- “ROH Revolution” on 5/6 in Dearborn, MI and on 5/7 in Toronto, ON will be an epic weekend of events that can only be witnessed live and up close. By now you know that ROH is committed to bringing you true pro WRESTLING that you can be proud of! Now is the time to make the trip north and stand side by side with us in this revolution that we promise to provide! Order tickets now: http://www.rohstore.com/index.php?dispatch=categories.view&category_id=3.

- Announced earlier today (http://www.rohwrestling.com/news/steve-corino-returns-from-australia/), Steve Corino has returned from Australia and will be the building for both “ROH Revolution” events next Friday & Saturday! He will address the fans on Friday in Dearborn, and will go one-on-one with Mike Bennett in Toronto. Bennett, who will take on Grizzly Redwood in Dearborn, had the following to say, “Welcome back old man! And say hello to another stumble off your wagon when you step into my face in Canada. I’ll take care of your little inspirational muse on Friday to show you what you’ve got waiting for you so keep an eye on that one. This is my year, and I should be standing here as TV champion. You cost me that, I cost you your sobriety, I consider that even. Now I’ll cost you a friend, and squash your redemption all one weekend. Sucks to be you.”

- As announced yesterday (http://www.rohwrestling.com/news/the-tests-continue/) on May 6th at “ROH Revolution: USA” in Dearborn at the Ford Community & Performing Arts Center the ROH World Tag Champions Charlie Haas & Shelton Benjamin will face Adam Cole & Kyle O’Reilly in a non-title bout that will once again put Cole & O’Reilly to the test. Adam Cole & Kyle O’Reilly have impressed ROH officials and fans alike since debuting in Ring of Honor, and have gone toe-to-toe with nearly every tag team in the division. In Atlanta during “Honor Takes Center Stage” weekend the young duo battled Jay & Mark Briscoe on one night, then the Kings of Wrestling the following day, and while stellar in both matches, Adam & Kyle failed to pick up a win on either outing. Cole & O’Reilly are in desperate need of securing a win in the tag ranks and a victory over the champions would skyrocket them up the ladder of the ROH tag title division. Can they shock the world and start their own revolution in the tag title ranks during “ROH Revolution” weekend? Tickets available here: http://www.rohstore.com/index.php?dispatch=products.view&product_id=202!

- The Bravado Brothers sent a message to the ROH offices saying they were excited for Cole and O’Reilly. “Cole and O’Reilly against Haas and Benjamin is great!” stated Harlem Bravado, “If Cole and O’Reilly are facing Haas and Benjamin in Dearborn then we cannot wait to see who ROH officials put us against.” As of now the Bravado Brothers are not booked for “ROH Revolution” weekend.

- ROH Officials recently had talks with a former ROH wrestler and current free agent. More on this soon…

The Global Tag League Tournament resumes for Hero and Castagnoli on 4/27 in Niigata City when they face Jun Akiyama and Akitoshi Saito.

The next day on 4/23 Davey Richards, Toru Yano, Takashi Iizuka & Masato Tanaka defeated Yuji Nagata, Prince Devitt, Hiroyoshi Tenzan, & Wataru Inoue.

- Everyone is looking forward to Eddie Edwards’ next World Title defense on May 7th at “ROH Revolution Canada.” against Chris Hero. Even though Hero has secured a title match, and is currently busy in Japan, it has not stopped him from constantly bothering Shane Hagadorn to get him and Claudio a ROH World Tag Title rematch as soon as possible. Hagadorn has been using his managerial leverage to its fullest lately and it has obviously paid off. We will see if the KoW will be granted another shot at ROH tag team gold anytime soon.
