I might as well just add this here, the entire Chicago lineup is now announced.

There is no way you can celebrate five years of Ring Of Honor without bringing the Fifth Year Festival to Chicago. This Saturday, February 24th, will see ROH head into the heart of Chicago at the Windy City Fieldhouse for the debut show in that building. Tickets will be available at the door on the night of the show and belltime is 7:30pm.

It will be an emotional night as Samoa Joe has his final match in ROH as a regular in the United States. It will truly be an end of an era in a city where Joe has had some of his most legendary matches. No one will ever forget the five star "Joe vs. Punk II" battle against CM Punk. Chicago has always been Joe's town. Now this Saturday the fans will get to show their appreciation and say goodbye to Joe while Joe can thank the fans. This is sure to be a moment like "Punk: The Final Chapter" in Chicago when CM Punk said goodbye to ROH.

Joe will not have an easy night in Chicago. He will team with Homicide to battle the NOAH duo of new ROH World Champion Takeshi Morishima and Nigel McGuinness. Joe has brawled with both these men on recent shows. Homicide lost the World Title to Morishima last week. Homicide felt disrespected when Morishima didn't let him present him with the belt and instead stormed out of the ring with the title. This is going to be a flat out fight.

The ramifications of last weekend's shows will be felt in Chicago when Austin Aries and Roderick Strong face off for the first time in a match that has just been added to the show. It will be the new faction the No Remorse Corps of Roderick Strong & Davey Richards vs. Austin Aries and the first member of his new faction. Aries has stated that he will lead the next generation just like he did generation next. Aries is looking to add the best prospects to his faction. Aries will not reveal his tag partner until Saturday night at the show. It could be someone already on the show or someone from another promotion. The war between Aries and the No Remorse Corps including the first Aries vs. Strong battle will be this Saturday in Chicago.

Chicago's own Colt Cabana will try to settle his violent feud against Jimmy Jacobs and Lacey this Saturday. It will be Cabana vs. Jacobs in a Windy City Death Match. There are no rules and after the last few Chicago shows this is sure to be a bloody war. Make sure to watch the 1/19/07 ROH Video Wire at www.ROHvideos.com for FREE to see a complete recap of this feud.

In addition to these three big matches you'll see Jay & Mark Briscoe try to finally achieve their destiny and win the ROH World Tag Team Titles from Christopher Daniels & Matt Sydal, Larry Sweeney pays the big money to Brent Albright to try to take out Claudio Castagnoli, SHIMMER action with the best women's wrestling going today and more. Check out this lineup:

Windy City Fieldhouse
February 24th, 2007- 7:30pm belltime
2367 W. Logan Blvd.
Chicago, IL 60647

Tickets will be available at the door on the night of the show.
