Honor Roll - Ring of Honor recap for November 18, 2017

Matt Taven beats Jay White. During the match, TK O'Ryan gets on the apron and spits on Jay White, and Vinny Marseglia tosses Taven a baseball bat. It doesn't work, as Jay White manages to duck the bat and kick out. Marseglia then gets up on the apron, allowing O'Ryan to hit Jay White in the back with the baseball bat so that Taven can hit the Climax. Ater the match, the rest of Search and Destroy (Chris Sabin, Alex Shelley, Jonathan Gresham) rushes into the ring and chases The Kingdom (Taven, Marseglia, O'Ryan) out of the ring before Marseglia can attack White with his ax.

We see footage from earlier today where Coast To Coast (Shaheem Ali and LSG) talk about last week when Flip Gordon asks for their help so that Bullet Club won't beat him up anymore, calling them the first men he thought of for his Flip Army. Shaheem Ali and LSG are in, and they have one more guy they want to add to the fold.

Caprice Coleman guests on commentary for the next match.

Shane Taylor beats Cheeseburger to continue to the Four Corners Survival match for the ROH World Television Championship at Final Battle. After the match, The Dawgs (Rhett Titus and Will Ferrara) show up and have a proposition for Shane Taylor, knowing that he is a gun for hire. Ferrara offers him a pint full of pennies to take Cheeseburger out for good, but Shane Taylor pours all the pennies on him and hands him the beer stein back. When The Dawgs decide to take Cheeseburger out themselves, Shane Taylor keeps them from doing it, and they retreat.

"The Last Real Man" Silas Young says opportunities are coming knocking, and when they knock for him, he will kick the door open. He says Jonathan Gresham is a gifted wrestler, but he will be on his back watching him get his hand raised and finding out why he is called "The Last Real Man."

Coast To Coast (Shaheem Ali and LSG) ask Scorpio Sky to join Flip Gordon's "Flip Army." Scorpio Sky accepts.

"The American Nightmare" Cody Rhodes guests on commentary for the next match. Dalton Castle hits "Hangman" Adam Page with the tope suicida before the match as Cody tries to get a word with him.

Dalton Castle beats "Hangman" Adam Page by submission. During the match, "The American Nightmare" Cody Rhodes runs to ringside and pulls referee Todd Sinclair just when Castle has the match won after the Bang-a-rang on Page. Castle gets out of the ring and chases Cody around it, and Page takes the opportunity to hit Castle with the shooting star press from the apron. Castle goes for Bang-a-rang, but it is countered. After a series of reversals, Cody gets on the apron and grabs Castle from behind, but Castle gets out of the way and Page inadvertently knocks Cody off the apron. Castle then beats Page by submission. After the match, Cody gets on the apron and teases taking on Castle himself, then Page hits Castle with a chop block and Cody takes the boots to Castle. Cody then puts the Ring of Honor on his right hand, then punches him out with a right hand.

Bully Ray shows up. He says that before the doors open, he made it a point to get on the street and remind himself that he never forgot where he came from. He says everyone talks about performing at the Madison Square Garden, the Tokyo Dome and the Staples Center, but the 2300 Arena in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania is the building that changed the face of professional wrestling forever. He is very proud of ECW, but he is just as proud of ROH. He then pulls out a piece of paper which contains the words that he wants to say, and pulls out a pair of reading glasses that look just like his glasses from when he was Buh Buh Ray Dudley and puts them on. This starts some "Buh Buh" chants, and he takes them off. He then says that after writing stuff down, he asks "Who the hell needs a script?" and does what he has always done with the fans and shoot straight. He says the fans know what the deal is, and it is time. He wants the fans to be happy, for he is happy. The crowd chants "We will miss you!" Bully Ray then says he will miss the fans also, and even though he is still on contract to ROH, he will still help out the young guys, as he still believes in ROH as he did in ECW and there are great things on the horizon for the company. He says that he loves every single, last fan in the building, and takes his hat off to them. Bully Ray is given a standing ovation as ROH CEO Joe Koff gets in the ring. Joe Koff says every day in ROH is a dream, but when Bully Ray showed up, the dream became even more real. He tells Bully to feel free to stay here, and thanks him. Suddenly, Jay Briscoe shows up, and tells Bully he is supposed to be a legend, but instead, he is going out looking "like a bitch" and knocks the hat off his head. Bully takes his jacket off, and Joe Koff tries to stop Bully. Briscoe then spits in Bully's face, and Joe Koff confronts Jay over this only for Jay to lay a hand on him. Officials get in the ring, but Jay attacks Bully from behind and grabs a steel chair. Tommy Dreamer and Velvet Sky suddenly show up, and Velvet Sky shields Bully Ray while Dreamer confronts Jay Briscoe. Mark Briscoe shows up and stands between Jay and Dreamer and tries to talk sense into Jay, and tosses the steel chair out of his hand. Mark then kicks Dreamer in the groin and hands the steel chair back to Jay. Jay drills the steel chair into Dreamer, then Jay teases hitting Velvet with it before Mark grabs Velvet by the hand and tosses her away from Bully. Bully gets up, then Jay and Mark hit Bully with the Dudley Death Drop.
