April 12th: ROH World Champion Takeshi Morishima arrives in Philadelphia today. Our sources have learned that Morishima is treating this Saturday's World Title defense in Edison, NJ at the Inman Sports Club against Nigel McGuinness as the biggest match of his career. Morishima knows that McGuinness is a threat to his title. Nigel has done the one thing that Morishima has not been able to do in ROH. McGuinness holds a pinfall victory against Samoa Joe. Morishima was unable to defeat Joe. Nigel gained the pinfall on Joe after hitting the jawbreaker lariat. Word from McGuinness' camp is that he has perfected several different ways to hit the jawbreaker lariat. The move, formerly known as the rebound lariat, has gained Nigel several victories lately and even broke the jaw of Jimmy Rave. This is going to be an epic title match. Tickets will be available at the door and belltime is 8pm. There is a video preview of this match in the new ROH Video Wire at ROHvideos.com.
April 12th: Jack Evans has officially been added to 5/11 in Hartford and 5/12 in Manhattan.
