Honor Roll - Ring of Honor recap for May 5, 2018

Caprice Coleman guests on commentary this week.

Coast To Coast (Shaheem Ali and LSG) beat The Beer City Bruiser and Brian Milonis.

We hear from Jay Lethal, who says that without ROH gold around his waist, he is lost. He has went to management, and has been told to rack up a few more wins if he wants championship gold. He has decided to do one better and beat the people who have beaten him, and he will wrestle as many matches as he has to in order to stand on top with gold around his waist. He may be lost right now, but that will soon change.

The Young Bucks (Matt and Nick Jason) want to go at it for the ROH World Tag Team Championships with The Briscoes (Jay and Mark Briscoe) one more time, since they put on a show and because they want to invite The Briscoes to a superkick party. That match will happen next week.

Before the next match, Rhett Titus says that Will Ferrara will tear Jonathan Gresham into calamari. He then guests on commentary for the next match.

Jonathan Gresham beats Will Ferrara, then Ferrara and Rhett Titus attack Gresham after the match until The Motor City Machine Guns (Chris Sabin and Alex Shelley) make the save.

We hear from Cody and Marty Scurll. Cody says that the #1 contender will face Dalton Castle at Best In The World on June 29th, and Scurll says it is him and that he will beat Dalton Castle for the ROH World Championsip. Cody takes Scurll aside and tells him that Bullet Club is fine and that he had his shot, and to go with him on this. Nevertheless, Scurll tells Castle he will beat him for the ROH World Championship again.

We hear from SoCal Uncensored ("Almighty" Christopher Daniels, "The Heavy Metal Rebel" Frankie Kazarian, Scorpio Sky), who say that The Kingdom (Matt Taven, Vinny Marseglia, TK O'Ryan) proved they are as dumb as they look when they stole the six-man tag titles, pissed off Bullet Club and infuriated them. Scorptio Sky says they should pay attention to tonight's main event, as there is nothing stopping them from taking back what is theirs. Daniel says the difference between them and The Kingdom is that they do not play by the rules and that they will end The Kingdom any way they see fit.

Before the next match, Shane Taylor says that for eight years, he ran the streets of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania the same way he rules ROH right now, and that is being paid to beat people down and knock them out. No matter how much money he makes, however, there is only so much money to go around, and that leads to guys like Ryan Nova who do not even have a spot on the roster, as the money they make could just as easily be in his pocket, and he might as well knock people out until he is the only one left.

Shane Taylor quickly beats Ryan Nova by referee stoppage after he knocks Ryan Nova out. After the match, Shane Taylor stays at ringside and takes a payment from The Kingdom (Matt Taven, Vinny Marseglia, TK O'Ryan).

The Kingdom (Matt Taven, Vinny Marseglia, TK O'Ryan) beat Dalton Castle and The Boys. During the match, "Almighty" Christopher Daniels tries to take the ROH World Six-Man Tag Team Championships away from Shane Taylor, but Shane Taylor does not let him. In the midst of this, which distracts the referee, The Boys switch positions. Later in the match, Matt Taven hits Dalton Castle from behind with a championship belt, and is able to hit the Climax on one of The Boys to lead The Kingdom to a win. After the match, The Kingdom continue to attack Dalton Castle and The Boys, and put a steel chair around Castle's right wrist before Taven stomps on it from the top rope in an attempt to injure Castle.

Honor Roll - Ring of Honor recap for March 10, 2018

Shane Taylor and Flip Gordon are the last two survivors of a battle royal after Shane Taylor turns on Caprice Coleman. Both men will face off later tonight in a match that will determine the #1 contender to the ROH World Television Championship.

We hear from The Kingdom (Matt Taven, Vinny Marseglia, TK O'Ryan). Taven asks who many times he has to tell the truth about the conspiracy about them, as they are not getting what they deserve while Bullet Club is dying, as ROH is "putting all their eggs in the Bullet Club basket." Suddenly, "The Heavy Metal Rebel" Frankie Kazarian and "Almighty" Christopher Daniels show up and say ROH has conspired against them as well. Marseglia and O'Ryan want none of this, but Taven hears them out. Daniels tells Taven this is an opportunity to create their own numbers game to take out Bullet Club and change the pecking order in ROH.

We hear from The Kingdom (Matt Taven, Vinny Marseglia, TK O'Ryan). O'Ryan says he does not trust SoCal Uncensored, but Taven tells him every army needs its pawns, and that every civil war has torn a nation - or a club - apart. Marseglia tells every member of Bullet Club to bring an umbrella, as it will be raining blood next week.

Deonna Purrazzo guests on commentary for the next match.

We hear from "The American Nightmare" Cody Rhodes, who says that Bullet Club is doing just fine.

Honor Roll - Ring of Honor recap for February 10, 2018

Dalton Castle says he is always ready, always limber and never surprised. After noticing The Boys are behind him, he says not much surprises him, and as soon as he won the ROH World Championship, he knew he was the biggest target in ROH. Therefore, when he was attacked from behind by Punishment Martinez, he was not surprised, as he would have done the same thing if he had to him. He tells Punishment Martinez he is not getting in the ring with the same man he has known in the past, and that he will get in the ring with a champion who is willing to protect what he has earned and has no other plan than to come out swinging and do whatever he can to leave Nashville, Tennessee as ROH World Champion.

The Beer City Brusier and Brian Milonas vs. Coast To Coast (Shaheem Ali and LSG) comes to an end after Kenny King runs to the ring and brawls with "The Last Real Man" Silas Young, taking their brawl to the ring in the process. This leads to the match becoming a six-man tag match after the commercial break.

Coast To Coast (Shaheem Ali and LSG) and Kenny King beat "The Last Real Man" Silas Young, The Beer City Bruiser and Brian Milonis.

The Dawgs (Rhett Titus and Will Ferrara) are not happy with Coast To Coast's (Shaheem Ali and LSG) recent win, and Rhett Titus says it is time to send Coast To Coast packing.

We hear from Madison Rayne and "The Exotic Goddess" Mandy Leon prior to their first round match in the Women of Honor Tournament.

Deonna Purrazzo guests on commentary for the next match.

"The Exotic Goddess" Mandy Leon beats Madison Rayne to advance to the quarterfinals of the Women of Honor Tournament. Both women show respect after the match.

After the show went off the air last week, "The American Nightmare" Cody Rhodes wants to know where The Young Bucks (Matt and Nick Jackson) were as he was getting beaten up. The Young Bucks tell him that they had just gotten into the building. Cody reminds them that everyone wants Bullet Club to break up, and tells them that he expects better from him. "The Villain" Marty Scurll then shows up with a fan sign, but The Young Bucks aren't in the mood.

We hear from The Briscoes (Jay and Mark Briscoe). Jay says that they don't care about The Motor City Machine Guns' (Chris Sabin and Alex Shelley) well being or if the fans cheer for them; all they care about is making statements. Mark says they plan to make one statement in particular: that they are the baddest tag tag team in the locker room, and they don't care if The Motor City Machine Guns or any of their opponents get hurt, get injured or even live or die. Jay says it's personal not just against the Machine Guns, but everyone else in the locker room, and they are taking the ROH World Tag Team Championships back.

"The Villain" Marty Scurll guests on commentary for the next match.

Dalton Castle retains the ROH World Championship against Punishment Martinez after reversing the Psycho Driver into an inside cradle. After the match, Dalton Castle slams both of The Boys into the ring apron.
Next week: SoCal Uncensored ("The Almighty" Christopher Daniels, "The Heavy Metal Rebel" Frankie Kazarian, Scorpio Sky) vs. Bullet Club (Matt Jackson, Nick Jackson, "Hangman" Adam Page)!

Honor Roll - Ring of Honor recap for January 13, 2018

Jay Lethal beats "The Aerial Assassin" Will Ospreay. During the match, "The Villain" Marty Scurll shows up before the first commercial break, then guests on commentary for the rest of the match. Both men shake hands after the match.

It's time for Coleman's Pulpit. This week's special guest is Jonathan Gresham, who picks the high chair over the low chair. He was trained by Mr. Hughes back in 2005, and has eked out a name for himself ever since. He warns Coleman to watch how he speaks to him after he mentions that he has not been winning as of late, then says he has been losing matches for the wrong reasons. He feels he has mastered his style and wanted to show it off in Ring of Honor, and wants to get some rules in place for guys who love wrestling in its original form like he does, but he has not made any headway with it.

Kenny King beats Brian Milonas. After the match, he congratulates Milonis on a good fight, then says he cannot stop thinking about "The Last Real Man" Silas Young and wants to "knock his ass out." He calls Silas out so they can finish the fight. Silas shows up, and both men brawl. Kenny King gets the upper hand, but suddenly, Milonis gets back into the ring and attacks Kenny King from behind, revealing Milonis to be The Beer City Bruiser's tag partner on the road to tag team gold.

The Addiction ("The Almighty" Christopher Daniels and "The Heavy Metal Rebel" Frankie Kazarian) and Scorpio Sky show up, wondering why Ian Ricobonni asked them to come to the ring. Daniel introduces themselves to be known from now on as "SoCal Uncensored." Suddenly, ROH CEO Joe Koff shows up and says he wanted Ian to ask them to come out to the ring, and says he wants to see the best wrestlers in the world, and SoCal Uncensored are the most disruptive, not the best. If he had it his way, he would fire them on the spot. Kazarian threatens to kick Joe Koff's ass, but Daniels stops him and says Joe Koff won't fire them because they have talked in the office and he can tell other people what ROH's expansion plans are if he were to be fired now. He then tells Joe Koff "We know where the bodies are buried." Joe Koff says he has contacted his attorney, and mentions that The Addiction's contracts expire in a year. He tells Daniels and Kazarian to enjoy their year, because after Final Battle 2018, The Addiction is done.

The Briscoes (Jay and Mark Briscoe) tell The Motor City Machine Guns (Chris Sabin and Alex Shelley) that it is nothing personal, and that no tag team in the world can do what The Briscoes can do. It only makes sense that they get the ROH tag team titles back.

Dalton Castle and The Boys beat The Kingdom (Matt Taven, Vinny Marseglia, TK O'Ryan). Near the end of the match, TK O'Ryan places an ax in the ring, but Vinny Marseglia taps to the Julie Newmar Lock before he can grab it.

Next week: The Young Bucks (Matt and Nick Jackson) vs. Titan and Dragon Lee vs. Best Friends (Trent Barretta and Chuckie T) in a three-way tag team match!

Honor Roll - Ring of Honor recap for July 22, 2017

Before the next match, The Young Bucks say that there is no competition in ROH when it comes to the tag team titles, and that they booked themselves into a Dalton Castle and The Boys for the six-man tag team titles, now that The Briscoes (Jay and Mark Briscoe) and Bully Ray have lost said titles. "Hangman" Adam Page then brings out "The Villian" Marty Scurll.

"The Villain" Marty Scurll beats Josh "The Goods" Woods, Vinny Marseglia, Will Ferrara, El Terrible and "The Heavy Metal Rebel" Frankie Kazarian in a Six-Man Mayhem match, despite delivering no offense during the match and by picking the bones after Kazarian hits Marseglia with a cutter. During the match, Shane Taylor shows up and levels Josh "The Goods" Woods outside of the ring as he also attacks other competitors in the match.

"The Almighty" Christopher Daniels says he has prided himself on never letting one loss defines him. However, when he lost the ROH World Championship to Cody Rhodes, it let a fire inside of him. After being told to cool down for a week, he is back and he wants a rematch for the ROH World Championship in a two-out-of-three falls match. That match will happen in two weeks.

The Beer City Bruiser beats Brian Milonas. After the match, "The Last Real Man" Silas Young celebrates the Bruiser on his win, and talks about how he injured Jay Lethal 29 days ago at Best in the World. He says it will be a long time before Lethal shows his face on ROH television ever again.

KUSHIDA retains the ROH World Television Championship against Jay White. After the match, Kenny King shows up and congratulates KUSHIDA as KUSHIDA and Jay White shake hands. Kenny then raises King's hand in victory, then tells him that the Television title will soon be his.

Next week: the special Women of Honor's episode! Karen Q vs "The Gatekeeper" Kelly Klein vs Deonna Purrazzo! Sumie Sakai vs. Kris Wolf!

Honor Roll - Ring of Honor recap for April 1, 2017

Special thanks to prowrestling.net for helping me get caught up. Thanks for being five hours again, WrestleMania.

Adam Cole calls The Young Bucks (Matt and Nick Jackson) to the ring. After the Bucks show up, Cole tells them that they've always been honest with each other. He was upset that he lost the ROH World Championship and disappointed that they cost Bullet Club the ROH World Six-Man Tag Team Championships by accidentally superkicking him in the face. He then proceeds to fire the Bucks from Bullet Club, which both surprises and angers them, especially Matt, who tells Cole that it was their idea to bring him into Bullet Club. He asks Cole if he thinks himself as a boss or a leader, and tells him that the real leader of Bullet Club and the only person who can call himself elite is Kenny Omega. The Bucks then leave the ring.

Backstage, Adam Cole expresses his anger with losing the ROH World Championship. He has no problem with losing in a one-on-one environment, but at the 15th Anniversary Show, he lost because "The Heavy Metal Rebel" Frankie Kazarian got involved by turning on Bullet Club shortly after he joined. Cole goes on to say that he has won the title three times and that there is no way he can't win it again.

Raymond Rowe beats Davey Boy Smith Jr.

"The Villain" Marty Scurll tells Kenny King he has talent, but it will only take him so far and that he will not win the ROH World Television Championship as long as he holds it.

Kenny King says that The Rebellion (King, Rhett Titus, Caprice Coleman) will get their due when he wins the ROH World Television Championship. He tells "The Villain" Marty Scurll that it is a good thing he has an umbrella as he will "send [his] ass the way of Mary Poppins."

Josh Woods beats Brian Milonas with an ankle lock to continue to the finals of the 2017 Top Prospect Tournament.

We see footage of Bully Ray saving The Briscoes (Jay and Mark Briscoe) from an attack by Bullet Club before putting Adam Cole through a table at Manhattan Mayhem. We then see a promo from The Briscoes, who thank Bully Ray from saving them from that attack and tell him that he was "that dude" growing up.

Next week: Bully Ray and The Briscoes (Jay and Mark Briscoe) face The Kingdom (Matt Taven, TK O'Ryan, Vinny Marseglia) for the ROH World Six-Man Tag Team Championships!

"The Heavy Metal Rebel" Frankie Kazarian guests on commentary for the next match.

"The Villain" Marty Scurll retains the ROH World Television Championship against Kenny King with the chickenwing.

Honor Roll - Ring of Honor recap for March 4, 2017

Special thanks to prowrestling.net for helping me get caught up with the main event...and that ending was so unexpected I couldn't type for a few minutes.

Dalton Castle guests on commentary this week.

The Kingdom (Matt Taven, Vinny Marseglia, TK O'Ryan) retain the ROH World Six-Man Tag Team Championships against The Rebellion (Kenny King, Rhett Titus, Caprice Coleman). During the match, Rhett Titus hurts his knee, and is helped to the back as he is unable to continue in the match. He is replaced suddenly by Lio Rush, who turns on Kenny King during the match by hitting him with a cutter, allowing The Kingdom to hit Supernova on King.

Jay White wants a rematch against Jay Briscoe, saying that he took Briscoe to the top. Briscoe says that White didn't take him anywhere, and if he wants a rematch, he's dog food. The rematch is official in two weeks' time.

"Kingpin" Brian Milonas beats Raphael King to continue to the semi-finals of the 2017 Top Prospect Tournament.

Next week: a no-disqualification match between War Machine (Hanson and Rowe) and the team of BJ Whitmer and Damien "Punishment" Martinez!

"The Almighty" Christopher Daniels replaces Dalton Castle on commentary for the main event.

Bullet Club (Adam Cole, "The American Nightmare" Cody Rhodes, Matt Jackson, Nick Jackson) beat The Briscoes (Jay and Mark Briscoe), Jay Lethal and Bobby Fish. After the match, "The Almighty" Christopher Daniels leaves the broadcast table and heads to the ring. He speaks into Adam Cole's ear, and Cole and Daniels start fighting. Cole kicks Daniels and tries to hit him with the World title, but Daniels avoids it and hits Cole an Angel’s Wings. Daniels then opens a bag he brought to the ring and pulled out a razor and scissors to prepare to cut Cole's hair. Cole tries to get out of there, and tries to elbow Daniels, but Daniels hits him with Angel's Wings again. "The Heavy Metal Rebel" Frankie Kazarian heads to the ring to help out Daniels, and as Daniels picks up the scissors and razor, Kazarian removes his jacket to reveal he is wearing a Bullet Club shirt. A shocked Daniels tries to walk past Kazarian, but Kazarian kocks the scissors and razor out of his hands. As Daniels confronts Kazarian, Kazarian holds up the "two sweet" sign. Daniels turns around to find out he is surrounded by the rest of Bullet Club. Matt and Nick Jackson hit Daniels with duel superkicks, and Cole tells Daniels that he will kill his career.
