Ring of Honor announced that Jushin "Thunder" Liger will be a part of this major set of shows



ROH released the following statement:

"Liger has wrestled and beaten many of the top smaller wrestlers in both Japan and the United States, and is by many to be one of the greatest and most revolutionary junior heavyweights to ever step foot in a wrestling ring.

On November 5, 2004, Liger debuted in ROH headlining the "Weekend of Thunder" events to huge acclaim. ROH selected Bryan Danielson as Liger's special opponent for that weekend. For Night 1, the two faced each other in a singles match, with Liger winning the highly competitive bout after a super brain buster.

On November 6, 2004 Night 2 would see a "dream tag-team" match in the main event. Liger chose then-ROH Champion Samoa Joe as his partner out of respect for Joe's accomplishments as ROH World Champion, and Danielson selected Low Ki. Liger again came out on top, pinning Danielson with a Liger Bomb to win the match. Liger last saw ROH competition On January 29, 2010 at ROH's debut event in Los Angeles, California when lost a non-title match to then ROH World ChampionAustin Aries. It was Liger's first ROH match in over five years, and his last until now.
