By ROH Wrestling on 2/22/2007 10:15 AM
February 22nd: Where were you five years ago? Tomorrow (Feb. 23rd) will see the Fifth Year Festival come to the Montgomery County Fairgrounds on 1043 S. Main St in Dayton, Ohio with a zip code of 45409. There will be tickets available at the door and the show starts at 8:00pm. This event will be five years to the day of the very first ROH show. International eyes will be on this one as new ROH World Champion Takeshi Morishima defends the ROH World Title vs. BJ Whitmer and Matt Sydal defends Dragon Gate's Open The Brave Gate Championship against Austin Aries. If Morishima wins, he will defend the belt in Tokyo on March 4th. If Whitmer wins, he will defend the belt on ROH shows in England on March 3rd & 4th. This is going to be a very special night for Whitmer since he is from Ohio. He will have a chance to do what Homicide did at "Final Battle 2006" and win the ROH World Title in front of his hometown friends, family and fans. Whitmer promises that he will dish out the hard-hitting action to Morishima in an effort to win the title. Whitmer could be one wrist clutch exploder away from being the next ROH World Champion. Check the main page of ROHwrestling.com for a feature article on this event.
February 22nd: This Saturday will see ROH return to Chicago, but this time ROH will be in the heart of Chicago at the Windy City Feildhouse on 2367 W. Logan Blvd. in Chicago, IL with a zip code of 60647. It is sure to be an emotional night as Samoa Joe makes his final ROH appearance as a regular in the United States. Joe will be part of an epic main event as he teams with Homicide to take on new ROH World Champion Takeshi Morishima & Nigel McGuinness. This one doesn't need any hype. It will be under relaxed rules to let these guys fight it out. Check the article on this event on the main page of ROHwrestling.com to find out why Homicide is angry at Morishima. This is going to be a war!!!
