ROH/NJPW WAR OF THE WORLDS 2019 OFFICIAL THREAD

[AlexROH]

War of the Worlds, which brings together the stars from the two best wrestling organizations in the world, has become one of the highlights on the Ring of Honor and New Japan Pro-Wrestling calendars.

Since its inception in 2014, War of the Worlds has produced unique, star-studded, action-packed matches with ROH competitors facing and teaming with NJPW competitors. This year’s War of The Worlds tour undoubtedly will be the biggest one yet as it will feature the fallout from the sold-out G1 Supercard event from Madison Square Garden.

Damn why do they have to do these in the middle of the week? Would've probably gone to see PCO challenge for the title if it was on a weekend

[famicommander]

Taven vs a Canadian for the title in Canada?

Just my 2 cents... but it's nice to get at least 2 of the top 4 wrestlers imo (Okada, Naito, Tanahashi, Ibushi) and throw in the stone pitbull and i'm happy.

We have to get GOD vs. Briscoes this tour right?!?

Per Eck Files on ROHWrestling.com

A war of words between the Briscoes and The Guerrillas of Destiny has escalated into a showdown at War of the Worlds.

A match between arguably the two best teams in the industry has been signed for May 12 when the War of the Worlds tour -- which features the top stars in ROH and New Japan Pro-Wrestling -- makes a stop in Chicago for an international television taping.

The match is scheduled to be for the ROH World Tag Team Titles, which G.O.D. (Tama Tonga and Tanga Loa) -- who also are the IWGP Heavyweight Tag Team Champions -- won in a four-way match at G1 Supercard in Madison Square Garden on April 6 that included Jay and Mark Briscoe, then-ROH World Tag Team Champions PCO and Brody King, and EVIL and SANADA.

However, if G.O.D. loses the ROH belts before then -- specifically at the War of the Worlds show in Buffalo, N.Y., on May 8 (streaming live for HonorClub) -- their match with the Briscoes will still take place in Chicago because of the bitter grudge between the two teams.

NJPW L.A. Dojo Young Lions Clark Connors, Karl Fredericks and Alex Coughlin have been signed to compete on the four War of the Worlds shows. All three appear to have very bright futures.

tv taping? mmmm

I would have preferred in an honor club show
