-Jigsaw will be still wrestle on the DVD taping tonight.
-ROH returns to Dayton, Ohio on June 27. Attendance was said to have been 700-750 fans for the Jan. 25 event.
-Results from ROH's Jan. 25 event in Dayton, Ohio: Ernie Osiris & Rhett Titus beat Sigmon & Ryan Dookie, Dingo beat Alex Payne, Jay & Mark Briscoe beat Jigsaw & Matt Cross, Claudio Castagnoli beat Adam Pearce, FIP Hvt. Champion Erick Stevens beat Davey Richards and Austin Aries, B.J. Whitmer & Brent Albright beat Delirious & El Generico in a No DQ Match, Daizee Haze beat Lacey, Roderick Strong & Rocky Romero beat Jimmy Jacobs & Joey Matthews, Bryan Danielson beat Tyler Black, ROH World Champion Nigel McGuinness beat Chris Hero in a Steel Cage match.
RADICAN'S NOTES: The Dayton show is generating some positive buzz after ROH promoted the show as not being "house show" quality. Joey Mattews debuted as a member of the Age of the Fall and cut what was said to have been a solid promo about his demons and his time in the WWE as Joey Mercury. The one match getting the most buzz is the Bryan Danielson vs. Tyler Black match, which was said to have been excellent.
The overall sentiment on the show seems to be that the show was solid and has one must-see match in Danielson-Black.
