Supercard of Honor IV Coming To Houston
Monday, March 16, 2009
Beginning in 2006, Ring Of Honor has presented the “Supercard of Honor” event as a showcase of its talent, as well as international wrestling talent from across the globe. Whether it be stars from Dragon Gate in crazy 6-man action, Jimmy Jacobs and BJ Whitmer in a bloody cage match, or Nigel and Aries giving it their all for the ROH World Title, the past couple years have presented ROH fans with the best wrestling events of their respective years.
Well now it is official: April 3, 2009 will mark the fourth annual “Supercard of Honor” event as ROH makes in debut in Houston, TX at the George R. Brown Convention Center. And in addition to this announcement, ROH has two huge matches in store for the fans in attendance that night.
In conjunction with Pro Wrestling NOAH and Kensuke Office, Ring of Honor has signed two top shelf matches of international proportions. The first pits the former GHC Jr. Heavyweight Champion, Katsuhiko Nakajima against one of the pillars of ROH, Roderick Strong. Fresh off a tour with Pro Wrestling NOAH, Strong is very familiar with Nakajima’s mentor, Kensuke Sasaki, after their brutal battle at “The Tokyo Summit”, and has gone toe to toe with Nakajima as well in their fantastic tag team scrap at “All Star Extravaganza IV”. This contest will be certainly be a hard hitting affair, and worth the price of admission alone. But that’s not all we have…
KENTA, newly crowned GHC Jr. Champion for the 3rd time, will put his title on the line on April 3 against a man with whom he is very familiar, Davey Richards. The history between these two dates back to 2006 when KENTA took on Richards as a protégé of sorts. They competed as a unit, trained together, and even battling one another at “Fight of the Century” in August of 2006. But after Davey joined the NRC, that relationship abruptly ended. Since then, both men have grown as fighters, have captured titles, and raised their value in the wrestling world. Now they will square off in a GHC Jr. Title bout that will most certainly be a stand-up war of vicious kicks and brutal striking. Also, should KENTA defeat Nigel McGuinness this Saturday in NYC, ROH officials are looking into having this match be contested for both the ROH World Title and the GHC Jr. Title!
In addition to these two bouts, ROH is also bringing some of the best Mexico has to offer in the current NWA World Champion Blue Demon Jr., Alex Koslov, Incognito, and Magno. Tickets are available for April 3, as well as the PPV taping on April 4, right here at www.rohwrestling.com. If you are going to be in Texas that weekend for some wrestling, than you better be at Ring of Honor!
