Welcome one and all to Pwinsider.com’s coverage of Ring of Honor’s Supercard of Honor. Ian Riccobani and Caprice Coleman have the call of the action. This is zero hour.
Josh Woods, Ari Daivari & Tony Nese w/Mark Sterling vs Adam Priest, Tony Deppen and Rhett Titus
Great seeing Rhett Titus here, as well as Josh Woods, 2 guys who I feel belong in any iteration of Ring of Honor. Titus and Woods put on a clinic to start this match. Admittedly I’m unfamiliar with Priest. Deppen and Nese go at it and here comes Daivari. In comes Priest. Curious to see what he can do.
During this match, Ian and Caprice run down the main card. Rhett tagged in and he and Woods are having a belly to belly exchange. Priest and Woods with an exchange. Great triple team suplex/double fistdrop combination wins it for the Premier Atheletes.
WINNERS JOSH WOODS, ARI DAIVARI & TONY NESE
We see a video package on Dalton Castle and Johnny TV. We have a Fight Without Honor later tonight. We then see a package reviewing the ROH Women’s TV Title Tournament.
The Beast Mortos vs Blake Christian
I have to admit, The Beast Mortos is a great name. Ian puts over how successful Blake has been as of late.
THE GREAT VLADIMIR IS HERE TONIGHT!!!!!
This, so far, is exactly the kind of match this crowd wants. They’re here for the festivities and action. This one is delivering thus far. Mortos with a big bearhug and a pounce for 2. Blake nails a nice swinging DDT and a spear on the apron. Ian and Caprice make this so much better. Mortis nails what I can only call a snap Samoan Drop for 2. Mortos caught Christian’s moonsault but Blake nailed a swinging DDT. Mortos hits what can best be described as a pump handle piledriver for the pin
WINNER THE BEAST MORTOS
Komander and Alex Abrahantes come out and look at Mortos
We see highlights of the Infantry as well as Lee Johnson.
Angelico & Serpentico vs. Griff Garrison & Cole Karter w/Maria Kanellis
Am I the only one wondering why Maria ISN’T with the Undisputed Kingdom. As MAria parades Serpentico’s mask, Karter and Garrison attack at the bell. Doesn’t take long for the Spanish Announce Project to turn the tide. Didn’t Karter once join a heel faction in AEW? Karter with a uranage for 2 on Serpentico. Angelico cleans house after a hot tag. Maria introduces a chair to the proceedings and gets ejected from referee Mike Posey. Garrison sweeps Angelico’s leg out on the ramp. Garrison actually pulls off Serpentico’s mask, allowing for a rollup by Karter for the pin.
WINNERS COLE KARTER & GRIFF GARRISON
Mariah May vs Momo Kohgo
Kohgo is a stardom star from what Ian tells us. I can’t help but think in the old ROH, Kohgo would be massively over while MAy would get booed out of the building. Philly seems very appreciative having both these women competing tonight. Hard, and I mean HARD dropkick by May. May has a ton of presence.
As Honor Club boots back up MAy and Kohgo have a hard forearm exchange. Big headbutt by May followed by a huge running knee for the pin.
WINNER MARIAH MAY
