OGK VS. THE FOUNDATION AND MORE: RING OF HONOR TV REPORT

 

Quinn McKay welcomes us after her absence.  She hints to our audience that while her match with Angelina Love may have been her 1st, it will not be her last.

Matt Taven has been attacked in the locker room.  Oddly, there seems to be broken glass strewn about.

Ian Riccaboni, Caprice Coleman and The World Famous CB have the call for our first match.

Pure Rules: Fred Yehi vs. Rocky Romero

Pure rules code of honor adhered to.  Rocky trese for some leg kicks but Yehi grabs a front facelock into a waitstlock.  Rocky troes to sweep the leg but struggles.  He makes it but can't apply a deathlock.  Yehi with a neck wrench and punches the knee as we go to commercial.

We're back and Rocky applies a headlock.  Yehi tries to throw him off but Rocky hold on to the headlock position.  A second attempt yields results as Yehi scores with a shoulderblock.  Romero get a headlock and Yehi gets out of it with a chop.  Back elbow by Yehi, he gets a headscissors, Romero kicks out at the 5 minute mark.

WINNER: Fred Yehi

Post match Code of Honor adhered to.

Matt Taven is getting his ankle taped up.  He vows to go ahead with tonight's main event.

Ric Flair's Car Shield will never get old with me.

Here comes The Mercenary Flip Gordon.  We see highlights of he and EC3's win over the Briscoes at 19th Anniversary.  Gordon wants Rush.  He does have a title shot in hand and calls out the champion.  EC3 comes out.  He gets face to face and merely says "you have been warned" and walks off.  

The Foundation is in the back.  They lament Taven's injury.  The Foundation offered to move the match but Taven has refused.
