We start off with a look back at Matt Taven winning the Ring of Honor World Championship at Madison Square Garden.
We are in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and your announcers are Ian Riccaboni and Caprice Coleman.
Ring of Honor World Champion Matt Taven makes his way to the ring.
Taven says he earned this, as he holds the title over his head. He says he does deserve this. Matt says if you look at the past year through unbiased eyes, there is no one more worthy to be called World Champion than Matt Taven. Matt says if you went to your job at McDonald’s and for the past year, you weren’t appreciated. Dalton Castle ducked him and then they won the six man tag titles. He went to Mexico and became the first American to win the NWA Middleweight Championship. He came back and pinned the World Champion in the middle of the ring. He was the first foreigner to headline the anniversary show. He main evented Korauken Hall and Vegas. He had a 60 minute match where he should have been the champion. Pulling down this title in MSG means the memory of Matt Taven will live on forever.
As the year went by, the odds of Taven winning the Title went sky high, as can be seen on a review of William Hill. Taven secured the gold earlie this month at MSG.
Matt says he is the only man who can say he is the undisputed Ring of Honor World Champion. From here on out, if you want a shot at the most prestigous title, you will have to do what Matt Taven did, and that is earn it.
Flip Gordon makes his way to the ring.
He says he heard someone wants to earn their opportunity. Flip says he earned that opportunity when he won the Sea of Honor Tournament.
Matt says there is a big difference between winning a tournament on a cruise when everyone is busy at the bar than winning at Madison Square Garden.
Flip says he talked to ROH officials and he told them his knee is 100 percent. Flip says that is the number one contender for the Ring of Honor Championship. That means his knee is going to kick 100 percent of your ass.
