Final Impact - Impact Wrestling recap for June 23, 2022



Black Taurus beats Andrew Everett in the BTI match.

Honor No More show up at the start of the show, and Mike Bennett commandeers a camera. Eddie Edwards apologizes for interrupting the regularly scheduled program and Impact Wrestling's "never ending celebration" even after Slammiversary is over. Eddie says everyone cannot get enough of TNA and the nostalgia, and says TNA left Nashville, Tennessee in order to achieve something bigger and better than they could get over there, and he calls Honor No More the one thing that should be cheered and applauded. He then says that the ones doing the most celebration are not, then goes on to say the TNA Originals did not win and that Honor No More did not lose before saying "At least one of us lost...PCO." Vincent says he did not bring PCO back to life not for Impact Wrestling, but for Honor No More, then brings up Traci Brooks attack Maria Kanellis-Bennett from behind. He also mentions D'Lo Brown trying to save the day and the "artificial referee" Earl Hebner making the pinfall count, then mentions Scott D'Amore was on commentary the whole time and it was as if Impact planned this all along. Matt Taven says Impact Wrestling was mediocre until Honor No More showed up and the only reason Impact is trending, then says that they are putting money in Scott D'Amore's pocket. He also says Ring of Honor would have closed in 2019 if it were not for him. He then says that he was blamed for all of Ring of Honor's problems, then says that he did not kill Ring of Honor and that he saved Impact. Suddenly, American's Most Wanted ("The Cowboy" James Storm and "Wildcat" Chris Harris) shows up. James Storm re-introduces himself and Chris Harris and says they grew up in a time where one had to fight to the top and earn the respect of their peers, and says that he and Harris have done this for the last twenty-five years. He then says that if Honor No More were good, they would have taken that loss, learned from it and came back, then tells Honor No More that they suck. Kenny King asks what year it is again and that James Storm is blowing smoke, and that there is nothing worse than a drunk cowboy and a weak pussycat, but Chris Harris threatens to make him cry harder than he did on The Bachelorette. Harris says he and Storm may be a little bit broken down, but they are proud of what they have accomplished in the last twenty years as well as in TNA, and says that he and Storm came in together and will go out together. He then says that he and Storm made a couple of friends at Slammiversary in the form of The Good Brothers ("The Big LG" Doc Gallows and "Machine Gun" Karl Anderson), who show up. The four of them get in the ring and brawl with Honor No More. As Matt Taven and Mike Bennett confront Chris Harris, The Briscoes (Jay and Mark Briscoe) show up and even the numbers game, and Vincent becomes the recipient of a Magic Killer as Honor No More retreats.

Backstage, "The Quintessential Diva" Gisele Shaw meets with Alisha Edwards and hands her a cupcake, then says she wants nothing to do with Masha Slamovich and that neither of them are a team and that Alisha should team up with Lady Frost instead. After Alisha says she might as well team up with Lady Frost, Gisele says she is destined for tag team greatness but needs to find the right partner, then walks off to do just that.

Backstage, Honor No More confront Scott D'Amore, who tells Honor No More that they bit off more than they could chew as Maria says Impact's win was a fluke. He then puts Honor No More in a ten-man tag match against The Good Brothers ("The Big LG" Doc Gallows and "Machine Gun" Karl Anderson), The Briscoes (Jay and Mark Briscoe) and "The Cowboy" James Storm at Against All Odds, then puts Taven, Bennett and Eddie in a six man-tag match against The Briscoes and James Storm tonight.

"The Virtuosa" Deonna Purrazzo guests on commentary for the next match.

Mia Yim beats Chelsea Green by countering the Un-Pretty-Her with Eat Defeat after "The Virtuosa" Deonna Purrazzo shoves Mia Yim off the top rope only for Mickie James to show up and beat up Deonna.



Backstage, Gia Miller interviews The Influence (Tenille Dashwood and Madison Rayne). Madison Rayne mentions that her nose is fractured after they collided, then Gisele Shaw shows up wanting to join them, saying she was on the wrong team and that the right team might be in front of her. Tennille is hesitant, but Madison says that if Gisele were able to take out Rosemary or Taya, they would consider her a part of The Influence. Gisele says "Consider it done."

Bhupinder Gujjar and Shark Boy beat Johnny Swinger and "Outlandish" Zicky Dice. After the match, Deaner and Joe Doering attack both teams, and Deaner and Joe Doering gang up on Gujjar in particular before Deaner says that they are not going anywhere until "The Walking Weapon" Josh Alexander enters the ring. After the commercial break, Josh Alexander shows up and heads to the ring, then tells Deaner to start talking. Deaner says it is not what he has to say as much as it is that Alexander feels, and asks Alexander how it feels from his demise in Joe Doering. Deaner mentions that Doering has never been pinned in an Impact ring and will be challenging him for the Impact World Championship at Against All Odds, then says the feeling of fear is going down into Alexander's stomach. He tells Alexander to embrace the fear and the fact that the last time he faced Doering, he lost, and that he could not beat him once and cannot beat him again before Doering brings the title back to "the family of Violent By Design." (Eric Young, Deaner, Joe Doering) Alexander says the family is thinning out without Eric Young around, then Doering is wanting to take something he has worked too hard to get back, then says nobody has heard from Young since Slammiversary and that the same thing could happen to Doering. Doering and Deaner gang up on Alexander, then security runs into the ring only to be tossed out of the ring before Alexander fends Doering and Deaner off. Deaner has to hold Doering back and tell him to head to the back alongside the referees, then Alexander and Deaner have their match tonight early.

"The Walking Weapon" Josh Alexander beats Deaner with an ankle lock.



Backstage, Gia Miller interviews Frankie Kazarian. Kazarian says giving Honor No More the beating they deserved felt great, but when he came back to Impact, it was to answer a challenge twenty years in the making. Next week, he gets to settle his rivalry with Chris Sabin and prove once and for all that he is the future.

In backstage footage from Slammiversary, Jordynne Grace thanks her opponents from the Queen of the Mountain Match, saying she would not be where she is without them and that they will have to work harder than her to take the Knockouts title. We then hear from Tasha Steelz and Savannah Evans. Tasha says Jordynne should not thank her just yet, as she is going to take the Knockouts title back from her at Against All Odds, assuming Jordynne can get past Savannah.

Sami Callihan quickly beats Jack Price. After the match, Moose gets in the ring and hits Callihan with a Spear, then hits him repeatedly with a chair before slamming him through a table.



Backstage, The Good Brothers ("The Big LG" Doc Gallows and "Machine Gun" Karl Anderson) tell The Briscoes (Jay and Mark Briscoe) that they have their backs tonight. "The Cowboy" James Storm tells "Wildcat" Chris Harris to stay in the back and keep his promise to him and his family.

Backstage, Sami Callihan runs into Gail Kim and says Monster's Ball was just the beginning and that a friend of his has a good idea: a Raven's Clockwork House of Fun Match. Gail Kim says he has it against Moose at Against All Odds.

Honor No More (Eddie Edwards, Matt Taven, Mike Bennett) beat The Briscoes (Jay and Mark Briscoe) and "The Cowboy" James Storm in a six-man tag match. After the match, Honor No More attack The Briscoes and James Storm, then The Good Brothers run in to even the numbers. Despite this, Honor No More come out on top in the brawl before wrapping a chair around Mark Briscoe's ankle and hitting it with chairs.

Final Impact - Impact Wrestling recap for June 16, 2022



Laredo Kid beats Blake Christian in the BTI Match.

Tasha Steelz and Savannah Evans beat Jordynne Grace and Mia Yim after Jordynne inadvertently hits Mia Yim. After the match, Gia Miller interviews Deonna Purrazzo and Chelsea Green - who has been watching from backstage - and asks if they are going to be a team in Queen of the Mountain. Deonna says there are no teams in Queen of the Mountain, but Chelsea says that with all the alliances, it would not make sense for them not to team up. When asked if it was between them, Deonna says there can only be one Queen of the Mountain. As Deonna walks off, Chelsea says "She's not wrong."



Backstage, Gia Miller interviews Wes Brisco and Garrett Bischoff. Garrett says his time in Impact was the greatest time of his life, and Brisco says nobody on the roster can mess with Aces and Eights. Suddenly, Honor No More shows up, and Vincent says that Honor No More runs things in Impact. Kenny King mentions Garrett and Brisco's family ties and tells them to get out, and this starts a brawl that officials break up. One of the officials is D'Lo Brown, who says that they don't handle things like they used to anymore. Brisco asks D'Lo if he remembers being an Aces and Eights member, and Garrett tells him to dig down deep because they want a piece of Honor No More. D'Lo Brown says the best part of being part of the office is that he can talk to Scott D'Amore and make the match official, and says he will take care of that.

We hear from "The Walking Weapon" Josh Alexander, who talks about his Impact World Championship victory and how holding the title always means there is a target on his back. He also says that he has been a fan of TNA and Impact, and that Eric Young inspired him to chase his dream. Eric Young says the perfume of victory is a very sweet taste and that the images are burned in his mind forever, and that since then, he has moved on from the past and that the world belongs to him and Violent By Design (Eric Young, Joe Doering, Deaner). Alexander says he is the present standard of Impact, but Eric Young says he knows what makes Alexander tick and that Alexander does not have that advantage against him. Eric Young says the world belongs to him, but Alexander says it does not.

Trey Miguel beats "Speedball" Mike Bailey after countering the running spin kick to the corner with an inside cradle, giving Bailey his first Impact singles loss.



We see a video package chronicling the injury and return of Sami Callihan and his current feud with Moose.

The Briscoes (Jay and Mark Briscoe) beat Bullet Club ("Switchblade" Jay White and Chris Bey) with a schoolkid pin from Mark Briscoe to Chris Bey.



We hear from Raj Singh and Shera regarding the Reverse Battle Royal at Slammiversary. As Raj Singh says Shera will win it all, Johnny Swinger and "Outlandish" Zicky Dice show up, and Swinger says he will be winning. Zicky Dice brags about how quickly Johnny Swinger got eliminated in the Gauntlet For The Gold Match, but Raj Singh reminds him that the Reverse Battle Royal works differently. Johnny Swinger says he has some tape watching to do.

Wes Brisco and Garrett Bischoff are joined by D'Lo Brown before their match.

We see a video package for Honor No More vs. Team Impact at Slammiversary.

It is announced that Nick Aldis will be returning to Impact at Slammiversary as part of Team Impact.

Honor No More (Vincent and Kenny King) beat Aces and Eights (Wes Brisco and Garett Bischoff) following the distraction from Eddie Edwards. After the match, Honor No More surround D'Lo Brown, but D'Lo Brown fends them off and hits Kenny King with the Sky High. When he goes for the Lo Down, however, Matt Taven and Mike Bennett attack D'Lo. Suddenly, The Motor City Machine Guns and Frankie Kazarian show up and make the save for D'Lo Brown.



Scott D'Amore moderates a contract signing between Eric Young and "The Walking Weapon" Josh Alexander for their Impact World Championship match at Slammiversary. Violent By Design (Eric Young, Joe Doering, Deaner) arrive first, followed by Alexander. Eric Young says he does not care about history and only cares about himself, the future and being Impact World Champion, then demands Alexander sign the contract first. Alexander is surprised that Eric Young does not care about history when he himself was part of it and says that Impact Wrestling showed him a different style of pro wrestling that made him want to chase his dream even when he was in a hospital bed. He says that both he and Eric Young owe so much to the company, and if Eric Young does not care about Impact's history, he does, and he knows no better way to celebrate than kicking Eric Young's ass. He signs the contract. Eric Young says Alexander is lying to himself and the fans, as he is a thousand times better than the fans will ever be, then says the fans' opinion does not matter and that he will open Alexander's eyes to the fact that he rides the line between chaos and order. After saying that chaos can be beautiful and that he will open Alexander's eyes to the truth, he signs the contract, then dismisses Scott D'Amore to talk to Alexander "alone," but Alexander knows what is going on. Eric Young accuses Alexander of being scared, but Alexander says he is coming into Slammiversary with the company and its history on its back, then mentions the Eric Young that used to be a fan favorite that he and everyone got behind. When Alexander says the fan favorite Eric Young would be disgusted at the present Eric Young, Eric Young topples the table and strikes at Alexander, and Scott D'Amore takes a shot at Deaner. Violent By Design overpower both D'Amore and Alexander, and Eric Young choke Alexander out with his own jacket as Deaner and Doering tear up the ring so that Eric Young can cut Alexander with a turnbuckle hook. Violent By Design then tear up the ring and expose the wooden planks before choking Alexander out with a ring rope, and Eric Young hits Alexander with a piledriver on the exposed planks to end the show.

Backstage, Gia Miller interviews The Briscoes (Jay and Mark Briscoe) and "The Walking Weapon" Josh Alexander. Mark Briscoe says he and Jay are not only the baddest tag team in Impact, but on the planet, and Jay says they have beaten Violent By Design (Eric Young, Joe Doering, Deaner) twice, yet they are still angry. He says that tonight, they have their third man. Alexander says that The Briscoes will put a beef to rest while he sends a message to Eric Young that he is the future of the company. Alexander leaves, then The Briscoes meet The Good Brothers ("The Big LG" Doc Gallows and "Machine Gun" Karl Anderson). Doc Gallows tells The Briscoes that they cannot call themselves the tag team champions until they have beaten them, and Karl Anderson says that until then, their reign doesn't count. The Briscoes take this as a challenge and accept the match.

Masha Slamovich quickly beats Havok. After the match, Rosemary checks on Havok, and Crazzy Steve and Black Taurus soon show up to do the same.



Backstage, Trey Miguel is thanked backstage for his victory, especially by Blake Christian and Alex Shelley. Kenny King shows up to spoil the moment by proclaiming himself the greatest X Division Champion of all time and call Christian a nobody who should be listening to him, which leads to Christian challenging him to a match. Kenny King wants none of it, but Trey Miguel uses Kenny King's boasts of being the greatest X Division Champion of all time against him and forces him to accept the match.

Backstage, Rich Swann says Matt Cardona has been ducking him ever since he challenged him for the Digital Media title, so he is going to be looking for him. As for "The Drama King" Matthew Rehwoldt, he tells him to face him in the ring like a man so he can get his revenge.

Jordynne Grace beats Chelsea Green.



Backstage, Scott D'Amore is swarmed by Honor No More, and Mike Bennett wants something done about what has happened to Maria Kanellis-Bennett, and wants a rematch with The Good Brothers ("The Big LG" Doc Gallows and "Machine Gun" Karl Anderson) for himself and Matt Taven. D'Amore says that The Good Brothers' dance card is already full with The Briscoes (Jay and Mark Briscoe) at Slammiversary, but Eddie Edwards warns D'Amore that if Honor No More does not get what they want, nobody does.

Backstage, Gia Miller interviews "The Virtuosa" Deonna Purrazzo. Purrazzo says everyone who shows up in Impact wants to make a name for themselves against her, and that she is the face of the Knockouts division. As she says she will make history at Slammiversary, Tasha Steelz and Savannah Evans show up. Tasha says she and Savannah are the only ones making history around here, then reminds her they have a common enemy in Mia Yim and invites her to Savannah's match against Mia next week so they can get rid of Mia once and for all.

Chris Sabin vs. Frankie Kazarian ends with both men being attacked by Honor No More.



Backstage, Kenny King brags about Honor No More's attack on Chris Sabin and Frankie Kazarian, and Honor No More says that Impact does not deserve to have twenty years to celebrate after showing lies, dishonor and disrespect, especially to them. Heath and Rhino confront them for their words and remind them that they were fired and that Impact gave him and Rhino an opportunity while calling Honor No More ungrateful complainers. Security has to get between both sides.

Bhupinder Gujjar and W. Morrissey beat Raj Singh and Shera.



Backstage, Gia Miller interviews Moose. Moose says Sami Callihan is the biggest fraud in professional wrestling and attacks him from behind because he is scared of him. He says that in their last match, Sami left on a stretcher. Steve Maclin then shows up. Maclin says that he would rather work alone, and that if they are to beat PCO and W. Morrissey, Moose must get Sami out of his head. Suddenly, some static occurs, scaring Moose. Maclin tells Moose to get out of his head.

Final Impact - Impact Wrestling recap for April 28, 2022



Vincent beats Crazzy Steve in the BTI match.

Violent By Design (Eric Young, Joe Doering, Deaner) head to the ring. Eric Young says that power and control are what Violent By Design desired and took after running through an eight-team gauntlet match at Rebellion, and that the picture the fans are looking at right now is permanent. Young says that picture is forever, and if the people are being honest, there is nothing that they or any team in this world or the next can do about it. After he says this world belongs to Violent By Design, Rhino and Heath show up. Rhino says that at Rebellion, he and Heath did not get the retribution they deserved, then says he still hears Eric Young's voice in the back of his mind from when he brainwashed him and that they have unfinished business. He then says that they not only want retribution, but the tag team titles, and as Rhino asks if that is what they want to see, The Briscoes (Jay and Mark Briscoe) show up. Jay Brisco says the fans must be crazy if they thought they wouldn't come back after Multiverse of Matches, then makes it clear that they are coming for the Impact World Tag Team Championships. Heath welcomes The Briscoes to Impact, then tells them that Impact is a new world and he and Rhino are at the front of the line while The Briscoes are at the back. Jay says he goes to the back of the line for nobody, but Heath says he and Rhino made a New Year's resolution to become tag team champions. Eric Young says this is The Briscoes' and Heath and Rhino's problem while Violent By Design themselves are the problem, and tells them to figure it out themselves. After Young says to come see them when they do, Violent By Design leave. Rhino says that while he and Heath want the tag team titles, The Briscoes do not want them as badly as they do, and asks The Briscoes if they want a fight. The Briscoes are game, and Jay Briscoe asks for a referee. A referee shows up, and the match begins.



The Briscoes (Jay and Mark Briscoe) beat Heath and Rhino to earn a shot at the Impact World Tag Team Championships.



Backstage, Moose meets with Scott D'Amore for not giving him proper time to prepare for "The Walking Weapon" Josh Alexander, whom Moose accuses Scott D'Amore of favoring. Scott D'Amore tells Moose that he has stayed out of his way and let him set the wrestling world again, and that he is giving him another chance to prove that he is the best, as the world champion will defend against a hand-picked opponent at Under Siege. Moose says he will get the world title back as he tells D'Amore to concentrate on consoling Josh Alexander's family after what he does to him.

We see a vignette for EGV.

Bhupinder Gujjar beats VSK. After the match, Raj Singh and Shera show up. Raj Singh talks with Bhupinder Gujjar, but Shera gets involved and nearly comes to blows with Gujjar. Shera then grabs VSK and slams him, and Raj Singh has to keep Shera back.



Backstage, Gia Miller interviews "Inevitable" Ace Austin, who says he became X Division Champion for a third time on his own. He calls himself "Trey Miguel's greatest weakness," and he will keep meeting Trey with The Fold as he stays champion. Suddenly, Rocky Romero shows up and tells Ace Austin that The Best of the Super Juniors is coming up and that he can put a good word in for him. Austin entertains the idea before telling him to get off his set. Rocky Romero then challenges Ace Austin for the X Division Championship, and when Ace says he does not make the matches, Romero says he will talk to Scott D'Amore, then leaves. When Ace leaves, "Speedball" Mike Bailey shows up to shake Ace's hand, but Ace walks away.

We hear from Steve Maclin, who says that Scott D'Amore is hand-picking an opponent for the world champion at Under Siege. Maclin says he has done nothing but stack up bodies since he showed up, and that there is only one obvious choice for the match. He then asks what will happen if a walking weapon or a wrestling god meets mayhem.

Honor No More (Eddie Edwards, Matt Taven, Mike Bennett) beat "Speedball" Mike Bailey and The Motor City Machine Guns (Chris Sabin and Alex Shelley) in a six-man tag team match. As Honor No More head up the ramp, Bullet Club ("Switchblade" Jay White, Chris Bey, "The Big LG" Doc Gallows, "Machine Gun" Karl Anderson) shows up, and both teams brawl on the outside. Bullet Club comes out on top in the brouhaha.



Backstage, Gia Miller interviews "The Walking Weapon" Josh Alexander, who says he is no longer the one world champion who never had time to wear the title around his waist after all he has been through, then mentions Moose accusing him of having an advantage. Alexander says he will shut Moose up during their rematch, then says he cannot wait to see who his opponent will be at Under Siege.

Taya Valkyrie heads to the ring. Taya says she has had a long time to self-reflect over the last year away from friends and family and seeing her passion and creativity being held captive, and now she stands in the ring in Impact knowing who she is. Taya says she knows her worth and that sometimes, you have to hit rock bottom to get the motivation to reach the top again, which is what she did at Rebellion when she beat Deonna Purrazzo to become a four-time AAA Reina de Reinas Champion. Suddenly, Taya is attacked from behind by Deonna Purrazzo, but Taya fires back and the two women brawl. Deonna gets Taya in the Fujiwara Armbar, then Decay (Rosemary and Havok) show up. Deonna gets out of the ring, then Rosemary confronts Taya before Tasha Steelz and Savannah Evans show up.



Decay (Rosemary and Havok) beat Tasha Steelz and Savannah Evans.

It's time for All About Me, which now has a new set.

When they come back on, "The Quintessential Diva" Gisele Shaw is on the set.

Honor Roll - Ring of Honor recap for July 27, 2019

Before the next match, "The Last Real Man" Silas Young realizes it has been two years since Josh "The Goods" Woods has debuted in Ring of Honor and that he has done nothing. He says it does not have to be that way, and that Woods should be getting the respect of his peers, but he is not respected like he is. He asks Goods if he wants to come out to golf claps his entire career, or if he wants to be great and earn respect, for a guy like him is more than a little wet behind the ears in the business and he has a lot more learning to do before earning respect. As the referee returns the microphone, Silas kicks Woods in the groin before winning with an inside cradle. "The Last Real Man" Silas Young beats Josh "The Goods" Woods.

Matt Taven shows up. He says that he has both earned and deserved the ROH World Championship, and says that in the last year, there has not been a man more deserving of being crowned the World Champion than him. He then tells the fans to think about working at McDonald's for a whole year and going unappreciated, and talks about what he had done in the past year before declaring that it all worked out in the end and that the memory of him will live on forever. He then says he can call himself the undisputed ROH World Champion, and if anyone wants a shot at him and the title, they will have to do what he did for the past year and earn it. Flip Gordon suddenly shows up and tells Taven he forgot about him and his winning the Sea of Honor Tournament, but Taven says there's a difference between winning a tournament where everyone else is too busy at the bar and winning the big one. Gordon says that he has talked with ROH officials and assured them that his knee is at 100%, and that they have made him the new #1 contender for the ROH World Championship, which means that his knee is going to kick 100% of Taven's ass.

He says he has watched the company he has put his heart and soul into deteriorate before his very eyes, and guys like Bully Ray and The Briscoes (Jay and Mark Briscoe) run around and cause chaos because they can. He says that he will not stand for this anymore, and he says that the worst part about it is that there is a man with a fake belt running around with a fake World Championship. Lethal says that when he thinks about this, his soul cries out for change in ROH, which he says will change soon. Suddenly, Lifeblood (Juice Robinson, Mark Haskins, David Finley, Bandido, "Hot Sauce" Tracy Williams, Tenille Dashwood) shows up, and Juice Robinson says they are speaking the same language. Lethal tells Robinson says it does not end with them, and says he does not want to join Lifeblood, but Robinson says there was never an invitation. Lethal tells Robinson he respects that, and that he believes they want what is best for the company. He gives massive respect to each individual wrestler in Lifeblood, then tells Robinson he does not have to tell him what he has to do to get ROH back on track. He says that he believes Lifeblood can get ROH back on the track it should be on, but he has tried and it is not easy. He wishes Lifeblood luck, but as he leaves the ring, Robinson tells Lethal that they both feel the same way, and says that if there are more like-minded individuals like them in the back, then they should stop singing and start bringing. He then tells Lethal to find four such individuals, then they can get to it. Lethal says he has so much on his plate, but since Lifeblood want to lead by example, he is willing to do this and give the fans a match they can be proud of next week.

We hear from The Briscoes (Jay and Mark Briscoe), who say that they are ready for SoCal Uncensored ("The Heavy Metal Rebel" Frankie Kazarian and Scorpio Sky), whose glimmer of hope from their rematch clause will be the death of them.

Referee Paul Turner steps in for Todd Sinclair for the remainder of the match.

"The Villain" Marty Scurll shows up. He talks about what is next for him, and says he has been beating around the bush for far too long. He says that he is the top man in ROH, and that it is time that he earns the top prize that represents it. He says that he made his intentions to do so clear when he challenged Jay Lethal. The Kingdom (Matt Taven, TK O'Ryan, Vinny Marseglia) shows up, and asks how many times it will take to teach Scurll that he is the real ROH World Champion and not Jay Lethal. He also says that he has been waiting for Scurll to be all alone and without back-up in ROH, and that he is now surrounded by an entire Kingdom. Scurll admits his friends have left him, but that does not mean he cannot make new ones. The lights go out, and when they come back on, Brody King is standing next to Scurll. The lights go out again, and when they come back on, the sound of electricity is heard and seen on the video screen, and when they come back on, PCO is also standing next to Scurll.

Before the next match, Matt Taven asks if the match he is in is a joke, and says he knows The Boys are trying to stick up for Dalton Castle before telling them he and TK O'Ryan will hurt them and put them on the shelf like they did Castle. He tells TK O'Ryan to go up to the commentary table and talk about how great he is, as he can beat them all by himself and teach them a lesson their father should have taught them: you don't mess with the leader of the pride, especially when he is the real ROH World Champion. He then hits one of The Boys with his championship belt, starting the next match.

Matt Taven beats The Boys after Vinny Marseglia drags one of The Boys underneath the ring.

We hear from "The American Nightmare" Cody Rhodes, who talks about his time in ROH as well as how the odds have always been against him when it came to reclaiming the ROH World Championship, and says when it comes to a one-on-one match for the title against Jay Lethal, he would not want it any other way.

Ian Riccoboni interviews "The Octopus" Jonathan Gresham in the ring. Gresham says that it is obvious that his tag team partner Jay Lethal has a ROH World Championship match at Final Battle, leaving him without a match. He says that he wants to prove he is the best pure wrestler in the world, and at Final Battle, he is issuing an open challenge to anyone in the world at Final Battle so he can prove he is best pure wrestler in the world. Suddenly, Zack Sabre Jr. shows up on the video screen to announce that he will take on Gresham at Final Battle. Afterwards, Gresham tells the fans to tune in to Honor Club so they can watch him make Zack Sabre Jr. tap out.

We see "Almighty" Christopher Daniels on the phone in a hotel room. After he hangs up, he tells "The Heavy Metal Rebel" Frankie Kazarian and Scorpio Sky that they have contracts, but he does not, because they are tag team champions. Daniels tells Kazarian and Sky that he will figure something out.

After this, both team brawl until security shows up and stops everything. Suddenly, SoCal Uncensored ("The Heavy Metal Rebel" Frankie Kazarian and Scorpio Sky) show up, and Scorpio reminds everyone that this match was supposed to decide #1 contenders for the tag team titles, but both teams lost. He says this does not work for the fans and that it definitely does not work for SoCal Uncensored. Kazarian mentions that the last time he held one of the titles, The Young Bucks took it from them in something other than an ordinary match that sent both him and "Almighty" Christopher Daniels to the hospital. He also reminds The Briscoes that SoCal Uncensored is still at war with them before declaring that they are ready to defend the tag team titles at Final Battle, but not in a ordinary match. Instead, it will be in a Ladder War.

Next week: Jeff Cobbs vs. Josh "The Goods" Woods! "Almighty" Christopher Daniels vs. Kenny King! Guerrero Maya Jr. and Stuka Jr. vs. SoCal Uncensored ("The Heavy Metal Rebel" Frankie Kazarian and Scorpio Sky)!

Honor Roll - Ring of Honor recap for November 17, 2018

Dalton Castle and The Boys show up. He talks about the injury that has put him on the shelf for three months, then says he didn't just start sipping mint juleps; he sipped mint juleps and put in the work while going through physical rehabilitation to get back in the ring. Now that he's back, he is reclaiming the ROH World Championship. Dalton Castle tells Jay Lethal that he is back and that he wants the champion. Suddenly, Matt Taven shows up, says that Dalton may be confused and that he is the real World Champion. Dalton pretends to be confused, then tells Matt Taven to go home because he is "Myrtle Beach drunk." Taven says Dalton is hilarious, but when he had the chance to put the company on his back, he was spineless and he took his ball and went home, and says he should have left for good. Dalton Castle calls Taven a "delusional, narcissistic, tall, gangly, uncoordinated idiot," and as long as there are challengers like him in the company, he will never be the real ROH World Champion. Taven tells Castle has a surprise for him, then red balloons fly out of the ring before Vinny Marseglia comes out to attack Dalton Castle and The Boys along with Taven and TK O'Ryan, who shows up shortly afterwards. Marseglia and TK O'Ryan get some steel chairs in the ring, then hit Dalton with steel chairs all at once.

It is announced that "Almighty" Christopher Daniels will not be able to compete in tonight's main event due to the Jay Driller on the stage by Jay Briscoe from last week.

Before the next match, Shane "Hurricane" Helms plays the same trick on "The Villain" Marty Scurll that Scurll played on him last time: Helms is behind Scurll in the ring while Delirious shows up on the stage dressed as The Hurricane.

"The Villain" Marty Scurll beats Shane "Hurricane" Helms in a no-disqualification match billed as "Hero vs. Villain IV" after a Graduation into some thumb tacks following a superkick to Helms's face after thumbtacks are placed in Helms' mouth.

After the match, "Almighty" Christopher Daniels - now wearing a neck brace - celebrates with Kazarian and Scorpio Sky.

Honor Roll - Ring of Honor recap for October 20, 2018

Before the next match, Coast To Coast (Shaheem Ali and LSG) show up, saying that their match is later tonight, but since they have been undefeated all of 2018, they want their match now. They call out The Briscoes (Jay and Mark Briscoe), who show up, getting tonight's tag team title match started early.

The Briscoes (Jay and Mark Briscoe) retain the ROH World Tag Team Championships against Coast To Coast (Shaheem Ali and LSG).

Jay Lethal says Matt Taven has a problem with the fans and the management, and that Taven now has a problem with him after carrying around a fake world title and laying his hands on him after Death Before Dishonor. Taven may be the one with the problem, but he will be the one to solve it.

Matt Taven tells Jay Lethal it is nothing personal, and that he is the real world champion.

She also mentions being attacked from behind at Death Before Dishonor, saying she does not know who forced her onto the sidelines and that she cannot do anything about it until she heals. She intends to take some time off, but she will return to confront whoever attacked her from behind and says that if she was able to wrestle at 50%, then she will do more at 100%.

BJ Whitmer guests on commentary for this week.

"The Gatekeeper" Kelly Klein beats Madison Rayne.

We hear from SoCal Uncensored ("Almighty" Christopher Daniels, "The Heavy Metal Rebel" Frankie Kazarian, Scorpio Sky). Daniels says that despite The Kingdom's (Matt Taven, Vinny Marseglia, TK O'Ryan) shenanigans, they are still the ROH World Six-Man Tag Team Champions, and that next week, they will take on Bullet Club. Kazarian says this is one more excuse to spit at and punch the faces of Bullet Club as well as kick them in the balls on the way to one more victory. Scorpio Sky says there is dissension in the Bullet Club while SoCal Uncensored is still an intact unit, and that they will tear Bullet Club apart themselves before the internal strife does.

Jay Lethal says that next week, Punishment Martinez will be stepping in ring with the franchise of Ring of Honor. He says that Punishment Martinez is a bigger man than he is, but luckily for him, this is a pro wrestling match and he is one of the greatest pro wrestlers. He also says Punishment Martinez has a victory over him that he plans to right, and hopes Martinez brings everything he has next week because he knows he will.

The Motor City Machine Guns (Chris Sabin and Alex Shelley) are in the ring. Sabin says that when they got back together, they planned on becoming ROH World Tag Team Champions, and they reached that goal. Now that they are no longer tag team champs, they have no idea where to go from there, and wonder if they should go their separate ways or stay together and prove they are the best tag team there has ever been. He says they do not know, but they do know they have been to Hell and back, and no matter what happens, Shelley is his brother for life. Both men hug, then The Dawgs (Rhett Titus and Will Ferrara) interrupt before Shelley can say something, saying they don't care about their problems. Rhett Titus then says he had a favorite movie as a child in Old Yeller and that sometimes, you have to put Old Yeller down. The Dawgs then attack the Guns, and this starts an impromptu match.

Suddenly, Cheeseburger shows up and says he respected and trusted Bully Ray, then calls him "a piece of shit." Bully Ray grabs Cheeseburger by the throat and choke slams him with one hand. Suddenly, ROH CEO Joe Koff says he has nobody to blame for himself for bringing Bully Ray into ROH, and tells Bully Ray he is done as ROH Enforcer. Bully Ray then declares that as of right now, he is officially un-retired. Joe Koff leaves, then Bully puts his WWE Hall of Fame ring on and flips the crowd off.

We hear from Bullet Club ("The American Nightmare" Cody Rhodes, "The Villain" Marty Scurll, "Hangman" Adam Page). Cody says that they despise SoCal Uncensored ("Almighty" Christopher Daniels, "The Heavy Metal Rebel" Frankie Kazarian, Scorpio Sky), and that after they beat them, they should get a shot at the ROH World Six-Man Tag Team Championships before Cody takes back the ROH World Championship.

Honor Roll - Ring of Honor recap for March 31, 2018

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

The Briscoes (Jay and Mark Briscoe) beat Kenny King and Dalton Castle in a Champion's Challenge Match. Later in the match, "The Last Real Man" Silas Young shows up and distracts Kenny King, and though Kenny King fights back, he falls victim to the Jay Driller. After the match, Silas Young grabs the ROH World Television Championship and holds up while standing over Kenny King. "The Villain" Marty Scurll then gets in the ring with the ROH World Championship after Silas Young leaves and Dalton Castle checks on Kenny King, but instead of attacking Castle, he hands the ROH World Championship to him.

We hear from The Kingdom (Matt Taven, Vinny Marseglia, TK O'Ryan). Marseglia says that for one year, Ring of Honor has never given them a shot at the ROH World Six-Man Tag Team Championships. Taven thought Bully Ray would be their knight in shining armor, but instead, he is just another Melvin, and if Bully Ray thinks he can stop them from beating the conspiracy against them, he has another thing coming.

The Dawgs (Rhett Titus and Will Ferrara) guest on commentary for the next match.

Cheeseburger vs. Kikutaro ends with The Dawgs (Rhett Titus and Will Ferrara) attacking both men before double-teaming Cheeseburger. ROH Enforcer Bully Ray runs into the ring to make the save for Cheeseburger, whom he helps up.

We see a run-down of the card for Supercard of Honor XII.

"The American Nightmare" Cody Rhodes shows up. He says that Bullet Club is fine, and then asks the crowd to name a Kenny Omega match that made them feel something that didn't involve a mega-star opponent, then says they cannot. He then says that the perception of Kenny Omega being the best wrestler today is false, as he is the one that truly dominates, as Kenny Omega has called him a reject from WWE when Omega was a reject of NXT. Cody also says that Omega had the gall to put his hands on Brandi Rhodes, and as soon as he mentions this, "The Cleaner" Kenny Omega shows up with the disembodied head of Berry The Drug-Free Bear. Kenny brings up Cody saing "Bullet Club is fine," but he should have considered bringing it up with him. As for Brandi Rhodes, when she forced herself on him and kissed him in the ring, he was confused, and he is even more confused about Cody's reaction as it is common knowledge that this is not the first time this has happened. He then says what's done is done, and says the kiss was so suspiciously long, he would not be surprised if she wanted to do it again. This starts a brawl between Omega and Cody, and ROH security, Flip Gordon and the rest of Bullet Club has to run in to separate both men. "Hangman' Adam Page and "The Villain" Marty Scurll are with Cody while The Young Bucks (Matt and Nick Jackson) and Flip Gordon are with Kenny Omega.

Saturday, January 6, 2018

Honor Roll - Ring of Honor recap for January 6, 2018

Dalton Castle and The Boys show up. Dalton Castle is very happy to be here right now, as even though he has made quite a few mistakes in his life, coming to Ring of Honor is not one of them. Even though he had people telling him that he would never be a champion, a lot can happen between now and never. "The American Nightmare" Cody Rhodes dished out the punishment at Final Battle, but he now stands the ROH World Champion, and as long as the ROH World Championship is in his hands, the world is going to know that he is not just a big fish in a little pond, but "a damn Megalodon swimmin' through the ocean." Suddenly, Jay Lethal shows up, much to the surprise of Dalton Castle, who is amazed that Lethal is even acknowledging that he exists. Lethal congratulates Dalton Castle on winning the ROH World Championship - even though he is "one strange dude" - but tells him that holding the title makes him the best wrestler in the world. He then tells Dalton Castle that he wants his shot at the title. After a comedic situation where Jay Lethal almost considers using one of The Boys as a chair, Jay Lethal congratulates Dalton Castle again before telling him he will be deluged with contenders and that he wants to be on the top of the list. Dalton Castle tells Jay Lethal he's got a deal, then Lethal leaves. He then lifts the ROH World Championship and says "This one's for the boys!" Shortly after this, Dalton Castle is suddenly blindsided by Punishment Martinez, who hits Dalton Castle with South Of Heaven.

Matt Taven tells the fans that all their favorite have gone down to The Kingdom (Taven, TK O'Ryan, Vinny Marseglia), and at Final Battle, so did Flip Gordon. Vinny Marseglia says that it doesn't matter which title they hold, as they will all go down, and TK O'Ryan says that Ring of Honor cannot hold them back forever. In 2018, they will not be held back any longer, for they are The Kingdom.

"The Last Real Man" Silas Young retains the ROH World Television Championship against Simon Grimm. After the match, Kenny King shows up and calls out Silas Young for using a beer bottle to beat him at Final Battle, and Silas retorts by telling him that professional wrestling is a business of results, and the results led to him becoming ROH World Television Champion. Kenny King says he has officially made his rematch official, and after eight beers, he's ready to beat the brakes off Silas and knock The Beer City Bruiser's teeth down his throat if he gets involved. After Silas tells The Beer City Bruiser that he does not need his help, Kenny King gets on the apron, spits beer in his face, and both Kenny King and Silas Young proceed to brawl as referees try to restore order.

The Briscoes (Jay and Mark Briscoe) beat Ryan Nova and Eli Isom. After the match, Jay Briscoe tells the fans they are looking at the baddest tag team on the planet. At Final Battle, they ended Bully Ray's career. Next on the docket is the ROH World Tag Team Championships, and while The Motor City Machine Guns (Chris Sabin and Alex Shelley) are one of the best tag team in the world, there is no tag team who is on their level right now. He tells the Machine Guns to enjoy the tag team titles while they can, because they're coming for them.

The Beer City Bruiser tells "The Last Real Man" Silas Young that he can take Kenny King after beating three men to win the ROH World Television Championship, then tells him he wants some tag team gold and that he has a guy in mind. Silas tells The Bruiser that he has done nothing but impress him night in and night out, and trusts him to win the tag team titles with whoever he teams with.

The Bullet Club and "Hangman" Adam Page are on a successful run, but people are always trying to ruin their fun. If The Addiction ("The Almighty" Christopher Daniels and "The Heavy Metal Rebel" Frankie Kazarian) and Scorpio Sky want a shot at the ROH World Six-Man Championship, they will give it to them before beating their brains out.

"The Villain" Marty Scurll beats Flip Gordon.

Saturday, March 25, 2017

Honor Roll - Ring of Honor recap for March 25, 2017

The Addiction ("The Almighty" Christopher Daniels and "The Heavy Metal Rebel" Frankie Kazarian) show up. Chistopher Daniels takes the cover off a table to reveal a bottle of appletini drink and a wine glass, which he has a sip of to celebrate his recent ROH World Championship win. At the 15th Anniversary Show, he says Adam Cole was younger, faster and more technically sound than he was, but he was definitely not stronger as Kazarian created a plan that bamboozled Bullet Club and gave him his first ROH World Championship, which he says is sweeter than his drink of choice. Kazarian announces that he earned a shot at the Television title at the 15th Anniverary Show, and tells "The Villain" Marty Scurll he's coming for his title. Kazarian says that he and Daniels will always be brothers, and will always be the addiction you can't kick. Suddenly, Dalton Castle shows up. He asks about the appletini, saying "Is that a drink?" Daniel tells him "It's not a drink, it's an experience" and tells him to take it slow. An astounded Dalton Castle asks what it is, and when told it's an appletini, Castle says it is wonderful. When Kazarian looks for another glass, The Boys show up and bring him one...a big one. After the rest of the appletini is poured, they have a toast, and Castle congratulates Daniels for winning the ROH World title, saying his title victory was well-deserved. Castle doesn't envy him, however, as he has to wrestle him and he doesn't want to wish that upon anybody. Suddenly, Adam Cole shows up with The Young Bucks (Matt and Nick Jackson), and says Daniels and Kazarian screwed him out of the ROH World Championship and that they will pay for what they have done. As for Dalton Castle, the idea of ROH World Champion compared to him is laughable, and at Supercard of Honor, it will not be Daniels vs. Castle, as the only man who deserves a shot at the World title is himself. Kazarian can't comprehend why Cole would want to get in the ring with Daniels again as "Daniels kicked Adam Cole in his Adam hole." Kazarian then realizes there's three of Bullet Club and three of them, and challenges Cole and the Bucks to a six-man tag match tonight. Cole accepts.

"The Villain" Marty Scurll calls himself the most dominating ROH World Television Champion in ROH history, and tells the roster to come and have a go if they think they're hard enough. All of a sudden, after the end of the promo shoot, Kenny King shows up and challenges him to a match for the ROH World Championship against him and The Rebellion (King, Rhett Titus, Caprice Coleman). Scurll accepts.

The Hardys ("Broken" Matt Hardy and Jeff Hardy) retain the ROH World Tag Team Championships against The Briscoes (Jay and Mark Briscoe). After the match, The Young Bucks (Matt and Nick Jackson) state that they will bring the house down again at Supercard of Honor, and challenges The Hardys for both the ROH World Tag Team Championships and the Superkick Party championships in the match The Hardys made famous: a ladder match.

Dalton Castle and The Addiction The Addiction ("The Almighty" Christopher Daniels and "The Heavy Metal Rebel" Frankie Kazarian) beat Bullet Club (Adam Cole, Matt Jackson, Nick Jackson).

Saturday, November 26, 2016

Honor Roll - Ring of Honor recap for November 26, 2016

Alex Shelley guests on commentary for the next match.

Lio Rush beats Jonathan Gresham. Both men shake hands after the match, then The Motor City Machine Guns (Chris Sabin and Alex Shelley) get in the ring and says that both men in the match hold nothing back and give everything that they have. Shelley says that for him, the best part of wrestling in ROH is not just representing the company, but thinking the same way that everyone in the crowd thinks as a match like that made him a fan of pro wrestling. Sabin says that they have been watching them for the last few months, and agrees that both men are the future of ROH. He shakes their hands, and says that they show honor and respect, the characteristics that the foundation of Ring of Honor was built upon.

Kyle O'Reilly looks back on Future Shock (Adam Cole and O'Reilly). He says that Adam Cole exudes confidence, but his insecurity can be seen deep in his eyes, and through spite he ruins every single chance he has at the ROH World Championship. He says that Cole should have let it die, but he poked the dragon and started a war that he could not finish. O'Reilly says that Cole created "The Violent Artist," and at Final Battle, the river will overflow its banks and consume Cole, and Cole will drown as he takes the ROH World Championship. O'Reilly says that he made him famous and was the best thing to ever happen to Adam Cole, but he will soon become the worst.

The Briscoes (Jay and Mark Briscoe) beat The Addiction ("The Almighty" Christopher Daniels and "The Heavy Metal Rebel" Frankie Kazarian).

Adam Cole looks back on Future Shock (Cole and Kyle O'Reilly), then looks back at the past year. He has done what he has set out to do: win the ROH World Championship and keep Kyle O'Reilly from winning it. He says that O'Reilly is a step behind him, and that being the best can be miserable. He takes nothing away from O'Reilly's talent, but he says that O'Reilly will never be him. He says that we wants to move forward, and that he shouldn't have to say that he is better than him at this point. He tells O'Reilly that Final Battle is his last chance to either choke or win the big one.

Saturday, October 29, 2016

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.

The Briscoes (Jay and Mark Briscoe) beat "Hangman" Adam Page and Adam Cole by disqualification after Cole hits Jay with the World title. After the match, Page and Cole attack The Briscoes along with The Young Bucks until reDRagon (Bobby Fish and Kyle O'Reilly) make the save.

Matt Taven says The Kingdom would be rebuilt in his image.

Kevin Kelly interviews Jay Briscoe, who says that he will soon become two-time ROH World Champion. He tells Adam Cole he will have one hell of a fight, as he has removed all of his distractions. He forgives Adam Cole for shaving his head and even admires him for winning the title he plans to take back in London, England.

Caprice Coleman tells ACH, KUSHIDA and Jay White that The Cabinet (Coleman, Kenny King, Rhett Titus) are here to take their prize: the six-man titles.
