RING OF HONOR ON HDNET TV REPORT

ROH on HDNet Report for October 26, 2009
We begin with a look back at last week’s episode of Ring of Honor on HDNet where
Jerry Lynn took a devastating spike piledriver from Kenny King with the help of
Rhett Titus. Lynn was carried to the back by medical staff and officials.
We are live to tape from The Arena in Philadelphia, PA and your announcers are
Mike Hodgewood and Dave Prazak.
ROH World Champion Austin Aries and Kenny King make their way to the ring. Aries
has a microphone. Aries reminds the crowd of last week’s self-proclaimed epic
match against Bryan Danielson. Despite beating Danielson, Aries claims that this
does not make him the new best wrestler in the world. Instead, it further proves
that he is the greatest man who ever lived. Greatness cannot be taken away, and
greatness can also be found in Kenny King. King says that he put Jerry Lynn out
to pasture like he was Old Yeller. The “unretireable†Lynn is nowhere to be
found. Now everyone wants to be the king, but there’s only one Kenny King. Tyler
Black’s music hits and he makes his way down the entrance ramp with a mic. Black
says the locker room does look at King. They look at him in disgust. Black
decides to take a page out of Aries’ book. Tonight, he’s going to have an
“Everyone Wants To Kick Kenny King’s Ass†lottery to find King an opponent.
Black has a hat, and he has a name. Black pulls out Eddie Kingston’s name. King
is not happy.
Mike Hodgewood points out that Kingston is in the enviable position of fighting
one of the most unpopular people in The Arena, Kenny King. Hodgewood says that
they have another big announcement. Dave Prazak announces that at Glory By Honor
VIII, Jim Cornette debuted as the new executive producer of ROH on HDNet. He
will appear in the coming weeks.
