Honor Roll - Ring of Honor recap for October 3, 2020

We hear from Fred Yehi, who said that he beat Silas Young in the middle of the ring like he said he would, and that he has nothing but respect for him. He says that regardless of who he faces, he is in the business of breaking people. We also hear from Josh "The Goods" Woods, who says that he did good enough to hold his own in "an awesome opponent" like Kenny King, and hopes that he earned King's respect.

We hear from Rust Taylor, who grew up in the middle of nowhere and got into athletics as he got older before learning a catch wrestliing style from the New Japan dojo. He says that he never thought about winning the ROH Pure Championship, as he felt that he had failed in professional wrestling early on. He admits he does not know what to expect from "Hot Sauce" Tracy Wiliams, but he has seen his work and knows that he fights hard, and hopes Williams is as ready as he is. We then hear from "Hot Sauce" Tracy Williams, who says that his work in Ring of Honor has just begun. He talks about how he went from fighting with friends in a park to finding a wrestling school and furthering his ability. He talks about the fouding of LifeBlood, which he calls a failure after it failed to bring honor back into wrestling. When he heard about the Pure Championship Tournament, he knew he had to go for it. As for Rust Taylor, he says that Taylor's conditioning is on point, but his best matches against enemies over a hundred pounds heavier than he is and that tenacity makes the fight. He also plans to take advantage of any weaknesses in his competition.

In Block A, "Hot Sauce" Tracy Williams beats Rust Taylor in 14:25 with a piledriver followed by a crossface to advance in the tournament.

We hear from Tony Deppen, who says that the tournament revolves around his life and is extremely important. He says he did not do many athletics as a kid and did skateboarding more than anything else, and considers skateboarding and punk rock a big influence on his path in professional wrestling, and while he is not the biggest guy, he is influenced by some of the early alumni in ROH history. He says that while he knows the basics about "The Darewolf" PJ Black on Wikipedia, he has no Wikipedia page and Black knows nothing about him. He hopes to win the Pure Championship for his family, and says to expect a lot of wrestling and a lot of fun. We also hear from "The Darewolf" PJ Black, who was born into the business and has also trained in multiple styles, and has also trained with southern African shamans. He hopes to teach Brian Johnson a thing or two about the "pure" style of wrestling in this tournament, and while he does not know much about Tony Deppen, he is more than a high-flying wrestler and will prove that he can wrestle in the "pure" style.

In Block B, "The Darewolf" PJ Black beats Tony Deppen in 12:06 with a Crucifix Driver.

We see a vignette for Ethan Carter III.
