Coming on from New Japan:
Shibata
Elgin
Yano

Okada is coming too.

starting to seem like another show full of NJPW guys that are likely going to take half of the card with exhibition matches and less storyline matches with the roster

Which would make this the third of four PPVs they done this for this year. That's bad.

Tanahashi is coming in, which is shocking considering his condition and how much worse it's likely to become after the G1.

Which I have no problem with. Why not spend some time building up Elgin and Tanahashi as tag team challengers (you know, and don't have them job to Moose & Okada)?

Naito & EVIL, too. At this point what makes it different from Global Wars?

LOL.

Takahashi and GoD signed too

They just officially announced Shibata.

Shibata vs... Silas?

talk about underlwhelming, RPW debuts Shibata vs Sabre Jr, ROH against Silas...this is why I keep loosing interest in ROH, if you're going to make a big show into a bunch of showcase matches for the japanese guys, at least make them dream matches

That's exactly it. This is the sort of match you do on the TV tapings the day after the PPV. This is not a PPV match.

Toru Yano & Roppongi Vice vs. the Guerrillas of Destiny & Yujiro Takahashi. Third match on the card at house shows all around Japan... coming to you LIVE on ROH PPV. What a f*cking joke.

at least Yano won't remove all the turnbuckles, it would be too time consuming to remove one at a time

LOL I hadn't thought of that. Also, he can't hit people with them.
Then again, this probably means he'll just spend the entire match grabbing Tonga's beard.

it's official, Bald Jay Lethal vs Adam Cole for the title.

Addiction will defend the tag titles against... Naito & EVIL (who have never even teamed in ROH before) and Elgin & Tanahashi, who are 3-1 in ROH as a team, so this would be fine, except that their one loss was a Global Wars in a featured match. If there was any semblance of foresight by Delirious or if there was any real cooperation between ROH and New Japan, you'd think that they would have won that match in order to set up this match here, but no.

Okada vs Castle has been announced for NJPW's Death Before Dishonor XV
