Honor Roll - Ring of Honor recap for February 6, 2021

In backstage footage from last week, Brawler Milonas and The Beer City Bruiser have a verbal confrontation. The Bruiser says there are no friends in wrestling and that he is tired of being second and tired of "being a little bitch" before walking off.

He says that Rhett Titus has taken the opportunity and has thrived. As for his opponent Cheeseburger, he is giving him the platform to rise after accomplishing a lot, but he is not taking him lightly due to his dedication to and knowledge of professional wrestling, and says there is a level that can only be achieved when one survives a certain kind of fight, and while he has been there, he has not seen Cheeseburger do that yet. He wants to give Cheeseburger the chance to prove he is not a novelty, but he will not make it easy for him.

We hear from Cheeseburger, who now has a new image and is now calling himself "World Famous CB" in an attempt to get past the ceiling that the nickname of "Cheeseburger" - which was given to him by Charlie Haas - has placed upon him. World Famous CB talks about how he got his start in Ring of Honor and how the nickname of "Cheeseburger" both led him to numerous tours of Japan and teaming with Jushin "Thunder" Liger and relegated him to being a novelty act despite being a ten-year veteran and a trainer in the ROH Dojo. He says that "Hot Sauce" Tracy Williams is not only bare bones as a wrestler, but one of the best, but he has a rhythm and he has some moves that nobody has seen before. He says there is not a limb he cannot bend and a joint he cannot manipulate, and while he may not be the biggest guy, his size gives him an advantage when it comes to escaping holds. World Famous CB says that his weaknesses will soon become his strenghts, and while he thanks the fans for supporting him, he has evolved, and Tracy Williams is soon going to feel it.

He asks that the fans' memories of him be those of a man who gave his all to be the best professional wrestler he could be every time he stepped in an ROH ring. Daniels than thanks the fans and says that he loves them before saying goodbye and receiving a standing ovation. Suddenly, ROH COO Joe Koff shows up on the stage to tell him that this the past year must come to closure, and admits that Daniels did something at Final Battle that made him rethink the situation: putting his body on the line Carey Silkin against Bully Ray, which showed Koff that he wasn't doing this to save his job, but because he loves ROH and what it means to him. As a result of Daniels' actions, he awards Daniels with a new contract for 2019. Koff thanks Daniels and hands him his contract, then Daniels is suddenly attacked by Shane Taylor, who mouths off at Koff. Daniels and Shane brawl, and Shane gets the upper hand before hitting Daniels in the back with a steel chair. He tells Daniels that he will be remembered for being the guy he took out before hitting him with a piledriver on the steel chair, then tears up the contract and stuffs it in Daniels' mouth.

Honor Roll - Ring of Honor recap for December 8, 2018

Before the next match, Flip Gordon questions "The Last Real Man" Silas Young calling himself "The Last Real Man," and proposes that they make their match an "I Quit" Match to see what Silas is made off. Silas hits Flip with a cheap shot, and tells him that if he wants an "I Quit" Match, he'll be more than happy to deliver.

Flip Gordon vs. "The Last Real Man" Silas Young in an "I Quit" Match ends in a no contest after Bully Ray gets involved, choking Flip with a chain so that Silas can Spear Gordon through a table.

SoCal Uncensored (Frankie Kazarian and Scorpio Sky) show up. Before they can speak, they are suddenly attacked from behind by The Briscoes (Jay and Mark Briscoe), who declare themselves of "the OG's of the Ladder War." The Young Bucks (Matt and Nick Jackson) suddenly rush in and attack The Briscoes, forcing them to retreat, then shake hands with SoCal Uncensored. Suddenly, The Briscoes get on the apron and shove SoCal Uncensored into The Young Bucks, who respond by superkicking both teams. The Bucks then pull a ladder out from underneath the ring, but SoCal Uncensored fights back against the two other teams and take the ladder to the center of the ring, where they climb to the top and lift the tag team titles over their heads.

We hear from "Almighty" Christopher Daniels, who says that he is at yet another moment where he stops to reflect on his career like he does every year. This year,he is fighting "The Villain" Marty Scurll at Final Battle for the ability to fight again tomorrow, as he does not want to leave ROH.

Dalton Castle, "The American Nightmare" Cody Rhodes and Jay Lethal beat The Kingdom (Matt Taven, TK O'Ryan, Vinny Marseglia). After the match, Cody tells Jay Lethal there is nothing left to say or do, and that he will see him at Final Battle.
