RING OF HONOR TV REPORT

Quinn McKay welcomes one and all to the Final Battle Weekend edition of ROH TV.

We kicks things off with introductory videos on former ROH World Champion Dalton Castle and The Mecca Brian Johnson. Castle is evolving the character, retaining his cockiness but adding an element of real life toughness.  Castle points out that with PJ Black injured, Johnson has been out of control with the disrespect.  As if to prove his point, Johnson immediately talks about ROH adding old matches to Honor Club and their Website, calling the OG stars "bozos" and "fossils".  Johnson is really coming into his own as a personality.

Ian Riccaboni and Caprice Coleman have the call on tonight's show.

Quinn McKay with a post match interview with Dalton Castle.  McKay is showing a lot more excitement in her character.  Can't wait until they set her loose as I maintain there is a seriously major heel somewhere in that woman's arsenal.  

We get comments from LSG and Kenny King.  They square off as a YouTube and Honor Club exclusive.

Rhett Titus and Delirious give us some pre match comments before their Pure Match (at least I think Delirious gave us comments).
