RING OF HONOR WRESTLING PRESENTS: November 13: Danielson-Nakamura II New Orleans, LA
Segment 1: We open our show to commentary from Dave Prazak and Kevin Kelly running us down the card for tonight's card. This is the last stop for "Final Battle" - the biggest ROH PPV of the year. --- Match 1: Tag Team Match: The Dragon Dojo (Adam Cole and Kyle O'Reilly) vs. The Monster Mafia (Ethan Page and Josh Alexander) The newly formed team of Cole and O'Reilly put on an impressive showing as they have recently been taken under the wing of the American Dragon Bryan Danielson. The Mafia put on a lot of damage and a good showing as well. The match comes to a finish after O'Reilly locks in the clover leaf on Page. Alexander looks to break up the submission but Cole hits him with a running knee to the face to knock him out cold and rolling out to the ring as Page taps. Winners: The Dragon Dojo via submission at 15 minutes --- Segment 2: Cole and O'Reilly celebrate in the ring, their soft rivalry between the two seems to have come to a halt as they seem to realize they may be able to put together some magic as a team as the crowd goes wild for the two rookies. --- Segment 3: We get a backstage promo by The American Wolves, Davey Richards and Eddie Edwards who say they just got word of their booked match for Final Battle and they're beyond ecstatic for what is shaping up to be the biggest card in ROH history. The Wolves break the news that they will be in a 4 way tag team match, with the winning team receiving a tag team title shot. It will be The American Wolves against Jon Moxley and Sami Callihan representing SCUM, Charlie Haas and Shelton Benjamin aka the World's Greatest Tag Team and their long time rivals Erick Stevens and Bobby Fish, the Sandpaper Bastards. They hype themselves up and say they look forward to seeing everyone in New York for the big night. --- Match 2: Singles Match: Christopher Daniels vs. Johnny Gargano (w/ Chuck Taylor) Daniels and Gargano put on an excellent match with one another with the crowd clearly digging more and more into their hatred for Christopher Daniels as he plays up his villainess antics and constantly is overly cocky and taunting the young Gargano. Daniels finally hits the BME onto Gargano for a win. Winner: Christopher Daniels via pinfall at 12 minutes. --- Segment 4: After the match, we get a disgruntled promo from Christopher Daniels who buries the entire crowd and his opponent he just defeated. He says that after hearing how the crowd reacted to him getting one of the biggest wins of his careers at their last show when he beat both Danielson and Low Ki made him realize how fickle the ROH fanbase is and he will not stand for it anymore. He says that it's an insult that he's yet to have a match confirmed for Final Battle. Chuck Taylor steps into the ring looking ready for a fight as the crowd cheers for Taylor, he runs at Daniels, Daniels ducks and then pokes Taylor in the eyes and hits him with the Angels Wings to the crowd boos. He buries Chuck Taylor for attempting to try that just like his partner, they are both not on his level. Jeff Hardy makes his way out with loud cheers and says that Daniels is exactly the type of guy that Hardy has been accused of being all year. He says that because Daniels got a little bit of TV time down in Orlando he thinks he's someone special here in the thriving ROH. Hardy says that he coincidentally also doesn't have a match for Final Battle yet but he wants to change that and challenges Daniels to a singles match at Final Battle which Daniels accepts as Hardy's theme plays and he heads around high fiving every single person in the front row as he and Daniels lock eyes, Hardy assists Gargano and Taylor to the back. --- Match 3: Singles Match: Eddie Kingston vs. Hernandez (w/ Homicide) Kingston beats down Hernandez with a bit of ease as Kingston taunts Homicide as he sits at the outside. Kingston hits a big BLKOUT Lariat onto Hernandez to get the win. Winner via pinfall: Eddie Kingston at 7 Minutes --- Segment 5: The crowd boos as Kingston celebrates his win as Homicide helps his friend up to his feet as Kingston flips the crowd off and heads to the back to a sea of loud boos. --- Match 4: Singles Match: Jeff Hardy vs. Michael Elgin Michael Elgin puts on by far his most impressive showing thus far in ROH as he takes Hardy to his limit. The powerhouse throws Hardy around the ring like a ragdoll with ease several times. Elgin looks to set up Hardy for the buckle bomb but Hardy hurricaranas his way out of it and slings Elgin onto his rear, facing the ring corner, he runs back into the opposite corner, runs at Elgin and drop kicks Elgin's head straight into the middle turnbuckle, Elgin is out cold, the crowd is going bananas, Hardy gets the win. Winner: Jeff Hardy via pinfall at 18 Minutes --- Segment 6: We receive another cryptid message from this unnamed gentleman who speaks in riddles and how ROH is not ready for the "truth" - he reveals his name as Truth Martini and says his true intentions will be revealed in time and ROH will never be the same. --- Segment 7: We get a small vignette with a graphic confirming the final two matches for the Final Battle PPV: Singles Match: Eddie Kingston vs. Homicide Free for ROH Website Pre-Show Match: Honor Rumble with the winner receiving an ROH North American Championship match on the ROH on TNT debut in January 2011 --- Segment 8: We get a backstage interaction between ROH North American Champion Roderick Strong who is defending his championship against the challenger, Kenny Omega. The two clearly have respect for one another and hype both each other and themselves up and wish the other luck for their match at Final Battle --- Match 6: The Briscoe Brothers (Jay Briscoe and Mark Briscoe) vs. SCUM (Steve Corino and Jimmy Jacobs) These two teams brutalize each other in the ring, showing no remorse for their own safety and health because of it. The Briscoes clearly taking out their anger over Steve Corino's bounty he set on them earlier this year from Lance Cade and Trevor Murdoch. Jay goes for the Jay Driller on Jacobs but Corino distracts the referee by yelling at him as SCUM's Jon Moxley and Sami Callihan jump the barricade and yank Mark Briscoe off the barricade and Jay drops Jacobs, going to try and help his brother, Jacobs capitalizes and takes the chance to roll up Jay Briscoe for a shock win. Winners: SCUM via pinfall at 14 Minutes --- Segment 9: Moxley, Callihan, Jacobs and Corino beat down The Briscoe Brothers as Tyler Black and El Generico run down to make the save and attack the two members of SCUM as the crowd erupts in cheers. SCUM attempt to roll out of the ring and escape as Generico brought a chair with him and is swinging it everywhere like a mad man. ROH GM Bret Hart makes an entrance and says that he knows that Generico and Black are supposed to have a singles match up next but "f it" the year is almost up for ROH and he is sick and tired of SCUM's antics and books a surprise match between SCUM vs. Generico, Black and The Briscoes in an 8-Man Tag RIGHT NOW! He says this should be 100% completely fair since the leader of SCUM, ROH World Heavyweight Kevin Steen is currently overseas defending the ROH Championship on a NJPW show. --- Match 7: 8-Man Tag: SCUM (Steve Corino, Jimmy Jacobs, Jon Moxley and Sami Callihan) vs. El Generico, Tyler Black, Jay Briscoe and Mark Briscoe This match is even more of a war than the previous one as the odds are now completely stacked between the two teams. Jay drops Jacobs with a Jay Driller! Mark hits Callihan with a Froggy Bow! Black hits Moxley with a God's Last Gift! Generico hits Corino with a HELLUVA KICK!!! Corino goes wobbling out of the corner, Generico throws Corino up, BRAAAAAAAAAAAAAIIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNBUSTAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH! Winners: Generico, Black and The Briscoes via pinfall at 28 Minutes --- Segment 9: The team celebrates their big victory in the ring as the march to Final Battle continues. --- MAIN EVENT: "The Great Escape" Rematch: Singles Match: No Time Limit, THERE MUST BE A WINNER: Bryan Danielson vs. Shinsuke Nakamura These two go out there and put on the clear match of the night and quite possibly the match of the year for ROH, They somehow surpass the quality of the first match as there's clearly more chemistry in the ring now between these two and tons of big moves with even bigger counters! The match comes to an end as Danielson shows his vicious side and just elbows Nakamura in the face and neck over and over and over and over until finally Nakamura is knocked out cold and the referee forces a stop to the match. Winner: Bryan Danielson via knock out and referee stoppage at 48 Minutes --- Segment 10: The show comes to a close as Danielson cuts a heart felt promo in the ring and thanks the fans for coming out tonight and supporting him and supporting ROH, he says how proud he is of this companies growth and he's excited to see where it heads from here. Danielson pulls Nakamura up to his feet and chuckles a bit and says "no hard feelings" to Nakamura, Danielson said he wouldn't put out that level of rage if he knew he wasn't taking on one of the best wrestlers in the world as the crowd erupts in cheers. The show ends with the two shaking hands and the crowd chanting "ROH! ROH! ROH!"

FINAL BATTLE 2010
LIVE ON PPV FROM NEW YORK CITY IN THE FAMOUS HAMMERSTEIN BALLROOM
We open our show with Kevin Kelly and Dave Prazak running down the card for tonight's historic PPV. They thank the fans at home for tuning into the biggest PPV in ROH history as this is the final chapter for this version of ROH as after this we will head into a weekly live television era as ROH goes weekly on TNT starting in January 2011. ---We get a video package hyping up the opening match which is a grudge match between The Briscoe Brothers and The Bounty Hunters. We see a clip of The Briscoes being beaten so badly by The Bounty Hunters as part of a deal with SCUM member Steve Corino who set a bounty on the heads of the Briscoe Brothers, this would ultimately cost The Briscoes their spot in the main event of our last PPV Glory By Honor. ---Match 1: Grudge Match:Tag Team Match: The Briscoe Brothers (Jay Briscoe and Mark Briscoe) vs. The Bounty Hunters (Lance Cade and Trevor Murdoch) These two brawl heavy teams put on a great opener for this hot new york crowd with The Briscoes doing everything in their power to get their revenge on Cade and Murdoch. The match comes to an end after The Briscoes hit a Doomsday Device on Murdoch. Winners: The Briscoe Brothers via pinfall at 11 Minutes. ---Post match, The Briscoe Brothers celebrate in the ring with the referee raising both their hands, Cade and Murdoch both looking defeated, The Briscoes look at one another and nod at one another, each going to assist the Bounty Hunters up to their feet to attempt to shake their hands and put this entire thing behind them but as they pull Cade and Murdoch up, Cade and Murdoch quickly attack and beat down The Briscoes again before leaving the ring to drowning boos from the New York crowd. ---Backstage we see El Generico sitting in his locker room, looking dead inside, but excited as Colt Cabana, who made his ROH return in the pre show match comes to comfort him, he tells Generico to not look so down, he says that tonight is Generico's night - Cabana says that he's meant everything he's said when he says that he considers Generico like a brother and to not worry about any outside interference tonight as he and the other ROH roster members will be heavily guarding the match and if any SCUM shenanigans begin to happen, the ROH roster will put a stop to it. Generico and Cabana hug. ---Match 2:Singles Match:Eddie Kingston vs. HomicideThese two absolutely rip each others heads off and battle it out but Kingston gets to using his size advantage against the former ROH World Heavyweight Champion. The match comes to an end after a BLKOUT LARIAT! from Eddie KingstonWinner: Eddie Kingston via pinfall at 8 minutes ---We get a video package highlighting the year that Roderick Strong had in 2010 with becoming the first ever ROH North American Champion and the crazy defenses he's had since then to hold the championship. ---Match 3:Singles Match: ROH North American Championship:ROH North American Champion Roderick Strong (c) vs. Kenny OmegaThis is the first match of the night to truly blow the crowd's mind and have them on their feet almost for the entirety of the match. The first ever ROH North American Champion Roderick Strong is pulling out every possible big move he can against Omega but Omega is putting on his true star making performance here as he continues to either kick out or outright counter anything from Strong. Strong sets Omega up for a backbreaker but Omega is able to yank Strong over with an arm drag, yanks Strong back up, V TRIGGER! Strong is stumbling around, he makes it back to his feet... A SECOND V TRIGGER FROM OMEGA! - Omega walks around the ring making the face of a killer with the crowd getting behind him, he runs to a barely able to stand Strong and a THIRD V TRIGGER! Winner and NEW ROH North American Champion: Kenny Omega via pinfall at 17 Minutes---After the match, Omega picks up Strong and the two shake hands first and foremost before Omega even celebrates with the title. Strong slowly rolls out of the ring, his face not leaving the ground in disappointment, he looks out at the crowd as the crowd continues to cheer him on as Omega lays on his knees and points up the ramp to Strong to show his respect, Strong scoffs and heads backstage instead of acknowledging the love from the fans. ---Match 4: Singles Match:Bryan Danielson vs. Mike Bennett (w/ Matt Taven) The American Dragon puts Mike Bennett not only through his toughest match thus far in ROH but puts him through his best match. The 2010 Top Prospect Cup Winner Mike Bennett puts in a shocking amount of offense, no thanks to that slime Matt Taven constantly doing what he can to distract the referee or Danielson until the referee finally kicks Taven out and to the backstage, much to the crowds amusement and cheers. Bennett argues with the referee, turns around to a running knee to the face from Danielson! Danielson locks in the LeBell Lock and it's over!Winner: Bryan Danielson via submission at 13 minutes. ---Match 5: 4-Way Tag Team: Winner Receives a Future ROH World Tag Team Championship Match: The American Wolves (Davey Richards and Eddie Edwards) vs. SCUM (Jon Moxley and Sami Callihan) vs. The Sandpaper Bastards (Bobby Fish and Erick Stevens) vs. WGTT (Shelton Benjamin and Charlie Haas) These 4 Teams hit the gas with no signs of ever slamming on the brakes. Chaos ensues for almost the entirety of the match and the referee loses track several times who is the actual legal man with so much action going on in and outside the ring. Erick Stevens has long time rival Davey Richards in a choke hold, heading to the ropes but is swindled around by Davey and thrown to another corner, allowing Benjamin to tag himself in on their corner instead of Fish in the Bastards' corner, Benjamin rushes and dives onto Bobby Fish, knocking him off the apron, Haas makes his arounds and takes care of SCUM and Eddie Edwards on the outside and begins brawling with them, Benjamin shows a freakish amount of strength as he lifts both Davey and Stevens up for a DOUBLE T-BONE SUPLEX! The crowd is going insane, Benjamin pins Stevens!Winners: WGTT via pinfall at 20 Minutes ---Backstage, we see ROH World Heavyweight Champion Kevin Steen prepping for his match in the main event tonight, he and Steve Corino discuss tactic. Steen cuts Corino off and says there is no tactic from SCUM tonight. He expresses his disappointment with SCUM while he was away fighting overseas in NJPW and says Corino and the guys took a huge humiliating loss at the last show. Corino attempts to defend himself but Steen isn't having it. He says tonight he wants the ring to himself. This is his true time to shine and prove to everyone that Kevin Steen as world champion is now and forever now. One year in the making, Kevin Steen officially kills El Generico. ---Match 6:Singles Match: Jeff Hardy vs. Christopher DanielsDaniels is playing up more and more of his cowardly behavior as of late and looks to do everything he can to avoid confrontation with assault from Hardy. Hardy has Daniels set up for the Twist of Fate but out comes... Michael Elgin? He stares down the ramp at a confused Jeff Hardy as Christopher Daniels uses this chance to get out of the twist of fate and set Hardy up for an Angels Wings! He then runs over to the ropes and leaps up to hit a BME! Daniels gets the upset.Winner: Christopher Daniels via pinfall at 13 Minutes ---After the match, Elgin steps into the ring and picks Hardy up and hits a buckle bomb onto Hardy before going over to Daniels and shaking hands with Daniels as the two raise their arms together as the crowd boos. ---We get a video package highlighting the year that both these teams have had with ANX defining the odds and becoming the ROH Tag Champs and The Young Bucks winning the 2010 Tag Wars tournament to earn the match tonight. ---Match 7: Tag Team Match:ROH World Tag Team Championships: ROH World Tag Team Champions The All Night Xpress (Rhett Titus and Kenny King) (c) vs. The Young Bucks (Matt Jackson and Nick Jackson) ANX silence all their haters as they put on their biggest performance yet to a hot crowd in New York. This match is stuffed with constant near falls and the crowd standing on their feet. King goes for a drop kick onto Matt Jackson but Jackson ducks out of the way, dives, tags into Nick Jackson, Nick goes and super kicks Rhett as soon as he slides into the ring, he yells at Matt to get up, they set King up for the More Bang for Your Buck! It's over!Winners and NEW ROH World Tag Team Champions: The Young Bucks via pinfall at 20 minutes ---Post match, The Young Bucks celebrate in the ring with their tag titles as The Bucks' family can be seen emotional in the crowd as the Bucks grab the camera and say that THIS is the new generation of ROH right here... this is the generation of The Young Bucks. ---We get a video package of Tyler Black and Jimmy Jacobs as their young days debuting as a team of Age of the Fall in 2007, their quick rise in the tag division, their classic matches with The Briscoe Brothers and even Kevin Steen and El Generico when they were a team, we see the downfall and fall out of the team that lead to a series of matches between Jacobs and Black, we see the match that ultimately lead to Jacobs being forced to leave ROH after losing a grueling match to Tyler Black, we see Tyler Black winning the ROH championship from Austin Aries at Final Battle 2009 last year and we get a promo spliced into the video package of Jacobs reminding him of how if it wasn't for Jacobs there would be no Tyler Black and Black was doing everything in his power to attempt to erase that fact, we see a playback of Jacobs being involved in the match that cost Black to lose the ROH World Championship to fellow SCUM member Kevin Steen, we see Jacobs attacking Black that nearly left him out of commission for a scary amount of time - this is nearly as grudge match as a grudge match gets.---Match 8: Grudge Match: Singles Match:Tyler Black vs. Jimmy Jacobs These two are looking to not only end one another's careers, they seem to be trying to end each other's lives. Jacobs is pulling out tons of moves that he's never been seen doing before, showing how serious he is taking this match, the training and influence that Jacobs has gotten from Steve Corino and other fellow SCUM members is scary as we see an even scarier side to Jimmy Jacobs. Black is able to power through a lot of it and is also fighting a lot more aggressive than we've recently seen him wrestle and is looking to match the evil that Jacobs is bringing to the match. Black is able to hit a God's Last Gift onto Jacobs and looks to cover but Corino runs out from the back to the crowd's boos and grabs the leg of the referee and pulls him out of the ring, Black looks absolutely pissed and leans over the ropes, yelling at Corino, just then, Callihan and Moxley run from the back and slide a weapon to Jacobs... it's a metal spike... Jacobs jabs Black in the back of the head with the metal spike! Black is out cold. A small dribble of blood can be seen on the mat as Jacobs drags him further from the ropes and into the center of the ring. Corino slides the referee into the ring as the crowd boos and the referee slowly counts to 3. Winner: Jimmy Jacobs via pinfall at 23 Minutes---After the match, Jacobs gives an evil cackles as the 3 members of SCUM celebrate with him as Black looks scarily hurt as the medical professionals rush to the ring to check on him as SCUM heads to the back with a crowd booing heavily. ---We get a video package that showcases the weird and petty rivalry between ROH GM Bret Hart and The Kings of Wrestling's Chris Hero and Claudio Castagnoli. Hart has made it clear since near day 1 that he views Hero and Claudio as the two biggest potential stars in ROH and they need to act like it. Stop with the "indie bull sh*t" and go out there and prove themselves as the big star players he knows they are, we see a replay of Roddy Piper getting himself involved with the feud after KoW saved him from an assault from Kevin Steen, something that Bret Hart couldn't prevent even though he's the GM of ROH. Piper sides with the Kings of Wrestling and calls Hart petty and selfish. Hart suspended Piper. The Kings lost their tag titles. The Kings assaulted Hart. Hart's family got involved. All of this over some tough love from one of the greatest talents the business has ever seen. Hart looks to whip The Kings into shape tonight and prepare them for the big leagues as ROH heads to it's next era. ---Match 9: 6-Man Tag:The Harts (Bret Hart, Harry Smith and TJ Wilson) vs. The Kings of Wrestling (Chris Hero and Claudio Castagnoli) and Roddy PiperThis match is extremely hard fought between the two younger teams of Wilson/Smith and The Kings and they look to prove that this upcoming generation of wrestlers is going to be A-Okay. Wilson finally tags in Bret to the big pop of the crowd. Hero sizes Hart up and smirks, before tagging in Roddy Piper, the crowd is going electric and is on their feet as the two legends get in the ring and angrily get in one another's face, yelling at each other, before finally trading blows and strikes between one another as the camera zooms in on it before -- BAM! A HUGE SURPRISE ROLLING ELBOW BY CHRIS HERO! The crowd gives a mixed reaction of cheers and boos as Hero smiles at the camera. Wilson and Smith get into the ring and attempt to defend Bret but Claudio rushes into the ring and it's a 3 on 2 situation with The Kings and Piper clearly on top, finally, The Kings lift Bret up for a Royal Bomb! Piper smiles and gets the pin on Bret.Winners: The Kings of Wrestling and Roddy Piper via pinfall at 13 Minutes---Post match, KoW and Piper don't spend a ton of time celebrating as they just head to the back with more of a mixed reaction from the crowd as TJ Wilson and Harry Smith assist Bret up.---We get a video package hyping up our main event, the one everyone has been waiting for, ROH World Champion Kevin Steen defends his ROH Championship against his former tag team partner and best friend, El Generico. We get a replay of Final Battle 2009 when Steen turned on Generico after their loss to The Young Bucks. We see the evil and corrupt influence that Corino has had on Steen. We see Steen beating Generico in their only singles match against each other so far during WrestleMania weekend all the way back in April. We see Steen capture the championship from Tyler Black, the formation of SCUM. We see Generico overcome all odds at every corner and beat members of SCUM in singles matches, we see a replay of the 10-Man Tag from our last PPV Glory by Honor. It's time. It's Steen's Championship against Generico's ROH career. If El Generico does not leave Final Battle with the ROH Championship, he vows that his journey comes to an end here in ROH. ---MAIN EVENT: Grudge Match:Fight Without Honor:Championship vs. Career, If Generico does not leave Final Battle with the ROH Championship, he leaves ROH: ROH WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP:ROH World Heavyweight Champion Kevin Steen (c) vs. El Generico The crowd is ecstatic and on their feet during the entire video package, during the entrances, as soon as Steen hits the ring, the two go at it, the bell has been rung and we're under way. The two are taking hatred to a whole other meaning.Steen quickly is able to grab a steel chair from under the ring and looks to give a replay to what happened at last year's Final battle and swing's a chair right at Generico's skull, Generico is able to catch the chair and powers himself up, the crowd is going crazy, Generco yanks the chair out of Steen's hands and slaps it over Steen's skull instead, the thunderous sound of the chair echos through out the hammerstein ball room. Generico sets up Steen for a Helluva Kick, but as he comes, Steen grabs Generico and slams him down to the mat, Steen picks up Generico and hit's him with a package piledriver ... 2 count!Generico lifts Steen up for the BRAINBUSTAH! but Steen weighs himself down and hits Generico with his own version of a Brainbustah! 2 count! Steen gets a table in the ring and sets it up, setting in over towards the corner, looking to hit a package piledriver on Generico and through the table, but Generico powers out, and repositions both him and Steen, he has Steen in position, the crowd is freaking out as Generico instead turns it into a top rope BRAINBUSTAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH through the table!!! Generico covers...1...2...3!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Winner and NEW ROH WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION: EL GENERICO!!!---Streamers are thrown into the ring by fans and rain down from the roof as Generico is handed the ROH Championship, clearly very emotional with some tears in his eyes, blood able to be seen through his mask as the crowd chants along to his theme song "OLE! OLE! OLE!" - Generico has done it. He's conquered Kevin Steen and done the unthinkable and become WORLD CHAMPION. Steen drags himself to the back, throwing a small tantrum as he holds his head as it gushes with blood and heads to the back. Generico is standing in the ring, attempting to put the ROH World Championship around his waist. All of a sudden... the lights go out...We see on the titantron the following backstage segment from the September 4 show "March to War" ROH World Heavyweight Champion Kevin Steen is in the back preparing with Steve Corino for tonight's main event. ROH North American Roderick Strong knocks on the door and steps in. Steen and Corino stand up ready to fight. Strong tells them to take it easy. He's not here to fight. He just wants to question Steen and his actions. Strong says that he's stood by long enough all year and seen the actions of Steen and says is this really him? Is this really what he feels he needs to do be the world champion? Strong says he did the right thing and ignored the words of Steen earlier and says that he knows that Steen didn't mean it when he called Roddy a second rate champion. Strong says that he wants to just put this all aside. Strong says that he genuinely respects Steen but he also adores Generico. He views Generico as ROH's weird little brother and wants to protect him at all costs and he intends on not holding back whatsoever at Glory by Honor.Steen and Corino just laugh and immediately start ripping into Strong. Steen says he meant everything that he said earlier tonight. He says that Strong couldn't lace his boots. Steen mocks Strong for trying to act all high and mighty and like he cares for Generico. Steen questions if that's the case then why has Strong taken literally all year to get involved in this drama? Why is strong so scared?Strong starts to get more heated and argue with Steen.Steen cuts off Roderick and says that he's wasting his time. He says that if at any point that Strong wants to be more involved, he's going to extend an offer. Steen says any time, anywhere, Strong can come and challenge for the ROH World Heavyweight Championship. He says that he doesn't care if it's after tonight's main event, he doesn't care if it's in the opener of Glory by Honor, he doesn't care if it's at an airport, he doesn't care if it's his Steen's own house, whenever Roderick Strong decides to man up and come for the world championship, he can just go right ahead. Until then, he tells Strong to stay out of their way.Steen and Corino leave the locker room and Steen passive aggressively shoulder bumps into Strong as he exits with Strong standing there clearly angered and frustrated by the encounter the crowd boos as we then cut to a Roderick Strong earlier in tonight soaking in his loss of the ROH North American Championship, he sits there defeated. When all of a sudden, the mysterious man who has been appearing in vignettes at recent ROH shows, Truth Martini shows up, he comforts Strong and says "You know what this means, right? You know what you now have to do." Strong looks to be in denial and says it's not right. Truth cuts him off and says it's not about what's right. It's about what is earned. Truth says Strong is by far and objectively the best wrestler in the world and when ROH enters the new era in 2011, it starts with a new vision, a new savior, a new vision... it starts with the Truth.... Truth Martini laughs evily as Strong just sits on the backstage bench and contemplates. --- The lights come back on with Martini standing there behind Generico giving a smile only the devil himself could love, holding the "Book of Truth" in his hands, Generico turns around, beaten and battered, blood still dripping out of his mask, barely able to stand and hold up the ROH championship that he hasn't been able to even strap around his waist. Truth stands there and begins the mischievous laugh again as the crowd stands there, half booing and half in confused silence. Finally, Roderick Strong's theme hits, the entire crowd is now booing as Strong makes his way to the ring slowly, observing the hostile crowd, people throwing trash at him and throwing up their middle fingers at Strong as he slides into the ring, a referee not far behind him. Generico looks at both Truth and Strong in shock and heartbreak, Strong stands in the opposite corner, looking at the ground, too cowardly to even make eye contact with Generico as Generico still looks innocently confused. Truth then wacks Generico in the back with the book of truth, the thud of the heavy book echoing around the world. The crowd boos and begins to throw trash into the ring. Strong then looks up with an entirely new look never before seen in the eyes of Strong as the bell rings as Generico goes stumbling into Strong who throws Generico up for the most vicious of backbreakers before covering Generico... 1... 2... 3.... Winner and new ROH World Heavyweight Champion: Roderick Strong via pinfall at 11 seconds. The show goes off air with the fans throwing trash into the ring and chanting "bull shit" as Truth raises the hand of Strong as Strong holds the ROH World Heavyweight Championship above his head with a look of confusion, guilt, and panic as the beaten down Generico lays at his feet.

The douchebag RS was in PWG is the douchebag I want to see here. Thank you! I wanted to try and do TVs so I can release more story progress and feature more talent with shorter formats and focus on the bigger formats and writing/detail for PPVs. Yeah, Roderick Strong at one point was the best wrestler in the US during that PWG title run. He's one of the most under appreciated wrestlers by general fans

ROH ON TNT EPISODE 1: We open our historic show with Kevin Kelly, Dave Prazak and newly signed ROH commentator Excalibur giving us a warm welcome to the show. They thank the new fans for checking out ROH. They thank the fans of ROH who have been with them for nearly 10 years. They thank TNT for giving them the chance to broadcast ROH on a national level and thank them for spending the last several weeks airing ROH highlight specials to catch up new viewers on ROH, it's storylines and it's stars. --- Match 1: Singles Match: ROH North American Championship: ROH North American Champion Kenny Omega (c) vs. Jay Lethal Omega and Lethal have a hard fought, even match between the two, this match was perfect to get the crowd going. Winner and STILL ROH North American Champion: Kenny Omega via pinfall --- After the match, Omega cuts a promo on new ROH world heavyweight champion Roderick Strong and says that he can't believe that a defeat to him is what lead Roddy down the path that he's currently headed. He says he had no idea that was the type of man Roderick Strong is when he stepped in the ring with him at Final Battle at won the North American Championship. He smirks and challenges Strong to a rematch, but this time, Omega is coming for his other title. --- We get a video package highlighting what happened at Final Battle between SCUM beating down Tyler Black, which leads to us with SCUM in the ring with Steve Corino, Jimmy Jacobs, Jon Moxley and Sami Callihan. Corino says that ultimately Final Battle didn't go as planned, as they can see former ROH Champion Kevin Steen couldn't be here tonight as he is still physically and emotionally recovering from the events of Final Battle. Corino says that ultimately, Steen came out on top because although he lost the battle, he didn't lose the war. Because as you can tell, El Generico didn't leave Final Battle as ROH Champion as per the stipulation, he will never be seen in ROH again. Corino says that not all is lost though, he congratulates Jimmy Jacobs on his huge victory at Final Battle over Tyler Black and says that he's been able to secure Jacobs a match for the ROH North American Championship against that schmuck Kenny Omega at the first ROH PPV of 2011 "Revolution of Honor" coming up in a few weeks. Corino says that the control that SCUM has over this company has not shifted and they will continue to wreak havoc on this company and the world of professional wrestling. Colt Cabana cuts them off and says there has been no war won, Cabana will avenge his friend Generico and take down SCUM, even single handedly if he has to. --- Match 2: Tag Team Match: The Briscoe Brothers (Jay Briscoe and Mark Briscoe) vs. The Kings of Wrestling (Chris Hero and Claudio Castagnoli) (w/ Roddy Piper) These two blow the roof off of the place as to be expected between these former hot rivals. The Briscoes almost get the win as they set up Hero for the doomsday device but The Briscoes' rivals The Bounty Hunters (Lance Cade and Trevor Murdoch) run out and stand on the ring apron to distract The Briscoes to allow KOW to take control. Winners: The Kings of Wrestling via pinfall --- Post match, The Briscoes and The Bounty Hunters brawl --- Match 3: Singles Match: Jeff Hardy vs. Christopher Daniels (w/ Michael Elgin) Hardy puts on a lot more aggressive offense against Daniels this time around and outsmarts Daniels and his new enforcer Michael Elgin to get the win. Winner: Jeff Hardy via pinfall. --- Post match, Elgin attempts to step into the ring to attack Hardy but Hardy reverses it into a Twist of Fate. --- We get an in ring promo from Truth Martini and newly crowned ROH World Heavyweight Champion Roderick Strong, they cut a promo defending the actions of Strong as Strong still seems mixed on his stance on everything but reluctantly goes along with Martini's promo about how this was Roddy's time to shine, this is Roddy's time to prove to the world that he is the best wrestler on the planet. He says that the truth of the matter is, Strong has been patiently waiting his "turn" for years and that's just not how the world works, Strong had to seize his opportunity. The crowd boos as Martini does everything to relax Roddy's mind and says that this was how things had to be. Strong speaks for himself as the crowd boos and attempts to drown out his words but says that he has received a lot of texts, calls, emails over the last few weeks since Final Battle with people checking on him and saying that this isn't the Roderick Strong that they know, but the truth is, he couldn't be happier. He's finally on top. He's finally making the most money in ROH. He's finally, the main event, the main attraction, the guy. He attempts to apologize to El Generico for how things went down but Martini cuts Strong off and says that tonight, he'd like to formally introduce the entire world to The House of Truth... He acknowledges that Strong's opponent tonight, Bryan Danielson will have his rookie punks Cole and O'Reilly at ring side and he'd like to ensure that things are fair, so he goes ahead and introduces the other members of the House of Truth, Mike Bennett and Matt Taven! The crowd boos as Taven and Bennett come down to the ring, repping newly printed shirts for the House of Truth and they all four pose in the ring together with Strong in the middle holding up the ROH Championship. --- Match 4: Tag Team Match: ROH World Tag Team Championships: ROH World Tag Team Champions The Young Bucks (Matt Jackson and Nick Jackson) (c) vs. WGTT (Charlie Haas and Shelton Benjamin) These two teams attempt to put on a big rematch from their match during 2010 Tag Wars but the match comes to a short end and a draw after interference from those sons of b itches The All Night Xpress (Rhett Titus and Kenny King) as they ambush the ring and beat down both teams with a chair and a steel pipe, causing the match to a no contest. The former tag team champs ANX make their presence known as the crowd boos. --- We get a backstage segment from ROH General Manager, clearly still beaten and shook up from his defeat at Final Battle, announcing a big signing for ROH - He confirms that Shinsuke Nakamura has signed on full time exclusively with Ring of Honor as the crowd cheers on as Nakamura then makes his way down to the ring and poses for the crowd as the crowd cheers on. --- Match 5: Singles Match: Brian Cage vs. Chuck Taylor (w/ Johnny Gargano) This match was fueled by revenge for Taylor and Gargano after Cage eliminated both of them in the Final Battle Honor Rumble but Cage makes quick work of Chuck Taylor. Winner: Brian Cage via pinfall --- Match 6: Singles Match: ROH World Heavyweight Championship: ROH World Heavyweight Champion Roderick Strong (c) (w/ Truth Martini, Matt Taven and Mike Bennett) vs. Bryan Danielson (w/ Adam Cole and Kyle O'Reilly) These two put on by far the best match of the night with tons of time and near spots. The crowd is clearly 100% on Danielson's side. To the shock of many, Strong is able to defeat Danielson 100% clean with no outside interference from The House of Truth members. Winner and STILL ROH World Heavyweight Champion: Roderick Strong via pinfall --- Post match, Cole and O'Reilly roll into the ring to attempt to help Danielson up and give him water but The House of Truth get into the ring and begin to attack Cole and O'Reilly but Cole and O'Reilly are able to defend themselves against Taven and Bennett as Strong steps back and allows the two teams to duke it out. All of a sudden, SCUM hits the ring and begins to attack all of the men in the ring as it's now The American Dragon Dojo, SCUM and The House of Truth having a huge brawl. Kevin Steen's music hits to a mixed reception of boos and cheers from the crowd as he shockingly heads down the ring armed with a wired barbwire bat, as soon as the crowd notices the deadly weapon, the crowd is going berserk ... The Lights shut off....... The crowd gets even louder with excitement as the 3 groups in the ring begin to slow down on the assault in confusion, Steen, the only one outside the ring and still only halfway down the ramp looks around in confusion as well, A very familiar audio effect is heard as a countdown from 10 begins on the titantron as the crowd goes for the biggest pop of the night. 10... 9... 8... 7... 6... 5... 4... 3... 2... 1... 0...
IT'S CHRIS JERICHO!!The crowd is losing their mind as the rest of the ROH roster members just stand there stunned as Jericho stands at the top of the ramp and smirks and smiles as the show comes to a close with the commentators not speaking and letting the crowd's reaction speak for itself as the crowd chants "Y2J! Y2J! Y2J!"
