ROH News: Another NJPW Star To Appear At Death Before Dishonor Taping

Published

on

After it was revealed yesterday that KUSHIDA would be making his return to Ring Of Honor for the Death Before Dishonor television taping in Las Vegas, Nevada on September 29th, today ROH has announced that New Japan Pro Wrestling’s EVIL, a member of Los Ingobernables de Japon, has also now been signed for the event:

The dark and mysterious EVIL makes his return to Ring of Honor at the Death Before Dishonor international television taping in Las Vegas on Sept. 29.

A member of Los Ingobernables de Japon, one of the top factions in the sport, EVIL is coming off a strong showing in New Japan Pro-Wrestling’s G1 Climax. In the tournament, EVIL scored victories over the likes of IWGP U.S. Champion Jay White and “Hangman” Adam Page and pushed eventual winner Hiroshi Tanahashi and Kazuchika Okada to the limit.

EVIL, a former IWGP Heavyweight Tag Team Champion, NEVER Openweight Champion and three-time NEVER Openweight Six-Man Tag Team Champion, last appeared in ROH at the end of June.

The LIJ team of EVIL, SANADA and BUSHI came up just short against then-ROH World Six-Man Tag Team Champions The Kingdom (Matt Taven, TK O’Ryan and Vinny Marseglia) at the Best in the World pay-per-view, but they rebounded with a big win at the international television taping the next night over Bullet Club (The Young Bucks and Adam “Hangman” Page) and SoCal Uncensored (Christopher Daniels, Frankie Kazarian and Scorpio Sky) in a three-way match.

Who will LIJ’s “King of Darkness” seek to lay his wrath upon at the Death Before Dishonor TV taping? Join us in person in Las Vegas to find out!

Did your picks win points?

The AEW Continental Classic is underway, with almost everyone competing. Check in here if you haven’t seen the winners and losers of week 1!

Here are your Gold League standings!

  • Jon Moxley: 1-0, 3 points
  • Swerve Strickland: 1-0, 3 points
  • Jay White: 1-0, 3 points
  • Rush: 0-1, 0 points
  • Mark Briscoe: 0-1, 0 points.
  • Jay Lethal: 0-1, 0 points

 

Here are your Blue League standings!

  • Brody King: 1-0, 3 points
  • Claudio Castagnoli: 1-0, 3 points
  • Daniel Garcia: 0-1, 0 points
  • Eddie Kingston: 0-1, 0 points
  • Bryan Danielson: Yet to Compete
  • Andrade El Idolo: Yet to Compete

 

My Thoughts:

Nothing too crazy, nothing too wild, this tournament only just got started. The only disappointing point is that they could not get Bryan “cleared to compete” Saturday night. Not sure how much of that is shoot given the bad eye, but this was kinda the problem of wanting him in the tournament over tons of other choices. Bryan wants to face Okada for WrestleKingdom 18, how is Bryan supposed to do that at his best if he’s also gonna be in a round robin, doing five top level matches in about as many weeks? And it takes away from Andrade being able to do something. Also a little surprised we didn’t even hear from Andrade on Saturday.

Now as we heard on Saturday, round two’s matches are set. Gold League will see Mark Briscoe VS Rush, White VS Swerve, and of course, Moxley VS Lethal. Nice variety there, a couple 0-1 guys facing off, as well as two 1-0 guys, and then 1-0 VS 0-1. No offense to Lethal, but he feels like an 0-2 going up against Moxley. Hard to call the other ones but that’s the fun of it. Meanwhile, Blue League sees Brody VS Claudio in a showdown to be 2-0, then Bryan and Andrade finally jump in, Bryan against Eddie and Andrade against Garcia. Sadly, feels like Eddie and Garcia are going 0-2, no way Tony Khan is booking Bryan and Andrade to lose their first shots.

In fact, that could be half the reason they did wait on those two, that’s almost too good for just a first round opener. But I still would’ve done it, same as NJPW does stuff like that for round robins, which this is all modeled after anyway.
