The Glory Ring, Ring of Honor, a veteran wrestling league that has existed for 19 years, ushered in this year's final PPV "Final Battle" on December 12, Beijing time, and was also the last dance before the official shutdown of ROH, and the company's five championship titles were all competed for, and three of the gold belts ushered in their new owners
The first to change hands was the ROH TV champion, when Rhett Titus stood out from the quadruple threat race with a single move, Standing Dropkick, "You deserve it!" Cheers immediately echoed through the audience, and the player, who had won the ROH doubles belt twice, finally managed to win his first solo title in the glory ring!
The ROH doubles champions have also changed hands in this year's Final Battle, mark Brisk and Jay Brisquet brothers have been involved in the title 11 times since their first victory in 2003, and this is their 12th time to the top, whether in terms of the number of wins or the number of days they have remained, the Brisque brothers are undoubtedly the No. 1 in the ROH doubles group
Of course, it is limited to ROH, and if it is extended to the entire independent community, there will certainly be many people who are not convinced, such as ftR, the current AAA doubles champion who made trouble on the stage after the game
The Brisk brothers told all fans after the match that this may be the end of an era, but it is by no means the end of the Brisk era, and they will accept the challenge of any doubles team other than ROH. As a result, Cash Wheeler and Dax Harwood immediately entered the arena and started a brawl, until a large number of security guards and staff came out to maintain order, and the tense situation tended to ease, so it should be only a matter of time before the two league doubles champions played against each other
The third belt of the change of ownership is naturally the ROH world championship title, in fact, strictly speaking, it can not be regarded as a "change of ownership", but final Battle did give birth to a new ROH world champion, and it was already nailed before the start of the game
Bandido, the then ROH world champion, was tested positive for covid-19 before the game and had to be temporarily removed from the lineup, but it was unreasonable to directly deprive him of the title, so the top brass re-invited the original ROH championship title that had withdrawn from the historical stage
The arduous confrontation between Jay Rissol and Jonathan Gresham is nothing else, just to highlight the glory itself, after the battle situation entered a white-hot situation, the backstage male and female players all came to the front of the stage to cheer for the two heroes; and when Jonathan finally locked the opponent and won the first ROH world championship in his career, both the players and the audience did not hesitate to give him a tidal wave of applause!
I believe that as long as conditions permit, Jonathan and Bandido, two veritable "ROH world champions", will definitely compete at some point in the future
In addition, the current ROH women's champion Rok-C quickly received Diana Prazzo's battle letter after successfully defending her title, and Diana, who is the current AAA women's champion, said that she will soon regain the IMPACT women's championship title from Mickey James, and hope to have a "winner-take-all game" with Rok-C at that time.
The most unexpected surprise of this competition is the sudden appearance of the "human monster" Adam Scherr, who has already participated sporadically in the independent world and has also fought against EC3, but this time he is obviously on the side of EC3, after a huge 8-player combo, Adam Scherr rushed to the ring and began to kill all four parties
While it's not known if he'll continue the plot with EC3 elsewhere, it's safe to say that the former WWE Global Champion hasn't given up wrestling and vowed to rewrite his story in the independent world
"When an era ends...
The other one is already on."
Winter is coming, but a warm spring is not far ahead, and ROH will be suspended until it restarts next April, when no matter how it is, it will surely usher in the dawn again, because even if ROH really does not exist, the glory of the ring will always be there!
