What a night in the history of Ring of Honor; not only did it mark the departure of Colt Cabana for WWE, but it also marked the last (for the time being) night for several other roster members! Aries, Daniels, and Homicide all departed for TNA, while SHINGO ended his U.S. excursion to return home to Dragon Gate. Suffice it to say, the landscape of ROH would be quite different come April 29th, BUT the night of the 28th, now that was a celebration of Cabana and everything he brought to the table the last 5 years.
