RING OF HONOR UNITY LINEUP, BJ WHITMER RETURNS AND MORE ROH NEWS

By Mike Johnson on 2012-04-18 11:18:13
No word yet on which iPPV provider will be working with ROH for their 5/12 event in Toronto.

The 4/28 Chicago return next week will be titled "Unity" with the idea being that each bout will feature some sort of tag team bout.  That certainly sounds like a Jim Cornette idea.  The show, which will be the second part of a double header with CHIKARA at the Frontier Fieldhouse in Chicago Ridge, which feature:

*ROH Tag Team champions The Briscoes vs. Jigsaw & Hallowicked
*Charlie Haas & Shelton Benjamin vs. ROH champion Davey Richards & Kyle O'Reilly
*The All Night Express vs. Roderick Strong & Michael Elgin
*Kevin Steen & Jimmy Jacobs vs. El Generico & BJ Whitmer
*Jay Lethal & Adam Cole & TJ Perkins vs. The Colony - Lucha Rules.
*The Young Bucks vs. The Bravados

On paper, this looks like a hell of a show.  Really happy to see Whitmer back working here as he's gotten into great shape and his return in Cincincatti was really good.  This is the Bravados' first bout back since touring for Pro Wrestling NOAH in Japan and training over at the NOAH dojos.  For ticket information, visit www.rohwrestling.com.

Jimmy Jacobs' nickname is "The Zombie Princess" now that he's turned heel.

ROH champion Davey Richards will be working this year's New Japan Pro Wrestling Top of Super Juniors round robin tournament, which will also feature former ROH champion Low Ki and Tag champion Rocky Romero as well.

The latest edition of ROH TV is now online at www.rohwrestling.com and features a look at what went down with Showdown in the Sun weekend.

The lineup for this Sunday's matinee in Dayton, Ohio at the Hara Arena will feature:
