There are plans to debut some new talent as part of the Three-Way feud between Jack Evans, Austin Aries, and Roderick Strong, but I haven't confirmed any names yet.

Injury Updates: Delirious is likely to miss this weekend due to the concussion he suffered last week while wrestling Roderick Strong in Philadelphia. Jimmy Rave is expected to wrestle this weekend. His throat is feeling better although his jaw is bothering him somewhat.

New ROH champion Takeshi Morishima will make the first Japanese defense of the title on 3/4 against KENTA at Budokan Hall.

Ring of Honor will return to the National Guard Armory in Philadelphia this June.

Thanks for the schedule Dave!

I might just have to go to the 2/24 show this weekend to see Joe's farewell. I hope tickets aren't sold out for the event here in Chicago!
