Charlie vs. Shelton at Supercard of Honor VII!

[Big Red Machine]

WGTT IMPLODES!
It's Haas versus Benjamin at “SUPERCARD OF HONOR VII”
From the March 6th Newswire:

Nigel McGuinness is looking to sign "The Outlaw" Charlie Haas vs. his former partner Shelton Benjamin! It was inevitable that ROH officials would want this after what happened last week on ROH TV but Haas says that Shelton will never show his face in ROH again. "Shelton ain't coming back, he is gone from ROH and he is a piece of s****" explained Haas. "No need to sign the f****** match. F***, if you want to see a good match sign me up for a cheeseburger eating contest."

Well since that newswire last Wednesday, Match Maker Nigel McGuinness put the wheels in motion and it is now official that on Friday April 5th, as part of the “Supercard of Honor VII” iPPV event, it will be “The Outlaw” Charlie Haas taking on his former WGTT partner, Shelton Benjamin! ROHWrestling.com was unable to acquire any comment from Shelton but one has to assume he is on board with this bout if McGuinness signed it. As for Charlie, well he is never at a loss for words...

“That piece of s**** won't be there.” offered the former Tag Champ, “He's a coward, a failure, and damn noose around my neck. Wrestling's Greatest Tag Team my ass! Should have called the team Charlie Haas and Wrestling's Greatest Leech! I could have had the same damn success with Cheeseburger as my partner, with Bobby Cruise as my partner, with pretty much any damn person on the Earth as my partner. Shelty doesn't have the guts to show up in New York, his tail is firmly tucked between his legs right next to **********************!”

The last bit of Charlie's words were edited for general consumption due to the graphic and rather inflammatory comments he had regarding his former tag team partner. Regardless of what Charlie may say or think, the match WILL go down on 4/5 live on iPPV: Charlie Haas vs. Shelton Benjamin, WGTT IMPLODES!

Tickets are sold-out but you can still catch all the action LIVE on iPPV right here on ROHWrestling.com or Join us LIVE the next afternoon Saturday, April 6th at 2pm for ROH’s FIRST National TV Taping in New York City (Click HERE for tickets), to see all the fallout from SUPERCARD OF HONOR VII!!!

Just Announced is Machine Gun Karl Anderson vs Roderick Strong

Roderick Strong gets his competition...

As reported in the 3/13 Newswire last week, Roderick Strong told Nigel McGuinness he wanted the best competition for the sold-out “Supercard of Honor VII” iPPV event on April 5th in NYC. Well the word has gotten back to ROHWrestling.com that McGuinness has found his man and it is none other than Karl “Machine Gun” Anderson!

Anderson may only have two previous ROH appearances under his belt (“Survival of the Fittest 2007” & “Chaos At The Cow Palace”) but this 11-year veteran of the ring wars is a highly decorated, world traveling competitor of the highest caliber. A former GHC Heavyweight Tag Team Champion, former IWGP Tag Team Champion, and winner of the 2009 G1 Climax Tag League alongside Giant Bernard, Anderson also claimed victory in the 2012 World Tag League with Hirooki Goto as his partner. Anderson also recently challenged Hiroshi Tanashi for the IWGP Heavyweight Championship in February but was unsuccessful in his first ever attempt to claim that title.

Now Anderson heads to The Big Apple for his first ROH appearance in almost six years and will go head-to-head with one of Ring of Honor's hardest hitters in Roderick Strong!

“It's been awhile but this isn't the first time me and Karl have locked up.” said Roderick to ROHWrestling.com, “He's gone on to have a little bit of success here and there and I've become Mister ROH, Mister Triple Crown, the hardest working man in this locker room bro. I'm glad Nigel went and found me some real competition for New York thoug cause I could certainly use the workout after having to dumb it down lately for that meathead Elgin. This is the match that should be for a shot at the World Title man, not anything involving that clown. Keep an eye on me in New York Nigel cause after the beating I'm going to lay on Anderson, you won't have a choice but to get me into that title picture.”

A World Title Shot Is Up For Grabs...

It was announced this weekend on “Ring of Honor Wrestling” TV, in addition to the title opportunities being granted to Mark & Jay Briscoe, Adam Cole, and BJ Whitmer, when Ring of Honor returns to NYC for “Supercard of Honor VII” on April 5th, two recent World Title challengers will go head-to-head!

This match won't just be for bragging rights though, when Jay Lethal and “Unbreakable” Michael Elgin lock up, it will be with a future World Title Match at stake!

“Both Jay and I have had our opportunities to dethrone Kevin Steen.” said Michael Elgin to ROHWrestling.com, “We both failed to become champion, that is entirely on us. We both gave Steen everything we had and it wasn't enough for either of us to claim the title. I don't know about Jay, but if he is anything like me, he won't blame his loss in Chicago on anything or anyone else but himself. If he is anything like me, that loss will become fuel, motivation, that loss will become the driving force for his existence. Like me, Jay will see the World Title in his sleep. It will consume his dreams, his training, and become the sole purpose for his life. That is how important it is for both of us to become champion, but only one of us can achieve that dream Jay. It will be me, that is a guarantee I am making myself and I am making to you. I will be the number one contender after New York City and then I will be World Champion!”
