It is clear to anyone that has been following Ring of Honor lately that we are getting stronger and stronger as the days go by. Spread the word that ROH is the solution to any pro wrestling fans WRESTLING needs! We at ROH revolt against what you see from the mainstream products and on May 6th & 7th you will witness a Revolution! Don’t miss “ROH Revolution: USA” on 5/6 in Dearborn, MI and “ROH Revolution: Canada” on 5/7 in Toronto, ON. The cards are fully loaded and there is even MORE to be announced Order your tickets now: http://www.rohstore.com/index.php?dispatch=categories.view&category_id=3!

- Don’t forget that at “ROH Revolution” there will be a special meet & greet autograph session prior to each event with Shelton Benjamin and Charlie Haas. Come out and meet the ROH World Tag Team Champion in Dearborn and Toronto from 6:30-7:30 PM!

- Claudio Castagnoli vs. Kyle O’Reilly has officially been signed for “Revolution: Canada” on May 7th in Toronto! O’Reilly has impressed many people since entering ROH and continues to get great opportunities; however, he has yet to pick up a big win in either singles or tag team competition. If O’Reilly is able to upset Casagnoli in Toronto it could easily be the jump start he needs to rise up the ranks. The odds are clearly in Castagnoli’s favor and it has been well known that the King’s of Wrestling manager Shane Hagadorn has been doing everything in his power to get Hero and Claudio opportunities at gold since the KOW lost the ROH World Tag Team Titles. Hagadorn was successful at getting Hero a Championship match by using Hero’s pinfall victory over Edwards back in December as leverage in attaining the spot for Hero. Neither Hagadorn nor Castagnoli were pleased with ROH officials choice of an opponent feeling as though the level of competition is beneath him, “Seriously?” questioned Hagadorn, “After setting records, putting the ROH tag team division on the map, decimating damn near every team in the industry, including one with Kyle O’Reilly, and THIS is what you give a King? It’s a slap in the face to everything that Claudio has accomplished in the last year! To say that Claudio was angry when I informed him of this decision would be a…well, a drastic understatement, and it’s Kyle O’Reilly who is going to suffer for the impotent decision making abilities of ROH officialdom!”

- As announced yesterday, (http://www.rohwrestling.com/news/homicide-sets-his-sights-on-revenge/) “The Notorious 187” Homicide will be once again face The Embassy’s Tommaso Ciampa at “ROH Revolution: USA” on May 6th in Dearborn! Between the fact that Ciampa has yet to be pinned in ROH and the victory over Homicide in Atlanta, The Embassy seems to be more together than ever before. A second win over the ROH legend will no doubt increase the Embassy’s reputation and get Prince Nana one step closer to bringing a title into his fold. Homicide is looking to pick himself back up and get payback for the loss he suffered in Atlanta. “ROH Revolution: USA” is stacked!
