“Best in The World 2011? Announced For iPPV
Ring of Honor officials are excited to announce that our next iPPV, “Best In The World 2011” will emanate from New York City & The Hammerstein Ballroom, 311 West 34th Street, New York, NY 10001 on Sunday afternoon June 26th at 4PM.
This event will be broadcast LIVE on iPPV courtesy of GoFightLive.TV! Tickets are on sale now in the ROH Online Store, and check out www.gfl.tv for details on the iPPV broadcast!
Ring of Honor officials are also extremely excited to announce the return of a man who has not seen the inside of an ROH ring since August of 2006: the one & only Jay Lethal!
Lethal started in ROH as Hydro back in 2003 at “Revenge on the Prophecy” as part of Special K and slowly evolved as the standout member of that group. Breaking off on his own in 2004, Lethal would capture his first championship, the ROH Pure Title, at “Trios Tournament 2005” by beating John Walters. Lethal would eventually lose the title to his mentor, Samoa Joe, at the first “Manhattan Mayhem”, and embark into a very heated feud with Homicide, Low Ki, & the Rottwielers. Lethal was also the first man to challenge CM Punk for the ROH World Title at “Sign of Dishonor”, and challenged on several occasions for the ROH Tag Titles & the Pure Title. Lethal’s last match in ROH was at “Fight of the Century” as part of a Four Corner Survival that also featured Nigel McGuinness, Claudio Castagnoli, & Christopher Daniels.
Now, after nearly five years, Lethal will make his return to Ring of Honor on June 26th as part of “Best In The World 2011”!!! His opponent for the event has yet to be finalized so keep an eye on ROHWrestling.com in the coming weeks for that, as well as additional talent and matches for ROH’s next iPPV broadcast.
