  My guess is he’s going to announce he’s taking time off to have surgery on his bad knee, but I don’t know that 100%.  He’s really been pushing himself hard working on the injury and you have to feel heartbreak for the guy.

The next set of ROH on HDNet tapings will be 1/8 and 1/9 in Philadelphia, PA at the ECW Arena.  The network has gotten more intimately involved with the tapings of late, which is hopefully a good sign of a continued partnership.

Steve Corino is booked for 12/18 in Manassas, Virginia and 12/19 in NYC.

Eddie Edwards returned from his elbow surgery on the current Pro Wrestling NOAH tour with the arm heavily bandaged.  Chris Hero is also on the tour.

12/18 in Manassas, VA features Jay & Mark Briscoe, Jack Evans, & Rocky Romero vs. The American Wolves, Teddy Hart, & Alex Koslov, Tyler Black vs. Roderick Strong, ROH champion Austin Aries & Kenny King vs. The Young Bucks, Kevin Steen & El Generico, Steve Corino, The Necro Butcher, Kenny Omega, Colt Cabana, Erick Stevens, and Rhett Titus.

The 12/19 Internet PPV taping in NYC features ROH champ Austin Aries vs. Tyler Black, ROH Tag Team champions The American Wolves vs. The Briscoes, The Young Bucks vs. Kevin Steen & El Generico, Jack Evans & Rocky Romero vs. Teddy Hart & Alex Koslov and the same talent scheduled for Virginia.
