January 25th: The ROH mini-offseason is officially over as ROH returns to action in a big way tomorrow (Friday) at the Braintree National Guard Armory on 275 Union Street in Braintree, MA with a zip code of 02184. The building is located just outside Boston right off I-93. There will be tickets at the door and belltime is 8pm. You will see a double main event. Homicide make his first defense of the ROH World Title when he defends vs. Chris Hero. These two tore down the house at "In Your Face" last June and now the stakes are raised in the Boston area. The other half of the double main event will see the continuation and possible conclusion of one of the top tag team rivalries of 2006. It will be Austin Aries & Roderick Strong vs. Jay & Mark Briscoe and it will be 2/3 Falls in Braintree!!! To make things even more interesting The Briscoes have stated that they will win this in two straight falls. That is a tall order since Aries & Strong defeated The Briscoes in all three of their matches last year.
