The show starts with a recap of last week, when Corino tried to console Steen. It didn't turn out the way he wanted, so he had to kick Steen out of S.C.U.M. instead.
S.C.U.M. vs ROH
Team S.C.U.M. has Jimmy Jacobs, Rhett Titus, and Cliff Compton.
Team ROH has BJ Whitmer, Caprice Coleman, and Cedric Alexander.
Corino is doing color commentary.
This match has started off slow. I would expect more from these participants.
Rhett gets a hunk of chain from Corino and uses it on BJ
Winner S.C.U.M. After the match C.C.U.M. continue to attack C&C and Whitmer until Lethal and Elgin come out for the save.
Jay Lethal vs Rhett Titus
Even though Titus just fought, he is now facing Lethal.
Poor Kevin Kelly is by himself again.
No matter where it happens, the crowd always seems to be hot for Lethal.
It is so disrespectful to the wrestlers, and to the fans watching on tv, for fans in attendance to ignore a match and chant just to hear themselves.
Winner Jay Lethal Lethal tell the crowd this is just the beginning of the end for S.C.U.M. He promises he will end S.C.U.M.
ROH World Championship Match Contract
Both Jay Bricsoe and Adam Cole sign the contract and then shake hands.
Then out comes Corino he has Matt Hardy and Rhyno with him.
He hates the idea of the Border Wars iPPV being the main evented by these two. He wants Rhyno and Hardy in the match.
Nigel say they can have that match... right now.
Rhyno and Matt Hardy vs Adam Cole and Jay Briscoe
Prince NaNa will be doing color commentary the whole show next week. There is no way I will miss that. You should be sure to check it out also even though it is Border Wars weekend. Prince NaNa!
This is a good match with great storytelling I won't spoil it. But it seems Cole and Briscoe don't get along too well
Adam Page and Mike Sydal vs ACH and Tadarius Thomas
I am impressed with Adam and Mike, Sydal is better than I gave him credit for.
I like ACH's cradle DDT, it is a very nice finisher.
Winners ACH and Tadarius Thomas
Mschif is getting interviews before her match. In comes Truth Martini with a Hoopla Hottie. He invites Mschif to be a Hoopla Hottie but she declines. The Hottie with Martini says that is good cuz Mschif isn't hot enough anyway. The truth tells her she is the mystery opponent in the $ way Women of Honor match coming up. The poor girl starts to cry to with Truth tastes her tears and say "Nothing turns me on like the tears of a woman". I am like What?!?!
Scarlett Bordeaux vs Cherry Bomb vs Athena vs MsChif
It seems Scarlett is a "student" of Truth Martini. she doesn't seem to be too interested in entering the match.
Athena is my favorite, after Mia Yim. I would love to see that match.
Athena Wins!
I didn't expect this I am excited. Now Veda wants to ask MsChif how it feels to not be undefeated anymore. MsChif doesn't take kindly to her questions and Spits green mist in Veda's eye like Great Muta. I knew MsChif has to be a heel! Poor Veda.
Pepper Parks vs Roderick Strong
Parks has some history in ROH, something to do with pigtails. I don't know.
These two are putting on a fun match. Parts is pretty good.
I wouldn't mind seeing Parks more. Good match
Winner Strong
World Tag Team Championship
reDRagon vs The Forever Hooligans
The American Wolves are ringside doing commentary.
This is a huge match up. This match should be awesome.
This show is worth it just so you can see the Forever Hooligans.
Supercard of Honor was every bit as good as I thought it would be. Not only was it the best, or maybe one of the best shows of the weekend, it was totally better than WrestleMania as I predicted. I hope you didn't miss it or let some technical difficulties take away from a great show.
ACH & Tadarius Thomas def. QT Marshall & RD Evans
This was a great opening match. RD Evans was the mystery partner. ACH and Tadarius have a bright future. But ACH is getting a lot of love from the ROH fans. I expect big things from these two in the future. I love how ROH keeps their tag division stocked up.
Mike Bennett def. Shelton Benjamin
While it would have been great for WGTT to collide, this was a good alternative. I missed seeing Bennett (well Maria). He was about to make an announcement as to what company he would be signing with. He is a free agent and WWE, TNA and ROH want his services. I hope he makes the right choice. It would also be nice if Shelton is full time ROH. I feel he could have a really nice singles career in ROH. It will also make him practice being on the Mic more.
Michael Elgin def. Jay Lethal
This was my early pick for match of the night, and it did not disappoint. Everyone know I am a Lethal guy, but even though I was disappointed with the result, I can't find fault in it. Elgin is a beast and He does deserve another chance at the most prized possession. This could have easily been a main event. This match is worth the price of admission alone.
SCUM def. Team ROH
This was a nice, chaotic match. Caleb goes at Corino hard on commentary. This must have ticked him off pretty bad. During the match Corino attacked Caleb and he would not be available for the rest of the PPV. Caleb took a hard bump and it lead to Nigel doing commentary with Kevin. That was a great move. The Main event really benefited from this.
Karl Anderson def. Roderick Strong
This was the first match of the second half. I fully expected Strong to win, but I expected wrong. I enjoyed this match as well. Hopefully The Machine Gun comes back to ROH soon. I am happy the ROH has been bringing in talent that most Americans don't get a chance to see.
TV Title: Matt Taven def. Adam Cole & Matt Hardy
Matt Hardy get a special intro from Corino. Matt Taven does seem to have a lot of charisma. I didn't think Cole would win the belt as I think he need to move toward the next stage of his ROH Career. I would like for him to be a World Champion before that chance is missed.
Tag Titles: reDRagon def. American Wolves
I enjoyed this match far more than I thought I would. Not that I thought I wouldn't enjoy it but it was awesome. I liked this more than Elgin vs Lethal and I loved that match. This feud is far from over in my opinion. Man I think reDRagon is going to be a great team for a long time. They will be major players.
World Title: Jay Briscoe def. Steen
I still have not seen the finish and I have tried multiple times. That still doesn't take away from my excitement for Jay. I wish they let us see the celebrate to their old music. But copyright fees are expensive. The crowd was hot, the ROH roster surrounding the ring made it feel urgent. I didn't think Jay would win. I hoped he would and I just wish the technical problems didn't tarnish what was a great show overall.
This was a great card. If you missed it, "Sorry about your damn luck". Ring of Honor is on a roll. I can't wait to see how the TV taping set up BorderWars.
Any long time Ring of Honor fan knows Jay Briscoe has been with ROH since day one. He has climbed up the ladder and proven to be one of the main guys on the roster. His Tag Team is the most successful one in the history of the promotion. You better believe Jay is not happy Steen came in after him and won the title before him. If you add to the fact that Steen was at one point leading the charge to destroy ROH. While he appears to be softening on that issue he is still a member of S.C.U.M. If you have never watched Ring of Honor and want a good show, this main event will show you what they are all about. I expect this to be a great match. Other than Undertaker vs Punk, this may be the best match of the Weekend.
ROH World Tag Team Championship
The whole reason for reDRagon being in existence, is to destroy Davey Richards. That is not to say reDRagon is a throw away tag team. since the formation of their group, they have put the whole division on notice. They are the tag champions. The American Wolves are one of the premier tag teams in ROH and seemed to be set to win the title in a tournament a few months back. Well S.C.U.M. was involved and things didn't work out. This is the Wolves chance to be back on top of the hill. If reDRagon can stop them, they will both gain respect and maybe lead to the end of their enemy, Davey Richards.
3 Way ROH World TV Championship
Matt Taven shocked Adam Cole, Matt Hardy, and all of ROH when he beat Cole for the TV Championship. The influence of Truth Martini on Taven is unmistakable. Not only with his recent career upswing, but with the way his personality seems to have changed. Maybe he was always this way and I didn't notice. One thing I know for sure, Matt Hardy really wants the TV title. He has won a championship every place he has been, and now that he is a major member of S.C.U.M. he will want some gold of his own. As for Adam Cole, you can't count him out either. He has future main event potential and I can see him winning the Championship back.
#1 Contenders Match
Jay Lethal came so close to defeating Steen. Maybe if S.C.U.M. hadn't gotten involved, he could have gotten the job done. That that is over. Lethal has to fight Elgin and the winner is the number 1 contender. Both men have tried in the past to dethrone Steen and failed. This is going to be one heck of a match. Lethal has an amazing winning percentage and Elgin appears to be just now coming into his prime and his upside is limitless. In my opinion, this match could steal the show. I am a huge Lethal fan, but Elgin is one of my guys also. I am torn, but this will be a top notch bout.
Special Challenge Match
Roderick Strong is on the outside looking in. He feels he should be in the title picture. The fact is he isn't. This is SuperCard of Honor VII, so why not bring in a top notch opponent from overseas. That leads us to "Machine Gun" Karl Anderson. He has made quite the name for himself in NJPW. I am very interested in seeing this match. Wath the video to get familiar with the Machine Gun.
Honor vs S.C.U.M. 10 Man War
BJ Whitmer, Mark Briscoe, Mike Mondo, Caprice Coleman, and Cedric Alexander form Team ROH. Jimmy Jacobs, Cliff Compton, Rhett Titus, Jimmy Rave, and Rhino form Team SCUM. This match is simple. ROH has been embarrassed by S.C.U.M. a lot in recent months. ROH needs to answer the call. A war can't be all one sided.
WGTT Explodes ? Tag Team Challenge Match
ACH and Tadarius are a new tag team. They were both in the recent prospect tournament. While they have different styles they are starting to form chemistry. These two will have to fight QT Marshall and a mystery partner.
This is going to be a great show. I am so excited I can't wait.
Jay Briscoe comes out before Steen has a chance to speak.
Steen wants to kill ROH, which is how Jay feeds his family. He isn't going to stand for that.
Before Steen replies, Corino comes out and to tell Jay he shouldn't even be out here.
Steen says he is proud to be ROH Champion, but he will be even prouder when he beats both Briscoe boys.
Corino keeps yapping, not realizing Steen is leaving. But S.C.U.M. members run in to save him from Jay Lethal.
C&C Wrestling Factory vs S.C.U.M.(Rhett Titus and Cliff Compton)
They wait until now to tell us the back story between Rhett and BJ Whitmer. It turns out that years ago Rhett thought his career was over and gave his boots to BJ. I guess he has been a mentor to him since. They might have said this before but I don't remember it. Their tag team made a lot more since than I knew.
Lots of S.C.U.M. interference in this one.
Winners S.C.U.M.(Rhett Titus and Cliff Compton)
After the match Mike Mondo comes out to save C&C and now his match is up next.
Mike Mondo vs Jimmy Jacobs
I like Mondo in the ring. It is good to see him back. I hope the time off has led to some character development.
Mondo still is creative. I like how he does different things and ring psychology.
If you know these two wrestlers you knew this would be a good match.
Winner Jimmy Jacobs
Inside S.C.U.M.
They give reasons why everyone joined S.C.U.M.
Steen isn't to pleased it seems with S.C.U.M.
Jay Lethal, BJ Whitmer, and Michael Elgin vs S.C.U.M (Rhyno, Steve Corino, and Matt Hardy)
Corino offers Lethal a S.C.U.M shirt, but he refuses.
S.C.U.M. handcuffs Lethal and Elgin so BJ is by himself.
Winner S.C.U.M.
After the main event a SuperCard of Honor promo is shown and I can't wait for this show. My Supercard of Honor Preview will be out in a few days so be on the lookout.
