ROH „All Star Extravaganza VIII“ Pay-Per-View (30.09. – Lowell, Massachusetts): ROH World Championship Match offiziell bestätigt

Boston is ripe with wrestling history, with names like Killer Kowalski, Bruno Samartino, Gorilla Monsoon, and George Steele jumping from the record books of the Boston Garden. Classic battles in Boston in the formative years of ROH featuring The Briscoes, Christopher Daniels, Colt Cabana, Bryan Danielson, CM Punk, and Samoa Joe, helped lay the foundation of the company. For the VERY FIRST TIME, the stars of New Japan will be competing IN BOSTON adding to what already what is anticipated to be a wild night in ROH’s FIRST card in Boston in nearly FIVE YEARS!

ROH WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP
ROH WORLD CHAMPION ADAM COLE vs. IWGP INTERCONTINENTAL CHAMPION “UNBREAKABLE” MICHAEL ELGIN

After disrupting the main event of Global Wars, after weeks of taunts and beat downs, Adam Cole put his money where his mouth was, and defeated Jay Lethal at Death Before Dishonor in the center of the ring, free of Bullet Club interference to become just the third star in Ring of Honor history to capture the World Championship for a second time.

He will face an old rival on one of the hottest streaks in recent memory looking to become the fourth man to accomplish the same feat in his first Pay-Per-View defense!

“Unbreakable” Michael Elgin has been nearly unstoppable on both sides of the Pacific for well over a calendar year. Whether it is his impressive wins in singles competition in both ROH and NJPW, his tag team success with Hiroshi Tanahashi, or his signature victory in one of the all-time great ladder matches when he captured the IWGP Intercontinental Championship from Kenny Omega, “Big Mike” has proved he is among the world’s best.

And he will head to New England looking to do what he did at Ring of Honor’s very first live Pay-Per-View in June 2014: pin Adam Cole and win the ROH World Championship and the deck is seemingly stacked in “Big Mike’s” favor, a rare advantage for the challenger! Long-time ROH fans know the history between these two men: Cole won his first ROH World Championship from Elgin in a tournament final in September 2013 while Elgin defeated Cole for the championship just under a year later at Best in the World 2014. But the great equalizer may be Bullet Club, who has been known to rear their ugly heads in the most inopportune times! And on ROH television, Elgin and Tanahashi defeated Cole and Hangman Page, giving Elgin the first strike heading into the Pay-Per-View!

Both stars now have significantly more international experience under their belts and this ROH World Championship rubber match between the two has all the makings of an instant classic with both Cole and Elgin at the top of their games! It is Cole v. Elgin III at All-Star Extravaganza live on Pay-Per-View from Lowell, MA – don’t miss it!
