Castagnoli can once again pick anyone in the locker room that he wants as his partner. Castagnoli has revealed his choice and it is his former ROH World Tag Team Championship partner Chris Hero!!! Hero has split from Castagnoli after signing with super agent Larry Sweeney. Now Hero will reunite the team to go after the titles. Here is the most interesting part. Since these teams have split their previous two encounters last December, this one will determine a decisive winner of the series. This World Tag Team Title contest will be 2/3 Falls!!! Check out Briscoes vs. Hero & Castagnoli in a 2/3 Falls Match for the ROH World Tag Team Titles on June 9th in Philadelphia.

Ring Of Honor: March 29th Newswire

March 29th: We are ready for the huge weekend in Detroit. There will be tickets available at the door for tomorrow's (Friday) "All Star Extravaganza III" event and Saturday's "Supercard Of Honor II" shows. Six of the top stars from Dragon Gate are landing in Detroit today. "Supercard Of Honor II" will be exactly one year to the day of last year's Wrestling Observer Newsletter and Pro Wrestling Torch match of the year featuring six of Dragon Gate's best. Saturday will see another pure Dragon Gate six man as CIMA, Shingo & Susumu Yokosuka take on Dragon Kid, Ryo Saito & Masaaki Mochizuki. CIMA sent word that they know that expectations are high, but that they are all very excited for this match and that they promise to try their best. Make sure to check the article on the main page of www.ROHwrestling.com for a scouting report on all these athletes. Yesterday's ROHwrestling.com took a closer look at "All Star Extravaganza III," now we will look at Saturday's event.

March 29th: One of the main events will see a battle of former partners for the FIP World Heavyweight Title. Roderick Strong will put the FIP Title on the line against the man that he was a World Tag Champion with for nine months. It will be Strong vs. Austin Aries on Saturday in Detroit. Strong turned on Aries in shocking fashion last month in New York to start the No Remorse Corps. Now Aries wants revenge and he knows the best way to do that is to win the FIP World Heavyweight Title from Strong. Two of the best athletes today are going to be unleashed in Detroit.

March 29th: Right now there are some great wrestlers that do not have a scheduled match on Saturday including Nigel McGuinness, Delirious, Chris Hero with Larry Sweeney, Colt Cabana, Rocky Romero, YAMATO, Claudio Castagnoli and Adam Pearce with Shane Hagadorn. All these athletes will be in the best possible match ups on Saturday. The events of Friday's show will shape some of the matches on Saturday's show. One of ROH's biggest crowds ever will witness "Supercard Of Honor II" so you better believe ROH will deliver the strongest card possible. Here at ROH we have one goal this weekend and that is to put on the best shows this weekend in Detroit.

March 29th: The buy 3, get 1 free sale on all ROH show, Straight Shootin' and Secrets Of The Ring DVDs will be in effect at both events in Detroit. This will include new releases. The first DVDs from the Fifth Year Festival will be released in Detroit and over the weekend at ROHwrestling.com. Check out "Fifth Year Festival: NYC" for the Samoa Joe vs. Takeshi Morishima bout that Dave Meltzer gave ****1/2 and called the best match this year. Also out this weekend is "Fifth Year Festival: Philly" with the historic Homicide vs. Takeshi Morishima World Title Match. ROHwrestling.com is also pleased to release SHIMMER Vol. 7, which might be the best SHIMMER DVD yet. Go to www.ROHwrestling.com this weekend for all these releases and another big sale!!!

March 29th: Homicide is coming to "Supercard Of Honor II" for revenge. Last December, Brent Albright took a payoff from then ROH World Champion Bryan Danielson to injure Homicide's shoulder. Albright got the job done and the injury almost cost Homicide the World Title. Homicide has never come for revenge until now. This Saturday in Detroit will see Homicide vs. Brent Albright. This is not going to be a classic wrestling match. It will be a war in Detroit!!!

March 29th: We will have lots of news about April 13th in Long Island, April 14th in Edison, April 27th in St. Paul and April 28th in Chicago next week in the ROHwrestling.com Newswire. Now here is the skinny on this Saturday's "Supercard Of Honor II" in Detroit:
