World Champion: Yokozuna (6/11/1993)

Before the show, Bobby Heenan warns Bastion Booger that he shouldn’t stuff himself with so much food before a match. Why is he eating so much? BECAUSE IT’S ALL RAW. That doesn’t sound like a very valid reason to me.
Your hosts are Vince McMahon and Bobby Heenan. Read the rest of this entry
ROH: A Night of Appreciation (04.2002)
ROH: A Night of Appreciation
April 27, 2002
Philadelphia, PA
Murphy Rec Center
We see the Carnage Crew (HC Loc and Tony DeVito) getting together. HC Loc is the ref who got abused by the Natural Born Sinners on the first show. All I know about Tony DeVito is the jobber work he did on WWF TV in the 1990s. Anyways, they beat up a couple of ring crew guys and laugh it up.
Elsewhere, Quiet Storm wants to stretch Brian XL because he doesn’t like him. When Brian calls Storm a beeyotch, Chris Divine asks him what his problem is. This is Ring of Honor heat, bro.
Outside the Murphy Rec Center, Christopher Street Connection (wearing Da Hit Squad t-shirts) try to take over Da Hit Squad’s duty to hype the crowd before the show. As soon as Da Hit Squad find out and catch them making out, they chase these gay dudes back to NYC. For some reason, Dan Maff starts quoting Roddy Piper lines at the CSC.
Back to the Quiet Storm situation, he goes and finds American Dragon to teach his partner one of those freaky-looking submissions. While Brian XL is still talking crap, Dragon comes up behind him and stretches him real good.
Over in the Puerto Rican locker room, Tony DeVito enters the room on Da Hit Squad and Boogalou. He threatens Boogalou and walks out.
In other places, the old man from the Pennsylvania State Athletic Commission appears again to give the guys some details about who will be watching them tonight. How could they possibly care less? Eddie Guerrero gets a round of applause. This will be his last night in ROH and he’s already the WWF IC champ. The old man gives Spanky a hard time for wearing headphones while he’s talking. Anyways, this is a night of appreciation for Eddie Guerrero.
Your hosts are Donnie B and Steve Corino. Read the rest of this entry

Dario Cueto goes to see his brother in the cage. He holds a red sack full of seven golden medallions in his hand. Apparently, it was part of their father’s fortune that was seemingly lost. Once united, the medallions will make a warrior more powerful than the gods. Wait, has Lucha Underground turned into Dragon Ball Z now? Anyways, some of his luchadores will begin fighting over the medallions tonight. Dario may even bring a TV in here for his brother to enjoy the mayhem.

Philadelphia, PA
Murphy Rec Center
In the locker room, Christopher Daniels says he considers Ring of Honor as just another independent promotion. He says he should know – he’s been in every independent promotion in America. He also disses the code of honor and tells us he’s here to pin shoulders to the mat, not shake hands. Tonight, Christopher Daniels will prove to Bryan Danielson and Low-Ki that he is the best independent wrestler in the USA today. The only thing you can do about it is say your prayers.
Gotta love all the faggy dance music used here in the promos. That’s SOOO Rob Feinstein. Then everything changes to some crappy hardcore music. Riiiight.
We see Da Hit Squad again ready to hype the fans standing outside the Murphy Rec Center on Shunk Street – a couple blocks away from the ECW Arena. Yeah, the ROH fans are SO HYPE now.
Just so there’s no mistaking, here is the Code of Honor. I feel like Gary Michael Capetta should be reading this like he does the Wargames rules in WCW.
Elsewhere in the back, Quiet Storm wants to show Chris Divine how to do a crossface chickenwing. If he hurts Divine, Divine will have to take him outside and show him what it’s like. Well, Quiet Storm puts the hold nice and loose on Divine when Bryan Danielson comes walking by and REALLY shows Chris Divine how a crossface chickenwing feels. BEST IN THE WORLD~!
Your hosts are Donnie B and Steve Corino.

Lucha Underground Champion: Prince Puma (1/7/15)
Lucha Underground Trios Champions: Angelico, Ivelisse & Son of Havoc (4/22/15)
AAA Mega Champion: Alberto El Patron (12/7/14)
Johnny Mundo and Alberto El Patron head to Dario Cueto’s office to settle a disagreement on who should get the next Lucha Underground title shot. However, they do agree on one thing: Hernandez (Mundo calls him Fernandez) should NOT be getting a title shot because he hasn’t beaten either one of them. Cueto compromises by putting Mundo and El Patron in a match tonight. The winner faces Hernandez in a new number one contenders match – next week. As he’s been known to do, Cueto is almost salivating at the thought of finding out which one of these two is the absolute best.
Your hosts are Matt Striker and Brother Vampiro.

ROH: The Era of Honor Begins
February 23, 2002
Philadelphia, PA
Murphy Rec Center
If the name didn’t give it away, this is the first-ever Ring of Honor show. The original idea was that ROH would take the best of the American independent wrestling scene and put them all onto a mega huge super show once a month. But it’s not going to be like all the other sportz entertainment bullcrap promotions that the mainstream companies have jammed down your throats for the past five years. ROH also refuses to give our fans the outdated insulting gimmicks that we saw from a decade ago. In fact, the wrestlers here must abide by a code of honor in order to remain in this promotion. What could go wrong, AMIRITE?
Before anything gets started, we see Da Hit Squad hyping ROH to the tour buses coming in from NYC and Boston.
Your hosts are Donnie B and Steve Corino.

Dario Cueto and the Crew meet outside at some weird, dingy warehouse. He is very upset that the Crew couldn’t even secure the Trios championship when he basically handed it to them on a silver platter. Apparently they need some real motivation. Cueto opens the door and shows them whom call he calls his brother. A shadowy figure that appears to be behind bars stands up and gets really tall. We can’t see what or who it is though. Anyways, the Crew continue to slowly look up with their eyes and mouths wide open.

The Temple
We begin tonight’s program from wherever the black lotus is at. She’s still in her Mexican lucha libre training with El Dragon Azteca. She doesn’t know when he will let her fight, but she knows she is ready. She’s told that her anger is her greatest weakness, but Lotus feels it is her greatest strength. COME WITH ME. We get to see her fight off a bunch of dudes. This feels like Batman Begins to me. She gets into a back and forth struggle with El Dragon Azteca. When she fails, he knows she’s still not ready. Black Lotus looks very disappointed as we head over to the Temple.

From the roof of the Temple, Dario Cueto approaches Aerostar while he is gazing out into the heavens. Cueto reminds Aerostar that Drago gets his inspiration from the depths of hell. If Aerostar sees a shooting star, he should make a wish. Be careful what you wish for though. Everything in his Temple has a price.
