The HDNet shows opens up with the crowd buzzing from the Pay Per View a few weeks back as James’ music plays and he comes down to the ring with a microphone in hand looking happy and for filled.
“After 1 year of painstaking work, working into the early hours of the morning trying to put together shows that people will enjoy Ring Of Honor celebrated its first anniversary with a bang. We had title matches galore, we had great pure wrestling, and we had the hardcore nature as well. However we must move on from the past and look towards the future, if you must the 2010 Darkside Fantasy Draft then you missed some major trades between certain companies. I would first like to say a big thank you to Christopher Irvine and Arn Anderson and Terry Funk for everything they have done for Ring Of Honor, putting it where it is today, Thank you to the Freebirds, Amazing Red and Psicosis for all they have done as well.

So boys and girls in the back lace those boots up tight because you’re in for one hell of a ride”
James drops the microphone as the crowd start to chant for ROH with James nodding in approval and pointing to the mat which has the ROH letters on it. James looks to leave the ring when all of a sudden
(Play H)
HHH comes out to a mixed reaction from the crowd with his king of kings shirt on, H looks at James and starts walking down the ring spitting the water as he usually does and then gets in the ring focusing all the time on James
“So this is Ring Of Honor, shouldn’t be too hard to become king of this promotion I mean…
“Stop it right there Triple H! You listen and you listen good, this isn’t like other companies you cant just get your way backstage and hope it looks good for you on the show, H you have to earn your spot in Ring Of Honor, Randy Orton went through months of hell before he became champ. Austin Aries and Tyler Black went through hell for months and months to claim the tag team championships so Triple H before you say anything you better look around. These are the greatest fans of all pro wrestling they tell you what is good and bad and Triple H you better wrestle good because if you don’t the fans might turn on you for GOOD! Triple H you’re a fantastic wrestler no doubt but you need to earn your stripes here in Ring Of Honor, make an impact show the world who the real Triple H is then maybe you can start trash talking, oh and here is a present for you Triple H that may remind you of who you are”
James looks under the ring and pulls out a sledgehammer to which Triple H begins to smile, James hands Triple H the sledgehammer and smiles at him nodding in approval, Triple H smiles as well picking up the sledgehammer and looking at it and with no remorse smashes James over the head with the sledgehammer, Triple H looks around and begins to smile dropping down to his knees putting the microphone to his mouth
“Now you listen to me, don’t you ever disrespect the king of kings, I am your greatest asset in Ring Of Honor now if you don’t respect that then I will have to take matters into my own hands”
Triple H drops the microphone on the chest of James and the lifts the sledgehammer high showing the crowd who boo Hunter. James is seen knocked out cold as Triple H stands there fixated and then leaves the ring with sledgehammer in hand as the crowd are heard booing Triple H but he just smiles and walks to the back as James slowly starts to move and crawls out of the ring and walks to the back with help from other wrestlers but James has a sly look on his face.
Ring Of Honor Pure Championship
Nigel McGuinness (C)
Vs
Claudio Castagnoli
McGuinness coming off an impressive win at 1st Year Anniversary beating both Arn Anderson and Finlay to retain the championship belt, McGuinness has that cocky look about him strutting around backstage and in the ring that he is the greatest of all time, telling everyone that James wasn’t the one to trade Anderson, it was Arn himself who was scared of McGuinness and everything he has done to him, McGuinness has a lot of arrogance and confidence causing him to start getting louder boos from the crowd as he starts ripping on them telling him that he isn’t and will not be as great as they are. McGuinness is stopped backstage but Claudio Castagnoli who whispers something into his ear to which McGuinness likes and walks off.
Later in the evening Castagnoli and McGuinness are facing off one on one when the bell sounds and Castagnoli lays down on the floor and McGuinness covers him for 1…2…NO! Castagnoli kicks out and starts to smile at McGuinness who runs at Castagnoli but he is taken down with a vicious European uppercut, McGuinness gets to his feet and is taken down with the ricola bomb as Castagnoli pins McGuinness for 1…2…3! The crowd are loving the fact that McGuinness got screwed by Castagnoli shouting at McGuinness that he got screwed. Castagnoli then takes a microphone
“You see McGuinness what you don’t know is that before this match I had a secret deal with James, if I beat you tonight I get a Pure championship shot against you at Take No Prisoners, so I beat you without breaking a sweat here tonight but at Take No Prisoners you will be embarrassed one again but this time I will be taking your title and that a promise because I am Claudio Castagnoli and I am VERY European”
Castagnoli begins to smile and laugh at McGuinness who is irate at this decision but nothing can be changed as the match was set in stone for Take No Prisoners.
Singles Match
Matt Morgan
Vs
Triple H
Matt Morgan is seeing apoplectic with rage in the locker room throwing things around, getting in people’s faces and just filled with anger, Morgan’s opponents on HDNet stood no chance as he decimated all of them just manhandling them and always putting the exclamation point in with the hellivator. Morgan is throwing wrestlers all over the place and he stands in the ring asking for someone from the back to give him a real challenge but no-one comes so Morgan leaves the ring and walks to the back looking for a challenge himself, Morgan is seen walking around backstage and no-one dares go near him. Later on in the night Morgan has had enough and decides to leave the arena and as he is about to get into his car he is attacked by a masked individual holding a sledgehammer, the masked man just batters Morgan down and throws him into his car leaving him on the ground. The sledgehammer is dropped on the chest of Morgan as the masked man walks away with Morgan laying there motionless.
The following week Morgan is seen with bandages around his head and stomach from the vicious attack he sustained, Morgan is seen limping down to the ring and calls for a microphone where he just looks at the entrance ramp and just shouts for whomever to attack him to come out. Time passes by and no-one comes out as Morgan is about to leave the ring but is attacked from behind by the masked man again with a sledgehammer dropping him down to the mat, the masked man picks up Morgan and drops him down with the double underhook facebuster, the masked man then drops the sledgehammer on the chest of Morgan and leaves the ring leaving Morgan for the second week down and out.
The following week we see Morgan looking paranoid walking down hallways with caution but this time holding the sledgehammer that was used to attack him, scaring anybody that walks passed him asking him if they know who this masked man is. Morgan gets no answers from anybody as Morgan later on has a match with Lance Storm, in a hard fought match and Morgan is about to get the win with the hellivator but again the masked man takes Morgan down from behind with a sledgehammer but this time he waits for Morgan to get to his feet going to the knockout shot but Morgan catches him around the throat and takes him down with a massive chokeslam. Morgan falls down on the mat exhausted and slowly crawls over to the masked man and rips the mask off but the man covers his face up with his hoodie and runs to the back as Morgan stands there with a sledgehammer in one hand and the mask in another.
The final week before Take No Prisoners, Morgan is seen to be recovering well and comes down to the ring to confront this man holding the sledgehammer and the mask he ripped off the week before, Morgan is standing there about to talk when he is blindsided again by this masked man who tales him down with a sledgehammer shot to the back of the head knocking Morgan down and out, the masked man then drops down the hood and takes of the mask and it is none other than Triple H to which the crowd are heard in a mixed reaction. HHH is seen smiling to the crowd as he picks the microphone up from Morgan’s hand and slowly begins speaking into it
“I am the cerebral assassin, and you’re my first victim, James tells me to make an impact and I have, at Take No Prisoners you will fall at the feet of the King Of Kings because I am THAT DAMN GOOD!”
Triple H picks up the sledgehammer and poses to the crowd with it before dropping the sledgehammer on the chest of Morgan and leaving the ring, Morgan begins to stir and looks ready to burst a blood vessel as these two men will meet one on one at Take No Prisoners.

Three Way Dance
Matt Hardy (C)
Vs
Petey Williams
Vs
Jack Swagger
Matt Hardy coming off a big title defence win back at 1st Year Anniversary is looking for a potential new challenger for his championship belt but Matt Morgan still thinks he can beat Hardy so they have a rematch on HDNet for the championship which Matt Hardy wins and successfully retains his championship belt but after the match Swagger runs down into the ring and takes down Hardy stomping on him and then lifting him up and down with the gutwrench powerbomb, Swagger is standing over Hardy with the championship held high when he is spun around and elbowed in the face by Petey Williams who starts to attack Swagger and throws him into the ropes taking him down with a canadian destroyer to which the crowd start cheering for Williams who picks the championship belt up and looks at it and then motions for the belt dropping it on the chest of Hardy and leaving the ring.
The following week Hardy is in the ring with a microphone looking at his championship belt and nodding to the crowd who are cheering for Hardy
“I guess I am reaping my own words, I wanted competition and the former champ and one of ROH’s new acquisitions stepped up to the challenge. Being a world champion means you’re the best in the business and you are the company man so you need to prove yourself to the fans that you deserve to be where you are and when I beat Swagger back at Glory By Honor in March that was the case, but Petey I have never faced you before and that is the new challenge I am looking for, James has given me the power to choose my opponent at Take No Prisoners for the Full Impact Pro World Heavyweight Championship, I think I have made my decision, I will be facing…”
(Play Swagger)
“You will be facing me at Take No Prisoners because I never got my rematch for the championship that I lost. I am the rightful number one contender and I proved that last week, I got attacked from behind by a second rate wrestler that isn’t even in my league. Matt Hardy your opponent at Take No Prisoners is standing right in front of you and the All American American will be taking back what is rightfully his”
Hardy looks shocked that Swagger has interrupted him but then starts to walk around the ring almost in a methodical manner just planning his next move when he drops the championship and slides out of the ring and goes straight after Swagger as both men start to slug it out with Swagger going for the gutwrench powerbomb but Hardy counters pushing Swagger down the aisle way and into the ringside area as both men get into the ring and start battling out with each other as Hardy goes for the twist of fate but Swagger counters pushing Hardy into the turnbuckle, Hardy spins around and is taking down with an overhead belly to belly suplex by Swagger who gets to his feet and starts taunting to the crowd as Swagger picks up a microphone
“Don’t be a fool Hardy, you can’t back out of this match, hold the championship close to you and hug it all you can because at Take No Prisoners, I will be getting that championship back!”
With that Petey Williams runs down to the ring and attacks Swagger again as both men start slugging it out with each other and Swagger lifts Williams up and down with the gutwrench powerbomb, Swagger starts to taunt to the crowd again as Hardy is seen getting back to his feet and is standing behind Swagger as he turns around as is dropped down with a twist of fate from Hardy who gets to his feet with the crowd chanting for him. Hardy picks up the championship and then picks up the microphone
“So the match is made Swagger Vs Hardy I have no problem with that all, but I can do what I want with this match so at Take No Prisoners it will be Jack Swagger Vs Matt Hardy Vs Petey Williams in a three way dance for the Full Impact Pro World Heavyweight Championship, if you want the championship back Swagger you will have to beat both of us!”
Hardy raises the championship belt up high as the crowd are chanting for Hardy as Hardy leaves the ring and walks to the back and Swagger and Williams are on the floor looking at each other and then looking at Hardy who is walking to the back.
Ring Of Honor World Tag Team Championships
Austin Aries And Tyler Black (C)
Vs
The American Wolves
After a successful championship defence at 1st Year Anniversary beating tow of the most established teams in tag team history Aries and Black are full of confidence, they are seen walking backstage when they walk into the American Wolves Davey Richards and Eddie Edwards, all four men stare at each other before walking off as the Wolves prepare for there first match back on Ring Of Honor facing the team of Lance Storm and Doug Williams and after a hard fought match the American Wolves pick up the victory. After the match the American Wolves start beating up Storm and Williams until Age of the Fall comes in and starts attacking the American Wolves but then Aries and Black run down into the ring to save the American Wolves from the attack. AOTF run to the back leaving the American Wolves and Aries and Black, after an intense staredown Aries and Black extend the hands to the Wolves but they cold shoulder both of them and leave the ring walking straight to the back, Aries and Black look at each other confused and then look at the tag belts and realise why they done that.
The next week Aries and Black are in tag team action facing the Briscoe’s and after a hard fought match then went almost 30 minutes Aries and Black get the win, after the match Aries and Black are seen calling for the American Wolves to come out and answer for what they did but they don’t come out, Aries and Black leave the ring and walk to the backstage area but the American Wolves are nowhere to be found as Aries and Black start to get frustrated over this issue.
The final week before Take No Prisoners Aries and Black start the ROH on HDNet show off with a sit down protest in the ring and say they are not moving till The American Wolves come out and answer to both Aries and Black and after a while the American Wolves come out and all four men lock eyes in the centre of the ring, Aries goes to speak but Eddie Edwards just slaps Aries in the face and instantly a mass brawl begins with all four men just attacking each other with the crowd split on who to cheer for when
(Play James)
“Hold it right there you four, now American Wolves I see your heeding the advice I gave to one Triple H, make an impact and show what you have got in ROH and I like that, you see our PPV this Sunday is called Take No Prisoners and the tagline is that it’s the new guys are getting a chance in this promotion and event, well Aries and Black I know them very well and they are willing to fight anyone, anywhere and at anytime and since we don’t have a Tag Team Championship Match and the nature of this PPV is the young guys getting a chance I say at Take No Prisoners Aries and Black will defend the Tag Team Championships against The American Wolves”
All four men just stare at each other as the American Wolves extend the hands out this time almost in respect but Aries and Black just cold shoulder them giving them the exact same treatment as the leave the ring holding the championship belts as the American Wolves stand in the ring knowing there in for a fight come Take No Prisoners.

Fight Without Honor War
James As the Referee
The Age Of The Fall (Kevin Nash, Doug Williams and Lance Storm)
Vs
The Japanese Invasion (Hiroshi Tanahashi, Kiyoshi and Hiryoshi Tenzan)
AND
Singles Grudge Match
Low-Ki
Vs
Yoshihiro Tajiri
With the controversial win over Age Of The Fall at the 1st Year Anniversary show the Japanese Invasion are in high spirits but with the Fight Without Honor War match being made official for Take No Prisoners they are quite worried about the match as they know that Age Of The Fall will be gunning to take them all down methodically and as violently as possible, there is no time for messing around and cutting snarky promos because this is a vicious match that can end careers if not careful so both camps are really taking this match seriously, Both teams are training for this match and getting mentally and physically prepared because after all is said and done one team will stand tall. With James and the special referee in this match making sure nothing happens that shouldn’t this match has a lot of high stakes going into it.
One match also added to the card that has nothing to do with the faction war but instead they finally get there hands on each other is Low-Ki and Tajiri as James has signed that match for Take No Prisoners and if anyone interferes in that match they are instantly suspended for 6 months without pay, It was back in July when this all kicked off with Tajiri turning on Low-Ki in the tag team tournament and nine months later these two men finally get to settle there differences in the ring one on one.
ROH World Heavyweight Championship
Randy Orton (C)
Vs
Taz
After the epic match that Orton and RVD had back at the 1st Year Anniversary show, RVD is heard to be taking some time off to heal the wounds from the match and to take some time off for personal issues, Orton on the other hand being world champion doesn’t have that luxury and is forced to work through the injuries he sustained from the cage match. Orton is wrestling week after week picking up wins with the devastating RKO but after each match Orton looks anxious and unsure of his surroundings almost as if he is suffering from a concussion. With the well being of his wrestlers being a top priority James orders Orton to go and see the medical officials to see what the problem is. Orton is being checked by the officials when he looks at the door and there stands Ring Of Honor’s newest acquisition Batista, he stares a hole at Orton and then walks off as Orton is given the all clear but the officials.
The following week Orton slowly makes his way down to the ring looking around the arena and holding his Ring of Honor World Heavyweight Championship tightly around his shoulder. Orton slowly gets into the ring as the crowd are chanting for Orton but Orton doesn’t react to the crowd and starts to walk around the ring almost psyching himself when all of a sudden
(Play Batista)
Batista comes out of the backstage area and slowly walks down ramp not taking his eyes of Orton, slowly getting into the ring and looking to attack Orton but instead extends the hand out to which Orton looks shocked, Batista just continues to stare at Orton with his hand out as Orton looks to go and shake his hand but then out of nowhere drops Batista down to the mat with an RKO, the crowd are heard in mixed reactions as Orton slowly gets to his feet and looks to go for the punt kick but Batista picks him up and slams him down with a devastating spinebuster, Batista just stares at the fallen Orton and picks up the world championship and looks at it, dropping the belt next to Orton and leaving the ring leaving the champion down and out.
The following week Batista is having a match with Taz for the number one contendership to Orton’s world heavyweight championship, the winner facing Orton at Take No Prisoners. Batista looks set to go for the batista bomb but Taz counters and locks in the tazzmision and with nowhere to go Batista has no choice but to tap out to the crowd shock that Taz out of nowhere picks up the victory, Taz stands there looking down at Batista and gives the cutthroat signal when Orton slides into the ring and takes Taz down with an RKO, Batista is on his feet and turns Orton around but is dropped down with an RKO as Orton stands there looking at both the fallen Batista and Taz, Orton pushes Batista out of the ring and focuses on Taz who very groggily makes it to his feet but is taken down with another RKO from Orton and Taz is laid out, Orton raises the championship above his head as the crowd are mixed for Orton.
The final week before Take No Prisoners is rolling around as Taz is seen backstage mentally preparing himself for one of the biggest matches of his career when Batista is seen behind him, Taz turns around and looks into the eyes of Batista as both men just stand and stare at each other when Batista then just backs off and walks away leaving Taz alone. Orton is in his locker room mentally preparing for his big match at Take No Prisoners when Batista does the exact same thing to Orton just staring at him and the leaving and walking away. Taz comes down to the ring for his last match before the PPV and his opponent is Dave Taylor and after a hard fought match Taz picks up the win with the tazzmision, Orton’s last opponent is Robert Roode from Beer Money Inc and after a hard fought match again Orton wins with the RKO, as Orton is celebrating his win Batista walks out onto the entrance ramp and looks straight in the eyes of Orton and then points to his championship, Orton nods his head in disapproval when he is taken down from behind by Taz who locks in the tazzmision and doesn’t let go until Orton is completely out. Taz gets to his feet and picks up the championship as the crowd are heard shouting for Taz, he looks at the championship belt and then drops it on Orton giving him the cutthroat gesture and leaves the ring walking straight past Batista and looking at him and then walking to the back as Orton is on the floor coughing and spluttering holding onto his championship as he looks down the aisle way at Batista who takes one last look at him and then walks to the back. Orton slowly rolls out of the ring holding his neck and walks to the back as well but is then thrown through the curtain by Batista who takes Orton down onto the steel ramp way with a spinebuster as Batista then walks away and too the back leaving Orton writhing in pain, the match was already made as Taz challenges Randy Orton for the Ring Of Honor World Heavyweight Championship.

Matt Hardy your opponent at Take No Prisoners is standing right in front of you and the All American American will be taking back what is rightfully his”
Hardy looks shocked that Swagger has interrupted him but then starts to walk around the ring almost in a methodical manner just planning his next move when he drops the championship and slides out of the ring and goes straight after Swagger as both men start to slug it out with Swagger going for the gutwrench powerbomb but Hardy counters pushing Swagger down the aisle way and into the ringside area as both men get into the ring and start battling out with each other as Hardy goes for the twist of fate but Swagger counters pushing Hardy into the turnbuckle, Hardy spins around and is taking down with an overhead belly to belly suplex by Swagger who gets to his feet and starts taunting to the crowd as Swagger picks up a microphone
“Don’t be a fool Hardy, you can’t back out of this match, hold the championship close to you and hug it all you can because at Take No Prisoners, I will be getting that championship back!”
With that Petey Williams runs down to the ring and attacks Swagger again as both men start slugging it out with each other and Swagger lifts Williams up and down with the gutwrench powerbomb, Swagger starts to taunt to the crowd again as Hardy is seen getting back to his feet and is standing behind Swagger as he turns around as is dropped down with a twist of fate from Hardy who gets to his feet with the crowd chanting for him. Hardy picks up the championship and then picks up the microphone
“So the match is made Swagger Vs Hardy I have no problem with that all, but I can do what I want with this match so at Take No Prisoners it will be Jack Swagger Vs Matt Hardy Vs Petey Williams in a three way dance for the Full Impact Pro World Heavyweight Championship, if you want the championship back Swagger you will have to beat both of us!”
Hardy raises the championship belt up high as the crowd are chanting for Hardy as Hardy leaves the ring and walks to the back and Swagger and Williams are on the floor looking at each other and then looking at Hardy who is walking to the back.

AND
Singles Grudge Match
Low-Ki
Vs
Yoshihiro Tajiri
With the controversial win over Age Of The Fall at the 1st Year Anniversary show the Japanese Invasion are in high spirits but with the Fight Without Honor War match being made official for Take No Prisoners they are quite worried about the match as they know that Age Of The Fall will be gunning to take them all down methodically and as violently as possible, there is no time for messing around and cutting snarky promos because this is a vicious match that can end careers if not careful so both camps are really taking this match seriously, Both teams are training for this match and getting mentally and physically prepared because after all is said and done one team will stand tall. With James and the special referee in this match making sure nothing happens that shouldn’t this match has a lot of high stakes going into it.
One match also added to the card that has nothing to do with the faction war but instead they finally get there hands on each other is Low-Ki and Tajiri as James has signed that match for Take No Prisoners and if anyone interferes in that match they are instantly suspended for 6 months without pay, It was back in July when this all kicked off with Tajiri turning on Low-Ki in the tag team tournament and nine months later these two men finally get to settle there differences in the ring one on one.

Orton is wrestling week after week picking up wins with the devastating RKO but after each match Orton looks anxious and unsure of his surroundings almost as if he is suffering from a concussion. With the well being of his wrestlers being a top priority James orders Orton to go and see the medical officials to see what the problem is. Orton is being checked by the officials when he looks at the door and there stands Ring Of Honor’s newest acquisition Batista, he stares a hole at Orton and then walks off as Orton is given the all clear but the officials.
The following week Orton slowly makes his way down to the ring looking around the arena and holding his Ring of Honor World Heavyweight Championship tightly around his shoulder.

The final week before Take No Prisoners is rolling around as Taz is seen backstage mentally preparing himself for one of the biggest matches of his career when Batista is seen behind him, Taz turns around and looks into the eyes of Batista as both men just stand and stare at each other when Batista then just backs off and walks away leaving Taz alone. Orton is in his locker room mentally preparing for his big match at Take No Prisoners when Batista does the exact same thing to Orton just staring at him and the leaving and walking away.

Taz gets to his feet and picks up the championship as the crowd are heard shouting for Taz, he looks at the championship belt and then drops it on Orton giving him the cutthroat gesture and leaves the ring walking straight past Batista and looking at him and then walking to the back as Orton is on the floor coughing and spluttering holding onto his championship as he looks down the aisle way at Batista who takes one last look at him and then walks to the back.
