RING OF HONOR TELEVISION REPORT: CAN A TAG MATCH HAVE THREE MEN ON A TEAM?, IF AT FIRST YOU CAN'T HAVE A MATCH WITHOUT INTERFERENCE . . . REUNITE THE TAG TEAM, AND MORE

By Richard Trionfo on 2015-08-02 15:00:12
We begin with Roderick Strong in a locker room. He mentions that him and Jay Lethal went an hour at Death Before Dishonor. Both of us had something to prove. You were going to prove that you are going to be the greatest champion in Ring of Honor history. Roderick was to prove he is a champion. Nothing was settled. We went for sixty minutes and you couldn’t beat me. You know deep down inside that if time did not run out, I would have beaten you. Roderick tells Nigel that it is obvious that the next time that Jay Lethal defends the World Title, he does it in a rematch against him.

He has never gone into a match before with so many questions about who he is and what he stands for in Ring of Honor. How do you feel post-surgery? What is your state of mind? A few weeks ago after a six man tag, when he shook Kyle O’Reilly’s hand and there has been ‘dissention’ in the Kingdom, the question has been, ‘Have you left the Kingdom’. Adam says there is no dissention between him and The Kingdom. His friendship with Kyle has nothing to do with that.

Adam says that the first person to call him when he was out with his injury was Kyle. When Kyle got married, on the happiest day of his life, who stood beside him? It was him. They broke into Ring of Honor together as Future Shock. They were one of the best tag teams. They went to war in New York and they bled buckets in the ring, they did it together. They have a mutual respect for each other.

When we find out who is the best again, we will walk into the ring with respect and admiration. They will leave the ring with respect and admiration.
