This Sunday night Ring of Honor presents Global Wars live on PPV and IPPV, as a part of their annual co-produced tour with New Japan Pro Wrestling. Current ROH World Champion Jay Lethal talked to CraveOnline.com to discuss the event, and his upcoming title defense against hometown hero Colt Cabana, and the company’s big return to PPV.
“It’s always cool when the challenger is in his hometown. In the history of professional wrestling, most of the time when the challenger has the home field advantage, they usually win in most cases. Unfortunately for Cabana, this isn’t one of those cases” … “We’re going to be on live PPV this Sunday and everyone in the wrestling business knows that Sunday PPVs are a staple in wrestling history. Anytime you’re on television, you automatically step your gameup and plus, that Chicago crowd, it’s going to be so exciting.”
Lethal was also on hand at Chicago White Sox game to throw out the first pitch, in promotion for Sunday’s big show.
