Welcome to this week’s Ring Of Honor review, right here on Nerdly. I’m Nathan Favel and we have the Crockett Cup here to enjoy, so let’s see what happened this week.
Match #1: Shane Taylor defeated Luchasaurus The following is courtesy of rohwrestling.com:
Taylor hit a draping cutter off the top rope, but Luchasaurus answered with a Shining Lizard for a near fall. Taylor rocked Luchasaurus with a big clothesline for a near fall. Luchasaurus came back with a series of kicks to the head and a chokeslam. He went for a standing moonsault, but Taylor got his knees up. Taylor planted Luchasaurus with a Uranage. After landing a knee strike to the head of Luchasaurus, Taylor hit Greetings From 216 for the win.
My Opinion: 3 out of 5 – Overall, this was a good match that had some big shots thrown like the potential for Owen Hart to...

Welcome to this review of Ring Of Honor’s/New Japan Pro Wrestling’s G1 SuperCard, which emanated from Madison Square Garden in one of the great moments of wrestling history. I’m Nathan Favel and right here on Nerdly, we have one of the biggest events in wrestling history to discuss, so let’s do so.
Match #1: The 30-Man Honor Rambo: Winner – Kenny King
My Opinion: 3 out of 5 – This was less about great wrestling and more about big surprises. The action was of a certain quality, which should neither condone nor condemn the match itself. In what may have set the precedent for the card, the Japanese wrestlers were the best thing here. Overall, this match got the crowd excited, which is just fine.
Match #2: Ring Of Honor World Television Champion Jeff Cobb (New Champion) defeated (New Japan Pro Wrestling) International Wrestling Grand Prix Never Open-Weight Champion...

Welcome to this review of Ring Of Honor’s 17th Anniversary Pay Per View, right here on Nerdly. I’m Nathan Favel and this review is a week late, which is more than I can say for the new Hellboy movie, which looks terrible. This show doesn’t look bad at all, so let’s see if Roh’s 17th anniversary spectacular can deliver the goods.
Match #1: “The Villain” Marty Scurll defeated Kenny King The following is courtesy of rohwrestling.com:
Taking a page from Scurll’s playbook, King made his entrance with a “Villain” cosplayer in an attempt to get into his head. It didn’t work. Early in the match, Scurll took out the faux “Villain” with a swift kick to the head. King halted Scurll’s momentum with a Blockbuster for a near fall and a Blue Thunder Bomb for a near fall. Scurll hit a...

Welcome to this week’s Ring Of Honor review, right here on Nerdly. I’m Nathan Favel and we have lots of wrestling to get to, so let’s skip it this week and convene in a month. Goodbye.
Match #1: Villain Enterprises (Marty Scurll and Pco) defeated The Kingdom (Tk O’Ryan and Vinny Marseglia) The following is courtesy of rohwrestling.com:
The Kingdom gained an early advantage through their double-team moves until Scurll tagged in Pco, who ran wild on both O’Ryan and Marseglia. Scurll assisted Pco on a French Canadian Cannonball over the top rope onto The Kingdom on the floor. Back inside the ring, Scurll hit a superplex on Marseglia, and Pco followed with a frog splash for a near fall. The Kingdom eventually got back on track. O’Ryan hit a spinebuster on Scurll, and Marseglia followed with Redrum for a near fall. Marseglia...

Welcome to this week’s Ring of Honor television review, right here on Nerdly. I’m Nathan Favel and we have a lots of great action, with Martha Stewart destroying Cybil Shephard’s career and Edward Norton lamenting not having Bruce Willis’s bank account, as well a special message from Christopher Walken! Let’s jump into the Ring of Honor!
Match #1: Kushida beat Johnathan Gresham
This was as exciting an opening match as you’ll get in this day and age. These two were like watching a mirror clash with itself, as these two have an offensive strategy that is nearly identical. The wrestling here was very well paced and a stark contrast from a lot of what Ring of Honor usually books. The big surprise here is that a tremendous amount of the match is on the mat, with numerous holds flowing into great locks that helped set the right tone.

Welcome to this review of Ring of Honor’s Best in the World 2018 pay per view! I’m Nathan Favel and I say we don’t waste any time with pleasantries. Here comes the action!
Match #1: The Kingdom beat Los Ingornerbales de Japon – Ring of Honor Six-Man Titles Match
This was a solid opener with lots of action. Both teams looked good here, with Taven functioning very well as the leader of his team. Taven really has come a long way since he first arrived in Ring of Honor. Lidj is consistently entertaining and did not break that streak here. Taven got the pin off of Bushi for the win and the title retention.
Match #2: Flip Gordon versus Bully Ray
Ray disqualified himself after losing several attempts at finishing Gordon, who was ahouse of fire tonight. Several people, such as Eli Isom, Cheeseburger and Colt Cabana, who was on announcing duties tonight,...

Best in the World is the next pay-per-view from Ring of Honor, taking place at the Umbc Event Center in Catonsville, Maryland on June 29th 2018. The event marks the the ninth annual Roh Best in the World PPV and wrestlers from New Japan Pro-Wrestling (Njpw), and Japanese women’s promotion World Wonder Ring Stardom – with whom Roh has partnerships – will also appear on the card – with the pay per view airing this Friday, I thought I’d bring you my brief predictions of each match of the night:
1. Jay Lethal vs. Kushida
This is guilt-free wrestling. I bet this goes on first, just to give every-one a great fight to start the night. I can’t see this as being a failure. Prepare for fast action with lots of mat work in the match’s first act. I’m going with Lethal for the win to further the redemption angle...
