Misawa is one of the true legends of Japanese wrestling. The five-time Triple Crown winner and two-time former GHC Heavyweight Champion has done it all in the Japanese ring and has now decided the time is right to showcase his incredible skills to UK fans. This icon of the industry will be joined by his GHC Tag Team Championship partner, the cocky and talented Yoshinari Ogawa, and one of the most promising and exciting youngsters in Japanese wrestling, Kotaro Suzuki. Misawa, Ogawa and Suzuki join what has now become a truly international line-up of names already announced for the mega-event on Saturday March 19th at Coventry SkyDome. First Match Announced: Samoa Joe v CM Punk The Ring of Honor rivalry continues!

'The Fallen Angel' Christopher Daniels Former NWA-TNA Tag Team Champion and leader of The Prophecy in ROH. CM Punk Set to clash with Samoa Joe at International Showdown, Punk and Joe have warred throughout 2004 in some of the best matches of the year and in several classic battles for the ROH Title, including two superb one-hour draws, Punk has yet to pin the rock-hard Samoan's shoulders to the mat. However, many experts believe The Second City Saint's efforts softened up Joe, perhaps indirectly causing him to eventually lose the ROH Title on Boxing Day to Austin Aries at ROH Final Battle 2004. Samoa Joe The former Ring of Honor Heavyweight Champion, who held that title for nearly two years, has agreed to be part of the TWC Supershow: International Showdown. Recently ranked number four in the Power Slam Magazine Top 50 for 2004, the hard-hitting Islander has competed in some superb matches in 2004, particularly against CM Punk, Homicide and 'American Dragon' Bryan Danielson.
