ROH News: Hiroshi Tanahashi Added To Death Before Dishonor TV Tapings

Ring Of Honor will be heading to ‘Sin City’, Las Vegas, Nevada on September 28th for Death Before Dishonor live on pay-per-view followed up by a set of television tapings the next day on Saturday, September 29th. Previously, it was revealed that New Japan Pro Wrestling stars KUSHIDA, EVIL and SANADA will be appearing for the tapings and today, ROH has announced that G1 Climax 28 winner Hiroshi Tanahashi will now also be competing:

Fresh off his victory in the G1 Climax, Hiroshi Tanahashi makes his return to Ring of Honor at the Death Before Dishonor international television taping in Las Vegas on Sept. 29.

Tanahashi has held the IWGP Heavyweight Title a record seven times and has been one of New Japan Pro-Wrestling’s top stars for nearly 20 years. As his performance in the G1 Climax tournament this summer showed, the veteran remains one of the best competitors in the world.

Tanahashi went 7-1-1 in the G1 Climax, defeating Kota Ibushi in the finals to win the prestigious tournament for the third time. With the victory, Tanahashi put himself in the driver’s seat for a shot at the IWGP Heavyweight Championship at Wrestle Kingdom 13 on Jan. 4 at the Tokyo Dome. It would be the 10th time that Tanahashi has wrestled in the main event on NJPW’s biggest show of the year.

He has competed in ROH a number of times over the past four years, with his most recent appearances occurring during the Honor United UK tour in May. Tanahashi’s last appearance in an ROH ring in the U.S. took place at Supercard of Honor in New Orleans in April, as he and Jay Lethal teamed up in a losing effort against ROH World Tag Team Champions Jay and Mark Briscoe.

Death Before Dishonor Weekend returns to Las Vegas, the Fight Capital of the World, LIVE on pay-per-view and for HonorClub VIP on Friday, Sept. 28 at 9 PM ET/6 PM PT, and returns the next night for an international television taping with all of your favorite ROH stars! Championships will be decided and feuds ended and you can watch it all LIVE IN VEGAS!
