So October 15/16 version of Ring of Honor began with video packages from the Briscos who said that they have been in ROH since its beginning 9 years ago and they also said if another team wants their respect they will have to beat them up to get it and that it is only amount of time before they are the Tag Team Champions again. The second video package was for the allnight express which is made up of Rhett Titus and Kenny King and Rhett Titus talked about how the Briscos last time they were in the ring together that they gave him a scare over his right eyebrow that will never heal and that in their next match he is going to scare up the Briscos.
This lead into the No.1 contender match between the allnight express and the Briscos and while the allnight express came down to the ring Kevin Kelly mentioned that Rhett Titus has a damaged eardrum that will need surgery but is putting it off while they try and get a shot at the World Tag Team tittles. The end of the match came when Kenny King was low blowed by the Briscos who picked up the win but after the match they made it very clear that low blows are illegal and if ref Todd Sinclair had seen it he would of reversed the call as Rhett Titus was explaining what had happened and Sinclair went to the Briscos and asked them if they had indeed low blowed Kenny and they said no. Rhett Titus attacked both Briscos in frustration while Kenny was still selling the low blow so all the refs and agents came out from the back to separate Rhatt Titus from the Briscos.
In the second half of the show started with video packages on Truth Martini and his stable of Roderick Strong who had not won the world tittle on numerous occasions before meet up with Truth and after meeting him within 6 month he was world champ and the other member of the stable was Strong's muscle Michael Elgin who would make to keep Eddie Edwards out of the tittle picture so Strong could have another crack at Davey Richards and the ROH tittle. The package also focused on Eddie Edwards and Davey Richards friendship and how Edwards has beaten Richards on a number of occasions for tittles and Richards wanted nothing more than to have another match against Edwards to show that he really deserves being called ROH heavy weight champion.
Which lead into a match between Michael Elgin and Eddy Edwards and while Edwards was on his way to the ring Kevin Kelly mentioned that he was a ROH triple crown winner(tag tittle, TV tittle, and world tittle) and he had done it in all in two years with ROH. The match consisted of Edwards given Elgin huge moves but he would fight them off and it lead to a spot outside of the ring where Edwards gave Elgin two shots to daze him before flying through the ropes and broke the barocade around the ring. The match ended with Edwards finally getting the diehard of Elgin which is superplex for the win and Edwards just lied on the mat exhausted and when he used the ropes to get back to his feet both Strong and Elgin where behind him along with Truth and that is when Nigel McGuinness took his headset off and got into the ring to even the numbers and Truth kept his stable back from Edwards and Nigel McGuinness as the show went off the air.
So it is looking like Nigel McGuinness and former world champ himself may step back in the ring with Elgin and Strong and team up with Edwards in an upcoming edition of ROH on national TV and ROH continues to show how great stories and great wrestling makes great programming. TNA looks to have taken notice by given the booking book to Bruce Prichards better known as Brother Love in the hay day of the WWF to run their 2 hour programming a week instead Vince Russo so to not allow ROH better them in the ratings war with their one hour programming a week.
So it looks like another home run by ROH who could soon get more ippv buys than TNA has as TNA has there Wrestlemania moment and are looking to better their high in PPV buys which is like 30 to 35 thousand as they have Hogan and Sting go at it in a match that will only be described as a train wreck.
ROH is the best
