This fed is my vision of how ROH landing a national television deal would go down in a perfect world ROH on Destination America Episode 1 Following the procurement of a national television deal and their acknowledged ascendance as the #2 wrestling promotion in the world, Ring Of Honor wrestling begins a NEW era...
All titles have been vacated, with tournaments to be held to crown NEW champions...
Nigel McGuinness continues as the official "matchmaker" for ROH Wrestling, announcing that ROH will utilize every resource available to continue to provide not only the "Best Wrestling On The Planet", but also feature the top talent in the industry as well, leading to the announcement that ROH's first television main event will feature the return of former 2-time ROH & TNA World champion Austin Aries to Ring Of Honor!

The Greatest Man That Ever Lived is here for one reason & one reason only, to reclaim the ROH World championship and the quest begins tonight against Roderick Strong!ROH WORLD TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP TOURNAMENT, ROUND 1Alex Koslov & Rocky Romero (Forever Hooligans) defeated Bobby Fish & Kyle O'Reilly (ReDragon) when Koslov pinned Fish following an assisted corner splash to advance to the semi-finalsBackstage footage of both Austin Aries & Roderick Strong in preparation for our television main event!

My personal pick for the greatest heel EVER, in addition to probably my favorite match of all-time against The Hammer in that Dog Collar classic!
May the Rowdy Scot Rest in peace, your memory & legacy will live FOREVER!

Pariah - Maybe it's not a coincidence that Jimmy Jacobs was absent as Jay went on his rampage... The Addiction/Cole alliance becomes clearer right now!
RING OF HONOR TELEVISION
2015 Season Episode 10 The Addiction came to the ring dressed in clothing reminiscent of their Bad Influence days. Christopher Daniels: “Before we get to what we have to say, let me introduce our good friend, and one of the best wrestlers on the planet: Adam Cole!”The crowd booed as Cole came out in a sporty suit. Daniels: “It’s time for things in Ring of Honor to change. It’s time we are recognized for our greatness. We are the elite, the entitled, we are Affluence!”The jeers continued. Kazarian: “For those people asking why the change in attitude, what’s our origin story, it’s simple: there are people like all of you and then there are people like us. We’re jet-setters, we’re the in-crowd. We take what we want. We don’t ask. ”Cole: “What Kaz is trying to say is: we’re winners and you’re all... losers. None of you or anyone in the locker room deserve what we have.”Daniels: “Well, maybe there is one guy in the back who’s on our level. You’ll be meeting him soon enough. Now, down to business. Young Bucks, you winning the ROH tag team titles was a fluke and everyone knows it. That’s okay, though. We made sure our contract had a rematch clause. And since the two of you are heading to Japan for six to eight weeks, to meet the thirty-day rematch stipulation that match needs to happen before you leave. So, in two weeks we expect to meet you here on ROH Television to win our titles back! Nigel, be a good chap and make it happen. Life may be good, but Affluence is better!”reDRagon def. BJ Whitmer & Caprice Coleman by pin Whitmer and Coleman had Bobby Fish on the run early but Kyle O’Reilly turned things around for his team. Fish and O’Reilly combo-ed for Chasing the Dragon on Whitmer for the solid three count. Roderick Strong def. Raymond Rowe w/Steve Corino by pin Rowe got the jump on the ROH World Champion and got a near fall with Death Rowe that had the fans on their feet. With Corino urging him on, Ray used his finisher again but Roddy still kicked out. Strong was far from out of it as he countered Rowe with a half nelson backbreaker. Rowe fought his way out of the Strong Hold twice and survived a Sick Kick but Roddy won the battle of attrition by working on Ray’s back and putting him away with another Sick Kick. Rowe gave the champion a tough match and may be a contender down the road. INSIDE ROH: ROH’s next live event takes place in Hopkins, MN! Already signed for this great night of action is War Machine taking on The Fringe of Jimmy Jacobs and Mark Briscoe. Tommaso Ciampa battles the returning Cedric Alexander. AJ Styles will also be on hand with the rest of the stars of Ring of Honor! AJ Styles def. Matt Taven w/Truth Martini by pin Styles wasted no time taking out Taven. A Phenomenal DDT set up a Spiral Tap for the win. Truth just put his head in his hand and shook his head. Next: Tommaso Ciampa defends the ROH World Television Championship against ACH! "Life may be good, but Affluence is better" - start printing up the t-shirts! CLASSIC!

If the numbers for the new show are better, I wouldn't hold my breath. Unfortunately, neither would I, but I'd like to think that more people would watch ROH than Bigfoot In America

Didn't Chris Jericho's list of 1,004 holds start with the armdrag? Still one of the better promos of all-time! Arm-BAR!

no, not serious at all-Mr. America is not returning, it was just a satirical shot at how the WWE really cares much more about their bottom line than they do about racist remarks after all, remember when the Mexicools rode to the ring on lawnmowers? Was that more offensive than 2 black dudes named Cryme Tyme???
