NBIceman 05/06/19 7:37:08 PM #335: | Allow me to take you back in time a bit. To an era of dimly lit arenas, where the lines for the DVD table put Bullet Club meet-and-greets to shame, where pre-match handshakes were often as tense as nearfalls, where fans greeted each other by name and crowded around each other to slap the ringside barricade and politely inform Bryan Danielson's opponents what he was going to do to their heads. That era couldn't last, and perhaps was never meant to. To some, it's an ideal that can never be replicated. To others, a complete unknown. But the spirit never left. That spirit leaves... a legacy. So please join us, for a night that's as much about celebrating what was as it is about looking forward to what will be. Live from Madison Square Garden, ROH presents Legacy of Honor. Your commentary team tonight will be Lenny Leonard and Dave Prazak (because Nigel McGuinness missed his flight), assisted by ring announcer Angelo Trinidad, with a special National Anthem performance by Kesha (I let a friend of mine decide that one and I think he wanted to screw with me.) Match #1 - Ladder Match for the vacant ROH TV Title AR Fox vs "Speedball" Mike Bailey vs Paul London vs Jack Evans In what is unofficially and affectionately being called a "Please Don't Die" match, two high flyers from the very early days of Ring of Honor will return to the company and take on not only each other, but two total newcomers who rival them in both athletic prowess and lack of regard for their own well-being. Match #2 - Number One Contender's Match for the Women of Honor Title Madison Eagles vs Kylie Rae Before Ronda Rousey or Becky Lynch, and before Stephanie McMahon pretended to care, the women's revolution (as far as North America was concerned) was centered in a little promotion called SHIMMER, led by Aussie specimen Madison Eagles. It's never been a better time to be a woman in wrestling, and Kylie Rae will have to go through one of the modern stalwarts to prove she isreally special. Match #3 Tyler Black vs Johnny Gargano The artist (or architect?) formerly known as Seth Rollins returns to the place that made him who he is today to take on one of the best wrestlers in the world, who somehow never made it here before. Match #4 - ROH Tag Team Titles Matt and Nick Jackson (C) vs Adam Cole and Kyle O'Reilly Though they debuted in ROH as Future Shock, Cole and O'Reilly are much more the present now, and there's nothing shocking about how quickly they rose up the ranks in pro wrestling. Across the ring from them is the team many consider the best of the last decade, a couple of Bucks who may not be as young as they once were, but you wouldn't know it by the way they work. How about a classic ROH tag match for the middle of the card here, huh? Match #5 Kota Ibushi vs Ricochet https://imgur.com/tMIumEV Match #6 - 6-Man Tag CIMA, Masato Yoshino, and Naruki Doi vs Shun Skywalker, Takehiro Yamamura, and Kaito Ishida 13 years ago at Supercard of Honor, 6 men from Dragon Gate came to ROH and put on a match unlike anything that had ever been seen in America before. Speed. Innovation. Flow. It's a match forever in the history books as one of ROH's best ever. Tonight, the three men on the losing end of that match reunite to Open the Nostalgic Gate and avenge that ill-fated contest, and on the other side stand three of the fastest rising stars not just in the Dragon Gate system, but in all of Japan. Hope you've caught your breath from the last match, because there won't be a moment of rest in this one. --- https://imgur.com/UYamul2 Spurs - Yankees - Eagles - Golden Knights ...
