by Josh McCrohon @JoshMcCrohon57It’s Saturday. Yikes! Welcome to This Week In Ring Of Honor on a Saturday! So let’s hurry up and watch this episode while I write down The Run-Down shall we?
The Run-Down *Intro* Match #1 - Punishment Martinez vs. Dobbs Punishment Martinez is out first, Creepy Martin is looking very creepy tonight! Martinez dominates this match but Dobbs hits a big slap. He follows it with a dropkick but gets big booted after that. Martinez hits a Ripcord Roundhouse and then the South to Heaven chokeslam for the win. Match Rating: 5/10 After the match, Dalton Castle comes out with The Boys. Castle hits a nice throwing suplex and Martinez rolls out but immediately jumps back on the apron. He eventually leaves though with no further incident! Match #2 - Coast2Coast vs. War Machine Coast2Coast dive onto War Machine before they even enter the ring. Hanson cartwheels into a double dropkick. Caprice Coleman is on commentary. Hanson takes them both out. Raymond Rowe throws Hanson into Ali and they bump fists. Rowe tags to Hanson, and they do a knee tag move. The crowd chant; “War Machine!” Hanson tags back out to Raymond Rowe, Rowe bodyslams Hanson onto Ali. Ali hot tags LSG and he cleans house! He single handily takes out both Rowe & Hanson. He hits a 450 splash onto Rowe but Hanson breaks it up. LSG hits a back suplex onto Hanson which gets the crowd audibly pumped. Rowe attempts a superman punch but LSG ducks and hits the slingout slam. All 4 men are down. *Adverts* We return to War Machine decimating LSG who gets splashed from Hanson from the top rope. Ali gets tagged in and now it’s his time to clear house. He doesn’t last long as Warbeard Hanson takes out both members of Coast2Coast but it’s not too long till Coast2Coast gain control. Ali is the legal man along with Rowe. LSG somehow gets a shoulder up from a brutal finishing move from War Machine. I think it’s time for a double Coast2Coast and that’s what they do! RAYMOND ROWE SOMEHOW KICKS OUT! Shane McMahon is going to be pissed! Hanson hits a spiny heel kick onto Ali. War Machine hits fallout but Ali kicks out! How is this still going on?! Rowe puts Ali in the body slam position but Ali rolls him up and LSG takes out Hanson. Match Rating: 8.5/10 The two teams shake hands after the match. Bully Ray is out next. He says “Final Battle was my final battle”. He says he had a good career. He says he was born in New York but as a wrestler, he was born in Philadelphia. He says this is the arena, he should leave his boots in. Bully Ray says it’s his Honor. Jay Lethal comes down clapping and so do the rest of the roster and they surround the ring. Lethal gets in the ring and says “Bubba, I’ve known you for a long time and if this is the last time, I’ve got to get something off my chest”. He says that they had his guard up when he came into ROH but the roster didn’t need to. Lethal goes on about how good Bully Ray is at helping out. He calls Bully a legend. He’s not wrong! Match #3 - The Bullet Club vs. SOCAL Uncensored SOCAL Uncensored are out first. Cody, Marty Scurll & Adam Page are out next. Scorpio Sky is in first with Marty Scurll. Sky does a good double stomp onto a bent over Scurll. Scurll jumps on Sky’s fingers and hits an enziguiri. Christopher Daniels is in as Sky tags out. Cody is in as well. Taven is on commentary. Cody taunts but Frankie Kazarian cheap shots Cody and Adam Page & Kazarian brawl. The two take their brawl out onto the outside. Daniels & Cody are still fighting in the ring but they end up going out soon as well. Cody runs and dives onto the outside. I smell an Adam Page moonsault coming up shortly. Maybe not as Cody, Page, Daniels & Kazarian get back into the ring. They do the Bullet Club train and as always, Scurll doesn’t get the hang of it. *Adverts* We return to Kazarian & Cody, with Cody in SOCAL Uncensored’s corner. Cody quickly escapes and powerslams Kazarian. Cody hotags Page, and Kazarian hot-tags Sky. Page gets the advantage and dives onto Daniels on the outside. Page tosses Daniel into several barricades and the Hangman takes out all 3 men. He hits a powerbomb on Scorpio. Cody and Scurll hit a Doomsday Devicd kind of thing on Sky, Scurll calls for the Chicken Wing but Daniels breaks it up. Scurll goes to snap Daniels’ fingers but Daniels rakes the eyes. Page hits a nasty looking moonsault onto Sky on the outside. SOCAL Uncensored then hits 3 massive moves onto Page for the win! Match Rating: 9/10 My Thoughts Great episode! SOCAL Uncensored looked instantly ready for the mainevent which is always good for a trio. It looks like we’re leaning towards a feud with Castle/Martinez which is great but I hope it doesn’t last till Supercard Of Honor which I’m 99% sure it won’t. I think this is going to be a feud which ends on a regular episode, which isn’t necessarily a bad thing at all. It was fantastic to see War Machine in presumably their last televised ROH match. Do you know what would be original? To check out our ratings…from WORST to BEST! The Ratings System (Worst-Best) Motor Sh***y Machine Guns TK OK Ryan Josh “The Goods” Goods A-Jay-Zing This week’s episode gets an A-Jay-Zing! It was a quality episode from start to finish. The Bully Ray segment was really well done, the matches were great aswell. All in all, fantastic show. Considerable This week’s considerable is: Supercard Of Honor XII As of writing there is only one match confirmed for the show; Cody Vs. Kenny Omega. Oh my God! What matches would you like to see? What matches do you think are going to happen? Do you see any returns? Will there be any title changes? What is the landscape of ROH going to be like when we approach April 7th? It’s going to be interesting, Honor Club. That’s all we have time for on This Week in Ring Of Honor! Comments are closed.
