»Backstory:
Ring of Honor had always been a cult favourite. Ever since it's inception, fans had flocked to see the likes of CM Punk, Paul London, Samoa Joe, AJ Styles, among many more, all of whom were brought to major league attention by ROH. Recently, however, they started going into decline. With the ROH World belt frequentley changing hands dimished it's solid image. Owner, Cary Silkin, knew that things had to change, and fast. And so, a new guy known as Mr. Sloper was introduced to the fold, and made it his mission to give a new vision to ROH. He made some serious roster changes, in his eyes, necessary ones to the Ring's progression, and vacated all championships. He didn't the world famous Ring to be a cult favourite; he wanted bigger things, and knew that it was a case of biding his time...Soon enough, big things were to come for Ring of Honor. ----------

ROH.com Welcome To The Ring All the latest news and rumours, right here at ROH.com!
Well, Redemption draws really, REALLY near now. We're but a few days away from seeing the first, newly named event from our new booker, one Mr. Sloper. Some ROH mainstays are gone, but is believed to be in the intrest of making the company grow. Anyway, here's the latest:
VACANT ROH BELTS Yes, it's true. All of the belts in Ring of Honor have been vacated. It didn't work for WCW, but WCW blew. Anyway, there has been much debate over who should be crowned the new Ring World Champion, but many are thinking that one of the greatest champions in ROH history, Samoa Joe, will be the one having the belt round his waist soon enough.
REDEMPTION Many have wondered about Redemption. In fact, we believe the ROH Tag Team belts will be decided as well as seeing some new stars. Also, some matches will be held as to detirmine ROH World Championship contenders! Look out for that one.
That's all, keep checkin' back to ROH.com! ---------- Alright, I'm wanting some feedback. All will be read and taken into account. So yeah, any feedback is good feedback for me! Later.

I like the roster. Though I can't stand Indy wrestling, there has always been something about RoH that I kinda like. The roster is pretty good. As for the new ROH Champ? I say Albright or Harry Smith would be a kick ass ROH Champ. And for people worth signing, I would say go with people in the lower/mid card of TNA. people like Johnny Devine, Matt Bentley, Kazarian. Also since you have Harry Smith on your roster, I think you should go after TJ Wilson... I will be looking forward to reading more.

Hey man, thanks for the feedback, and I hope you continue to do so as I put up the shows (and maybe secure a TV Deal! ;D ) Anyway, in response to some of your feedback, I'm basically trying to keep within a certain budget, because with all open contracts, the shows can screw you up financially. Also, the only TNA talent I'll use are the ones with Japanese commitments, so they can't ditch me half way through.

Yeah... I still say you should try to get TJ if you can as him and Harry would definately fit in with ROH

Redemption Live from Elizabeth, New Jersey!
Dark Match Six Man Tag
Black Tiger IV, El Generico & Jimmy Jacobs vs. Adam Pearce, Puma & Harry Smith El Generico scored the pin on Puma in about seven minutes with the Brainbustah! Match Quality-77%|Crowd Reaction-38%|Overall-57%
*Some of the people in the crowd are going pretty crazy tonight, but some just sit in relative casual applause. At least ROH have some crazy lights to make up for the pyros which get some of those marks warmed up, but that's fine*
Jimmy Bauer: Good evening Ring of Honor fans and welcome to Redemption! It's gonna be a good show tonight, headlined by Jerry Lynn, making his ROH return against the Samoan Submission Machine!
Gary Michael Cappetta: Yes Jimmy, it's going to be just awesome! Also, we've got two of the most talented wrestlers today in Christopher Daniels and Bryan Danielson going one on one! Let's get it underway!
ROH Tag Team Championships Triange Tag Match The Briscoe Brothers vs. Kings of Wrestling vs. Generation Next This match was intense right from the get go, with each team desperately looking to be crowned Tag Team Champions. KoW started it early, using their experience as a team to wear down Generation Next. Hero landed the Hero's Welcome, only to be broken up with a huge frog splash from Jay Briscoe! Claudio Castagnoli and Jack Evans started going at it outside the ring, with Evans hitting a front flip into a hurricanrana, sending Castagnoli rolling across the floor, while in the ring Mark and Jay landed a Spike J-Driller to pick up the three and the tag team titles! Your winners, and NEW Tag Team Champions: The Briscoes! Match Quality-85%|Crowd Reaction-46%|Overall-65%
"The Return" *From outside the arena, the camera's show a limo pulling up. The crowd are just waiting to see who will get out, and out indeed does step Steve Corino! The King of Old School looks left and right before smirking a cocky smirk and walking into the arena* Overall-81%
Deubt Match Austin Aries vs. Alex Shelly These two men know each other incredibly well from wrestling with and against each other all over the world. Aries started things off, applying a strong headlock, which Shelly fought out with, sending Aries to the ropes. Aries jumped Shelly, hit the other ropes, Alex jumped over Aries before both men nailed each other with a clothesline! They got back up and began battling all over the ring, using their technical expertise. At one point, both men were on the top rope, with Shelly going for a superplex. Amazingly, the former ROH champion managed to reverse it into a top rope hurricanrana! As Austin finally got to his feet, he walked over, but Shelly cradled him and stole the three count! The winner: Alex Shelly! Match Quality-100%|Crowd Reaction-61%|Overall-80%
"God's Gift To ROH" *Standing backstage is Christopher Daniels. He looks deep into the camera before starting his speech*
Christopher Daniels: You will know me all as the Fallen Angel. Tonight, I'm taking on Bryan Danielson, a man who's blind arrogance makes him consider himself the best wrestler in the world today. Well, Danielson, I have come to save your soul. I'm God's Gift to Ring of Honor. Goodnight.
*Daniels bows to the camera as he walks off screen to get ready for his match* Overall-76%
Singles Match Christopher Daniels vs. Bryan Danielson The Fallen Angel walked out to a pretty huge reaction from the ROH crowd, for the right reasons. Himself and the former American Dragon proceeded to put on the finest pure wrestling match of the evening, and perhaps the year. They got it going with chain wrestling, exchanging fundemental holds before progressing on. Fallen Angel went for the last rights but Danielson reversed it and tackled Daniels to the ground, going for a Cattle Mutilation, but TNA's former X-Division champion rolled to his feet, going for the Angels Wings, but only for Danielson to reverse into a roll up! Daniels kicked out on two, finally landing the Angels Wings for the three! With the crowd going crazy, Daniels extended his hand to Danielson, who looked like accepting for a brief second, but changed his mind and walked to the back. Here is your winner: Christopher Daniels! Match Quality-100%|Crowd Reaction-67%|Overall-83%
"Making a Statement" *Backstage, Brent Albright and Colt Cabana are just talking about things, their competition, their goals when out of nowhere Jimmy Rave and Frankie Kazarian start laying into their opponents! Kazarian lands a brutal chair shot to Albright as Rave drives Cabana's head into a vending machine! Kazarian and Rave high five and walk off the scene* Overall-69%
Singles Match Homicide vs. Steve Corino In an unannounced match on the card, these two long time (real life) foes were sure to make it brutal. After all, Homicide is the reason Corino is partly deaf in his left ear. Homicide began just dishing out the punches, but the King of Old School was more than happy to comply to that, slugging it out with the Notorious 187! Corino started to get technical, getting in the butterfly lock, but Homicide countered with an ankle lock! Corino rolled out, sending 'Cide into the turnbuckle, but he came back and nailed a lariat out of nowhere! He covered but only got the two count. While asking the ref if he was sure, Corino came out of nowhere and rolled him up, hooking the tights for a victory! Afterwards, knowing he'd be added to the ROH World title match, Corino rolled out the ring and jumped the fan barricade, getting out of the arena! Here is your winner: Steve Corino! Match Quality-81%|Crowd Reaction-62%|Overall-71%
Main Event Singles Match Samoa Joe vs. Jerry Lynn Jerry Lynn, making his return to ROH, didn't make a great impression, taunting fans and telling him he was still the new f'n show, and Joe was old f'n S-t! Of course, the Samoan Submission Machine didn't take to kindly to it, pounding on Lynn from the bell. He picked him up, delivering a crushing suplex before rubbing his face against the mat! Luckily for himself, Lynn managed to avoid a facewash before taking advantage, rolling him into a school boy, but only getting a two. Both men got up, before Lynn rolled them into an inside cradle! Once again, he only got a two! Lynn knew he had to take it high risk, driving Joe with a back suplex and an amazing sprinboard clothesline. He went to the top rope, but Joe caught him and landed a huge Muscle Buster and locked in the Choke for a submission victory! After the match was over, Joe extended a hand, which Lynn took! The crowd applauded, but before they could soak it in, Lynn kicked Joe right in between the legs and walked out! The winner of this match; Samoa Joe! Match Quality-89%|Crowd Reaction-75%|Overall-82% ---------- Quick Results Dark Match: Tiger IV, El Generico & Jimmy Jacobs def. Pearce, Puma and Harry Smith. The Briscoes def. Kings of Wrestling & Generation Next for the ROH Tag Team Championships! Alex Shelly def. Austin Aries Christopher Daniels def. Bryan Danielson Steve Corino def. Homicide Samoa Joe def. Jerry Lynn

Ring Of Honor.com After a very hectic week in ROH, the event Redemption was finally on. Boasting some incredible wrestling matches and some storyline developments, 2692 people turned up, an incredible result. Onto the top news...
NO TURNING BACK There have been a lot of plans underway backstage for the next big event that ROH is staging. No Turning Back is bound to be yet another stellar show, but there are still plans in the works for the championships. The Pure title, it believes, will have something to do with Jimmy Rave, Frankie Kazarian, Brent Albright and Colt Cabana, as they were all involved in an angle at Redemption. More importantly, the ROH World title will probably be up for grabs. Original plans called for Samoa Joe to grab the belt, but with TNA on the verge of going global, the threat of Joe leaving is ever present. Management were thinking about the four big winners at Redemption, Alex Shelley, Samoa Joe, Christopher Daniels and Steve Corino facing off for the belt. ----------- Alright guys, let's hear some feedback about Redemption! Also reply to the poll. Thank you.

1 - twas a decent show, tbh though i would have preferred for Aries to be in the tag match instead of evans, but that's just cause i never really liked the team of evans and strong lol
also i wasn't a fan of the random teaming in the dark match, probably would have worked out better as a 6 man scramble match, but hell twas a dark match so it's not that important lol.
2- Danielson / Daniels or the triple threat tag match
3 - 6 man tag if any.
4- Delirious, cause i'm a Delirious mark lol.
