Press Release from New Japan's Website:

If my source is correct, people will be VERY excited about a particular talent finally making his ROH debut.

You're being too vague. More info or a hint please.

I'm being purposely vague. It's a talent that has never appeared at an ROH event.

In addition, this talent will be having a dream match with one of the tippy-top stars in the company. This same tippy-top ROH star will have another dream match with a tippy-top NJPW star.

Hmmm. I know you have to be vague to protect your source, but you've really piqued my interest, brother.

Hmmm, I wonder why in "Signed To Appear:" there are no ROH World Tag Team champions War Machine.

Okay, I'll spill the beans.

Both nights will be headlined by Jay Lethal defending the ROH Title against Captain New Japan and Manabu Nakanishi.

Can watch both show live by NJPWWORLD is good for us.

so no war machine,ach or cedric at least for now..

Osprey?

Also I thin, they should of brought Cheeseburger as they seem to love him

Yeah, weird to say, but I'm surprised Cheeseburger isn't coming.

So pretty much everyone who's under contract (and Elgin).

Shibata vs. Cole ??

I think you're getting a bit ahead of yourself. Night 2 could well be Nakanishi challenging the captain for the ROH World Title.

Ricochet vs Cole would be pretty sick

Yes to this.

Man, no Joey Daddiego or Tim Hughes? How did these shows sell out without those two?!

give us Shibata vs O'Reilly!

I can see the Briscoes defending the NEVER trios title with Toru Yano against the team of Elgin, Tanahashi, and Juice Robinson or KUSHIDA.
