In less than one month’s time, Ring Of Honor will present "Final Battle 2009" in New York City, which will feature the long-awaited match between ROH World Champion, Austin Aries & Tyler Black for Aries’ title. "Aries’ time is running out because he’s got a hometown challenger in Colt Cabana in Chicago (December 5th), and if he makes it past that, he’s got Tyler Black in New York. So Aries is not goin g to have an easy holiday season." Cornette also mentioned his idea when he came to ROH. "This is why one of the first things I did when I came to ROH is to institute the ‘Pick-Six’ Contender Series. You’re always gonna know who the top six contenders are. Only the top six guys will title shots, that’s gonna avoid any bum of the month club or a one-sided match for the World Title. And it’s gonna be a constant challenge for these guys to stay in the top six, so I think a lot of fans will enjoy watching these guys climb the ladder."

Ring Of Honor having Jim Cornette was a coup for the company, especially with all if his experience in the business & the youth in that company who is learning from him. Todd Vincent asked Jim about what he thinks is in the future for ROH & which stars he sees growing in 2010. "As far as the talent goes, there’s so many young guys now. Tyler Black, The Briscoes, Chris Hero has really grown-up & prospered. I think the ROH show on HDNet will have bigger exposure. It needs to focus on the personalities of the wrestlers, because as they have gone far in presenting the matches, there’s not enough talking on the program. Instead of coming up with gimmicks for these guys, I just wanna know about the personalities of these great athletes. More importantly, I wanna get the style over. It’s the most-athletic, the most-competitive based pro wrestling in the world today. and it’s a perfect compliment for someone into MMA or UFC, because to me, they are doing our business better than we are. Dan a White is kicking Vince McMahon’s ass. So why somebody has not gone after that fan base that doesn’t want all the hokey cartoon aspects & wants amazing athletes in the ring pounding the piss out of each other in a great contest."
