NJPW Possibly Using More Ring Of Honor Talents For G1, Jay Lethal Reaches Milestone, NJPW On AXS

- According to Dave Meltzer on Wrestling Observer Radio last night, it appears likely that New Japan Pro Wrestling will attempt to utilize some Ring of Honor talents during the G1 Climax Tournament this summer. Several extra dates have been added to the tour over previous years.

Meltzer said that Matt Taven, Michael Bennett and Adam Cole were all likely to be used, with Bobby Fish and Kyle O'Reilly not expected for the tournament. Taven and Bennett, collectively known as Kingdom, won the IWGP Tag Team Championship earlier this month.

- Ring of Honor talent Jay Lethal reached a milestone earlier this month as well, as he passed the one year mark since winning the Ring of Honor World Television Championship. Lethal shattered the previous record, held by Matt Taven at 287 days. He's also defended the title 26 times, more than double the previous record.

- A reminder for fans of New Japan Pro Wrestling on AXS, the first portion of season 1 concluded last Friday. AXS extended the first season for an additional 12 episodes, which will return on May 22 with matches from the "Best of the Super Juniors XXI" tournament.
