Honor Takes Center Stage is a professional wrestling pay-per-view (PPV) event produced by Ring of Honor (ROH). It will take place over two consecutive days, on 1 and 2 April, 2011 at the Center Stage Theater in Atlanta as an evening and matinee show, respectively. It is the seventh ROH event to be shown on live online pay-per-view.[1]

Production

In February 2011, ROH announced during 9th Anniversary Show that their next pay-per-view would be taking place in April and would be live on Internet pay-per-view through GoFightLive.[1]

Background

The main match of the first show is

ROH World Television Champion[4]. He held this title for 280 days, making nine title defences until Daniels won it from him in December on the weekly Ring of Honor Wrestling programme in a match that almost went to the standard 15 minute time limit of TV Title matches.[5] Their rematch was given an extended 10 minutes and made a Two Out of Three Falls match at 9th Anniversary Show in February which ended in a 1-1 time limit draw.[3]

The second featured championship match sees

rubber match with the Kings, this time for the ROH World Tag Team Championship. On 7 March, Wrestling's Greatest Tag Team issued a video challenge to the only major tag team in ROH they had not yet faced, the American Wolves (Davey Richards and Eddie Edwards), for a match on the second day of the event, which they soon accepted.[6]

Roderick Strong is involved in two rematches of his World Championship reign, across the weekend. On the first event he will be wrestling Davey Richards, who he defended his title against at

El Generico but had to hit Generico with the title belt to do so after Generico showed resilience against Strong.[8]

On the second day, there is another rematch but this time a tag team contest between the

Kenny King and Rhett Titus). Going into Manhattan Mayhem IV, the Express were a villainous pair but the New York crowd did not welcome the southern Briscoes leading to a rare double-turn. Spurred on by a rowdy crowd, the match became violent with Titus becoming bloodied.[9] After the All Night Express won the match, the two teams continued to brawl even into the locker room, where a rematch was offered and eventually accepted.[10]

As part of an ongoing feud, Prince Nana's group The Embassy has been targeting Colt Cabana who disagrees with Nana using his money to exploit people. On the 24 March Videowire, Nana's barrister RD Evans announced they had procured the services of English wrestling veteran Dave Taylor to face Cabana on the second day of the event.[11]
