I know some people aren't big on him (and for legit reasons) but ACH is my dude. If I was a pro-wrestler, I'd be ACH (personality wise, f*** all that high flying stuff). Here's to hoping he wins SOTF.

As much as I loved how Lethal turned out this Summer, I was salty (and still a little) as f*** when ACH was losing left and right to him and commentary was seemingly burying the guy for missing a flight. All I saw was Ciampa 2.0. Hopefully they can turn this around.

I mean, Delirious turned both Lethal and Elgin around after the end of the SCUM feud made them look incapable and terrible, so anything's possible.

I'm actually revisiting some 2013/2014 ROH shows and for someone who improved so much and kept getting better-and-better, I have no idea where they went wrong with Ciampa. In a dream scenario, he'd be the perfect guy to eventually dethrone Lethal.

THE WORLD TAG TITLES WILL BE ON THE LINE 11/13 IN MILWAUKEE
Fri, November 13th - Turner Hall Ballroom - Milwaukee, Wi



SURVIVAL OF THE FITTEST is back for 2015! The Ring of Honor tradition returns November 13th in Milwaukee, WI and November 14th in Hopkins, MI. SURVIVAL OF THE FITTEST is one of the most grueling tournaments in all of professional wrestling, where the winner has to endure two nights of competition against the top ROH stars. The prize? A future ROH World Championship opportunity!

Past winners of this prestigious tournament include Delirious, Roderick Strong, "Unbreakable" Michael Elgin, Adam Cole, and current ROH World and Television Champion Jay Lethal. This year, the SURVIVAL OF THE FITTEST field will be comprised of 18 of the biggest stars in Ring of Honor.

Too add to the excitement of this massive annual event, the ROH World Tag Team Championships will be defended on November 13th in Milwaukee against a team that has held gold multiple times before!

- REDRAGON (KYLE O'REILLY & BOBBY FISH) VS. THE KINGDOM (MICHAEL BENNETT & MATT TAVEN) w/ MARIA KANELLIS

reDRagon's success as a tag team has taken them all over the planet. From the US to Europe to Japan, Bobby Fish and Kyle O'Reilly have collected titles and earned the reputation as quite possibly the best tag team in the world today. They are former ROH World Tag Team Champions always itching for the opportunity to reclaim ROH gold!

The Kingdom haven't been teaming as long as reDRagon, but theirs is a partnership built on years of time spent together wrestling around New England. Somewhere along the journey, Taven and Bennett realized they have the same relentless ambition - and the same willingness to cut corners to get what they want. Now, they are finally ROH World Tag Team Champions. On November 13th, they face reDRagon in a match that has become much more personal and heated than it was the last time these two clashed.

Kyle O'Reilly seemed poised to claim his first singles championship in Ring of Honor when he battled Jay Lethal at ALL STAR EXTRAVAGANZA VII. O'Reilly had Lethal's number and proven before he can beat him. During the World Championship match, chaos erupted as the House of Truth tried to ensure a Lethal victory. O'Reilly's former partner, Adam Cole, hit the ring to back up his "best friend"...and betrayed Kyle O'Reilly in front of the entire world.

It became abundantly clear that Adam Cole had planned for months to destroy O'Reilly's championship hopes, and he went about it in the most deceitful way possible. He preyed on his so-called friendship with his former partner while also embracing the ROH fans' desire to see Future Shock reunited. It was a long con of emotional manipulation - and the entire Kingdom was in on the ruse.

The months of tension between Cole and his compatriots was nothing more than a smokescreen to gain Kyle O'Reilly's trust and now O'Reilly has the opportunity for revenge on The Kingdom at SURVIVAL OF THE FITTEST! He and his real partner, Bobby Fish, have the chance to snatch the ROH World Tag Team Championship from Taven and Bennett, all while sending a very clear message to Adam Cole: The war between Cole and O'Reilly has only just begun.

ROHWrestling.com will have all the latest updates on other athletes and matches slated for the huge two-night event.

[AdamAFL was sooooo wrong]

It would make no logical sense and it would halt the apparent sustained singles pushes for the pair but I can't tell you how much I want to see reDRagon beat The Kingdom for the tag belts.

[Talent Name]

If Donovan Dijak worked on his promo skills a little more he could be something. He is decent in the ring and I like him

[2coldMack is even more baffled]

Still super into the Kingdom, hope they retain.

Actually ran into Taven apparently donning his gear in the bathroom of the last Atlanta show. Super awkward.

Jimmy Jacobs had a nasty habit of accidentally stepping on my wife's foot. Didn't matter if it was ROH or an indie. If he was booked, she was going to get stepped on. Every. Single. Time.

[Magic knows Black Lives Matter]

Loved Corino bringing back the Fistful of Dollars to knock out BJ on the last episode of TV.

Well your dad needs to stay out of Mark's way.

the last Nashville show he went to before that, Cliff Compton almost knocked him down when he was running in to attack Kevin Steen

I like him too, I'd say he's good in the right and just has a unique presence. I think everyone knew Dalton Castle was going to be a huge star regardless, so I'm glad they gave Dijak the Top Prospect honors. He could really be something, and aligning with Truth is the right move.

I find myself liking J. Diesel more and more as well.

DID ONE PUNCH COST CORINO HIS CAREER?
The Latest on King Corino



On the most recent edition of “Ring of Honor” television, at the conclusion of the “No DQ” match between Jay Briscoe and Adam Page that saw Briscoe survive to pick up the win, King Corino knocked out BJ Whitmer and then slowly walked away from ringside. Is King Corino’s career now a part of ROH history?

Speculation was that Corino was fired from ROH, thanks to a “Zero Tolerance” policy that protects announcers from wrestlers but also wrestlers from announcers. However, the only decision made after the punch was that Corino was immediately suspended from television.

We have been told that ROH Matchmaker Nigel McGuinness will announce his decision regarding King Corino’s future in Ring of Honor on October 23rd in Kalamazoo, MI at the National TV Taping at the Wings Stadium Annex.

Corino supporters will point toward the months of harassment and abuse that Whitmer has levied on the ROH Announcer that not only included threats of physical violence but also enlisting Corino’s adult son, Colby to be a “young boy” in the Decade, inflicting mental distress as well.

Corino detractors will remind everyone that Corino was well aware of the “Zero Tolerance” policy and had recently been temporarily suspended for attacking Whitmer at another TV Taping in June in NYC. The one-time leader of “SCUM” has been carefully monitored since being allowed back into the company in 2013 and he has a long list of prior offenses that could affect McGuinness’ decision.

[2coldMack is even more baffled]

So somebody fill me in on this Colby Corino situation, is he a heel in this scenario, or just.....somehow completely unaware of the fact that Whitmer and Page are blatantly using him against his dad?

Completely oblivious to the situation and a touch brainwashed. Steve has said that Colby wants to do it on his own and not use his dad to get into places which he was fine with. Now though, BJ and Page got to Colby and convinced him the Decade was the way to do things, got him to leave home and stop talking to Steve.
