Will We See Misawa In A ROH Ring?

[Viva La Luke]

Do you think we will ever see the great Japanese wrestler Misawa in a ROH ring?
If so who would you have him feud with and do you think anyone is willing enough to take a Tiger Driver 91.

Put him up against Danielson or Romero... He would put on a show against either of the two men. I say Romero because I like the prospect of seeing a lot of stiff-kicks. If Ki ever returns, he would make a great opponent for Misawa.

Deffo Romero it would be good to watch although I only watch it on webcasts like i did TNA but yeh that would be awesome

I heard Truthslayer from Youtube say the most likely opponents for Misawa would be Danielson or Chris Hero. I guess theres a 50 / 50 chance he would wrestle towards the end of the year, perhaps at Final Battle.

Misawa in ROH would be F'ning sweet. i hope he does wrestle in ROH sometime this year.

I remember reading rumors about a possible Misawa match in Ring Of Honor. Aries and Joe were two of the names mentioned as possible opponents (before TNA & ROH stopped doing business together) With Aries back, I wouldn't mind watching Misawa vs Aries....Would ROH let Misawa use the tiger driver 91? I know ROH doesn't have much limitations, but that move is very dangerous.

 

[Viva La Luke]

Theres a couple of guys i would like to see Misawa come up against but if i had to pick one it would be the self proclaimed Greatest Wrestler In The World Bryan Danielson i defiantly think that would be a MOTY candidate. Although i dont think he would take a Tiger Driver 91 i consider it the one of the most dangerous moves in wrestling especially since he only just came back from injury, it still shocks me how Taue and many Japanese wrestlers after him are willing to take it.

This is the Tiger Driver 91, for people who haven't seen it.

I can't believe that RoH would let Misawa use his Tiger Driver '98, let alone Japan...

Puttin Misawa in a ROH would b a great move for ROH.But i would like to Misawa vs Kenta or Misawa vs Danielson is always a great choice.

Actually Misawa has had a couple of matches with Kenta Kobashi iam pretty sure. Iam postive they had a match in 2003 sometime for the GHC title.

I could probally hook you up with a match if you like.

 

[Famou$ 187]

Yea thanks.

Is that move he does banned in the U.S?

 

[Viva La Luke]

Iam not sure about the U.S in whole normally the feds decide which moves are banned and what not it would defiantly banned in the WWE. I know Jamie Noble used to have a finisher in ROH similiar to it so iam not sure about ROH.

 

[Rell]

Yeah Noble used the "Gibson Driver" (Roderick Strong uses this move often) It's version of the tiger driver, Its similar to a sit out Powerbomb. It was far less dangerous than Misawa's version of the move.

 

[Soulpower]

^^^Exactly. With the Gibson Driver a lot of the pressure falls on the back, with the Tiger Driver all the pressure lands on the neck, making it a much more dangerous move. But I'm pretty sure most of the ROH goys wouldn't mind taking the move from Misawa, after all the guy's a legend.

Well we know Misawa will be in ROH and it will be 11-2 and 11-3. The question is, who will he be facing??? Will it be two singles matches or perhaps a tag or 6 man. My predictions

11-2 Misawa, Kenta, Morishima vs Danielson Nigel, Claudio

11-3 Misawa vs Mystery Opponent ( later to be named, some guy named joe)
