Ring Of Honor On Honor Club – Episode 1 (03.02.2023) (Wrestling Review)

Ring Of Honor

On Honor Club

Orlando, Florida

March 2nd, 2023

 

Singles Match
Mark Briscoe vs. Slim J (w/Ari Daivari & Mark Sterling)

First Ring Of Honor match sees an AEW faction that has a story line going. Odd choice but at least it was a Briscoe. Match itself was fine. Nothing special but it had its moments. 

2.5 / 5

Tag Team Match
The Kingdom (Matt Taven & Mike Bennett) (w/Maria Kanellis-Bennett) vs. The Infantry (Carlie Bravo & Shawn Dean)

Not a squash but The Kingdom look dominate. With their past in ROH as a big tag team and champs I wouldn’t be shocked at all to see them win the belts down the line. 

2.5 / 5

NJPW World Television Title Match
Zack Sabre Jr. (c) vs. Blake Christian

Sabre is just so smooth and effortless like I always say. This was a really good match. Blake looked good here and was good in ring but just nothing that isn’t already seen a ton anyway. 

4 / 5

Singles Match
Christopher Daniels vs. Rohit Raju (w/Jora Johl)

Daniels is a legend in ROH and he got a 5 minute forgettable match. I mean its fine and watchable but instantly forgettable. 

2.5 / 5

Singles Match
Konosuke Takeshita vs. Josh Woods (w/Mark Sterling)

Takeashita can’t have a bad match honestly. Woods has it to be a solid mid card heel guy and can wrestle too. This was a showcase between both guys. They came off looking really good and this was a fun 10 minute match. 

3.25 / 5

Non Title Six Man Tag Team Match
Joe Keys, LSG & Rex Lawless vs. The Embassy (Bishop Kaun, Brian Cage & Toa Liona) (w/Prince Nana)

Squash. 

.5 / 5

Singles Match
Ari Daivari (w/Mark Sterling & Slim J) vs. Metalik

Daivari wins and I have no clue why the Sterlings faction is being pushed so heavy on this show. Metalik is good but would have been better with a better guy to face. 

2 / 5

Tag Team Match
Madison Rayne & Skye Blue vs. The Renegades (Charlette Renegade & Robyn Renegade)

A match full of jobbers and Skye Blue who is on AEW a ton, isn’t signed, and isn’t treated as someone who wins anything important. 

2 / 5

Singles Match
Willow Nightingale vs. Lady Frost

Frost is really good and Willow has tons of charisma. Frost has that unique look and is way more agile than she gives off. The match itself was fine but I wouldn’t mind them doing more with either woman here. 

2.75 / 5

ROH World Title Match
Claudio Castagnoli (c) vs. AR Fox

Really good match here. AR Fox does high flying and just moves so effortlessly. Claudio clearly was retaining so this was more about just enjoying a good match with too great wrestlers. 

3.5 / 5
