It All Comes Down To NYC
Saturday, December 22, 2007
2007 has been a historic year for ROH. We said goodbye to some old friends and watched some new faces emerge as stars. We witnessed Bryan Danielson and Jay & Mark Briscoe secure their spots as the best ROH has ever seen. We promoted shows from England to Japan . We went nationwide on pay-per-view. We sold out The Manhattan Center for six consecutive shows. Now it all comes down to December 29th & 30th in the heart of New York City with a doubleshot at The Manhattan Center (all tickets are now 25% off at ROHwrestling.com).
You can easily say that the 12/29 PPV taping and 12/30 "Final Battle 2007" events will set legacies for 2007 and reveal where things are going into 2008. There are five individuals that seem to all have an equal shot of walking out of the Manhattan Center as World Champion. The ROH World Tag Team Titles could be defended against the two top challenging teams in one weekend. Claudio Castagnoli might be saying goodbye. An array of special guests are sure to bring something new to ROH. It looks like things will never be the same after Manhattan and the tone for 2008 will be set. Here are some of the questions that will be answered when ROH presents a very special double shot in New York City :
-Why Are Daniel Puder, Tammy Sytch and Bushwacker Luke all coming as special guests?
-Will Bryan Danielson, Austin Aries or Takeshi Morishima become the first ever 2-time ROH World Champion?
-How will ROH World Champion Nigel McGuinness' left biceps hold up?
-Could we see an injury with the hate that both Bryan Danielson and Takeshi Morishima promise to bring?
-Can The Briscoes make it to 10 straight falls and a five match undefeated streak on PPV?
-Who will Naomichi Marufuji wrestle?
-Can Steen & Generico get revenge on The Hangmen Three?
-How insane will the PPV scramble be?
-What will Delirious' mental health be?
-How many tables will be broken in the Tables Are Legal match on 12/30?
-What could possibly happen between The Briscoes and The Age Of The Fall?
-Can Claudio Castagnoli finally get revenge on Sweet & Sour Inc. or will we be saying goodbye to him?
All these questions and many more will be answered in Manhattan . Make sure to read the ROHwrestling.com Newswire all week for the latest details and inside info on this earth shattering doubleshot in NYC!!!
