I haven't watched ROH in a long time but like. Does the Code of Honour even get f***ing brought up anymore? Like it's been downplayed and generally ignored for years but I'm not sure in any of the current era shows I've caught that it's even been mentioned in passing. Unfortunately, my last ROH show was the mixed bag known as MSG and it was actually done in some matches. Just the handshake or the actual code?

Some of it is lost because I was in a bar and don’t remember some of it for friend banter reasons but It was a big aspect of the Women’s title match for example. Edit: Also, I distinctly remember Ospreay and Cobb shaking hands before their match.

That’s some straight up carny ish for what’s a pretty damn serious issue. You’re the company that’s supposed to champion believable wrestling, what is this? I get so many emails from them cause of the one time I ordered an iPPV in 2015 (which was a f***ing ustream link with out of sync audio. yes, really.) and I swear every time they make up a new thing that ends in Of Honor. "Dear Madlibs: Sorry that your Pizza of Honor was cold. Would you like some Fries of Honor and a Refund of Honor in exchange?"

"Dear Madlibs: Sorry that your Pizza of Honor was cold. Would you like some Fries of Honor and a Refund of Honor in exchange?" I actually wanna expand on this a lil and mention that they didn't fix the out of sync audio ever and actively avoided people telling them that the sound was f***ed up. Like, I think that was the exact moment I realized that they might not be the nicest company to deal with. Also, to double expand, this wasn't like a small filler show either. This was Jay Lethal vs. Jay Briscoe, which they had built up *hard* that year.

'Ring of Honor issues statement' might as well be code for 'Ring of Honor plays Mad Libs with one of their generic "statement" responses'. "We have now concluded our internal investigation into the events that occurred in _____ location_____ on _____ day of the year_____ and have taken appropriate actions with all parties involved. Our Code of Honor, which calls for sportsmanship, respect and honor in- and outside of the ring is a core value of this company and one we will continue to strive to uphold. To all of our loyal and dedicated fans, we apologize for the incident that transpired and we encourage all of our fans to continue attending our events. Furthermore, we promise to continue delivering the best wrestling and the best live experience on the planet. In adherence to Ring of Honor policy, we will not comment further on these matters." It's like when Jay Briscoe was a massive raging homophobe and then they didn't even move him out of the upper card.

Gedo's probably like "why are we still doing business with these marks?" right now. I imagine Gedo's feelings on ROH rn are similar to when Inoki came out during a really shit match at an IGF show and started screaming BULLSHIT whilst smashing the guard rail with a chair. Luke Gallows' face during that was the ultimate "F*** my life", but that might just have been because he was wrestling Sylvester Terkay

Yeah, this sure sounds like a thorough investigation of Honor.

I can't find the email but I swear I remember getting one where they called their production crew Innovators Of Honor or some shit like that and I just about had a stroke Kellogg’s told them to get out of their office because Cereal Of Honor was terrible marketing, Briscoe shaped marshmallows or not. It got canned because Jay flipped out about the idea of Briscoe shaped anything going in other men's mouths.

The fact they referenced Code of Honor, I can't just stop laughing
No doubt someone suggested that line and management had to be like you know this could play to the masses

If you picked they'd do nothing about it, you win! Knowing this company as I do, I'm sure their "investigation" was them reassuring the people involved that they'd be fine, then doing dick all of actual investigation for a month.

Jesus Christ, did the TNA PR team take over ROH? What an astoudnly bad way to handle this entire situation. Botched from every possible aspect.
More like Clowns of Honor.

This company really needs to hire someone who knows a thing or two about PR of Honor.

You forgot to mention the part about fans being more like extras.

In keeping with my own personal Code of Honor, based on this press release announcing the conclusion of their internal investigation, as per my policy, I will not watch any further Ring of Honor.
