March 7th: Yesterday we reported that BJ Whitmer challenged anyone from CZW to face him this Saturday when ROH makes its debut at the former ECW Arena in Philly with a special 4pm show as the first half of a double header in that famous building with CZW. It didn’t take long for the challenge to be answered. It will be BJ Whitmer vs. Necro Butcher at the ROH event on Saturday!!! This isn’t going to be a match, it is going to be a fight. If you watched ROH Video Recap at ROHvideos.com you can see exactly how angry Whitmer is that the CZW invaders hit the ring during his match vs. Christopher Daniels at the Fourth Anniversary Show.

March 7th: A big tag team match has been signed for 3/30 in Detroit. ROH World Champion Bryan Danielson has been having problems lately with The Embassy of Jimmy Rave & Alex Shelley with Prince Nana. Danielson has stated that he can beat Rave & Shelley with any tag team partner. Danielson has challenged Rave & Shelley to a tag match. The World Champion is so confident that he can beat them that he will let The Embassy decide his tag partner. Prince Nana has picked a man that has yet to win a fall in ROH. On 3/30 in Detroit it will be Danielson & Delirious vs. Rave & Shelley with Prince Nana!!! There are still great ringside seats available for this huge event that also features Samoa Joe vs. Christopher Daniels in an Anything Goes Match, Homicide vs. Colt Cabana in a Pinfalls Count Anywhere Match and much more including the ROH vs. Dragon Gate series. Will Shelley enter this match as World Champion after going for the belt on 3/11 in Philly?
