– ROH sent out the following today? "Sweet and Sour" Larry Sweeney was a one of a kind performer who riled up the fans and touched all those he became close with in his personal life. Sweeney's compelling charisma and unique personality will never be forgotten by ROH fans and especially those friends that he was closest to. During his time in ROH, Sweeney managed the likes of Chris Hero, Claudio Castagnoli, Davey Richards, and many more gifted wrestlers that he took to the top. Sweeney was a highlight of every ROH event that he participated in, with his strong passion and intelligence for professional wrestling showing through. Sweeney captured the attention of every fan that saw him perform in and out of the ring. Sweeney is deeply missed by everyone in Ring of Honor and we want to pay tribute to the man with a match that we know he would enjoy with not only two of Sweeney's favorite current wrestlers, but two very close friends. Colt "Boom Boom" Cabana will face the "Insane Savant" Delirious at "ROH Revolution: Canada" on May 7th when ROH returns to the Ted Reeve Arena in Toronto! Delirious has not been seen in an ROH ring since August 2010 when he suffered a very serious injury at the hands of the All Night Express. One of the most distinctive competitors in the history of ROH, Delirious and his high energy style will return in Toronto after a long 9 month absence to pay tribute to one of his close friends. Colt Cabana has repeatedly said that he wants straight-up, hold-for-hold competition without having to worry about a dirty move or shady trick. Cabana was very excited after receiving the news of his Toronto contest and he is certain it will be a great match representing honor and the memory of an overwhelmingly talented man. "Larry Sweeney was a showman, an entertainer and a professional wrestler," stated Cabana. "I can't wait to dedicate this exhibition of those three things in a match versus another pro who feels the same way. I'm sure it will be an emotional match, but we all know Larry would've wanted everyone to smile, laugh and enjoy every second of the match. No doubt about it." It will undoubtedly be a fun and exciting match to honor a brother that we have all lost. "ROH Revolution: Canada" will be a roller coaster of emotions that you won't want to miss. Tickets can be purchased at ROHWrestling.com.
