ROH issued the following:
The Best Wrestling on the Planet returns to Baltimore for a night of the hard-hitting, fast-paced, in-your-face action that only Ring of Honor can provide! Be the first to see the fallout from Ring of Honor’s BIGGEST Supercard of Honor ever as the William J. Myers Pavilion hosts an international television taping on Saturday April 8 with a SPECIAL 2 PM BELL TIME!
All of your favorite ROH stars will be there including ROH World Champion Christopher Daniels, ROH World Television Champion Marty Scurll, the ROH World Six Man Tag Team Champions Bully Ray and The Briscoes, and the NEW ROH World Tag Team Champions The Young Bucks! The ROH Board of Directors watched Supercard of Honor with a keen eye and have signed a match between two of ROH’s top stars predicated on their encounter at Supercard of Honor!
BOBBY FISH vs. “PRO WRESTLING’S LAST REAL MAN” SILAS YOUNG
With outlets like the Sporting News and Sports Illustrated speculating on his future, Bobby Fish made an unannounced appearance at Supercard of Honor XI stating that he has a lot on his mind, primarily his instant classic with Jay Lethal. As Fish continued talking, he was interrupted by “Pro Wrestling’s Last Real Man” Silas Young!
Young made his way to the ring fresh off a tag team victory earlier in the night against the Kingdom. Young had been telling anyone that would listen that he was looking to make a statement in front of the largest crowd in ROH history and he let his actions speak louder than his words! Fish and Young brawled in the ring and throughout ringside as ROH officials made the judgement call to begin an impromptu match. As the two used chairs, guardrails, and anything that was nailed down around ringside to hurt each other, referees just as quickly threw the bout out!
In Baltimore, we will see this match with both men at 100% and looking for a win to put themselves firmly in the ROH World Title picture! 2016 saw Silas Young win the Honor Rumble and come within a millisecond of defeating then-ROH World Champion Adam Cole! Young has continued his winning ways while Bobby Fish similarly was centimeters away from the ROH World Title at Manhattan Mayhem. With both so close to capturing the ROH World Championship, perhaps both are more similar than they realize?
One thing is for sure, these two men, who made their ROH television debut as tag team partners back in 2009 against the Young Bucks, are driven by their desire to win the top prize in ROH, the World Championship, and all of the money and accolades that come with it. Two of the top stars in ROH meet one-on-one in a match created in part by a newly developed grudge but also by an underlying current of respect between two men that are closer than ever to the ROH World Championship.
Who will leave Baltimore victorious? Be the first to know in Baltimore as these two do battle looking for revenge and a signature win to put themselves firmly in the ROH World Title hunt! The best way to enjoy The Best Wrestling on the Planet is to be there live! Get your tickets to this gigantic international television taping now to see the hard-hitting, fast-paced, in-your-face action that only ROH can deliver!
