aceldamas presents ROH

[aceldamas]

The action so far:

Kevin Steen wins Survival of the Fittest to win the ROH World Championship. Steen turns away title bids by Rhino and Michael Elgin. Then he begins a feud with the new House of Truth of Mike Mondo and Kyle O'Reilly. He turns away both challengers but Mondo demands another match. Steen agrees but if Mondo loses the HoT gets no more title matches while he is champ. Steen wins and closes out this feud. Jimmy Jacobs moves into the number one contender's spot and becomes Steen's gate keeper to the title. Jacobs and his railroad spike are an effective roadblock leaving prospective challengers like Jay Lethal and El Generico bloody and defeated. The next contender is Homicide. It is safe to say that Jacobs does not so easily put down the Notorious 187. S.C.U.M. is now embroiled in a feud with Homicide who has had help from Jay Lethal.

The Briscoe Brothers won a tournament for the ROH World Tag Team Championship. Besides a short reign by C & C, the Briscoes have had a strong grip on the titles. They have been having a series of singles matches with WGTT leading to a championship showdown.

ROH resurrected the Field of Honor format to crown a TV champion. The contenders have been pared down to the winner of a Roderick Strong/El Generico match meeting Rhino in Bracket A.
Bracket B is down to Eddie Edward vs. Mike Bennett.

Strong and Elgin have had some heated battles with Roddy usually getting the win and taunting Elgin.

C & C have feuded with the Young Bucks but the heat has died down. Who knows if it will be reignited, especially if a shot at the tag titles is on the line.

RING OF HONOR TELEVISION

2013 Season Episode 13

The show opens with Kevin Steen in the ring, his Ring of Honor World Heavyweight Championship belt over his shoulder. "Y'know I've been defending this belt for a while now... I've had to beat a lot of tough guys to keep it. Well, it's seems there aren't too many of those tough guys left. Except one. He may be the toughest of them all. I know I can't hold on to this belt forever, so I might as well meet this head on and get it over with. So, could my next challenger, and maybe your next heavyweight champion, come to the ring for his title shot?"
The challengers music plays and stepping through the curtain is Cedric Alexander. He walks tentatively to the ring, some of the crowd cheering, others booing Steen who stands in the ring grinning. Kevin Kelly expresses his frustration at this situation. "Cedric Alexander is a great wrestler, but he has been working primarily in a tag team for the last year or so. This is not who anyone had in mind as Kevin Steen's next contender." Steen follows the Code of Honor and the match begins.
