20 Years of Ring of Honor: The End

[mcmahonfan85]

Today in Ring of Honor History: May 22

- 2004: Ring of Honor held "Generation Next" in Philadelphia, PA. With ROH still revamping itself after the Rob Feinstein Controversy, the show was supposed to feature eight young wrestlers competing in four randomly selected singles match, with the fans voting on who impressed them the most, and chosen wrestlers being booked full time. However, Alex Shelley, Austin Aries, Roderick Strong and Jack Evans hijacked the show and put an end to that, refusing to let their fate be left up to the fans. Taking the show's name as their own, they vowed to simply take the spots of other wrestlers on the roster, and quickly went to work establishing themselves as a dominant force. After defeating Special K at the start of the show (which started Hydro's transition from rich kid raver to pro wrestler Jay Lethal), they made their presence felt throughout the remainder of the night, culminating in an Eight-Man Tag Team match against John Walters, Jimmy Rave and the Briscoe Brothers. Generation Next wasn't the only new team on the scene, as the mystery of who crapped in the Carnage Crew's bags ["At Our Best" - 3/13/04] came to a close when it was revealed to be Masada and Danny Daniels, who branded themselves The New and Improved Carnage Crew. Elsewhere, after having a fireball thrown in his face during their last encounter ["Reborn: Stage One" - 4/23/04], ROH World Champion Samoa Joe wanted revenge against Homicide, and got it when the rules were relaxed during their rematch for the title. With the show having to be held outside in a tent, Homicide made good use of the venue, resulting in some of the most memorable calls from Gabe "Jimmy Bower" Sapolsky's career on commentary. One week after defeating the Second City Saints for the ROH Tag Team Championship at "Round Robin Challenge III" [5/15/04], The Prophecy looked to repeat the feat in a No Disqualification match. Not done for the night, CM Punk followed up the title match by recreating an icon Randy Savage moment during a confrontation with Ricky Steamboat.

- 2010: ROH wrapped up their latest round of HDNet tapings in Philadelphia, PA. The feud between El Generico and Kevin Steen continued to burn hot. After taking on Steve Corino in a singles match, Colt Cabana teamed up with Generico to face Steen and Corino in an "Anything Goes" match. Looking to prove the greatness of the ROH World Tag Team Champions the Kings of Wrestling, Shane Hagadorn setup a series of tag matches, one of which included Adam Cole in his ROH debut, but they ended up biting off more than they could chew when The Briscoes took the place of the last team. ROH World Champion Tyler Black teamed with Jerry Lynn and Delirious to face Austin Aries and The All-Night Express in a grudge match. With both teams at one win a piece, The American Wolves and Dark City Fight Club met in a rubber match. One night after teaming together, Christopher Daniels squared off against Roderick Strong, who had a new life intervention expert, Truth Martini. Rasche Brown took on Embassy member Erick Stevens in a grudge match, while The Embassy's new Crown Jewel Necro Butcher wrestled his first match for them, a squash against Bobby Beverly. Andy Ridge was the latest victim of ROH World Television Champion Eddie Edwards' Ten Minute Hunt, Sara Del Rey took on Jamilia Craft (Jenny Rose), and Up in Smoke faced The Set.

- Promo from The Prophecy, saying they beat the Second City Saints at "Round Robin Challenge III" [5/15/04] to win the ROH Tag Team Championship, and they'll do it again tonight. Dan Maff said a year ago he turned his career around when he joined The Prophecy, and since then it's been a rollercoaster ride of highs and lows. The highest high was when they won the titles a week ago, but it all got flushed down the toilet when they lost them an hour later. Maff told BJ Whitmer they don't like each other, but Christopher Daniels was right when he said when they were on the same page, they're the top dogs in the yard. Maff then said tonight is a must win situation, because if they fail to win the titles, it might be the death of The Prophecy. Maff left, and Whitmer and Allison Danger had no idea what he meant by that.

- Colt Cabana hosted "Good Times, Great Memories" with special guest Trent Acid, and asked him about someone dropping a deuce in the Carnage Crew's bags ["At Our Best" - 3/13/04]. Acid said he knows who did it, but when Cabana asked him to name names, Acid said he's not a rat. Carnage Crew overheard and came over, with Loc and DeVito demanding answers. Masada tried to calm them down, and told Acid to tell who did it to show up in the ring tonight.

- The Christopher Street Connection came out for their Tag Team Scramble match against The Ring Crew Express and Special K, but Alex Shelley, Austin Aries, Roderick Strong & Jack Evans ran out and attacked them. Shelley said there isn't going to be any fan vote tonight because he doesn't trust his career in their hands, and threw the ballots in the trash. The four them have no reason to fight each other because they are the best athletes in Ring of Honor, and they are Generation Next. Shelley said ROH isn't a place for freaks like CSC or kids on the ring crew. The Ring Crew Express tried to stand up to them, but got beaten down. Special K came out, starting an impromptu Six-Man Tag Team match.

2. Generation Next (Austin Aries, Roderick Strong & Jack Evans w/Alex Shelley) beat Special K (Izzy, Dixie & Angel Dust w/Hydro, Cheech & Becky Bayless) in a Six-Man Tag Team match. Angel Dust was still hurt from the finish of Scramble Cage II at "At Our Best", and wrestled in a neck brace. Finish was a triple pin, with Aries pinning Dixie after a 450, Strong pinning Angel Dust after an over the shoulder backbreaker, and Evans pinning Izzy after a 630. Post match Shelley said there isn't a real wrestler in Special K, but Hydro got in the ring and said to try him.

3. Alex Shelley (w/Generation Next) beat Hydro. Post match Shelley said it was a hell of an effort, but his best wasn't good enough. However, Shelley said Hydro did open his eyes, and he offered him a spot in Generation Next, but Hydro refused and walked away. Shelley said that's fine, because tonight is still the night Generation Next rises to the top, and he'll be goddammed if anyone is going to stop them.

- All four members of the Carnage Crew came out for their match against Trent Acid and whoever crapped in their bags. As Acid came out with Danny Daniels, Masada attacked the other members from behind, revealing himself as the one who did it.

4. The New and Improved Carnage Crew (Masada & Danny Daniels) & Trent Acid beat the Carnage Crew (Loc, DeVito & Justin Credible) in a Six-Man Tag Team match. Acid pinned Loc after a Yakuza Kick.

5. John Walters vs. Jimmy Rave ended in a no contest. As soon the bell rang, Generation Next came out and said they are taking their spots on the roster, before beating down both wrestlers.

6. Nigel McGuinness beat Jimmy Jacobs

- Sugar Sean Price tried to interview Homicide and Julius Smokes during intermission, but Homicide kicked him out.

7. Second City Saints (CM Punk & Colt Cabana) (c) beat The Prophecy (Dan Maff & BJ Whitmer w/Allison Danger) in a No Disqualification match to retain the ROH Tag Team Championship. Punk pinned Whitmer after a Pepsi Plunge.

- Backstage Gary Michael Cappetta interviewed Special K, who were upset and said the party is over. Realizing he wasn't going to get much of an interview out of them, GMC threw it to Sugar Sean Price, who tried to find out what Dan Maff meant by saying The Prophecy might be dead if they lost tonight. However, Allison Danger said she's sick of him always bothering them, and kicked him out.

8. Briscoes Brothers (Jay & Mark Briscoe) beat The Outcast Killaz (Diablo Santiago & Oman Tortuga) (w/The Embassy). Double pin after a J-Driller and Cutthroat Driver. Post match the Briscoes started heading to the back, when Generation Next came out. Alex Shelley said they took two spot tonight, but they want two more, so the Briscoes can either step down or get beaten down. Jay said they ain't never back down from a fight, so they'll take them on. Shelley said it doesn't seem the Briscoes are good at match, because it's 4 on 2. John Walters and Jimmy Rave came out and said they showed up tonight to fight, so make it an Eight-Man Tag.

9. Generation Next (Alex Shelley, Austin Aries, Roderick Strong & Jack Evans) beat the Briscoe Brothers (Jay & Mark Briscoe), John Walters & Jimmy Rave in an Eight-Man Tag Team match. Shelley made Walters tap out to the Border City Stretch.

- Gary Michael Cappetta brought out CM Punk and Ricky Steamboat for the verbal confrontation. Punk said everyone wants to be remembered, and put over Steamboat as a former NWA World Heavyweight Champion and WWF Intercontinental Champion, someone who had matches with the likes of Ric Flair, Randy Savage and Steve Austin, and other than the gray hair and bald spot, you couldn't tell he's 150-years-old. The problem with Steamboat is he is the past and Punk is the present. Steamboat said he did do a lot in his career, but he didn't come to talk about it, he came to fight, so put up or shut up. Punk teased fighting him and said he could take away everything Steamboat had done in his career like that…but he's not going to, because he really does respect Steamboat. To show his sincerity, Punk offered to shake Steamboat's hand, but then attacked him. Steamboat made a comeback and got the better of Punk, but when he climbed the top rope to finish him off, Colt Cabana ran out and pushed him off. Cabana then held Steamboat down while Punk went Macho Man on him and dove off the top rope with the ring bell, hitting Steamboat in the throat. As officials ran out to check on Steamboat, The Prophecy ran out to chase off the Second City Saints.

10. Samoa Joe (c) beat Homicide (w/Julius Smokes) in a "Relaxed Rules" match to retain the ROH World Championship

- Backstage they tried to record a promo with The Prophecy, but Dan Maff told BJ Whitmer he wasn't there in their match tonight. Maff said he's going them one last shot, but if they can't get it together, he's calling it quits on The Prophecy.

- Back in the ring the fans were chanting for Homicide, but he said they make him f***ing disgusted and he doesn't need their cheers because the demon is here. Homicide began tearing up ringside and attacking the poles holding the tent up, cause Jimmy Bower to yell for everyone to evacuate.

The GenNext show was one of the first shows I remember watching on tape from ROH and it got me hooked. I really liked the Joe/Homicide and Steamboat/CM Punk feuds.

- SoCal Uncensored came out for Scorpio Sky's match against Shane Taylor, and said Edinburgh is the worst town they've ever been in and the fans don't deserve to see Sky wrestle. As such, Christopher Daniels offered Taylor money to forfeit the match so they can get out of this town as soon as possible…and fans began chanting for him to take the money. Taylor said he can do a lot with the money, but he lays down for nobody.

1. Shane Taylor beat Scorpio Sky. End of the match The Addiction ran back out, with Christopher Daniels jumping on the ring apron to distract Taylor. Sky tried to get Taylor from behind, but Taylor caught him and threw him into Daniels, before hitting Greetings from 216 for the win. Post match Daniels said that didn't go according to plan, but SoCal Uncensored is still the best trio in the bus-i-ness. To prove that, they've personally asked to faced Los Ingobernables de Japón tonight, and they don’t want to wait for later.

2. Los Ingobernables de Japón (EVIL & SANADA) beat The Addiction (Christopher Daniels & Frankie Kazarian). EVIL pinned Daniels after Everything Is Evil.

3. Kelly Klein & Chardonnay beat Sumie Sakai & Tenille Dashwood. End of the match Chardonnay slid the WOH World Championship belt to Klein and distracted the referee. As Sakai took out Chardonnay, Klein tried to hit Dashwood with the belt, but she kicked Klein in the stomach. Dashwood picked up the belt, but just then the referee turned around and saw it, and took it away. As Dashwood was distracted by the ref, Klein rolled her up for the win.

4. Punishment Martinez beat Kenny King

5. The Young Bucks (Matt & Nick Jackson) defeat Nick Aldis & Mark Haskins. Matt pinned Haskins after a Meltzer Driver.

6. The Boys (Boy #1 & Boy #2) defeat Delirious & Toru Yano. Towards the end of the match Yano took off one of the turnbuckle pads and used it to hit The Boys. A short while later, Boy #1 went under the ring and put on a Delirious mask and started speaking gibberish, which the real Delirious didn't appreciate as it was gimmick infringement. After ripping the mask off, Delirious went for a splash in the corner, but Boy #1 moved out of the way, causing Delirious to run into the exposed turnbuckle. The Boys then hit a Lung Blower/Codebreaker combo on Delirious for the win. Post match Bully Ray ran out and beat up The Boys.

7. Silas Young (c) defeats Joe Hendry to retain the ROH World Television Championship

8. The Kingdom (Matt Taven, Vinny Marseglia & TK O'Ryan) (c) beat Dalton Castle, Hiroshi Tanahashi & Jay Lethal to retain the ROH World Six-Man Tag Team Championship. Taven pinned Lethal after Rock Star Supernova.

9. The Briscoes (Jay & Mark Briscoe) (c) defeat Bullet Club (Cody & Adam Page w/Brandi Rhodes) to retain the ROH World Tag Team Championship. Finish saw the Briscoes go for a Doomsday Device on Page, but Cody shoved Mark off the top rope while Page got free of Jay. However, as the referee checked on Mark, Jay hit a low blow on Page followed by a J-Driller for the win.

2. Toru Yano beat Shane Taylor. Finish saw Taylor go for a Knockout Punch, but Yano grabbed the referee and used him as a shield.

Post match two members of ring crew came out to check on Taylor, only to have him take out his frustrations on them.

3. Tenille Dashwood beat Kelly Klein. Finish saw Klein go for K-Power, but Dashwood reverse out of it into a roll up for the win.

4. Jay Briscoe beat Mark Haskins (w/Vicky Haskins). Near the end of the match, Vicky jumped up on the ring apron when Jay was going for a J-Driller, then slapped him when he began yelling at her.

{Spoiler}{Spoiler}Silas Young (c) beat Hiroshi Tanahashi, Punishment Martinez and SANADA in a Four Corner Survival match to retain the ROH World Television Championship. End of the match Martinez attempted to bring a chair into the ring, but Tanahashi tried taking it away from him. As they fought over the chair, SANDA drop kicked both of them off the ring apron, but then Young rolled up SANADA and pinned him with his feet on the ropes.

- The Boys came out for the tag team match, but were interrupted by Bully Ray. The fans began chanting "We want D-Von", and Ian Riccaboni said he'd take Spike, Sign Guy or Joel Gertner over Bully. Bully heard that, and began chastising Ian before getting in the ring. Bully told Bobby Cruise to announce the match as now being a handicap match.

6. Bully Ray beat The Boys (Boy #1 & Boy #2) in a Handicap match. After giving both Boys a powerbomb, Bully pinned both of them and told the referee to do a five count. Post match the fans began chanting for tables, but Bully told them to go to hell.

- Kenny King came out for his match against Cody, and said he always loves it when he gets to beat up a guy in front of his wife. However, what he loves more is money, and said to raise the stakes: if he wins, Kenny King is All In. Cody said it's not up to him, as the fans are really in charge of "All In", and asked if that's what they want. After the fans said yes, Cody agreed…on the condition that if King wins, he can't give his spot to Flip Gordon. The fans began chanting for Flip, so Cody said if King wins, both he and Flip Gordon are All In.

7. Cody (w/Brandi Rhodes) beat Kenny King in an "All In" qualifying match. After being dumped to floor, King pulled a rose out from under the ring and offered it to Brandi. Cody took out King with a dive, then gave the rose to Brandi himself. End of the match Brandi tried to distract King by destroying the rose, but he didn't care. King picked up Cody for a Royal Flush, but Cody fought out of it and hit a Cross Rhodes for the win. Post match Cody began plugging "All In" [9/1/18] when he was interrupted by NWA World Heavyweight Champion Nick Aldis. Aldis said since become champion, he's been working on bringing prestige back to the title held by the likes of Ric Flair, Harley Race, and Dusty Rhodes. Aldis said he thinks Cody is a worthy challenger because he is a game changer, and he admires the way he does business…that was until the "All In" press conference, when he publicly called out Aldis for a title shot without even speaking to him first. Aldis doesn't back down from a challenge, so if Cody wanted a shot, all he had to do was ask. Cody is a gambler who went All In, but Aldis is the champion, and that makes him the dealer, so he wants to make a deal. Cody said Aldis seems to be under the assumption he only wants the title is because his dad, but the truth is he wants it for himself. But Cody said Aldis is right that he didn't speak with him about the title match first, and he is the dealer, so he wants to know if Aldis All In. Aldis said he is on one condition. It's come to his attention that before "All In" takes place, Cody is getting a shot at the ROH World Championship ["Best in the World 2018" - 6/29/18], so if he wins, Aldis wants him to really go all in and put the belt on a the line in a Title vs. Title match. Cody accepted, so Aldis said he's officially All In.

8. Dalton Castle (c) beat EVIL to retain the ROH World Championship. End of the match the referee got squashed in the corner, and while he was down EVIL grabbed the title belt to use as a weapon. However, Castle blocked and hit a Bang-A-Rang, but the referee was still down and couldn't make the count. EVIL recovered and hit Castle in the head with the title just before the referee got back in the ring, but Castle kicked out at two. EVIL went for Everything Is Evil, but Castle blocked it and forced EVIL down into a pin for the win. Post match a frustrated EVIL tried to rake Castle's eyes, but was surrounded by referees and went to the back.

9. The Kingdom (Matt Taven, Vinny Marseglia & TK O'Ryan) (c) beat Bullet Club (Matt Jackson, Nick Jackson & Adam Page) and SoCal Uncensored (Christopher Daniels, Frankie Kazarian & Scorpio Sky) in a Three-Way Six-Man Tag Team match to retain the ROH World Six-Man Tag Team Championship. End of the match Bullet Club went for a Double-Spiked Rite of Passage, but Daniels pulled the referee out of the ring to break up the three count. Nick went to kick Daniels, but Daniels ducked and Nick knocked out the referee instead. SCU then took out Page, and Daniels had him beat with a B.M.E., but when a second referee ran out to count the pin, Taven pulled that one out of the ring. Daniels went for a dive on Taven, and caught the second referee as well. With both referees down, O'Ryan hit Daniels in the back of the head with a title belt, while Marseglia popped a balloon in Kazarian's ear and ran under the ring, with Kazarian going in after him. Marseglia came out (with Kazarian not being seen again), and The Kingdom hit Rockstar Supernova on Daniels. Taven pinned Daniels, and a third referee ran out and started to count the pinfall, but stopped at two and flipped off Taven, before taking off his bandana to reveal it was really Cody. Cody took out The Kingdom, while the Bucks hit a Meltzer Driver on Daniels. Cody began counting the pin, but the original referee got up and pulled him out of the ring. As Cody and the Bucks argued with the ref, Taven hit Matt in the back with his walking stick, then pinned Daniels for the win.

Today in Ring of Honor History: May 27

- 2018: Ring of Honor and New Japan closed out the "Honor United" tour in Doncaster, England. The main event saw a non-title Four-Way Tag Team match between ROH World Tag Team Champions The Briscoes, Vinny Marseglia and TK O'Ryan of The Kingdom, Los Ingobernables de Japón's EVIL and SANADA, and The Young Bucks. ROH World Champion Dalton Castle teamed up with The Boys to face Bully Ray, Shane Taylor and Punishment Martinez in a Six-Man Tag. After an eleven year absence, former ROH Pure Champion Doug Williams made what ended up being his final appearance in Ring of Honor, challenging Silas Young for the ROH World Television Championship (Williams was scheduled to return in 2020, but the shows he was booked on were cancelled due to COVID). British wrestler Chardonnay challenged Sumie Sakai for the WOH World Championship. Jay Lethal took on his former and future rival Matt Taven in a singles match. Adam Page faced Hiroshi Tanahashi. And Doncaster ended up truly being the worst town SoCal Uncensored had ever been in up to that point, with The Addiction losing to Kenny King and Toru Yano, while Scorpio Sky fell to Cody.

Sky sprayed Cody in the eyes and hit a modified brainbuster, but Cody kicked out at two. Cody won after a Cross Rhodes.

7. Hiroshi Tanahashi beat Adam Page

8. The Young Bucks (Matt & Nick Jackson) beat The Briscoes (Jay & Mark Briscoe), The Kingdom (Vinny Marseglia & TK O'Ryan) and Los Ingobernables de Japón (EVIL & SANADA) in a Four-Way Tag Team match.

- Backstage Quinn McKay interviewed The Foundation after their successful title defense of the ROH World Tag Team Championship against The OGK on the previous episode [5/21/21]. Tracy Williams said there is a reason OGK were once the top tag team in ROH, and they still have what it takes to be on top again. Williams said as great as the fight was, it still wasn't pure, so from now on all their title defenses will be held under Pure Rules.

- Promo from Joe Keys, saying on paper his match with LSG doesn't seem like a big deal, but it is. After losing to ROH Pure Champion Jonathan Gresham on the January 29 episode, Keys went to the bottom barrel. Keys is sick of being known just as "that Dojo guy", and winning tonight will get him back in the rankings and back in title contention where he belongs.

- Promo from LSG, saying everyone is always talking about the future, but what about the now. LSG respects Joe Keys and everything he does at the ROH Dojo, but this is the match that is going to launch LSG to his rightful place among the stars, because he is the now.

1. LSG beat Joe Keys

- Backstage Quinn McKay asked LSG which division he was going to enter. LSG said he was in the TV Title Division, but Joe Keys is in the Pure Division, and he now knows what Keys is fighting for. LSG believes in Joe Keys, and he believes in The Foundation, so he's entering the Pure Division.

- Recap of Silas Young turning on Josh Woods at the "19th Anniversary" [3/26/21], followed by a recap of Young beating Woods with his feet on the ropes on the May 14 episode. Backstage Quinn McKay interviewed Young, saying he cheated to win. Young wanted to know if she was an interviewer or a Josh Woods fangirl, because anyone in the locker room would say what he did was use a "veteran move". Woods interrupted and said Young could never beat him fair and square, but Young said when they look in the history books, all it'll say is Silas Young beat Josh Woods. Young said he could beat Woods in a Pure Rules match if he had to, and Woods said he'd love to see that happen.

- Promo from VLNCE UNLTD, with Brody King telling The Foundation you either die a hero, or you live long enough to become…eh, whatever, they're just gonna die. The Foundation has finally decided to get their hands dirty and face VLNCE UNLTD. There is honor in violence, and they don't believe in The Foundation's little rules, so get ready for some real violence.

- Promo from The Foundation, saying since the "19th Anniversary", it's only been a matter of time before this match happened. While Brody King was off on vacation, The Foundation has been rebuilding Ring of Honor brick by brick. Now he's back and has found some likeminded individuals, while The Foundation has four of the best wrestlers in the world. Tonight isn't a hardcore match, it's an actual wrestling match, and VLNCE UNLTD is outmatched in every aspect.

2. Violence Unlimited (Brody King, Homicide, Chris Dickinson & Tony Deppen) beat The Foundation (Jay Lethal, Jonathan Gresham, Rhett Titus & Tracy Williams) in an Eight-Man Tag Team match. Finish saw Lethal go for a Lethal Injection, which knocked Homicide off the ring apron when Lethal bounced into the ropes, but Brody caught Lethal in a Gonzo Bomb for the win.

5. Shane Taylor & Keith Lee beat Andy Dalton & Ken Phoenix. Finish saw Lee give Dalton a Pop-Up Powerbomb followed by Taylor hitting a splash.

6. Michael Elgin beat ACH. Near the end of the match Elgin got frustrated and grabbed the ring bell to use as a weapon, but then thought better of it and put it back on the table.

Elgin then hit a Bucklebomb followed by an Elgin Bomb for the win.

7. War Machine (Hanson & Rowe) beat The Kingdom (Michael Bennett & Matt Taven w/Maria Kanellis) by disqualification. Bennett came out carrying a gold-colored bowling pin. Finish saw War Machine go for Fallout on Taven when Bennett grabbed the golden pin and hit Rowe with it for a DQ.

8. Roderick Strong vs. Adam Cole ended in a no contest. The match was stopped when The Kingdom ran out and attacked Strong, followed by War Machine running out to fight The Kingdom. Fans began chanting for a Six-Man Tag, but Taven told the no. The Kingdom began heading to the back, and Strong said they're not getting away with it that easily. Strong said The Kingdom likes things that are easy…which is why Michael Bennett married Maria Kanellis. Bennett charged into the ring, and Strong hit him in the head with the microphone, before War Machine tossed him over the top rope onto The Kingdom. A referee got in the ring, and said to ring the bell.

9. The Kingdom (Adam Cole, Michael Bennett & Matt Taven w/Maria Kanellis) beat Roderick Strong & War Machine (Hanson & Rowe) in a Six-Man Tag Team match. Finish saw War Machine go for Fallout on Bennett, but Cole & Taven crotched him on the top rope. After taking out Strong & Rowe, Cole & Bennett gave Hanson dual superkicks to the back of the head followed by a spiked Piledriver, and lastly Taven hitting a Frog Splash for the win.

Today in Ring of Honor History: May 31

- 2003: Ring of Honor held "Do or Die" in Philadelphia, PA. The only "Do or Die" that was a main show, the show featured new wrestlers trying to impress the fans and management, as well as established stars trying out new roles. CM Punk had a busy night, as he not only wrestled a Four Corner Survival match against Christopher Daniels and the debuting Frankie Kazarian and Jimmy Rave, but also teamed with Colt Cabana to face the Briscoe Brothers, Carnage Crew and Special K, as well as beginning his tenure as commentator on the DVDs. In addition to being his first ROH match against Rave, the Four Corner Survival also started laying the groundwork for the eventual feud between the Second City Saints and The Prophecy. While Rave walked away with a regular spot in ROH, Kazarian did not, and it'd be eleven years before he was brought in again. Future ROH Pure Champion John Walters made his debut against Andy Anderson, and Tony Mamaluke returned after a six month absence to face Jason Cross. Homicide received his first shot at the ROH World Championship, but lost when Samoa Joe debuted a new finisher, the Muscle Buster (which thankfully he modified to a safer version). Like CM Punk, both were busy that night, as Joe continued the feud between The Group and The Prophecy by attacking Dan Maff in the locker and fighting with Christopher Daniels after the show, while Homicide's feud with Trent Acid spilled over from CZW. Before being attacked backstage, Maff wrestled his future tag team partner BJ Whitmer, and set the stage for his future showdown against Low Ki at "Bitter Friends, Stiffer Enemies" [8/16/03]. Acid teamed with his Backseat Boyz partner Johnny Kashmere to face Special K's Jody Fleisch and Slim J in the continuation of their angle from "The Epic Encounter" [4/12/03]. And Matt Stryker scored a shocking win over the king of the independents, "Reckless Youth" Tom Carter.

- 2013: After months of relentless bullying from the Ring of Honor fans, a distraught Matt Hardy released an emotional anti-bullying video online.

D. Persephone beat Alexis Laree

- Promo from Homicide, saying before he was Homicide, he was a gangster named Dee who got locked up for robbing, but everything changed in 1996 when his son was born. Since becoming a father, he's sacrificed everything for his kid. Tonight he has another sacrifice to make: beating Samoa Joe to become the new ROH World Champion.

- Special K was Special K-ing on "Deranged's R U Hizigh Cam".

1. Dan Maff (w/Allison Danger) beat BJ Whitmer. Finish saw Maff distract the referee when Whitmer was climbing the turnbuckle for a dive, allowing Danger to crotch him on the top rope. Maff then picked up Whitmer for a Burning Hammer for the win. Post match Julius Smokes came out and said Maff had been bamboozled and hoodwinked, and he's forgotten where he comes from. Maff and Smokes began arguing, when Low Ki came out with his arm in a sling and said Maff now needs the help of a woman to prove he's a man. Low Ki said because of what he's done, one day it's going to be Low Ki versus Dan Maff, and if Maff is wearing The Prophecy's colors on that day, may God help him. After The Prophecy left, Low Ki turned his attention to Smokes, saying he's standing in a ring for athletes, not thugs. The streets don't belong here, and neither does Julius Smokes. Smokes took off his hoodie while Low Ki took off his sling, and Homicide came out to calm them both down. Low Ki said the real reason he is here is because it is an important night in the career of Homicide, because tonight is the night for him to finally get the credit he deserves by becoming the new ROH World Champion. In order to do so, though, he doesn't need any distractions, so he needs to get Julius Smokes out of Ring of Honor. As Low Ki began heading to the back with Smokes yelling after him, Trent Acid ran out through the crowd and Yakuza Kicked Homicide before running off (as a continuation of their storyline in CZW).

2. Tony Mamaluke beat Jason Cross

- Footage from before the show of Iceberg, with "ROH" written in thumbtacks on his forehead, thanking Rob Feinstein for booking him for the show. The Outcast Killaz overheard and wanted to know why Iceberg was booked over them when they're working ring crew. Feinstein said Iceberg is crazy, so if they want to tell him he's not booked, go right ahead, because he's not going to. The Outcast Killaz said they want a shot, so Feinstein said they can have one…against Iceberg. Oh, and if they survive the match, they can be the ones to tell Iceberg he's no longer being booked.

3. Iceberg beat Oman Tortuga (w/Diablo Santiago). Post match the fans chanted "Don't come back" at Iceberg. Santiago tried to check on Tortuga, and Iceberg laid him out. Iceberg picked up a spike, and The Ring Crew Express ran out and tried to attack him, before pulling The Outcast Killaz out of the ring.

4. Matt Stryker beat Tom Carter. Finish saw Carter go for an Inverted Cloverleaf, but Stryker countered into a rollup for the win. Post match Carter refused to shake hands with Stryker, and Gary Michael Cappetta came out to remind him of the Code of Honor. Carter said he would've won with his hold, but then Stryker beat him with a cheap pin, because it seems he doesn't know who Carter is. He's the king of the independents Reckless Youth, who pioneered the junior style all those marks in the locker room copy. And how does Ring of Honor book him? They put him in a crappy Four-Way ["The Epic Encounter" - 4/12/03], and then he gets screwed out of his tap out victory tonight. Well just like he reinvent the junior style here in America, he's going to reinvent the technical style as well. Carter challenged Styler to a Tap Out match at the next Philadelphia show. Stryker said a second match isn't going to change the fact he beat him tonight. And while Carter is right he's reinvented styles in independent wrestling, in ROH it's about winning, and by beating Carter tonight, Stryker is now in the Top Five rankings. Stryker said if Carter wants a Tap Out match, he'll agree, on the condition Carter shakes his hand right now. Allison Danger came out and told Carter not to shake hands, but instead come to the back, because Christopher Daniels is waiting for him. Carter shook hands with Stryker, and Danger left. (The rematch between Styker and Carter never took place.)

- Backstage Samoa Joe ran into Gary Michael Cappetta and told him he had two big scoops for him. The first is if you think he's going to let a common thug take the ROH World Championship from him tonight, you're out of your mind. For the second, Joe asked Cappetta if he remembered The Prophecy kicking his ass at the end of "Retribution: Round Robin Challenge II" [4/26/03]. Well instead of telling Cappetta the scoop, Joe said it'd be better if he just showed him. Joe brought Cappetta into the locker room where Dan Maff was changing, and kneed Maff in the face. Joe told Maff to remember he did this to him, and Cappetta told Joe he went way over the line, and started calling for help.

5. Second City Saints (CM Punk & Colt Cabana w/Lucy) beat the Briscoe Brothers (Jay & Mark Briscoe), the Carnage Crew (Loc & DeVito) and Special K (Izzy & Dixie w/Hydro, Angel Dust, Cloudy & Slugger) in a Tag Team Scramble match. End of the match everyone began hitting dives to the floor, when Cabana crotched Izzy on the top turnbuckle. Cabana then hit a Colt 45 of Dixie, followed by Punk giving Izzy a Pepsi Plunge onto him, with Punk pinning Izzy for the win. Post match Punk said everyone just witnessed the first two casualties in his revolution, because straightedge means he's better than you. Punk used to think he was alone, but now when he comes to Philadelphia he sees a few independent thinkers in the crowd who throw up the X just like him. Those are his soldiers in his revolution, while the rest of the fans are weak and need pills and weed to get through their lives. Ten years ago Raven had his own revolution, and where are his followers now. Punk saw Hat Guy in the front row, and said after following Raven he's still wearing the same ratty hat and stupid shirt. On June 28 ["Wrestlerave 2003"], Punk's revolution is going to destroy Raven's. Cabana took the microphone away, and said Punk should name his revolution the "Cabana Boat". Get on the boat! Lucy said she's with him on the name, and Cabana asked her to be his girlfriend. Lucy said she can't, and Punk told him to get the hell out of the ring.

- Backstage during intermission, Gary Michael Cappetta interviewed BJ Whitmer, saying he's had a string of bad luck. [Don't really know what was said, as my copy started glitching before skipping to the next match.]

6. Andy Anderson beat John Walters



7. Four Corner Survival match: Christopher Daniels (w/Allison Danger) vs. CM Punk (w/Lucy) vs. Frankie Kazarian vs. Jimmy Rave

Result

SPOILER: Click to show

{Spoiler}{Spoiler}{Spoiler}{Spoiler}Christopher Daniels (w/Allison Danger) beat CM Punk (w/Lucy), Frankie Kazarian and Jimmy Rave in a Four Corner Survival match. Mid-match Danger and Lucy nearly came to blows after Danger tripped Punk and Lucy tripped Daniels, but Punk and Daniels stopped them. Daniels pinned Kazarian after a Last Rights. Post match Daniels said ever since Steve Corino started The Group, he's been looking for new members for The Prophecy, and right now he sees three great candidates. Kazarian put on a hell of a showing at both the ECWA Super 8 and tonight, and Rave had three people kicking his ass but he still came back for more. After they left, Daniels turned his attention to Punk, saying they have a lot in common. They're both from Chicago, they both know how to kick ass, and they both follow their own set of rules. Daniels wanted to know, hypothetically speaking, what Punk's answer would be if he was offered a spot in The Prophecy, and Punk said, hypothetically speaking, that it would seem like Daniels was scared. It would seem that maybe Daniels is afraid the Second City Saints will surpass The Prophecy, and so maybe Daniels is afraid of having to face CM Punk one-on-one. Ever since he was a little punker, people have been trying to get Punk to do things he's sworn against, so not hypothetically speaking, he will join The Prophecy on one condition: Daniels does something he's sworn against and shakes Punk's hand right now. Daniels teased shaking his hand, but then said no, and Punk said at some point down the line, Daniels is a dead man. Daniels said when they do face each other, he's going to drop Punk like a bag of dirt.

8. The Backseat Boyz (Trent Acid & Johnny Kashmere) beat Special K (Jody Fleisch & Slim J w/Izzy, Dixie, Hydro, Angel Dust, Cloudy & Slugger). Near the end of the match both teams began brawling in the crowd, where Special K took out The Backseat Boyz after simultaneous dives off of some randomly placed scaffolding (which injured Fleisch's knee). Special K carried them back to the ring, where Slim J went for a pin on Acid, but he kicked out at two. End of the match Slim J climbed the turnbuckle for a dive, but The Backseat Boyz stopped him and hit a T Gimmick off the top rope for the win.

9. Samoa Joe (c) beat Homicide (w/Julius Smokes) to retain the ROH World Championship. Mid-match Smokes pulled a table from under the ring, and Homicide propped it up against the guardrail, before hitting a tope con hilo on Joe through it. After Joe got Homicide in The Choke, Low Ki came out to cheer Homicide on. A short while later, when an exhausted Homicide was draped over the bottom rope, Low Ki yelled at him to get the f*** up and slapped him across the face, which fired him up. End of the match Low Ki and Smokes began arguing with each other while Homicide setup Joe for a top rope Ace Crusher. The argument distracted Homicide, allowing Joe to hook him for a top rope Muscle Buster for the win (unlike the traditional Muscle Buster where both wrestlers land on their backs, in the original one Joe sat straight down, with Homicide coming down neck first across Joe's shoulder). Post match officials came out to check on Homicide and help him to the back.

- Backstage Samoa Joe said his swollen eye is just a small sample of what it means to be ROH World Champion. The title isn't coveted by people just looking for a paycheck, it's coveted by people who live and die professional wrestling. Joe's swollen face means nothing, because he is still ROH World Champion. Christopher Daniels and The Prophecy started the war, and Joe will do whatever it takes to finish it.

- Christopher Daniels was in the ring after the show and started calling out Samoa Joe. Joe ran out and the two started brawling, until a bunch of people came out of nowhere to break them up. As Daniels was being escorted to the back, he kept yelling this wasn't going to happen when he gets his shot at the ROH World Championship. Backstage Daniels said if ROH wanted to see The Prophecy self-destruct and The Group take away everything they've earned, they got what they wanted. At "Night of the Grudges" [6/14/03] The Prophecy and The Group are meeting in their first match, and The Prophecy is going to end it in one shot.

I vividly remember the day that Matt Hardy video dropped, probably the first spark of him getting back in the greater wrestling community's favor.

Also, the Kazarian match on that 2003 show I believe was Kazarian's only match with ROH until Daniels brought him along for his return. I remember that four-way being on Daniel's second ROH comp (in the single disc original DVD era) and a pretty fun match.

D. AJ Summers & Rudy Russo beat Carson & Ricky Starks

1. Kyle O'Reilly (w/Bobby Fish) beat Mike Sydal

- Ernie Zuniga of the Sinclair Broadcasting owned Fox San Antonio thanked the fans for watching ROH on their channel for the past two years. Zuniga then addressed an incident from the day before, when Steve Corino called into his show and hijacked Zuniga's interview with ACH. Zuniga said in addition to mocking him personally, Corino mocked the city of San Antonio, so he'd like the fans to show their appreciation of that when Corino comes out later. Corino came out through the crowd and said he should've realized how stupid the people of San Antonio are when the people on "Bernie"'s show couldn't spell his name right. Corino said no one famous has ever come from San Antonio; a fan yelled out something, and Corino said he'd never heard of "Shawn Michaels" and wanted to know if he was Mexican. Fans began chanting "HBK", and Corino said they are stupider than he thought they were, because the initials of the promotion are "ROH". Corino told "Bernie" he is lucky he's not a wrestler, because Corino would beat him up, just like he could beat up everyone in San Antonio. Mark Briscoe came out and said it sounds like Corino wants to fight, but Corino said he's no longer a wrestler, he's a broadcast journalist. Mark said fine, bring out Corino's boyfriend Matt Hardy, and he'll whip his tail. Corino yelled at Mark to mind his P's and Q's about Matt Hardy, because Matt Hardy is an icon and a legend. Mark said "Fatt Hardy", and Corino yelled at him not to say another word about Matt Hardy, or else they're going to go at it. Mark said, "Matt Hardy is a big ol' steamin' pile of Texas longhorn shit", and dems fightin' words.

2. Mark Briscoe beat Steve Corino by disqualification. End of the match Jimmy Jacobs & Rhett Titus ran out and pulled the referee from the ring after Mark hit a top rope splash. Mark began fighting them off, when Corino hit him with a chain, resulting in a DQ. Post match S.C.U.M. held up Mark while Corino began tuning up the band for some Sweet Chin Music, but BJ Whitmer & Michael Elgin ran out and chased them off. Whitmer said SCUM has another thing coming if they think they're going to run the numbers on ROH tonight, because he & Elgin are going to face Jacobs & Titus in a Tornado Tag Team match. Elgin said tonight Honor lives, because SCUM is leaving in body bags.



3. Athena vs. Barbi Hayden

{Spoiler}Athena beat Barbi Hayden

4. Eddie Edwards beat Matt Taven in a Proving Ground match

5. Jay Lethal beat ACH. Post match Lethal said ACH is amazing, and it was an honor to wrestle him.

- Bobby Fish came out with Kyle O'Reilly for his match, and said he's always wanted to come to Texas, because there's something he's always wanted to do. Fish began singing "Deep in the Heart of Texas", and when the fans sang along, he said he couldn't believe they fell for that. If Fish told them to jump, would they say "how high"? Fish knew they were a bunch of hillbillies, but that was really podunk.

6. Bobby Fish (w/Kyle O'Reilly) beat Raymond Rowe

7. Roderick Strong beat Adam Cole. Post match Cole blew off the Code of Honor handshake.

8. S.C.U.M. (Jimmy Jacobs & Rhett Titus) beat Team ROH (BJ Whitmer & Michael Elgin) in a Tornado Tag Team match. After brawling their way around the building at the start of the match, both teams eventually made their way to the ring. Near the end of the match Steve Corino ran in and hit Elgin in the back of the head with a chain after he gave Jacobs a Bucklebomb. Corino teased hitting Whitmer with the chain, but Mark Briscoe ran out with a bullrope, and Corino dropped the chain and ran off. Titus picked up the chain and tried to hit Whitmer with it, but Whitmer kicked him off. Whitmer then tried to give Titus an Exploder Suplex, but Jacobs rolled him up, with Titus piling on for the win.

9. Jay Briscoe (c) beat Davey Richards to retain the ROH World Championship

D. Flip Gordon beat Dalton Castle, PJ Black and Rush in a Four Corner Survival match

1. Colt Cabana (c) beat Mark Briscoe to retain the NWA National Championship. Post match Jay Briscoe ran out and attack Cabana, before holding him so Mark could hit him in the head with the title belt.

- Promo from Shane Taylor, saying the best part about revenge is the look on the faces of people who told you what you wouldn't become. Taylor being the ROH World Television Champion is revenge, because he wasn't supposed to be in ROH, let alone be successful. Now that he is, he can't think of a better way to celebrate than by shoving down the throats of every fan and official who doubted by him having the greatest TV title run of all time. The ultimate ROH company man Jay Lethal holds the record for longest reign and most defenses of the title, but Taylor is going to shatter both of those records. And by the time he's done, everyone will have no choice but to call him the baddest champion in history.

- Promo from The Allure, saying it's perfect they're making their ROH in-ring debut at an event named after them: "Best in the World 2019" [6/28/19]. They said they'll face the bitter, petty two-time WOH World Champion Kelly Klein and Jenny Rose, but they'll do it on their time. Byeeee.

- Silas Young came out and said for the past few weeks, the fans have had the honor and privilege of watching him exhibit pro wrestling prowessness in its purest form, and prove he is the best pure wrestler in the world today. Jonathan Gresham has issued a challenge while he's off in Japan, so consider that challenge accepted. At "Best in the World 2019", it'll be Young vs. Gresham in a Pure Rules match. Before they get to that match, though, it appears someone else has a problem with Silas and wants to avenge his father's loss [Ep. #403 - taped 5/12/09]: El Hijo del Squid, Jr.

2. Silas Young beat El Hijo del Squid, Jr. in a Pure Rules match

- Promo from LifeBlood, saying they've lost some members, but things are now looking up. They've gone on a search for some of the best athletes in the world, and they may have found one in PJ Black. Actions speak louder than words, and PJ Black & LifeBlood have already won in Six-Man Tag Team matches [Ep. #404 - taped 5/12/19]. Black said at "Best in the World 2019", they're going to win the ROH World Six-Man Tag Team Championship.

3. Jay Lethal [0] beat Kenny King [1] by disqualification in the second match of the Best of Three Series. End of the match King and Lethal were on the floor getting counted out. Lethal got the back in the ring, and King started to, before deciding against it and heading towards the back. Lethal went after him and caught up at the timekeeper's table, where King hit him in the head with a microphone, resulting in the a DQ. Post match King continued to attack Lethal. Lethal began fighting back, but King kicked him in the ding-ding, before giving Lethal a Lethal Injection. King then wrapped a chair around Lethal's arm and hit a leg drop on it. King congratulated Lethal on tying the series, but asked if he feels like a winner right now. King said he could've beaten Lethal tonight, but when you kill a god, you don't do it in the shadows, you do it where the whole world can see. King told Lethal he'll see him a "Best in the World 2019".

- Promo from ROH World Champion Matt Taven, saying after two weeks of having to listen to Jeff "Slobs", they finally put an actual star on camera. "Best in the World 2019" is a week away (from air date), but even though it's named after Taven, you haven't heard anything from him, because all ROH wants to talk about is Cobb's accomplishments. No one has accomplished more than Taven, who won the Top Prospect Tournament, ROH World Television Championship, ROH World Tag Team Championship, ROH World Six-Man Tag Team Championship, won gold in CMLL and New Japan, and completed the grand slam by winning the ROH World Championship at Madison Square Garden. Taven doesn't know why they're wasting time on Cobb instead of talking about him, but he does know the title isn't going anywhere. At "Best in the World 2019", Taven will continue to rule over all of Ring of Honor. Enjoy the show, melvins.

1. PCO beat Jay Briscoe by disqualification. Mid-match Jay brought a chair into the ring, but the referee warned him not to use it, so Jay dropped it. Finish saw PCO climb the top rope for a PCO-Sault, when Jay picked up the chair and hit him in the head, resulting in a DQ. Post match the fans began chanting for Jay to hit the referee with the chair. Mark Briscoe came out as Jay back the ref into a corner, and the ref ran to the back. After beating down PCO, Mark gave him a Froggy Bow through a table, but all that did was wake him up. PCO then laid out the Briscoes, as security ran out to break them up.

- Promo from Mark Haskins, saying he's been wanting a match against Jeff Cobb for a long time, because he has mad respect for him and know they can bring out the best in each other. However, things haven't been going his way lately, so a win over a former ROH World Television Champion will do wonders for his career. Respect aside, he's coming to win, because he needs it for his family.

- Promo from Jeff Cobb, saying the interesting thing about working for ROH is he gets to face people he hasn't suplexed yet. Tonight he and Mark Haskins are having their first singles match against each other. Haskins may be a submission expert, but he's going up against a Hawaiian juggernaut who may throw him so hard he lands back in England.

- Backstage Brian Johnson saw Josh Woods taping up, and said there isn't enough bandages to fix the damage Woods has done to the Top Prospect Tournament. Johnson plans on bringing honor and prestige back to the tournament as this year's number one entrant. Johnson started to say he wasn't going to be a failure like Woods after he wins, but Woods gave him a look, and Johnson left.

- Bully Ray came out for his tag team match, and after berating Bobby Cruise, he let it be known he was disappointed in facing Coast 2 Coast. The only thing he liked about it was his partner was an upgrade from what he's used to: ROH World Television Champion Shane Taylor.

2. Bully Ray & Shane Taylor beat Coast 2 Coast (LSG & Shaheem Ali). Taylor pinned Ali after Greetings from 216.

1. The Kingdom (Vinny Marseglia & TK O'Ryan) beat The Bouncers (Beer City Bruiser & Brian Milonas). Finish saw Milonas try to suplex O'Ryan off the top rope, but Marseglia grabbed Milonas' leg, allowing O'Ryan to counter into a crossbody for the win. Post match The Bouncers offered The Kingdom beers to do a Toast of Honor, which The Kingdom excepted. O'Ryan said ROH is for elite tag teams, and there was no doubt in his mind The Bouncers are an elite tag team. However, tonight The Bouncers proved they are just like all the fans: big, fat losers! The Kingdom poured out the beer, so The Bouncers laid them out.

- Promo from Matt Taven, saying beware of the quiet man, because he watches while others speaks, and strikes while others rest. The problem is that Taven will never rest, because he has worked harder than anyone in history to become ROH World Champion, and he is still not satisfied. His finish line isn't anywhere in sight, and he still has work to be done. So he'll beware of the quiet man, so long as the quiet man knows he's the ROH World Champion, and his bark is as big as his bite.

- Promo from Tracy Williams, saying he's heading into the biggest match of his career, and he doesn't take this opportunity lightly, as the ROH World Championship has been held by some of the best wrestlers in history. Matt Taven has added his name to that list, and Williams hopes he's enjoyed his time as champion, because he's coming to take the title away. The Kingdom is banned from ringside, and he' knows he can beat Taven one-on-one, so he's leaving with the belt tonight.

- Promo from Brian Johnson, saying Josh Woods is the biggest bust in the history of the Top Prospect Tournament, while he's this year's number one pick. Tonight, Johnson is going to show why there's only one number one.

- Promo from Josh Woods, saying he's based his career on the idea that less is more. Brian Johnson likes to run his mouth, so tonight he's going to find out thats Woods let his actions do the talking.

2. Josh Woods beat Brian Johnson

3. Matt Taven (c) beat Tracy Williams to retain the ROH World Championship. Mid-match Taven tried to walk out with the title, but Williams stopped him. After returning to the ring, Taven removed one of the turnbuckle pads. End of the match, Taven poked the referee in the eyes when Williams was spinning him around, then threw Williams shoulder-first into the exposed turnbuckle. Taven then hit The Climax for the win.

Today in Ring of Honor History: June 2

- 2018: Ring of Honor held a television taping in New York, NY. Ultimo Guerrero and Titan made the trip from CMLL to participate, with Guerrero taking on Matt Taven in a rematch from a year prior [Ep. #303 - taped 6/24/17], and Titan facing Cody. It was a night of Six-Man action, as The Young Bucks and Adam Page of Bullet Club teamed up to face the ROH World Tag Team Champions The Briscoe and Punishment Martinez in the main event of the first episode, while the fourth episode was largely dedicated to a Gauntlet match to determine the number one contenders for the ROH World Six-Man Tag Team Championship, with the makeshift team of Kenny King, Chuck Taylor and Eli Isom defeating SoCal Uncensored to get the title shot. King and Taylor pulled double duty on the tapings, with Taylor also facing Jay Lethal in a singles match, while King took on Jonathan Gresham in their only singles match together in ROH. Cheeseburger continued his feud with Bully Ray, meeting him in a No Disqualification match. WOH World Champion Sumie Sakai teamed up with Stella Grey against Gabby Ortiz and Riley Shepard, Jenny Rose faced Kelly Klein, and Josh Woods took on Façade.

- 2019: ROH closed out their first and only tour in the Pacific Northwest with "State of the Art 2019" in Portland, OR. The main event saw the return of the Defy or Deny match, with Matt Taven taking on Flip Gordon, Mark Haskins, and ROH World Six-Man Tag Team Champion PCO. The Bouncers won a shot at the ROH World Tag Team Championship after winning a Gauntlet match involving Coast 2 Coast, The Kingdom, the Varos Twins, Silas Young and ROH World Television Champion Shane Taylor, and the wild card team of Dalton Castle and Rush. Former rivals Jay Lethal and Jay Briscoe found themselves squaring off one more time. Mark Briscoe faced Josh Woods, Jeff Cobb took on PJ Black, and Tracy Williams accepted Bully Ray's open challenge.

The most notable part of the show, however, did not take place in front of the camera, but backstage. After a Women of Honor match between Mazzerati and Danika Della Rouge, The Allure came out for their usual heel shtick. While they were out there, Velvet Sky, backed up by Mandy Leon, got into an altercation with a fan, who was subsequently escorted backstage on orders of Bully Ray. The resulting He Said/She Said led to an internal investigation from ROH, with Sky (as far as I know) not being seen on Ring of Honor shows again.

- 2021: On Women's Division Wednesday, Willow and Alex Garcia made their debuts, facing each other in a singles match.

On a much lighter note, I was oblivious to the whole situation being on commentary and enjoyed a great night that involved walking around Portland with Colt, getting Voodoo Donuts, and accidentally walking into a drive through/walk-in, pop-up gentleman's club that was next to Voodoo at the time.

Colt also is like a bazillion miler on United and I rarely fly United so he got me into the lounge that next morning and I had lots of free peanuts.

Today in Ring of Honor History: June 3

- 2006: Ring of Honor held "Destiny" in East Windsor, CT. The rivalry between Homicide and Bryan Danielson was renewed when Homicide challenged for the ROH World Championship for the first time in nine months. Homicide was seemingly the savior of ROH after coming to their aid against CZW at "Ring of Homicide" [5/13/06], but when the referee stopped the match for his safety, Homicide snapped after feeling like he'd been screwed out of the title yet again, and appeared to reach his breaking point with the promotion. With the threat of Homicide seemingly dealt with, Danielson turned his attention to his next big threat, Samoa Joe, attacking him when he came out to help calm down Homicide (who was trying to destroy the referee for stopping the match). Surprisingly that match wasn't the main event, with that spot instead going to The Briscoes again challenging Generation Next for the ROH Tag Team Championship in a rematch from "Ring of Homicide". That match ended up being the last stand for GeNext, as with Jack Evans busy competing internationally and Matt Sydal off doing his own thing, Aries disbanded the group and dropped the "Generation Next" name, saying from now on it's just Austin Aries and Roderick Strong. Colt Cabana continued his climb back up the mountain following his five minute loss at "The 100th Show", defeating Adam Pearce, Delirious and Jason Blade in a Four Corner Survival match to earn another shot at the ROH World Championship. After their first match was interrupted by a CZW invasion at the "Fourth Anniversary Show" [2/25/06], former Prophecy members Christopher Daniels and BJ Whitmer met in a rematch to finally settle their issues with each other. Dragon Gate wrestler Shingo Takagi made his return, facing Ricky Reyes of The Rottweilers, who went 0-2 for the night. Also having an unsuccessful night was The Embassy, with Jimmy Rave losing to the debuting Davey Richards, while Daizee Haze lost to the debuting Sara Del Rey. And Shane Hagadorn defeated Derek Dempsey to become the new Top of the Class Trophy holder.

- 2016: ROH kicked off the "Road to Best in the World 2016" tour in Collinsville, IL. The main event saw ROH World Champion Jay Lethal team up with ROH World Tag Team Champions The Addiction to face his upcoming challenger Jay Briscoe and the former tag champs War Machine in a Six-Man Tag Team match. Stevie Richards made his return, competing in a Four Corner Survival match against Moose, Roderick Strong and Silas Young. With the countdown on to Steve Corino and BJ Whitmer finally meeting in the ring, Colby Corino made his return, looking for a measure of revenge on Whitmer for the beating he gave him back in January [ROH TV: Ep. #228 - taped 1/9/16]. Kamaitachi faced his biggest test thus far in his Ring of Honor excursion, taking on former ROH World Champion Adam Cole. Chris Sabin faced Adam Page in a No Disqualification match, while his partner Alex Shelley wrestled their future ally Lio Rush. The All-Night Express squared off against the returning Shane Taylor and Keith Lee. Set to face Silas Young at the pay-per-view [6/24/16], ACH first had to contend with Young's friend Beer City Bruiser. Mark Briscoe wrestled Jason Kincaid, Dalton Castle took on Caprice Coleman, and Taeler Hendrix faced Jessica James.

- 2017: ROH held "Road to Best in the World 2017" in Chicago Ridge, IL. The event was Ring of Honor's last in the Frontier Fieldhouse, ROH's Chicago home for thirteen years. The first half the show was recorded for television, while the second half was released as a VOD. In the TV taping, The Young Bucks successfully defended the ROH World Tag Team Championship against Coast 2 Coast and The Tempura Boyz in a Three-Way match, before also defending it against Cheeseburger and Will Ferrara on the main show. After their unsuccessful challenge, the partnership of Cheeseburger and Ferrara came to an end when Ferrara attacked his partner after months of frustration. Kenny King won a future shot at the ROH World Television Championship by defeating Beer City Bruiser, Chris Sabin and Mark Briscoe in a Four Corner Survival match. Jay White faced Punishment Martinez in a rematch from "Masters of the Craft" [4/29/16], continuing their feud. Bobby Fish took on Silas Young, Jay Briscoe faced Josh Woods, and Jonathan Gresham wrestled Flip Gordon in their first match against each other. On the main show, ROH World Champion Christopher Daniels teamed with his partner Frankie Kazarian to face his upcoming challenger Cody and his Bullet Club teammate Adam Page. Bully Ray took on Matt Taven in a Street Fight, Colt Cabana wrestled Vinny Marseglia, Jay Lethal faced Caprice Coleman, and Dalton Castle teamed with The Boys against The Rebellion.

Today in Ring of Honor History: June 4

- 2005: Ring of Honor held "New Frontiers" in Williamsville, NY. In a role reversal from "Stalemate" [4/16/05], Spanky challenged Austin Aries for the ROH World Championship, while James Gibson challenged for the ROH Pure Championship, now held by Samoa Joe. Rounding out the title matches, BJ Whitmer and Jimmy Jacobs defended the ROH Tag Team Championship against The Ring Crew Express, who despite being "the top tag team in Ring of Honor" since 2002, were challenging for the titles for only the second time. With his own feud over, CM Punk helped Colt Cabana with his, teaming with him to face Nigel McGuinness and Chad Collyer in a grudge match. Also continuing their feud, Alex Shelley and Roderick Strong met in a rematch from "The Final Showdown" [5/13/05]. After serving the Carnage Crew's 90-day suspension ["Third Anniversary Celebration: Part 1" - 2/19/03], Loc made his return, taking on Cheech of Lacey's Angels. In a match that would be a bigger deal years later, Homicide faced Kevin Steen for the first time in ROH. Future ROH Tag Team Champion Sal Rinauro made his main show debut, teaming with El Generico against The Embassy. And Davey Andrews won a Three-Way match over Shane Hagadorn and The New York City Masked Superstar.

- 2016: ROH continued the "Road to Best in the World 2016" tour in Indianapolis, IN. The main event saw the Motor City Machine Guns take on Adam Cole and Adam Page of Bullet Club. ROH World Champion Jay Lethal wrestled Mark Briscoe in a non-title match, while his upcoming challenger Jay Briscoe faced Moose. Former ROH World Tag Team Champions War Machine split up to face the reigning champs in singles matches, with Hanson taking on Frankie Kazarian, while Rowe delt with Christopher Daniels. Dalton Castle teamed up with Stevie Richards against The All-Night Express. Kamaitachi scored his biggest victory thus far into his ROH tenure, winning a Six Man Mayhem match over ACH, Jason Kincaid, Lio Rush, Roderick Strong and Will Ferrara. Silas Young and Beer City Bruiser took on Shane Taylor and Keith Lee, Cheeseburger faced Caprice Coleman, BJ Whitmer wrestled Matt Sells, and Kelly Klein squared off against Jessica James.

- 2017: ROH held "Gateway to Gold" in Collinsville, IL. The show featured a 10-Man Gauntlet match, with the winner challenging Christopher Daniels for the ROH World Championship. However, when the final match between Jay White and Punishment Martinez ended in a draw, Daniels decided to take on both of them in a Three-Way match. The Motor City Machine Guns found themselves once against taking on Bullet Club's Adam Page, this time teaming with Cody (as Adam Cole had sadly been killed). After a false start a few months earlier, Bobby Fish made his final appearing before departing for NXT, facing Jay Lethal. ROH World Six-Man Tag Team Champions Bully Ray and Mark Briscoe teamed up against Silas Young and Beer City Bruiser, while their partner Jay Briscoe went solo against Shane Taylor. Frankie Kazarian wrestled Flip Gordon, and Coast 2 Coast took on The Rebellion.

- 2021: ROH aired their latest episode of television from Baltimore, MD. The 2021 Survival of the Fittest tournament kicked off, with former MexiSquad partners Rey Horus and the rebranded Demonic Flamita meeting in the first match. The main event also saw former partners collide, as Silas Young tried to prove his superiority over Josh Woods in a Pure Rules match.

Today in Ring of Honor History: June 5

- 2015: Ring of Honor continued the "Road to Best in the World 2015" tour in Collinsville, IL. The main event saw ROH World Champion Jay Briscoe team up with Roderick Strong to face Michael Elgin and Moose. The match was a warmup for the pay-per-view [6/19/15], as Elgin, Strong and Moose were scheduled to meet in a Three-Way match to determine the new number one contender for the ROH World Championship. ROH World Television Champion Jay Lethal took on Rowe in a non-title match. Rowe's partner Hanson took on Matt Taven of The Kingdom, with his partner Michael Bennett taking on Dalton Castle. Hometown heroes and longtime friends/rivals Delirious and Matt Sydal teamed up to face ROH World Tag Team Champions The Addiction in a non-title match. Mark Briscoe took on Adam Page, BJ Whitmer wrestled The Romantic Touch, and Cheeseburger tried to hold his own against Silas Young.

- 2016: Ring of Honor continued the "Road to Best in the World 2016" tour in Columbus, OH. While one year before they were teaming together, the main event this time saw Jay Briscoe and Roderick Strong facing in a singles match, their last ever against each other. In another coincidence match, one year after taking on Silas Young, Cheeseburger took on Young's partner Beer City Bruiser. Two nights after facing each other in a Six-Man Tag Team match, and one night after dual singles match, former ROH World Tag Team Champions War Machine and the reigning champions The Addiction met in a rematch for the titles, this time No Disqualification. However, War Machines efforts to reclaim the belts were thwarted thanks to Shane Taylor and Keith Lee. ROH World Champion Jay Lethal took Bullet Club's Adam Page in a non-title match. Adam Cole faced Lio Rush, Mark Briscoe took on Stevie Richards, Dalton Castle squared off against Kamaitachi, ACH took on Caprice Coleman, and the Motor City Machine Guns met The All-Night Express. And in the most heated contest of the night, BJ Whitmer tried to overcome the fans to cut a promo to build up his long awaited showdown with Steve Corino. Fans - 1, Whitmer - 0.

D. Mike Sydal, Brandon Espinosa & Paco Gonzalez beat Everett Connors, Jake Dirden & Kevin Lee Davidson in a Six-Man Tag Team match

1. Mark Briscoe beat Adam Page (w/BJ Whitmer)

2. Silas Young beat Cheeseburger

3. Michael Bennett (w/The Kingdom) beat Dalton Castle. A lot of interference from The Kingdom. While Castle and Bennett were fighting on the floor, Maria Kanellis removed one of the turnbuckle pads; as soon as they got back in the ring, Bennett threw Castle into the exposed turnbuckle. Mid-match Bennett poked the referee in the eye when Castle tried to give him a German Suplex, allowing Maria to run in an hit Castle in the back of the head with Bennett's IWGP Tag Team Championship belt. Bennett then gave Castle a Twist of Fate onto the title, but Castle kicked out at two. Near the end of the match Matt Taven ran in and tried to attack Castle when he went to finish off Bennett, but Castle caught him for a Tombstone Piledriver attempt. Taven countered by flipping Castle over into his own Tombstone attempt, followed by Castle countering back. After a dozen Tombstone reversals, both men were too dizzy to continue. Bennett charged at Castle, but he moved out of the way, causing Bennett to crash into Taven, knocking him out of the ring. Castle went for a Bang-A-Rang, but only got a two count. Castle then tried to pick Bennett up for a German Suplex, but Bennett grabbed Maria's hand to block it. As the referee was distracted by ordering Maria to let go, Taven ran in on the other side of the ring and superkicked Castle in the back of the head. Bennett then hit a Piledriver for the win.

- The Addiction came out said they are hotter than Tatooine and cooler than Hoth; they Jedi in the streets but Sith between the sheets. They are the smartest men here and the ROH World Tag Team Champions of the world, which makes them better than everyone else in this stinking town. St. Louis deserves the unemployment it has, and it deserves to smell like ass. What they don't deserve, though, is seeing The Addiction defend the titles.

4. Delirious & Matt Sydal beat The Addiction (Christopher Daniels & Frankie Kazarian). Near the end of the match Delirious got Kazarian in a Cobra Stretch, but Daniels pulled the referee out of the ring and threw him into the barricade. Finish saw Kazarian try to suplex Sydal off the top rope, but Delirious knocked them off and gave Kazarian a Panic Attack, followed by Sydal hit a Shooting Star Press, with a second referee running out to count the pin. Post match Delirious & Sydal began posing the ROH World Tag Team Championship, but Daniels ordered the referee to take the belts away because he said it was non-title. Delirious said…something. Sydal then translated, saying Delirious said they are St. Louis born and bred, and they will be ROH World Tag Team Champions.

5. BJ Whitmer (w/Adam Page) beat The Romantic Touch. End of the match Page jumped up on the ring apron and tried to punch Touch, but Touch blocked it and punched him back, before kissing him off the apron. Whitmer then hit a lariat and an Exploder Suplex for the win. Post match Page beat down RT.

6. Hanson beat Matt Taven. Mid-match Michael Bennett ran out and pulled Taven out of the ring when Hanson went for a splash in the corner. Near the end Maria Kanellis came out and distracted the referee to allow Bennett to try to hit Hanson with his IWGP Tag Team Championship belt, but Hanson threw Taven at Bennett, who almost him instead. Bennett stopped himself in time, but then Rowe ran out and pulled Bennett from the ring. Rowe knocked out Bennett with an elbow, while Hanson hit a Spin Kick of Doom on Taven for the win. Post math Hanson chased The Kingdom to the back. Rowe said The Kingdom's time is coming, but since he's already out here, send out a referee, because Jay Lethal's time is now.

7. Jay Lethal (w/Truth Martini) beat Rowe. Near the end of the match Rowe kicked Lethal in the chest, cause his head to snap back and one of the beads in his hair catching the referee in the eye. Rowe then had the match won after hitting a Death Rowe, but the referee couldn't see to count the pin. After checking on the referee, Martini tried to hit Rowe in the back of the head with The Book of Truth, but Rowe caught him. Rowe took the book away and dropped it in the ring, while Hanson ran down and pulled the Martini off the apron. Lethal picked up the book and hit Rowe in the back. Hanson saw and tried going after Lethal, but the referee stopped him, allowing Lethal to then hit Rowe in the face with it for the win.

8. Michael Elgin & Moose (w/Stokely Hathaway) beat Jay Briscoe & Roderick Strong. End of the match saw Strong tag himself him when Jay was trying to hook Moose for a J-Driller. Elgin tried to stop Jay with a lariat, but Jay ducked. Jay then when for a kick on Elgin, but he ducked as well, cause Jay to kick Strong off the ring apron. Elgin gave Jay a backfist and Bucklebomb, but when he went for the Elgin Bomb, Strong got back in the ring and hit a jumping knee. Moose then hit a Spear on Strong for the win.

- Jay Briscoe came out and said apparently ROH officials are worried about his health with him heading into challenging for the ROH World Champion at "Best in the World 2016" [6/24/16], and don't want him to compete tonight. Roderick Strong came out and said he couldn't blame the ROH officials, because if he faces Strong tonight, he will be too injured to compete in his big rematch for the title on pay-per-view. Strong said he's not going to take it personally if Jay is "too injured" to face him, so go to the back, pop open a few cold ones and rest up for the big match, you little bitch. Strong went to the back, and Jay said it was the ROH officials who said he shouldn't complete. Jay ain't never said he's not competing, and he'll be damned if he lets Strong talk to him like that, so he'll whoop his ass in the main event.

- Caprice Coleman came out and thanked the fans for being here even though there is a championship game going on with the Cleveland Cavaliers. On his way to the show he passed Ohio State, and what the heck kind of a team name is "Buckeye". Do they intimidate people by throwing nuts at them? They need a real name like "Wolverines". Coleman said the Cavs are going to be three-peat losers, because just like ACH, Ohio comes close but just can't do it.

1. ACH beat Caprice Coleman. Post match Silas Young came out and tried to sneak into the ring, but ACH caught him, and Young went to the back.

2. Mark Briscoe beat Stevie Richards

3. Beer City Bruiser (w/Silas Young) beat Cheeseburger. Post match Young said Cheeseburger not only has the crappiest name in wrestling, but he got beat again, because just like ACH, he's a child in a man's business. It's bad enough he has to listen to Cheeseburger and ACH talk about comic books in the back, but then they get cheered on by fans who are interested in Marvel movies, so Cheeseburger and ACH think they're a big deal. But just like the fans, Cheeseburger is weak and pathetic, so Young is going to do the same thing to him that he's going to do to ACH at "Best in the World". Young picked up Cheeseburger for Misery, but ACH ran out and chased him off.

4. Motor City Machine Guns (Alex Shelley & Chris Sabin) beat The All-Night Express (Rhett Titus & Kenny King). End of the match Sabin went for a sunset flip on King, but King sat down for a pin while holding the rope. The referee counted to two, then saw King holding the rope. The ref pulled King's hand off, and King thought the referee was raising his hand in victory and began celebrating, allowing MCMG to hit a series of double team moves before putting him away with a double Electric Chair, with Sabin getting the pin.

5. Jay Lethal (w/Taeler Hendrix) beat Adam Page. Near the end of the match Hendrix jumped up on the ring apron and began arguing with the referee when Page kicked out after Hail to the King. With the referee distracted, The Young Bucks ran in and Superkicked Lethal, followed by Page hitting a Buckshot Lariat, but King kicked out at two. The Bucks tried to interfere right in front of the referee when Lethal went to finish off Page, but it backfired, with Page accidently superkicking Nick, followed by Lethal giving Page and Matt a double Lethal Injection for the win.

- BJ Whitmer got in the ring to cut a promo on Steve Corino, but was unable to because the fans would not let him talk. For nearly ten minutes, they booed, heckled, chanted "We want wrestling" and "Cut his mic", and did everything they could to get under his skin and prevent him from talking, until he got so pissed off he threw down the microphone and stormed to the back, which got the biggest cheers of the night.

6. Dalton Castle (w/The Boys) beat Kamaitachi



7. Adam Cole vs. Lio Rush

{Spoiler}{Spoiler}Adam Cole beat Lio Rush. Bullet Club came out with Cole at the start of the match, but he sent them to the back. Post match Cole shook Rush's hand and gave him a hug, acting like Rush earned his respect, but it was a ruse to allow The Young Bucks to run in behind Rush and give him a Superkick. Bullet Club allowed Rush to get back to his feet for a Triple Superkick, but then ran when the Motor City Machine Guns came out to chase them off.

8. The Addiction (Christopher Daniels & Frankie Kazarian) (c) beat War Machine (Hanson & Rowe) in a No Disqualification match to retain the ROH World Tag Team Championship. Tables, chairs, trash cans, etc. used. Hanson was taken out for a long while when Daniels taped him to the ring post. End of the match, Shane Taylor & Keith Lee ran out and attacked War Machine, laying them out. The Addiction then put Hanson through a table for the win.

9. Roderick Strong beat Jay Briscoe

Today in Ring of Honor History: June 6

- 2008: Ring of Honor held "Up for Grabs" in Hartford, CT. With Mark Briscoe out injured, The Briscoes' fifth reign as ROH World Tag Team Champions came to an end as they were forced to vacate the titles. An eight-team tournament took place to crown the new champions, with The Age of the Fall defeating Kevin Steen and El Generico in the finals to become champions for the second time. Also participating in the tournament: the
No Remorse Corps, The Vulture Squad, Chris Hero and Adam Pearce of Sweet n' Sour, Inc., ROH World Champion Nigel McGuinness and Go Shiozaki, Austin Aries and Bryan Danielson, and Delirious and Pelle Primeau. Despite the tournament format, there was still room for storyline development. After being screwed in his two previous attempts at the ROH World Championship, Steen and McGuinness met in the opening round. And Austin Aries' hatred of Jimmy Jacobs led to him getting his team disqualified thirty seconds into the second round. In non-tournament action, Erick Stevens won a Three-Way match over Brent Albright and Necro Butcher, Claudio Castagnoli took on Sweet n' Sour, Inc. member Eddie Edwards, and Shane Hagadorn faced Alex Payne.

- 2014: ROH held "Road to Best in the World 2014: Night One" in Carbondale, IL. ACH challenged Adam Cole for the ROH World Championship after winning a Six Man Mayhem match over Caprice Coleman, Cedric Alexander, ROH World Tag Team Champion Kyle O'Reilly, Matt Taven and Silas Young. ROH World Television Champion Jay Lethal tried to weasel out of defending his title by facing fellow House of Truth member Seleziya Sparx, only to get shamed into defending it for real against Cheeseburger. ROH World Tag Team Champion Bobby Fish took on The Romantic Touch. Michael Elgin squared off against Jimmy Jacobs of The Decade, while BJ Whitmer and Tadarius Thomas faced The Briscoes. Delirious stepped out of the shadows to take on Michael Bennett, and Tommaso Ciampa met Ethan Gabriel Owens.

- 2015: ROH wrapped up the "Road to Best in the World 2015" tour in Nashville, TN. In the main event, The Addiction won a Four-Way Tag Team match over The Briscoes, The Kingdom and War Machine. The Kingdom pulled double duty, first warming up with a squash match against Danny Adams and Paco Gonzalez. Samson Walker challenged Jay Lethal for the ROH World Television Championship after winning a Three-Way match over Corey Hollis and Mike Posey. BJ Whitmer, Cheeseburger, Moose and Silas Young competed in a Four Corner Survival match. Roderick Strong took on Dalton Castle, Michael Elgin wrestled Matt Sydal, Adam Page faced Will Ferrara, and ODB squared off against The Romantic Touch.

Today in Ring of Honor History: June 7

- 2008: Ring of Honor taped "Respect Is Earned II" for pay-per-view in Philadelphia, PA. Celebrating one year of PPV, the show also seemingly marked the moments when Gabe Sapolsky said "screw it" on the continuity. While the first six PPV's can be watched on their own with natural story progression from one show to the next, this one was built almost entirely off of storylines from the regular shows. The main event saw new ROH World Tag Team Champions The Age of the Fall make their first defense in a heated contest against Austin Aries and Bryan Danielson (despite having no interaction on the previous PPVs). Nigel McGuinness defended the ROH World Championship against Go Shiozaki. Erick Stevens and Roderick Strong met in a Fight Without Honor, which if you'd been paying attention to ROH fulltime was a blowoff to a heated feud that went all the way back to The Resistance vs. No Remorse Corps, but if you'd just been watching the pay-per-views was a hardcore match that came from out of nowhere. One of the most notable moments from the show didn't make it to either the pay-per-view or DVD, when after the match Davey Richards turned on Strong to join Sweet n' Sour, Inc., ending the No Remorse Corps. Richards, for his part on the show, took on Claudio Castagnoli in an exhibition match, while Sweet n' Sour, Inc. had to deal with former member Brent Albright, who teamed with Delirious and Pelle Primeau against Chris Hero, Eddie Edwards, and Adam Pearce, who Sweeney finally got ROH to recognize as the NWA World Heavyweight Champion. Jigsaw pulled double duty on the taping, first teaming with Ruckus against Kevin Steen and El Generico in a match for the PPV, and then taking on Eddie Kingston in a DVD bonus match to end the mini-feud between The Vulture Squad and BLK OUT. In the other bonus match, Jay Briscoe and Necro Butcher once against met in a violent brawl, this time a Street Fight. And before the show, Rhett Titus defeated Ernie Osiris to become the new (and last) holder of the Top of the Class Trophy.

- 2014: ROH held "Road to Best in the World: Night Two" in Collinsville, IL. In their last stop before their big showdown on pay-per-view [6/22/14], Adam Cole defended the ROH World Championship against Tommaso Ciampa, while his upcoming challenger Michael Elgin took on Cole's friend and ally Michael Bennett. Elgin ended the show with less hair than he started with, as Cole and Bennett cut off his trademarked mullet. In the main event, The Briscoes challenged reDRagon for the ROH World Tag Team Championship. Matt Taven earned a future shot at the ROH World Television Championship by defeating Jay Lethal in a Proving Ground match. Cedric Alexander took on Decade young boy Tadarius Thomas, while his former partner Caprice Coleman faced BJ Whitmer. ACH wrestled Silas Young, and Ethan Gabriel Owens squared off Zizou Middoux.

D. Shane Hagadorn & Mitch Franklin beat The Osirian Portal (Ophidian & Amasis)

D. Rhett Titus beat Ernie Osiris (c) to WIN THE TOP OF THE CLASS TROPHY!!!

- Recap of the ROH World Tag Team Championship title changes since the last pay-per-view, with The Briscoes defeating the No Remorse Corps to become the new champions, having to vacate the belts due to Mark Briscoe's injury, and The Age of the Fall becoming the new champions at "Up for Grabs" [6/5/08].

1. Kevin Steen & El Generico beat The Vulture Squad (Ruckus & Jigsaw). Finish saw Steen & Generico hit a Yakuza Kick/Superkick combo on Jigsaw, followed by a Swanton/Big Splash combo, with Generico getting the pin.

2. Claudio Castagnoli beat Davey Richards

- Promo from Sweet n' Sour, Inc., saying Brent Albright made the mistake of his life by double crossing Larry Sweeney ["A New Level" - 5/10/08]. Adam Pearce tried show Albright the promise land, but he wouldn't listen when Pearce said Sweeney was going to take them straight to the top. Sweeney has already bypassed ROH's ignorance to give Pearce the greatest honor and glory, and soon everyone is going to see it.

- Promo from Brent Albright, saying Adam Pearce was like a brother to him, but then he sold The Hangmen 3 to that no good, yellow haired, bluetooth talkin', 12 Large, snakeskin boot wearin', bad suit havin' son of a bitch Larry Sweeney. Well Sweeney & Sweet n' Sour, Inc. found out that Albright does things his way. If Sweeney wants to put together a team, Albright can form his own army, starting with Delirious & Pelle Primeau. Primeau may not be the biggest or the strongest, but he has more heart than ten men put together. And when you put together an army, you need insanity, and ain't nobody more insane than Delirious. As for Sara Del Rey, Albright was raised to never hit a woman, so he's got Daizee Haze watching their backs.

3. Brent Albright, Delirious & Pelle Primeau (w/Daizee Haze) beat Sweet n' Sour, Inc. (Chris Hero, Adam Pearce & Eddie Edwards w/Larry Sweeney, Sara Del Rey, Shane Hagadorn & Bobby Dempsey) in a Six-Man Tag Team match. The referee stopped the match after Albright trapped Edwards' arms and repeatedly kneed him in the head. Post math Pearce hit Albright in the head with the leather briefcase, and Sweeney said that's what you get when you mess with Sweet n' Sour, Inc. Sweeney said for months everyone has wanted to know what's in the briefcase. There is one belt in pro wrestling that represents prestige, greatness and honor, and it's not the ROH World Championship…it's the NWA World Heavyweight Championship! Pearce is the NWA World Heavyweight Champion, and if Ring of Honor wants anything to do with the title, they have to go through Larry Sweeney.

4. Roderick Strong beat Erick Stevens in a Fight Without Honor. Tables, ladders and chairs used. Strong pinned Stevens after a Superplex off a ladder through a table. Post match (in a segment that was inexplicably left off the DVD), Larry Sweeney came out and offered Strong a contract to dissolve the No Remorse Corps and sign with Sweet n' Sour, Inc. Davey Richards came out to talk Strong into signing, but Strong once again refused, and threw the contract back at Sweeney. Richards then attacked Strong, before ripping off his NRC shirt to reveal a S&S, Inc. one and shaking hands with Sweeney.

5. Nigel McGuinness (c) beat Go Shiozaki to retain the ROH World Championship. Post match Bryan Danielson came out and said McGuinness has been ducking him for a long time. He wants at shot at the title, and he wants it on pay-per-view. Danielson said his challenge is officially laid down, and he hopes McGuinness is man enough to accept it.

6. The Age of the Fall (Jimmy Jacobs & Tyler Black) (c) beat Austin Aries & Bryan Danielson to retain the ROH World Tag Team Championship. The match was originally stopped a minute in when Aries and Jacobs began attacking each other with chairs, but the referee refrained from throwing out the match when Danielson and Black tried to calm down their partners. Danielson told Aries the best way to get back at Jacobs was to take the titles away, while Black told Jacobs if he gets disqualified, he won't have a chance to kill Aries like he wants. Both agreed to keep their cool, so the referee restarted the match. Aries and Jacobs obeyed the rules for most of the match, until the end when they fought each other to the back. Black pinned Danielson after a superkick, followed by God's Last Gift, and finally a Phoenix Splash. Post match Nigel McGuinness came out and said Danielson wants a shot at the best wrestler in the world, but he just lost to Tyler Black, who McGuinness beat on the last pay-per-view ["Take No Prisoners" - 3/16/08] . McGuinness said Danielson doesn't deserve a shot at the ROH World Championship, and he won't get one until he beats everyone McGuinness has beaten.

D. Jigsaw (w/Ruckus) beat Eddie Kingston (w/BLK OUT)

D. Necro Butcher beat Jay Briscoe in a Street Fight. Jay made them start the fight in the crowd. Chairs, scissors, the "Section D" sign, barricades, tables used. Mid-match The Age of the Fall ran out to help Necro, followed by Mark Briscoe running out to help Jay. After some double-teaming from the Briscoes, AOTF went to the back, with Mark chasing after them. Necro won after a Tiger Driver onto a turned over barricade.

D. Danny Adams beat Paco Gonzalez

1. Ethan Gabriel Owens beat Zizou Middoux

2. Cedric Alexander beat Tadarius Thomas (w/Jimmy Jacobs). End of the match Jacobs jumped up on the ring apron to distract Alexander, but it backfired with Thomas running into Jacobs and knocking him off the ring apron, allowing Alexander to hit a Lumbar Check for the win. Post match BJ Whitmer ran out to attack Alexander, but he quickly bailed out of the ring and headed to the back. Jacobs said Alexander thinks he's special, but he's seen a million guys like him come and go. Alexander may get away tonight, but at "Best in the World" [622/14], Roderick Strong is going to break him in half. Jacobs told Alexander to sit in the back and watch as Whitmer destroys his mentor Caprice Coleman.

3. Caprice Coleman beat BJ Whitmer (w/Jimmy Jacobs & Tadarius Thomas). Finish saw Coleman counter an Exploder Suplex into a rollup. Post match The Decade beat down Coleman, until Cedric Alexander ran out with a chair and chased them off.

- The House of Truth came out and called out The Romantic Touch, and said the truth is "Rhett Titus" can't honestly stand there in that stupid outfit and not feel ridiculous. What else is true is Jay Lethal facing him in a Proving Ground match is a gigantic waste of time. RT said if Lethal is so confident, why don't they do it right now. Lethal said he's not dressed to wrestle right now, but fine, he'll do it. He then sent The House of Truth to the back, saying it's just Rhett Titus so he doesn't need them.

4. Matt Taven beat Jay Lethal in a Proving Ground match to win a shot at the ROH World Television Championship. After stripping Lethal down to his underwear, The House of Truth came back out to back him up. Near the end of the match Lethal accidently ripped "The Romantic Touch"'s mask off, revealing it to actually be Taven. Taven won after an Angel's Wings followed by The Climax.

5. Michael Elgin vs. Michael Bennett (w/Maria Kanellis) ended in a No Disqualification match ended in a no contest. A few minutes into the match Bennett tried to hit Elgin with a chair to get disqualified. Elgin said he wouldn't let him off that easy, and said to make it a No Disqualification match. Chairs, barricades, and the ring bell used. Finish saw Elgin bridge a barricade across two chairs and pick up Bennett for a powerbomb onto it, when Adam Cole ran out and attacked him from behind, with the referee throwing the match out. Post match Cole & Bennett continued to attack Elgin, before zip tying him to the ring ropes. Cole then pulled out a pair of scissors and some clippers, and cut off Elgin's mullet. Cole then went to hit Elgin in the head with a chair, when Elgin's wife MsChif ran out and tried to stop them. Bennett grabbed MsChif, and Cole said they were in quiet the predicament. Cole said he knows he can get to Elgin physically because he's beaten him more times than he can count, and he knows he can get to him emotionally because he just called that piece of roadkill Elgin calls a mullet off his head. Cole said he'd let MsChif choose if they hurt him physically by bashing his head in with a chair, of if they hurt him emotionally by having her french kiss Cole and state publicly he's more of a man than Elgin. MsChif responded by spitting in Cole's face, so he teased hitting Elgin with the chair, before Bennett laid MsChif on the mat and Cole put her in the Figure Four. Cole & Bennett let go when Elgin managed to get one of his hands free, and security ran out to check on her as Cole began taunting Elgin with the ROH World Championship belt. After Cole & Co. went the back, Elgin was cut free and checked on MsChif, before snapping and laying out the members of security.

6. Silas Young beat ACH

- Adam Cole came out with a news flash that Adam Cole is the best in the world. Cole said he made it personal with Michael Elgin when he shave his stupid mullet off and sent his wife to the hospital. Anyone challenging Cole for the ROH World Championship makes it personal, and that include Tommaso Ciampa tonight.

7. Adam Cole (c) beat Tommaso Ciampa to retain the ROH World Championship. The referee was taken out when Caimpa began hitting a series of knee strikes on Cole in the corner, and Cole blocking them by grabbing the ref and pulling him in front of him as a shield. A short while later, Cole pushed Ciampa off the top rope through the timekeeper's table. Michael Bennett & Maria Kanellis inserted themselves into the match when Ciampa got Cole in the Sicilian Stretch, with Bennett running out and pulling the second referee from the ring and punching him in the face. After the first referee recovered, finish saw Ciampa hit a Project Ciampa on Cole, but Cole hooked Ciampa's arms and rolled him over for a crucifix pin.

8. reDRagon (Kyle O'Reilly & Bobby Fish) (c) beat The Briscoes (Jay & Mark Briscoe) to retain the ROH World Championship. Finish saw Fish throw one of the title belts into the ring to distract the referee when the Briscoes tried to finish off O'Reilly with a Doomsday Device. As the ref got rid of the belt, O'Reilly got free of Jay and hit a low blow. Fish then got in the ring behind Mark and kicked him in the back of the head, followed by reDRagon hitting Chasing the Dragon for the win.
