Takeshi Morishima defeated Homicide to win the ROH World Title last Saturday in Philadelphia. Morishima's post match interview revealed that this title change could have international implications in Pro Wrestling NOAH.
Morishima was very aggressive against Homicide. He attacked the Champion in the aisle way during Homicide's ring entrance. This is the first time anyone has ever done this is in a ROH World Title Match. The hard-hitting bout saw Homicide bloody Morishima's nose. However, Morishima used a lariat and two backdrop drivers to defeat Homicide.
Morishima's actions in the post match didn't follow tradition just like the prematch attack. Post match BJ Whitmer and two students from the ROH Wrestling School entered the ring to congratulate the new champ as is customary in title changes. However, Morishima charged and took out all three men. The rest of the ROH locker room was in the aisle way on their way to the ring to congratulate Morishima. After Morishima's actions they all froze in their steps and parted like the Red Sea as Morishima stormed into the locker room.
Morishima's press conference with the Japanese media revealed that the new Champion would like to defend the ROH World Title on the March 4th Budokan Hall show against KENTA in Tokyo. However, Morishima must first get past BJ Whitmer this Friday in Dayton. If Whitmer does not win the title in Dayton there will be no ROH World Title defenses in Liverpool or Detroit. The pressure is on Whitmer so ROH can have World Title Matches on these four huge events. Whether it is England or Japan, the ROH belt will truly be a World Title on the first weekend of March.
For those of you not familiar with this super heavyweight from NOAH make sure to catch the new ROH Video Wire later this week for free at ROHvideos.com. It will feature extensive highlights of Morishima against Samoa Joe and Homicide.
Homicide had a title reign that he can be proud of. "The Notorious 187" traveled a long Road Of Homicide to one of the greatest moments in ROH history when he captured the belt at "Final Battle 2006" on 12/23/06 (the DVD has just been released at http://www.ROHwrestling.com). Homicide battled through tough title defenses against Chris Hero, Samoa Joe and Jimmy Rave.
Will the era of Morishima make it past Dayton this Friday?
