Honor Roll - Ring of Honor recap for June 12, 2021

The rules for Pure Rules Tag Team Matches are announced. The most noticeable change is that a rope break is used when a teammate breaks up a pinfall or submission, and that a teammate breaking up a pinfall or submission when all rope breaks are grounds for a disqualification loss.



Dalton Castle shows up with four masked boys to watch the next match from ringside.

Eli Isom beats Dak Draker to advance to the finals of the Survival of the Fittest tournament after Dak Draper goes for a top rope move only for Dalton Castle and his boys - who have been a slight nuisance throughout the match - to walk away before he can hit it. This distraction allows Eli Isom to recover and hit The Promise for the win.



We hear from O'Shay Edwards, who talks about his upcoming Survival of the Fittest tournament match "The Dirty Daddy" Chris Dickinson. He says that he is more overlooked than Dickinson, saying everyone knows who Dickinson is and that people in business suits are sweating and that Dickinson is also sweating because the pressure to win is on, and if he loses, so do the suits. We then hear from Dickinson, who says that he is already "the fittest" and has survived more adversity than everyone else, then asks who is ready to face adversity from being in the ring. He says it is sorry that O'Shay Edwards has to be the first he has to go through, then says it has to be somebody and that he cannot think of a better way to put an exclamation point on everything and "stick it up everybody's ass" by winning the ROH World Championship. That match will happen on tomorrow's ROH Week By Week on YouTube.

Williams says he cannot wait to ice his back, and says that OGK (Matt Taven and Mike Bennett) still has what it takes despite Matt Taven being injured showing up and like a true fighter.

Backstage, Quinn McKay interviews "The Last Real Man" Silas Young, who calls cheating "using a veteran move" when Josh "The Goods" Woods shows up and says Silas could never beat him fair and square. Silas says he is still the winner in the record book, and says he can pin or submit Woods in a Pure Rules Match if that is what it takes. Woods says he would love to see that. The match is official for next week.

We hear from VLNCE UNLTD (Brody King, Tony Deppen, "The Dirty Daddy" Chris Dickinson, Homicide). Brody King says that is Jay Lethal is "just going to die." Chris Dickinson says that they know about fighting, while Homicide says that he is from Brooklyn and not "Hot Sauce" Tracy Williams, and says that The Foundation (Jay Lethal, Jonathan Gresham, Rhett Titus, "Hot Sauce" Tracy Williams), is going down.

"The Mercenary" Flip Gordon heads to the ring.

Honor Roll - Ring of Honor recap for March 20, 2021

We hear from Eli Isom, who has been wrestling for three years, all of them with Ring of Honor. He talks about his history of being a multi-sport athlete in high school, how he discovered professional wrestling and how he connected with him mother through it, nearly giving up on training and how he met Cheeseburger and Will Ferrara when he made it to ROH. He says that he is now on his own after being part of Shinobi Shadow Squad with Cheeseburger and Ryan Nova, and that he intends to capture the ROH World Television despite not having wrestled in ROH in a while and become a major player in ROH. He says that Rey Horus is explosive, quick and has beaten champions, but so has he, and he is more focused and determined than ever before. He says that his climb up the ladder starts with Rey Horus. We then hear from Rey Horus, who says that he came close to beating Dragon Lee, but his defeat made him grow as a wrestler and an athlete, and next time he meets Dragon Lee in the ring, the story will go differently. While he can fight his way back to Dragon Lee, he is focusing on something else, and while Eli Isom is the future of ROH, they are living in the now and he is the present.

Honor Roll - Ring of Honor recap for February 27, 2021





We hear from La Faccion Ingobernable (Kenny King and Dragon Lee). Dragon Lee says that they are part of a true faction, and that they need the rest of the gold. Kenny King says they are one win away from domination, and that they must beat The Foundation in a Pure Rules tag team match to prove this is their house and that they are unstoppable and ungovernable. We the hear from The Foundation (Jay Lethal and Jonathan Gresham). Lethal praises La Faccion Ingobernables on beating The Briscoes to face them, then tells them that they will actually have to wrestle to beat them. Gresham says the world is watching and that their eyes are on The Foundation and pure wrestling, and that La Faccion Ingobernable must outclass and outwrestle two of the best wrestlers in the world to win.

La Faccion Ingobernable (Dragon Lee and Kenny King) beat The Foundation (Jay Lethal and Jonathan Gresham) via pinfall in 14:12 in a Pure Rules tag team match to become the ROH World Tag Team Champions after Jay Lethal inadvertently takes out Amy Rose with a tope suicda and Dragon Lee hits Jonathan Gresham with a closed fist to the face behind the referee's back.



We hear from Shane Taylor, who says that the ROH World Championship is supposed to be the best championship in the world, but he says that there is a stigma around Ring of Honor and says that a man like him - an African-American male who speaks up about political issues - as people cannot relate to anything about him. He says that since he was voted #1 contender for the ROH World Championship by the fans, it means that everything he says resonates with the people, which means that people are ready to see a new ROH World Champion who can deliver day in and day out. He understands that Rush is physical, but when Rush stands across the ring from him, the intimidation he brings to other people will not be in his eyes, and however hard Rush hits, he will hit harder, and he will match his intensity. Taylro says that he has been the MVP of ROH for over three years now and has elevated everyone who has been in the ring with him, and that he is the uncrowned champion of Ring of Honor.

Rush retains the ROH World Championship against Shane Taylor. During the match, Rush inadvertently rusn into referee Todd Sinclair. La Bestia del Ring heads to the ring and hands a folding chair to Rush, and Kenny King has to leave the commentary table to take the chair away from him. When Kenny King swings the chair at Rush, Rush dodges it and Kenny King hits Taylor with a chair shot to the head before it becomes obvious that this was part of the plan all along when Kenny King tells Rush to finish Shane Taylor off. Rush then hits the drop kick in the corner to win the match and retain the championship.

Jay then gets with Tracy after everyone leaves, asking Tracy to start the match with him. Tracy accepts



We hear from Tony Deppen, who talks about debuting in Final Battle while also mentioning the feeling that he was not wanted in ROH. He also talks about his match at Final Battle with Dragon Lee, saying Dragon Lee is a world-class wrestler and that he won some new fans despite not winning the match while also proving that he belonged in ROH. He says that he and LSG ran with the same crowd back in the day, even though they have taken different paths. He says that LSG has had his opportunities, and while LSG may be bigger and stronger, he is tougher, and anything that LSG will try to do to him to avenge his loss at Final Battle is nothing different from what he's experienced in the indies. We then hear from LSG, who talks about his road to ROH while saying that he will not let "the flavor of the month" in Tony Deppen take what is his. He says that while Tony Deppen is tough, they have not faced each other in years, and he has gotten bigger and stronger and has earned it according to Jay Lethal, and that up-and-comers will have to go through guys like him to prove themselves. While he respects what Tony Deppen has done throughout his career, he has grinded it out with the best in the world in ROH and Deppen has only one fluke win on him. He tells Deppen to show he belongs and beat him again.

LSG beats Tony Deppen.



Backstage, Quinn McKay tries to interview The Briscoes (Jay and Mark Briscoe).
