Honor Roll - Ring of Honor recap for December 19, 2020

We hear from Dalton Castle, who thinks Brian Johnson is very rude and pushed him too far when he was not in a good emotional state by throwing a drink in his face and insulting him. He says that Johnson has all the tools to succeed, but his mind is his greatest weakness. He says that with "The Darewolf" PJ Black gone, so is the respect, and that Johnson should be lucky to be in ROH given who is in the roster. Dalton says that he has a lot of anger in him and that Johnson is in the right shape to break. We then hear from Brian Johnson, who is tired of ROH focusing on its past, and admits that while he was in the wrong for throwing a drink in Dalton Castle's face, Dalton was in the wrong for interrupting him. He says that people should be coming to see him, but ROH keeps talking about Dalton Castle while painting him in a bad light. He says that ROH has held on to relics like Dalton Castle for "too damn long," and that Dalton Castle had his chance, won the ROH World Championship, and crumbled under pressure and broke down like an old dog that should be put to sleep. Johnson says honor is not real with him, as nobody has honored him since he has been here, and that he will run through him as he shows the whole world finds out that it is "Mecca vs. Everybody."

Dalton Castle beats Brian Johnson.

Backstage, Quinn McKay interviews Dalton Castle, who says he just did what he does in the ring. He says that Brian Johnson had a beating coming, and after getting a win tonight, he is focused and on the right track again . He also says that Brian Johnson has walked away not wanting to mess with him again.

We hear from LSG, who says that nobody expected him to go the distance with Jay Lethal. He says that the rules beat him, not Lethal, and that he could have tapped him out if he had another minute. LSG says he has finally earned his spot and Lethal's respect, and if he has to go through Kenny King to earn more respect and make his legacy, he will do it. He says that while Kenny King is smart, he is smarter, and he is coming with an agility that Kenny King used to have. He says that while he lost to the rules against Jay Lethal, Kenny King will lose to him. We then hear from Kenny King, who says that Shane Taylor was the better man in his last television match and that Taylor has leveled up. He says that he has love and respect for Shane Taylor, then says he has to hold himself accountable for that loss. He admits that LSG is swift and talented, then says that LSG is more of a tag wrestler than a singles wrestler and that nobody is going to help him. Kenny says that he is everything LSG wishes he could be, and that winning matches is what really matters in the new ROH. After telling LSG that this is the worst possible scenario he can be in, and that he will not let LSG "hang with him" like he was able to "hang" with Lethal, he says that while LSG is hungry, he is starving and used to eating good. Their match will be on December 24th on Honor Club and YouTube.

We hear from Rhett Titus, who says that he cannot remember what life was like before Ring of Honor and that his life has revolved around it for the last 15 years. He says while he has not always been the focus of Ring of Honor, Ring of Honor has always been his throughout his ups and downs. He says that The Foundation (Jay Lethal, Jonathan Gresham, "Hot Sauce" Tracy Williams) will reward him for his hard work in preserving ROH's history, and that he is going to start with his own personal history against Delirious, who he credits with making him a stronger person. He then says that Delirious cannot outwrestle him in a Pure Rules Match, and that he has a strategy against the Cobra Stretch. He then tells Delirious to bring his best, because he will when he closes this chapter once and for all. We then hear from Delirious, who calls Rhett Titus a major part of his career, and while they have gone to war over the years, he has always won. He says that Rhett Titus is undervalued and underappreciated, that he has a family to fight for and has become a big part of ROH history, but so has he. He says that he was there are the beginning of Rhett's career, but Rhett was there at the end of his full-time career, and he wants Rhett to know that he is a master of the craft and that he will always beat him.

Rhett Titus beats Delirious via pinfall in 12:24 in a Pure Rules Match.
