January 23rd: Word has already leaked all over the internet and a press conference was held in Japan, but now we are making it official. Ring Of Honor will be headed to Japan in July for two shows. These will be authentic ROH shows. The first night will see ROH work closely with Pro Wrestling NOAH to present an event in Tokyo at Differ Ariake. The second night will see ROH work closely with Dragon Gate to hold an event in Osaka. There will be much more news including several huge announcements about these events in the upcoming months. These will be two of the most important shows in ROH history.
January 23rd: ROH will stand for Reign Of Homicide this weekend. ROH World Champion Homicide will begin his title reign this Friday in the Boston area when he defends against Chris Hero. Something to keep an eye on is the interaction with Homicide's second Julius Smokes and Hero's super agent Larry Sweeney. Hero's new agent has already taken a huge gamble. Sweeney has refused to sign Hero for any shows after this weekend. Sweeney believes that Hero will win the World Title in Boston and then he will be able to name Hero's price for the Fifth Year Festival. The tradition will continue of the new ROH World Champion opening the show as this Friday's event will start with Homicide addressing the crowd.
January 23rd: If Homicide makes it past Hero on Friday, he will be faced with Samoa Joe on Saturday in Edison, NJ. This is a true "Battle Of The Icons" as two ROH Legends collide and the World Title could be on the line!!! Joe and Homicide had one of the most legendary feuds in ROH history, but when they meet on Saturday things will be much different. The two have formed a friendship based on respect in 2006. Not only that, but in the past it was always Joe defending the ROH World Title against Homicide. Now the tables could be turned. When ROH starts a hall of fame years from now, both Joe and Homicide will get in on the first ballot. This bout could determine who gets the first plaque.

January 23rd: This weekend marks the return of two athletes looking to make a big impact in ROH in 2007. After nearly a one year absence, Rocky Romero is back in ROH to stay. Romero will team with his old partner Ricky Reyes to battle The Briscoes to try to settle the issue from 2004 that was never resolved. That match will happen this Saturday in Edison. Romero will face Davey Richards in Braintree, MA on Friday in a battle of two hard kickers. Jack Evans is back from another extended stay in Dragon Gate. Evans looks better than ever and will be tested by top prospect Eddie Edwards on Friday and then team with his former Gen Next partners Austin Aries & Roderick Strong for a show stealing six man on Saturday vs. Delirious, Davey Richards & Shingo. This match could easily steal the entire weekend. Tickets will be available at the door on both nights and you can still get them in advance at ROHwrestling.com.
