Ring of Honor “Road to Final Battle 2016: Fort Lauderdale”
October 21st, 2016
From the War Memorial Auditorium in Fort Lauderdale, Florida
Commentators: Kevin Kelly and Steve Corino
Tonight: a Wildcard six man Tag Team march pitting Christopher Daniels, Jay Briscoe and Colt Cabana against Alex Shelley, Jay Lethal and Silas Young with a $30,000 purse at steak! (Like Ring of Honor has $30,000 to spare).
The Cabinet w/Rhett Titus vs. Leo St. Giovanni & Shaheem Ali
This match was kinda sloppy. But I’m sure it will end up on the inevitable “Best of LSG” DVD.
Winners: the Cabinet
Frankie Kazarian vs. Mark Briscoe
This was really entertaining and Mark Briscoe won?!?! I was legit shocked.
Winner: Mark Briscoe
Mark Briscoe and Dalton Castle Halloween commercial.
The Tempura Boys vs. War Machine
This was a War Machine match.
Winners: War Machine
Hangman Page vs. Dalton Castle w/different Boys
This was a really good showing from both guys. I don’t usually care for Dalton Castle but the rare time when he is on he can be very good. This was one of those times. Plus there was a dog in the crowd.
Winner: Hangman Page
Four Corners Survival
Donovan Dijak w/Prince Nana vs. Kamaitachi vs. JAY f***ING WHITE vs. Kyle O’Reilly
This was good but I expect moar from JAY f***ING WHITE and Kyle O’Reilly.
Winner: Kyle O’Reilly
Cheeseburger & Will Ferrara vs. BJ Whitmer & Punishment Martinez
The crowd was going mild for this match. Steve Corinos music caused the distraction, which gave the underdogs the win (Corino left commentary during the match because he had to stay as far away from BJ Whitmer as possible). But really, even if you’re losing to Cheeseburger and Will Ferrara by accident you have to realize you’re doing something wrong.
Winners: Cheeseburger & Will Ferrara
Glory by Honor ad.
Hangman Page joins the commentary table.
Rhett Titus w/the Cabinet vs. Bobby Fish
I missed most of this match.
Winner: Bobby Fish
Proving Ground Match
Bull James vs. Adam Cole
I didn’t know Bull James had matches in Ring of Honor outside of the Honor Rumble a month before this. Watching this was funny because it was like watching a before and after bowflex infomercial.
Winner: Adam Cole
BJ Whitmer and Punishment Martinez come out and cut a ridiculous promo before Mr. Wrestling III comes out and puts an end to them.
Chris Sabin joins the commentary booth
For a $20,000 Purse (I’m guessing the other promised $10,000 went to Cody or something)
Christopher Daniels, Colt Cabana & Jay Briscoe vs. Alex Shelley, Silas Young & Jay Lethal
This was a good match.
Winners: Alex Shelley, Silas Young & Jay Lethal (they get to share the imaginary $20,000 purse)

DVD bonus features:
Kennadi Brink vs. Rachel Ellring
This match needed moar Britt Baker.
Winner: Kennadi Brink
Kevin Kelly post show recap
_______________________________________________________________________________
This was a decent show. The crowd was tiny. The best part was during the main event when the guys behind Kevin Kelly were so drunk that he had to tell them to go sit down. It was nice to see Mark Briscoe get as singles victory. I don’t remember ever seeing that. It was nice to not have to endure a Roderick Strong match too.
I wonder if Shelley, Lethal and Young ever got their money?
