ROH has issued the following press release:
Last year, Ring of Honor Wrestling debuted at MCU Park in Brooklyn, NY for the inaugural Field of Honor event. The night was filled with the stars of ROH displaying the Best Pro Wrestling on the Planet.
Ring of Honor Wrestling will return to Brooklyn on Saturday, August 22nd, 2015 to present FIELD OF HONOR ’15 at MCU Park in Brooklyn, NY. This year, stars from NJPW will be joining us for even more incredible action!
“Wrestling has a rich history at ballparks dating back almost a hundred years and we are excited to return to MCU Park, to celebrate that history by partnering with the Brooklyn Cyclones,” said Joe Koff, COO of Ring of Honor.
Tickets for this event are be on sale now and can be purchased by clicking HERE (http://purchase.tickets.com/buy/TicketPurchase?agency=CYC_WRESTLING&pid=7999268)!
Tickets also available by phone at 718-507-TIXX, or in person at the MCU Park Box Office.
The first match announcement for Field of Honor ’15 is…
THE BRISCOES VS TIME SPLITTERS (ALEX SHELLEY AND KUSHIDA)
The greatest tag team in Ring of Honor history faces the team that has set the tone for high-flying action in NJPW when Mark and Jay Briscoe take on Alex Shelley and KUSHIDA.
ROH fans last saw Time Splitters at Final Battle last December, when they came within an eyelash of capturing the ROH World Tag Team Championship from reDRagon. Since then, after great success during the War of the Worlds/Global Wars tour, KUSHIDA has gone on to win the prestigious Best of the Super Juniors Tournament. The sky’s the limit for the KUSHIDA!
Alex Shelley has a long history in ROH, from his days as the leader of “Generation Next” to his time in the “Embassy” but the team of Time Splitters has showcased Shelley’s efforts. The former NJPW Junior Heavyweight Tag Team Champions look to gain championship traction in both New Japan and Ring of Honor and win at Field of Honor ’15 would make that a reality.
The championship legacy of the Briscoes is unparalleled in Professional Wresting today as Mark and Jay are the 8-time former ROH World Tag Team Champions. They have set the standard by which all tag teams today are measured and in the wake of Jay’s recent defeat at “Best in the World”, a win at Field of Honor ’15 against a top-rated global tag team like Time Splitters is the goal for “Dem Boys”!
It will be fast-paced and intense when Mark and Jay Briscoe take on Alex Shelley and KUSHIDA. The Briscoes vs Time Splitters at Field of Honor ’15!
