I guess they're doing a slow roll of the names, which is a good idea.

THE RAINMAKER RETURNS TO RING OF HONOR
Wrestling fans around the world have been buzzing since the announcement that New Japan Pro Wrestling talent will be appearing on Four Ring of Honor shows in May of this year. The first two nights in will be “War of The Worlds” and will take place Tuesday May 12th and Wednesday May 13th, 2015 at the legendary 2300 Arena deep in the heart of South Philadelphia Pa. The May 13th show is SOLD OUT but there are still tickets available for the May 12th event. The 3rd and 4th nights will be “Global Wars” on Friday, May 15th and Saturday, May 16th at the historic Ted Reeve Arena in Toronto, Canada. Tickets are still available for both nights in Toronto but they are going fast!

New Japan Pro Wrestling will be represented by their very finest at these massive events. We will be announcing the full roster of talent at www.rohwrestling.com.

The next confirmed NJPW Superstar is:

“RAINMAKER” KAZUCHIKA OKADA

“Rainmaker” Kazuchika Okada is returning to Ring of Honor!! Okada’s rise from a blue chip prospect to the phenom he is today was meteoric. His debut in Ring of Honor at last years Global Wars was met with awe as finally the ROH faithful got the chance to see what Japan had been raving about.
His accolades in New Japan speak for themselves. Aside from being a former IWGP Heavyweight Champion two time champion, Okada is also a former winner of both the G1 Climax Tournament and the New Japan Cup. The most impressive of his New Japan successes may be his second reign as IWGP Heavyweight Champion which lasted an amazing 391 days!

Okada’s brash personality as “Rainmaker” is sure to clash with the stars on the ROH roster just as it does with New Japan wrestlers . His arsenal of moves include a devastating lariat aptly titled “The Rainmaker” and a submission named “Red Ink." That makes him a tough opponent for anyone in ROH Ring of Honor. Stay tuned to rohwrestling.com for announcements on whom the New Japan talent will be competing against.
Very few tickets to these historic events remain for these events so get your tickets now! Don’t miss these epic once in a lifetime shows.

I wouldn't get your hopes up. There's no way New Japan will let Nakamura lose, and there's no way ROH will let Lethal lose.

Why don't they just do a time limit draw neither guy will look bad for losing and it may even make them look better if the match is great (which given how great the 2 are every time they've competed I'm pretty sure it will)

They could do that.

I don't see a DQ finish going over well at all.

Liger's coming back!

And Naito!

You and your fancy Twitter and your graphics and your knowing how to do stuff..



Personally, I'd love to see Naito face Lethal.

Takaaki Watanabe is coming back. How... unexciting.

he pretty much lives in the US anyway, ROH trying to save some bucks. Like when they promoted Ricky Marvin as NOAH

I thought Ricky was working mostly in Mexico?

he does US sometimes too, but even then, bringing in someone from Mexico is far cheaper than bringing in someone from Japan

KUSHIDA!
