Ring of Honor to crown TV Champion in Philadelphia

Ring of Honor wrestling will introduce the ROH World Television Title at the next round of “ROH on HDNet” National TV tapings at The Arena in South Philadelphia on Feb. 5 and 6.


“We’ve been talking about adding a secondary championship for some time,” said ROH President Cary Silkin. “Not only will this give the athletes of Ring of Honor another tremendous goal to work towards, it will also give our great partner, HDNet, a championship that is sure to be defended on the television program. We’re happy to publicly give thanks to HDNet for giving us the chance to add this title to the television show, and to All Star Championship Belts for bringing the actual belt to life.” .

Previously announced for the eight-man single elimination tournament are the following seeds: (8) Rhett Titus, (7) El Generico, (6) Eddie Edwards and (5) Delirious.

ROH officials have now finalized the seeding for the remaining four competitors, with the first and second seeds being given to competitors ranked in the “Pick 6 Contenders Standings”. Holding the Number 2 spot in the “Pick 6”, Kevin Steen has been named the #1 seed in the tournament while Number 4 in the “Pick 6”, Kenny King, has been named the #2 seed. Rounding out the bracket, seeded #3 and #4 respectively in the tournament are Colt Cabana and Davey Richards. 

With five former ROH World Tag Team Champions in the tournament, many of the men have tasted titles in the past, but one man will emerge from this tournament with, not only his first singles title in ROH, but as the historic first Television Champion in Ring of Honor history. Current partners and former friends alike could meet over the course of these two nights in February, but only one wrestler will be called champion. There are many subplots among the eight men in the field, and lots of uncertainty, but the one thing we do know is that one of these 8 men will make history:

1) Kevin Steen
2) Kenny King
3) Colt Cabana
4) Davey Richards
5) Delirious
6) Eddie Edwards
7) El Generico
8) Rhett Titus

Tickets are available right here at www.rohwrestling.com for Friday night, February 5th and Saturday night, February 6^th. Be there as Ring of Honor and HDNet crowns the first World Television Champion in Philadelphia.
