Honor Roll - Ring of Honor recap for September 2, 2017

The show begins with a no-disqualification street fight between Jay Lethal and The Beer City Bruiser already in progress.

Jay Lethal beats The Beer City Bruiser in a no-disqualification street fight after smashing the Bruiser's beer keg into his leg with a steel chair before locking in the Figure Four Leg Lock. During the match, "The Last Real Man" Silas Young tries to get into the ring, but he is stopped by security who are in place at the aisle to keep anyone from interfering. He briefly guests on commentary after he fails to find a way to ringside. After the match, Jay Lethal puts The Bruiser in the Figure Four a little while longer, then tries to get past security to get his hands on Silas Young.

We see the video package of Minoru Suzuki answering "The American Nightmare" Cody Rhodes' challenge for the ROH World Championship at Death Before Dishonor. We then see Cody Rhodes, who says that if one was like him or a wrestling fan, a debate arises: mixed martial artists vs. wrestling. He says that two things are real: Minoru Suzuki has 29 MMA victories, 21 by submission, and that he will stretch him out, blacken both of his eyes and have him on his knees looking up at him saying he is the better man. He says "The American Nightmare" is not one you can wake up from, and that it is real.

We see footage from earlier today where Will Ferrara, dressed as a fan in a Jushin "Thunder" Liger mask, attacks Cheseburger in an autograph signing.

We see footage from earlier tonight where Caprice Coleman says he will earn his "Coleman's Pulpit" segment and get better props for it, then introduces his first two guests: The Addiction ("The Almighty" Christopher Daniels and "The Heavy Metal Rebel" Frankie Kazarian). Coleman apologizes for the appearance of the set, and appreciate that they called him saying they would get on the segment. Kazarian says there is a reason he called Coleman and only Coleman: he does not want to talk to Ian Riccaboni or Mandy Leon, saying they are part of the problem, and that Coleman is part of the solution. He and Daniels are declaring war on respect, and that Coleman himself knows a little bit about respect. Coleman says the proof is in the pudding with The Addiction as guests on a shabby set. Kazarian has a bone to pick concerning the treatment given by the ROH staff, wrestlers and fans, and says the fans are there only to throw streamers and start stupid chants, and if they went away tomorrow, the fans would move along, and that does not sit well with him. Daniels says they aren't setting out to be tag team champions again or rivalries with both teams from last week's main event. He says he was betrayed by the fans, and he and Kazarian bled, sweated and cried for this company. He hoped to lead this company into the future, but the fans did not want that. Now he and Kazarian are going to set out to see what the fans want, and make sure they never get it again, even if what they want is the best of professional wrestling.

Will Ferrara beats Howie Timberche with a low blow out of the vision of referee Mike Posey followed by a Tornado DDT. After the match, Cheeseburger shows up. He says he will not attack Ferrara from behind like some sort of coward, and challenges him man-to-man. Next week, they will go one-on-one. Ferrara accepts the challenge without hesitation.

Jay Briscoe says that he has been deemed a liability, and that Ring of Honor doctors have said that the concussion he has suffered at the hands of The Kingdom (Matt Taven, Vinny Marseglia, TK O'Ryan) have made him unfit to compete this week. The problem is that Ring of Honor did not cancel his plane ticket and he is still here, and that is Ring of Honor's liability.

Bullet Club ("Hangman" Adam Page and "The American Nightmare" Cody Rhodes) beat Mark Briscoe and Bully Ray. During the match, "The Villain" Marty Scurll shows up and opens his Bullet Club umbrella, but Jay Briscoe shows up and fights him before pulling out a table. As the referee is preoccupied with everything going on outside the ring, Bully Ray hits Adam Page with Scurll's umbrella before promptly disposing of it. Jay tries to put Scurll through the table, but Scurll escapes and runs away through the crowd, with Jay quickly following. Bully and Mark Briscoe then hit the Doomsday device while Jay Briscoe and Scurll continue to brawl outside (with a young boy getting a close view of the action and a fan giving Jay Briscoe an umbrella to use as a weapon), and the match continues. Mark Briscoe goes up top, but TK O'Ryan - carrying a baseball bat - shows up from out of the crowd and pushes Mark off the top turnbuckle, allowing Cody to get the win for Bullet Club. After the match, The Kingdom (Matt Taven, TK O'Ryan, Vinny Marseglia) rush into the ring (with Marseglia carrying an ax) and attack Bully Ray until Jay Briscoe gets in the ring and fights off The Kingdom until Taven hits Jay in the back with his walking stick. The Kingdom then hits Jay Briscoe with the Rockstar Supernova, and the show ends.
