Special thanks to prowrestling.net for helping me get caught up.
Ian Riccaboni is now on commentary following the departure of Kevin Kelly and Steve Corino, and Bobby Fish guests on commentary this week.
"The Almighty" Christopher Daniels is in the ring. He talks about how he was on the first ever ROH show, and how his destiny is to be ROH World Champion. Suddenly, Adam Cole shows up. He ridicules Daniels for being over 40 years old and says he will be World Champion forever, then notices that Daniels is ready to fight and tells him that he's in luck. If it's a fight with Bullet Club Daniels wants, it's a fight with Bullet Club he'll get. Daniels is then attacked from behind by Hangman Page, and as Cole is about to hit Daniels with the World title, "The Heavy Metal Rebel" Frankie Kazarian makes the save. Kazarian then grabs the microphone and asks for a tag team match before declaring that Daniels will be the next champion.
Adam Cole and Hangman Page beat The Addiction ("The Almighty" Christopher Daniels and "The Heavy Metal Rebel" Frankie Kazarian) after Page puts his legs up to counter the Best Moonsault Ever and rolls him up.
John Skyler beats Sean Carr to advance to the quarterfinals of the 2017 Top Prospect Tournament.
The Kingdom (Matt Taven, TK O'Ryan, Vinny Marseglia) say that no peasants have ever toppled a kingdom, in reference to The Rebellion (Kenny King, Rhett Titus, Caprice Coleman). Marseglia says that he farted in "The Big Dog" Rhett Titus' dog food and the only thing he can do is breathe in the greatness. It is then announced that the winners of this match will take on Dalton Castle and The Boys at the next pay-per-view.
The Tempura Boyz (Sho and Yo) are about to have a match with The Motor City Machine Guns (Chris Sabin and Alex Shelley) when the Machine Guns fail to come out. Riccaboni asks for a camera to show what's going on backstage, but nothing is show, and it is implied that something has happened to The Motor City Machine Guns before the show cuts to a commercial break.
"The Villain" Marty Scurll retains the ROH World Television Championship against Donovan Dijak with the crossface chickenwing. After the match, Lio Rush, who is seen watching the match from the stage, gets in the ring and stares down with Scurll. Scurll turns away, then hits him with the Television title, and is about to put him in the crossface chickenwing when The Rebellion (Kenny King, Rhett Titus, Caprice Coleman) runs in. Scurll flees, then The Motor City Machine Guns (Chris Sabin and Alex Shelley) show up along with other people in the locker room to close out the show.
Recapping American wrestling since 2013. Not only following the current stuff in WWE, Impact and ROH but also going back in time and doing stuff from back then as well.

Before the next match, Cody Rhodes says that he is here to judge the fans and that at Final Battle, he realized that the putrid smell that he smelled was the smell of mediocrity. He then blasts Ring of Honor for not being up to his standards, and that he was angry when a fan asked to see Brandi before sarcastically telling the fans they must be happy to have a star that hasn't faded in the building. Steve Corino shows up. Cody reminds Corino of the time in 1999 when he insulted his father Dusty Rhodes. Cody demands that Corino look him in the eye as he tells him that he has no respect for him. Corino tells Cody that Dusty was his hero and paved the way for him to be there, then tells him that one of Genghis Khan’s sons had to be sacrificed, either him or his brother. Cody slaps Corino, and the match begins.
Cody Rhodes beats Steve Corino with a low blow. After the match, Cody attacks Corino, then Jay Lethal rushes into the ring and gets a few shots in before Cody retreats.

Honor Roll - Ring of Honor recap for October 29, 2016
Donovan Dijak beats Danny Miles. After the match, Prince Nana says in the last pay-per-view, he did not quit and says he will never quick, and says that Dijak is quintessential example of what an athlete should be from top to bottom. He was disappointed by the outcome, and says that will never, ever happen again.
Last week, The Young Bucks (Matt and Nick Jackson) and Adam Cole brawled backstage with The Motor City Machine Guns (Chris Sabin and Alex Shelley).
The Briscoes (Jay and Matt Briscoe) are coming for The Addiction (Christopher Daniels and Frankie Kazarian) as part of their road to becoming tag team champs again.
The Addiction (Christopher Daniels and Frankie Kazarian) say that Ladder Wars changed them, but The Briscoes (Jay and Mark Briscoe) have a legacy of their own by being in ROH since day one and holding the tag team titles eight times, with people saying they are the best tag team in Ring of Honor history. He says that he thinks of Christopher Daniels when he thinks of what a legacy is, as he has given everything he has to professional wrestling. He calls it an honor and privilege to do that as both a tag team partner and a friend. For now, it is a time to retreat, but not to surrender, as they plan to become the best team in ROH history. They plan to heal as a team rather than die as individuals, and leave the ring. The Briscoes say they're here to fight, and call out The Young Bucks (Matt and Nick Jackson), telling them to bring the ROH tag titles out so they can go at it.
The Young Bucks (Matt and Nick Jackson), "Hangman" Adam Page and Adam Cole show up after the commercial break. Cole says that Bullet Club is the new sheriff in town, and that The Briscoes won't be fighting the Bucks tonight. Mark then tells Cole and Page to get in the ring. After they tease leaving, they get in the ring.

Adam Cole is in the ring. He calls Bullet Club the most powerful group in all of wrestling, and because of that, everyone in it has targets on their backs. Jay Lethal shows up, and tells Cole it's not over between the two of them. Cole tells Lethal to stop beating around the bush and ask for the rematch he knows he'll never win, then tells him that that rematch won't take place tonight and that the Bullet Club will always have his back. Lethal tells Cole that he has friends, too, and Los Ingobernables de Japan (Naito, EVIL) show up and stand with Lethal.

Lio Rush beats Donovan Dijak after reversing Feast Your Eyes into a crucifix pin. Dijak and Prince Nana stomp a mudhole in Lio Rush after the match. Jay White makes the save, but Kamaitachi attacks Jay White. Officials have to hold Dijak back.
The Cabinet (Kenny King, Rhett Titus, Caprice Coleman) interrupt Dalton Castle's backstage promo. Rhett Titus tries to borrow one of Castle's boys, and Caprice Coleman says he can't protect his boys forever, but Castle says that his boys are like him and that they know what they're doing. Needless to say, The Cabinet want Dalton Castle removed from wrestling.
We see exclusive footage from earlier today where War Machine (Hanson and Rowe) are attacked by Shane Taylor and Kevin Lee.
Kenny King interviews "The Hangman" Adam Page, who says that every move he makes is for the bidding of Bullet Club, and they plan to grab any gold that they can find. He says The Briscoes (Jay and Mark Briscoe) have something he wants: the IWGP Heavyweight Tag Team Championships. Jay is supposed to be the most violent, but at Death Before Dishonor, the ring is his gallows, and the crowd wil see how much he can man up before he "puts his mangy ass down." Jay Briscoe shows up as if on cue and attacks Page, and backstage crew have to hold both men back.
During the commercial break, The Addiction (Christopher Daniels and Frankie Kazarian) proclaim they have the night off now that War Machine (Hanson and Rowe) cannot compete for the tag team titles, but Roppongi Vice (Trent Baretta and Rocky Romero) show up and challenge them for the ROH World Tag Team Championships. Suddenly, The Young Bucks (Matt and Nick Jackson) show up wanting a piece of the action as well, wanting to make the match a five-star classic. Nigel McGuinness says that as much as he'd like to make this a three-way dance, there is no way he can make the match. He says Roppongi Vice have deserved a title shot, but the Bucks have not. With War Machine and The Motor City Machine Guns (Chris Sabin and Alex Shelley) out, he makes a match between Roppongi Vice and The Young Bucks, and the winners get a tag team title shot in two weeks.
The Addiction (Christopher Daniels and Frankie Kazarian) guest on commentary for the next match.
The Young Bucks (Matt and Nick Jackson) beat Roppongi Vice (Trent Baretta and Rocky Romero) to earn a shot at the ROH World Tag Team Championships. After the match, The Addiction (Christopher Daniels and Frankie Kazarian) attack the Bucks in revenge for being superkicked during the match.
Adam Cole and Jay Lethal show up for their contract signing for Death Before Dishonor, with Nigel McGuinness moderating. Both men are allowed final words before ink is on paper. Adam Cole asks Jay Lethal if he is sure he wants to defend the ROH World Championship, saying that if he's angry now, he'll be even angrier when he takes the title from him. He says that he shaved Lethal's head to prove he can take anything from him, including the World title, because Lethal walks around thinking he's the best when it's Adam Cole who really runs the show. Lethal may be the best, but so is he, and the only thing he intends to steal at Death Before Dishonor is the title, not the show. Jay Lethal tells Adam Cole that just about every match he has had in Ring of Honor has always been about a Ring of Honor World Championship, no matter what. He says that ROH titles are the most prestigious in the wrestling business, and for the first time, it's not about a championship...it's personal. All he can think about is revenge, and he needs it every time he looks in a mirror and is reminded of what Adam Cole did to him. He has no catch-phrases or one-liners, and at Death Before Dishonor, he's coming to fight. He signs. Adam Cole makes a promise, saying that Lethal signed away the World Championship. As Cole signs, Lethal tosses a pair of scissors onto the table. Cole picks them up and looks at them. Lethal slams Cole's head on the table and both men brawl. Adam Cole picks up the world title and says it's already his, but Lethal hits a low blow and is about to take the scissors to Cole's hair when The Young Bucks (Matt and Nick Jackson) pull Cole to safety. Lethal raises the World title in the air as he stares down Adam Cole and the Bucks to close out the show.
The Cabinet (Kenny King, Rhett Titus, Caprice Coleman) interrupt Dalton Castle's backstage promo.

Honor Roll - Ring of Honor recap for July 30, 2016
Jay Lethal gets in the ring to start tonight's show. He says that what happened between himself and Kyle O'Reilly wasn't right, as Kyle O'Reilly had to fight him when he wasn't 100 percent and The Bullet Club (Adam Cole, Matt Jackson, Nick Jackson) stole his chance to become ROH World Champion. He hated having to beat Kyle O'Reilly, and now he wants to make things right. Tonight's main event is The Briscoes (Jay and Mark Briscoe) vs. The Young Bucks (Matt and Nick Jackson), and wherever the Bucks are, Adam Cole is soon to follow. He asks Nigel McGuinness to make the match a six-man tag match, where he teams with The Briscoes and Adam Cole gets to join The Young Bucks anyway. The crowd loves the idea, and Nigel tells Jay Lethal he's got a deal.
We see Steve Corino talking to Kevin Sullivan. Sullivan tells Corino he is ruining his universe, and that it hurt him to hurt Corino. He tells Corino to do the right thing.
P-Dogg calls out Moose, telling him he's nothing special and that he can't wrestle. Moose outpowers The Getalong Gang before absolutely destroying P-Dogg, who hits Moose in the head with a microphone to absolutely zero effect. After the match, Prince Nana shows up with Donovan Dijak, and tells Moose there is a reason he brought him to Ring of Honor. He congratulates both Moose and Stokely Hathaway on their work so far, and asks Stokely to do a match between Moose and Dijak right now to see who the king of the big men is. Stokely agrees to the match without hesitation.
Donovan Dijak beats Moose. After the match, Donovan Dijak hits Stokely Hathaway with a big boot.
The Addiction (Christopher Daniels and Frankie Kazarian) know what they're doing to the tag team division, and know everybody wants to knock on their door. If the tag team division were a jungle, they would be the mighty lions, and they would have to be recognized as the best tag team in the business.
The Cabinet (Caprice Coleman, Kenny King, Rhett Titus) have a solution for the Young Bucks problem: building a wall around them and make them pay for it through T-shirts and 8x10" stands. As for "the dumb people," they have a surprise for them, as they're facing a team of terror.
Matt Taven guests on commentary for the next match.
Jay Lethal and The Briscoes (Jay and Mark Briscoe) beat Bullet Club (Adam Cole, Matt Jackson, Nick Jackson). During the match, Mark Briscoe has to be helped to the back by security after being tossed back first into a table and landing on one of his hips. After the match, Bullet Club goes on the attack, and hits Jay Briscoe with a steel chair before sending him into it head-first with a Jay Driller. Lethal is then hit with three simultaneous superkicks twice before Adam Cole pulls a pair of scissors out of a black bag and cuts part of Lethal's hair before pulling out an electric razor and shaving off the rest. Adam Cole then says he will make the ROH World Championship his.
We see Steve Corino talking to Kevin Sullivan. Sullivan tells Corino he is ruining his universe, and that it hurt him to hurt Corino. He tells Corino to do the right thing.

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!
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.

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."

Moose beats Dominick Carter with a single Spear. Stokely Hathaway then sends a message to Jay Lethal: if and when he gets the opportunity, he will take the World Television Championship from him. He then says that this message sounds familiar, as "Unbreakable" Michael Elgin said this last week.

"The Fallen Angel" Christopher Daniels guests on commentary for the next match.
Frankie Kazarian beats Christopher Daniels.
Matt Taven thanks Jay Briscoe - and Nigel McGuinness - for making the match official, and says that he's taking the ROH World Championship.
Donovan Dijak beats Jake Dirden to continue on to the second round of the 2015 Top Prospect Tournament after Dirden tries to go for the Asiatic Spike. During the match, The Decade (Jimmy Jacobs, B.J. Whitmer, Adam Page) do some scouting.
A shadowy figure says "We've been watching you. We are coming and we are bringing change with us."
Kevin Kelly interviews Alberto El Patron - formerly known as Alberto Del Rio in the WWE - in the ring. He mentions his legal troubles with WWE, which have now been resolved, and says that Ring of Honor is where the best wrestlers on the planet are. He says "wrestlers" because "that's what we are" and "I am not a fucking sports entertainer." He takes on "The Fallen Angel" Christopher Daniels next week, and he plans to make this the best night of everyone's lives. He's in ROH to get a shot at the ROH World Championship, and calls out Jay Briscoe so he can share the ring with him. Instead, he gets ROH Television Champion Jay Lethal and Truth Martini. Neither of them give a crap about Alberto or Jay Briscoe, and Truth says the Television Championship is the greatest title in the world, not the World Championship, and demands an apology. Alberto then says that if Lethal is so desperate to get a piece of him, they can go at it right now, but Truth Martini refuses to give him the satisfaction.
Nigel McGuinness shows up. Since the main event from last week was out of control and there is no #1 contender for the ROH World Championship, he calls out Jay Briscoe so he can tell him personally who the new #1 contender is. Briscoe shows up and says that since the next pay-per-view is in Las Vegas, Nevada, the ROH World title match should have a four-way dance with all three men - Michael Elgin, Hanson, and Tommaso Ciampa - as #1 contender.
Jay Briscoe retains the ROH World Championship against Matt Taven. After the match, Michael Bennett attacks Briscoe with the Title of Love, and Maria tells him that the title is hers as it was given to her before telling Briscoe that he doesn't have the balls to fight her. Matt Briscoe makes the save and forces The Kingdom (Taven, Bennett, Maria) to retreat. He then throws down the gauntlet: next week, they start the show with a tag match between The Briscoes and The Kingdom.
