European Rounds sounds like another term for "World of Sport" rules to me.

I wouldn't call it a "dream match", but I'm sure it'll be alright....

The Best Wrestling on the Planet returns to Columbus for a night of the hard-hitting, fast-paced, in-your-face action only Ring of Honor can bring! The Experience comes to the capital city for our debut at Express Live! for what will be the most interactive show in ROH history.

Fans will have the opportunity to choose who will face the Kingdom, or whoever the champions will be, for the ROH World Six Man titles in the main event! For the first time in ROH history, fan voting for those live in Columbus will determine who will compete for the titles. Fans will be able to choose among 10 ROH stars and set the three-man team who could become new World Six Man Champs!

In addition, the ROH Executive Board has been working tirelessly to sign first-time bouts and grudge matches for The Experience. Our return to Columbus last year proved Buckeye State fans are hungry for the Best Wrestling on the Planet and we are committed to delivering a pro wrestling experience unlike any other!

The first match signed for The Experience is a first-time dream match nearly eight months in the making.

“THE AMERICAN NIGHTMARE” CODY vs. DALTON CASTLE

Before Final Battle, before Bullet Club, and before WrestleKingdom, “The American Nightmare” Cody was the hottest free agent in pro wrestling. Cody proved in less than 140 characters the old axiom true - a picture is worth 1,000 words. This list, a list speculated to be one of potential opponents and partners, was worth more.

Near the top of the list was Dalton Castle.

A dream match in its own right, Cody and Castle’s bout at The Experience has elevated significance: Cody has recently teamed with ROH World Champion Adam Cole in a bout against Bobby Fish and Jay Lethal that will air on Ring of Honor Television. With Castle scheduled to face the ROH World Champion at Supercard of Honor XI, Cody now stands as a potential barrier that can soften Castle for his Bullet Club mate ROH World Champion Cole ahead of their bout.

For the very first time, two of the best stars of the wrestling world will collide at The Experience in Columbus! There is nothing like seeing the hard-hitting, fast-paced, in-your-face action of Ring of Honor – join us at Express Live! for The Experience and this first-time dream match!

Yeah, but when you use the term "dream match" very loosely, isn't everything a "dream match".

That would (probably) be correct.

Fun fact: Only two other European Rounds matches have happened in ROH.

Escape from New York
Colt Cabana vs. Nigel McGuinness

Death Before Dishonor VII Night 2
Claudio Castagnoli vs. Brent Albright

Sounds an interesting concept overall and the match ups look great, while also seemingly tying in with a lot of other story lines which can go missing in these events. I like the idea of Fish and Rush considering they were the last two in SOTF it's a nice tie in.

The Best Wrestling on the Planet returns to Columbus on Sunday, Feb, 12 for a night of the hard-hitting, fast-paced, in-your-face action only Ring of Honor can bring! The Experience comes to the capital city for our debut at Express Live! for what will be the most interactive show in ROH history.

Fans will have the opportunity to choose who will face The Kingdom, or whoever the champions will be, for the ROH World Six Man titles in the main event! For the first time in ROH history, fan voting for those live in Columbus will determine who will compete for the titles. Fans will be able to choose among 10 ROH stars and set the three-man team who could become new World Six Man Champs!

Fans also will determine the stipulations for two other matches that night via poll voting on ROHWrestling.com and the ROH Facebook page a few weeks before the event.

In addition, the ROH Executive Board has been working tirelessly to sign first-time bouts and grudge matches for The Experience. Our return to Columbus last year proved Buckeye State fans are hungry for the Best Wrestling on the Planet and we are committed to delivering a pro wrestling experience unlike any other!

The first match signed for The Experience is an ROH World Tag Team Title Match pitting champions The Young Bucks (Matt and Nick Jackson) against War Machine (Hanson and Ray Rowe).

The Young Bucks have turned back all challengers in ROH since winning the title at All Star Extravaganza VIII in September from The Addiction (Christopher Daniels and Frankie Kazarian) in the much-talked-about three-way Ladder War that also involved The Motor City Machine Guns (Chris Sabin and Alex Shelley).

Former ROH World Tag Team Champions War Machine have yet to get their shot The Bucks, however. War Machine, who won the ROH World Tag Team Title in December 2015 and successfully defended it for nearly five months, haven’t had an ROH World Tag Team Title shot since competing in a gauntlet match in August.

Hanson and Rowe had a strong showing in the World Tag League tournament in Japan recently, and the two powerhouses believe they are at the top of their game. With War Machine’s distinct size advantage and hard-hitting style, it certainly appears that they present a matchup problem for the Bucks.

The high-flying and controversial Bucks can never be underestimated, though, regardless of their opponents’ size and strength advantages. They staked their claim as the best tag team in ROH history by defeating eight-time former ROH World Tag Team Champions The Briscoes (Jay and Mark) at Final Battle last month.

As the Bucks celebrated their victory in the ring, however, Broken Matt Hardy appeared on the video screen and issued a challenge to “The Bucks of Youth.” The Bucks have responded by saying that they will fight Matt and “Brother Nero” Jeff Hardy anytime, anywhere.

Will the Bucks have the Broken Hardys on their minds when they put their titles on the line against War Machine in Columbus? Will War Machine make good in their vow that “2017 is sure to be total and complete ‘War Machine World Domination?”

Just signed for The Experience is an exciting six-man tag match pitting Jay White and The Motor City Machine Guns (Chris Sabin and Alex Shelley) against The Rebellion (Caprice Coleman, Kenny King and Rhett Titus).

Since transforming from The Cabinet into The Rebellion during the latter part of 2016, King, Titus and Coleman have displayed a newfound aggressiveness. They immediately made a statement by sneak-attacking and laying out the Machine Guns and Donovan Dijak and then defeating the three fan favorites in a six-man tag match at Final Battle.

The militant trio also has targeted White, a rising young star whom The Rebellion feels has been given opportunities in ROH while they were overlooked.

White is undefeated in singles competition since coming to ROH from New Japan Pro-Wrestling in June and has victories over the likes of Christopher Daniels and Dijak. He also took two-time former ROH World Champion Jay Briscoe to a time-limit draw.

His partners in Columbus -- Sabin and Shelley -- are one of the most successful tag teams in the sport over the past decade. The two veterans have recently taken White, Dijak and Lio Rush under their wing, making for an alliance with an impressive combination of talent, youth and experience.

There's some positivity from rovert!

Lots of first time match-ups. Hell, I'm pretty sure every single match is first time ever, unless the Bucks and War Machine have fought elsewhere.

Kind of wish EVERY match had a fan vote option. Maybe they'll add that last minute like the original Lockdown.

War Machine vs Young Bucks happend in New York a year ago, before AJ Styles left. The match was bullshit and overbooked, but it happended. Plus, Rebellion faced Sabin/Shelley/White last year when they were know as The Cabinet, solid stuff. However, this show looks pretty good. ROH is doing a great job with their VOD shows this year. Manhattan Mayhem, Experiencie, Honor Reigns Supreme, Undisputed Legacy and SCOH should be awesome.

Scurll/Rush going 2 out of 3 falls with Rush pinning Scurll in a fall would definitely boost Rush into the title picture in my opinion....

It's a non title Proving Ground match, is that a spot for Scurll to do the job for the first time to really push Rush into the picture?
