Ring Of Honor is currently set to announce their plans to debut in Japan this year at a press conference this Monday, January 22, 2007. As of right now, the deal is not 100%, but it is currently being reported by the press in Japan that there will be a show in Tokyo, Japan on July 16 in conjunction with Pro Wrestling NOAH and then a show the next day on July 17 in Osaka, Japan in conjunction with Dragon Gate. Both promotions have done extensive work with Ring Of Honor in the past resulting in many of ROH's best matches including Kenta Kobashi versus Samoa Joe from October of 2005, Do Fixer versus Blood Generation from March of 2006, and KENTA versus Bryan Danielson in September of 2006.

ROH owner Cary Silkin taped a message for Monday's press conference and there will be a representative from Ring Of Honor at tomorrow's Pro Wrestling NOAH show at the Budokan Hall headlined by Mitsuharu Misawa defending his GHC Heavyweight Championship against Takeshi Morishima. The show also features ROH's Briscoe Brothers defending their newly won GHC Junior Heavyweight Tag Team Championships against Ricky Marvin & Kotaro Suzuki.

In addition to all of this, Samoa Joe's Pro Wrestling NOAH opponent for the February 16th show in New York City will be announced early next week. Samoa Joe has been calling out Pro Wrestling NOAH and its wrestlers on ROH shows for a while now building up to a match with a NOAH superstar. While the opponent has not been named, it is well-known that Ring Of Honor has been trying it's best to get Takeshi Morishima to take on Samoa Joe this year.

I'm glad to see ROH branching out all over the world and hopefully these shows will go down as well as the ones from the UK last year.

This is a nice step to becoming more than an indy fed. They still need more, like a TV deal.

I don't think ROH needs a tv deal unless its on a good channel and that they don't have to pay for the production deals. They are very successful selling dvds and they are turning a profit. If getting a tv deal means changing their product then I would never want them to get one.

Unless they get a TV deal they will never be considered a major promotion.
