There won’t be any match write ups. It’s not that kind of thing. There won’t be many pictures either, I’m not great at those. Oh, and it won’t be historically accurate. That would require some effort and take the fun out of it. Like, for example, the logo and the belts didn’t look like that at the start. Not for a long time. But they’re pretty. And I like them. More to the point, Ring of Honor didn’t even exist in 2001… but here we are (May if you’re wondering). This will be my attempt at showing an alternative origin of ROH, presented in bite-size chunks for your consumption. Hopefully it is of interest to anyone who enjoyed wrestling as it all went to hell around the turn of the century. <img src="https://i.ibb.co/n7qptM0/Hint3.png" alt="Hint3" border="0"> Please feel free to leave feedback, criticism and creative abuse. Thank you to anyone who reads this and/or any of my other diaries. BC </summary></details></details></tr></table></details> </div> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ippon Posted January 29, 2022 Share Posted January 29, 2022 Looking forward to this! ROH have always had a tonne of talent, but in their early days they were stacked with future superstars so it will be interesting to see what direction you take them!

Bigelow Cartwheel Posted January 29, 2022 Author Share Posted January 29, 2022 Looking forward to this! ROH have always had a tonne of talent, but in their early days they were stacked with future superstars so it will be interesting to see what direction you take them! Thank you. There was a lot to choose from and cost was a factor. I'm hoping to bring in more high profile names as it progresses. This is gonna be good Thanks Big J. I hope so. Good start this is gonna be good. Thanks man. I will try. Agreed there, particularly including the Briscoes, Samoa Joe, Christopher Daniels and AJ Styles. Count me in as subscribed. Daniels is one I looked at but he's a little pricey. Hopefully somewhere down the line. And thank you. Yes! Early ROH is awesome, and it's been a while since there was a popular dynasty based on it. I'll be keeping an eye on this project. Excellent. Thanks JTA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe could not leave the ring without assistance and it has been confirmed that he will miss the next show at least. There has been no comment from Joe at this time. Best In The World is scheduled for June 23 and the main event has been announced as Low Ki vs AJ Styles. Fans are excited about this one as two of ROH’s biggest names go head to head. Elsewhere, the Havana Pitbulls provoked The Briscoes at the last show by confronting them after their match with The SAT. Rocky Romero has now laid down the challenge to Jay Briscoe for a match at Best In The World and Jay has been quick to accept. And finally, CM Punk is said to be unhappy with his loss to Bryan Danielson. The two had a very competitive match at Respect Is Earned with Danielson edging it and Punk is said to be eager for a rematch. No comment from Bryan Danielson at this time. Ring Of Honor returns with Best In The World at The Carrier Theater, Syracuse, NY on June 23. Tickets still available. - ROH </div> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dalton Posted January 29, 2022 Share Posted January 29, 2022 I can tell you from personal experience that the Carrier Theater is an excellent, excellent venue! I hope Punk vs. Danielson becomes THE feud for ROH! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope Punk vs. Danielson becomes THE feud for ROH! Awesome. I hope the show does the place proud. I'm very big on both Punk and Danielson so whilst I am a couple of shows ahead I can't say for certain that I know what's going to happen.

Styles came to talk about his match with Low Ki but was instead interrupted by Prince Nana. Nana told Styles that Jimmy Rave was not here tonight but that AJ has drawn Rave for his qualifying match at Survival of the Fittest and should not bother showing up. Then Low Ki came out and chased Nana away. Low Ki told Styles he’ll see him again soon. Bryan Danielson defeated Mark Briscoe CM Punk defeated Matt Sydal CM Punk cut a promo on Bryan Danielson, saying that the better man won on the night but that it is far from over between them. He then stated that tonight is not about Danielson and he is focused on his match against Matt Sydal. Ricky Reyes (w/ Julius Smokes) defeated Jody Fleisch Roderick Strong and Jack Evans defeated The SAT Strong submitted Jose The show opened backstage with a pre-taped video segment by the Havana Pitbulls with Julius Smokes.

It is understood the team may have been handed a warning. Survival Of The Fittest will be the inaugural tournament to crown the first Ring Of Honor World champion. There will be a series of qualifying matches at the show and then the winners will face off in a six man elimination main event. Qualifying matches confirmed already are AJ Styles vs Jimmy Rave and Jay Briscoe vs Ricky Reyes. Others expected to be entered into the tournament include CM Punk, Low Ki and Bryan Danielson. No Samoa Joe though as he remains sidelined with an ankle injury. One new face expected to be at Survival Of The Fittest is Colt Cabana, a rising young star wrestling out of Chicago, IL. Ring Of Honor returns to The Carrier Theater in Syracuse, NY. July 28. Tickets are already sold out! - ROH </div> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
