Honor Reigns supreme. Ring of Honor Roundup from Honor Rising to Best in the World Preview

Hello Smarks! This was a long time coming but I finally had time to analyze the progress of (In my Opinion)The best American televised promotion outside of WWE , Ring of Honor. This will be concurrent with my latest New Japan post considering that they have a talent share agreement and titles from both promotions are defended at both promotions. So, I'll be covering everything up to the end of May for both ROH and NJPW. This post is dedicated to the Ring of Honor side of things. Therefore, the following shows will be analyzed.

Honor Rising-
Night 1: Two major things happened: Jay Lethal joined Tetsuya Naito's stable: Los Ingovernables De Japon, and Tomohiro Ishii defeated Roderick Strong for the ROH TV Title.

Night 2:
Meiyu Tag and ReDRagon defeated the Bullet Club
The Elite win the NEVER OPENWEIGHT TRIOS TITLES, defeated Toru Yano and the Briscoes
Lethal defeated Tomoaki Homna to retain the ROH World Title.

14th Annivesary Show-
Back in February, ROH had its 14th Anniversary show. The highlights of the night included the triple threats for the ROH TV title (Ishii defeated Strong and Bobby Fish) and World Title(Jay Lethal defeating Adam Cole [BAY BAY] and Kyle O'Reilly, as well as a NEVER Openweight Trios title match between the Elite (Kenny Omega and the Young Bucks (Matt and Nick)) and the team of ACH, Matt Sydal, and current IWGP Jr. heavyweight Champion KUSHIDA.  All champions retained.

Supercard of Honor X-ROH's contribution to Wrestlecon!
Night 1: Dalton Castle had a big victory in a 6 man mayhem match coming off the heels of winning his feud with Silas Young.
Jay Lethal defeated DC Native Lio Rush.....and then COLT BOOM BOOM CABANA RETURNED TO ROH! YES! YES! YES! YES! YES!
Night 2:
Cabana defeated Lethal in a non title match
Bobby Fish defeated Roderick Strong in a 2 out of 3 falls match
Dalton Castle def. BJ Whitmer (I only include this because I like Castle)
Kyle O'Reilly FINALLY defeats Adam Cole in an ROH singles match.

Global Wars:
Dalton Castle is the No. 1 contender for the World TV Title
IWGP World Heavyweight Champion Tetsuya Naito def. Kyle O'Reilly
Okada and Moose def. Tanahashi and Elgin
Bullet Club def. Team ROH (W/NO SUPERKICKS?!?!?!?!?!??!)
Bobby Fish def. Tomohiro Ishii to become the NEW World Television Champion
Jay Lethal and Colt Cabana go to a no contest due to interference from The Bullet Club.
ADAM COE [BAY BAY] is the NEWEST member of BULLET CLUB!

War of the Worlds:

Bullet Club wins night 1, ROH wins night 2, ROH def. Bullet Club and Chaos Night 3
Adam Page Joins Bullet Club, Nick Jackson Injured.

General Comments: Until Global Wars, ROH has been the equivalent of the person in the passenger car on a motorcycle. Fun to ride, if you're not trying to be the one in control.

Global Wars and War of the Worlds really shook things up after Honor Rising started the momentum.

Also, COLT CABANA IS BACK! WHAT A TIME TO BE ALIVE!!!!!!!!!
