Honor Roll - Ring of Honor recap for November 21, 2020

We hear from Jay Briscoe, who says that his focus has been shifted as of late thanks to EC3. EC3 says it is an honor to fight him on his quest to see if honor is real, and that it is part of his plan. He says that he envies Jay Briscoefor staying true to ROH while he went from business to business, and says he has his respect as he says that honor and respect are synonymous. Jay tells EC3 he will honor him with an ass-whuppin', while EC3 asks if Jay will shake his hand if he offers it according to the Code of Honor. Jay says he will give EC3 a beatdown as he tells him to bring his A-game, while EC3 tells ay to control his emotions as well as his narrative to show him that honor is real.

EC3 beats Jay Briscoe by disqualification in less than two minutes when Briscoe refuses to let go of a choke in the corner by the count of five. After the match, EC3 attacks Briscoe as soon as he turns around, and security quickly shows up to attempt to break up the ensuing brawl, and EC3 dares Briscoe to hit him with the Jay Driller. When Briscoe goes for it, security immediately holds him back.

Backstage, Quinn McKay interviews Jay Briscoe. When asked why he did not uphold the Code of Honor and refused to let go of the choke on EC3, Briscoe simply says "Fuck him. That's why."

We hear from LSG, who talks about his love for professional wrestling even when he played baseball as akid and how he went to a Ring of Honor show at fifteen years old and was blown away. He says that Jay Lethal showing up as the only local guy from the event was what inspired him to become a professional wrestling. He says that baseball set a foundation for him when he entered professional wrestling, and after a few years, he entered the Ring of Honor Dojo and teamed with Shaheem Ali to form Coast 2 Coast. After last year did not do well, he has re-evalutated his career and he is on a different level, and if anyone wants to enter ROH, they have to prove themselves against guys like him. He admits that Coast 2 Coast's match against Jay Lethal and Jonathan Gresham did not go so well for him, this time is different, and he will take advantage of anything he can after having trained harder than before, as this match means everything to him and he will prove that he can hang as he goes from being the boy who wanted to be Lethal to the man who wants to beat Lethal. We then hear from Lethal, who says that while he did not win the ROH Pure Championship, he managed to find the purest of pure wrestlers in Jonathan Gresham. He also admits he lost to the better man in "Hot Sauce" Tracy Williams, whom he considers a like-minded individual like Gresham. He says that the three of them want to clean up ROH and bring back prestige and honor as those who have put in the time and honed their craft should be rewarded. He says that he has requested a match with LSG, as he has proved that he has the talent and ability as well as the hunger, for he has been in his position, and LSG will get him one-on-one to prove he can hang with the best out there, then tells LSG that nothing is free and that he had better be ready to pay for it.

Jay Lethal beats LSG by judge's decision in a Pure Rules Match after the match reaches its 15-minute limit. Both men shake hands after the match.

John Walters will return to Ring of Honor.

Matt Taven beats Bateman with an O'Connor Roll. After the match, Bateman lays out Taven, then Vincent shows up and says Taven looks a litle too comfortable for his liking before Bateman hits Taven with a piledriver. He asks how one person can be so embarassing, as there is nobody in the arena and Taven still wants attention. Vincent then tells Taven that no matter how hard he tries, he will never get the approval he is looking for, then tells him that everything he has done - as well as his legacy - is nothing more than failure, then pulls out a dart. All of a sudden, Mike Bennett's music plays, and when the lights come back on, Mike Bennett is in the rin. He runs Vincent out of the ring and superkicks Bateman, who he also eventually chases out of the ring. Taven and Bennett then hug in the ring to close out the show.
