Ring of Honor Television December Week 4, 2018 <div style="text-align:center;">Ring of Honor Television, December Week 4, 2018</div> <blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="44489" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div> <div style="text-align:center;">Hot on the heels of Final Battle, our final episode of ROH TV for 2018 was aired. In this episode we saw primarily things that wrapped up the 2018 year and prepared us to turn the calendar and head into the year of 2019...and the Top Prospect Tournament! The show opened with Royalty cutting a promo about how 2018 was their year and how 2019 will be no different. Before Cody can continue to spew his non-sense, The Young Bucks arrive on the scene. Nick is still on crutches, but Matt is his usual perky self. Matt said that he'd heard enough of the Royalty's election speech and that 2018 should end with Matt Jackson, and the returning Hangman Page, defeating the ROH World and ROH Television champions in the middle of the ring... In our first bout, Odinson and Hammerstone, The End, our new Six-Man Tag Champions, not only took on, but defeated War Machine in a solid opening bout between two teams that tip the scales. Post-Match, Matt Taven joined in as the The End officially ended War Machine's time with Ring of Honor... More on that in the next installment of Honor Club monthly. Backstage, Austin Aries grabs a passing by assistant and demands she ask him questions... the assistant looks confused, so Aries just begins to spew a promo at the nearby camera. He says that Ring of Honor has been nothing but disrespectful to him since his return. He says that Dalton Castle got lucky and that tonight he'll prove that by beating... just then Alex Shelley walks into the frame and says, how about me... Beat me. Shelley vs. Aries is signed for the Main Event to send 2018 off the air. Before the next bout gets underway, Cody comes out to the ring in a full suit. He says he has some business to attend to, so he regrets to inform Matt Jackson and Hangman Page that he won't be able to participate, but that Chris Sabin will happily take his place... with that Sabin and Scurll enter the ring... Back from break Chris Sabin and Marty Scurll faced off against Matt Jackson and Hangman Page. Page is returning from an injury suffered at Survival of the Fittest and looks to be a bit hesitant, this ultimately costs him as Sabin catches him off guard and hits the Cradle Shock in what wound up being the Match of the Night. Prior to the Main Event we get a promo for a debuting star....... "A New Force Is Coming to Ring of Honor... Im 2019, gale-force winds promise to destroy anyone in his path. This man is a world-class wrestler. This man has dominated the globe. In 2019, Honor over Everything... In 2019, He'll Conquer Ring of Honor." The faint sound of drums are heard as flames lightly flicker in the background of the video as the promo cuts out and we head to the ring for the main event. Our main event saw Alex Shelley defeat Austin Aries. Both men lost at Final Battle and this was a chance to end 2018 on a high note. For Shelley this meant taking advantage of the visibly distracted Aries. This match actually disappointed considering who was in it. Aries has been frustrated during his recent stint, and thus Shelley getting the win, via Border City Stretch, made the most sense...</div> </div></blockquote> ----------------------------------------------------- Thank you to the seven predictors during Final Battle... No one managed to get the pre-show match correct... and in fairness I wouldn't have either... I forgot to book the winner.... Oh well... This actually fits into the story better.

I did a bit of housekeeping to keep the game fresh, and the game threw some turns at me I didn't expect... Love it! Thanks for reading.

WCW - Saving The Legacy (2001)

Texasrangers13 replied to Togg's topic in Total Extreme Wrestling 2020 Dynasties

Was a tough choice between the modernized "old" WCW and the WWF's version of it, but I went with the WWF's version. It resonates with me. Love this diary, just read through it now and I love the realistic direction. I believe it was Kijar who said it earlier, but I'll second it, I love the classic names heading into development... two of my favorites... "Mr 630" and "The Alpha Male"... Really fun read.

Ring of Honor: Final Battle 2018 <div style="text-align:center;">Honor Club Exclusive Kickoff Match: Colt Cabana and Flip Gordon vs. The Dawgs vs. The Best Friends The Best Friends have been a bit of an afterthought in the tag division despite strong performances overseas. Flip Gordon and Colt Cabana are a makeshift team, but one with designs on ending 2018 on a high note. And of course, the always annoying Will Ferrara and Rhett Titus, The Dawgs are here as well to serve as spoilers. The bout which wrapped the Honor Club coverage up was a fun three-team bout that saw a surprising amount of athleticism displayed by 5 of the six combatants. The ending sequence was a really fun back and forth that saw Rhett Titus, throw his partner Ferrara like a lawn dart into the chest of Barreta, causing him to stumble back and knock Chuckie T off the apron. While Barreta and Ferrara were tied up in the corner post-collision, Cabana hit a running bulldog onto Titus, leaving him prone in the middle of the ring, and allowing Flip Gordon to hit a beautiful shooting star press onto Titus for the 1-2-3. Winners: Flip Gordon and Colt Cabana</div> -------------------------------------------------- <div style="text-align:center;"><img alt="RESEM56858finalbattle2016.jpg" data-src="https://www.solowrestling.com/uploads/RESEM56858finalbattle2016.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> Ring of Honor Final Battle 2018 LIVE from New York City's Hammerstein Ballroom Announcers: Ian Riccaboni and AJ Kirsch The show opens with a video montage of the 2018 year. Some of the highlights</div> <ul><li>The Briscoe Brothers capturing the tag titles for the ninth time. </li><li>Low-Ki and Jay Lethal engaging in a brutal five-match Honor Series </li><li>Odinson winning the Top Prospect Tournament </li><li>Marty Scurll's villainous reign as TV Champ </li><li>The charisma and exuberance of SoCal Uncensored 2.0 </li><li>Cody recapturing the World Title </li><li>Cody defeating all comers from around the world including Tetsuya Naito and Kenny Omega </li><li>Cody formally leaving the Bullet Club and launching Royalty, leading to Chirs Sabin turning on his long-time partner Alex Shelley </li><li>Alex Shelley getting redemption and a shot at the World Title tonight by winning Survival of the Fittest </li></ul> <div style="text-align:center;"> The video ended with an image of both Shelley and Cody standing tall, the belt dividing them and a simple voiceover. "Through all the trials and tribulations 2018 has brought, one man will stand tall tonight. One man will prove that 2018 is his year. Will it be Royalty? Or will it be the respected vet?" This. Is. Final. Battle. With that Ian Riccaboni and AJ Kirsch welcome us and we head straight to the ring for the ROH Tag Titles bout... </div> <blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="44489" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div> <div style="text-align:center;">Ring of Honor Tag Titles The Briscoe Brothers {C} vs. Low-Ki and Jay Lethal <img alt="QLxbVjg.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/QLxbVjg.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="l8MTPbW.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/l8MTPbW.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="kTDXWu3.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/kTDXWu3.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="xj4swgH.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/xj4swgH.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="JNvytgY.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/JNvytgY.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> Our first bout sees the most decorated tag team in the history of Ring of Honor taking on two long-time rivals who have recently found common ground. Prior to the bout starting we get a brief cut-away video with Lethal and Low-Ki discussing their mutual respect and how as a team they have their eyes set on the gold. The cameraman asks if they have a team name, and Low-Ki snarls, No Gimmicks Needed, we just want the belts... Well it seems he's named the team as Riccaboni immediately begins referring to them as No Gimmicks Needed. This one was hard-hitting and right from the start got the crowd popping. There was no love-lost here and all four men went at it with no regards for their bodies. We saw several near-falls including Jay Briscoe nailing the J-Driller on Lethal, only for Low-Ki to land a huge Ghetto Stomp from the top to break-up the pin... and subsequently crush both Jay's. This gave Mark Briscoe an opening, but Low-Ki slid out of a gut-wrench attempt and countered it with a Ki-Krusher 99. Rather than going for the cover though, Ki turned around and tossed Jay Briscoe out of the ring. Lethal, now up to his feet saw the prone Mark Briscoe slowly getting to his knees and nailed a flying knee to the back of his skull... he rolled Mark over and Low-Ki piled on top of Jay Lethal as the former rivals became the new Ring of Honor Tag Team Champions. For Jay Lethal thus completing the Grand Slam of Ring of Honor titles. Winners, And NEW Ring of Honor World Tag Team Champions: No Gimmicks Needed, Jay Lethal and Low-Ki Post-Match, The Briscoe Brothers slid into the ring, but there was no nefarious meaning to it, they offered their hands and abided by the Code of Honor. Streamers rained down as the show was off to an incredible start.</div> </div></blockquote> <blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="44489" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div> <div style="text-align:center;">Ring of Honor Television Title Marty Scurll {C} vs. Will Ospreay <img alt="NXdcx8x.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/NXdcx8x.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="kTDXWu3.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/kTDXWu3.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="OkoebUA.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/OkoebUA.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> Royalty's resident Villain doing battle with long-time rival, and the runner-up at Survival of the Fittest, Will Ospreay was another banger of a match to start the show. These two rivals have done battle for the TV title before, with both men claiming victories and holding the title at various points. This bout may have been their best encounter yet. The already hot crowd was in for another treat as both Scurll and Ospreay delivered. This one went nearly ten minutes before we even saw the first pinfall attempt. Scurll and Ospreay also surprised the crowd with a technical bout for the first-half before Ospreay began to take flight and use his speed to his advantage. Scurll though sought to counter the speed advantage by keeping Ospreay grounded and going for the knees at all opportunities. In the end he was able to clip Ospreay's wings and lock him into the Crossface Chicken-Wing for the submission victory and successful title defense. Winner and STILL Ring of Honor Television Champ: "The Villain" Marty Scurll</div> </div></blockquote> <blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="44489" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div> <div style="text-align:center;">Backstage we see Matt and Nick Jackson, Matt mentions that tonight was originally scheduled to be a tag bout, but Nick has been taken out of commission and will be out of action for at least a month.

Dashwood and Neidhart increased the profile of the title, and had a great bout at Global Wars. This rematch underwhelmed a bit, but it set the foundation for the potential growth of the division in 2019. During the bout Ian Riccaboni mentioned that Ring of Honor officials have recently been in contact with some of the best women's wrestlers in the world and that Ring of Honor expects the WoH division to continue to flourish in 2019. In the ring Nattie Neidhart defended her title, forcing Dashwood to once again submit to the Sharpshooter.

Daniels, Kazarian and Romero certainly held the experience edge with a combined 66 years of in-ring experience. In fact all three men were wrestling for ten plus years before Matt Taven started and Daniels had two years of experience before Odinson was even born... Despite this experience gap, Odinson and Hammerstone's strength was apparent from the start as they bullied Kazarian and Daniels around the ring. This forced SCU 2.0 to regroup and rethink their attack. Logically they got dirty, but Matt Taven seemed game and quickly this match devolved into a six-man all-out brawl. Official Paul Turner finally reestablished control and threatened to vacate the titles if SoCal Uncensored intentionally threw the bout. Daniels tagged in and went straight after Taven, but Taven ducked, hit a drop-kick and tagged in Odinson... Odinson lifted Daniels up to his shoulders and swung him wildly, tossing him to the outside. As he passed through the air Kazarian gamely made a tag and charged at Odinson, but Odinson tossed him over his shoulder. Romero entered without being tagged and met the same fate, landing on-top of Kazarian. Odinson lifted Romero and tossed him from the ring before lifting Kazarian, tagging in Hammerstone and hitting the Doubleteam maneuver known as The End. For the 1-2-3, we have new champions and they looked absolutely dominant. Winners, and NEW Ring of Honor World Six-Man Tag Champions: The End and Matt Taven As Taven and The End proudly celebrated in the ring, SoCal Uncensored 2.0 looked on, both confused and dismayed. Cameras captured Daniels asking Romero what happened and Kazarian just blankly staring into the void. Daniels says "I hate this town, let's go home" as SoCal Uncensored 2.0 walked behind the curtains.</div> </div></blockquote> <blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="44489" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div> <div style="text-align:center;">Chris Sabin vs. Matt Jackson <img alt="odACYrQ.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/odACYrQ.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="kTDXWu3.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/kTDXWu3.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="NEHdvLg.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/NEHdvLg.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> Our first non-title bout of the night saw two of the most popular wrestlers in Ring of Honor going one on one without any of their cohorts at ringside. This allowed both mens true talents to shine through, and while both are better known as Tag specialists these men put on quite the show in this singles bout, combining incredible aerial maneuvers with skilled chain wrestling to impress even the smarks. Kirsch on commentary kept wondering if the Royalty mystery man would make his mark, but true to the roots of Ring of Honor, this was a clean bout with great in-ring action. The finish saw Matt Jackson land a super kick to knock down Sabin, then climb to the top-rope and hit a massive corkscrew moonsault for the victory.

Kenny King took exception to what he felt was White's arrogance and entitlement and also set out to prove to Ring of Honor officials that the King's Back. This was honestly more of a filler than anything. We had some plans for to move forward, but prior to show learned some of those pieces were leaving... oh well. In the end this ended up being a showcase for the Full-Timer as King hit the Royal Flush and got the win over Switchblade. Winner: Kenny King Post-Match, "Filthy" Tom Lawlor ran down and jumped "Switchblade", he appeared to be aligning with Kenny King, but then laid him out as well. He grabbed a microphone and announced that he was leaving Ring of Honor to return to the Octagon officially. (Bookers Note: Original plan was for Lawlor and King to team-up and form a version of Team Filthy on ROH TV... but prior to the show I got a notice that Lawlor was leaving the company... so I wrote him out this way...Oops.)</div> </div></blockquote> <blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="44489" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div> <div style="text-align:center;">Austin Aries vs. Dalton Castle <img alt="p5yRVXd.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/p5yRVXd.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="kTDXWu3.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/kTDXWu3.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="DJeshS8.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/DJeshS8.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> The Greatest That Ever Lived vs. The Worst Champion in ROH History, at least that's how Aries titled this bout. That seemed to piss Castle off, as he went right after Aries and actually blooded him early in this bout. Aries seemed caught off guard by this version of Castle and started to walk out, only for The Boys to chase him back to the ring. Back in the ring Aries managed to regain some composure and took over for a good portion of the bout. Aries berated the fans for supporting someone like Castle, and arrogantly made a pinfall after a brainbuster but Castle kicked out at 2.75. Castle gathered momentum and swung the match in his favor, ultimately hitting the Bang-A-Rang for the semi-upset over Aries. Winner: Dalton Castle After the match Castle taunted Aries and told him he WAS "The Greatest That Ever Lived" past-tense but that his career was soon to be over. Aries was lived and demanded retribution but Castle told him he had bigger and better things to do "Come On, Let's Party" Castle yelled as he and The Boys walked out, leaving Aries furious in the ring.</div> </div></blockquote> <blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="44489" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div> <div style="text-align:center;">The Horror Kings vs. War Machine <img alt="CQvreaf.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/CQvreaf.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="IJqAdoA.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/IJqAdoA.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="kTDXWu3.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/kTDXWu3.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="TPXMrhF.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/TPXMrhF.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="P5BbpIx.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/P5BbpIx.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> Hanson and Rowe made their way down first...

The lights went out and when they returned Vinny Marseglia and Damien "Pushiment" Martinez stood in the ring holding some of the balloons. Rowe and Hanson charged but Marseglia and Martinez were ready and the bout was underway. The announcers did their best to push why Marseglia and Martinez made sense as a team, and early on they showed surprising chemistry. Hanson and Rowe though held the advantage in experience and it showed as they managed to get the upper-hand for much of the match. Suddenly the tide turned when the screen lit up red and the words "HORROR KINGS" effectively bled through, causing a bit of confusion and allowing Damien Martinez to take flight. The big-man soaring through the air took Hanson and Rowe by surprise and swung the momentum to the Horror Kings side, and ultimately gave them the upset victory when Martinez hit the Straight to Hell Chokeslam on Rowe and made the cover. Winners: Horror Kings, Damien "Punishment" Martinez and Vinny Marseglia Post-Match: Marseglia and Martinez looked to continue the assault but Hanson and Rowe got the upper-hand, tossing them into retreat. Hanson and Rowe stood together in the ring and bowed to the crowd, thanking them for their support. The fans, especially those who follow the Dirt Sheets, chanted "Thank You War Machine" as Hanson and Rowe left the ring.</div> </div></blockquote> <blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="44489" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div> <div style="text-align:center;">Prior to our Main Event we got a phenomenal video package on the foundation and the success of Royalty. The video highlighted Cody's climb to the top, his constant success, and his conniving ways. It ended with a beautiful shot of Cody completing the Moonsault from the top of the cage onto Kenny Omega to win the Survival of the Fittest cage match...

Cruise: Introducing first, fighting out of Detroit, Michigan. Standing 5 feet 11 inches tall... He is the Survivor, our challenger, "The Motor City Machine Gun" ALEX SHELLEY Shelley enters to a huge pop and streamers. "Wrestling's True Royal Family" Cruise: His opponent, he is the Ring of Honor World Champion. Being accompanied to the ring by his wife Brandi Rhodes, and his associates, the Ring of Honor Television Champion, Marty Scurll, and the "Motor City Madman" Chris Sabin, he stands six feet, two inches tall and weighs in tonight at 216 pounds... This is ROYALTY... This is CODY! Cody and Royalty enter to a smattering of boos and cheers. The fans clearly respect him, but don't particularly like him. With the formal introductions out of the way this bout gets underway. Cody and Shelley tie-up to begin with Cody stepping on the backside of the knee and forcing Shelley to "bow" before him. Shelley is quickly back to his feet and begins to strike Cody, forcing him back into the corner. With him in the corner Chris Sabin hops onto the apron, but Shelley spits into his face, sending him off the apron. Brandi and Marty rush over to calm Sabin, and clean his face... as this is happening, Will Ospreay and Matt Jackson head down the aisle to keep the score even at ringside. Meanwhile back in the ring, Shelley is taking it to the champion, keeping him off his feet and grounded him with a variety of kicks and punches. Shelley goes for broke and rushes at Cody, but misses with a running knee. Cody takes advantage hitting a bulldog and working his way back to his feet. Riccaboni comments that Cody looks a bit out of sorts and Shelley clearly had him scouted well and thus Cody is needing to think on the fly... with that Cody snaps off a picture perfect Final Cut suplex. Lifted from the pages of Goldust. Shelley is down and Cody tosses him into the corner, he drapes his legs over the ropes....... Is he setting him up for the SHATTERED DREAMS!?! He backs away and Will Ospreay gamely throws Shelley's leg down... this prompts Scurll to run after him, but he's cut off by Matt Jackson, Chris Sabin comes into the picture and there is now mayhem at ringside. Cody orders that the referee throw everyone, including his partners out... but this is merely a distraction, as Cody sets Shelley up again and Brandi slides into the ring... SHATTERED DREAMS! Brandi Rhodes just nailed the Shattered Dreams on Alex Shelley... She slides out and heads up the ramp with the other members of Royalty as the ref seems to have control of the bout again. Shelley is now a rag-doll in the middle of the ring and Cody climbs the ropes... he goes for a top rope "Bionic" Elbow... but Shelley moves in the nick of time. Both men are down and fighting to get back to their fight... on their knees Shelley and Cody begin exchanging punches... Shelley is back up first and he hits a dropkick to floor Cody, who rolls out of the ring... High-risk, Shelley goes flying over the top and catches Cody, but now both men are out. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 This can't be it, neither man is to his feet but both are stirring... 8 9 Referee Paul Turner suddenly just stops counting... to massive applause... and allows both men to regain their feet and get back into the ring... Riccaboni comments that Turner has great feel and there is no way 2018 is ending in a double count-out. Back in the Ring, Shelley has Cody locked up and goes for the Shell Shock...but Cody counters it into his similar, Cross Rhodes... He nails it... and climbs on top of Shelley... 1 2 3 The bell rings, Cody has retained. Alex Shelley gave it everything he had, and it wasn't enough... Cody is still the champion. Brandi, Marty Scurll, and Chris Sabin return to the ring as officials help Alex Shelley to the back. Royalty celebrates in the ring together as we go off the air. Winner AND STILL Ring of Honor World Champion: CODY</div> </div></blockquote> -------------------------------------------------------------

Final Battle 2018 Preview Ring of Honor Final Battle 2018 Preview If anyone is still around from March this is the conclusion of the Year-Long Prediction Contest. If not, and this receives some level (say five or more) of participation I have a creative prize in mind involving the future of the roster... With that said, I'm simplifying this a bit (maybe less graphics, potentially graphics only for the major PPVs... who knows, just enjoying telling the story more than anything and with my time more limited I don't want to be hindered by some of the more fun elements... yes, I totally acknowledge this may cause a loss of interest... but if five months didn't kill interest then... hey). I've just rolled into January 2019 in game and have the Top Prospect Tournament up next... The game also dealt me a couple surprises and I dealt myself a couple as well to keep the game-world fresh... :-)

ROH TV Week 2 and Week 3, December 2018 ***Well well well... I'm not leaving this story unfinished... after all the season finale is Final Battle and I was booked up to it anyhow. Tonight I'll post the final two shows leading into Final Battle. In the next week, I'll have a recap/preview post up for Final Battle. I'm sure things have changed in the last five months, but hey, this is all about fun and story-telling. These two recaps are no frills, no graphics. I'll potentially clean them up tomorrow when I post the preview for Final Battle*** <blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="44489" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div> <div style="text-align:center;">ROH TV Week 2, December 2018</div> The show kicks off with a pre-taped promo from Royalty announcing the injury to the enforcer, Davey Boy Smith Jr.; Cody says this was a blow, but at Final Battle he has a trick up his sleeve and the bout between Chris Sabin and a partner against the Young Bucks is still on. In-ring, "Switchblade" Jay White took down the human wrecking ball Shane Taylor. Taylor hasn't found his footing, and Jay White has struggled to connect in America but NJPW fans recognize him as the reigning IWGP Junior Heavyweight Champion. Nice showcase for him here. As the match ended Kenny King came out and continued to pester White. White heard enough and bolted after King, unable to catch-up with him as King fled through the crowd, White formally told King that he will bleed him out at Final Battle. In Women's tag action Nattie Neidhart and Madison Rayne defeated Tenille Dashwood and Kelly Klein. Tenille walked out on Klein allowing Neidhart to make her tap in the middle of the ring. Neidhart, the Women of Honor champion, told Dashwood that real champions never back down from a fight, and at Final Battle, Dashwood will learn that a fighting champion always comes out on top. More tag action as War Machine easily annihilated The Dawgs. As the bell rang red balloons with the words "Horror Kings" fell from the ceiling slowly. Rowe and Hanson batted them aside as we went to break. Mid-break we cut back to the backstage area where Alex Shelley is being jumped by a lean, slender figure wearing a leather jacket. We can't see his face but you can tell he has short, potentially close-cropped hair... he flees the scene as Will Ospreay and The Young Bucks show up. Is this Royalty's newest member?!? Will Shelley be 100% for Final Battle?! In the main event, Odinson and Hammerstone (The End) take home a potentially shocking victory defeating Kazarian and Daniels cleanly in the middle of the ring. At Final Battle, Matt Taven and The End will take on SoCal Uncensored 2.0 with those belts on the line! </div></blockquote> ------------------------------------------------------------ <blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="44489" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div> <div style="text-align:center;">ROH TV Week 3, December 2018</div> Mere days away from Final Battle we are back live! The show opens with the Tag Champs, The Briscoe Brothers backstage. As Jay and Mark chat, Cody, Marty Scurll and Chris Sabin walk in... Cody says he knows that they haven't exactly seen eye to eye but tonight they have mutual enemies. The announce team hypes an explosive eight-man tag main event between The Briscoes, Marty Scurll, and Chris Sabin taking on The Young Bucks, Jay Lethal and Low-Ki. In the opening bout Kenny King took down Shaheem Ali in a quick contest. King is prancing about the ring celebrating when Jay White slides in from behind and hits the Switchblade leaving King out-cold in the middle of the ring. Backstage, War Machine cut a promo demanding to know who it is playing these tricks on them with the red balloons. They say they aren't afraid of "IT", they aren't afraid of monsters under their bed... so whoever these cowards are better step-out at Final Battle because War Machine has a bone to pick. Austin Aries made a surprise return last month during the Honor Rumble and tonight he was seen in his first singles bout (he faced The Boys in a handicapped match a few weeks back). Taking on Leon St. Giovanni, Austin Aries made quick work of the young LSG. Post-match, Aries immediately took to harassing Dalton Castle saying that at this time last year Castle was winning the World Title whereas this year he's merely fighting to be on the card. Aries says at Final Battle, he'll gladly make Castle a main attraction once again... but this time it'll be for all the wrong reasons... In the main event, Marty Scurll, Chris Sabin and The Briscoes went to a double count-out with The Young Bucks, Low-Ki and Jay Lethal, but not before all eight men hit some signature spots and got the fans electric. In the end it was an all-out brawl that left the ring and forced the official to call for the bell. Cody joined in making it a five on four but only for a few moments as Alex Shelley ran down to even the score... it appears the new member from last week didn't make it here tonight...will he show at Final Battle!?... These teams didn't stop brawling as Ian Riccaboni sent us off the air with a classic WCW call of "Tapes are rolling we'll see you at Final Battle 2018" </div></blockquote>

ROHWrestling.com Exclusive: Injury Leaves Royalty Shorthanded <div style="text-align:center;">ROHWrestling.com Exclusive: Injury Leaves Royalty Short-Handed</div> Mere days after wrapping our last television taping, Davey Boy Smith Jr, was back in New Japan Pro Wrestling representing Royalty and facing off with Tanga Roa in a non-televised bout. Unfortunately during this bout Smith Jr sustained a serious leg injury and will be out for the next 6-8 months. Ring of Honor officials wish Smith Jr the speediest and healthiest recovery possible... Our own correspondent caught up with Cody en route to the next ROH Television event. Cody said that Royalty is a world brand and Davey Boy was in the ring representing the brand with pride. He points out that Davey Boy still won the match. He says Royalty will continue to conquer the globe, and that this is only a small blip in the bigger picture. He says the loss of the Enforcer of Royalty is painful, but that it doesn't change anything. Royalty are still the Kings of Ring of Honor and at Final Battle, you will see that Royalty can adapt on the fly... The Young Bucks were anticipating facing Chris Sabin and Davey Boy Smith Jr... well they can still anticipate facing Sabin, but Sabin's partner... well... he will remain a mystery until the second he comes down that aisle.

Our hosts, Ian Riccaboni and AJ Kirsch, join us on the screen and announce that tonight we'll have a group of matches, highlights and exclusives from around the world... With that we kick it out to the first match. In our opening bout, Will Ferrara shocked the world and defeated Colt Cabana. Cabana's return to ROH at the Honor Rumble was a fun surprise, but he was unceremoniously dumped from the match by Will Ferrara. After the match, Cabana told Ferrara that he was calling out "The Dawgs" for our Honor Club Main Event, and he had just the partner in mind... Our first Women of Honor exclusive bout saw Madison Rayne defeat Deonna Purrazzo. She won with the Big Boot to the face, and showed us why, despite taking the loss at Survival of the Fittest, she'll be a competitor worth keeping an eye on. Riccaboni and Kirsch walked us through some highlights from the Survival of the Fittest next. The highlighted the following... <ul><li>Raymond Rowe scoring his first victory with an explosive reversal on Will Ospreay </li><li>Jay Lethal and Jay Briscoe going to a draw and a Skull-Crunching collision; Kirsch made sure to point out that these two, along with their respective partners would be doing battle at Final Battle next month </li><li>Low-Ki defeating Christopher Daniels, which set-up The End vs. SoCal Uncensored 2.0 for Final Battle </li></ul> Kirsch and Riccaboni reminded us to stick around as later tonight they'd recap the Steel Cage Warfare bout. Up next we saw the "Clap" make its way back into the ROH ring as "Brutal" Bob Evans scored a rare victory over "Wild Horse" TK O'Ryan. Bob is a mentor to a lot of these younger guys, and his dark charisma is entertaining us. He'll likely be a frequent fixture on these Honor Club exclusives. TK O'Ryan on the other hand has had a rough 2018. After winning the 6-man tag titles in 2017 with The Kingdom, O'Ryan missed a significant amount of time with a severe leg injury. He returned in late 2017 and really never found his footing in 2018. After The Kingdom was forced to disband we've seen TK O'Ryan loosely affiliated with Caprice Coleman and Shane Taylor, but they weren't seen with him here. In a fun, comedy bout, Cheeseburger defeated Ultimo Maya. Maya is a lucha-influenced high flyer with a good look, but ultimately ROH Dojo Assistant Trainer, Cheeseburger got the win here! They then ran us through the ratings from the pay-per-view: <ul><li>Raymond Rowe defeated Will Ospreay © </li><li>Low-Ki defeated Christopher Daniels (D+) </li><li>Alex Shelley defeated Dalton Castle (D+) </li><li>Jay Lethal drew Jay Briscoe (B-) </li><li>Tenille Dashwood defeated Madison Rayne (D+) </li><li>Alex Shelley defeated Will Ospreay © </li><li>Steel Cage Warfare (C+) </li></ul> Overall: C+ In our next exclusive bout Royalty's Chris Sabin and Davey Boy Smith Jr absolutely annihilated two "Future of Honor" competitors in "Iron" Shane Mercer and Kriss Stark. Mercer and Stark are both potential 2019 Top Prospect Tournament contenders, but neither got much in during this one. The announcers used this to hype the strength of Royalty. Up next, we saw an Honor Club exclusive highlight package featuring "Best Friends" Beretta and Chuckie T and highlighting some of their victories during the recent NJPW Lightning Tour and NJPW Power Struggle. It started with Power Struggle where despite their best efforts they couldn't defeat the ROH Tag Champion Briscoe Brothers! As it transitioned we found out that recently the Best Friends have teamed with David Finlay Jr to form "Bestest Friends" and during the tour they captured the NEVER Openweight Six-Man Tag Titles! As part of our partnership with NJPW, we were able to air the victory. In this bout Beretta, Taylor and Finley defeated Taichi and Roppongi 3K to capture the NEVER Openweight Six-Man titles. It was a fun, comedy, filled back and forth bout and it showcased some of the skills that Beretta and Chuckie T haven't been able to showcase here in ROH. In our Honor Club Exclusive Main Event we saw Colt Cabana exact his revenge on The Dawgs, by teaming with Flip Gordon. Flip got the pin for the team, defeating Rhett Titus. This small feud appears to be just beginning and it's a nice way for us to integrate some of our forgotten talent! The final segment featured a recap of the Steel Cage Warfare bout. Cody and Omega's ended sequence was highlighted, as were the insane high-spots that were featured throughout the bout. Kirsch and Riccaboni sign off, reminding us that we are only one month away from Final Battle!</div> </div></blockquote> --------------------------------------------------------------------------- As I've mentioned, I've been tinkering with the Honor Club concept. The bouts here are all from the pre-shows during the November TV tapings and Survival of the Fittest PPV. I think it's a good way to utilize the bottom rung of the card and have some small storylines (likely Women and things like The Dawgs/Cabana). I am also using it to test out tag pairings and future stars... I've mixed in the PPV match ratings (previously in the body of the PPV post), and some commentary. As well as every month I'll add a match or two or update from one of our partners. This month it was The Best Friends in NJPW. It's a bit of a throw-away post, but it can be used to highlight a lot of things. I'm planning on doing one prior to each PPV as a preview show (it'll include some Pre-Show or Honor Club Exclusive bouts) and a one after each PPV as a post-PPV show. It's inspired by the old-school WCW Worldwide or WWE Jakked/Metal shows. In the future I can update anyone on guys from around the globe, or companies from around the globe. Let me know if you think this has value. Lastly, I found the intro video today while on r/ squaredcircle. It was created by a gentleman named Robbie Green, the full size clip is here: <div class="ipsEmbeddedVideo"><div><iframe width="200" height="113" src="https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/7gfZosrGWQQ?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="" title="Ring Of Honor | Broadcast Opener Concept"></iframe></div></div>

Ring of Honor Presents: Survival of the Fittest Ring of Honor: Survival of the Fittest Pay-Per-View Announcers: Ian Riccaboni and AJ Kirsch ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Post-Show Notes: I debated a number of different solutions for the fourth member of Royalty, and took Davey Boy when I noticed he was without a partner in NJPW. Suzuki-Gun has basically died over there as Minoru retired, and they didn't resign Taka. Lance Archer/Hoyt is out for the year with an injury so then I saw Davey Boy as a logical fit for this wrestling "Royalty" group.......yes I'm aware he and Nattie are cousins, that may or may not play in as I develop this. ZSJ was another guy I debated... and I still might add him to ROH at some point, maybe even as part of the group... who knows... Hangman Page suffered a Torn LCL during the bout... he's out for a bit. Which actually works well since the Young Bucks will now be able to run on their own. We are over a month away from Final Battle and we already know four title bouts. Cody vs. Shelley, Low-Ki/Lethal vs. Briscoes, Nattie vs. Tenille and The End/Taven vs. SoCal Uncensored 2.0... I'm happy about that. We also can infer Aries vs. Castle... Definitely cool with longer-term build-ups to the end of the year show! Ryback was an interesting choice, one I hadn't thought of, and frankly CobheadJake nailed it, doesn't fit the ethos of ROH in my mind. Darren Young (AKA Fred Sampson) has been cruising the Indies and putting up decent ratings... but at 39 he didn't fit the group well enough for me. I've always liked Magnus/Aldis and he'd actually be a realistic choice for the enforcer type role. My fear with Sandow is that he becomes the focal point/main talker of the group (although now that I say that, it worked for Scott Hall as a support guy)... hmm. He is currently with Rival Lucha Underground, damn... Hero made the main roster! He's an opener, but he's on the main show!

ROH Television, Survival of the Fittest Night 1 and 2, November Week 2 and 3, 2018 <blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="44489" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div><div style="text-align:center;">ROH TV, November Week 2, 2018</div> <div style="text-align:center;">Survival of the Fittest Night One <img alt="Xc6XxSY.png" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/Xc6XxSY.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> Our first night of the Survival of the Fittest got started right away with the first bout from the B Pool, Alex Shelley vs. Low-Ki. In a technical bout that went back and forth Alex Shelley scored the victory and the critical first two points. We then got a promo with Royalty discussing Steel Cage Warfare and what the four-on-four elimination bout will prove to the world. Wrestling's Royal "Family" will prove that they are the best in the world and that the Bullet Club will never be the Best In The World. In our second bout of the Survival of the Fittest we saw our first bout from the A Pool, Jay Lethal vs. Will Ospreay. Two of the best bets in the business went toe to toe and in the end it was Will Ospreay hitting the Os-Cutter and coming out on top with the victory. Backstage, The Young Bucks promise that the Bullet Club is fine and that Steel Cage Warfare will prove that the Bullet Club is better without traitors and that The Elite are exactly that... Elite. In a tag bout, Frankie Kazarian and Rocky Romero defeated The End (Hammerstone and Odinson). This bout was set-up based on the Honor Rumble, and post-match, knowing that Daniels was busy preparing for his match in the Survival of the Fittest, Matt Taven, Odinson and Hammerstone got some revenge and laid out the victors. Taven screamed that the 6-man belt would soon be The End's and that this was just the beginning of a painful demise. In our second bout of Pool A, Jay Briscoe defeated Raymond Rowe in a violent, hard-hitting encounter that proved to be the match of the night. Rowe had a near pinfall and really showed that he can go as a singles guy if need be, but it was Jay Briscoe with his hand raised post-match. Austin Aries made an appearance before the Main Event, he went on a rant saying that he debuted in Ring of Honor in 2004, and is a two-time Ring of Honor World Champion, but Cary Silkin didn't seem to think that was good enough to be the "Wild Card"... With that he joined the commentators for our Main Event, In the main event, and second Pool B bout, we had a utter disaster of a bout between Dalton Castle and Christopher Daniels. This match just didn't work. Daniels is on extreme time decline and showed here. Dalton Castle got the win with the Bang-A-Rang, but the overall match left a sour taste in everyones mouth. The show went off the air with Aries getting in the face of Castle, but ultimately backing down and walking away as the cameras faded out.</div></div></blockquote> --------------------------------------------------------------------------- <blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="44489" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div><div style="text-align:center;">ROH TV, November Week 3, 2018</div> <div style="text-align:center;">Survival of the Fittest Night Two <img alt="0UoQ0WN.png" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/0UoQ0WN.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> Night two of the Survival of the Fittest kicked off with Pool B and Dalton Castle (Two Points) facing Low-Ki (Zero Points). Same as last week, Austin Aries came down and joined commentary, keeping a close eye on Dalton Castle and saying that he has been facing the has-beens of Ring of Honor. Riccaboni tries to point out that Daniels and Low-Ki were both in Ring of Honor when Aries debuted, but Aries smugly rejects everything Riccaboni says. The match in the ring looked to be going Low-Ki's way, but then Mark Briscoe made his way down to the ring and got in Low-Ki's face on the ring apron. Last month Low-Ki qualified for the Survival of the Fittest by beating Mark Briscoe and this clearly didn't settle well with Mark. The distraction allowed Castle to take advantage and steal a win and put himself in the drivers seat. It also eliminated Low-Ki from the tournament, though he'll still have a night three bout on deck. Post-match, Low-Ki tries to chase Mark Briscoe to the back, but he is stopped by Jay Lethal who tells him that they will take care of things professionally and not to stoop to that level... Low-Ki seems to be ok with that answer. Cody, Marty Scurll and Brandi Rhodes are seen, Brandi stands guard over their titles while Marty and Cody tell the camera that Chris Sabin is out tying up some loose ends and that the reinforcement has arrived. In the second Pool B bout Alex Shelley (2 Points) carried Christopher Daniels (0 Points) through the bout and scored the two points. At the Survival of the Fittest Pay-Per-View the third match in the pool between Alex Shelley and Dalton Castle will have direct implications in who will be in the finals later that night as they both have 4 points! Post-match, Matt Taven comes out and tells Christopher Daniels that The End is here and the end of his career will come at their hands. He practically begs for a title-shot for he and his crew but Daniels tells him SoCal Uncensored 2.0 still runs the show and they don't respect The End. Daniels tells Taven that he's been disappointed in his performance here and frankly it has made him question how much he has left...so... if he can't score the victory over Low-Ki at Survival of the Fittest, and earn a mere two points, he'll grant The End their wish... But if he does win, then no title shot for them... Riccaboni adds that he's been told that if Low-Ki wins, ROH's competition committee will grant he and Jay Lethal a future Tag Title shot at The Briscoes. In the first Pool A bout of the night Jay Lethal (0 Points) faced Raymond Rowe (0 Points). Rowe once again proved he could hang with the best in the singles division, but again he fell just short against a former ROH World Champion. Lethal took him down with the Lethal Injection and scored the two points. Backstage we lay eyes on Madison Rayne stretching and doing her thing when suddenly Tenille Dashwood attacks her and beats her down. Dashwood tells Rayne, "This is all about ME! This is MY show, and this is my Women's Revolution... Not Yours"... In tag action The Young Bucks defeated Coast 2 Coast in a fun story-telling bout. As the match ended Chris Sabin walked down the aisle with Hangman Page's noose in his hand...both Bucks turned to face Sabin and of course, a hulking mid-6-foot man, wearing jeans and a jacket with a hood and mask covering his face attacked the Bucks from behind with a running lariat, Sabin slides in and he and the masked man beat down The Young Bucks as security tries to get a hold of the action in the ring. Sabin and the masked man head up the ring and are joined at the top of it by Scurll and Cody... Royalty, now four men strong, leave the scene, stronger and bigger than ever, but we still don't know who the large masked man was. In the main event, and second pool A bout, Will Ospreay (2 points) took on Jay Briscoe (2 Points). This was a bout that had a lot riding on it, with the winner putting himself in the drivers seat. In a bit of a shock finish, Will Ospreay scored the win, hitting the Os-Cutter on Jay Briscoe.</div></div></blockquote> --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- <blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="44489" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div><div style="text-align:center;">Survival of the Fittest Night Three Pay-Per-View Preview</div> The Survival of the Fittest concludes with the final four pool matches, followed by the Survival of the Fittest finals which we crown the winner of the Survival of the Fittest and grant the winner a shot at the ROH World Champion Cody at Final Battle. The pool round concludes with the final four bouts. In Pool A, Raymond Rowe (0 points) will look to score his first victory as he takes on Will Ospreay (4 Points). Ospreay merely needs a draw to guarantee his spot in the finals. Rowe is formally eliminated but he'll look to build on two solid appearances and play spoiler. Pool A will also see Jay Lethal (2 Points) taking on Jay Briscoe (2 Points). Both men fell victim to Will Ospreay and now will be forced into cheering for Raymond Rowe in the hopes that he can stop Ospreay and give the winner of Lethal/Briscoe a spot in the finals. ROH Officials would like to remind you that in the event of multiple competitors finishing with the same amount of points, both competitors will advance to the finals, so it is conceivable that we could see a triple threat or fatal-four-way final! In Pool B, Low-Ki (0 Points) and Christopher Daniels (0 Points) battle for pride as neither has scored a victory in the first two nights of the battle. Christopher Daniels, ever the master manipulator, has promised The End that if he doesn't win he'll grant them a shot at he and SoCal Uncensored's 6-man titles. But if he does win, then The End won't get a shot, meanwhile, Low-Ki has his own issues to worry about as Mark Briscoe cost him his last bout and will certainly be on the mind of Low-Ki during this one. Especially since with a win, Low-Ki and Lethal will get a shot at the Briscoes belts. In the other bout Alex Shelley (4 points) will take on Dalton Castle (4 points) with the winner guaranteed to fight again tonight in the finals of the Survival of the Fittest. After her assault on Madison Rayne, Tenille Dashwood will take her on in a Women of Honor bout that is bound to have ramifications towards the title race. In fact, Nattie Neidhart has said that the winner will be the #1 Contender to her title and that she'll actively be paying attention to this one. In our main event, Kenny Omega and Cody's blood feud boils over in the fifth ever Steel Cage Warfare in Ring of Honor history. Kenny Omega, Nick Jackson, Matt Jackson and Hangman Page, colloquially known as The Bullet Club will do battle with the Ring of Honor World Champion, Cody, and his band of villainous characters, Marty Scurll, Chris Sabin and the newest member, who will certainly be revealed at the pay-per-view. As Cody is the Ring of Honor World Champion his team will be the first with the advantage. We can now confirm that Cody has nominated Chris Sabin to start the bout, he will step into the ring against Hangman Page for the first five minutes, and this is bound to get physical quickly. As a reminder here is the entrance sequence, with Team A: Royalty holding the initial advantage. First Five Minutes: Royalty's First Entrant, Chris Sabin vs. Bullet Club's First Entrant, Hangman Page Next Two Minutes: Team A1, A2 vs. Team B1 Next Two Minutes: Team A1, A2 vs. Team B1, B2 Next Two Minutes: Team A1, A2 vs. Team B1, B2, B3 Next Two Minutes: Team A1, A2, A3 vs. Team B1, B2, B3 Next Two Minutes: Team A1, A2, A3, A4 vs. Team B1, B2, B3 Next Two Minutes: All Competitors Eligible However at anytime during this match if a competitor is pinned or submits he'll be eliminated from the bout and therefore negate any potential advantages or exacerbate any disadvantages.</div></blockquote> ----------------------------------------------------------- <blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="44489" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div>Prediction Contest (Session Four, After Round Two) Realizing I forgot to update post Honor Rumble, so that's wrapped into this as well...

I went with Cabana because his annoying theme was stuck in my head and I wanted someone for Ferrara and Titus to have a small story with... Austin Aries has always been a favorite and I thought about making him the fourth member of Royalty before deciding instead to go this direction. The Wild Card snub is a nice storyline that I could see him getting pissed about... I hope you agree. Jimmy Jacobs was another contender for Royalty... he is a Princess afterall. Instead,... well....

Honor Club Exclusive: Pool Announcement for Survival of the Fittest <div style="text-align:center;">Honor Club Exclusive: Survival of the Fittest Announcements </div> <div style="text-align:center;"><img alt="RTGjUjf.png" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/RTGjUjf.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></div> Our first-ever Honor Club exclusive programming kicks off with Ian Riccaboni and AJ Kirsch sitting at a table in front of an array of screens. They discuss the Honor Rumble and then play a five minute highlight package. Some of the highlights shown: <ul><li>The Return of Colt Cabana </li><li>Will Ferrara avenging Rhett Titus' elimination </li><li>The End and SoCal Uncensored 2.0's back and forth eliminations </li><li>Dalton Castle landing on The Boys </li><li>The Clap with Bob Evans </li><li>Jay Lethal surviving multiple near-eliminations and making the final four </li><li>Will Ospreay leading way with the most eliminations </li><li>The Surprise Return of Austin Aries </li><li>The Final Four: Raymond Rowe, Jay Lethal, Will Ospreay and Christopher Daniels </li><li>The Winner: Christopher Daniels </li></ul> As the package wraps up Riccaboni mentions that Daniels will be with us later in the program to make the pool announcements. But first, let's send it to the ring of for an Honor Club, Future of Honor Exclusive. In our first ever Honor Club Future of Honor exclusive, The Boys (Brandon and Brent) defeated The North Star Express (Darin Corbin and Ryan Cruz). Corbin and Cruz are a tag-team out of Minnesota who have been teaming together for a number of years, while they gave a good effort they were no match for The Boys. Back in the studio Riccaboni and Kirsch were joined by Christopher Daniels. Daniels discussed winning the Honor Rumble and what it would mean for his career to capture the Ring of Honor World Title once again. Riccaboni then lays out the format for the Survival of the Fittest. There will be two pools of four. Each man in a respective pool will face the other three and the wrestler with the most points will win his pool and face the opposing pools winner in the Survival of the Fittest finals. Two points will be awarded for a victory and one point for a draw. ROH CEO Cary Silkin joins us to announce the Wild Card. He begins by saying that this man is a former Ring of Honor champion... Before he can get further, Austin Aries joins the program and thanks Silkin for welcoming him back and giving him the Wild Card spot. After all he should have qualified but it took three men teaming up to eliminate him... Daniels looks smugly at Aries. Silkin takes the microphone back and says that Aries isn't the Wild Card... The Wild Card is the man who started 2018 as the Ring of Honor World Champion, Dalton Castle! Aries is livid and storms out of the studio. Cary Silkin then instructs Daniels to pick the pools. Daniels deliberates and using a touch-screen places the competitors in their respective pools. As he finishes a graphic pops up showing the pools. Pool A <ul><li>Raymond Rowe </li><li>Jay Lethal </li><li>Jay Briscoe </li><li>Will Ospreay </li></ul> Pool B <ul><li>Christopher Daniels </li><li>Dalton Castle </li><li>Alex Shelley </li><li>Low-Ki </li></ul> Kirsch asks Daniels for his commentary on why he picked the pools the way he did. He says that he's stacked Pool A with a bunch of guys who beat the living daylights out of each other and thusly leave the winner of that pool weakened for Daniels when he captures Pool B. Daniels thanks the hosts for their time but says he has other things to attend to and leaves. As Daniels leaves they segue into discussing the Main Event at Survival of the Fittest, Steel Cage Warfare, a match-up that will be returning to Ring of Honor for the first time in five years as Cody's Royalty will take on Kenny Omega's Bullet Club in a four on four elimination brawl, inside a steel cage. The match will start with one man from each team inside in the cage. These two men will do battle for five minutes. At the end of the five minutes a member of one of the teams will be randomly selected to enter the cage, therefore giving his team a brief advantage. This advantage will last for two minutes before the next competitor, representing the opposing team will enter. This will alternate in snake format until all eight men are in the ring. First Five Minutes: Team A1 vs. Team B1 Next Two Minutes: Team A1, A2 vs. Team B1 Next Two Minutes: Team A1, A2 vs. Team B1, B2 Next Two Minutes: Team A1, A2 vs. Team B1, B2, B3 Next Two Minutes: Team A1, A2, A3 vs. Team B1, B2, B3 Next Two Minutes: Team A1, A2, A3, A4 vs. Team B1, B2, B3 Next Two Minutes: All Competitors Eligible However at anytime during this match if a competitor is pinned or submits he'll be eliminated from the bout and therefore negate any potential advantages or exacerbate any disadvantages. Riccaboni and Kirsch mention that we already know who the four members of Bullet Club are, Hangman Page, Nick Jackson, Matt Jackson and of course, Kenny Omega. But we only know three members of Royalty. ROH World Champion, Cody, ROH World Television Champion, Marty Scurll and not to be forgotten, Chris Sabin. They speculate on who the fourth member will be and say that they are sure Cody has a plan... The show wraps up with Riccaboni and Kirsch running down all eight competitors and announcing the cards for the first two nights of the televised Survival of the Fittest. They also announce these two shows will be 90 minute specials! <blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="44489" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div>Survival of the Fittest Television Night One Pool A: Raymond Rowe vs. Jay Briscoe Pool A: Will Ospreay vs. Jay Lethal Pool B: Low-Ki vs. Alex Shelley Pool B: Dalton Castle vs. Christopher Daniels Survival of the Fittest Television Night Two Pool A: Raymond Rowe vs. Jay Lethal Pool A: Will Ospreay vs. Jay Briscoe Pool B: Low-Ki vs. Dalton Castle Pool B: Alex Shelley vs. Christopher Daniels</div></blockquote>

Ring of Honor: Where Superstars Are Born (RW 2018+)

Texasrangers13 replied to Texasrangers13's topic in Total Extreme Wrestling 2016 Dynasties

ROH TV, November 2018, Week 1: Special Edition (Honor Rumble) <div style="text-align:center;">ROH TV, November 2018, Week 1</div> <blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="44489" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div><div style="text-align:center;">We open the month of November with a Special Edition of Ring of Honor television. On tonight's episode the 30-man Honor Rumble returns and the final four men standing with punch their tickets to the Survival of the Fittest with the overall winner naming the two pools they'll compete in. As the announcers begin to run down the Honor Rumble and lay out the evenings plans, Royalty, led by Cody, make their way down to the ring. Cody has a message for Kenny Omega and the Bullet Club. First and foremost, Kenny Omega WILL NOT be getting a Ring of Honor World Championship opportunity. He's already had one, and as a non-permanent member of the roster, that's all he's entitled to. However, Cody and his Royalty mates will take on the Bullet Club at Survival of the Fittest. But this won't be just a normal fight. It'll be the fifth ever edition of Steel Cage Warfare. The first since 2013, and it'll be Four on Four. Cody drops the mic and the group walks out. Ian Riccaboni squeals with glee and quickly points out this must mean there is a fourth, wrestling, member of Royalty and we haven't met him yet! He confirms that main event at Survival of the Fittest will be the fifth ever edition of Steel Cage Warfare, Royalty vs. Bullet Club. Backstage we see Women of Honor champion Nattie Neidhart, she says she's promised to revamp the Women of Honor division and she's continuing by bringing in another Women who has made an impact all over the globe, Madison Rayne! Suddenly, Tenille Dashwood enters the screen and reminds Neidhart that this is "All About Me" ... She says that her loss at Global Wars was a minor setback, but by the end of the year she'll reign supreme. Back from commercial Dashwood is making her entrance for a Women of Honor bout with Mandy Leon. Dashwood makes relatively short work of Leon, forcing her to tap out. With that we go to a quick video highlighting the first three qualifiers for the Survival of the Fittest, Jay Briscoe, Low-Ki and Alex Shelley! As the package wraps up we see the first three entrants to the Honor Rumble, the losers of the first three Qualifiers, Jay Lethal, Kenny King and Mark Briscoe... <div style="text-align:center;">Honor Rumble</div> With Lethal, King and Mark Briscoe in the ring we await the fourth participant and the start of the bout...

For the first ninety seconds the men battle and the horn sounds as the fifth entrant, Rhett Titus, makes his way down. <img alt="0OLiXSZ.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/0OLiXSZ.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> Titus made a straight beeline for Jay Lethal, but Lethal pushed him off straight into Colt Cabana who strikes him with a Bionic Elbow, sending Titus from the ring with our first elimination. Eliminated: Rhett Titus Over the next six minutes the men in the ring were joined by entrant six, seven, eight and nine. <img alt="TKL2LiD.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/TKL2LiD.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="IcE5XZh.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/IcE5XZh.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="Nlkd3lW.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/Nlkd3lW.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="jbwxfGF.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/jbwxfGF.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> Chuck Taylor, Leon St. Giovanni, Hammerstone, TK O'Ryan respectively. Hammerstone went on a quick rally and tossed O'Ryan and St. Giovanni straight over the top. Eliminated: TK O'Ryan and Leon St. Giovanni In-Ring: Jay Lethal, Mark Briscoe, Colt Cabana, Kenny King, Chuck Taylor, Hammerstone The horn sounds and out flies #10, Will Ferrara. <img alt="wYLbOem.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/wYLbOem.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> Ferrara goes straight after Cabana and looks to immediately avenge his partner Rhett Titus's elimination. King and Lethal begin working together in an effort to eliminate Hammerstone but he is joined by Jay Briscoe and a four man brawl makes its way into the further corner. Chuck Taylor meanwhile goes to aid Colt Cabana, but Ferrara ducks and hits a dropkick sending both men into the corner... Ferrara is rolling now and comes flying toward the corner, Taylor rolls out of the way but Ferrara connects with Cabana, sending him flying from the ring... Ferrara immediately climbs the turnbuckles to celebrate and Taylor quickly dispatches of him. Eliminated: Colt Cabana and Will Ferrara The horn sounds and entering at #11 here comes Rocky Romero <img alt="tpqum4A.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/tpqum4A.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> In-Ring: Jay Lethal, Mark Briscoe, Kenny King, Chuck Taylor, Hammerstone, Rocky Romero Kenny King and Jay Lethal's alliance turn their attention to Mark Briscoe and the two-on-one is very short-lived as Hammerstone lifts Kenny King and presses him over his head. The show of strength is a sight in the middle of the ring and he tosses King over the ropes. Romero looks to take advantage but Hammerstone pushes him aside and turns to face Chuck Taylor. Taylor comes at Hammerstone but is promptly tossed from the ring as the horn once again sounds. Eliminated: Kenny King and Chuck Taylor Frankie Kazarian makes his entrance at #12 and immediately joins his partner Romero. <img alt="Cbw2583.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/Cbw2583.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> In-Ring: Jay Lethal, Mark Briscoe, Hammerstone, Rocky Romero, Frankie Kazarian With these five in the ring the battle turns into a five-man brawl for a the next five minutes, during which #13 Cheeseburger, #14 Jonathan Gresham, and #15 Odinson make their entrances. <img alt="ZXteJld.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/ZXteJld.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="sIemKyp.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/sIemKyp.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="5wIQJMM.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/5wIQJMM.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> In-Ring: Jay Lethal, Mark Briscoe, Hammerstone, Rocky Romero, Frankie Kazarian, Cheeseburger, Jonathan Gresham, and Odinson. Now with eight men in the ring we see Romero and Kazarian square off with Odinson and Hammerstone, in another segment of the ring Jay Lethal and Mark Briscoe continue their long-brawl that has been on-going since the beginning of the bout. Cheeseburger and Jonathan Gresham meanwhile pop the crowd. The horn sounds again and at #16 here comes Damien "Punishment" Martinez. <img alt="CQvreaf.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/CQvreaf.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> He immediately throws his hands around the necks of Cheeseburger and Gresham who gallantly try to fight him off but are both disposed of. Eliminated: Cheeseburger and Jonathan Gresham In-Ring: Jay Lethal, Mark Briscoe, Hammerstone, Rocky Romero, Frankie Kazarian, Odinson, Damien "Punishment" Martinez The horn sounds again and at #17 here comes the "Warbeard" Hanson. <img alt="TPXMrhF.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/TPXMrhF.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> Hanson makes a straight beeline for Martinez and the two big men exchange massive blows. Meanwhile, Mark Briscoe goes to eliminate Jay Lethal and gets him over the ropes but Lethal skins the cat and slides back under. The horn sounds again and at #18, Dalton Castle comes out. <img alt="DJeshS8.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/DJeshS8.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> With Castle in the ring he goes straight after Mark Briscoe and he and Lethal team up to make the elimination. With Briscoe on the floor he is livid and storms out. Eliminated: Mark Briscoe In-Ring: Jay Lethal, Hammerstone, Rocky Romero, Frankie Kazarian, Odinson, Damien "Punishment" Martinez, Hanson, Dalton Castle The horn sounds and at #19 Matt Taven joins his peers The End. <img alt="85QSprR.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/85QSprR.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> Now holding a three on two advantage over SoCal Uncensored's Frankie Kazarian and Rocky Romero. Jay Lethal and Dalton Castle now continued work together and they manage to eliminate Damien "Punishment" Martinez. Before Castle and Lethal's partnership can be sealed Jay Lethal does what has to be done and connects with a swift dropkick from behind sending the party peacock crashing over the top rope........ But.... Castle's Boys have been hiding and they rolled out into a formed a human "shield" to prevent Castle's feet from touching the ground... Lethal and Hanson now engage in a battle and it was definitely a favorite in this bout as both men hit some signature spots. Lethal, devoid of most of his energy is tossed from the ring but as Castle begins to climb back in, Lethal hits him and lands on the apron. Castle's boys this time can't save him as he hits the ground and dejectedly he has been eliminated. Dalton Castle has been eliminated mere minutes in. The horn sounds and at #20 Will Ospreay makes his entrance. <img alt="OkoebUA.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/OkoebUA.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> Eliminated: Damien "Punishment" Martinez and Dalton Castle In-Ring: Jay Lethal, Hammerstone, Rocky Romero, Frankie Kazarian, Odinson, Matt Taven, Hanson, Will Ospreay The next set of eliminations saw The End and SoCal Uncensored 2.0 exchange eliminations as Kazarian eliminated Odinson, but was then subsequently dispatched by Hammerstone, who in turn was booted by Rocky Romero... who in turn was eliminated by Matt Taven, this quick set of eliminations was a highlight, but Matt Taven's success was short lived as Will Ospreay got him from behind and tossed him out. Eliminations: Odinson, Kazarian, Hammerstone, Rocky Romero, Matt Taven In-Ring: Jay Lethal, Hanson, Will Ospreay With Jay Lethal, Hanson and Ospreay in the ring for the time being Ospreay and Lethal look to go after Hanson and even the size difference but before they can do battle the horn sounds and here comes #21 Bob Evans. <img alt="lcn6Vtg.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/lcn6Vtg.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> Bob Evans heads down to the ring and leads the crowd in "The Clap" and it seems to be contagious as Lethal, Hanson and Ospreay join Bob in a synchronized, comedy, clap. The horn sounds and #22 Shane Taylor heads down. <img alt="z8LEixZ.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/z8LEixZ.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> In-Ring: Jay Lethal, Hanson, Will Ospreay, Bob Evans and Shane Taylor Taylor slides in and immediately ends the clapping, striking Evans with a sickening chop across the chest. The big man, lifts the equally big man and slams him down with a power slam. Taylor gets up only to be met by Hanson who has a full head of steam and connects with a rolling Viking Kick which sends Taylor stumbling and bumbling before Will Ospreay connects pulls the ropes down and sends him over the top-rope. Brutal Bob is back to his feet but wobbling and Ospreay claps for him... Lethal and Hanson begin clapping as well and The Clap continues to spread... Eliminated: Shane Taylor In-Ring: Jay Lethal, Hanson, Will Ospreay, Bob Evans Entrant #23 sees no laughing matter in The Clap as Vinny Marseglia makes his way down and immediately goes after Jay Lethal. <img alt="IJqAdoA.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/IJqAdoA.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> Ospreay does what has to be done and eliminates Bob, politely but appropriately as Hanson rests up. #24 is on his way out and it is Flip Gordon. <img alt="VskZOFh.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/VskZOFh.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> Eliminated: Bob Evans In-Ring: Jay Lethal, Hanson, Will Ospreay, Vinny Marseglia and Flip Gordon Now with four smaller workers and Hanson in the ring the speed of the bout begins to pick-up. Ospreay continues his role and goes bouncing from corner to corner striking at will and leaving Marseglia in a daze and he tries to keep up. Flip Gordon goes after Hanson but Hanson bats him out of the sky and grounds him. Lethal takes a shot but Hanson again swats him down. The horn sounds and at #25 here is Raymond Rowe. <img alt="P5BbpIx.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/P5BbpIx.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> In-Ring: Jay Lethal, Hanson, Will Ospreay, Vinny Marseglia, Flip Gordon, Raymond Rowe War Machine is in the ring and as a unit they go for Lethal, but Flip makes the sacrifice and pushes Lethal out of the way, Lethal stumbles through the middle rope to the floor but isn't eliminated, the exhaustion of the bout and lasting for over 30 minutes so far has clearly impacted him as he appears to be out-cold on the floor. Flip's sacrifice, though noble, led to his elimination as War Machine revved up and took him out... on the other side of the ring Will Ospreay eliminated Vinny Marseglia, who didn't do much to prove his value here... Eliminated: Flip Gordon, Vinny Marseglia In-Ring: Jay Lethal, Hanson, Will Ospreay, Raymond Rowe The horn sounds and #26 Josh Woods makes his way down. <img alt="bjZ9QLL.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/bjZ9QLL.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> Woods slides in and Ospreay, for a brief moment appears to have evened up the score against War Machine, but Josh Woods immediately goes after the smaller man and tries to make the elimination... Ospreay hangs on and War Machine comes charging, sending Josh Woods from the ring as Ospreay slides back in and rolls to the other side. He's back to his feet and War Machine faces him down. Ospreay is ready to take them on but before anything happens the horn sounds and #27 Beretta heads down and joins his fellow member of CHAOS in the ring. <img alt="osDZUwf.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/osDZUwf.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> Eliminated: Josh Woods In-Ring: Jay Lethal, Hanson, Will Ospreay, Raymond Rowe, Beretta With only three more men left to make an entrance the announcers begin to think of who can be left. War Machine and Ospreay/Beretta begin a solid program in the ring and no eliminations are made as #28 "Switchblade" Jay White makes his way down... <img alt="3cvhWUO.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/3cvhWUO.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> He stops at Jay Lethal's recovering body and tosses him back into the ring. Now all six men are in the ring. War Machine and Beretta/Ospreay's battle continues and Jay White joins the fray, leaving Lethal to recover. The three on two beat-down begins to take place, but War Machine seems content to leave Ospreay and White be, and turn their attention to Beretta, as White and Ospreay begin exchanging crushing blows in the middle of the ring. Beretta is little match for War Machine as they eliminate him. The horn sounds and at #29 Christopher Daniels marches down to the ring... <img alt="IiF2KXD.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/IiF2KXD.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> Eliminated: Beretta In-Ring: Jay Lethal, Hanson, Will Ospreay, Raymond Rowe, Jay White, Christopher Daniels Daniels stops at ringside and surveys the details as White and Ospreay's brawl continues. War Machine, seeing Daniels not getting in the ring, both go through the middle rope and take Daniels out at ringside. They toss him in the ring and Jay Lethal, now back up takes him down with a Lethal Combination. 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 <iframe width="260" height="120" src="<a href="https://www.youtube.com/embed/0IN2GgT0Dz8?rel=0&controls=0&showinfo=0" rel="external nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/embed/0IN2GgT0Dz8?rel=0&controls=0&showinfo=0"</a> frameborder="0" allow="autoplay; encrypted-media" allowfullscreen></iframe> Horn Sounds and at #30... Making his return to Ring of Honor, Austin Aries comes down to a huge Welcome Back chant. <img alt="p5yRVXd.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/p5yRVXd.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> In-Ring: Jay Lethal, Hanson, Will Ospreay, Raymond Rowe, Jay White, Christopher Daniels, Austin Aries Seven men in the ring now, only four will punch their ticket to Survival of the Fittest, Jay Lethal entered first and has hung on this long. War Machine as a unit looks like an immoveable object. Will Ospreay has eliminated four guys and he and Jay White are engaged in a heated bout in the middle of the ring. Ring of Honor six-man tag champion Christopher Daniels and newly returned Austin Aries make up the final guys. As Aries enters the ring... all seven men back up to corners with Lethal and Ospreay in one, Daniels in another, White in yet another with War Machine in the final corner as Austin Aries was showered with streamers in the middle of the ring... He turns his focus to Daniels and goes right after him... Two Ring of Honor legends engaged in battle as two young stars Ospreay and White also exchange blows. War Machine meanwhile does what needs to be done and goes after Jay Lethal. Lethal musters enough energy to fight them off for a few seconds. Hanson and Rowe go for a double clothesline but Lethal manages to duck and Hanson and Rowe miss, Hanson and Rowe turn around and as they do Will Ospreay who was irish whipped by Jay White leapfrogs off Lethal's back, poetry in motion, connecting squarely with Hanson who goes stumbling over the top rope. Eliminated: Hanson In-Ring: Jay Lethal, Will Ospreay, Raymond Rowe, Jay White, Christopher Daniels, Austin Aries Rowe's frustration leads him to go after White. Ospreay turns his attention to the brawl in the corner with Aries and Daniels, he goes full speed from corner to corner and connects with Aries and Daniels leaving them all in a heap in the corner. Rowe's strikes connect loudly with White and Rowe makes the elimination. Eliminated: Jay White In-Ring: Jay Lethal, Will Ospreay, Raymond Rowe, Christopher Daniels, Austin Aries Now down to five guys Jay Lethal is in bad shape and propped up in the corner. Raymond Rowe stands tall as Ospreay, Daniels and Aries have a three-way brawl. Lethal mustering perhaps his last bit of energy goes flying across the ring and connects with the threesome in the corner. Daniels falls to the right, Lethal falls straight down and Aries is draped precariously over the ropes. Ospreay took the least of the blow and he used that remaining energy to toss Aries to the floor, shockingly eliminating him. Eliminated: Austin Aries In-Ring: Jay Lethal, Will Ospreay, Raymond Rowe and Christopher Daniels (All Four Qualify For the Survival of the Fittest) With four men left and all qualified for the Survival of the Fittest the bout now turns to see who will be making the pools. Lethal's exhaustion leads him to being the first elimination as Ray Rowe easily lifts him over and out. But Rowe seemed to take his eyes off the endless energy of Will Ospreay who connects with a blow to the back and then manages to toss Rowe over the top. Leaving Will Ospreay and Christopher Daniels as the final two. Ospreay, having entered at #20, began wearing down and Daniels took advantage. The one-time Ring of Honor World Champion and Ring of Honor original hit the Angel's Wings and then lifted the limp body of Ospreay, winning the Honor Rumble outright! Eliminated: Jay Lethal, Raymond Rowe and Will Ospreay Christopher Daniels wins the 2018 Honor Rumble and will have the right to make the polls for the Survival of the Fittest Ian Riccaboni and AJ Kirsch hype the phenomenal match-ups and say that exclusively at Ring of Honor's Honor Club we will be announcing the eighth, Wild Card, and Christopher Daniels will be make the two pools! What a night!</div></div></blockquote> ---------------------------------------------------------------- Up Next, Christopher Daniels will be naming the two pools and the cards for the Survival of the Fittest Day 1 and 2 will be posted!

Ring of Honor TV: Honor Rumble Preview and Honor Club Announcement ROHWrestling.com Exclusive: Honor Rumble Preview -------------------------------------------------------------- Ring of Honor Introduces: Honor Club ------------------------------------------------- Session Four of the prediction contest is underway! I've launched the Honor Club as a diary feature and not an in-game feature (broadcaster), at least yet. I'll use the once monthly Honor Club post to feature our Pre-Show matches from the four TV shows in the month as well as highlight some of our guys as they wrestle for other companies abroad. I think it'll be a fun way to highlight some of the work the AI is doing with our guys, and will allow me to tell some of the stories of the other companies a little better. Plus it gives me a place to continue working out guys and letting them wrestle. Previously I'd been typing these up before the TV shows as ROHWrestling exclusives. That will likely now transition to the once-monthly post. Let's give it a try... If I ever make enough money I may launch the Honor Club as a broadcaster, but that's a LONG way away. Now then, on to some commentary... CobheadJake: TFC hit the nail on the head, this started prior to the current NJPW storyline, though I did really debate Hangman as the turning member... That said, it evens the score with Omega being a NJPW guy I use him very selectively. The Final Countdown: I'm half-tempted to book WrestleKingdom for them just so I can accurately portray the story I want to have happen... If I do it, using the Honor Club will likely be a nice way for me to write it up in a very brief post. DGenerationMC: Steel Cage Warfare you say.... Hmmmm............ Better tune in and see what happens! Blodyxe: To be perfectly honest Silas leaving was a bit of a mistake, I forgot to renew him. I may resign him down the road, but I need something for him to do. I was originally thinking about him feuding with Beer City Bruiser, but that guy is so worthless. Kijar: Definitely glad that it got that reaction, that was the goal... Now lets see if Shelley can win the Survival of the Fittest ;-). I was originally planning the big Bullet Club vs. Royalty blow-off match for Final Battle, but I'm now going to run it at Survival of the Fittest as the Main Event. My reasoning is that Cody would otherwise not have a match there and that would be lame. Plus it'll allow Omega time to refocus on Naito. The Survival of the Fittest will be three days, with the culmination on PPV. It will be two pools of four. Day One and Day Two will be the first two matches, with the PPV featuring the final four matches and the subsequent final. It'll take a bit of fancy booking...... but it'll work out just fine ;-).

ROH TV October Week 3 and Week 4 ROH TV, October Week 3, 2018 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ROH TV, October Week 4 ---------------------------------------------- In the next post I'll answer some of the comments from the PPV, I think there are a ton of good thoughts and ideas there. Definitely love the interaction. I will also announce a new "feature" of sorts revolving around the pre-show (it's minor). More to come! Session four of the prediction contest will revolve entirely around the Survival of the Fittest, and will start with the Honor Rumble. I will post a preview prior to the match.

Fan Scorecard: World Heavyweight Championship: Eddie Guerrero vs. The Unnatural {©} ---Too Soon for a title change I think, unless Dustin's been having some drug issues. "Big Poppa Pump" Scott Steiner vs. Goldberg Steiner gets too distracted thinking about ham cubes or math, or something awesome. Sting vs. Rob Van Dam ---Tough one for me, I think RVD steals it. "The Hellraiser" Steve Austin vs. Chuck Palumbo ---Austin gets a win here World Tag Team Championship: True Heroes vs. "Fallen Angel" Christopher Daniels and Brian Adams {©} ---I could see this being a DQ United States Heavyweight Championship: Alexander vs. "The Phenomenal" AJ Styles {©} --- Two personal favorites, I think this is a solid way to set Styles up for a climb to the main event and give the group more gold. World Television Championship: Mortis vs. Sean O'Haire {©} ---If Styles wins, then I'd say Mortis wins, but lets go O'Haire. Always enjoyed his work. Cruiserweight Championship: Kaz Hayashi vs. "American Dragon" Bryan Danielson {©} ---AmDrag... OBJECTION! Paul London vs. Brian Kendrick ---Two rising stars, maybe this leads to a tag team. Minoru Tanaka, Volador Jr. and Aguila vs. The Empire What will be match of the night? Eddie vs Unnatural How many championships will change hands? 1 What will happen during the Hardys' announcement in Piper's Pit? Excursion to Japan... Random guess. Who will be the next World Heavyweight Champion? (worth 3 points) Eddie Guerrero

Ring of Honor and New Japan Pro Wrestling Present: Global Wars <div style="text-align:center;">Ring of Honor and New Japan Pro Wrestling Present: Global Wars</div> <div style="text-align:center;">October Week 2, Sunday, 2018</div> <div style="text-align:center;">Announcers: AJ Kirsch and Ian Riccaboni</div> <blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="44489" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div> <div style="text-align:center;">The pay-per-view opens with a long black limo pulling up to the Joyce Center, the limo has the Bullet Club logo on the door and sure enough as the doors open, out pour Hangman Page, Matt Jackson, Nick Jackson, Marty Scurll, Brandi Rhodes and finally the ROH World Champ, Cody. As the announcers hype the Bullet Club's arrival, they mention that the club finally looks like a cohesive unit again, and we head to the ring for our first bout. ROH Tag Titles The Briscoe Brothers {C} vs. War Machine <img alt="l8MTPbW.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/l8MTPbW.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="QLxbVjg.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/QLxbVjg.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="kTDXWu3.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/kTDXWu3.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="P5BbpIx.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/P5BbpIx.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="TPXMrhF.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/TPXMrhF.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> Two of the best teams in ROH dueled it out to open Global Wars and they put on a match that many considered the second best of the night right out of the chute. The Briscoes, back at full strength, started the bout in control and showed us why they are the nine-time ROH champions, but the Viking, Hanson managed to swing momentum back to his teams side and he and Rowe mounted a comeback here. We got a picture-in-picture shot of Matt and Nick Jackson rolling their bags into the locker room but stopping near a production table to watch the action... Actively scouting the tag division. Ultimately the War Machine comeback was all for naught as The Briscoes crisp tags and relentless speed and hard-hitting strikes wore down the War Machine and broke them as Mark and Jay hit the Froggy Bow/Jay-Driller combination for the 1-2-3. The Briscoe Brothers defeated War Machine to retain the ROH Tag Titles</div> </div></blockquote> <blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="44489" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div> <div style="text-align:center;">After a solid opener the fans were hot and the logical decision was to send "Filthy" Tom Lawlor and "The King of Bros" Matt Riddle out there for their rematch "Filthy" Tom Lawlor vs. "The King of Bros" Matt Riddle <img alt="2KV3jwq.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/2KV3jwq.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="kTDXWu3.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/kTDXWu3.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="FVtMGBd.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/FVtMGBd.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> In a fun bit of pre-match pageantry Bobby Cruise announced each man in the UFC style. This bout was surprisingly fun and a solid match-up. Riddle and Lawlor danced around the ring and showed there familiarity with one another throughout the bout. Riddle tried to go for a take-down but Lawlor kept him at bay for the first four minutes or so. In fact, Lawlor recorded the first real takedown, sweeping the feet out from under Riddle and immediately jumping on him for the ground and pound. Riddle powered out though and both men retreated to their corners to regroup. Lawlor got cocky and began to taunt the crowd and that's when Riddle snapped into overdrive, leaping at Lawlor and connecting with a Flying Knee to the chest. Now firmly in control Riddle wore down Lawlor and despite a valiant effort to stay alive, forced him to tap. Matt Riddle defeated Tom Lawlor Post-match, Matt Riddle cuts a promo on Tom Lawlor saying he knows that Tom's suspension from MMA officially ended this week and that Lawlor was just using wrestling as a way to keep his name in the news. He says "Get Lost" and the fans chant "Na Na Na Na, Hey Hey Hey, Goodbye" at Lawlor. Ian Riccaboni wonders aloud if this was actually the final time we will see Lawlor in Ring of Honor.</div></div></blockquote> <blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="44489" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div> <div style="text-align:center;">ROH Television Title "The Villain" Marty Scurll {C} vs. "Switchblade" Jay White <img alt="NXdcx8x.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/NXdcx8x.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="kTDXWu3.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/kTDXWu3.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="3cvhWUO.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/3cvhWUO.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> Jay White's new darker persona seemed to resonant with the fans as he received a huge pop when he stepped out from the backstage area. The Villain meanwhile is always popular and as he strode the ring with his title, umbrella, and plague doctor mask, we knew we were in for a show. This bout started off more technical than most expected, with Scurll showcasing the British "Strong" Style and forcing White to tap into the darker, fiercer side he has only recently begun to reveal. Marty had a near-fall mere minutes into the match and that seemed to set White off. Switchblade brutalized Scurll for what felt like five minutes and then went for the Blade Runner only to see Scurll connect with an eye poke and roll him up for a quick two count. After the near pinfall Scurll continued to control the ground and isolated White's shoulder, weakening him enough to eventually lock-on the Crossface Chicken Wing and retain his Television Title. White really had Scurll on the ropes in this one, and if it weren't for The Villain's dastardly tactics we may have had a new champion. Riccaboni opines post-match that we certainly haven't seen the end of this one.

Though both are solid workers, this was more of a cool-off bout designed to tell a story.

Unfortunately this one fell flat as KUSHIDA and Sabin appeared to have absolutely awful chemistry in the ring. KUSHIDA has had a solid year, but he seemed to mail it in a bit here, hopefully it was just a bit of residual jet lag and not the start of something more. Regardless, Chris Sabin scored the pinfall via Cradle Shock Chris Sabin defeated KUSHIDA Post-match Chris Sabin grabbed a microphone and told the audience that he is The Greatest and that tonight just proves that he's back climbing that mountaintop called fame.

Goto didn't connect with the crowd as much as we hoped and Silas Young has been frustrated with his general lack of wins and character development. With Goto heading back to NJPW and Young on his way out, this was an effective way to write Young out of the company. The Beer City Bruiser attempted to get involved but wound up doing little of value. Ultimately Goto hit the GTR for the victory Hirooki Goto defeated Silas Young Post-Match: Silas Young got into a screaming match with The Beer City Bruiser and declared that he was tired of all of his failings. He called Beer City Bruiser "Matt" and said he should be ashamed of what he has become. A real man wouldn't stand for things like this... "I Quit"...

Definitely the case here. Whitmer and Martinez though weren't about to just lay down and take it. In fact Whitmer and Martinez controlled the offense for the bulk of the match. Martinez size and agility allowed him to keep up with Lethal and Low-Ki and his deranged attitude toward pain seemed to make him a great partner for Whitmer. Whitmer meanwhile went after the elbow of Low-Ki right away, but Lethal was able to tag in and he chased Whitmer around the ring until Martinez tagged himself in as well. Lethal and Martinez then had a nice sequence that saw Lethal take Martinez down and climb up top for the Hail to the King, but Priscilla Kelly got onto the apron, only for Low-Ki to come flying across the lower portion of the ropes and take her out with a huge shoulder block as Lethal soared over Low-Ki and connected with the Hail to the King for the victory.

The main event. IWGP Champ vs. ROH Champ. And this one was a dandy, in fact, Meltzer called it the second-best match in ROH this year. It just had that big match feel. Cody made his way down to the ring, accompanied by his lovely wife Brandi Rhodes. Naito on the other hand rode solo to the ring, but had the fans in the palm of his hand. The announcers hyped that he captured the IWGP World Heavyweight title at Wrestle Kingdom 12 and that at Wrestle Kingdom 13, he'll defend the title against the G1 Climax Winner, Cody's stablemate in the Bullet Club, Kenny Omega. They also highlighted the rift Omega and Cody have had. A rift that saw Cody and Omega fight each other in May, one week after Naito defeated Cody in a non-title bout. As this one got underway Naito and Cody went through a number of rest holds and other methods to build a match slowly. The fans ate it up. Riccaboni continued that Omega is still obviously close with The Young Bucks, but that the Bullet Club fractures have been seen, even throughout the summer. However, he mentions the club all arrived here at the Joyce Center tonight together and that Cody himself has mentioned that he respects Omega as the leader of the Bullet Club in NJPW and considers himself the President Pro Tempore when Omega isn't present... for example in Ring of Honor. Naito began to work over Cody's left shoulder and took firm control of the bout at this point. Naito hit a big suplex, sending Cody into the corner. Naito posed briefly and then hit a running kick to the face. Cody was busted open from the force of the kick and blood began to slowly leak from his eyebrow. Naito went to work, raking at the cut area and forcing the issue. He went for a strong irish whip, but Cody reversed it and mounted a comeback only to see Naito mount his own. As the match reached 20 minutes the video board flickered to life... <img alt="images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQsnOCuvfr_l2jHxwgctuAsxeiAoj5y6D-Dz-vsamsILwuUUSlA" data-src="https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQsnOCuvfr_l2jHxwgctuAsxeiAoj5y6D-Dz-vsamsILwuUUSlA" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><div style="text-align:center;"></div> Kenny Omega, clearly in a vehicle of some kind, spoke "Tetsuya Naito... baby... I'm coming for that gold around your waist. I'm coming to take what's mine..." Naito didn't seem remotely rattled and went back to working Cody over. He hit the Flying Forearm Smash, followed by a Dragon Suplex and went to set-up for Destino when the rumble from the crowd gave away that something was happening... The Young Bucks made there way out to stage... "B-B-B-B-B-B Bullet Club For Life" .... Kenny Omega suddenly appeared in the middle of the stage, and immediately was flanked by The Young Bucks. Naito took his attention away from Cody. And stared Omega down. Omega walked over to the timekeepers table and took hold of the IWGP title. Japanese media members intently snapped photos as Omega wrapped the belt around his waist. Naito looked at him but turned his attention back to Cody, he went for Destino but it was countered. Cody hit the Disaster Kick and the comeback was underway. Silver Spoon DDT. Naito is down... lifts him up... Cross Rhodes. 1 2 3 Cody defeated Tetsuya Naito to retain the ROH World Title Cody has defended the title again. This bout was going so well and Naito may have had it won but Kenny Omega's shock appearance messed with the MoJo. As Cody celebrated, Omega slid into the ring... He lifted Naito, hit the V-Trigger and then hit a One Winged Angel before pushing Naito to the floor and tossing his IWGP Title at him. At this point Marty Scurll has joined Omega, The Young Bucks and Cody in the ring. Omega applauds Cody. Riccaboni mentions Hangman Page is nowhere to be seen... Cody is exhausted and hunched over. Omega asks for a microphone... "Naito... I told you I was coming. I told you. January 4th, 2019... That belt. Comes To The Bullet Club. Where it BELONGS"... "And Cody... You have something I want. Suddenly Matt and Nick Jackson hit stereo superkicks on Marty Scurll as Omega boots Cody in the stomach. Hunched over Cody is the recipient of a brutal V-Trigger. On the floor Naito is stirring, and the Bucks go flying to hit him, but somehow he manages to move, leaving both Matt and Nick on the floor. Naito walks up the ramp surveying the carnage, and clutching his IWGP Title. Omega has Cody's lifeless body and is lifting it up... "See what I am capable of Naito"... He lifts Cody for The One Winged Angel when suddenly from the crowd, now in full street clothes, Chris Sabin slides into the ring and clips Omega's knee taking him down. Riccaboni and Kirsch are going wild at the announce table as Sabin hits a Cradle Shock on Kenny Omega, square in the middle of the ring, dropping his skull firmly onto the ROH World Title that Cody dropped when he was kicked... At ringside, the previously cowering Brandi Rhodes has taken some rope she "found" under the ring and bound Matt and Nick Jackson's arms to the ring barriers. Cody is slowly climbing his way back to his feet... We cut to a picture-in-picture as we see Hangman Page laying prone on the ground tied to table by his own noose. As we focus back in the ring Brandi and Marty Scurll are both standing. Cody is up to his feet and Chris Sabin has a microphone. "Ring of Honor... I told you I wasn't done. I told you I was climbing that mountain... months ago Cody, Marty and Brandi presented me with an idea to secure all of our futures... An insurance plan so to speak... Just in case Kenny Omega and his goons, Matt and Nick tried to do something... well...You saw it... Tonight, I knew it was go-time. I had my bags packed, I was walking out of the building when I saw Kenny Boy here enter the building... Well, he went left, I went right... we call that the Detroit Shuffle. I knew he'd be looking for backup so I took out Hangman Page at the catering bar and continued to make my way around the building. By the time I was in place, I was a step too late boss... but... I made it here... and now..." Omega slowly begins stirring... Cody, not one to miss an opportunity... lifts him... Cross Rhodes right back onto the belt in the middle of the ring... Cody asks for the microphone. "Chris. Marty. Brandi. Dynasty's aren't built in one night. Royalty isn't crowned in a day. May 1st, 2018, we sat down and I told you I had a broader vision. I had a vision that would take months and months of careful planning and execution. There have been set-backs, and bumps in the road... But my daddy always said 'There is No Honor Amongst Thieves', and Kenny, Matt, Nick, Hangman... That's exactly what you are. Thieves. This time 'when I take it daddy, I’m gon’ take it for you.'" The camera goes black as Cody, Marty Scurll, Brandi Rhodes and Chris Sabin stand tall in the ring over the limp body of Kenny Omega and the tied-up bodies of Matt and Nick Jackson, forced to watch the whole goings-on while bound to the ring barrier.</div> </div></blockquote> -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Match Ratings: The Briscoe Brothers defeated War Machine (B-) Matt Riddle defeated Tom Lawlor (C-) Marty Scurll defeated Jay White (C+) Nattie Neidhart defeated Tenille Dashwood (D) Chris Sabin defeated KUSHIDA (D+) Hirooki Goto defeated Silas Young (D) Jay Lethal and Low-Ki defeated BJ Whitmer and Damien Martinez (C+) Cody defeated Tetsuya Naito (B-) OVERALL: B- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Notes: Woah... What can I say. I honestly hope this payoff is fun and works for y'all. I was having a bit of trouble with the whole Bullet Club rift and the direction I wanted to go with it and then I started scripting it out in my mind and decided I loved this direction. I want this to stay true to Ring of Honor and I think a strong stable has been a driving force in ROH in the past (Age of Fall, House of Truth, S.C.U.M.) so this is harkening back to those days with an original stable, not one based in Japan that happens to be in America, but without the leader... I never really liked the Bullet Club in ROH to be honest. TFC actually hit the nail on the head, I don't think NJPW would willingly let their champ lose a singles bout to the ROH champ on a PPV, at least without a solid story. When Omega won the G1 I knew that was the opening to pull this off here. NJPW cameras/media were "present" since Naito was in the bout. This ending, though making Cody look a little weaker than a clean victory. Allows Omega/Naito to be built further. Omega disrespected the belt and disrespected Naito. Cody meanwhile needed to either run solo or build his own small stable in a Bullet Club Esque fashion. With Scurll holding the TV Title, and Cody holding the World Title, bringing an elite tag wrestler, albeit without a partner, like Sabin into the fold made even more sense to me. I hope you all will enjoy it. Side note: The prediction prize will be to name the faction. I have two names and logos currently designed, the names are hinted in the promo. I'll send them both to the winner and they can pick. As for some of the stories in the show: Silas Young's contract expires in two days. He is 38 and going nowhere. I might bring him back down the road, but I didn't need him and he was stalled. Time to let him go... I haven't decided what to do with Lawlor, he isn't going to MMA in the game yet (though it is set in his profile so it could happen). In reality his MMA suspension ends in October of 2018 so this was a chance to consider writing him out for a bit. KUSHIDA and Sabin not having chemistry SUCKED. I didn't want that to happen to them as I like them both. But hey, that's the fun of the game! ------------------------------------------------------------ PREDICTION CONTEST (END OF ROUND THREE) Blodyxe: 9/10 + 8/10 + 7/9 + 8/8 TOTAL (32/37) TheFinalCountdown: 9/10 + 10/10 + 8/9 + 6/8 + 4/8 TOTAL (37/45) DGenerationMC: 9/10 + 8/10 + 8/9 + 5/8 + 6/8 TOTAL (36/45) The Lariat: 7/10 BHK1978: 6/10 + 8/10 + 7/9 + 5/8 + 5/8 TOTAL (31/45) Kijar: 4/10 + 7/10 + 7/9 + 4/8 +6/8 TOTAL (28/45) Powerbrock100: 7/10 + 8/9 + 6/8 TOTAL (21/27) DREAM~!: 6/8 Warhawk8492: 4/8 + 5/8 TOTAL (9/16) CobheadJake: 5/8 Congrats TheFinalCountdown on the victory in this round, I've PM'd you the potential logos/names for the new faction.

Ring of Honor: Where Superstars Are Born (RW 2018+)

ROH Global Wars PPV Preview <div style="text-align:center;">ROH Global Wars Preview</div> <blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="44489" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div> Global Wars marks the end of the 2018 collaborative NJPW and ROH pay-per-views and will feature an explosive main event that will see Cody defend his ROH World Title against the IWGP Heavyweight Champion, Tetsuya Naito. Naito scored a singles victory over Cody in May during the first War of the Worlds tour and used that victory to position himself as a challenger for Cody. Cody meanwhile has defeated all comers and will be forced into perhaps his hardest challenge yet! The ROH Tag Titles will be on the line in a bout that is sure to bring the house down. Mark Briscoe is returning from an ankle injury that kept him out for much of the last two months, including August's War of the Worlds Pay-Per-View that saw his brother defend the Tag Titles solo against two of CMLL's top challengers. Now back at full strength the Briscoes will take on the force known as War Machine in what is certain to be an explosive battle. The Television Title will be defended as "The Villain" Marty Scurll prepares to do battle with the darker side of Jay White, known as "Switchblade" Jay White. Over the summer, Jay White tapped into this darker side and began having great success in NJPW. During Death Before Dishonor, "Switchblade" returned to ROH and made an immediate impact leveling Marty Scurll with his devastating maneuver known as Blade Runner. Will the Villain be able to avoid it, or will he once again fall victim? Just two weeks ago the Women of Honor division saw its second ever champion crowned when Nattie Neidhart defeated Brandi Rhodes. In the weeks since the divisions facelift that Nattie promised has been in full effect. First and foremost, Brandi Rhodes announced her retirement from in-ring competition, stating that the Queen of Ring of Honor has learned there are certain battles she doesn't need to fight and promising to focus more on ensuring her husband, Cody continues his reign. Nattie meanwhile introduced a partnership with STARDOM, Japan's top female promotion, that will see some of the biggest stars in female wrestling visit Ring of Honor. But before she could formally make an open challenge to anyone from STARDOM she was interrupted by the debuting Tenille Dashwood. Now at Global Wars, Nattie Neidhart will make her first defense against Tenille Dashwood in what is sure to be one of the best Women of Honor match-ups we have seen. After two weeks of unsuccessful battles with his associate, The Beer City Bruiser, Silas Young has taken matters into his own hands, challenging Hirooki Goto to a one-on-one bout that is sure to be hard-hitting and true test of Silas Young's Real Man mentality. Chris Sabin's crusade to prove he is a true singles star took a slight detour last month when former partner Alex Shelley defeated him at Death Before Dishonor. Sabin wasn't deterred though as he immediately targeted Shelley's partner from NJPW, KUSHIDA. After costing KUSHIDA, Shelley and Ospreay a match that could have seen them named the 6-man champions, Sabin issued the challenge to KUSHIDA, promising to send him back to NJPW with a loss, and reestablishing Sabin's place among the best in ROH. Two months ago at War of the Worlds August, Tom Lawlor and Matt Riddle's match was ruled a DQ when Lawlor refused to a break a hold on Riddle. The subsequent brawl post-match saw Lawlor take a cheap shot on Riddle that left Riddle down and out on the mat. Two months later, unsanctioned and uninvited, Matt Riddle returned to Ring of Honor with revenge on his mind costing Tom Lawlor his match against Flip Gordon. ROH officials moved quickly and agree to a one-day deal with Matt Riddle that will see "The King of the Bros" take on "Filthy" in what is sure to be a hard-hitting and ruthless rematch. Last but certainly not least, we will see long-time rivals turned hesitant alliance Low-Ki and Jay Lethal team up to deal with the persistent problem that is BJ Whitmer and Damien "Punishment" Martinez. Last month at Death Before Dishonor, Whitmer made his return to the ring, losing to Low-Ki in a Fight Without Honor that showed neither man had any respect for each other. Post-match, an enraged Whitmer and Martinez attempted to end Low-Ki's career but before the damage could be inflicted Jay Lethal cleared the ring. Fast forward two weeks, Jay Lethal defeated BJ Whitmer in another hard-hitting bout, but much like Low-Ki, post-match, Lethal was jumped by Martinez and Whitmer. This time it was Low-Ki to the rescue. Subsequently Low-Ki and Lethal challenged Whitmer and Martinez to a tag match that will likely see blood-spilled. </div></blockquote> <blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="44489" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div> ROH Global Wars Match Card <ul><li>ROH World: Cody {C} vs. Tetsuya Naito </li><li>ROH TV: Marty Scurll {C} vs. "Switchblade" Jay White </li><li>ROH Tag: The Briscoe Brothers {C} vs. War Machine </li><li>Women of Honor: Nattie Neidhart {C} vs. Tenille Dashwood </li><li>Grudge Match: BJ Whitmer and Damien "Punishment" Martinez vs. Jay Lethal and Low-Ki </li><li>Rematch: "Filthy" Tom Lawlor vs. "The King of the Bros" Matt Riddle </li><li>Chris Sabin vs. KUSHIDA </li><li>Hirooki Goto vs. Silas Young </li></ul> </div></blockquote> ------------------------------------------------- The two weeks between PPVs was a challenge, I think I'll change that up in 2019, but I think the card came together pretty well and I'm really excited about this one, specifically as it moves towards Survival of the Fittest and also Final Battle. Lots of fun stuff coming up. Every match here serves a purpose in the story-telling for these characters and that'll be fun!
