Jushin Liger returned to the ring at the ROH TV taping in Toronto and even did a superplex, so he's cleared for action and will wrestle Mark Briscoe in NYC this Saturday.

For those who have asked, the new championship ROH is planning to unveil is not said to be a Women's championship.

Kaimatachi should be in regularly going forward.

There's been some readers asking why ROH isn't running Hammerstein Ballroom since Terminal 5 is universally disliked by fans in comparison. ROH would love to run Hammerstein but the venue has made it a rule that in order to run there, you not only rent out the facility but also pay and use their production staff and equipment. ROH obviously has their own staff and equipment and doesn't want to do that, nor do they want to pay the increased costs involved. ROH is open to running there again but it's a business decision and until it's feasible for ROH, Hammerstein remains a possibility, but not a likely one, for the future.

The updated lineup for the "War of the Worlds" tour finale in NYC at Terminal 5 (which is sold out) will feature:

*Roderick Strong & Jay Lethal & Jay Briscoe vs. Hiroshi Tanahashi & Kazuchika Okada & Tomohiro Ishii

*IWGP champion Tetsuya Naito vs. ACH

*IWGP Junior Heavyweight champion KUSHIDA vs. Silas Young.

*Matt Sydal vs. Gedo.

*Jushin Liger vs. Mark Briscoe.

*Moose vs. Lio Rush vs. Michael Elgin vs. Dalton Castle.

There has got to be some other venue they can run. It's freakin' New York City. You can't tell me it's the Manhattan Center, Terminal 5, MSG, Barclay's Center or nothing.

Not happening. You said "fuck this company!" And I believe the worst is still to come.
