And the first New Japan star to be officially announced is...  Wrestling fans around the world were shocked by the announcement that Ring of Honor and New Japan Pro Wrestling will be running two joint shows in May of this year. The first will be “Global Wars” and will take place Saturday May 10th at the Ted Reeve Arena in Toronto, Canada. The second will be “War of the Worlds” on Saturday May 17th at the Hammerstein Ballroom in New York City. New Japan’s top wrestlers will be making the trip overseas for these massive events. Over the next few weeks rohwrestling.com will be announcing the names of the New Japan stars that will be competing at these events, with the first one being The Current IWGP Heavyweight Champion, “Rainmaker” Kazuchika Okada! Okada is a two time IWGP Heavyweight Champion for New Japan, and will bring the title with him to Ring of Honor for his debut with the company. Okada has already made a name for himself inside North America, but has yet to compete inside an ROH ring. His accolades in New Japan speak for themselves. Aside from being a two time champion, Okada is also a former winner of the G1 Climax Tournament, and the New Japan Cup. The most impressive of his New Japan successes is his current reign as champion where he has already surpassed 330 days with the title. Okada’s brash personality as “Rainmaker” is sure to clash with the talent on the ROH roster, as it does with the talent on the New Japan roster. His arsenal of moves that includes a devastating lariat and a submission named “Red Ink” makes him a tough opponent for anyone on the ROH roster. Stay tuned to rohwrestling.com for announcements on who the New Japan talent will be competing against. You only have two opportunities to see the IWGP Heavyweight Champion live and in person in North America. Tickets have sold quickly, but seats are still available for “Global Wars” and “War of the Worlds” on May 10th and 17th in Toronto and New York City. Don’t miss these epic once in a lifetime events. |

And the second name announced is...  Hiroshi TanahashiThe six time IWGP Heavyweight Champion is finally coming to Ring of Honor. For years Tanahashi has been hyped as one of the absolute best wrestlers on the planet. This May, Tanahashi will be able to put that claim to the test as he faces the ROH roster; the top wrestlers in North America with legit claim to being the best on the planet. Tanahashi is the current reigning and defending IWGP Intercontinental Champion, and has also held the IWGP Tag Team Championships on two occasions. His six reigns as IWGP Heavyweight Champion ties him for the most all time in the illustrious history of the organization. Regardless of who Tanahashi steps into the ring with, he’s sure to bring elite match quality to these shows. ROHwrestling.com polled fans on who their ROH/New Japan dream matches would be, and Tanahashi’s name came up more than any other wrestler. Fans seem to want to see him face off against everyone on the ROH roster as multiple names came up on who he should compete against. You only have two opportunities to see the IWGP Heavyweight Champion live and in person in North America. Tickets have sold quickly, but seats are still available for “Global Wars” and “War of the Worlds” on May 10th and 17th in Toronto and New York City. Don’t miss these epic once in a lifetime events. |

And #3...  Shinsuke NakamuraThe “King of Strong Style” is coming to ROH. The “strong style” of Japanese wrestling is a style that includes hard martial arts strikes and submission style holds. The mixed martial artist Nakamura, has used this style to become one of the most successful stars in New Japan history. He is a former three-time IWGP Heavyweight Champion, two-time Intercontinental Champion, and a former IWGP Tag Team Champion. He is also a former winner of the G1 Climax Tournament. The former “Super Rookie” has come a long way in New Japan since his 2002 debut. Aside from winning championships and tournaments in New Japan, Nakamura has seen success wrestling all over the world in an attempt to improve his skills. He has challenged some of the toughest wrestlers in the world including a bout with Brock Lesnar for the IWGP Heavyweight Championship in 2006. With other “Strong style” wrestlers within the ROH ranks, “The King” of New Japan’s “strong style” will be able to put his ability to the test against some of the best athletes in North America, and in the world. He’s defeated some of the best ever in Japan, and in the world, but his Ring of Honor challenge is sure to be the toughest of his career. And may I just say... YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |
