Tournament winner to challenge for ROH Title at PPV taping

Ring of Honor has announced an eight-man tournament to determine who will challenge for the ROH Title at the pay-per-view taping on March 16 in Philadelphia. The first-round matches, which will be held March 14-15 in Dover, N.J., are as follows: Delirious vs. Necro Butcher, Brent Albright vs. Go Shiozaki, Davey Richards vs. Claudio Catagnoli, and Erick Stevens vs. Tyler Black. The winners of those matches will compete in a four corner survival match and the winner will challenge for the ROH Title later in the show. For more information, visit ROHwrestling.com.

Powell’s POV: If I learned anything from the Race to the Top Tournament from July, it’s to expect the unexpected from ROH. The eight men in this tournament aren’t regular main eventers and it will be interesting to see which wrestler booker Gabe Sapolsky chooses to move into a major spot on the pay-per-view.
