I can't say Im the biggest ROH fan but the first show was pretty good. Keep it realistic and give Alex Shelley a push and I'll be happy.

ROH.com Well, welcome again, wrestling fans. A lot of things have gone on in the before-hand of the next ROH event, No Turning Back. The event is sure to be a great one, but some big news first.
SAMOA JOE SITUATION It seems that, for now at least, Samoa Joe may be sticking with Ring of Honor. All Japan Pro Wrestling had Joe signed up to tour for them, meaning that Joe has priorities stating he cannot sign a written contract to TNA. Expect to see more of Joe, one of ROH's top home-grown stars!

NO TURNING BACK Live from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania!
Dark Match El Generico vs. Harry Smith El Generico continued his streak, nailing a perfect Split Legged Moonsault for the three count! Match Quality-80%|Crowd Reaction-40%|Overall-60%
*The arena in Philly is darkened as "Bat Country" by Avenged Sevenfold plays over the house speakers. The fans are buzzing, as the lights come up!*
Jimmy Bauer: Welcome, Ring of Honor fans, to No Turning Back! Tonight we'll see yet more amazing matches like Samoa Joe vs. Homicide in a 2 out of 3 falls match and Steve Corino vs. Christopher Daniels!
Gary Michael Cappetta: Oh yeah Jimmy, and don't forget Jay Lethal against Bryan Danielson and Austin Aries and The Briscoes defending their Tag Team Championships against Chris Hero and Claudio Castagnoli!
Jimmy Bauer: Yes, but first up we have Frankie Kazarian making his ROH in-ring deubt with Jimmy Rave against Brent Albright and Colt Cabana!
Tag Team Match Jimmy Rave & Frankie Kazarian vs. Brent Albright & Colt Cabana This match, stemming from last months Redemption event at which Kazarian and Rave attacked Albright and Colt, was fuelled with emotion. Albright started hammering away first, knocking Rave into the corner and hitting a picture perfect monkey flip. Rave started to come back, at one point attempting the Rave Clash, but Albright rolled out into a leg lock, nearly causing Rave to tap had it not been for Kazarian's handy timing. Rave tagged into Kazarian as Albright tagged to Cabana. Colt went for the clothesline, but Frankie ducked it, and hit the ropes, coming back and hitting a great enzui-guri! At one point, Albright regained control with a huge brainbuster suplex and Colt looked to put Kazarian away, but he managed to reverse the Colt 45 into a backslide, and put his feet on the ropes to get a 3 count! Here are your winners: Jimmy Rave & Frankie Kazarian! Match Quality-81%|Crowd Reaction-59%|Overall-70%
ROH Tag Team Championships The Briscoe Brothers © vs. The Kings of Wrestling The Briscoes, sporting their newly won Tag Team Championships, came out to boos and the Kings didn't fare much better with the crowd, but they were definitely hyped up. The action got off to a quick start with Castagnoli and Mark Briscoe trading holds on the mat, sliding all over the place trying to gain an advantage which neither of them could get. Jay got tagged in and took the fight to 'Double C', unloading with a barrage of forearm shots and backing him into the corner, setting him up for a superplex, but Claudio reversed on the top rope with a huge swinging neckbreaker! Both men struggled to their corners, as tags occurred. There, Chris Hero and Mark fought it out with both their partners recovering on the outside, with Hero hitting the Hero's Welcome onto the turnbuckle! Hero then began taunting, but fell victim to a huge dropkick from nowhere! With Claudio only just getting off his feet, Mark hit a Falcon Arrow and pinned Hero for the three! Winners, and STILL Tag Team Champions: The Briscoe Brothers! Match Quality-96%|Crowd Reaction-51%|Overall-73%
"A Shellshock!" Out from the back comes Alex Shelley. With a cocky smirk on his face, he climbs into the ring and circles around, taunting some of the fans before getting on the microphone*
Alex Shelley: Alright, Ring of Honor. Well, last month, I beat one of "your boys" Austin Aries in the match of the night, and now I'm looking for a new challenge; so, anyone in the back who wants to get Shellshocked, come on out here and I'll wrestle you one-on-one tonight!
*For about a minute nothing happens as Alex stares at the entrance ramp. Then, out of nowhere the theme tune of Jerry Lynn hits the speakers! Alex looks shocked as he steps back. Lynn appears on stage and nods with a serious look upon his face!* Overall-67%
Triple Threat Austin Aries vs. Bryan Danielson vs. Jay Lethal The fans were pretty hyped up for this one, knowing all three men are immense talents! Danielson was the favourite to win, and he proved it by using his masterful technical ability to weave around Aries. At one point, Aries managed to get Danielson in a sleeper hold, when Lethal hit a springboard dropkick, knocking both men to the mat! Lethal then went up and hit his diving headbutt on Aries, but Danielson pulled him off at the last second! Lethal went toe to toe with Danielson then, but the American Dragon took him down with a double leg slam. Aries then hit a 450 splash on Lethal, but once again Danielson broke it up, this time locking in the Cattle Mutilation! Just as Aries was about to tap, though, Lethal pulled Danielson off and his a crescent kick to the jaw! Aries got up and swang his arm full length, but Lethal ducked and nailed a Dragon Suplex for the upset win! Your winner: Jay Lethal! Match Quality-85%|Crowd Reaction-58%|Overall-71%
Singles Challenge Alex Shelley vs. Jerry Lynn Knowing these two men, this was going to be a great match, and they didn't disappoint. Going back and forth throughout the match, veteran Lynn and hybrid sensation Shelley were wearing each other with pure skill and athleticism. Shelley sweeped Lynn's leg from under him and aimed an elbow drop, but Lynn rolled out the way and kipped up, aiming his own elbow, but also missing! Both men got to their feet and attempted dropkicks, just kicking each others feet and then back to a vertical base! Shelley then whipped around, going for a russian legsweep, but Lynn blocked a hit a snapmare, then trying a dropkick, but Shelley rolled forward and avoided the hit to the back of the head! Shelly then rammed Lynn's head into the turnbuckle and ran in for a body splash, but Lynn evaded, kicked Shelley in the gut and drove him with a Cradle Piledriver for the three count! Afterwards, Shelley was not happy, and kicked the ring ropes a few times before heading to the back. Your winner: Jerry Lynn! Match Quality-96%|Crowd Reaction-51%|Overall-73%
"Bow To The King" *Waiting backstage, about to talk to the camera is Steve Corino! He looks into the camera and begins talking*
Steve Corino: Tonight, I'm in the main event of this show, the main event of No Turning Back. Y'know, that's just the way it should be, because I am the King of Old School, and everybody should bow to the King! Now, Christopher Daniels, you may be good, you may be a king among indys, but I have the experience. I have the wealth of wrestling knowledge. I don't have these scars all over my body for no reason, and tonight, you'll find that out.
*Corino smirks to the camera before walking off screen* Overall-86%
2 out of 3 Falls Match Samoa Joe vs. Homicide Just before the event, it was announced that this already anticipated match up would be a hardcore contest as well! Joe came out to roaring cheers, as did Homicide as they got it underway! The first part of the match was pure wrestling as Joe and Homicide traded holds (which yes, is rare for 'Cide to do) as they tried to one up each other. In fact, within the first five minutes Joe was going for the Muscle Buster, but Homicide fought it off and connected with a top rope lariat! He covered, but only got a two count, prompting him to go after a chair! Finding his steel companion, he slid back into the ring and aimed the chair at Joe's head, but Joe ducked, hit the ropes and hit the flying boot, putting the chair back into Homicide's face! Joe then took the advantage, locking 'The Notorious 187' in a cobra clutch before throwing him over his head in a german suplex type move! 'Cide went to the outside to recover, and Joe allowed him as he sweetened up the crowd. Homicide slid into the ring as Joe ran at him, but Homicide revealed a weapon he'd picked up; a DVD player! Drilling it into Joe's face and busting him wide open, Homcidie then connected with the West Brooklyn Lariat for the first fall! The winner of the FIRST fall: Homicide! Allowing two minutes rest, Joe soaked up some of his blood using his towel as the fans ate up the raw action they had been witnessing. As the bell rang again, Homicide went in for the kill, but Joe moved sending 'Cide shoulder first into the ring post! Homicide returned the favour by dropkicking Joe in the knee, sending the 'Samoan Submission Machine' down, but as 'Cide went for a shining wizard, Joe rolled out of the way, before trapping Homicide and throwing him into the corner with a brutal belly-to-belly! Quickly covering, Joe picked up the second fall at 15:57! The winner of the SECOND fall: Samoa Joe! Now, it all came down to whether one man could outlast the other. After the two minutes to up, it turned into a huge brawl, with punches being thrown left and right! Homicide pushed Joe back into the corner before unloading with 10 consecutive forearm smashes before hitting a tornado clothesline! 'Cide went for the bulldog, but Joe resisted, sending him crashing to the mat. Homicide then went back to his DVD player, swinging it with all his strength, but Joe saw it coming and used the chair to smash the DVD player back into Homicide's face! Putting the DVD player on top of the chair, Samoa Joe put Homicide onto the top rope and delivered a devestating Muscle Buster onto both weapons, finally pinning Homicide for the amazing victory! The winner of the THIRD fall, and the match: Samoa Joe! Match Quality-96%|Crowd Reaction-68%|Overall-82%
Main Event Singles Match Christopher Daniels vs. Steve Corino After the amazing match witnessed before hand, Daniels and Corino had to put on a great show. Fortunately, although not outshining Joe and Homicide, these two did just that. Corino started off by dominating Daniels with rest holds and beating him down onto the canvas with stomps. Daniels fought back to his feet and launched Corino over the top rope and too the floor before amazing the fans with the Best Moonsault Ever to the outside! Rolling Corino back into the ring, he went for the cover but the King of Old School kicked out at two. Daniels then went to the top rope, hitting a great cross body block, which Corino rolled through into the cover, but once again only managed a two count! Corino and Daniels stayed evenly matched with each man with Corino reversing the Angels Wings and Daniels reversing the Old School Expulsion! With the fans going crazy over a great match at the end of a great show, Daniels locked in the Last Rites, but on the twist, Corino didn't go the floor and instead pushed Daniels to the ropes, and the Fallen Angel was met with a Superkick! Corino just fell backwards on top of him as the ref counted to three! Corino rolled out the ring and literally crawled up the ramp, exhausted from the match as Daniels was lead on the mat at the end of the show! Here is your winner: Steve Corino! Match Quality-80%|Crowd Reaction-80%|Overall-79% ---------- Quick Results Frankie Kazarian & Jimmy Rave def. Brent Albright & Colt Cabana The Briscoe Brothers def.

ROH.com Alright, it was yet another really good show from the Ring of Honor group at No Turning Back. In fact, the name was pretty much true, as after this new guy has come in over the past two months, we've been making some good money, and some good public image. Of course, now ROH are trying to sign a TV deal, and if one is chosen then we'll have a petition on what the name of the show is going to be! I'm going to go onto some news about the next event...
SURVIVAL OF THE FITTEST Survival of the Fittest could be ROH's biggest challenge yet. Resting on this pay per view, if it's a third consecutive good one, could be a television deal! Plans have been circulating, saying that the belt should be decided between Samoa Joe and Steve Corino, but Christopher Daniels, Homicide and Jerry Lynn may all be saying goodbye to sign written contracts to TNA at the end of this month. So in fact, the title may not be decided, or it will in a bigger match situation. Also, the Pure championship will definately be decided, and there are definately plans to hold a battle royal to crown him. We'll just have to wait and see! ---------- Alright guys, I've really been liking the feedback I've been getting recently, and I'll keep this diary going for as long as I can! I'll have SOTF card up in a few minutes.

Survival of the Fittest Confirmed Matches
Singles Match Bryan Danielson vs. Alex Shelley
Singles Match Christopher Daniels vs. Jerry Lynn
ROH Pure Championship 20 Man Battle Royal
Main Event Steve Corino vs. Samoa Joe ---------- ROH has come to terms on one contract. Former ECW announcer and personality Don "Cyrus" Callis, has been signed to be an announcer. This is bad news for Gary Michael Cappetta, who up until this point was the announcer. However, if a TV deal is secured, we believe Cappetta will sit at the table for it. ---------- Feel free to comment the diary in general, make predictions on the card or whatever you want. Thanks!

"Kings Reign Supreme" We cut backstage to see the Kings of Wrestling, Claudio Castagnoli and Chris Hero standing around, looking smug as always*
Chris Hero: Good evening Ring of Honor fans. In fact, it is you who should be honored. For you see, tonight, you see the Kings ascend to the throne at last. Me and Double C have fought long and hard to be ROH Tag Team Champions, and those two peasants, the Briscoes are tarnishing the titles. It will be our priveledge to finally...Reign...Supreme!
*And with that, they start doing their final warm ups for their match, which is next!* Overall-59%
ROH Tag Team Championship The Briscoe Brothers © vs. Kings of Wrestling With this rivalry really starting to kick into a fued, both of these teams were trying to get the upper hand, and put on an incredible match in the process. Castagnoli started with some of his signature moves, like the corkscrew forearm to the back, but couldn't keep Mark down. Hero pulled Mark from the ring and started brawling outside and was soon joined by Double C, only to have Jay come flying over the ropes with a suicide tope, knocking every man down! Hero got the tag and went to work on Mark, who used a poke in the eyes to create an opening for him to go and tag in Jay. Jay was on fire, reversing the Hero's Welcome into a roll up, but was kicked out! Tagging out to Double C, who used his size to attack Jay with power, including a brutal looking powerbomb, but Jay kicked out! Double C went to the top rope, but Mark interfered, landing a dropkick that sent Castagnoli tumbling into his partner on the apron! One Jay Driller later, and the Briscoes are still the ROH Tag Team Champions! Winners, and STILL ROH Tag Team Champions: The Briscoe Brothers! Match Quality-96%|Crowd Reaction-54%|Overall-75%

*Once again, the Pure Championship will be decided next!* Overall-69%
ROH Pure Championship 20 Man Battle Royal Austin Aries vs. Brent Albright vs. Colt Cabana vs. Davey Richards vs. Delirious vs. Doug Williams vs. El Generico vs. Frankie Kazarian vs. Harry Smith vs. Jack Evans vs. Jay Lethal vs. Jimmy Jacobs vs. Jimmy Yang vs. KENTA vs. Jimmy Rave vs. Matt Sydal vs. M-Dogg 20 vs. Nigel McGuinness vs. Ricky Reyes vs. Roderick Strong This match was one of the most anticipated on the card, and rightly so. All 20 men started in the ring, causing a manic atmosphere as everyone was throwing lefts and rights; although Ring of Honor is known for it's technical prowess, there wasn't much space for it. After about two minutes, KENTA was in trouble, but managed to headscissor Doug Williams out to the floor, and it coincided with the elimination of Jimmy Yang by Jay Lethal! Elimination #1: Doug Williams, Elimination #2: Jimmy Yang! With the space becoming increasingly more, Jimmy Rave took advantage of Ricky Reyes' attempt of a top rope move, dropkicking his legs and sending him tumbling to the outside! Elimination #3: Ricky Reyes! Next to go, courtesy of a vicious suplex by Frankie Kazarian was Jimmy Jacobs, who was followed by Colt Cabana throwing Harry Smith over the top! Eliminations #4 & 5: Jimmy Jacobs & Harry Smith! El Generico was on fire, hitting a split legged moonsault on M-Dogg 20, but then missed his running yakuza kick, allowing Jack Evans to take advantage and throw him the the floor! Elimination #6: El Generico! Following that eliminations saw the emergeance of Austin Aries in the battle royal, taking down everyone back and forth, including a huge lariat to M-Dogg 20 which sent him to the ropes. While Aries turned to fight another, Jay Lethal snuck in with a clothesline of his own, sending M-Dogg to the floor! Elimination #7: M-Dogg 20! Feeling cocky, like it's a difference, Jimmy Rave began slapping people around, only to get himself thrown over the top by KENTA, with Jay Lethal making an elimination of Nigel McGuinness on the other side. Eliminations 8 & 9: Jimmy Rave & Nigel McGuinness! Roderick Strong became one of Lethal's victims next, falling to a fireman's carry slam over the ropes. Elimination #10: Roderick Strong. Jack Evans used his high flying prowess, basically flipping over the top of a charging Davey Richards, eliminating the brash rookie with a killer superkick! Elimination #11: Davey Richards! Cabana was still running riot, eliminating Delirious and very soon after, throwing the dominant Jay Lethal over the top about a second later! As is that wasn't enough, Jack Evans was then pushed to the floor by Classic, making it three in about twenty seconds! Eliminations #12, 13 & 14: Delirious, Jay Lethal & Jack Evans! With the people becoming less and less, Austin Aries managed to throw Matt Sydal gut first into the ring ropes and then punch him off the apron to eliminate him from the match! Elimination #15: Matt Sydal! However, straight afterwards Cabana snuck up from behind, also throwing Aries over the top! Elimination #16: Austin Aries! With Cabana on a role, he avoided Frankie Kazarian, and eliminated him!! Elimination #17: Frankie Kazarian! With Colt Cabana on a role, many fans got behind him and expected him to win the match, as he started to lay into Brent Albright. As he nearly had Albright over the ropes, KENTA landed a huge knee to the back of the head before clotheslining him over the top to the suprise of everyone! Elimination #18: Colt Cabana! Down to Albright and KENTA, the fans were eating it up, ready to see a new Pure champion crowned! Instead of the technical match the fans knew they were capable of, they did something the fans were equally as happy to see; a brawl! With punches and kicks to the face, abdomen and knees of each man, Albright took the advantage and ran at KENTA, but KENTA lifted him up and over! With KENTA thinking he had won, and for a brief second the fans, Albright grabbed the Japanese sensation from the apron and threw him over the floor to win the Pure championship!! Here is your winner, and NEW ROH Pure Champion: Brent Albright! Match Quality-74%|Crowd Reaction-48%|Overall-61%
Singles Match Bryan Danielson vs. Alex Shelley After the 20 Man Battle Royal, Shelly and Danielson had a lot to live up to. Luckily for both men, they're two of the premier athletes in Ring of Honor, and had a blistering battle. Danielson took advantage early, using his vast knowledge of holds to wear down the arms of Shelley for the Cattle Mutilation, but the arrogant star realized this and managed to come back by throwing Danielson over the ropes and sliding out, throwing the American Dragon into the fan barricades and punishing him that way. Back in the ring, Shelley went for the move popularized by Spanky, Sliced Bread #2, but Danielson reversed, instead hitting a delayed vertical suplex followed by an ankle lock, which Shelley rolled out of and then went for the Shellshock, but Danielson reversed and took Shelley down, locking in the Cattle Mutilation! Shelley was screaming out in pain and just about to tap, but instead rolled with all his might, trapping Danielson in a pin and getting the 1-2-3! Here is your winner: Alex Shelley! Match Quality-100%|Crowd Reaction-73%|Overall-86%
"It's All About Survival" *Backstage we see a sombre looking Homicide walking through the corridors; without warning though, another figure steps in front of him...the King of Old School, Steve Corino!
Steve Corino: Why the long face, Homicide? Aren't you the 'Notorious 187', the badass that I've faced in No-Ropes, Barbed Wire matches in the past?
Homicide: Get outta my way, man. I'm not in the mood.
Steve Corino: Haha, maybe it's because Samoa Joe kicked your ass at No Turning Back and now you're going to *bleep* off out the company.
Homicide: Well, I look forward to your match with Joe tonight, ese. Looks like it's gonna be a good one, especially seeing you get YOUR ass kicked.
Steve Corino: ...Hahaha...no, 'Cide, you just don't get it. Everyone knows that you're going to desert the company that made you famous, ROH, in favour of TNA. So I hope that you continue to watch, because when I become ROH champion, you can look on with no title in TNA. Over here, it's all about survival and you...are extinct.
*Huge tension between the two as 'Cide looks like he's about to beat the crap out of Corino. The King of Old School just smriks and walks off, with Homicide looking on...* Overall-73%
Singles Match Christopher Daniels vs. Jerry Lynn With what was sure to be a high risk, technically sound bout, the fans were pretty hyped up about it. Lynn went to work right away, using a handy poke to the eyes to gain the advantage before laying into Daniels with some big right hands. Daniels reversed a clothesline into a huge slam, dropping the elbow, but Lynn kipped up afterwards and hit a spinning wheel kick right to the chin! Daniels seemed to be reeling, but a swift dropkick later and he was back in control! Nailing the Angel's Wings, Daniels decided to go for the Best Moonsault Ever, but Lynn narrowly avoided it, picking up the Fallen Angel and delivering a TKO! Lynn made the cover, but got the 2.99999! Daniels got back to his feet and unleashed a torrent of fists on Lynn, but the former New F'n Show took Daniels of his feet with a spinebuster and a quick pin, resting his feet on the ropes for extra leverage to get the victory! Quickly bailing from the ring, Lynn backed up the entrance ramp as Daniels looked on. The winner of this bout: Jerry Lynn! Match Quality-100%|Crowd Reaction-80%|Overall-90%
Main Event Singles Match Samoa Joe vs. Steve Corino With two of the most popular athletes in ROH about to go at it, the fans were ready. After the incredible match they just witnessed, Joe and Corino got ready to beat the hell out of each other. Both men are pretty stiff workers, as they demonstrated in the opening minutes, with chops flying back and forth between both men before Joe backed up the King of Old School and pounded the hell out of him. Slumping into the corner, Joe began the face wash, before taking of to the ropes, but Corino avoided the big face wash, sending Joe crashing into the ropes. Corino tried to capitilize with a school boy, but Joe kicked out. Corino then began working over Joe with stomps and elbows to the lower back, before hitting a back suplex and then a second rope elbow drop, but Joe kicked out again! With the fans rallying behind the Samoan Submission Machine, he made a comeback before both men tore down the house with a three minute long exchange of solid chops! Joe ended the sequence with a tornado clothesline, laying both men out on the canvas with welts appearing on their chests. Finally, they both got to their feet with Corino raking the eyes of Joe before hitting the superkick, but Joe kicked out again! Joe got to his feet and aimed a huge lariat, but this time the former ECW champion was ready as he used it for a crucifix pin, defeating Joe in an amazing main event! Here is your winner: Steve Corino! Match Quality-86%|Crowd Reaction-80%|Overall-83% ---------- Quick Results The Briscoes def. Kings of Wrestling to retain the Tag Team Championships Brent Albright won a 20 Man Battle Royal to become the new Pure Champion! Alex Shelley def. Bryan Danielson Jerry Lynn def.

ROH.com A whole lotta stuff has been going down in ROH since Survival of the Fittest went off the air. After what was an awesome show, trouble was afoot backstage...
ROH LOSES FIVE The company Total Non-Stop Action Wrestling, commonly known as TNA, credited for taking ROH wrestlers, has gone global. Why this is good for the wrestling industry, not so for Ring of Honor. In fact, Christopher Daniels, Jerry Lynn, Frankie Kazarian and Homicide all signed written contracts, leaving ROH without some of it's bigger stars. Making up for this loss is the signing of former ROH star AJ Styles. In another loss, after his elimination from the Pure championship battle royal, Nigel McGuinness has checked himself back into rehab.
MYSTERY SIGNING Cary Silkin along with head booker Mr. Sloper, have announced a pretty massive signing to the Ring of Honor roster, but it's one they are keeping top secret. All shall soon be revealed!
TV INTEREST Although after Survival of the Fittest could be remebered as a bad night for Ring of Honor, some people would prefer to remember the positive things, and nothing is more positive than ROH finally being offered a television deal! After more than five years, they have been offered a Prime Time slot on Wednesdays! However, they need the fans help; shortlisted beneath are some name ideas for the show, and you get to vote! ---------- 1: ROH Adrenaline ** 2: ROH TV * 3: The Ring 4: HONOR * 5: Wednesday Chaos ---------- I want everybody who replies to this thread to vote for one of the names. Voting will end this Tuesday. My vote, which does count, has gone to my personal favourite ROH TV, but the rest is up to you! For every vote for a * will be placed by the name you vote for.

Booo this diary Is going way downhill for me, first you don't even have the annual SOTF Tourney then you have a TV deal. Keep It realistic man! Anyway If I had to choose a name I would choose HONOR, I just love that name
