Next Samoa Joe ROH Match Annoucned

Yesterday ROH announced that Samoa Joe will face Kyle O’Reilly this weekend in Baltimore. Today they announced that Joe will face ACH on March 13th in Milwaukee…

Opinionated View- Boring. I don't get why ROH keeps pushing ACH as top guy. Ciampa, Elgin, Bennett, Lethal, Fish, Cole if he's healthy, Taven. Alexander, Sydal, Daniels, Kaz all of whom I would much rather see get a match with Joe.

 ROH announced that ACH will challenge ROH Champion Jay Briscoe in the main event of Glory By Honor. The show takes place November 15th in ACH’s hometown of San Antonio, TX.

Opinionated View- Awful main event. ACH isn't ready to be main event he should be going after the TV title. And Jay Briscoe sucks and he will always suck.

ROH News: Champions vs. All-Stars Attendance, Match Notes, and More

 The ROH Champions vs. All-Stars event reportedly had an attendance in the upper 500s to almost 600 people. It was ROH’s first event in Kalamazoo, Michigan.

- Tadarius Thomas faced a House of Truth Wrestling School graduate named Owen Travers.

- Christopher Daniels and Cedric Alexander reportedly had a great, “amazing” match. Daniels won with the Best Moonsault Ever. After the match, Daniels reportedly put over Alexander strong and was said to be very emotional.

- The main event reportedly went 45 minutes. The match reportedly put over Jay Briscoe as the ace and “true” top wrestler in ROH. The match also started the build of ACH as the next top guy in the company. Throughout the match the All-Stars were said to be encouraging ACH, including Briscoe.

Opinionated View- ROH bots love to rip TNA attendance yet they claim 500 people is packed. I'm sure Alexander and Daniels had a good match but ROH fans always over state everything they never just have good event its always amazing a classic best show ever blah blah blah. A 45 minute man event? Why oh yeah because ROH always books main events to go super long for no reason. I like ACH but's not ready to be next top guy her are other guys that would be better picks. If Jay Briscos is your ace than you either have an awful roster or are stupid.

When he heard that the title was going to be handed to him, he told Nigel that there was a better way. Nigel put 16 of the best wrestlers in the world in a tournament for the right to call themselves Ring of Honor World Champion.

That is him and 15 other guys. The other 15 have to look into his eyes. They need to know that what he is saying is the absolute truth. He doesn’t have to worry about them, they have to worry about him.

If you say you are not worrying about anyone in the tournament, you are lying. Steen says that Michael is worried about the one person he cannot beat and that is him.

Michael says that Kevin is right that he beat him, but that was ten months ago. It took a package piledriver from the top rope. Michael tells Kevin that he is making a promise that it won’t happen again.

Kevin asks Michael if he is sure about that and he tells Michael to try him.

Michael Bennett and Maria Kanellis come out and Kevin introduces them as “Maria and Someone Else”.

Michael calls Kevin witty. He says that we have a collection of talent in the ring. People see pure talent in the ring. Bennett says that he sees two guys who have been opportunity after opportunity. He sees two guys who have been given main event after main event. He sees the past of Ring of Honor.

While those two have been given main events and opportunities, Michael says that he was being told ‘not right now’, or ‘wait another week’, or ‘you aren’t getting a chance because you are leaving Ring of Honor’. Bennett says that Mike Bennett is leaving Ring of Honor, but Michael Bennett is staying.

Tommaso Ciampa’s music plays and he makes his way to the ring. He takes Bennett’s mic and he gets in everyone’s face and then he says that your next Ring of Honor Champion is the Sicilian Psychopath. Ciampa leaves the ring.
