Honor Roll - Ring of Honor recap for June 17, 2017

Jay Lethal announces this is the 300th episode of Ring of Honor's television show, and that it feels like only yesterday when he won the ROH World Television Championship on Episode 2. He hopes for 300 more and asks what more is in store for him.

"The Last Real Man" Silas Young and The Beer City Bruiser beat Bobby Fish and Jay Lethal. During the match, an exhausted Beer City Bruiser has to temporarily retreat after he starts puking beer just before a commercial break. He returns shortly after the break.

"The Almighty" Christopher Daniels celebrates 2017's landmarks: 300 episodes of Ring of Honor television and his ROH World Championship reign. After being one of the first tag team champions, the second World Television and now a World Champion, he promises continued dominance in the ring and continued dominance from "The Almighty."

We see footage from two weeks ago after the show went off the air, when Bully Ray and Mark Briscoe have to calm Jay Briscoe down and tell Jay Brisco to remember what matters and that it is only one match after Dalton Castle cost them their match.

The Kingdom (Matt Taven, TK O'Ryan, Vinny Marseglia) attack The Boys before the next match The beating stops when Dalton Castle shows up, and the match finally begins.

The Kingdom (Matt Taven, Vinny Marseglia) beat The Boys. After the match, Marseglia hits the referee with a pump kick and The Kingdom has a message for everyone: "be one of us." Jay Briscoe shows up and confronts Dalton Castle, and Mark Briscoe has to stand between Jay and Dalton and play peacemaker. Bully Ray also shows up to talk sense to Jay, who eventually walks away.

We see a vignette for Punishment Martinez, who is coming up next.

Punishment Martinez beats Joey "Diesel" Daddiego. Cheeseburger and Will Ferrara check on Daddiego after the match, but Martinez makes quick work of both men. Jay White then runs in, and he and Martinez brawl until White knocks Martinez out of the ring. Martinez then heads to the back.

Mark Briscoe says Episode 300 is upon us, and that it is also the same number of times he has banged his head. Jay Briscoe shows up and says they won't stop until they hit a million, and Mark says that after this, they will continue on until eternity.

Honor Roll - Ring of Honor recap for September 17, 2016

Steve Corino returns to commentary this week with his one-year suspension served.

The Guerrillas of Destiny (Tama Tonga and Tongo Roa) beat The Cabinet (Kenny King and Rhett Titus) after Caprice Coleman's interference attempt from the top rope is foiled by Tama Tonga. Caprice Coleman says The Guerrillas of Destiny have not seen the last of The Cabinet.

Jay Lethal tells Tetsuya Naito that what he did last week is both business and personal. He says that he has to beat him to make his way back to the top of ROH, and tells Naito the day he turned his back on him is the second-worst day of his life, with the worst day of Naito's life will be All-Star Extravaganza.

Shane Taylor talks about how that Ray Rowe trained him to wrestle, and for the next seven years, they ruled Cleveland, Ohio with Rowe leading and him listening. He then says Rowe went to Texas when he had enough and became a star as one-half of War Machine with Hansen, and left him surrounded by the enemies Rowe created. Meanwhile, he started tearing up those enemies in Cleveland, and now he is in Ring of Honor. He tells Rowe that his past will soon catch up with him.

Keith Lee and Shane Taylor beat Ricardo Rojas and Ken Phoenix. After the match, Lee grabs a microphone and proclaims himself and Lee are now "the baddest team in Ring of Honor." He tells War Machine (Hanson and Rowe) they smashed them in Philadelphia, yet they're stupid to stay down, and he tells Rowe this won't end until one of them stops breathing. War Machine show up, and Rowe tells Taylor he's right, telling him and Lee they'd didn't kill them when they had the chance. He calls Taylor the last person he expected to stab him in the back and twist the knife after opening doors and presenting opportunities for him. He tells Taylor isn't about his betrayal or revenge, and that he's here for violence. He hopes and prays Taylor enjoyed his 15 minutes of fame, as the next 15 minutes are going to be one he wishes he'd forget.

Adam Cole talks about his match next week where he teams up with "Hangman" Adam Page to take on "Unbreakable" Michael Elgin and Hiroshi Tanahashi. He calls the team of Elgin and Tanahashi "Wishful Thinking" because they wish both men could be as dominant as him and Bullet Club. He stands as ROH World Champion, and he and Page plan to make an example of them...and make sure they don't like it.

The team of Keith Lee and Shane Taylor vs. War Machine (Hanson and Rowe) ends in a double disqualification after both men destroy each other with steel chairs. Keith Lee and Shane Taylor then powerbomb Rowe through two steel chairs.

Matt Tavis guests on commentary for the next match. He announces that The Kingdom will be among the participants in the Six-Man Tag Tournament.

Jay White beats Kamaitachi when White makes Christopher Daniels pay for trying to interfere by sending Kamaitachi into him. During the match, it is announced that Kyle O'Reilly vs. Jay Lethal for the ROH World Championship will be given the entire hour for next week's show. After the match, Frankie Kazarian shows up and attacks White along with Daniels, and The Motor City Machine Guns (Chris Sabin and Alex Shelley) make the save. Chris Sabin says they're sick and tired of The Addiction's (Daniels and Kazarian) doing, and after calling them a "bad influence," Sabin challenges The Addiction and Kamaitachi to a six-man tag match. Nigel McGuinness, who is on commentary, asks the audience if they want to see it. They do, and McGuiness calls for the bell.

Jay White and The Motor City Machine Guns (Chris Sabin and Alex Shelley) beat Kamaitachi and The Addiction (Christopher Daniels and Frankie Kazarian).

Adam Cole is peeved that Kyle O'Reilly has another shot at the ROH World Championship against Jay Lethal, and promises that he will make it so O'Reilly is never world champion.

Shane Taylor and Keith Lee beat Victor Andrews and James Anthony. War Machine (Hanson and Rowe) show up after the match and brawl with Taylor and Lee.

We hear from both Kyle O'Reilly and Jay Lethal concerning each other.

B Whitmer shows up along with Kevin Sullivan. Since Best In The World, BJ Whitmer has been bombarded with questions, but tonight's he answering Steve Corino's question: how is he aligned with Kevin Sullivan? In 2013, while he had a broken neck, Sullivan approached him as one of two heirs to evil, with the other heir being Corino. According to Whitmer, Corino denied the evil, and Whitmer set out to destroy him, and in doing so, took that evil to another level. Sullivan tells Corino he can go home to his family, but until he accepts he's an evil man, chaos will reign over Ring of Honor, with the source of chaos - Whitmer or Corino - called into question. Whitmer tells Corino this chapter is over, but the book is yet to be finished.

Falton Castle beats Roderick Strong.

Honor Roll - Ring of Honor recap for July 9, 2016

Donovan Dijak beats Jason Kincaid.

ACH says that the crowd is his track on repeat, and that everything he's been through are the lyrics. The only way to complete the song is to win the World Television Championship, and he'll have to get through Mark Briscoe to become #1 contender.

Before the next match, The Addiction ("The Almighty" Christopher Daniels and "The Heavy Metal Rebel" Frankie Kazarian) promise that they will retain the ROH World Tag Team Championships.

Mark Briscoe tells ACH that he's a good athlete, but there's a difference between natural athletics and destiny. He's no stranger to gold now that he's one-half of the IWGP Heavyweight Tag Team Champions, and now he wants some singles gold in ROH.

The Addiction ("The Almighty" Christopher Daniels and "The Heavy Metal Rebel" Frankie Kazarian) retain the ROH World Tag Team Championships against "The Last Real Man" Silas Young and The Beer City Bruiser.

Kyle O'Reilly respects Jay Lethal for taking him seriously as a competitor and never ducking him, and once again they square off for the World title. This time, they'll both find out who the best in the world really is.

Bobby Fish is in the ring for a special live version of The Fish Tank. Fish brags about being ROH World Television Champion, but today isn't all about him. It's about his two special guests who are fighting each other for a shot at this title: ACH and Mark Briscoe. ACH shows up first, followed by Briscoe. Briscoe tries to figure out what "ACH" means, and comes up with wild guesses such as "A Child Hero," "Acrobatic Cat-Like Horseman" and "Ass Cheeks Hughes." ACH cuts in and says that the main difference between him and Briscoe is that Briscoe has a legacy and that he does not, and he has to get through both Briscoe and Fish to start his before telling him "ACH" stands for "Annihilating Chickens' Hopes." Both men are ready to fish, and Fish cuts The Fish Tank short so that he doesn't get roughed up.

Mark Briscoe beats ACH to become #1 contender for the ROH World Television Championship. Both men show respect after the match, then Mark Briscoe and Bobby Fish stare down to end the show.

Next week: Roderick Strong vs. Dalton Castle! Kyle O'Reilly vs. Jay Lethal for the ROH World Championship!

Honor Roll - Ring of Honor recap for May 28, 2016

Have two sites to credit for this one: Eyes on the Ring and Voices of Wrestling. Both sites are pretty good reads.

These matches were part of Night 2 of War of the Worlds 2016.

"The Last Real Man" Silas Young guests on commentary for the next match.

ACH beats Lio Rush. After the match, "The Last Real Man" Silas Young rushes into the ring and attacks ACH.

We see footage from The Addiction (Christopher Daniels and Frankie Kazarian) vs. War Machine (Hanson and Rowe) for the ROH World Tag Team Champions at Night 1 of War of the Worlds.

The Addiction (Christopher Daniels and Frankie Kazarian) show up. Christopher Daniels claims that everything is right in the world as they are once again ROH World Tag Team Champions of the World. They claim that they are better than basically every other tag team in ROH, and even go so far as to claim that they have never been beaten and that they are the undisputed, undefeated champions. Chris Sabin shows up and calls The Addiction "sad middle-aged douchebags" before making a male-pattern baldness joke and reminding them that The Motor City Machine Guns (Chris Sabin and Alex Shelley) have beaten them twice as of late, and challenge them to a match for the tag team titles. Suddenly, Roppongi Vice (Trent Baretta and Rocky Romero) show up and say that you can't have a party without them. Trent Barretta calls Daniels "old," which gets Daniels mad, who accepts the challenge and says that if either team beats them, they get a shot at the tag team titles at Best in the World.

The Motor City Machine Guns (Chris Sabin and Alex Shelley) beat The Addiction (Christopher Daniels and Frankie Kazarian) and Roppongi Vice (Trent Barretta and Rocky Romero) in a three-way tag team match to earn a title shot against The Addiction at Best in the World.

Roderick Strong wants to know if he's offended Jay Briscoe, as every time Briscoe says his name, it sounds like he has. Strong says he should be the offended one, as he has carried this company for so long and Briscoe "ran back to the chicken farm and licked [his] wounds" when the company needed him most. He calls Briscoe a great tag team wrestler and a very mediocre singles wrestler, and he will remind him of that and the fact that he is the best to ever step in an ROH ring.

The Young Bucks (Matt and Nick Jackson) and Adam Cole talk about their Global Wars superkick party, and Cole welcomes ROH to their world. He says that they will break every rule and that there is nothing ROH can do to stop them, as they own ROH and the chaos has just begun.

BJ Whitmer will finally take on Steve Corino at Best in the World in a Fight Without Honor. The match is finally on after Whitmer filmed himself stalking Corino's wife.

We see highlights of Adam Cole joining The Bullet Club at Night 1 of War of the Worlds.

The Elite (Matt Jackson, Nick Jackson, Kenny "The Cleaner" Omega) beat Hiroshi Tanahasi, "Unbreakable" Michael Elgin and Yoshitatsu.

Next week: Jay Lethal vs. Donovan Dijak!

Honor Roll - Ring of Honor recap for September 5, 2015

The Addiction ("The Almighty" Christopher Daniels and Frankie Kazarian) retain the ROH World Tag Team Championships against The Young Bucks (Matt and Nick Jackson) after Kazarian grabs the tights and interference attempts from The Kingdom (Matt Taven, Michael Bennett, Maria Kanellis). After the match, Nigel McGuinness shows up and says this isn't happening on his match, and gives another tag team title shot to the Bucks. Since he can't take away The Kingdom's contractually obligated tag team title shot for All-Star Extravaganza VII, he gives the Bucks their own, and The Addiction vs. The Kingdom for the ROH World Tag Team Championships at All-Star Extravaganza VII becomes a triple threat match as The Young Bucks are added to the match. Both The Addiction and The Kingdom are livid.

Jay Lethal retains the ROH World Championship against Roderick Strong. After the match, reDRagon (Bobby Fish and Kyle O'Reily) step out from backstage and makes it clear that they're taking Lethal's titles.

Adam Page calls Jay out on not answering his challenge, but Jay tells Page he doesn't know who the hell he is, but if he wants to go, they can go now. BJ Whitmer says this won't happen right now, but he has an idea: Page takes on Jay next week. Jay, now knowing who Adam Page is, tells him it's on, and that next week, Page "is gonna get his ass whooped."

Jay Lethal and Truth Martini tell Hansen that he's not walking away with the Television title next week, saying he won't repeat history with the title on the line.

Both O'Reilly and Cole fight off both Daniels and Frankie Kazarian, who rushes in to even the odds.

The Addiction (Christopher Daniels and Kazarian) announce that Bobby Fish, who has been attacked in the parking lot earlier, is medically unable to compete (even though they attacked him). Since the contract clearly states reDRagon (Fish and Kyle O'Reilly) is in the match and not O'Reilly and a suitable replacement, they tell them to either show up or forfeit the match. Nevertheless, Kyle O'Reilly shows up solo to fight them.

Kyle O'Reilly beats The Addiction (Christopher Daniels and Kazarian) by disqualification after Daniels hit O'Reilly with one of the tag team titles. After the match, Daniels attacks the ref, then he and Kazarian continue to attack O'Reilly. Matt Sydal and ACH run in to make the save.
