DGUSA live event Golden Ringside ticket holders will be treated to a "bonus" match if they get to the show early for the Meet & Greet. DGUSA wants this bout to be a real "bonus" and not a typical pre-show throwaway contest. You are paying for the premium brand with DGUSA so you deserve a true "bonus." This leads us to a new type of match, which will be the "bonus" match for both 7/25 in Philadelphia and 9/6 in Chicago. Introducing The Fray.

"The next generation is ready and hungry," DGUSA Vice President Gabe Sapolsky said. "My world has been opened up to many more indies and I am overwhelmed by the amount of talented wrestlers primed to make their reputations. Now these aren't guys that are going to step in and wrestle like a Bryan Danielson, Nigel McGuinness or Austin Aries right away, but they remind me of like where The Briscoes were in 2003 or some guys like Alex Shelley, Jimmy Jacobs, Roderick Strong, Matt Sydal, Delirious, AJ Styles and Jack Evans were when they first received shots in ROH. I think the concept of The Fray will give them an opportunity to show their stuff and make fans take notice."

The rules of The Fray are simple. There will be eight participants. Their entry into the match will be drawn at random. The match will start with two contestants. Every three minutes another competitor will join The Fray. Eliminations can take place at anytime by pinfall, submission or DQ. There are no countouts. The final survivor is your winner.

"We will put eight of the most exciting, hungry and talented wrestlers we can find and cut them loose in The Fray," Sapolsky said. "This will be a reputation and star making opportunity. I believe this match concept will provide plenty of action as well as some interesting match ups and scenarios."

Golden Ringside and VIP Balcony seats are already sold out for Philadelphia. Tickets for Chicago go on sale tomorrow (Wednesday, May 27th) at www.DGUSA.tv and if you buy Golden Ringside you will see The Fray. However, don't despair if you are shut out of Golden Ringside because The Fray will be included on the event DVD as a bonus. Let The Fray begin!!!
