I saw this rumor floating around so I decided to post it. Take from this what you will.
Mitsuharu Misawa vs KENTA for the GHC Championship is set, and will be announced on October 1 on ROHWrestling.com
Credit: Wrestling Observer Newsletter
I can see this happening. I would also assume that Morishima/Marufuji would also be happening.

As nice as that would be, there is nothing at all about this in the Observer issue dated for 9/17/07. Sorry guys not happening.

I agree with the man above me, if only because I trust him as a source more.
That said, I understand the tag is designed to be like a main event that would sell out in Japan. But I don't totally agree with them getting to book him twice and them not fighting to mix one of their guys into the match.
I really don't expect him to face a non-NOAH talent on 11/3. But having an open mind, if they go with someone in the ROH camp, it should be interesting.

McGuinness would seem logical, but I don't see Misawa putting anyone over those two nights.

Misawa is choosing his opponents as a condition of him working in the states, he booked the main event tag in Philly and is booking his NYC match, which is hasn't been announced yet. If it's KENTA, great, but I doubt it will happen.

If it's KENTA, great, but I doubt it will happen. Isn't it alittle backwards for ROH to say they're booking on behalf of him, if he's the one deciding the matches? Also, alittle distrustful he appears to be. You would think ROH has proven that they protect the foreign talent and don't use them just for their own benefit. Misawa fears a match again Shane Hagadorn?  |

I still say it's gonna be Misawa vs Morishima.
Before anyone says it'll be GHC Heavyweight Champion vs ROH Champion it won't be. Morishima will lose the title to Danielson at the 4th PPV taping and then go onto have one of if not his final match in ROH for the time being against Misawa.
Though I wish the reason it's taking so long is because ROH is trying to work something out with TNA to use Joe but I highly doubt that's the case.

I enjoy Danielson in the main event, but I will settle for no less than Nigel McGuinness. Whether they do another 1 on 1, a triple threat or three way dance, I personally wanna see Nigel take the belt of Morishima. But of course there is something of a story with Morishima and AmDrag, still I prefer fresh champions, and ROH has yet to put the belt on someone whose been there, so I think it's abit early to change that. |

Morishima will be working a hell of a lot more ROH dates throughout the year, so I doubt it. And Morishima has already had too many matches with Misawa.

Morishima probably isn't working many more matches after Novemeber 3rd. I can see him working Final Battle and possibly the next Chicago show and that's it. Morishima was only booked for a certain amount of dates and I think his title run is coming to an end very soon. There's no one left that's credible to beat him. Danielson/Morishima has too much build with PPV and all for Danielson to not take the title off him. I hope I'm wrong about Misawa/Morishima but I wouldn't doubt if that's the match. I still say it's gonna be Misawa vs Morishima. Before anyone says it'll be GHC Heavyweight Champion vs ROH Champion it won't be. Morishima will lose the title to Danielson at the 4th PPV taping and then go onto have one of if not his final match in ROH for the time being against Misawa.

As much as I like Nigel he's doing next to nothing right now. It wouldn't make much sense for him to come out of nowhere and suddenly win the title. Nigel will get the title, just not from Morishima. Or less the four corner survival was a number one contenders match at the 3rd PPV, I don't see Nigel beating Morishima. Plus isn't Nigel stuck in some mid card feud with Whitmer, Pearce & Albright? |

Plus isn't Nigel stuck in some mid card feud with Whitmer, Pearce & Albright? Maybe I missed a reason to believe that, but why do you say it? All I'm aware of is there attack on Delirious. To be fair, every once in a while ROH will not completely follow through on something, like Hero vs Nigel. Yes it lead to a pure rules showdown that Hero won, but it seemed more like a way to use your mid-carders as mid-carders, when either could be built to a world title. Anyhow, I just hope a PPV in Edison doesn't mean steaper prices or sell-out, I'm pretty sure I'm gonna wind up picking mines at the door. That said, I can't wait and hope Morishima drops the belt their. But you never know, especially with Misawa coming in November, ROH is definitely looking at putting a current ROH Champion and GHC Champion standing opposite from the other. Closest thing was Joe vs Kobashi where Joe wasn't champion and Kobashi dropped the belt 7 months prior to it. |

Nigel & Delirious were beat down by Whitmer, Pearce & Albright during Caged Rage in a match that was supposely taped for the 3rd PPV. If I'm correct Nigel also teamed with Claudio so that he could job to this awful team of Whitmer & Albright in Detriot. However another four corner survival was then taped to be on the PPV so I guess ROH has no idea what they want to do with Nigel but it doesn't look like he will be getting the belt just yet and if he still does, it would be horrible booking to put a guy like BJ Whitmer, the same man that lost to Pelle and Brent Alrbight, the same man who lost to Jack Evans over your next world champion. |

Need I point out to you how Homicide lost to Rave a month or so before he beat Dragon for the title, and there was really no reason behind that. Sure they were trying to build Rave up, but it's the same damn thing. Especially considering Rave's record prior to that, not having picked up an ROH win since August. (3 months prior to facing the man being built up as the next ROH champ) |

(3 months prior to facing the man being built up as the next ROH champ) The difference was that Homicide was built up since about July as ROH's top guy. He only lost to Rave so that when he won the title he could feud with him. While I don't agree with Homicide losing to Rave he was still built up as being the top guy. Nigel has been stuck in filler tag matches for the last 2 months. |
