Samoa Joe Returns To ROH

   Former Ring of Honor World Champion Samoa Joe will make his long awaited return to Ring of Honor on Saturday, November 22nd as a part of the ROH “Rising Above” PPV taping in Chicago Ridge, IL.  Joe, who last wrestled for Ring of Honor on March 4th, 2007 in Liverpool, England will be in a non PPV main event match in Chicago.

Samoa Joe took the ROH belt and turned it into one of the most respected World Titles anywhere in professional wrestling during his 21 month title reign.  He successfully defended the title in the United States, Germany, and the United Kingdom.  Joe’s title reign brought prestige and honor to the championship which is maintained to this day.

Besides the return of Samoa Joe, the following grudge matches have already been announced for this historic event.

HUGE NEWS - ROH BOOKER GABE SAPOLSKY LEAVES COMPANY

Gabe Sapolsky has left Ring Of Honor.  This was posted on the main page of ROHWrestling.com:

Ring of Honor is announcing that Gabe Sapolsky will be leaving the company effective immediately. Everybody at ROH would like to thank him for his contributions and wish him well in all future endeavors.

Going forward Ring of Honor will be focusing on the stories and the talent in the ring. The company will have no further comments on this issue or a replacement for Mr. Sapolsky. We would like to thank all of the fans and media who have supported us over the years and look forward to bringing you more great wrestling excitement in the future.

In my opinion, this is the end of ROH.  Nobody, NOBODY can replace Gabe.  Gabe is ROH.   I don’t know if this was a cost cutting move, but it was a horrible one.  I am sure Meltzer or Mike Johnson will have more news on this situation later today.  I am just shocked, I don’t know what to say.
