Davey Richards def. Caprice Coleman by submission
Coleman gave the ROH World Champion a run for his money but Richards made him tap to an Ankle Lock.

Shelton Benjamin def. Jay Lethal by pin
Lethal dominated the early portion of the match but Shelton was able to turn it around. Three straight Paydirts were too much for Lethal and Benjamin's hand was raised in victory.

Inside ROH: It has been announced that Michael Elgin will be the next challenger for Adam Cole's World Television Championship. The match will take place next week on ROH Television. Elgin cuts a promo about how he respects Cole but once they are in the ring all bets are off. Rhino and former ROH Champion Roderick Strong will face each other in two weeks to determine who the top contender will for Davey Richards title.

Steve Corino & Bobby Fish def. The Young Bucks w/Truth Martini by pin
The Young Bucks make their entrance acting like a couple of jackasses and really rile up the crowd. The Bucks start strong against the Gaijin Express with Corino having to tag in Fish after a couple of Jackson pin attempts. Fish falls victim to some excellent tag team work by the Bucks and actually kicks out of two straight More Bang For Your Bucks. Corino is back in and he isn't fooling around any more. Nick Jackson takes a couple of shots from a foreign object and Corino has him in trouble. 'The King of Old School' puts Nick away with an Old School Kick. Two straight wins by Corino and Fish against the Bucks have them lined up for a shot at the Briscoes' ROH Tag Team Championship.     

Next week: Adam Cole versus Michael Elgin for the ROH World Television Championship.

'The Prodigy' and the Generic Luchador put on a good match that saw neither man able to maintain a solid advantage until Generico strings together a series of moves outside of the ring.

Milwaukee WI

Mike Mondo def. BJ Whitmer by DQ
The returning veteran, Whitmer, received a 'Welcome Back' chant from the crowd. Mondo was not so hospitable as he put a beating on BJ. Whitmer had his go on offense a few times but never gained any real momentum. A lot of the match saw action outside of the ring with Mondo getting away with a couple of chair shots. At one point Mondo even superplexed BJ into the crowd from the timekeeper's table. The match ended when BJ used a chair himself and referee Paul Turner called for the disqualification. The crowd started chanting 'BULLS**T!'

Eddie Edwards def. ACH by pin
Edwards was in control most of the match. ACH made a good showing and strung together a few pin attempts but it wasn't enough to beat 'Die Hard'. Edwards put ACH's shoulders to the mat with a tiger suplex.

C & C Wrestle Factory & Jay Lethal def. The Young Bucks & Kyle O'Reilly w/ Truth Martini by pin
O'Reilly and Lethal started the match with Lethal taking charge. Once O'Reilly tags out, The Jacksons double team Lethal for a while. Coleman and Alexander soon get involved and have Matt in trouble. It's only a matter of time before Coleman pins him after a scissors kick. After the match, O'Reilly follows the Code of Honor but the Bucks don't and they seem disgusted with O'Reilly.

El Generico def. Shelton Benjamin by count out
Shelton overwhelmed Generico at the bell and it looked bad for the Generic Luchador. Generico does make a comeback and sets up Benjamin for a Brainbustaaahhh!!! but he fights it off. Generico doesn't give up and tries again, this time with devastating precision. The fans count along with the ref '1-2-...' but Shelton miraculously kicks out. Generico stays on his opponent who stumbles out of the ring. Generico soars over the top rope leveling Benjamin with a suicide dive. Shelton cannot beat the refs count and Generico is victorious.

Mike Bennett def. Adam Cole by pin
The Prodigy made short work of Cole who got no offense in. Bennett used a spear to get the win.

Barrister R.D. Evans comes to the ring and addresses the crowd: "At Best In the World, my man QT Marshall participated in a Proving Ground match with then Television Champion Adam Cole. Normally, Mr. Marshall would not be eligible for another Proving Ground match so soon, but my expert legal acumen found a loophole in ROH policy. Since Adam Cole is no longer champion, QT Marshall may enter the Proving Ground immediately."

PROVING GROUND MATCH
Michael Elgin def. QT Marshall by count out
Elgin crushed Marshall with his power moves. Continuous power bombs and lariats had Marshall repeatedly leaving the ring for refuge. Elgin had enough and chased Marshall down. Lifting his opponent into the air, Elgin launched Marshall into the fourth row with a running power bomb. Marshall was counted out of the ring as the crowd chanted 'Holy S**t!'.

ROH WORLD TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP
Jay & Mark Briscoe def. Steve Corino & Bobby Fish by pin
The match started with Corino and Jay going back and forth with no one getting the clear advantage. Bobby Fish is tagged in and the Briscoes double team him and take him out with the Doomsday Device. The Gaijin Express had a disappointing performance while the Briscoes looked unbeatable.

ROH WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP

Roderick Strong def. Davey Richards by pin
Strong entered this rematch with a vengeance. He destroys Richards with non-stop high impact moves. Richards hung in there but Roddy was determined to win the ROH title back and succeeded after a Gibson Driver. Richards fans are stunned while Strong's fans go crazy.

RING OF HONOR TELEVISION

2013 Season Episode 28

BJ Whitmer def. Mike Mondo by pin
This was a rematch from last week in Milwaukee where there was a controversial decision. Whitmer felt the referee made a bad call disqualifying him. This time out the referee again comes into play just a few minutes into the match.  Whitmer comes off the top rope and, as Mondo ducks, the ref is taken out. BJ checks on the ref, giving Mondo an opening to attack. Mondo is all over Whitmer and he tries a couple of pins but the ref is still down. About the same time the ref recovers, Whitmer comes back and gets the victory with a Wrist Clutch Exploder.

Steve Corino & Bobby Fish def. Caprice Coleman & Cedric Alexander by pin
Both teams make a good showing with the advantage changing a few times. The Gaijin Express come out on top after Fish escapes defeat and tags in Corino who hits Coleman with an Old School Suplex for the win.

Inside ROH: This week's report focuses on Roderick Strong regaining the ROH World Championship. There is also an announcement from matchmaker Nigel McGuinness that Rhino is suspended for 30 days for his deliberate Gore! against ROH official Todd Sinclair.

Shelton Benjamin def. Adam Cole by pin
This match was all Shelton Benjamin. Cole hung in there but Shelton was firing on all cylinders as he flung Cole all over the ring. After yet another turnbuckle powerbomb, Cole was done and Benjamin got the pin.

[aceldamas]

RING OF HONOR TELEVISION

2013 Season Episode 29

Roderick Strong def. ACH by submission
ACH tried to get the early jump on the ROH champion but Strong cut it short. Roddy threw everything in the book at ACH but his opponent maybe showed more heart than brains. The fans were totally behind the underdog but once the Strong Hold was applied, it was over.

Jay Lethal def. QT Marshall by pin
Lethal made quick work of "God's Gift" with a Lethal Injection. Marshall refuses the Code of Honor after his defeat.

Inside ROH: Death Before Dishonor XI will be on iPPV live from the Hammerstein Ballroom in New York City on September 28. The first match to be announced is Michael Elgin defending the ROH World Television Championship against Shelton Benjamin.

Mike Bennett def. Davey Richards by pin
Roderick Strong joins Kevin Kelly on commentary as this match will determine who he will defend the ROH World title against at DBD. Kevin asks Strong which opponent he would rather face. Roddy says Davey is predictable while Bennett lacks championship experience. He says he will be ready for whoever it is.
"The Prodigy" wastes no time bringing the hurt to Richards. He puts together a series of devastating moves and tries multiple pin attempts. As Bennett starts to get cocky, Davey turns it around on him and has the upstart in trouble. Bennett gets the advantage back after some battling at ringside and puts Richards away with a Photo Finish.
After the match, Bennett leans over the ropes near the announce position and mouths off to Roderick Strong. Roddy stands up, sets his belt on the table, and jumps in the ring. Bennett makes a hasty retreat while Maria runs interference. Roddy just smirks at her as she talks trash but slaps her on the bottom when she turns to leave. Bennett feigns like he's going to come back after Roddy but the champ stands in the center of the ring not budging. Bennett thinks twice and leaves with some coaxing from Brutal Bob.

Next week: Cedric Alexander vs. Bobby Fish vs. Matt Jackson, with the winner's team receiving a tag title shot at DBD.

Michael Elgin def. Rhett Titus by pin
The ROH Television Champion started this non-title bout with some strikes against Titus. He then gives Rhett a hard shove and yells at him to fight back. Titus responds and gives Elgin a run for his money. The match reaches a point where it seems Elgin is done playing around and he drops Titus with a Spinning Sit-Out Powerbomb.

Eddie Edwards def. Kyle O'Reilly by pin
O'Reilly had a good showing, dominating Edwards with his Muay Thai striking. With Eddie softened up, Kyle started working an ankle lock. Just as it looks like O'Reilly is on his way to a victory, 'Die Hard' catches him in a surprise cradle and gets the win. O'Reilly is disappointed but follows the Code of Honor. It should be noted that O'Reilly's manage, Truth Martini, was not at ringside for this match.

After the break, Kyle O'Reilly confronts Truth Martini about his absence during his match tonight.
Kyle: "Where were you tonight, Truth? Just hanging around back here with Matt Jackson?"
Truth: "Now, Kyle, you know that Matt has a big match tonight against Cedric Alexander and Bobby Fish. We have a lot of preparation to do if The Young Bucks are going to get that title match against the Briscoes at Death Before Dishonor. We're a team Kyle. We all have to work towards the common good. Congratulations on your win, by the way!"
Kyle: "I lost! No thanks to you."
Matt: "Big surprise there..."
Kyle: "What did you say?"
Truth: "Now, now fellas! We have to get to the ring Kyle. Keep up the good work."
They depart as a discontent O'Reilly glares after them.

TRIPLE THREAT MATCH
Bobby Fish def. Matt Jackson and Cedric Alexander by pin
Right away, Matt Jackson bails out of the ring to let Alexander and Fish go at it. Alexander opens up on Fish but Bobby turns it around and hurts Ced with some vicious kicks. Fish goes to the top rope and Jackson pushes him off and takes his place, hitting a Moonsault against Alexander. Fish breaks up the pin attempt and attacks Matt. Fish takes it to the Buck but misses a handspring elbow in the corner. Cedric gives Matt an enzugiri and follows up with a full nelson facebuster. Matt rolls out of the ring but Cedric levels him with a somersault dive to the floor. Truth tries to help Matt but Ced tosses him back into the ring and comes off the turnbuckle with a Sky Fall Frog Splash. He goes for the pin but Truth grabs the ref's leg. Ced goes up again and comes down with the same move but this time Fish breaks up the pin. Fish puts Cedric in the Fish Hook but Matt comes off the top with a Moonsault but Fish kicks out. A second Moonsault and still Matt cannot get the pin. A pair of leg drops from the top rope sees Matt firmly in control. He goes for an X-Factor but Fish instead backdrops him over the top rope and follows with Fish Out of Water. Truth tries sneaking up on Fish with The Book of Truth but Fish headbutts him, picks up the Book and clobbers Jackson with it. He rolls his stunned opponent into the ring and puts on the Fish Hook. Matt manages to reach the ropes to break the hold. As he gets up, he is hit by a Flying Fish Hook and Bobby covers him for the pin. The Gaijin Express will face the Briscoes at DBD for the tag team championship.

The Young Bucks w/Truth Martini def. The American Wolves by pin
The Wolves make the Bucks look bad at first but eventually Matt Jackson hits a pair of Moonsaults to pin Edwards.

ACH vs. QT Marshall DRAW
ACH was definitely in the driver's seat for most of this match. Marshall did get in some offense but his opponents quickness negated any small advantage he had. Time ran out before a winner could be determined.

Adam Cole comes to the ring for his scheduled match. As Bobby Cruz is about to announce his opponent, the lights go down. Then a familiar entrance theme starts and the New York crowd goes crazy as Homicide appears through the curtain.
Kevin Kelly: "That's Homicide! We haven't seen him in Ring of Honor for months. What's he doing here? Adam Cole was supposed to wrestle El Generico tonight."

Adam Cole def. Homoicide by DQ
Cole makes an excellent effort as he has Homicide on his heels. When the match leaves the ring, Homicide is on his home turf and he attacks Cole with a fork right in front of the referee. He is disqualified but backs off right away. The crowd is split. Some are booing this cold-hearted assault while others cheer Homicide on.

FIGHT WITHOUT HONOR
BJ Whitmer def. Mike Mondo by pin
Mondo sneak attacked Whitmer at the bell. After doing some damage in the ring, Mondo pulls BJ out of the ring and whips him into the barricade and then into the ringpost. With BJ down, Mondo sets up a table and ladder in the ring. Placing Whitmer on the table, Mondo climbs the ladder. He took too long and BJ rolls off the table as Mondo crashes down through it. BJ executes a Wrist Clutch Exploder for good measure and pins Mondo.

RING OF HONOR TELEVISION

2013 Season Episode 31

ACH def. Tadarius Thomas by pin
ACH had a relatively easy time defeating TD with a Big Bang Attack.

In the dressing room, Truth Martini is 'preparing' Kyle O'Reilly for his match tonight.
Truth: "You had a big win against Jay Lethal at Death Before Dishonor, Kyle. Our strategy worked perfectly!"
Kyle: "What strategy was that, Truth? You spent the whole week working with the Young Bucks."
Truth: "Never mind that. Tonight you're wrestling El Generico, so stick with the plan."
Kyle: "Aaand... what plan is that?"
Truth: "Use the same strategy we used to beat Lethal. Now get out there and win one for the HoT!"
Truth exits with a flourish, leaving O'Reilly with a disgusted look on his face.

El Generico def. Kyle O'Reilly by pin
O'Reilly came out strong but Generico adapted quickly and used a Brainbustaaahhh!!! to end it. O'Reilly lingers in the ring afterward, wondering where it went wrong. Of course, Truth Martini is nowhere to be seen.

Inside ROH: Kevin Kelly reviews the results from Death Before Dishonor XI last weekend, including Shelton Benjamin capturing the ROH World Television Championship from Michael Elgin.

After the break, Homicide comes to the ring and threatens Bobby Cruz for the microphone.  He talks about how the wrestlers in the early days of ROH were tougher. Guys like Low Ki, Samoa Joe, Dan Maff. Now ROH is nothing but pretty boys who are soft and have no heart. He says he's here to either get rid of these guys or make them tougher. He started with Adam Cole at Death Before Dishonor...
At this point Adam Cole's music starts and he comes to the ring with purpose. He tells Homicide that he's not going anywhere and that if he wants to try again, they can do it  right now. Homicide likes the idea and we have a match!

Adam Cole def. Homicide by DQ
Cole starts out aggressively with takedowns and dropkicks but misses one and Homicide pounces at the opportunity. He gives Cole a piledriver then pulls out his fork. Just like at Death Before Dishonor, he jabs Cole with it right in front of the referee. Naturally, he's disqualified. He rolls out of the ring laughing, then puts the fork in his mouth and flashes some gang signs to the camera.

Next week: The American Wolves vs. The Gaijin Express.
