ROH News: Latest Additions To Road To G1 Supercard In Houston

More matches added to Ring Of Honor’s Road To G1 Supercard in Houston!

We’re just days away from Ring Of Honor’s Road To G1 Supercard events, beginning on Thursday in Dallas before moving on to Houston on Friday, followed by San Antonio on Saturday.

Yesterday, we saw a couple of additions to the Houston event as Villain Enterprises will meet Alex Coughlin, Clark Connors and Karl Fredericks in a 6-Man Tag, as well as an 8-Man Tag that will pit LifeBlood up against The Briscoes, Shane Taylor and Silas Young (see the story here).

Since then, we’ve got two more matches announced for the card, the first of which will see The Kingdom’s Matt Taven go one-on-one against Jonathan Gresham. The other is a big Proving Ground Four Corner Survival Match where ROH World Television Champion Jeff Cobb can pick-up a win and prevent having to defend his title in the future. The men who will be seeking victory and that championship opportunity against him will be Bandido, Dalton Castle and Rocky Romero. Here is Ring Of Honor’s announcement:

The road to Madison Square Garden begins deep in the heart of Texas as the stars of Ring of Honor and New Japan Pro-Wrestling do battle on Road to G1 Supercard – Houston on Jan. 25!

Your favorite stars will be in action, jockeying for position as ROH heads toward 17th Anniversary in Las Vegas, the final stop on the Road to G1 Supercard in Baltimore, and finally, The World’s Most Famous Arena!

ROH’s return to Houston for the first time in nine years features Night 2 of Tag Wars, a 12-team tournament for a shot at the ROH World Tag Team Titles at 17th Anniversary on March 15 and a spot in the Crockett Cup, a tag team tournament co-promoted by the NWA and ROH, on April 27.

In addition to the Tag Wars matches, ROH officials have also signed several other outstanding match-ups. Just announced is a Proving Ground Four Corner Survival Match between ROH World Television Champion Jeff Cobb, Dalton Castle, Bandido and Rocky Romero. If anyone other than Cobb wins the match, that competitor will receive a shot at Cobb’s title.

Cobb has been unstoppable since bursting onto the scene in ROH and steamrolling Punishment Martinez in his first match to win the ROH World Television Title last September. The Hawaiian powerhouse has defeated everyone in his path, including “Hangman” Adam Page, Christopher Daniels, Shane Taylor and EVIL.

Cobb will face his toughest test to date when he steps into the ring with three outstanding competitors in Castle, Bandido and Romero in Houston.

Castle is looking to get back on track after failing to regain the ROH World Championship from Jay Lethal at the recent Honor Reigns Supreme event; Bandido has wasted no time in showing why there was so much excitement about his signing with ROH last month; and Romero is one of only two men to hold championships in ROH, NJPW in Japan and CMLL in Mexico (Matt Taven is the other).

Can Cobb overcome the odds and walk out a winner in Houston? Or will one of his opponents come out on top to earn a shot at the ROH World Television Title? Join us LIVE to find out!

All three nights of Road to G1 Supercard in Texas Jan. 24-26 will stream LIVE worldwide for HonorClub. Keep it locked to ROHWrestling.com and the ROH App for more first-round match announcements.
