Ring of Honor - 2024


Recommended Posts

Off the top of my head, I think Dustin Rhodes has the distinction of being the only wrestler to have been a part of WCW and ROH 6-man tag team champions, more than 30 years in between, no less.

Over/Under on how long until Sammy turns on Dustin?  I get that he's been gone for a bit, but he's so much better as a heel. I could see him turning on Dustin when their tag title challenge goes unsuccessful, and then him being the guy to take the strap off of Briscoe.

Stacked full two hour episode of Honor this week opening with Mark Briscoe defending the world title against Johnny TV in a solid match. Blake Christian vs. Lio Rush was good, lots of cool spots throughout.

Athena going in to a feud with Abadon should be fun. Had me wishing they'd add an additional Halloween Havoc-esque ppv in October with a double main event of Athena/Abadon and Mark/Mortos, since the next segment was Mark challenging the Beast Mortos which is setup for next week. Nice quick promo from Athena later on, laughed at referring to Melissa as "not Lexy". 

Always good to see Shibata in action. Harley Cameron looked good against Viva Van. Serpentico/Griff was a pretty great blowoff to their long feud/angle over the stolen mask. 

Anthony Henry & BEEF with a fun squash over Dante Leon & Vinne Massaro. BEEF was on fire.  Moriarty/Andretti was a quick pure match and Atlantis vs Robbie Eagles was a very solid TV title defense.

Six man titles main event ruled, love the chaotic ending brawl with all the run ins.

The smart thing to do would make this the final year of ROH. Merge all the titles. Keep the pure title and make it an AEW title. ROH adds nothing and has no value anymore. It's time to let it go and put it out to pasture.

It’s likely getting a TV spot. You’re setting yourself up for misery.

Johnny TV vs. Mark Briscoe was excellent tv wrestling. Well paced, built to a finish. Reminded me of a 1993 Raw main event, and I mean that as a compliment...

Fun opening 8 man tag coming off last week's chaotic ending, followed by a pretty good trios match with Cage of Agony over the masked babyface team. 

Abadon squashes Alejandra Lion in a minute.  MxM vs Pillars of Destiny was pretty fun with an amusing backstage segment setting it up. Solid setup for Angelico/Moriarty for the Pure title.

A bunch more squashes in between, Marina Shafir over Tiana James and Trish Adora over Erica Leigh were highlights. Lio Rush vs Tony Nese was a solid longer match.

Great main event from Mark Briscoe and the Beast Mortos of course. Lots of action with this week's episode going just over 2 hours

Nice opening proving grounds with Athena vs Aleah James. Liked Athena's triple powerbomb in to the finish. Good post-match feud continuation for Athena/Abadon. Billie laying out Abadon but Athena thinking it was Lexy was amusing. 

Sidney Akeem debuts in a fun little match against Johnny TV. a brief Murderhawk appearance in a squash.  Mina vs Rachael Ellering was good stuff with a post-match setup for Mina vs Taya and furthering Rachael/Harley backstage.

Tons of squashes follow from Top Flight, EJ Nduka, Evil Uno, Josh Woods, Leila Grey, & Blake Christian. Woods wins the quickest. Leila looked great in her match.

Ishii/Daivari was solid. I didn't expect Moriarty/Angelico to happen so soon after it was setup, but a very good Pure title main event.

Decent openers from Rocky Romero vs  Aaron Solo  and Big Shotty/Comoroto.  Gigi Rey looked good in brief squash loss to Rachael Ellering. 

Red Velvet vs Lady Frost was pretty good stuff. Nice quick squash from Diamante after, setting her up as Red's next challenger.

A mixture of stuff just kinda there in the middle. Griff Garrison vs Angelo Parker was short but solid as was Shibata vs Josh Woods.

Very good main event from Mina vs. Taya
