Honor Roll - Ring of Honor recap for October 5, 2023

Afterwards, Maria Kanellis-Bennett shows up on the stage and tells Leyla she was not ready.

Backstage, Lexy Nair interviews Rocky "Azucar" Romero and "The Fallen Angel" Christopher Daniels. Romero says he has nothing but the utmost respect for him and that his match against him in the Super 8 Tournament many years ago got him a shot to enter Ring of Honor and become a three-time tag team champion there. Daniels lists Romero's accomplishments and considers Romero one of the best in the world, but if he were to beat him tonight, it would put him back on the championship track. After Daniels says "May the best man win," Rocky says he will "bring the azucar," but Daniels says he knows a little thing about spice (in a reference to Curry Man).



"The Technical Beast" Josh Woods beats Tyler Payne.

Rocky "Azucar" Romero beats "The Fallen Angel" Christopher Daniels.

He says he is ready for Eddie Kingston as well as anyone else in ROH as he goes for his fifth win in a row.



Before the next match, "The Premier Athlete" Tony Nese talks about how he was wiping the floor with "The American Dragon" Bryan Danielson the last time he was in Seattle, Washington before stating that he is here to stop everyone from being "fat, disgusting, out-of-shape, pathetic losers." He says that the fans need to lay off the carbs, and uses the bread in "Smart" Mark Sterling's hands as an example as he states that the bread is why everyone is fat while he looks like a million bucks, leading to a "bread" chant. Satoshi Kojima shows up before Nese can even get started with the group exercises, and Nese wants to know what Kojima's problem is. Kojima says "I love bread," and Nese says that everyone can tell that he loves bread, then says he is in a good mood and that he will give him a gift from America before stomping on the bread.

Satoshi Kojima beats "The Premier Athlete" Tony Nese and celebrates with the bread before shoving some in Nese's mouth.

Backstage, Athena has another "Minion Training session" with Billie Starkz and Lexy Nair.

He then says that Kojima is alone in the ring just like everyone else in this world, then Brian Myers and Sam Beale show up. Myers tells Kojima he does not have a match and tells him to beat it, and says that while he would have Sam Beale learn something from Kojima, he is around him all the time. Myers says there is nothing to learn from Kojima and tells him to leave before addressing Jake Something, then Kojima attacks Myers. As Kojima is outnumbered, Jake Something runs into the ring and evens the odds. Sam Beale and Brian Myers try to leave, but referee Brandon Tolle stops them and says they have a tag team match against Kojima and Jake right now as per Scott D'Amore. They try to leave again, but Kojima and Jake get them in the ring.

TJP and Fallah Bahh vs. Rich Swann and Willie Mack ends with Violent by Design (Eric Young, Joe Doering, Deaner, Rhino) attacking both teams.



Backstage, Kiera Hogan wants to now how Rosemary and Havok can get a Knockouts tag team title shot by asking for it while she and Tasha Steelz had to work from the bottom to the top. Tasha says they have beaten Rosemary and Havok when they had different partners and that this will be no different, then they confront Scott D'Amore. Scott D'Amore tells them they have a good point, and puts Rosemary and Havok in a #1 contender's tag team match to see if Rosemary and Havok are worthy of a tag team title shot, much to Tasha and Kiera's dismay.

Backstage, Gia Miller interviews Tommy Dreamer, Chris Sabin, Sami Callihan and Moose. Tommy Dreamer says that despite their differences, they must work together to get the job done. Chris Sabin says he is on the team for Dreamer and will put the team first, and admits that while he can tolerate Callihan, he hates Moose and wants him to be a team player. Moose says the only thing he cares about is winning and that nobody has a bigger grudge against Kenny Omega than him. Callihan says this is bigger than them and about putting their foot down and beating Omega's team's asses.

Shera and Fulton attack Petey Williams while Ace Austin and Rohit Raju talk to Chris Bey, who wants none of it as he heads to the back. "The Walking Weapon" Josh Alexander and Trey Miguel run into the ring, but the numbers game takes over. Chris Bey gets back in the ring and makes the save for Trey and Alexander. Ace Austin ends up being the only one on his side left in the ring, and he gets ganged up on before being tossed over the top rope and into his teammates.



Backstage, Susan talks with Kimber Lee, saying they are at rock bottom, but Kimber Lee says they can be a team and can still be tag team champions. Susan asks what they can do if that doesn't work, and Kimber Lee mentions her last resort: Su Yung. Susan asks "Who's that?"

We hear from Jake Something, who says Brian Myers made a joke out of his name, which has painted a target on his back that he welcomes. He says he is now strong enough to stand on his own feet, and while his name can be questioned, his heart cannot. He challenges Brian Myers to a match. If Myers wins, he will say he is the most professional wrestler, but if he wins, Myers will have to acknowledge him for the man that he is.

Backstage, we hear from Brian Myers, who accepts Jake Something's challenge because he will never call him a professional and that everyone knows what kind of professional he is, and because he wants the world to know that what he is teaching Sam Beale is paying off.

Petey Williams says that the lone wolf is the first to get eaten, and that he will have to choose a side before a side chooses him.

Backstage, Gia Miller interviews Tommy Dreamer. He says that he hates seeing someone lose his job, but professionally, he had to fire Don Callis and do what needed to be done. Suddenly, Scott D'Amore shows up. D'Amore says that while Tommy Dreamer could have handled things differently last week, he says that there is validity to what he said, and that he did not take care of things that he should have. He thanks Tommy for having the company's best interests at heart, and Tommy thanks D'Amore for having his back.

When Rich Swann puts one of his feet on the table, John E. Bravo shows off his shoes as well. Swann and Mack catch up with TJP and Fallah, and the two of them declare that they are gunning for the Impact tag team titles. TJP asks Swann when he last tagged with Mack, and Swann asks if this is a challenge. TJP says "Maybe." This leads to both teams agreeing to face off in a match next week.

Backstage, Tommy Dreamer is met by Don Callis, who says that there are no hard feelings after last week, saying he would rather be on the street than be in Scott D'Amore position. He says that while Dreamer is in a good position in Anthem, he knows he still wants to wrestle, and challenges him to a six-man tag team match against Kenny Omega and The Good Brothers ("The Big LG" Doc Gallows and "Machine Gun" Karl Anderson).

Rohit Raju and Shera beat "The Canadian Destroyer" Petey Williams and Trey Miguel.

Backstage, Gia Miller runs into Sami Callihan and Tommy Dreamer. Tommy Dreamer says he is trying to convince Callihan of the good he has been doing and wants him to join hi steam next week. Sami says he has no problem kicking Dreamer's ass again, but if joining his team means he gets close to beating up Don Callis, he is in. Moose then shows up, says "I'm in," then leaves. Dreamer wonders if he should tell him he is tagging with Callihan, but Callihan says "Why play by the rules?"

Rachael Ellering is in the ring. She says that a lot needs to be said and said the right way. She says that when she became a tag team champion, she walked around with rose-colored glasses and did not see the red flags. She says that she wants to get through this, but she cannot do this without Jordynne Grace, and asks Jordynne to come to the ring. Jordynne heads to the ring, and Rachael thanks her for coming. Rachael calls becoming a Knockouts Tag Team Champion one of the greatest moments in her life and was happy to have Jazz and Jordynne as part of that moment. She says she has reflected on that moment since then, and says that a year ago, she was at the lowest part of her entire life, for she was not herself and it was hard just to get through a day to the point that she hated being pushed into a "pool of positivity" by those she loved.She then says she forced that on her, and says she should have not done that. As she talks about what is going on with Tennille Dashwood, Jordynne says she does not care about Tennille and says she had accomplished a lot before Rachael came along. Rachael says she knows that and wants her to do that, then mentions Tennille again. Jordynne says that if she mentions Tennille again, she will drop her on her head. Suddenly, Jazz shows up. Jazz says she loves the both of them, and says she knew that combining the two of them together would lead to nothing but great things. She calls their tag team title loss a hurdle, and says she knows they can get over it. Jazz says that Jordynne is letting her ego get in her way and needs to get whatever is in her head out. Rachael says this is all on her, and that she wants their tag team title reign to be the start of their journey, not the end. She says that she would love to keep teaming with Jordynne, but she does not know if Jordynne wants the same thing. Jazz tells Jordynne the ball is in her court, but Jordynne says she needs some time to think and leaves. After Jordynne leaves, Kaleb and Tenille show up. Tenille tells Rachael she is just embarrassing herself at this point and says things are not working out with her and Jordynne, and says she is the solution. Tennille says that she could have a lot with her and Kaleb, and says that Rachael cannot see what it standing in front of her. Rachael tells Tennille that them as a team is not happening, and only wants to be in the ring with her as an opponent. Rachael proposes that they have a one-on-one rematch, and Tennille goes for a cheap shot only for Rachael to duck. Jazz punches Kaleb when he gets involved, and Rachael plants Tennille with a spinebuster.



Brian Myers gives Sam Beale some pointers before his match backstage.

Jake Something beats Sam Beale after Myers tosses a chair to Beale only for Jake to keep him from using it. After the match, Brian Myers tells Sam Beale to blame Jake Something for his loss, saying he is not a professional and brought a foreign object into the match.

D'Amore says that a representative from Anthem is coming to handle things. D'Amore tells Moose that he has no time for this and that Moose will have to sit and wait this one out, then closes the door to his office. Moose says that if D'Amore won't give him time, he will make time.

TJP beats Black Taurus. After the match, Moose runs into the ring and attacks TJP before tossing him out of the ring, then says that if Scott D'Amore does not have time for him, then he will have make him have time by hijacking the show again. As Moose sits in the center of the ring, security shows up and Moose threatens to beat them up if they get in the ring. Suddenly, Chris Sabin shows up for the first time since Under Siege and hits Moose with a missile drop kick before saying he is looking for a fight and wanting one with Moose.

Backstage, Gia Miller interviews W. Morrissey, who says that everyone in Impact have the idea that they have friends who will help them succeed and get to the top, and that having friends did not work out for Rich Swann, TJP or Satoshi Kojima. He then says the truth of the matter is that nobody has friends and that everybody will be stabbed in the back, and that he had to learn the hard way that in this life, much less in this industry, the only person he can trust is himself.

Steve Maclin beats Jason Page.



Backstage, Rachael Ellering talks with Jordynne Grace, saying she feels ready for her match with Tenille Dashwood, but Jordynne tells Rachael she is upset that everyone thinks they won the tag titles solely because of Rachael and feels Rachael does not get it.

Backstage, Gia Miller interviews Don Callis. Callis says you can love someone but have disagreements, which describes his relationship with Scott D'Amore. He also says that D'Amore cannot put his feelings and emotions for other people aside. He says that since he barely knows the talent and sees them as numbers on a spreadsheet, it is easier for him to deliver the bad news. As for the representative that is showing up, he is not worried. Callis says that whoever is being sent to the arena is more than likely going to thank him for taking care of a problem that should have been taken care of a long time ago in Sami Callihan, calling Callihan "a liability to the company."

After the commercial break, security surrounds Sami Callihan in the ring, and Scott D'Amore has to show up and call security off and tell Sami that he is on his side, as what happened on Sunday was wrong and unfair and that Callis overstepped his boundaries. D'Amore says that the representative for Anthem is already here to look into things, and asks Sami to give him a chance to get things fixed as he is proving Callis right. Sami says is the heart of the company and does not like authority, then decides to do things D'Amore's way for once.Sami says is the heart of the company and does not like authority, then decides to do things D'Amore's way for once.

Honor Roll - Ring of Honor recap for June 1, 2019

The Allure (Angelina Love, Velvet Sky, "The Exotic Goddess" Mandy Leon) show up to start tonight's show. Velvet says that they brought credibility to women's wrestling before there was Ring of Honor and started a revolution before the evolution, and because of that, they are the most credible competitors to show up in Ring of Honor. She says that she has beaten some of the best the world has to offer, and Angelina boasts of doing the same and becoming a six-time women's champion. Angelina says that not only do The Allure know how to win, but they know how to make an impact, and that is why they chose to debut at G1 Supercard. Mandy tells all "the Twitter trolls hiding in their mothers' basements" that she is the foundation of Women of Honor, and without her, there would be no women's wrestling or Kelly Klein in ROH. As she states that all the women in ROH such as Klein and Jenny Rose have done is embarrass themselves, Rose shows up, followed by Klein. Both sides brawl before security show up to break them apart, and during the brawl, Jenny Rose is blinded with hairspray by Velvet Sky. Klein says that if The Allure wants to come out and talk about their accolades and accomplishments, then it is time for .

Dalton Castle shows up. He says that he has had a little time to think about what has happened as of late and that he has come to terms with the fact that he lost to Rush at G1 Supercard spectacularly. He states that he is not sashmaed to have lost to Rush in 16 seconds, for Rush is nothing more than a dirty, filthy cheater and cheaters need to be punished. Therefore, he is challenging Rush and his brother Dragon Lee to a match at Best In The World, and says that Rush will pay for what he did with his family when he breaks every bone in Dragon Lee's body. As he continues to talk, The Boys show up. Dalton Castle looks for both boys, then tries to attack one of them only for The Boys to send him out of the ring. The double-team does not last, as Castle catches one of them and proceeds to beat both of them up. One of The Boys is placed on a table, and Castle powerslams the other Boy on top of the first Boy. When the table does not break, he drop kicks the table into them to end the show.
