by Josh McCrohon @JoshMcCrohon57Hello! Welcome to the show after Final Battle, it is indeed Ring of Honor Ladies and Gentlemen. It’s less than week until Christmas so let’s get this underway with The Run-Down
The Run-Down *Intro* Match #1 - The Addiction vs. Coast To Coast The Addiction enter first and are followed by Coast To Coast. Coast To Coast hit a double drop kick onto The Addiction and the match begins. Kazarian hits 4 chops in the corner. Kazarian then hits a springboard DDT onto LSG. The Addiction continue to dominate Coast To Coast as we go to the adverts. *Adverts* We return to a 2 count from Kazarian. This match is good so far and highlights The Addiction which is exactly what they need after a loss from War Machine at Final Battle. Ali attempts a hot tag to LSG but Daniels stops it, Ali reverses it and tags in LSG who initiates some fast paced action. Coast To Coast get the advantage for a little bit but LSG is outnumbered by The Addiction who hit the best Meltzer Driver ever for the win. LSG picks up a mic after the match and says that they’ve been here for a year and haven’t accomplished anything. Ali grabs the mic off LSG and says that they have to win and if they don’t they shouldn’t be doing this (referring to wrestling). Match Rating: 7.7/10 Match #2 - Eli Isom vs. Shane Taylor Isom is already in the ring as Taylor makes his way down. They shake hands before the match before locking up a few times. Isom relievers a chop but that doesn’t effect Taylor who throws him into the corner and chops him all the way to A&E! He then tosses Isom into the centre of the ring and splashes Isom in the corner. Taylor wins due to referee stoppage which is very rare. Match Rating: 4.3/10 Coleman’s Pulpit time and his guest is none other than Brandi Rhodes. Match #3 - The Best Friends & Rocky Romero vs. Kenny Omega & The Young Bucks The Best Friends are out first with Romero. Not seen much of Romero in recent weeks, so a win tonight would change a lot for him. Unfortunately for him however, I don’t see that happening. The Elite enter next as we go to adverts. *Adverts* Romero starts off the match with Jackson who gets a loud punch after he spat on Romero. Romero gets his Sliced Bread reversed into a tombstone position but Romero escapes. Omega extends his hand for the tag and Jackson tags in The Cleaner whilst Romero tags in Taylor. They shake hands until Baretta cheap shots Omega. Omega goes for the One Winged Angel on Taylor but that gets reversed. The Elite are in control and they hit a triple suicide dive. Omega tags in Matt. He gets hit with a boot into a dragon suplex combination which looked sore. *Adverts* We return to Taylor and Matt. Taylor hits a body slam. Baretta hypes up the crowd and jumps over the top rope and hits an anti-climax stomp and The Best Friends hug as that’s their trademark taunt. The Young Bucks hit great flippy moves which never gets old. Nick attempts a swanton but lands on Baretta’s knees which I can’t imagine being the softest landing. It’s good move central about this time in the match. Chucky T hits a great looking double stomp and a dive onto the outside landing on both of The Young Bucks. Baretta hits a neck-killer of a piledriver to Omega who bounced back up. The Best Friends hug on the outside but the Young Bucks superkick them both. It’s been a great match. In the end, The Elite pick up the win! Match Rating: 8.4/10 Worst-Best (The Ratings System) Motor Sh***y Machine Guns TK OK Ryan Josh “The Goods” Goods A-Jay-Zing This week’s episode didn’t feel that it was the follow up to Final Battle. In fact, I feel like Final Battle wasn’t even mentioned which is a bit unfortunate as I was really looking forward to see what’s next but I didn’t get to see anything of what ROH are leading to in the new year. However, the commentators kept saying throughout that there’s a Christmas surprise next week so I’m excited for that. This week’s episode gets a “Josh ‘The Goods’ Good”. Considerable: This is the segment where I give you something to consider. This week’s considerable: The 6 Man Tag Team titles. Who’s next to challenge the Hung Bucks? Scorpio Sky & The Addiction? Romero & The Best Friends? Coast To Coast & Flip Gordon? I don’t know. Do you? That’s been this week’s edition of This Week In Ring Of Honor. I’ll be back next week to review Boxing Day’s episode. Have a nice Christmas and if you celebrate Hanukkah, I hope you enjoyed it! Comments are closed.
