Misawa & KENTA vs. Morishima & Marufuji Signed
Wednesday, September 05, 2007
There was a time when fans in the United States could only dream of seeing Japanese legends in America. It was a fantasy to even think about seeing a legitimate, big show, authentic Japanese main event without going to the Land Of The Rising Son. Now that dream and that fantasy will become reality on November 2nd in Philadelphia (tickets currently on sale at
www.ROHwrestling.com or
www.Tickets.com and by calling 215-781-2500).
It is official and ROH, NOAH & WLW will present hall of famer and GHC Heavyweight Champion Mitsuharu Misawa and KENTA against ROH World Champion Takeshi Morishima & Naomichi Marufuji on November 2nd in Philadelphia. This match can main event any major show in Japan. Now you will get to witness it in Philly live.
NOAH officials actually suggested this match to ROH officials, who were quick to accept. NOAH officials said this will showcase all four individuals at their best. They are coming to show the entire United States what Pro Wrestling NOAH is all about. This match also sports several interesting pairings.
Misawa is the current GHC Heavyweight Champion. That makes him a big target for both Marufuji and Morishima. Misawa won the belt from Marufuji and this will be Marufuji's chance at retribution. Morishima gave Misawa a concussion in their last singles meeting. It is always hard-hitting between these two. Misawa will have a very difficult night in Philadelphia.
This match will also feature one of NOAH's greatest rivalries in a ROH ring for the first time. It is always something special with KENTA and Marufuji oppose each other. Now we will finally see KENTA and Marufuji exchange strikes, kicks and who knows what else in ROH. KENTA and Morishima will also target each other as they have had some hard-hitting battles in the past, including a slugfest for the ROH World Title in Tokyo.
Misawa's match for Manhattan on 11/3 will be determined after the happenings of the current NOAH tour. You can expect another Budokan Hall level main event for Manhattan. ROH officials are also going load up the shows with big ROH matches making these two of the most important shows of the year. ROH is 5-for-5 in selling out the Manhattan Center. We are sure it will be 6-for-6 after 11/3. Get your tickets now for NYC before it is too late.
Misawa isn't coming to the United States for a vacation. His goal in ROH is to secure his legacy in America. Be there live and witness this legend as his dream weekend in the US comes true.
