Apparently this Boiling Point 2012 show in August that ROH has been pushing will now be an iPPV... and will feature Kevin Steen defending the ROH World Title... against EDDIE KINGSTON!

Also on this show is Charlie Haas vs. Michael Elgin, Jay Lethal vs. Tomasso Ciampa, and The Briscoes vs. Jacobs & Corino. Sara Del Rey, Mike Bennett, Maria, and Eddie Edwards are all on the poster, so I assume that we will likely get some sort of mixed tag team match there.

As seen this weekend on “Ring of Honor Wrestling” TV, the “Queen of Wrestling” Sara Del Rey made her return to ROH after the conclusion of the Eddie Edwards/Adam Cole vs. Mike Bennett/Brutal Bob contest. Cole picked up the victory for his team after nailing a flying top rope cross body on Bob after Eddie & Bennett ended up out on the floor.

Following the bell Maria slapped Cole, then Evans attacked him from behind to put the TV Champion down. Bob restrained Cole while Maria took off her boot and smacked Adam across the head with it. As she wound up to hit him again, “The Queen of Wrestling” Sara Del Rey hit the ring to stop it and attempted to put an ankle lock on the self-proclaimed “First Lady of Wrestling”.

Bennett and Evans pulled Maria out of the ring, saving her from the wrath of Del Rey, but it looks like she won't be safe for very long as ROH officials have signed an Inter-gender Tag Match for August 11th when we debut in Providence, RI! It will be “The Prodigy” Mike Bennett & “The First Lady of Wrestling” Maria Kanellis vs. “Die Hard” Eddie Edwards & “The Queen of Wrestling” Sara Del Rey!!!

“Me and Sara have a lot of history between us.” said Eddie Edwards via e-mail, “From our days together in Sweet & Sour to the battles between The Wolves and Kings, whether we've been on the same side of a fight or opposite, one thing Sara has always had is my respect. There is not a tougher woman in wrestling, hell I'd say there probably aren't any tougher men, and I'd be honored to have her as my partner against Bennett and Maria. I don't think there is any way you two can get prepared for this, see Sara is a wrestler, a world-class athlete, and will stand toe-to-toe with any man or woman you put in front of her. She earned her nickname the hard way and fights every day of her life inside that ring. I'd suggest the two of you spend the next few weeks training as hard as possible because you're going to need it.”

It's “The Prodigy” Mike Bennett & “The First Lady of Wrestling” Maria Kanellis vs. “Die Hard” Eddie Edwards & “The Queen of Wrestling” Sara Del Rey and it all goes down on August 11th in Providence, RI! You can get your tickets right here for “Boiling Point 2012” or if you can' t be there in-person than don't you worry, because you can still order it LIVE on iPPV on ROHWrestling.com!

This is officially the least appealing ROH iPPV card I've ever seen, lol. Eddie Edwards is one of the only real contenders for the World title and they put him in this feud with Bennet, Bob, and Maria? Gross. And Eddie Kingston? #-o just YUK!

To be fair, there aren't that many matches announced, but I agree with you (although seeing SDR kick Maria's head in will be satisfying).

Why the hate for Kingston?

I just don't like him and don't see anything in him as a performer. I don't see what separates him from someone like Axl Rotten....

Awesome mic skills? A good character? Wrestling skills?

I don't see any of that in him.

And Axl Rotten wasn't bad on the mic, his character was MEGA over in his promotions, and before he was strictly hardcore, he had some in ring skills also. Did you ever see RVD's first ECW match? It's against Axl and there's basically no hardcore stuff at all.

Yeah, I've seen the match. It was okay. I guess we'll have to agree to disagree about Kingston

You haven't seen many Eddie Kingston matches, have you?

Nope. The ones I've seen have always discouraged me from further exploring. The match at High Noon v. Quack was very disappointing to me, as was his match against Hero at Glory by Honor 8 (I think; Final Countdown Finally). The rest of the times I've seen him (on HDNet, ROH v. CZW) I've never been interested in the least bit. He tries hard, but I just don't believe in him.

Any good Kingston online?

Check out his match with Hero at Final Battle 2009.

saw that one too; not impressed. Same Kingston I dislike.

Any great CHIKARA or CZW matches?

I used to think the same thing about Kingston, never a big fan, then i saw the high noon match and some PWG matches and have started to give him more credit. I'm still not the biggest fan, but I can at least sit down to a match of his and enjoy it

His match with Vin Gerard during the 12 Large Summit. It was towards the end I think, but I can't remember what show.

I have also heard that he had a pretty awesome match with Jigsaw as part of the 12 Large Summit, and that he and Claudio had some awesome matches.

Oh that's right, ANY match with Claudio when they feuded in CHIKARA in like '09 or '10. Plus his promos were amazing.

Strong vs. Mondo has been added to this iPPV.

Snore.

i honestly don't know why they're making this an iPPV out of nowhere. The only reason i can think off is to test out new iPPV tech and prepare for DBD

this show just looks WEAK!
