I could see Dijak also helping take out Daddiego & Hendrix and helping Colt

If Colt gives him a shot in return for the help I'd buy that.

Normally, I don't care about them announcing title matches in advance of other title matches, because they have a proven track record of having title change hands regardless of those announcements anyways. Like the case of Fish vs Ishii I still think Fish wins, carries the TV title into the tag match at WOTW, and Moose vs Ishii ends up non-title.

But I'm not so comfortable with Dijak vs Lethal being announced, since that's a match they've been building, and recently been building it as a title match. I thought Cabana had a good chance of winning, but now I'll say Lethal probably retains, and it's a bummer they made that match to spoil some of the anticipation. Especially being a TV taping, you could leave it unannounced, still have the big match on TV later, and still get a sell out because everyone's coming to see NJPW not Lethal/Dijak.

I still hold out a little hope for two reasons. One, if Lethal loses they can then give Dijak the big win over Lethal without having to put the title on him. Two, Cole vs Hardy still sticks in my mind.

Lethal vs Dijak is a non title match, Lethal is feuding with Cabana & Dijak at the moment, the match was going to happen anyway, if only doing it non title helps the title match with Cabana.

ROH just confirmed that Colt Cabana will be at the TV Tapings in Toronto.

Fantasy booking:

Ryan Reeves fired by WWE within next 72 hours, no 90 day compete clause.

He makes his ROH debut at Global Wars, fucking Colt Cabana out of the ROH Title, mocking the Chicago native and his best friend CM Punk right there in the Windy City, including making a reference to the upcoming court case.

"I also wanna thank ROH for getting with the times in 2016 - SOMEBODY knows that the Big Guy deserves to appear on the actual PPV!"

I actually like this idea. Not a big Ryback fan, but this shit would stir the pot.

[Wilson]

That fantasy begins to darken once you consider the ramifications of a program between Cabana and Ryback. (I actually think those guys are both OK—but together, I really don’t know if I could sit with that.)

[Burnside]

Did they really call him "Will Ferrari"?

That NYC card is pretty grim apart from the main event and maybe the Kushida match.

I really like ACH/Naito and that Four-Corner Survival. I think the two tag team matches (MCMG/RPG Vice and the ROH World Tag Team Title Match) but have the potential to be (at least) good. I'm more surprised at the fact that The Young Bucks aren't listed for a match. How do you have these guys under contract, and yet not have matches booked for them on two of these four joint shows?

[The Dragon Saga]

Yeah, the Naito/ACH match will be killer. I quite like the NYC card actually, probably my favorite thus far. However, I think the All Stars vs. All Stars match should have been done at TV and not in NYC.

Also Yoshitatsu in ROH? Christ.

[supersonic]

KUSHIDA VS O'REILLY IN TORONTO~!

[DXvsNWO1994]

[damasta414]

In my opinion...the AAW card on Friday May 6th blows the ROH ppv card Sunday May 8th away! Crazy since ROH has NJPW guys

Glad to see somebody else on the board recognize the brilliance that is AAW.

Been a fan of AAW since 2012 watching Silas/Elgin battles. Been going to random shows since 2013. To me AAW feels like ECW without the hardcore action

Same here been going to AAW shows since EPIC 2013. Never went to a AAW show and felt that I didn't get my money's worth.

[DXvsNWO1994]

HOLY SHIT!!!



I'm SOOOOO jealous of Canada right now. You're getting THIS MATCH!!!!

[DXvsNWO1994]

[monster mafia]

okada and tana make tag team for the first time ever? that is amazing

i like all the cards,sorry guys!

[dhads7161]

Is Toronto or NYC the TV taping?

toronto.

[ICHIFUJI]

Amaze Okada & Tanahashi teaming.
First time since Rainmaking.

[Mr. Mojo Risin]

Okay, so I like this match at face value. However, who doesn't believe for a second Lethal and Briscoe can coexist and this match ends with either one of them fucking the other over, thus costing ROH the match?
