Also in action at the 15th Anniversary Show will be The Broken Hardyz defending their newly won ROH World Tag Team Championship against The Young Bucks and Roppongi Vice in a Las Vegas Street Fight.
The deal with Matt and Jeff Hardy came about on a whim, and Koff addressed the question as to whether he feels the immensely popular act will help take the company to the next level.
“When I hear “taking to the next level,” I think our brand speaks to that next level. I think what it says to me is that The Hardyz have an amazing respect for our company and their ability and our ability to do something on such short-term notice is really flattering and humbling to me. The fact that Bully Ray would want to be part of Ring of Honor, not that every wrestler shouldn't, but he chose to be part. There's a big difference when you choose to be part of something, you're making the decision to be part of that. And that pleases me, that humbles me, that compliments me.
“I don't want to use such a trite phrase as “We're the place to be,” but I think right now Ring of Honor is a place to be, and it's one that's in the spotlight and one that's getting a lot of attention. But it's getting a lot of attention because of the work the guys do. Stars have come in and out of Ring of Honor, some have been Superstars that have gone on to bigger and better things, but there's been a lot of wrestlers over the years, especially as we go into our 15th Anniversary Show, we think about all of the talent.”
“We just start naming names, we start getting into the double hands of who we can name. I think it's a testament to our organisation and the style and what wrestlers bring to that style. I'm glad that talent like The Hardyz and Bully Ray recognise that and want to be part of that. To run an organisation people want to be a part of, that's important to me and that's important to our fans.”
