Ring Of Honor Supercard Of Honor XV Final Thoughts
Honestly, the quality of matches on the show was amazing. However, I believe the booking was poor and possibly even disrespectful to the champions of the prior version of ROH. Nevertheless, FTR and The Briscoes had likely one of the best matches you would ever see. Willow Nightingale and Mercedes Martinez developed great chemistry in the ring, which reflected on to the match perception. We also had three new champions crowned in FTR, Minoru Suzuki, and Wheeler Yuta. In addition to these title changes, Jonathan Gresham became the only ROH World Champion in his unification match with Bandido.
