SOTB!!!'s ROH/NJPW War of the Worlds '15 Preview

Once a year, for the past two years, NJPW and ROH have teamed up for an incredible showcase of each promotion's talent. Now I know that ROH is typically Nathan's turf, but I wanted to step up to give a bit of a preview to the upcoming War of the Worlds '15 PPV. I'm Speed on the Beat, and this isn't WIRTB Review.

Our event card looks something like this, per Wiki:

2	Kushida vs. Roderick Strong	Singles match

7	Jay Briscoe (c) vs. Bobby Fish	Singles match for the ROH World Championship
8	Bullet Club (A.J. Styles, Matt Jackson and Nick Jackson) vs. The Kingdom (Adam Cole, Matt Taven and Michael Bennett) (with Maria Kanellis)	Six-man tag team match
(c) – refers to the champion(s) heading into the match

Essentially, while there are few overarching storylines, there don't need to be many. The lineup sells itself, as you have two types of matches. First, you have matches where you see guys such as Jay Lethal going up against (for at least the second time this year) Jushin Liger. In other words, you see the new talent getting to rub elbows (and potentially throw elbows) with some of the most legendary wrestlers. Secondly, you have the overarching feud between The Kingdom and Bullet Club, one which has also managed to ensnare The Addiction. This is the type of feud that, for instance, The Invasion angle wishes it could be.

But, that's another post for another time.

Until next time.
