RING OF HONOR TELEVISION

2013 Season Episode 15

The show opens with ROH World Tag Team Champions, Wrestling's Greatest Tag Team, and the number one contenders, the Young Bucks, in the ring. Introductions are made for this singles match between Shelton Benjamin and Matt Jackson. Before the match can start, matchmaker Nigel McGuinness intercedes: "Excuse me one moment gentlemen. Seeing as this is a one on one match, I'm going to ask Charlie Haas and Nick Jackson to leave the ring area. I don't want a repeat of what happened last week."
Haas is angry but Nick nods his head and leaves. Haas is finally coaxed to the back by some referees.

Shelton Benjamin def. Matt Jackson by pin
Jackson jumps Shelton during the Code of Honor and has him stunned, getting a couple of early pin attempts. The two men exchange offense but eventually Benjamin starts battering Matt. Three consecutive turnbuckle powerbombs followed by a tombstone piledriver and Shelton gets the win.

Adam Cole def. Michael Elgin by pin
Elgin overpowers Cole early and hits him with a series of high impact moves. Cole turns things around after superplexing Elgin who was going for a deathjump. Elgin never gets back into the match and Cole utilizes the Florida Key for the huge win.

Veda Scott interviews ROH World Heavyweight Champion Cedric Alexander. Cedric addresses Rhino's comments from last week: "Rhino, you say you're the true world champion in ROH? As far as I'm concerned, since I beat the man you never could, that makes me the top champion around here."

Rhino(c) def. Jay Lethal by pin
Lethal began the match on fire but could not keep Rhino down. After Lethal missed an elbow from the top rope, it was all Rhino. Lethal survived two Gores but eventually the third one got him.

Next week: ROH World Champion, Cedric Alexander, faces Roderick Strong in a non-title bout. And the Briscoes take on the House of Truth.

Some excellent action here for sure. Solid booking on each show. Interview segments are top notch and Alexander on top is great to see. It cannot possibly last long but it is fun when the dice shake things up every once in a while

[aceldamas]

Thanks for the comments bookerbill. I wish Cedric at least had a finisher so he would have a chance of holding onto it for a defense or two.

The Briscoes smack O'Reilly around for a bit until he can tag in Mondo. Fearless charges Jay who ducks out of the way and is kung fu chopped by Mark from the corner. Jay rolls up Mondo for the three count. Martini complains to the ref and O'Reilly gives Mondo the business for losing the match.

Mike Bennett def. Caprice Coleman by pin
Coleman weathers a beating to turn the match into an even contest. Brutal Bob slugs Caprice while Maria distracted the ref, setting up the Prodigy for the Box Office Smash.

The Young Bucks are interviewed by Veda Scott. Since Wrestling's Greatest Tag Team can't seem to finish a match without being disqualified, the Bucks want their upcoming title shot to be no disqualification.

Roderick Strong def. Cedric Alexander by pin
Roddy executes a series of backbreakers and applies the Strong Hold, defeating the ROH World Heavyweight Champion in a matter of minutes. This was a non-title bout but Roddy says he will see Alexander next week in Pittsburgh for the real deal.

RING OF HONOR TELEVISION

2013 Season Episode 17

The show opens with Nigel McGuinness in the ring to address the incident that occurred at the end of the house show last week in Pittsburgh. He explains that sometimes wrestlers go into business for themselves and that Charlie Haas did just that in the main event last week. When they sacrifice the good of the company to satisfy their own ego, it cannot go unanswered. Charlie is officially fired from the company and Wrestling's Greatest Tag Team are stripped of the ROH World Tag Team Championship. He then calls Shelton Benjamin to the ring and says he can keep his job if he returns the title belts to him right now. Shelton comes down to the ring with the belts and explains that it was all Charlie and that he shouldn't have gone along with it. Nigel says he is suspending him. Shelton accepts his punishment and we go to commercial.

FOUR CORNER SURVIVAL
Mike Bennett def. Eddie Edwards, Rhett Titus, and Caprice Coleman
Edwards spent most of the time in the ring getting some near falls against Coleman but it was Bennett who got the win over Eddie with the Box Office Smash.

Davey Richards def. El Generico by pin
At first this match went back and forth with neither man getting a solid advantage. Then they pulled out the stops and it became a hard hitting affair which turned into a lot of brawling at ringside. Richards finally gets the pin after an Alarm Clock. There is hesitation on both men's parts but they obey the Code of Honor.

Adam Cole gives a promo about his Television title shot next week against Rhino. He says history will repeat itself and he will beat him like he did last week.

Tomasso Ciampa w/Truth Martini def. Cedric Alexander by pin

Nice. This is the one I've been waiting for. Can Rhino find an answer to Cole's speed advantage and down the challenger or will we see the TV strap transferred to a new owner...
