Eamon: Welcome ladies and gentelmen to the first edition of Ring of Honor TV. We have a great show planned for you tonight with exclusive matches featuring the atheletes of Ring of Honor, plus exclusive ongoings in the world that is Ring of Honor. Of course, the big news coming from this week is the crowning of a new ROH Pure Champion in Double C Claudio Castagnoli. Claudio was able to last for two nights against 15 other men in a grueling tournament which ended with Claudio sealing his first singles title with a win over Colt Cabana. Claudio has made extreme struggles in his career from his move to america from Switzerland to finally reach his dream of winning a singles championship. We caught up with Claudio after his match.



Claudio: Finally, after all my hard work, all my dedication. This is the payoff. The ROH Pure Title. I represented Pure Wrestling since the beginning. This belt proves it. From the AJ Styles, to the Doug Williams, the Samoa Joes, the Nigel McGuinness's, the Bryan Danielson's. They all became wrestling stars becuase of this gold. And now it is time for Claudio Castagnoli to become the true star that he always wanted to be. I will make sure to defend this championship with dignity, with drive and honor against any man who wants to take this belt from me.



Eamon: Well, Claudio will be defending the championship sooner than later. As in Edison on May 29 we will have a #1 contenders match between two men that faced Claudio in the tournament. Those men are the over the top Colt Cabana and the hard hitting Low Ki. The winner of that match will then face Claudio for the Pure championship on June 10th in Detroit. Hopefully, Claudios dream of being champion will not be shattered in mere weeks. Also, shockingly coming from the Pure tournament was a series of events involving Jimmy Jacobs and the Age of the Fall. On the first night, we saw both Tyler Black and Jimmy Jacobs lose their matches in the first round of the tournament. Later on in the second night however, during the match between Austin Aries and Low Ki, this happened.

(Footage is shown of Jimmy Jacobs attacking Aries with the railroad spike during the match)

Eamon: Jacobs ruined the chance of Aries being a Triple Crown Champion. However, Jacobs will not go without punishment for his deeds as in Edison he will be wrestling both the man Tyler Black lost too in the tournament and former tag team champion with Austin Aries, Roderick Strong. Next week, we will get words from both Aries and Jacobs involving this situation. When we get back from commercial break we will see the Ring of Honor World Tag Team champions in action.

For those in the New Jersey area be sure to come to our show in Edison on the 29th as Steen and Generico will be in action as they take on the Osirian Portal. Also in Edison will be a classic match between Jimmy Rave and "The Best Wrestler in the World" Bryan Danielson. Earlier we caught up with Jimmy Rave about this match.



Rave: May 29th in Edison, New Jersey. Jimmy Rave makes himself a household name. Back when I was wrestling in Orlando, I was made an absolute joke of and eventually fired. So I will take out my frustration on a man considered the best wrestler in the world. Bryan Danielson, you may have all these different ways to take a man out. But in Edison, when I take you down and lock on that dreaded Heel Hook, as you scream like a little bitch, they wont matter. Because in Edison, Jimmy Rave will be considered "The Best Wrestler in the World" and will be one step closer to my ultimate goal of the Ring of Honor World Title!

Eamon: Harsh words from Jimmy Rave to Bryan Danielson but up next we will see our main event as Women's champion MsChif faces Allison Danger.

(Camera goes to the back with the Age of the Fall)
Jacobs: The Ring of Honor Pure Championship tournament. A tournament for a title held by some of the best professional wrestlers in this industry. ROH has shunned us for way to long. We were cast into the background and now we will have our retribution. Pure wrestling is everything that ROH is about. And we will take it hostage. I and Tyler Black are both in the tournament meaning we have the best chance to succeed. In the first round, I have Low-Ki. The first Ring of Honor world champion. You will also be our first example.

Black: And I have Roderick Strong. Strong, you’re a former World Tag Team Champion. Never made it big single. This will be no exception as I destroy you and move on in the tournament.

Jacobs: And for all who are in our way the message will be sent. This tournament claims to have the best wrestling. Tonight, you will be praised for your athleticism, but you will be killed for your idiocy. The Age will stand tall.


Ring Announcer: The following contest is scheduled for one fall and is a Pure Championship Tournament first round match. On the way to the ring. From the Dark Side of a Broken Heart. Weiging in at 173 pounds. He represents the Age of the Fall. Jimmy Jacobs.

This gives him the opportunity for the Ghetto Stomp.

Ring Announcer: Please welcome to the ring, The Ring of Honor World Heavyweight Champion, Nigel McGuinness


Nigel: Well, well, well. Looks like once again, all of you smart marks and all of the Ring of Honor fans got egg on their face. I am still the Ring of Honor World Heavyweight champion. I defy all those wrestling fans who doubt me. I stand up to the ignorant and useless critics. You do not affect me anymore because I have done it all. Since I came to America and since I came to ROH, I was told I couldn’t be a champion. I was told that all I brought to the table was an English accent and a bunch of lariats. These lariats that I use to knock your jaw down your throat are what have won me the Ring of Honor World title. Everyone was so surprised that I held this championship for over a year. And guess what, I’m gonna hold this title for another year, and another year, and another year, and the person who takes this belt off me will be the man that pries it from my cold, dead, British arms. I am Ring of Honor. I am the top star. Love it or hate it, either way. I am Nigel McGuinness and I’m in it to god damn win it.


(Samoa Joe grabs a microphone)

Joe: You’re Ring of Honor? You represent Ring of Honor? I know I’ve been gone for a long time but last time I checked when people think Ring of Honor, they think Samoa Joe. That’s a nice belt you have there. Once again I apologize I’ve been gone from a real company for a really long time but that kind of looks like the belt I made famous. You know what, that is the belt. That’s the Ring of Honor world title. And you’re Nigel McGuinness. I remember you. In it to win it right? Wow, I mean you won the belt. And no offense but I heard of all these men that you’ve beaten for the belt, that you held it for more than a year now. And I looked through the names you have beaten and man that is amazing. You have wrecked the competition in ROH. But I looked through all the names and one seemed to be missing. (Fans chant “Joe is gonna kill you”) And that’s mine. So you say you can take down anyone huh? How bout the man that made that a world title. How bout the man who made Ring of Honor. The man who bled, the man who sweat the man who killed for ROH. So, do you have the marbles to take me on? So I can beat you famous and take back the most important championship in North America. What do you say?

(Nigel slides out of the ring and heads to the back)

Joe: I’ll take that as a maybe but as I said a long time ago, welcome back to professional wrestling. Welcome to Ring of Honor.

(Fans go crazy and chant ROH)

Joe: Back in 2007, I had my final match in this company. I went to Orlando and no offense. I was made into a joke. And I read your emails. I read your message boards. I heard you’re calls and I heard you rally. You wanted me back. You wanted the real Samoa Joe back. You wanted the man who scarred his chest and showed no remorse and no stop in taking down his opponent. Well, its good to be home. I am back for you fans. I am back for those watching at home. And I am back to reclaim the legacy and notoriety that is the Samoan Submission Machine. So, for those that might have forgotten, I am Samoa Joe. And I am pro wrestling.
