By Mike Johnson on 2014-05-06 14:33:49

In honor of Kevin Steen challenging Adam Cole for the ROH title this Saturday on Toronto, ROH announced it is “Steen Week” with a 15% discount on Steen merchandise (30% for ROH Ringside Members), classic matches on Youtube, several new shirts and more.

Speaking of Steen, he and Mark Briscoe recently celebrated the births of new baby girls, so our congratulations to each of their families.

Former ROH manager and wrestler Shane Hagadorn also recently celebrated the birth of his first son. Our best to him as well.

Jim Ross is expected to visit the Toronto event this Saturday.

ROH will be running The Lakeland Center in Lakeland, Florida on 10/25.

There will be some special merchandise for the New Japan combined events as ROH will be selling a special program, posters and t-shirts. There are also doing a reprint Kill Steen Kill t-shirt for this weekend as well, which will be the last printing of the shirts.

New Japan and ROH talents will be signing before the NYC event on 5/17.
