See below for the up-to-date cards for each stop of the tour.<\/li>\n<li>Sinclair Broadcast Group (SBGI), the parent company of Ring of Honor, agreed to a deal with Disney to acquire the current Fox Regional Sports Channels that Disney is unable to keep control of once their acquisition of Fox is complete. The deal is for a reported 10 Billion dollars. At the moment, it doesn&#8217;t appear that this news will affect ROH in a positive or negative way.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<hr \/>\n<h3>\u2022Live Event Results<\/h3>\n<p>There were no live events this week<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3>\u2022Upcoming Major Show: The Crockett Cup<\/h3>\n<p><strong>ROH War of the World Worlds Tour (4 stops)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">Night 1 Buffalo, NY (5\/8\/19)<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none;\">\n<ul>\n<li>Guerrillas Of Destiny vs. Lethal &amp; Gresham for the tag titles<\/li>\n<li>Villain Enterprises vs. Jeff Cobb, Yuji Nagata, &amp; Satoshi Kojima for the six-man titles<\/li>\n<li>Bandido vs. Flip Gordon<\/li>\n<li>Rush vs. Silas Young<\/li>\n<li>Mark Haskins &amp; Tracy Williams vs. Evil &amp; Sanada<\/li>\n<li>Shane Taylor vs. Hikuleo<\/li>\n<li>TK O\u2019Ryan &amp; Vinny Marseglia vs. Clark Connors &amp; Karl Fredericks<\/li>\n<li>PJ Black vs. Alex Coughlin<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">Night 2 &#8211; Toronto, ON (5\/9\/19)<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none;\">\n<ul>\n<li>Matt Taven vs. PCO for the world title<\/li>\n<li>The Briscoes vs. Mark Haskins &amp; Tracy Williams<\/li>\n<li>Jay Lethal vs. Satoshi Kojima<\/li>\n<li>Jeff Cobb vs. Shane Taylor vs. Brody King vs. Hirooki Goto<\/li>\n<li>Silas Young vs. Yuji Nagata<\/li>\n<li>TK O\u2019Ryan &amp; Vinny Marseglia vs. Evil &amp; Sanada<\/li>\n<li>Rush vs. PJ Black<\/li>\n<li>Hikuleo &amp; Guerrillas Of Destiny vs. NJPW Young Lions<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">Night 3 &#8211; Grand Rapids, MI (5\/11\/19)<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none;\">\n<ul>\n<li>Lethal, Cobb, Goto, Kojima, &amp; Nagata vs. The Plague<\/li>\n<li>Kelly Klein vs. Stacy Shadows for the women\u2019s title<\/li>\n<li>Rush vs. Tracy Williams vs. PJ Black vs. Eli Isom for a world title match<\/li>\n<li>The Kingdom vs. Hikuleo &amp; Guerrillas Of Destiny<\/li>\n<li>The Bouncers vs. Evil &amp; Sanada<\/li>\n<li>PCO vs. Mark Haskins<\/li>\n<li>Coast 2 Coast vs. NJPW Young Lions<\/li>\n<li>Cheeseburger vs. Clark Connors<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">Night 4 &#8211; Chicago, IL (5\/12\/19)<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none;\">\n<ul>\n<li>OH Champion Jeff Cobb vs. Rush vs. Jay Lethal vs. PCO<\/li>\n<li>ROH &amp; IWGP Tag Team Champions G.O.D vs. The Briscoes<\/li>\n<li>NWA National Champion Colt Cabana vs. James Storm<\/li>\n<li>Evil &amp; Sanada vs. Satoshi Kojima &amp; Yuji Nagata<\/li>\n<li>NWA Women\u2019s Champion Sienna vs. Marti Belle<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<hr \/>\n<h3>\u2022Upcoming Events<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>ROH War of the Worlds (Honor Club Event) 5\/8\/19 in Buffalo, NY at Buffalo Riverworks<\/li>\n<li>ROH War of the Worlds (Honor Club Event) 5\/9\/19 in Toronto, ON Canada at Ted Reeve Arena<\/li>\n<li>ROH War of the Worlds (Honor Club Event) 5\/11\/19 in Grand Rapids, MI at Deltaplex<\/li>\n<li>ROH War of the Worlds (Honor Club Event) 5\/12\/19 in Chicago, IL at The Odeum In Villa Park<\/li>\n<li>ROH State of the Art (Honor Club Event) 6\/1\/19 in Kent, WA at Showare Center<\/li>\n<li>ROH State of the Art (Honor Club Event) 6\/2\/19 in Portland, OR at Viking Pavilion<\/li>\n<li>ROH Best In The World (PPV Event) 6\/28\/19 in Baltimore, MD at UMBC Event Center<\/li>\n<li>ROH Best In The World (TV Taping) 6\/29\/19 in Philadelphia, PA at 2300 Arena<\/li>\n<li>ROH Manhattan Mayhem (Live Event) 7\/20\/19 in New York, NY at Hammerstein Ballroom<\/li>\n<li>ROH Mass Hysteria (Live Event) 7\/21\/19 in Lowell, MA at Lowell Memorial Auditorium<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>All current live events are located on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rohwrestling.com\/live\/upcoming-shows\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">rohwrestling.com<\/span><\/a><\/p><div id=\"pwtor-307568638\" class=\"pwtor-content pwtor-entity-placement\"><div align=\"center\" data-freestar-ad=\"__336x280 __336x280\" id=\"pwtorchcom_test_300x250\">\r\n  <script data-cfasync=\"false\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n    freestar.config.enabled_slots.push({ placementName: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x250\", slotId: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x250\" });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div><\/div>\n<hr \/>\n<h3>\u2022Latest TV Highlights: 5\/5\/19 ROH Wrestling<\/h3>\n<p><strong>ROH TV Results<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>May 5th, 2019<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Pittsburgh, PA at Stage AE<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Airing on Sinclair Networks and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rohwrestling.com\/\"><b>rohwrestling.com <\/b><\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>PJ Black defeated Eli Isom at 8:34<\/li>\n<li>Kelly Klein (c) defeated Ray Lynn at 4:03 in a non-title match<\/li>\n<li>The Allure come out and took out Klein and \u201ctagged\u201d Jenny Rose with Lipstick<\/li>\n<li>Dalton Castle comes out and asks the Boys to come to the ring.

At the moment, ROH is beyond lackluster from a fan perspective. Not to mention the near unwatchable WWE product, along with NJPW\u2019s Super Junior Tournament (full disclosure, my least favorite New Japan tournament). This is always a tough time of the year.<\/p><div id=\"pwtor-625505369\" class=\"pwtor-content-1 pwtor-entity-placement\"><!-- Tag ID: pwtorchcom_test_300x600 -->\r\n<div align=\"center\" data-freestar-ad=\"__336x280 __300x600\" id=\"pwtorchcom_test_300x600\">\r\n  <script data-cfasync=\"false\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n    freestar.config.enabled_slots.push({ placementName: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x600\", slotId: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x600\" });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p>The big build to Wrestle Kingdom in January and the build to WrestleMania (as well as every other US promotion&#8217;s biggest shows) in early April always lends itself to a less than desirable few weeks after.<\/p>\n<p>All of that being said, I find this time of year to usually be a bit of a drag. Watching wrestling is never work, but I will be honest; there are weeks at a time where I will follow the product, but I choose to not watch anything wrestling related in order to reset my fanhood.<\/p>\n<p>Do any of you have times of the year where you feel this way? Or am I the only one who has the unique perspective on this? If you feel the way I do, what do you do in the meantime? What brings you back into the fandom after a bit of a layoff?<\/p>\n<p><em>Tyler has been a wrestling fan for 20 years. He\u2019s from Columbus, Ohio.
