• As a result of the ruptured eardrum he suffered during his match with Homicide at the August 16th Ring of Honor show in Fairfield, CT, former ECW Champion Steve Corino has lost the hearing in his left ear. Corino's doctor has said that if he underwent surgery, some of his hearing could return but it would keep him out of the ring for at least three months. Corino's going to get a second opinion from a doctor in Tokyo, Japan when he's over there working for the Zero-One promotion.
  
  
• Low Ki has issued an apology for what happened during his match with Dan Maff:
  
  An unfortunate series of incidents happened at last Saturday Night's ROH show in Fairfield, Connecticut, a series of incidents for which I owe an apology. I was scheduled to work the last match of the night with my best friend Dan Maff.
  
  We both like to work a strong style, especially for the demanding ROH audience. For many reasons, on Saturday Night, everyone in ROH was determined to put on a solid show. One of those reasons was because the crowd was less than expected, and we all wanted to make a great impression in this new market for ROH, so the next time we came back everyone in attendance would bring a friend to see this awesome promotion put on a great show. In the early stages of this, the last match of the night, I hit Dan Maff with an errant kick which knocked him for a loop. There was no way to continue the match. He was out. It was my fault. I have no excuse for what happened next.
  
  Outside the ring, I hit ROH cameraman Doug Gentry. I was so upset about what had just happened and was not in full control of my actions. I was out of line, and without sounding corny, I broke the code. The code of ROH, the code of this industry, and the code of this very professional and proud locker room.
  
  I offer no excuses for my actions, as they were inexcusable. I only offer an apology, and wish there was a way for me to express just how sorry I am for my unprofessional display. I hope in future I will have the opportunity to be a better representative of the company and of this business.
