Steve Corino & Jimmy Jacobs came out and Corino informed everyone that he was the color commentator from now until the show gets cancelled, that one of his men will get a future World Title match, and that that man will be the next and last Ring of Honor World Champion. Jay Lethal came out and confronted Steve which led to...
1. Jimmy Jacobs beat Jay Lethal
ROH Match Maker Nigel McGuinness laid out the championship future of Jay Briscoe by declaring multiple men deserving of title opportunities starting with Unbreakable Michael Elgin and also including Adam Cole, Davey Richards, and Eddie Edwards. The World Champion interrupted to tell Nigel that it really didn't matter who he lined up because there wasn't a man alive who could beat him, that he would whoop all their asses.
Surprisingly it was Mark who in turn interrupted his older brother, telling him he had heard enough from Jay, that all Jay talks about is how he can whoop everybodys ass. Mark reminded Jay of two things, that they were brought up to be humble and that Mark had his first match in Ring of Honor when he beat Jay's ass. The back-and-forth between the brothers escalated with Jay saying that he wanted the match made for Best in the World 2013 and since Baltimore is just down the road from Sandy Fork, they can bring the family to watch. McGuinness said he would have to think about it...

Speaking of Hardy, The Self Proclaimed Icon Matt Hardy will get a shot at the Ring of Honor World Title on Sunday June 23rd in Baltimore! This title opportunity comes as a result of S.C.U.Ms tag team victory at Border Wars 2013 over the impromptu pairing of Michael Elgin and Kevin Steen, a victory that also put Steve Corino back in the announcers booth. Well in Richmond last Saturday, the figurehead of S.C.U.M announced that ... on June 23rd at the TV Tapings in Baltimore Matt Hardy will receive his ROH World Championship Title shot!

Corino was not done with his announcements last Saturday as he addressed ROH Match Maker Nigel McGuinness and issued a challenge that will have some major repercussions on the future of Ring of Honor. Corino challenged McGuinness to amass a team of four individuals to face four members of S.C.U.M with two game changing stipulations: if the ROH team wins, S.C.U.M will disband and Steve even stated he would apologize and do whatever Nigel wants. If S.C.U.M wins, Corino will take Nigels job and become the new Match Maker. As Steve put it, I take your job... I run this company.... I have all of the power to do what I want and what I want is no secret. Nigel McGuinness has yet to officially comment and cannot clear such a strong stipulation without going through the proper channels. Nigel is definitely contemplating the challenge and will give a public statement next week.
We all know that "Unbreakable" Michael Elgin earned a ROH World Title shot by defeating Jay Lethal at "Supercard of Honor" last month. Elgin however went to Nigel saying that he is ready for his shot at anytime but he wants to rid ROH of the SCUM distraction and redeem himself from his recent loss against "Machine Gun" Karl Anderson before he feels worthy to be champion. Elgin is looking to take out SCUM in San Antonio on June 1st and finish the job on June 8th in Columbus. There is a lot of speculation that Nigel will sign Elgin's title match for ROH's return to Toronto on August 3rd at the old Maple Leaf Gardens, which is now known as The Mattamy Athletic Centre! More details soon but until then get your tickets for this event right HERE !

Paul London is feeling much better since his brutal encounter with Davey Richards last Saturday at "Border Wars 2013". ROH officials hope to line up a few more dates for Paul very soon. It was great to have Paul back in ROH after almost 10 years and his passion for wrestling showed through in Toronto.
It was a pleasure for us to have Pro Wrestling NOAH's Taiji Ishimori with us last weekend in Toronto. Ishimori impressed everyone who saw him and ROH definitely wants Ishimori back very soon. Don't miss his match with Roderick Strong when it airs on ROH TV on May 25th!

Cheeseburger was very popular in the locker room last Saturday after "Border Wars 2013". The young man celebrated with half of a wine cooler.
A man who was not popular in the locker room last Saturday was Kevin Steen. Steen was defeated after begging Nigel to be Michael Elgin's tag partner when Jay Lethal injured his knee on a dive which left Elgin alone in a two-on-one situation. As a result of this victory, one member of S.C.U.M will now receive a future World Title Match AND Steve Corino will rejoin the commentary team. Steen is on a mission to prove himself by defeating each member of S.C.U.M leading to "Best in the World 2013" starting with Rhett Titus this weekend.
Speaking of Rhett, his loyalty to Steve Corino is obvious and also quite dangerous. The mind control that Corino is able to pull off on his S.C.U.M members is fascinating.
Nigel McGuinness has stated that he feels Adam Cole deserves a ROH World Title rematch due to Steve Corino's distraction but before he can get one there are a few men in front of the line for title shot opportunities. In particular, Michael Elgin earned a shot by defeating Jay Lethal at "Supercard of Honor VII" in NYC. Elgin however went to Nigel saying that he is ready for his shot at anytime but he wants to rid ROH of the SCUM distraction and redeem himself from his recent loss against "Machine Gun" Karl Anderson before he feels worthy to be champion.

INSIDE RING OF HONOR - 04/25/13 - 04/25/13
Last weekend on "Ring of Honor Wrestling" TV 04/20/13
The show kicked off with former World Champion Kevin Steen coming to the ring but before he can say anything, Steve Corino interrupted and told Kevin it is okay he lost the World Title because the mission to kill ROH remains the same. Kevin said that mission was fine when Cornette was still around but without him, ROH is just fine and Kevin's only mission is to become World Champion again. Corino said the World Title needs to be with SCUM but maybe it isn't Kevin who it should be on. As the rest of SCUM surrounded the ring, Steen said he would follow Corino through hell, that even when it was just Steve, Jimmy, and Kevin he didn't always get Corino but went with along with him. Now though there was one part of the plan he couldn't get with: Matt Hardy. Corino got livid that Kevin would insult Hardy, said they needed to go their separate ways, but Steve couldn't let Kevin walk out. Steen went after Hardy which led to SCUM laying out the former Champion and Hardy hitting him with a Twist of Fate to cap it off.
1. Roderick Strong beat Mike Bennett
2. Jorge Santi vs. Tadarius Thomas ended in a No Contest when the whole of SCUM assaulted both men; This led to a back and forth verbal battle between Corino & Nigel McGuinness that ultimately set-up a tag team match for "Border Wars 2013". Two members of SCUM versus Michael Elgin & Jay Lethal; if Team ROH wins then Corino is done with ROH but if SCUM wins then one member (Corino implied Hardy) would receive a World Title match AND Corino would rejoin the commentary team.
3. World TV Title Match: Matt Taven beat ACH to retain
This weekend on "Ring of Honor Wrestling" TV
This weeks episode of "Ring of Honor Wrestling" TV features a public contract signing as Jay Briscoe and Adam Cole make their "Border Wars 2013" main event title match official! In addition Steve Corino issues an open challenge for anyone to face S.C.U.M in six man tag action!
As announced last week, Naomichi Marufuji will be unable to compete at "Border Wars 2013" or the TV Taping the following day due to a severe knee injury. Replacing him & making his return to ROH after almost 10 years -- the "INTREPID TRAVELER" PAUL LONDON. For complete details, click HERE.
On the latest episode of "Ring of Honor Wrestling" TV, after Steve Corino & S.C.U.M assaulted Jorge Santi and Tadarius Thomas before their match could really get underway, a verbal confrontation occurred between Nigel McGuinness and Corino resulting in a match being made for "Border Wars 2013"! It will be S.C.U.M versus Jay Lethal & Michael Elgin and if Team ROH wins, then Corino will leave ROH but if S.C.U.M wins, then a member will get a future ROH title shot and Corino will sit next to Kevin Kelly as color commentator. The stakes are high in Toronto and you can catch all the action live on iPPV or in-person at the Ted Reeve Arena!
Despite what Steve Corino has stated, Kevin Steen says that he WILL BE at "Border Wars 2013!"
Announced earlier today, it's ROH vs. SCUM when "Buzzsaw" BJ Whitmer takes on his former partner Rhett Titus in a rematch of their "WAR" encounter! Unlike that one, this battle has a special stipulation requested by Whitmer himself....I QUIT MATCH!
Just signed to compete for the Ring of Honor Wrestling TV Tapings in Toronto on Sunday, May 5th is "The Prodigy" Mike Bennett with "The First Lady of ROH" Maria Kanellis! Bennett's ROH contract expired on January 1st and rumor has it that ROH offered him a very lucrative extension but he has been holding out. Bennett claims that he has been weighing offers from major motion picture companies, record labels, other wrestling companies, etc. We are unaware if Bennett has recently resigned with ROH but what we are aware of is that Bennett and "The First Lady of ROH" will definitely be in Toronto! Tickets are on-sale HERE in the ROH Store!!!
On May 11th, Ring of Honor heads back to the Rostraver Ice Garden in Belle Vernon, PA for a big live event DVD taping and several big match-ups were recently signed to take place! First up, in a rematch of the finals of the 2013 Top Prospect Tournament Tadarius Thomas will go one-on-one with current World TV Champion Matt Taven! If Taven makes it out of "Border Wars 2013" weekend as champion, then this rematch will also be held under Proving Ground rules! Next, it seems that after only a pair of matches as a team and their 1-1 win/loss record, RD Evans has petitioned for a World Tag Team Title shot for himself & QT Marshall. Match Maker Nigel McGuinness balked at this request, stating that RD & QT had proved absolutely nothing as a team but he would give them the opportunity to do so in Pittsburgh. So, on May 11th, "God's Gift" and The Barrister will have to face one of the toughest teams in ROH history: The American Wolves! And Jay Lethal and Jimmy Jacobs will lock horns in a battle of ROH vs. S.C.U.M! Tickets are on-sale right HERE for our return to the Pittsburgh area!

The bout got off to an auspicious start as, before the match could even begin, Roderick Strong came out to question McGuinness` choice to include Mike Mondo in the bout instead of "Mr. Ring of Honor" as Strong likes to refer to himself. Eventually a fight broke out between Strong and Mondo before the other competitors came to the ring but once it was settled down and Roddy was taken away from ringside, the action got underway.

News
- Congratulations to the NEW ROH World Champion Jay Briscoe!!!!
- We are now on the road to "Border Wars 2013" and Jay Briscoe will make the first defense of his newly won World Championship on May 4th when ROH returns to Toronto & The Ted Reeve Arena on iPPV! His opponent, based on Match Maker Nigel McGuinness' proclamation on the 3/16/13 episode of ROH TV, will be the former World Television Champion Adam Cole! At "Supercard of Honor VII" Cole was the first man to pin Matt Hardy since the "Self Proclaimed Icon" returned to ROH competition late last year, but it did not parlay into reclaiming the TV Title from Matt Taven. As a matter of fact, Cole has come up on the losing end at all three of the last iPPV events ("FB 2012" to Hardy, "11th Anniversary" to Taven, & "SoH VII" to Taven). That is a simple fact that must weigh heavily on Cole's mind as "Border Wars 2013" creeps closer, but it is one that Cole must move past if he hopes to have any chance of dethroning Jay Briscoe in Toronto! Great seats are available right HERE in the ROH Store for both this event as well as our first international TV Taping the following day!
- Announced today multi-time GHC Champion Naomichi Marufuji and GHC Jr. Heavyweight Champion Taiji Ishimori's matches have been signed for "Border Wars 2013", and we can now announce their respective bouts for each day! First, at "Border Wars 2013" on Saturday May 4th it will be Taiji Ishimori vs. Eddie Edwards and Naomichi Marufuji vs. Davey Richards! Then at the "Ring of Honor Wrestling" TV Taping on May 5th its Taiji Ishimori vs. Roderick Strong and Naomichi Marufuji vs. "Unbreakable" Michael Elgin! It may be your only opportunity to see two of NOAH's best in Ring of Honor this year so get your tickets now! Great seats for both "Border Wars 2013" on May 4th and our first ever international "Ring of Honor Wrestling" TV Taping on May 5th can be purchased right HERE ! This will be great!
- One half of the ROH Tag Team Champions Kyle O'Reilly suffered a very serious arm injury last Saturday against Davey Richards. Details are sketchy but we heard that O'Reilly will definitely be out of action for the next few weeks.
- Karl "Machine Gun" Anderson made a HUGE impression over the weekend and Officials in both ROH and New Japan Pro Wrestling are lining up schedules to see when Anderson will be able to return to ROH. Expect the "Machine Gun" back in ROH soon!

- Lots of people are saying that the Number 1 Contender's Match between "Unbreakable" Michael Elgin and Jay Lethal last Friday at "Supercard of Honor VII" is one of the best matches of the year so far.

INSIDE RING OF HONOR - 04/03/13 - 04/03/13
Last weekend on "Ring of Honor Wrestling" TV
March 30th, 2013
- World Champion Kevin Steen came to the ring but before he could speak Jay Briscoe, his challenger at "Supercard of Honor VII", interrupted with his arm still in a sling. In addition to saying some things that were censored, Jay said that for the past 11 years, ROH has been his life so when Steen & S.C.U.M talk about killing this company, that means they are talking about his livelihood. Jay said hd does not take kindly to people talking about killing his livelihood so at Supercard of Honor, he is going to win the World Title. Steen laughed and began to say something about SCUM but was interrupted by Steve Corino. Steve said he wants to know how Jay Briscoe can insult the World Champion, that Kevin Steen is the greatest World Champion in Ring of Honor history and that Jay is always just a bridesmaid. Jay asked when Steen became Steve Corinos bitch. Steen tells Jay that he is glad that the Briscoes are getting title shots for his World Title because they deserve the matches, that he is proud to be Ring of Honor champion, and he will be prouder when he beats both Briscoes. Corino told Jay that should wear a mask because he is so ugly but, as Jay pulled a weapon out of his sling, Corino realized Steen had left and that he was alone in the ring.
Before anything happened, Jimmy Rave, Rhett Titus, and Cliff Compton hit the ring to stand with Corino which in turn brought out Caprice Coleman, Cedric Alexander, and Mark Briscoe. Their brawl led to...
1. Rhett Titus & Cliff Compton beat Caprice Coleman & Cedric Alexander after Compton threw powder in the face of Coleman; Rave & Jacobs continued the assault after the match which brought out Mike Mondo and led to...
2. Jimmy Jacobs pinned Mike Mondo
- Steve Corino highjacked the "INSIDE ROH" segment, turning it to "INSIDE SCUM", and talking about the various members of his group...
3. Steve Corino, Rhino, & Matt Hardy defeated Jay Lethal, BJ Whitmer, and Michael Elgin; During the match both Lethal & Elgin were restrained which left Whitmer to fight off all three men on his own

INSIDE RING OF HONOR - 03/27/13 - 03/27/13
Last weekend on "Ring of Honor Wrestling" TV
03/23/13
1. "Unbreakable" Michael Elgin defeated Silas Young; Jay Lethal joined the commentary team during this bout in anticipation of the Elgin/Lethal clash at "Supercard of Honor VII"
- Charlie Haas hit the ring to run down the fans in Chicago, insult Shelton Benjamin, insist their potential match at "SoH VII" wouldn't happen, and challenge anyone to come out and fight him. Grizzly Redwood answered the call which led to...
2. "The Outlaw" Charlie Hass submitted Grizzly Redwood; Following the match, Haas wouldn't release the hold which brought out Mike Mondo to run him off. After a commerical break, Veda Scott interviewed Mondo about his return to ROH but it is interrupted by Steve Corino & S.C.U.M who assault both men. Veda essentially ends up a hostage for the group as Nigel McGuinness & members of the ROH locker room attempt to hit the ring. Steve tells them to back off unless they want something bad to happen to Scott and forces Nigel into making next week's episode of TV a S.C.U.M vs. ROH episode. Steve said Nigel can make the matches but there is no one who can stop them.
3. TV Title #1 Contender Match: Matt Hardy vs. Adam Cole went to a No Contest after Rhino Gored Cole and it turned into a total brawl between S.C.U.M and the ROH locker room
This weekend on "Ring of Honor Wrestling" TV Preview - Click HERE
- This week on "Ring of Honor Wrestling" TV the battle lines have been drawn and it is S.C.U.M versus ROH in a series of bitter grudge matches! Plus Steve Corino hijacks Inside ROH!
News
- THIS Saturday night March 30th, Ring of Honor debuts in Asheville, NC with "WAR"! ROH World Champion Kevin Steen defends against Mark Briscoe, the new ROH TV Champion Matt Taven with Truth Martini steps into a 4 Corner Survival Proving Ground match with Roderick Strong, Jay Lethal and ACH, Coleman & Alexander battle The American Wolves, Rhett Titus and BJ Whitmer collide in a Grudge Match, reDRagon defend the World Tag Titles. Plus, as a result of what happened on "Ring of Honor Wrestling" TV last weekend when S.C.U.M assaulted Grizzly Redwood & Mike Mondo and essentially held Veda Scott hostage, a match has been signed for "WAR" with Grizzly Redwood & "No Fear" Mike Mondo vs. Two Members of S.C.U.M! It is shaping up to be another fantastic ROH event and "The Outlaw" Charlie Haas will also be in Asheville causing chaos! Tickets are on-sale now HERE or at the door on Saturday night!
- THIS JUST IN... Papa Briscoe and Uncle Jethro are traveling to Asheville THIS Saturday to support Mark in his big match!
- Also THIS Saturday in Asheville, there will be an autograph signing prior to the start of the show and it features two of the more...controversial...men in the ROH locker room: World Champion Kevin Steen and "The Outlaw" Charlie Haas! Who knows what could happen when two of Ring of Honor's most unpredictable men sit down to meet the fans? Make sure you are there live, and that you make it there early, to take advantage of this opportunity to meet two of ROH's best!
- The card is complete and tickets are SOLD OUT for "Supercard of Honor VII" on April 5th from New York City! The ONLY way to see this mega event is on iPPV right here at ROHwrestling.com. This event is absolutely loaded and signed yesterday, S.C.U.M (Jimmy Jacobs, Rhett Titus, Jimmy Rave, Cliff Compton, & Rhino) will go to war with HONOR (BJ Whitmer, Caprice Coleman, Cedric Alexander, Mike Mondo, & Mark Briscoe) in a huge 10-Man Tag! This one will be hard to contain and the intensity should be through the roof!
- Keep in mind that Mark Briscoe challenges Kevin Steen for the World Title THIS Saturday at "WAR" in Asheville, NC so the outcome of that match could certainly affect the main event of "Supercard of Honor VII" as well as the 10-Man Tag Team War. ROH Match Maker Nigel McGuinness has stated that he will make immediate changes to the lineup of "Supercard of Honor" if Mark is successful in dethroning Steen THIS Saturday.
- Speculation is running wild as to who Barrister R.D. Evans found to be the partner of "God's Gift" QT Marshall against Tadarius Thomas and ACH at Supercard of Honor VII. We do know that Evans recently traveled overseas on "important" business meetings but have no idea if those trips pertain to the mystery man.
- The new ROH Television Champion Matt Taven is definitely being put to the test immediately as champion. In Asheville THIS Saturday he faces Strong, Lethal, & ACH in a 4-Way Proving Ground Match and one week later he goes on to defend the TV Title against former champion Adam Cole and Matt Hardy in a 3-Way Elimination at "Supercard of Honor VII"! If Taven can survive the 3-Way then he will defend the TV Title the next day at the TV Taping against an opponent To Be Determined. Keep in mind that if Taven loses the Proving Ground in Asheville then he will face the winner of that match on April 6th in NYC, otherwise Nigel says that he will determine a challenger based off of performances at "Supercard of Honor".
- If Adam Cole regains the ROH TV Title at "Supercard of Honor VII" then his match on May 4th at "Border Wars 2013" will be Champion vs. Champion! It is not determined at this time if the TV Title will be on the line but it is certainly a possibility.

INSIDE RING OF HONOR - 03/6/13 - 03/06/13
Last weekend on "Ring of Honor Wrestling" TV
03/02/13
1. S.C.U.M (Steve Corino & Rhino) defeated TheFlatliners (Asylum & Matt Burns)
- Nigel McGuinness brought Matt Hardy, still carrying the TVTitle he stole in Milwaukee, out to the ring. Nigel told man he is acting likea spoiled child and needs to turn over the belt or someone will take it fromhim. Hardy told Nigel he beat Adam Cole at Final Battle so he should be thechampion and after beating Whitmer in Milwaukee, Cole assaulted him and he onlyused the belt to defend himself.
He said Nigel isn't punishing Cole due to favoritism andthat Nigel is jealous of Matt. Nigel said that he might be jealous of Mattbecause of what he has accomplished, but Matt is probably jealous of himbecause of his time as ROH Champion. Nigel says that he was one of the mostacclaimed wrestlers in the sport and that is why Matt is here. Nigel said thatin two weeks, Matt will have a one on one match against Adam Cole. Hardy saidthat's all he wanted, that he has no problem handing the belt over to Nigel,and that in two weeks the wrestling icon will be champion. Nigel then told Mattthat he does not have a title match because he has not won with honor. RatherMatt will wrestle next week in a Four Corner Survival Match against MichaelElgin, Roderick Strong, and Davey Richards and if Matt can prove that he canfight with honor, Hardy will get his title match.
2. Grizzly Redwood vs. Vinny Marseglia never happenedbecause Kevin Steen came out, gave Vinny a Package Piledriver, and offeredGrizz the opportunity to wrestle him. That led to...
3. Non-Title: World Champion Kevin Steen beat GrizzlyRedwood; Surprisingly after the match Steen shook Grizzly's hand and helped himto his feet
4. World Tag Title vs. Tag Team Career Match: Jay & MarkBriscoe beat WGTT (Charlie Haas & Shelton Benjamin) after Haas delivered anOlympic Slam to his partner and bailed; That loss means WGTT can no longer teamtogether in ROH...

The reviews have been outstanding and we appreciate the greatfeedback! While the "11th Anniversary" proved to be a memorablebirthday for ROH, it was certainly not so in a positive fashion. Titles changedhands in two top-shelf bouts but the chaos that took place following the mainevent is what shook the foundation of honor. S.C.U.M has waged war on honor!The replay of this must-see event is available for On Demand viewing right HERE (http://www.rohwrestling.com/ippv).
- After the chaos that was unleashed upon Ring of Honor bySteve Corino & S.C.U.M at the 11th Anniversary Event lastSaturday night, ROH Match Maker Nigel McGuinness made a very firm stance thefollowing afternoon during the ROH TV Tapings. Make sure you check out upcomingepisodes to see just how ROH recovered from the onslaught and you can click HERE (http://www.rohwrestling.com/news/desk-nigel-mcguinness)to read a statement from McGuinness himself addressing the immediate future ofRing of Honor.
- In McGuinness' statement he announced that both Mark &Jay Briscoe will receive future ROH World Title shots! At "WAR" on March 30th in Asheville, North Carolina(http://www.rohwrestling.com/product/ashville-nc-march-30th)... Mark Briscoe will face Kevin Steen for the ROH World Title and on April 5th at "Supercard of Honor VII"(http://www.rohwrestling.com/live/events/2013/apr/5/supercard-honor-vii-4513-nyc)live on iPPV... Jay Briscoe will face the ROH World Champion be itis his own brother or Kevin Steen!
- In addition to those two title matches, Nigel has alsoconfirmed today (INSERT LINK) that Adam Cole will receive a ROH World Titleshot on Saturday, May 4 at "Border Wars 2013" (http://www.rohwrestling.com/product/toronto-ontario-may-4th)in Toronto, Canada LIVE on iPPV!

- Speaking of the tag team scene, it is really going to heatup at "WAR" in Asheville on March 30th when The American Wolves takeon Caprice Coleman & Cedric Alexander!
- New H.O.T member Matt Taven shocked the wrestling world bydefeating Adam Cole to become the NEW ROH World Television Champion lastSaturday at the "11th Anniversary"! This outcome blindsided everyone,including Matt Hardy, and bookies raked in the cash. Truth Martini has latchedonto Taven and claims that "the H.O.T will be too hot for TV!"
- Steve Corino will be issuing an official written statementregarding S.C.U.M very soon. While the goal of S.C.U.M is obvious, it is stilla question as to what exactly motivated people like Rhett Titus, Jimmy Rave andCliff Compton to join S.C.U.M. We assume that Matt Hardy has joined since hefeels that he has been mistreated by ROH officials and Nigel McGuinness sincejoining ROH, but at this point everything is speculation.
- Nigel McGuinness is looking to sign "The Outlaw"Charlie Haas vs. his former partner Shelton Benjamin! It was inevitable thatROH officials would want this after what happened last week on ROH TV but Haassays that Shelton will never show his face in ROH again. "Shelton ain'tcoming back, he is gone from ROH and he is a piece of s****" explainedHaas. "No need to sign the f****** match. F***, if you want to see a goodmatch sign me up for a cheeseburger eating contest."
- Ring of Honor will be holding another two-day tryout campand seminar on Saturday and Sunday, April 20th and 21st at ROHs headquartersand wrestling dojo in suburban Philadelphia (Bristol, PA).

INSIDE RING OF HONOR - 02/26/13 - 02/26/13
Last weekend on "Ring of Honor Wrestling" TV
- World Champion Kevin Steen came to the ring alone and addressed that people have said that he has changed lately. He talked about how ROH has changed over the years and how when he won the World Title he was not proud of it because he wanted to kill the company. Kevin said he did not want to kill ROH because he hated it rather because he loved it and wanted to save it from what he believed Jim Cornette had done to Ring of Honor. Steen stated that this company was about young wrestlers busting their asses to be the best and now with Jim gone it can be about that again. With JC gone, Kevin is proud to be ROH World Champion and since Jay Lethal is the man who got rid of Jim, Kevin is giving him a title match.

Bobby Fish &Kyle O'Reilly earned a tag title opportunity with their Gauntlet Match victoryover The American Wolves AFTER Eddie & Davey had already defeated both TheBravados & S.C.U.M in back-to-back battles. While The Wolves did defeat twoteams back-to-back, they unfortunately fell victim to a post-match beating fromJacobs & Corino that saw Davey get blasted with a roll of quarters andEddie fall victim to a Cutter from Jimmy. Still, The Wolves persevered throughthe beating and nearly captured a victory in their third straight match but dueto a combination of the beating and the freshness of their young opponents,Fish & O'Reilly captured the victory and earned their title shot!

Spread the word.... Honor Dies 3-2-13.... SteveCorino." More details on this intriguing situation as they arise.

After the iPPV went off of the air,Steen proceeded to freak out and smash the ROH World Title belt repeatedlyagainst the steel entrance ramp. Fortunately the belt is still in one piecehowever the same cannot be said about Steen who has slipped into a deepermadness. It will be interesting to see where this goes but it seems that theinevitable battle is pending once again!
-The new ROH World Championship belt will debut at FinalBattle 2012.
-No Fear Mike Mondo suffered a very serious ankle injuryduring the course of his match with Mike Bennett at "Glory by Honor XI.Early reports are that Mondo will be out of action for one year. Mondo brokehis ankle early in the bout, however he continued the match and even climbedthe entranceway and dove off onto Bennett in a must-see moment! Mondocontinuously proves that he has one of the strongest fighting spirits in all ofwrestling. You cannot deny the effort in everything Mondo does and gives to thefans each time he has a match in ROH.
-The House of Truth is crumbling before our eyes. RoderickStrong apparently quit the HoT at "Glory by Honor XI before his scheduledmatch with Tadarius Thomas and Strong walked out on Truth Martini. Truth, in a panic,then brought out Rhino (who Truth allegedly hired for the night to help Elginin his match with Steen) to face Thomas. Tadarius was able to get the biggestwin of his career by upsetting Rhino after Truth tried a little too hard tohelp his mercenary. After the bout, Rhino grabbed Truth Martini and pressslammed him over the top rope to the floor against the guardrails. Martinispants were ruined and he was scarred up pretty bad following the collision intothe guardrail. It will be very interesting to see what happens to the House ofTruth going forward.
-Even though Unbreakable Michael Elgin was unsuccessful"Glory by Honor XI, he proved to the world that he is one of the strogestand toughest men alive.

Strong began to chop Mondo up against the guardrails butMondo responded with a head butts and busted the former ROH World Champion'snose open. An infuriated Strong just kicked Mondo in the head before returningto the ring to stop the 20-count.
Back in the ring, Strong just abused Mondo with chops andkicks and Mondo even returned to the floor to escape the barrage. On the floor,Mondo ran Strongs back into the guardrails to slow the assault but Roddy gotMondo on his shoulders and tossed Mondo into the ring post, following it upwith a suplex on the floor.
Mondo fought back once the action got back into the ring,even nailing a moonsault for a two count. At one point it seemed Mondo injuredhimself but refused the referee's offer to call the match. Strong set him upfor the gutbuster but Mondo escaped. Strong hit him with a boot and Mondoresponded with the same as well as a spinebuster for a near fall. Strong wasable to secure an omoplata but Mondo reversed into a a rollup for a near fall.Roderick caught Monod with a roaring elbow, then the big double knees gutbusterbut Mondo still kicked out!

INSIDERING OF HONOR
Last week on "Ring of Honor Wrestling" TV
We start off this weeks show with alook at footage and comments from Steve Corino and the agreement thathim and Jimmy Jacobs made to be a part of the Tag Team Tournament.With the attack by the Guardians of Truth and Rhino on Jacobs,Corino, and Steen, what does that mean? Did Corino and Jacobs getsome revenge later in the show?
The ROH World Tag Team Title Tournamentcontinued right off the bat last weekend with the final 1stRound match-up!
Tag Team Tournament First RoundMatch: Mark and Jay Briscoe versus BLK Out (Ruckus and Blk Jeez)
This was a hot match with both teamgiving it their absolute all in order to advance in the tournament.BLKOut impressed in their ROH debut as a team but it was theexperience of the 7-Time Former Tag Champions who won out in the endwhen Mark hit a running drop kick on Jeez while Jay hits a forearm onRuckus. Jay nailed a neck breaker and Mark went up top for the elbowdrop and Jay gets the three count.
Winners: The Briscoe Brothers
Veda Scott was joined by Truth Martiniwho discussed Rhino's impending ROH World Title match with KevinSteen at Death Before Dishonor X and Truth promised everyonethat we will see a new World Champion. The interview then turned tothe problems between Roderick Strong and Michael Elgin. Truth saidthat she is trying to stir the pot but at the end of the day, theylisten to him. She asked Truth if he is worried about S.C.U.M tryingto get revenge. He said Truth always outnumbers S.C.U.M.
Mike Sydal versus The ProdigyMike Bennett (with Maria Kanellis)
In this rematch from Unity, Sydalagain proved that he has all the tools in the world to hang with thebest in Ring of Honor but it was ultimately the involvement of MikeMondo that proved to be the decisive factor in the bout. AfterBennett hit the Box Office Smash and decided to pull Sydalsshoulders up instead of getting the three count, Mondo cames out toringside and kissed Maria. Bennett releases the Cobra Clutch Sleeperhold he had applied and chased Mondo around the ring, eventuallybeing counted out.
Winner: Mike Sydal (by count out)
RD Evans then joined Nigel McGuinnessand Kevin Kelly at the announce table for the next bout.
Mike Posey versus The SicilianPsychopath Tommaso Ciampa
This was over in short order as Ciampadelivered a series of running knees to the head to his opponent then,after the fourth, picked up Posey to deliver the Project Ciampa.
Winner: Tommaso Ciampa
After the match, Prince Nana attackedRD Evans at the announce table. Nigel pulled Nana off Evans as theannounce table was been destroyed.
It was then time for this latestInside ROH first touching on the Tag Title Tournament thatculminates at Death Before Dishonor X. In one semifinal match,Cedric Alexander and Caprice Coleman will face Steve Corino and JimmyJacobs. In the other semifinal match, The Briscoes will face CharlieHaas and Rhett Titus.
We learned that Shelton Benjamin willbe in the corner of Haas & Titus in Chicago Ridge this Saturdaybecause suspension was up after the first of the month. Charlie saidthat Shelton will be his corner man and he does not care if Rhettlikes it or not.
Rhett said that he doesnt trustShelton and he does not like him. He will have to have his eyes onhis opponents and in the back of his head. If either of them try todo something funny, they will find out that he might only be one man,but he can fight like two.
In lieu of the Jay Lethal vs. Homicidematch at DBD X, we take a look back at what Jay Lethal did lastweek to Matt Taven and the referee. Jay said that some people askedhim why he did what he did, but you shouldn't be surprised. You canonly be pushed and poked so many times before you have to change yourattitude. Jay sid that his focus is the World Championship and hewill face a former World Champion in Homicide in Chicago. He tellsHomicide to bring his fork because Jay will bring the main course andhe will hand feed Homicide an ass whooping. He will prove that he isthe man to take out Kevin Steen.
ROH World TV Title Match: Adam Coleversus Michael Elgin (with Truth Martini and The Guardians of Truth)
Elgin followed the Code of Honor to thedismay of Martini then these two warriors when on to prove why theyare two of the best young talents in professional wrestling. Coleused his speed and quickness while Elgin went to his power game,which made for quite an even battle.
It all came down to Elgin accidentallyBuckle Bombing Cole into the referee who happened to get trapped inthe corner at the wrong time. Taking advantage of the referee beingdown, Martini had The Guardians of Truth attack Cole but Elgin sendtCole to the floor to stop the attack by the Guardians.
Jimmy Jacobs & Steve Corino thenhit the ring and they go after The Guardians of Truth, followed byKevin Steen who went face to face with Elgin, the man he could likelymeet at Glory By Honor XI.
Steen pushed Elgin, Elgin pushed back,punches started flying, then Rhino...Steen's opponent for DeathBefore Dishonor X on 9/15... made his way to the ring and he wentafter the ROH World Champion.
Roderick Strong then got involved,pulled Elgin aside and then he goes after Steen. Elgin pulled Strongoff Steen and they had words, which began to get physical, as theshow went off the air.

Generation Next of Aries, Shelley, Evans and Strong joined The Embassy in putting the boots to Foley. Maff & Whitmer then fought off everyone and made the save for one of wrestling's biggest icons. Foley then cut a must see, classic promo saying that he was sent some ROH DVDs and after witnessing some of the hardcore action he saw an attitude and spirit in ROH that he wanted to be a part of.

We see the other two quarterfinal matches and we get comments from the Briscoes. Jay talks about facing the Wildcard team in BLKOut. Mark says something that makes Jay wonder what Mark is saying. He says that they will take out Blk Out and go to Chicago to become the Tag Team Champions.
We are back with a Jay Lethal video package where he talks about being somewhere else for six years trying to be somebody else. He has come back to Ring of Honor because this is where a professional wrestler can prove that he is the best in the world.
Jay Lethal vs. Matt Taven
Before the match starts, Lethal got on the microphone and said that there is something on his mind. Jay tells everyone about something that happened backstage. Jay said that he ran into Jim Cornette and he told Jim that he might have looked high and looked low for a challenger for Kevin Steen, but he never looked in his direction. Jay wanted to know why he never got a shot at Kevin Steen.
Jay said that Jim looked at him and Jim told him that he is a better wrestler and athlete than Kevin Steen, but he cannot beat Kevin Steen. Jay said that he was shocked at what Jim said. Jim told him that he was not mean enough and did not have the killer instinct.
Lethal shook Tavens hand and then he kicked him in the groin. Lethal then gave the referee a Lethal Combination.
Jay looked into the camera and wanted to know what Jim thinks about his Killer Instinct.

INSIDE RING OF HONOR
Last weekend on "Ring of Honor Wrestling"
Kyle O'Reilly vs. Matt Taven
O'Reilly took the microphone and reiterated to everyone that he did not tap out in the Hybrid Rules match against Adam Cole at "Best in the World 2012" before beginning the contest.
Taven gave a good fight while it lasted, managing to nail a nice Suicide Dive and a big neckbreaker, but ultimately it came down to O'Reilly's superior striking ability and his submissions skills as he picked up the victory via Fujiwara armbar.
Winner: Kyle O'Reilly
Rhino w/ Truth Martini vs. Todd Sople
Gore!!!
Winner: Rhino
After the match, Martini gets on the mic and said that in the House of Truth there is love, there is loyalty, and there is unity. He says that he has heard all of the rumors but the fact is Michael Elgin & Roderick Strong work together like a nice Swiss watch.
Michael Elgin & Roderick Strong vs. Lancelot & Harlem Bravado
Elgin followed the Code of Honor despite Martini's protestations while Roddy told Elgin he would start the match. The unity didn't last long as Elgin abruptly tagged himself in followed by Strong doing the exact same. Once the match finally got underway, it was quite the back-and-forth contest with Elgin finally using his power advantage to get some control of the contest for the HoT duo. Still it was the dissension between Strong & Elgin that ultimately proved the deciding factor as Elgin's refusal to tag in at one point allowed Harlem to roll-up Roderick for the victory!
Winners: The Bravados
The show went to commercial with Martini trying to calm down his two wrestlers and returned with another edition of "Inside ROH" touching first on The House of Truth and the match between The Guardians of Truth and the Briscoes. First highlights from the match are aired, including footage from the post-match attack with help from Rhino and Roderick Strong, as well as Michael Elgin coming out but not helping.
Jay Briscoe talks about what the Guardians of Truth did to them on television and Mark says that it was horse manure and pig droppings. Jay mentions Rhino and Roderick Strong getting involved. Jay says that he respects that Elgin did not get involved. Jay says that they are going to the House of Truth and they are going to destroy it.
The next topic is who is the First Lady of Ring of Honor, Maria Kanellis or Sara Del Rey. We go to footage from last weeks Mike Bennett versus Roderick Strong match and Saras involvement after the match.
Jay Lethal, Kenny King, and Rhett Titus versus Steve Corino, Jimmy Jacobs, and ROH World Champion Kevin Steen
The fight started before the bell even rang which lead to everyone but Lethal & Jacobs brawling on the outside. The match eventually got an official start as Kenny King and Steve Corino paired off in the ring. ANX used their experience as a team to maintain control over Corino but a distraction from Jacobs allowed Corino to hit a side suplex on King.
Steen and Jacobs bit King, which brought in Titus and Lethal to his defense and served to distract the referee. The SCUM trio of course took advantage of the situation by beating King down in their corner. King finally evaded a clothesline attempt from Corino and tagged in Lethal. The former TV Champion came in with a flurry of offense, avoiding a Steen clothesline attempt, and nailing a dive on Corino. Lethal hits Hail to the King on Steen but chaos resumes as everyone starts fighting again. Jay manages to catch Steen with a Lethal Combination but all six men are down. Corino stopped Lethal from hitting the Lethal Injection on Jacobs, which allowed Jacobs to hit Jay with the Contra Code, Corino followed with a sliding clothesline, then Steen connected with a Swanton Bomb on Lethal, but he somehow survived it all and kicked out! Finally Jacobs had the spike but Lethal caught him with a kick to the head and hit the Lethal Injection for the three count.
Winners: Jay Lethal, Kenny King, and Rhett Titus
After the match, Steen attacked Lethal from behind and sent him into the guardrails. Titus & King got into it Jacobs and Corino put Steen pulled Titus out of the ring and sent him into the guardrails too. Corino put down Kenny King with a clothesline then Steen brought a chair into the ring for Corino to drop King headfirst on.
This weekend on Ring of Honor Wrestling
- The main event features a big ROH World Championship match as former champion Homicide battles current champion Kevin Steen! In addition, Sara Del Rey faces Princess Mia Yim in one-on-one womens action. Plus Inside ROH takes a look at the upcoming Tag Team Tournament for the vacant ROH Tag Titles.
News & Rumors
- Boiling Point 2012 last Saturday in Providence, RI was a huge success and an event that was completely sold out!
- The Sicilian Psychopath Tommaso Ciampa proved last Saturday that he is a true warrior in every sense of the word. Ciampa severely hurt his knee in the opening minutes of his 2 Out of 3 Falls bout with Jay Lethal but he fought through the pain and wrestled for almost 20 minutes. Ciampa was defeated 2 falls to 1 but there is a question whether Ciampa would have even lost if Prince Nana didnt attack Barrister R.D. Evans at ringside causing Tommasos attention to be completely diverted.
- Truth Martini announced to the world last Saturday that Rhino would challenge for the ROH World Title against Kevin Steen at Death Before Dishonor X in Chicago Ridge on September 15th live on iPPV! Everyone will want to tune in to ROH TV this weekend to see exactly how that intriguing contest was officially signed.
- Truth also tried to announce negotiations for Roderick Strong and Michael Elgin challenging the new ROH Tag Champions on October 13th at Glory by Honor XI but Elgin cut him off and stated he had went to ROH officials earlier in the night and finally signed on to get his shot at Glory by Honor IX on October 13th in Mississauga! Then Roderick Strong claimed Michael Elgin's title opportunity, the one he earned by winning Survival of the Fittest 2011, belonged to him as per Martini's promises. This led to Roderick going on strike from the House of Truth and that he would sit ringside with the fans during Elgin's title match to watch him lose. Truth Martini has not been around for comment but apparently Martini is very anxious to make Roderick happy again. This is a very interesting situation as both Strong and Elgin are scheduled to team up at our next event in Charlotte, NC on September 8th.
- Gods Gift QT Marshall was victorious in the 4 Corner Survival last Saturday at Boiling Point 2012 and has earned an ROH contract. Marshall has officially signed for Ring of Honor's return to Charlotte, NC on September 8th and Baltimore on September 22nd. Congratulations to this gifted athlete.

INSIDE RING OF HONOR
Last week on "Ring of Honor Wrestling" TV
Truth Martini made his way to the ring to introduce the Guardians of Truth...
The Guardians of Truth w/ Truth Martini vs. Jay & Mark BriscoeMartini unmasked the Guardians to reveal an identical mask underneath. Jay started the match off, but the Guardians of Truth immediately double teamed him. Mark made the tag, connected with a dropkick to get control but the action spills outside and one of the Guardians threw Mark Briscoe into the guardrail to take over.
The Guardians of Truth are still in control as the show returns from commercial. The GoT leapfrog onto Mark's back as he's draped across the guardrail and lock on a sleeper hold once the action gets back into the ring. Mark fought out of it and made the tag to Jay who cleaned house with the GoT. The Briscoes set up for the Doomsday Device, but the Guardians break it up. The GoT go for a double team of their own, but Mark broke that up which gave Jay the opening to roll up one of the Guardians up for the victory.
Winners: The Briscoes
After the match the fight continued which brought out Roderick Strong & Rhino to assist their HoT allies. Michael Elgin also walked to ringside, but turned right back around and went to the back. Adam Cole, Jay Lethal, Caprice Coleman & Cedric Alexander then rushed the ring to run off the HoT.
Kevin Kelly introduced the upcoming challenger for the World Title at "Boiling Point 2012", CHIKARA Grand Champion Eddie Kingston. Kingston said hes struggled to become a World Champion for 10 years, and at Boiling Point he will have that opportunity. He said he will show the belt to all those who doubted him when he wins it. Kingston said hes going to win the belt for Larry Sweeney, and his own son to prove to him that he can be anything that he wants to be. Kingston closed by saying he will go through hell and spit in Satans face to become the next ROH World Champion.In this week's edition of "Inside ROH" we first see a recap from last week when Tommaso Ciampa wanted to know about the collusion between the HoT & The Embassy when RD Evans ratted out Prince Nana. It seems RD Evans has assumed now Ciampas contract.
We then get a recap of last weeks confrontation between The All Night Express and Wrestlings Greatest Tag Team. ROH officials have indefinitely suspended Shelton Benjamin for hitting Kenny King over the head with a steel chair.
We then take a look at the ROH World TV Title match where Adam Cole defeated Roderick Strong to became the 6th World Television Champion.
Mike Bennett w/ Maria & Brutal Bob vs. Lance Storm
This was the final match in the series with each man coming in with one win a piece. They traded control in the opening moments of the contest leading to Bennett escaping a Single Leg Boston Crab attempt. A dropkick garnered a two count for Storm, Bennett tried to take control but a corner splash missed, giving Storm back the advantage in the match. Storm and Bennett went strike for strike on the apron, but Bennett tossed Storm into the barricade to take over.
Bennett threw Storm shoulder-first into the ring post. Lance attempted to fight back but Bennett shut that down with a shoulder-breaker for a two count. Storm was able to counter a suplex attempt with a small package, but Bennett cut him back down with a clothesline. Storm finally nailed an enziguri to stop Bennett and put both men down as the referee counted. Storm rolls to the apron, Bennett went after him and tried to suplex him, but Storm clotheslined Bennett back into the ring. The two exchanged shots in the middle of the ring, Lance scored a springboard clothesline for a two count but missed a second enziguri which allowed Bennett to lock in a Single Leg Boston Crab, Storm's own move. Storm countered that and was able to lock in a Single Leg Boston Crab of his own, but Bennett reached the ropes to break the hold.
Storm went for a superplex, but Brutal Bob grabbed his foot, which gave Bennett the opening to hit a neckbreaker. Maria jumped on the apron to distract the official while Bob slide a chair into the ring and Bennett hit the Photo Finish onto the chair!
Winner by Pinfall: Mike Bennett
Following the match, Bennett and Bob held Lance up for Maria to slap which brought out Sara Del Rey and Eddie Edwards, their opponents at "Boiling Point 2012" to make the save for the Canadian Icon.

INSIDERING OF HONOR
Last weekend on "Ring of Honor Wrestling" TV
The show opened up with a recap of thematch between Eddie Edwards and Mike Bennett, where Bennett, BrutalBob and Maria beat down Edwards after the match.
This led right into...
Mike Bennett & Brutal Bob w/Maria vs Eddie Edwards & Adam Cole
Edwards and Bennett started the matchoff and it was Eddie who quickly got the advantage in the match.Eventually Bennett got the distance to tag in Bob, but Coleimmediately took control back with a series of armdrags. Bennett tookcontrol for his team from the apron when he struck Edwards, thedistraction giving Bob the chance to clothesline Edwards.
After taking a bit of a beating,Edwards was able to land on his feet after The Prodigyattempted a Suplex, and make the tag to Cole. Cole came in like ahouse of fire, tried going up top but, Bob stopped him while Edwards& Bennett spilled to the outside on a suplex. Cole, this timesuccesfully, flew off the top rope and hit a crossbody on Bob to pickup the pinfall for his team.
Winners: Eddie Edwards & AdamCole
After the match, Maria slapped Cole,but before he could do anything, Bob took the opportunity to attackAdam from behind. Bob restrained Cole while Maria hit him with herboot, but as she went for a second shot, Sara Del Rey made asurprising return to Ring of Honor to fend off Maria & Bob.
Coming off that contest, it was timefor this week's Inside ROH segment which focused first on AdamCole and his Hybrid Rules battle with Adam Cole from Best in theWorld 2012. It's announced that next week Cole will challenge forRoderick Strongs World TV Title.

Wrestlings Greatest Tag Team(Charlie Haas and Shelton Benjamin) vs Fusion DS (Matt Saigon andDamian Dragon)
Charlie Haas immediately took controlof the match after Shelton Benjamin, on the apron, struck DamianDragon from behind while Haas did it from the front. Haas andBenjamin laid a beating on Dragon until he was able to fight free ofa powerbomb and slide between Shelton's legs to tag in Saigon. Saigonfought back hard but Benjamin quickly ended it with a clothesline andsuperkick. Charlie came in to finish the job with the Olympic Slam onSiagon to pick up the pinfall.

Mondo punched Steen in the face tostart things off while Steve Corino joined the commentary team.
They brawled around the outside of thering with Mondo actually in control as he sendt Steen into thebarricade. They fought up the entrance way where Steen tried tothrow the barricade onto Mondo, but Mondo moved. Unfortunately forMike that barricade would prove his undoing as Steen powerbombedMondo on top of it to take control. Mondo crawled his way back intothe ring at the count of 19 but Steen was in control, even getting onon the mic during the match and telling Mondo he doesnt deservethe title shot and that after the match he isnt going to be knownas No Fear, but No Balls.
Mondo fired back, Steen went outside,Mondo connected with a dive to the outside. Mondo hit a double stompa la Davey Richards and got a close two count. Mondo tried to go upto the top, but Steen hit an elevated DDT, and followed it up with acorner cannonball for a two. Mondo countered the F Cinq into a smallpackage for another close near fall but Steen dropped Mondo throatfirst across the top rope, and follows it up with the F Cinq toretain his ROH World Title.

Last week on Ring of Honor Wrestling TV
After comments from both Lethal & Elgin, including aheated moment between Elgin and Roderick Strong where Unbreakable told Strongto stay away from the ring, the action got underway.
Jay Lethal vs. Michael Elgin
Elgin actually shook hands with Lethal, following the Codeof Honor, before the match got started but once it did it was quite the backand for the contest until Truth Martini attempted to get involved, causingenough of a distraction to allow Elgin to take control. Jay attempted to getback into the match but Elgin sent him over the top rope to the floor where,with the referee out of position, Martini kicked and chopped down on Lethal. Lethalfought back again, tried for a springboard move, but Martini interfered yetagain, pulling his leg. Lethal recovered though and managed to get a few nearfalls with a sunset flip and then a rollup. Elgin missed a spinning back fistbut Lethal missed an enzuigiri which opened him up for Elgin to get a Germansuplex for a near victory. Elgin delivered a running knee to Lethal and thensent him into the turnbuckles. Lethal blocked a knee attempt which opened upElgin to get hit with an enzuigiri to the back and Lethal to hit the LethalCombination. He went to the top rope for the big but Roderick Strong came outto stop Lethal while the referee was distracted with Martini. Lethal kicksStrong off and leaps over Elgin. Lethal hits a springboard drop kick thatknocks Strong off the apron. Elgin with the spinning back fist and he tries forthe spinning power bomb but Strong gets into the ring and argues with Elgin.Lethal drop kicks Elgin into Strong and then Lethal hits the Lethal Injectionfor the three count.
After the match, Strong and Elgin have some words andMartini wants Strong and Elgin to make up but Elgin left the ring. Strongcalled Elgin back to the ring but Elgin takes the microphone and tells Roddythis is the last mistake he will ever make.
This edition of Inside ROH took a look at some of thefootage from the Charleston event and Kevin Kelly mentioned that footage fromNew Yorks Best in the World 2012 iPPV will be seen in the coming weeksincluding the the Fit Finlay versus Michael Elgin match as well as the WorldTelevision Title Match between Roderick Strong, Tommaso Ciampa, and Jay Lethal.
Kevin asked Jim Cornette about making the match betweenKevin Steen and Eddie Edwards a title match. Cornette said that because Steenmade a poor impression on a sponsor, this match would be for the title. Steenaddressed the people of West Virginia and he told JC to listen to what the fansare chanting. The crowd chanted Mr. Wrestling which Kevin said that is thename that Jim told Bobby Cruise never to introduce him as. Steen said that theWorld Title proves that he is Mr. Wrestling.
Jim asks Kevin if he wants him to enter the ring. Steentells Jim that he has a lot to tell him about. Steen says that the peopledisagree with Cornette that he is not Mr. Wrestling. The title also disagreeswith Jim. Steen says that he wants to tell Jim about the great time he had withthe sponsor last week at dinner. Jim wants Kevin to know how much money he costthe company over his tricks. Steen says that the sponsors overreacted when theycalled security. Cornette says that Steen threatened his life. Steen says thatCornette was wrong. He just told the guy that if he continued to poke him, hewouldnt order off the menu, he would feast on his face. Cornette says that ifSteen was the World Champ, he would ruin the company because of the way thesponsors would react. Because he wants someone to beat Steen for the title,tonights match is for the World Title. If Edwards does not win tonight and ifDavey does not win at Best in the World 2012, every time Steen is in asingles match, it will be for the title. Cornette doesnt care who it is. Itwill happen before the affiliates meeting in September. It will happen sooneror later.
Steen says that sooner or later, they will be dead. ForCornette, it will be sooner and it will be later for him. Steen remindsCornette that he is the World Champion. Steve Corino has joined Jim and Kevinat the announce table.

INSIDE RING OF HONOR
Last week on Ringof Honor Wrestling TV
The show started off with a look at last weeks show whenEddie Edwards came out after Mike Bennetts match to even the odds on apost-match attack by Bennett & Bob Evans. We also hear the challenge thatBennett made for Edwards to face Bob Evans.
- Die Hard Eddie Edwards beat Bob Evans w/ Mike Bennett &Maria Kanellis
The bout started with Edwards in complete control but adistraction by Bennett gave Evans the opening to take over with runningshoulder tackle and kicks to the head. Evans shockingly used some basicwrestling maneuvers to keep control of the match but Edwards slowly fought backinto control with his vicious kicks & chops before the action spilled outto the floor briefly.
Back in the ring Edwards went up top for a double stomp butEvans moved. Edwards got into the Achilles Lock but Bennett got on the apron whichcaused Edwards to release the hold. Evans attempted to roll Edwards up but theformer World Champion rolled through and got the three count with a backslide.
After the match, Bennett & Evans attacked Edwards until,to the shock of all, The Notorious 187 Homicides music played and he hit thering to fend them off. Homicide checked on Edwards but Eddie pushed him away.Homicide told Eddie that he was just trying to help him out, they shook hands,which was all just a set-up by Homicide to kick Edwards in the midsection andhit him with the Cop Killa.
It is time to talk about the Television Title picture and itfocuses on the actions of Prince Nana, Barrister R.D. Evans, and Truth Martini.Kevin Kelly suggested that there might have been some sort of collusion betweenthe Embassy and House of Truth.
We went to comments from Truth and Nana, but Evans stoppedNana from making any comments.
Jay Lethal, prior to his match, talked about how crookedNana and Truth both are and that he is only worried about Strong and Ciampa.

Truth Martini hyped up The Guardians of Truth and we alsogot The Briscoes comments on the GoT.
We are told that the piledriver will be allowed during theSteen/Richards match. Jim Cornette stated that Davey wants the piledriver allowed for the match because he doesnt wantSteen to have any excuses and because he is a man of honor. Steen wants thepiledriver legal because Steen wants any advantage. Jim says that the fans wantthe piledriver legal because they want anarchy and chaos. Corporate doesntwant the piledriver allowed because they dont want to be sued if someone getsparalyzed. Cornette says that the piledriver is legal.
No matter what happens, Steen will not be the Ring of Honorchampion when the affiliates meeting takes place in September. Cornette saysthat if Richards cannot do it, he will find someone who will.
Jimmy Jacobs said that Kyle and Davey want revenge ontelevision tonight. He says that the fans in Torontowere chanting You cant beat him because Davey cannot beat Steen.
Kevin Steen said that the same thing that happened in Torontowill happen later tonight. Davey will not win and he will let down Jim Cornetteagain. Kyle will not be able to do anything about it.
Steen said that he wishes he could defend this belt moreoften because Davey did not really defend the title that much. Steen says thatSunday is Daveys last shot at the Ring of Honor title so Davey must havepissed off Cornette. After months of matches where Cornette was trying to getrid of him, it did not work and he is the champion. He will retain the title atBest in the World.
We then went to the locker room where Veda Scott was withDavey Richards and Kyle OReilly. Kyle started to talk and Davey told Kyle toshut up. He says that he is sick of Kyle talking. They are not about talking.They are about doing. Davey tells Kyle to stand up and fight. He knows whattype of person Kyle is. He wants the Team Ambition Kyle OReilly.

June 20th, 2012 - 06/20/12
Last week on Ring of Honor Wrestling TV
The show began with a recap of last week where Eddie Edwardsdefeated Davey Richards while Eddie commented that he saw how Jacobs changedthe outcome of the match, and that he refuses to accept that victory thus ithas been ruled a no contest.
It jumped straight into the action as The Prodigy MikeBennett, with Maria and Brutal Bob at his side, took down Adam Page with theTKO. After the match, Brutal Bob & Bennettlaid a beating on Page, which drew Eddie Edwards out to fend them off. Bennett got on the microphone and told Edwardshes sticking his nose where it doesnt belong and that Edwards cant even beatBrutal Bob. So next week, its Edwards versus Brutal Bob one-on-one.
Kevin Steen then came to the ring with Jimmy Jacobs andSteve Corino. Corino took themicrophone, told Jim Cornette that he needed to take a second to listen to whathis world champion had to say, then passed it over to Steen. The World Champion said that next week he andJimmy will take on Kyle OReilly and Davey Richards. Steen said he is still waiting to hearwhether or not the Package Piledriver will be legal at Best in the World 2012,adding that he wants a No DQ match for the Ring of Honor World Title. Steensaid when he takes Richards out, Cornette is going to realize its not aboutwho is the best in the world because its a hostage crisis.
The Briscoes were then in action against Sam Shaw and QTMarshall, dispatching the duo with the Doomsday Device on Shaw to pick up thewin. After the match, Truth Martini got on the microphone and told the Briscoethat the challenge has been made for Best in the World for the Briscoes toface the Guardians of Truth. He asked them if they accepted, and Jay says that theBriscoes will whoop their ass in New York City.
Veda Scott is in the back with Prince Nana and RD Evans.Evans says they advised Ciampa to pursue other ventures than the TV Title, butCiampa is still challenging for it.
Its now time for Inside ROH. Last weeks segment betweenWrestlings Greatest Tag Team and the All Night Express is recapped. Finlaysays he will find out what Michael Elgin is made of at Best in the World. JayLethal says hes going to use Strong and Ciampas dislike of each other to hisadvantage to become the new ROH World TV Champion. Davey Richards says he wantsrevenge on Steen. He tells OReilly he needs to think about redemption becausehes become a whiner.
Veda Scott is then joined backstage with Truth Martini andRoderick Strong. Strong says he was told he wouldnt have to wrestle TommasoCiampa. Martini tells Strong that the ixfay is in.
In the main event it was the ROH World TV Title Matchbetween champion Roderick Strong & Tommaso Ciampa with their respectiveorganizations at their side. Right off the bat things seemed odd as whileneither wrestler followed the Code of Honor and shook hands, Martini &Prince Nana did follow the code.
The match was an even fight but got very strange in the endas while Tommaso Ciampa was in control following a Wheelbarrow German Suplex,RD Evans distracted the referee which allowed Prince Nana gets in the ring.Nana got his by Roderick but the distraction was enough for Ciampa to hit theProject Ciampa. Then it got stranger as Nana got back in the ring and struck Strongwhile Ciampa had him pinned, effectively costing his man the TV Title as refereeTodd Sinclair had to disqualify Ciampa.

Last weekend on Ring of Honor Wrestling TV
It was a Road Rage edition this week on Ring of Honor Wrestling TV and featured the main event of Border Wars where Davey Richards defended the ROH World Title against Kevin Steen.
Prior to the start of the title bout, we got an in-depth recap of the ROH World Tag Title/Fight Without Honor between Jay & Mark Briscoe and Charlie Haas & Shelton Benjamin.
We also got a recap of the build up to the match between Richards and Steen including comments from Eddie Edwards. Edwards says Richards is at his strongest with his back against the wall. He says Steen winning the title would be bad for everybody and hes rooting for Richards.
Davey Richards says after all the battles it all comes down to this match. They may be in Canada, but theyre in Richards ring.
Kevin Steen says he chose to be a pro wrestler on his own terms, and that its irked some people along the way. The person its bothered the most is Jim Cornette. After this match, theyre going to have to call him ROH World Champion.
The entire match must be seen as a recap can not do it justice, and it can be seen in its entirety at ROHWrestling.com by ordering the replay of Border Wars. Suffice to say that Wrestling Worst Nightmare Kevin Steen was crowned the new ROH World Champion
This weekend on Ring Of Honor Wrestling TV
- The first In-Ring Interview with the NEW ROH World Champion Kevin Steen with Jimmy Jacobs and Steve Corino by his side.
- The All Night Express (Kenny King & Rhett Titus) battle Caprice Coleman & Cedric Alexander in a first time meeting.
- Adam Cole goes one-on-one with No Fear Mike Mondo
- The Dominant Male Tommaso Ciampa with The Embassy LTD will be in action!
- Plus all of the fallout from Border Wars and lots of information regarding Best In The World 2012
News & Rumors
- ROH World Champion Kevin Steen has sent word that ROH is in for a huge shake up now that he is Champion and anything can happen at the live events. ROH officials are fully aware of what Steen is capable of and are prepared for anything.
- Jim Cornette and ROH officials are lining up matches throughout the summer to make sure that all of the top contenders in ROH get a shot at the ROH World Championship. The goal right now is to do everything within reason to make sure Kevin Steens ROH World Championship reign is as short as possible.
- Due to the actions in the month of May by Wrestlings Greatest Tag Team, effectively immediately, and for the duration in which Charlie Haas and Shelton Benjamin hold the ROH World Tag Team Championship, the titles can, and will, change hands on a disqualification in championship matches. This ruling is being made in order to encourage WGTT to show honor and dignity during matches, and being champions, represent ROH with a certain level of integrity. As unfortunate as it would be for the titles to change hands on a disqualification, we find it would be even more unfortunate if Charlie Haas & Shelton Benjamin continue to display behavior that displeases everyone from the fans to the officials to the wrestlers.
- Truth Martini has informed ROH officials that his hired mercenary Rhino will be employed with the House of Truth throughout the summer in ROH including upcoming events in Baltimore, Pittsburgh, and Milwaukee.
- Speaking of the above, something is definitely going on between The House of Truth and The Embassy LTD that goes beyond the public transaction involving the House acquiring Rhino from The Embassy a few months ago.
- "The Prodigy" Mike Bennett and Maria Kanellis have promised a Live Prodigy Service Announcement (PSA) at "Best In The World 2012" in NYC on June 24th.

Last weekend on Ring of Honor Wrestling TV
The All Night Express & The Young Bucks look to settle their issues in the main event while Mike Bennett & Eddie Edwards look to do the same in the opener!
The Prodigy says hes going to make sure Edwards never touches Maria again while Eddie says hes going to get even for what happened in the March Mayhem tournament.
Eddie Edwards vs. Mike Bennett w/ Brutal Bob & Maria
The match started with a bit of a feeling out process but eventually ended up on the outside of the ring where Bennett hit a Russian leg sweep into the barricade. Back in the ring Edwards fought his way back into control despite repeated attempts at interference from Brutal Bob and picked up the win with a quick rollup. Still, the number came into play as after the match, Maria distracted Edwards so Bennett & Brutal Bob could beat down Eddie.
Next up Grizzly Redwood was scheduled to for a match but before the bout could begin the House of Truth made their way to the ring. Truth Martini offered Redwood and his opponent $1000 to team up to wrestle Michael Elgin which they agree to. Elgin quickly dispatched Redwoods partner, leaving him alone against Unbreakable, but Jay Lethal came to the aid of Griz against the HoT.
Redwood made a tag to Lethal who went house of fire on Elgin until a distraction by Strong left him open to get hit by an Elgin spinning backfist. Unfortunately for Elgin though, Strong blatantly attacked Lethal which drew a DQ from the official and gave the victory to Lethal & Redwood. Following the end, Strong & Elgin had words which gave Lethal an opportunity to hit Roderick with the Lethal Injection for a measure of revenge.
This weeks Inside ROH highlighted the bad blood between The Young Bucks and The All Night Express as they prepared for the match later.
The Young Bucks (Matt and Nick Jackson) vs. The All Night Express (Rhett Titus and Kenny King)
Titus and King immediately took the fights to the Jacksons while the ring announcements were still being made but Matt & Nick quickly fought back and began to double team Titus. Eventually Rhett managed to tag Kenny into the bout but it all ended up with a pair of superkicks on King that eliminated him from the bout, leaving Titus all alone.
With Kenny eliminated, The Young Bucks focused their attack on Titus surgically-repaired knee but some miscommunication from the Young Bucks allowed Titus to hit a Northern Lights Suplex on Matt Jackson, still the numbers advantage allowed Nick to break up the pin attempt. The Bucks went for for More Bang for Your Buck, looking to finish off Rhett, but Titus rolled up Matt Jackson to eliminate him.
Kenny King came back to ringside to cheer on his teammate which came in handy when Matt Jackson tried to come back and get involved. Kenny took him out of the picture while Rhett delivered a huge DDT to Nick to eliminate him and get the win for his team!

- ROH debuts in Charleston, WV on June 15th and it is scheduled to be a huge card with an ROH World Title Match between Wrestlings Worst Nightmare Kevin Steen and Die Hard Eddie Edwards headlining.

El Hijo de Ice Cream, Ice Cream Junior, and Ophidian lost to The Colony (Fire Ant, Green Ant, and Soldier Ant) in a hotly contested match that was certainly different than anything else seen in Ring of Honor!
Ricky Reyes fought former ROH World TV Champion Jay Lethal, but it was the Lethal Injection that was the decision maker here and got Lethal the victory.
Veda Scott interviewed Davey Richards about the match with Rhino later. Davey mentioned the seventy thousand dollars that was offered to take him out but noted how Truth already has someone in his camp who is unbreakable, then said it would be hard to gore someone when your ankle is broken.
This weeks edition of Inside ROH covered the growing issue between Eddie Edwards & Mike Bennett stemming from the March Mayhem Tournament. The rematch goes down next week.
Next week we will also see the All Night Express against the Young Bucks in an elimination bout.
Veda Scott was then with Rhino & Truth Martini. Truth tells Rhino that money talks and Rhino gores, then Davey Richards dies. Rhino says that he will rip Davey in half with a GORE.
ROH World Champion Davey Richards pinned Rhino in the Proving Ground Match main event with a sunset flip, but immediately following the bell, Roderick Strong attacked Richards and Rhino joined in. ROH officials came to ringside to stop it, but it was Jay Lethal who hit the ring to take care of Roderick Strong and Rhino. The HoT duo bailed leaving Richards and Lethal standing together in the ring.
This week on "Ring of Honor Wrestling TV

News & Rumors
- Kevin Steen is unfortunately the new ROH World Champion after defeating Davey Richards last Saturday at Border Wars in Toronto.
- Border Wars will go down as one of the greatest Ring of Honor events of all time!
- Steve Corino shocked everyone by embracing Kevin Steen after his World Title win last Saturday at Border Wars. Everyone is waiting to hear what Steve Corino has to say about what happened in Toronto. We expect Steve to speak out on the situation this Friday in Baltimore at the Du Burns Arena.
- There will be a special match taped for the INTERNET ONLY this Friday in Baltimore at the Du Burns Arena to determine a challenger for the World Title on 6/30 in Pittsburgh, PA. 4 men will be selected out of 8 in a random drawing to compete in a 4-Way elimination to determine who will get a shot at the ROH World Championship in Pittsburgh!
- The Dominant Male Tommaso Ciampa suffered his first loss last Saturday since entering ROH over a year and a half ago. Jay Lethal gained retribution on Ciampa for costing him the TV Title by taking Ciampas undefeated streak away from him. Ciampa immediately left the Ted Reeve Arena in a rage after the bout last Saturday and has yet to be heard from by The Embassy or anyone else from ROH. Despite Ciampas unstable attitude, it is a true testament to his ability that he was able to remain undefeated for so long in such a vast pool of competition.

Last Weekend on Ring of Honor Wrestling TV
Its Kevin Steen vs. Kyle OReilly in the main event, one week before Kevins ROH World Title match at Border Wars against Kyles friend & mentor Davey Richards!
Before we got to that though, it was The Dominant Male Tommaso Ciampa versus Matt Taven in the opening contest of the evening! With Jay Lethal watching at ringside, Ciampa picked up the victory following a series of running knees to the head & Project Ciampa to Taven. Words were exchanged between Lethal & Ciampa but not physicality between the Border Wars opponents went down
Veda Scott was in the locker room with TJ Perkins but his interview was interrupted by The Young Bucks who wondered why Veda wasnt interviewing them. Words were exchanged there as well but Perkins left for his scheduled match against Mike Mondo before it got more heated.
The Mondo/Perkins contest was quite even until The Young Bucks made their way to ringside, repeatedly causing a distraction that ultimately led to TJ getting caught by Mondo and drilled with an elevated DDT that got No Fear the win! The Bucks & Mondo began to assault Perkins but the All Night Express hit the ring to even the odds.
It was time to go Inside ROH once again as we are on the eve of Border Wars.
We got comments from the challengers for the World Tag Team Titles, Charlie Haas and Shelton Benjamin as they prepare for their final shot at the titles. Jay Briscoe then commented as well, saying that they have been through a war and they might have started it, but in Florida, Haas and Benjamin crossed the line. Jay says that they are going to cross the line in Canada.
Truth Martini discusses the three matches involving the House of Truth next weekend.
Roderick tells Finlay that he hears that he likes to fight. On May 12th, he will be in store for the biggest fight of his life.
Michael Elgin tells Adam Cole he walks into Toronto in a dream land of his. On May 12th, Cole gets a dose of reality when he faces the only man who is the true breakout star of 2012.
Rhino tells Eddie Edwards that he is a former Heavyweight Champion and so is he. Rhino says that he gets paid to take people out and he will do it in Toronto. Eddie Edwards says that he has done his talking and it is about what will happen in the ring. It will be about who will take the most and get up to fight back. He will not be stopped and he is going to get the World Title again.
Mike Bennett tells Maria that it makes him really sad that Lance didnt get the picture in Fort Lauderdale. Lance begged for another match against him. He doesnt like that Lance wants it in his home country. Mike wants to be serious for a minute. He says that Lances Ring of Honor career came close to an end in Fort Lauderdale. It will definitely end in Toronto.
Veda Scott returned, this time in the locker room with Kyle OReilly, and he addressed his match with Steen in the main event, saying he will expose Steen for the fraud that he is and everyone will wake up from Wrestlings Greatest Daydream.
Steve Corino joined Kevin Kelly & Nigel McGuinness at the announce table for the main event as Jimmy Jacobs joined Kevin Steen at ringside while Kyle OReilly stood alone.
In a battle of power vs. speed, force vs. technique, Steen & OReilly battled it out but it came down to Steen nailing the GTH to get the win over Kyle! After the match, Steen attacked Kyle with a tennis racket and then, with Jacobs taunting him, Kyle was placed in the ankle lock by Kevin.
This brought out Davey Richards as he fought Jacobs & Steen both, but a low blow from Jimmy cut off that rally. Steen took the tennis racket to Richards with the tennis racket and then once more to Kyle before security removed them. After Davey recovered, he took the microphone and told Steen there is one thing he will never do, take Daveys Ring of Honor title from him. Not only will he kick Steens ass and bury him in Toronto, he will show Steen what it is like to be helpless. He tells Kevin that his days of pretending to be an athlete or a professional wrestler are quickly coming to an end. Davey then says his American Strong Style thing is dead, and if Steen wants the Wolf, hes got the Wolf and he is hunting Steen.

Last Weekend on Ring of Honor Wrestling TV
Its Road Rage once more as we hit Ft. Lauderdale for highlights from Showdown in the Sun " Day 2on March 31st!
First up, the ROH World Tag Team Champions Jay & Mark Briscoe defended their belts against Charlie Haas & Shelton Benjamin! It was the typical hard-fought affair between the four men that was every bit the brawl you would expect. It was fought just as much outside the ring as it was inside, but once everything got under control, it was the brothers who captured the victory in this rivalry. Despite the loss, WGTT wasnt done as they assaulted both men after the conclusion of the bout, laying Mark out on the floor, and using the corner post to abuse the groin of Jay.
Next up was a match between CHIKARAs Fire Ant & Technical Lightning TJ Perkins that saw masked man give it all he had but it wasnt enough as a 450 Splash from Perkins gave him the win after a good back-and-forth battle.
Inside ROH gave us comments from Kevin Steen & Davey Richards as they prepare to lock-up at Border Wars on May 12th as well as word with Lance Storm about his rematch with The Prodigy Mike Bennett that night as well.
In the main event of the night, Jay Lethal was conned by Tommaso Ciampa into putting his ROH World TV Title on the line against Roderick Strong. Lethal had the match in his pocket but interference from Ciampa on the floor left the champion open for attack, and Strong took advantage to pick up the win, and become the new TV Champion; a victory that also marks him as the 2nd man to win the ROH Triple Crown!
