Ring of Honor.... my way

[nWo]

Hi guys and welcome to my Ring of Honor fed! I have been a huge fan of Ring of Honor since it started. I have had a blast with the ROH cards (and now on-line game), so it's time to re-start my ROH fed and post it here for everyone here to see. Sadly, with the passing of Jay Briscoe, I have been in a funk... just not feeling like playing. So, I decided to do something different. I took the real life ROH rosters from 2002 through 2006 and decided to use the wrestlers I have to start the fed. As the years go by, I will add wrestlers as I see fit. I reserve the right to use the best cards possible to keep the matches competitive. Here is my starting roster:

AJ Styles, Brian Kendrick, Brian Danielson, Homicide, Jay Briscoe, Mark Briscoe, Paul London, Steve Corino, Chris Sabin, Jay Lethan, Jimmy Jacobs, Roderick Strong, Austin Aries, Delirious, Matt Sydal, Claudio Castagnoli, El Generico, Kevin Steen, Chris Hero, Caprice Coleman, Davey Richards and Eddie Edwards.

This gives me 22 wrestlers, including 5 dedicated tag teams: The Briscoe Brothers, King of Wrestling, American Wolves, Hooligans and Steen & Generico. 

This fed is a labor of love for me. I hope you enjoy...

Card 1 – The Era of Honor Begins

Kevin Steen & El Generico def. Hooligans with a sharpshooter. This was a wild match which saw London and Kendrick take over early and isolate El Generico. With the match slipping away, Steen pulled the referee out of the ring to break the pin count. That allowed El Generico to make the tag to Steen who locked the sharpshooter onto Kendrick for the win!

Davey Richards def, Jimmy Jacobs with his ANKLE LOCK! This was a tough match, which saw both Richards and Jacobs get their offense in. As the match went longer, Richards wore down Jacobs with his Cloverleaf submission before turning it into the ANKLE LOCK. After the match, both men shook hands.

Chris Sabin def. Delirious with his CRADLE SHOCK! Delirious dominated much of this match by hitting high impact moves and keeping the quicker Sabin grounded. The momentum shifted as the fight spilled onto the floor. Sabin somehow took control, tossed Delirious in the ring and hit his CRADLE SHOCK for the win. A solid win for Sabin.

Homicide def. AJ Styles by DQ after a wild brawl outside the ring! This match was hardly under way when the two wrestlers went to the floor. Both men battered each other while the referee struggled to maintain order. Finally, AJ Styles snapped and crushed Homicide with a brutal chair shot. The referee called for the bell and a dazed Homicide was declared the winner by DQ. Something tells me this isn't over.

The Briscoes def The Kings of Wrestling with a JAY DRILLER to become the NEW Ring of Honor Tag Team Champions! This match saw The Briscoes use fast tags to isolate Claudio Castagnoli, who never made a tag! Chris Hero only entered the ring to break up two pin attempts. In the end, Jay Briscoe hit his JAY DRILLER and the referee counted 1, 2.... 3. The Briscoes attempted to celebrate, but the celebration was cut short as Hero attacked the Briscoes from behind. The Kings of Wrestling then began a beat-down of the newly crowned champs. Referees from the back had to restore order!

Roderick Strong def. Matt Sydal with his SIDE KICK! This was a quick match as Sydal went for a shoulder tackle in the corner but missed. As Sydal climbed into the ring, Strong hit his devastating SIDE KICK and got a quick three count.

In the Main Event, for the Ring of Honor World Heavyweight Championship,

Bryan Danielson def. Austin Aries two falls to one. In the first fall, Austin Aries pinned Bryan Danielson after a BRAINBUSTER. In the second fall, Danielson pinned Aries after a REGALPLEX. In the third and deciding fall, with both men utterly spent, Bryan Danielson punished Austin Aries with a series of roundhouse kicks, the last of which knocked Aries out cold. Bryan was declared the new champion, but instead of celebrating, he checked to see if Aries was alright. When Aries got to his feet, the two rivals hugged, and Aries raised Danielson's arm. This was an incredible match and an amazing start to this new promotion!

AJ getting disqualified against Homicide? Against HOMICIDE? Oh, snap! There's a rematch just waiting to happen... Can't wait!

Really like the roster that you've got in play here, my friend... Tons of crazy potential!

Yeah, not really sure what happened between Homicide and Styles. Maybe Homicide stole all the forks from catering earlier in the day?   There will be a rematch, I promise you. 

I like the roster too. Found a site which shows ROH (and other promotions) rosters by year. These are the cards I have from those rosters from 2002 through 2006. I have bootlegs for Samoa Joe and CM Punk, but I'm not big on using bootlegs. I will add guys from 2007 after the first year is done, and so on. Should keep it interesting.

Card 2 - TV Taping
Show Opening: Brian Danielson is being interviewed at ringside. He states... “I am so proud to be the very first Ring of Honor World Champion. I've worked hard for this. I've sacrificed so much. I promise, I won't let the fans down. I'm gonna be a fighting champion. That's what the American Dragon is all about!” The fans cheered as Danielson made his way to the back.

Caprice Coleman def. Jay Lethan with the Thermal Shock. This was an upset and the crowd was pumped for Coleman.

The American Wolves def. Steen & El Generico with a missle dropkick. Steen & El Generico looked out of sync as Edwards and Richards dominated this match. A solid win.

AJ Styles is being interviewed at ringside. He's talking about Homicide... “I lost my cool at The Era of Honor Begins. I embarrassed myself. Tonight, I get a rematch tonight. Homicide... I hope you're ready.”

Chris Sabin def. Steve Corino with his HAIL SABIN! Corino looked slow compared to Sabin, who out-wrestled the veteran.

The Kings of Wrestling are being interviewed at ringside... “Me and Claudio did what we do. We beat your asses! Sure we lost the match, but “Dem Boys” got busted up. Oh... we're coming for OUR belts boys.”

In the Main Event, AJ Styles def. Homicide with the STYLES CLASH! After the match was over, Delirious hit the ring and he and Homicide attacked Styles! ROH officials and security quickly separated the men. Damn. 

[Pariah]

Very pleased that AJ was able to get his win back... And I'm stoked for the inevitable return match between the Kings and Dem Boys... With the gold on the line, no less... Superb!

Card 3 – TV Taping

Show Opening: AJ Styles is at ringside and angry. He challenges Homicide and Delirious to a tag match later this evening. “Homicide... you and Delirious have a tag team match tonight with me and my mystery partner. Jump me from behind? You boys don't know what you started.”

El Generico def. Austin Aries with an exploder suplex into the turnbuckle. This was a close match which saw the "Generic Luchador" shock the top contending Aries. This really shakes up the rankings!

Chris Hero def. Jay Briscoe with his LOADED ROLLING ELBOW! The referee missed Hero loading up his elbow pad and knocking out the older Briscoe brother. As Mark Briscoe attended to Jay, The Kings of Wrestling celebrated.

The Kings of Wrestling are being interviewed after the match. Briscoe is still down... “ I told you redneck, this is what happens. Those belts are as good as ours right now!” The interviewer mentions Hero “loading up” his elbow pad... “You're seeing things man. I don't have to cheat to beat a Briscoe... must be the lighting.”

Homicide & Delirious def. Styles & Sydal by DQ after a wild brawl. Sydal was disqualified as the referee couldn't get this match under control. Both teams had to be separated after the match. This is getting ugly folks.

In a Non-Title Main Event, ROH Heavyweight Champion Bryan Danielson def. Caprice Coleman with his CROSSFACE CHICKENWING! Coleman was easily outclassed and barely got in any offense. Danielson hit a number of devastating suplexes before getting Coleman to tap out.

[Pariah]

We need a Fight Without Honor to settle things between Styles and that Homicide/Delirious combo... And I don't know about the lighting, but the Kings are certainly finding an abundance of ways to anger Dem Boys... Will psychological warfare help Hero & Claudio capture the tag belts? Fun times!

ROH 4 – House Show

Steve Corino def. Austin Aries by DQ. Aries, who's 3 match losing streak seems to be getting to him, snapped and attacked Corino outside the ring. After multiple chair shots, Aries was disqualified. A dejected Aries tossed the chair aside and stormed to the back. Man, he isn't happy.

AJ Styles def. Delirious with his STYLES CLASH! While Delirious was down, Styles continued the attack. Both Homicide and Matt Sydal hit the ring and a wild brawl broke out. ROH official have had enough! Suspensions and fines are coming for all four men.

American Wolves def. The Kings of Wrestling with an ANKLE LOCK! This was a fairly even match until The Briscoes showed up on the ramp. The distraction was enough to allow Davey Richards to lock in the ANKLE LOCK on Chris Hero, who promply tapped out. The Briscoes laughed as they headed to the back.

Roderick Strong def. Kevin Steen with his STRONG HOLD! Steen was busted open in this match. In the best match of the night (so far), Steen and Strong matched each other move for move. Finally, Strong got the upper hand after busting Steen wide open.  A really solid wi for Strong!

The Briscoes def. Hooligans (non-title) with the CUT-THROAT DRIVER. The Briscoes were in control from the opening bell. The Kings of Wrestling attempted to get to ringside, but were stopped by security. It din't matter, as Mark hit his devastating finisher for the win.

In the Main Event, Jay Lethal def. Chris Sabin with his LETHAL INJECTION! This was a tough match which saw both men have their opportunities. In the end, Lethal was too much for Sabin.

*** PROMOTER'S NOTES***
AJ Styles, Matt Sydal and Homicide have been sent home, without pay, for the next 3 cards. Delirious suffered an injury that keep him out for the next 4 cards. Looks like this feud will be settled at Supercard of Honor in a month's time. AJ Styles will face Homicide in a brutal steel cage match, while Matt Sydal will face Delirious in a Fight Without Honor match! More Supercard of Honor matches to follow. 

[Pariah]

A truly exceptional house show, my friend... Dem Boys costing their rivals, the Kings, a big match against the Wolves and then going onto defeat the Hooligans... Strong makes the Nightmare bleed... And Lethal puts down Sabin in the main event.

P1 gets ready to step into the cage with the 187... PHENOMENAL!
