April 1st: The teams have been selected for the Six Man Elimination Match on 4/12 in Edison, NJ. Last time in Edison saw Larry Sweeney cave the face of Claudio Castagnoli in with a top rope elbow drop off the top rope on a steel chair. Sweeney then proceeded to grab $1000 cash out of Castagnoli’s hand. Now for the second time, Sweeney will put on the trunks and compete in a ROH ring. It will be Sweeney, Brent Albright & Chris Hero vs. Claudio Catagnoli, Erick Stevens & Pelle Primeau. The only way the match can end is by eliminating all the members of the opposing team by pinfall, pass out or tap out. Save 25% on great seats now at ROHwrestling.com.
