ROH Best in the World 2018 Results

Ring of Honor’s Best in the World pay-per-view last night was from just outside Baltimore in the UMBC Event Center.

The venue holds just over 6000 for basketball and the commentary team said attendance was 2.5x more than for any other Ring of Honor event in the area. ROH has also been looking at booking bigger venues in most markets they run as of late.

The company was also looking to run Madison Square Garden in New York next spring. That deal ended up falling through, however.

ROH Best in the World 2018 Results

  1. ROH 6-Man Tag Team Championships
    The Kingdom (Matt Taven, TK O’Ryan and Vinny Marseglia) (c) defeated Los Ingobernables de Japon (Bushi, Evil and Sanada)
  2. Flip Gordon defeated Bully Ray via DQ
    • Bully hit him with a low blow.
    • Several ROH “young boys” attempted to help. Cheeseburger made the final save.
  3. Sumie Sakai, Jenny Rose, Mayu Iwatani and Tenille Dashwood defeated Kelly Klein and Oedo Tai (Hazuki, Kagetsu and Hana Kimura)
    • Kagetsu is the Stardom champion and Sakai the WOH champ. They were teasing something between the two.
    • Iwatani got the pin for her team.
  4. Austin Aries defeated Kenny King
    • They mentioned Aries is the Impact World champion but Cabana pretended as though they shouldn’t have said that.
  5. Jay Lethal defeated KUSHIDA
    • They teased some dissension between the two here. KUSHIDA refused to shake Lethal’s hand before the match. He also later mocked Lethal with a Randy Savage styled axehandle. I feel as though this is something which could be explained during a later episode of Being the Elite. Lethal has been slipping in and out of his old Black Machismo gimmick on the show.
  6. ROH World TV Championship
    Punishment Martinez (c) defeated Hangman Page

    • The finish of this match came when Martinez delivered a South of Heaven chokeslam to his opponent through a table. As the ref counted the three, however, both wrestlers’ shoulders were against the mat. Despite this, the ref awarded the victory to Martinez. ROH officials may have a later ruling due to the controversy at the finish of this match.
  7. ROH World Tag Team Championships
    the Briscoes (c) defeated the Young Bucks

    • The Briscoes have now defeated the Bucks 8 out of their 13 meetings with the Bucks.
    • After the match, SCU came out and looked as though they were going to attack the Bucks. Instead, they attacked the Briscoes and made their intentions of being the next title challengers clear.
  8. ROH World Championship
    3-Way
    Dalton Castle (c) defeated Cody and Marty Scurll

    • Castle retains his title despite seemingly dealing with several nagging injuries. His leg and shoulder were taped up for this match.
    • NWA World Heavyweight Champion, Nick Aldis, was ringside. At one point, Aldis pulled the ref out of the ring when it looked like Scurll would win the title.
    • The finish came when Scurll gave Cody his own Cross Rhodes finisher but then Castle gave Scurll the Bangarang and got the pin.
    • Cody loses the first of 3 big title opportunities he has this summer.

ROH Best in the World 2018 Lineup and Preview

Ring of Honor is back on pay-per-view tonight. Best in the World 2018 will also stream live for VIP Honor Club subscribers. The event will emanate from the UMBC Event Center (holds approx. 6000) from Catonsville, Maryland.

ROH Best in the World 2018 Lineup and Preview

ROH World Championship
3-Way Match
Dalton Castle (c) vs Cody vs Marty Scurll

Castle has held the title since December 15th, 2017 when he defeated Cody at Final Battle 2017. Tonight could easily be his last with the belt.

Scurll and Cody have not been on the same page as of late and competing for the World Title in the same match will not make things easier. This match could lead to a full-blown Cody and Scurll feud, although Cody has a lot of other things going on as well.

This will be the first of 3 big championship matches for Cody this summer. He will also challenge Kenny Omega for the IWGP Heavyweight Championship at the G1 Special in San Francisco. He will then challenge for the NWA World Heavyweight Championship on September 1st.

ROH World Tag Team Championships
The Briscoes (c) vs the Young Bucks

This match pits the most successful two tag-teams in Ring of Honor history against one another. Technically, the Kings of Wrestling (Chris Hero and Cesaro) and reDragon (Kyle O’Reilly and Bobby Fish) have held the tag belts longer than the Bucks, though nobody has held them longer than the Briscoes.

The Briscoes have adopted an anti-Bullet Club stance as of late. Now working as heels, this will be the most high-profile match yet featuring the Briscoes rivalry with the American faction of Bullet Club.

The Young Bucks are fresh off having won the IWGP heavyweight tag team championships in NJPW. They will have to defend those titles at the Cow Palace next weekend, however, against former champions, Evil and Sanada.

Flip Gordon vs Bully Ray

Bully Ray has been trying to take out all the lower-card and younger guys on the roster. He’s already bullied Cheeseburger and several other wrestlers.

Tonight, Flip will try and upset the veteran and maybe try and impress the All-In bookers in the process.

ROH 6-Man Tag Team Championships
The Kingdom (Matt Taven, TK O’Ryan, Vinny Marseglia) (c) vs Bushi, Evil, and Sanada

The Kingdom is the only 2-time holders of these titles. They have defended the titles more times than any other team as well. They are just 52 days away from breaking the Hung Bucks record for most combined days spent with the title.

LIJ has held 6-man gold in NJPW but never in ROH. In fact, no team from NJPW has ever won these titles. Tonight could easily be the first time it happens, however.

ROH World Television Championship
Baltimore Street Fight
Punishment Martinez vs Adam Page

Martinez won a 6-way proving ground match and then defeated Silas Young for the belt last weekend in Texas. He will be in tough against Page, who is still trying to win his first singles title in either ROH or NJPW.

Also Booked for the show:

  • Jay Lethal vs KUSHIDA
  • Kenny King vs Austin Aries
  • Sumie Sakai, Jenny Rose, Mayu Iwatani, and Tenille Dashwood vs Kelly Klein, Hazuki, Kagetsu, and Hana Kimura

ROH Makes Big Change To Main Event Of Best In The World PPV

Ring of Honor has decided to make a change to their Best in the World PPV main event.

If you recall, the Baltimore-based promotion originally announced that Dalton Castle would defend the World Title against Cody Rhodes at the Best in the World PPV.

However, that has all changed as over the weekend the promotion revealed that Castle will now defend it against Rhodes and Marty Scurll in a Triple Threat Match at the show, which takes place on Friday, June 29, 2018 in Baltimore, Maryland at the UMBC Event Center. The event will air on traditional PPV outlets and the FITE TV app.

As of this writing, no other matches have been announced for this upcoming event. Ring of Honor will be doing so in the coming weeks.

ROH Wrestler Moose On WWE Tryouts, GFW Rumors, His Contractual Status & More

Ring Of Honor wrestler Moose was recently interviewed about his WWE tryout, working with Global Force Wrestling, his contractual status and more. Below are some highlights.

On his WWE tryouts: “I’ve had tryouts with them (WWE) actually more than the one but I’ve had tryouts with them and it was just one of those things where I just felt comfortable with where I was at. I’m not saying that WWE is not somewhere I wouldn’t want to work at some point in my career because it is. Every wrestler in the world would tell you that. That the WWE is somewhere they would want to work at, at some point in their career. But I felt comfortable staying where I was currently at. I’m not saying there they even offered anything, I’m just saying that it’s just one of those things where I looked at what I had in front of me and where I wanted to go I felt that right now that staying with Ring of Honor was the best choice for me. Like I said, not that WWE ever offered me anything because they didn’t. With what I had in front of me and the choices and the options available to me, staying in Ring of Honor was the best possible choice.”

On the Global Force Wrestling rumors: “I have plans with Ring of Honor and I haven’t signed anything with any other company. It’s crazy because just to segue out here and I normally hear the same thing and sometimes I laugh about it, sometimes it’s just funny because how people get their information and how quickly the information is spread through social media and how truthful or not truthful the information is and by the time it’s because it’s funny by the time hear it one thing and by the time it gets back to me it’s totally different from what I actually said or what I actually told to them and that’s what media is about it’s a fun little circle and its part of the world we live in. So no validation to that. I haven’t signed anything with any other company. Recently, I signed with Ring of Honor and that’s true and that’s it. I will be with Ring of Honor for another year maybe more years to come we’ll see. For the next year I will be with Ring of Honor where I consider home.”

On his future and ROH Best In The World: “I definitely see some kind of title around my waist. Right now, for those that don’t know and the hardcore fans, I’m in a number one contender match at Best in the World versus Mr. ROH Roderick Strong and Unbreakable Michael Elgin so we’ll see what happens. I’m planning on winning it so I could win the ROH world title whoever has it after Best in the World if its Jay Lethal or if its Jay Briscoe we’ll see only time will tell who wins that match and advance for the title. But it doesn’t matter because whoever wins it is just keeping that title warmed up until I get it. If that doesn’t work out as I planned then there is always the television title which we’ll see who has that title after Best in the World if its Jay Lethal or if its Jay Briscoe so there are a lot of questions to be had but at Best in the World we’ll definitely get answers on what is going on.”

TNA Impact Wrestling & ROH TV Ratings For This Week

The Wednesday, June 17th edition of TNA Impact Wrestling drew 476,000 viewers for the first and second airing of the show combined. Viewership was up from last week, as a combined total of 404,000 viewers tuned into the first and second airing of the show.

The first airing of Impact Wrestling this week delivered 374,000 viewers, and the replay that followed the ROH show drew 102,000 viewers.

This week’s edition of Ring Of Honor TV, which was the “Best in the World” pay-per-view “go-home” show, drew 272,000 combined viewers, down from last week’s show, which drew a combined total of 299,000 viewers.

ROH this week drew 172,000 viewers for the first airing, while the replay drew 100,000 viewers.

Early PPV Estimates For ROH’s Best In The World: Did They Break Even?

When Ring Of Honor announced the move to traditional pay-per-view back in May, with their first show (Best in the World) scheduled for June, the break even figure was set at 10,000 buys.

ROH’s parent company, Sinclair Broadcasting, reportedly viewed their initial PPV effort as an “exploration” into the pay-per-view market. The deal they signed called for the company to produce two pay-per-views this year, the “Best in the World” show in June and “Final Battle” in December, with the possibility of producing additional shows in 2015, depending on the numbers for their first two shows.

The early estimates coming out of the cable industry have ROH’s PPV debut drawing approximately 10,000 buys, meaning they hit their projected break-even point, or somewhere in that neighborhood. The number is looked at as a success, considering the fact that they only had a few weeks to promote the show.

Speaking of advertisements for “Best in the World,” there was said to be an “accident” of sorts, as the PPV providers reportedly apologized to ROH, as the advertisements for the show apparently only began running a day before the show took place.
