Honor Roll - Ring of Honor recap for October 10, 2015

"Reborne" Matt Sydal beats ACH to tie both men at two victories apiece in Match 4 of their Best of Five Series. After the match, both men are surprisingly and savagely attacked by Chris Sabin and The Addiction ("The Almighty" Christopher Daniels and Frankie Kazarian).

After the break, The Addiction ("The Almighty" Christopher Daniels and Frankie Kazarian) complain that the tag team titles were stolen from them and that ROH is a tyrannical dictatorship. After making fun of the crowd, they demand that justice be served after interference by someone in a red mask who made it so they were beaten without being pinned, and that The Kingdom (Michael Bennett and Matt Taven) bring them the tag team belts. Instead of The Kingdom, they get the All Night Express (Kenny King and Rhett Titus) instead, who say that they are the undisputed tag team champs as they were beaten by the bureacracy. The ANX state that the road to the tag team title goes through them.

Next week: The All Night Express (Kenny King and Rhett Titus) vs. The Addiction ("The Almighty" Christopher Daniels and Frankie Kazarian)! Adam Page vs. Jay Briscoe!

Silas Young shows up with The Beer City Bruiser and Dalton Castle's boys. He insults the boys for dressing up much like they did when they accompanied Dalton Castle, and he sics the Bruiser on them to teach them a lesson on how to "take a whuppin' from a man." The boys fight back, but Silas Young kills their momentum. Silas Young and The Beer City Bruiser beat Dalton Castle's boys in an impromptu tag team match, then carry them both off to the back.

Jay Lethal retains the ROH World Television Championship against Takaaki Watanabe after Truth Martini distracts the referee, allowing Lethal to hit Watanabe with a low blow.

Honor Roll - Ring of Honor recap for July 4, 2015

Dalton Castle beats Takaaki Watanabe. After the match, he says that he's the only real man in Ring of Honor after Best in the World. Not surprisingly, this raises the ire of Silas Young, who approaches the entrance ramp while being held back by several officials.

Nigel McGuinness introduces Jay Lethal, who comes down to the ring along with Truth Martini, J Diesel and Donovan Dijak. McGuinness congratulates Lethal, and Martini says that history was made at Best in the World as the world's greatest first-generation wrestler conquered Jay Briscoe. As for Lethal himself, he says what he's been saying the whole time: he is the best in the world. Before Lethal leaves, McGuinness asks Lethal which title he will vacate - the World Television title or the actual World title. Lethal has no plans of vacating either title, and that if he has to defend both titles on the same night in two separate matches, he'll do it. Next week on television, he defends against Mark Briscoe, and Lethal plans to destroy him. As for Death Before Dishonor on July 24th, he plans to retain against Roderick Strong. Roderick Strong shows up and tells Lethal he plans to walk out of the event as the new World champ.

Roderick Strong says that he now has not only the title shot that he wanted, but that he earned. He plans to take the World title from Jay Lethal at Death Before Dishonor.

Next week: Adam Page faces "Reborn" Matt Sydal. Page plans to use him as example of what he'll do to ACH at Death Before Dishonor.

Before the next match, Maria Kanellis knows that Adam Cole is upset after what happened in Best in the World, but says it's not his fault and takes full responsibility, saying that she believes in him, and that this Kingdom will never fall.

"Unbreakable" Michael Elgin and reDRagon (Bobby Fish and Kyle O'Reilly) beat The Kingdom (Adam Cole, Matt Taven, Michael Bennett). To the surprise of Taven, Bennett and Maria Kanellis, Cole raises O'Reilly arm after they shake hands, and leaves without the rest of The Kingdom.
