The first taping from the ECW arena will see former tag champs go one on one.

PWI’s Dave Scherer reprinted a press release from ROH announcing that GHC Jr. Heavyweight Champion Katushiko Nakajima will appear at ROH’s Wrestlemania weekend shows on April 3rd and 4th in Houston.

The Winnipeg Sun has an interview with ROH Champ Nigel McGuinness about his bit part in the Wrestler:

“Just having your name attached to the movie certainly raises your profile, so it does help in that way,” said McGuinness, who is the current Ring of Honor World Champion. “People are asking me about it, so it can’t be all that bad, can it?”

PWT’s James Caldwell talks about ROH’s announcer situation and gives some background on the HDNET play by play man, Mike Hodgewood.
