Last night ROH presented one of its most acclaimed shows in history and tonight ROH plans to top it. The legendary Kenta Kobashi battled Samoa Joe in what many in attendance are calling the greatest match they've ever seen. If you don't believe us just check the reviews on various websites and message boards. Tonight in Philly will be possibly the last time that Samoa Joe and Kenta Kobashi ever step in a ring against each other. It will be Joe & Low Ki vs. Kobashi & Homicide in a dream tag team match.
A new dynamic will be added to this huge main event as there is no way that Ki and Homicide will be outdone by Joe and Kobashi. This promises to be another classic that will be talked about for years just like last night's Joe vs. Kobashi match. Don't miss possibly the only other time that Joe and Kobashi will oppose each other!!!
This will also be your ONLY chance to see Kobashi perform live. Last night in Manhattan the fans saw Kobashi put on an epic performance. Don't miss your chance to see Kobashi live tonight in Philly at the National Guard Armory with a 6pm belltime!!!
There is so much more on tonight's card too. Lacey said she will reveal her new Lacey's Angels. New ROH Tag Team Champions of Tony Mamaluke & Sal Rinauro will defend the belts against The Ring Crew Express of Dunn & Marcos. The new authority figure will debut and this is a man that every ROH fan will respect.
James Gibson will also make his final ROH appearance. It was emotional last night when Gibson defeated Jimmy Yang. The fans gave Gibson the respect he deserves including a "MVP" chant. Gibson said that tonight he is going to give the fans the performance of his life in his last ROH match. Gibson has selected his friend and protege Roderick Strong as his opponent. Strong has also been talked about being ROH's MVP. Last night on the mic Gibson challenged Strong to take the title of MVP from him. Gibson wants to have match that you will remember him by tonight.
There is so much more going on tonight. Jimmy Yang impressed the ROH fans last night with a great performance, can he score his first ROH win tonight against Christopher Daniels? The feud between Colt Cabana and The Rottweilers escalated when Cabana disrespected Homicide with a rap. How will The Rottweilers respond tonight? Matt Sydal and Claudio Castagnoli both earned the respect of the crowd, will more new stars be made tonight? Nigel McGuinness scored a tainted victory over Jay Lethal, can Lethal even the score in Four Corner Survival? Jade Chung finally broke free of The Embassy, what will Prince Nana and company do about it tonight?
Check it out and much more tonight in Philadelphia with a 6pm belltime. Here is a quick look at the card:
