The planned West Virginia date has been canceled. I haven't heard why but given how poorly local independents do there, I am guessing the early outlook for the show was not favorable.

The Toronto TV episodes are available now via the ROH website's "early bird" program.
ROH has released a new Jay Lethal shirt.

Announcer Caleb Seltzer is done here. He ended up as the color commentator when the company was backed into a corner and needed someone to fill the role when Adam Pearce, who at one point was coming in, did not. Seltzer was then used to bridge the gap until Steve Corino got the role and was not considered a strong announcer, leading to his exit. There was also unhappiness with him over comments made about the company and certain talents on a podcast, with the idea being that he did not represent the company well.
The company will return to Texas on 6/1 with a date in San Antonio, Texas. The early word is they have a nice advance. Davey Richards vs. Jay Briscoe for the ROH title will headline.
