Ring Of Honor Pure Championship
Nigel McGuinness (C)
Vs
Dave Taylor

Nigel McGuinness is taking the Pure Championship as his own, he has shown to the world that he is one of the best wrestlers on this planet and the championship proves it, he has beaten legends in this business and current stars, no-one has been able to take down Nigel. Since Undeniable Dave Taylor has been making an impact on HDNet, racking up wins with a variety of submissions and pinfall attempts, some of those wins coming in the form of Pure Wrestling matches, sending a statement to Nigel McGuinness. Taylor is beating people up in matches and calling for McGuinness to come out but he doesn’t as most of the time McGuinness isn’t even at the show
McGuinness is out promoting ROH events in the near future and helping raise the status of the company but when McGuinness does come back the following week he is told by the locker room that David Taylor is after him, McGuinness shrugs it off as he goes out to the ring for his match against Fit Finlay and McGuinness nearly has the match won when Taylor grabs McGuinness’ leg causing the distraction and whilst the referee sees this Finlay slams the shillelagh over the head of McGuinness and covers him getting the three count.
When McGuinness comes round Taylor is seen right in his face with a microphone in hand
“Is that how you treat a fellow Englishman by ignoring them, you better be on the look out because its not only The Revolution that wants to take ROH out, but I personally want to take that belt from you, I proved to the world I am a pure wrestler and if you have the balls you will prove that you are the best wrestler in the world today”
Taylor throws the microphone down and steps over McGuinness holding the championship up high as McGuinness low blows Taylor and then locks in the London dungeon submission as Taylor is just tapping out asking for it to be broken as McGuinness begins to smile and takes the microphone
“You want to take me out, I am smarter than you for I am the Pure Champion, you are nothing but a gutless and brainless idiot, you want to face me at Respect is Earned for this championship, then in your words, show me you have the balls! You muppet”
McGuinness stands tall with the pure championship in hand leaving the ring as Taylor is seen rolling around the ring in pain but never taking his eyes of McGuinness who points to his head and then nods disapprovingly at Taylor.
The next week McGuinness is having a match with the newly acquired Chavo Guerrero and after a back and forth match McGuinness looks set to get the win when Taylor distracts McGuinness long enough as Guerrero gets the low blow and the roll up with the feet on the ropes and gets the three as Chavo is celebrating his win Taylor gets into the ring and grabs a microphone
“Listen good, you want to keep losing then that’s fine, but I will not stop interfering until you give me what you want, is that good enough for you, you daft idiot”
Taylor stands tall with the championship belt as McGuinness is in the same position that Taylor was the last week.
The final weeks before Respect is Earned and things are heating up with the World title match and tag title match but McGuinness doesn’t care about the Honor Rumble he is in, he wants to sort out this problem with Taylor and comes to the ring waiting for Taylor to come but he does attacking McGuinness from behind and taking him down just beating him down as wrestlers run down to the ring to break the two up but they escape and start attacking each other again when James comes out onto the entrance way
“Now Taylor listen here, McGuinness has always been my go to guy, anytime I wanted something done for this business he has always been there, but you have been sending a sharp message and seeing at Respect is Earned is this Sunday and you want to beat the respect into each other then I say at that show Nigel McGuinness will go against Dave Taylor and the Pure Championship will be on the line”
McGuinness is fuming at what James said but he looks back at Taylor as both men just lock eyes knowing that even though it will be a wrestling match, it will have implements of a war come Respect is Earned.

Full Impact Pro World Heavyweight Championship
Matt Hardy (C) W/ TBA
Vs
Sheamus W/ Triple H

The Battle lines have been drawn as The Revolution are looking to become the most dominant team in wrestling today, they have the wrestlers in there to prove it and they have been taking wrestlers out but one that has evaded there attention has been Matt Hardy, whilst he has suffered beatings from the group he has not been put out of commission and that seems to be there next target, if they control both world championships then that should gives them a better chance of making a big impact.
The Revolution have to pick someone in there team to face Matt Hardy and in the state Hardy is in they need to pick a man that could be on the same level of Hardy and be willing to do anything to get that championship belt, The Revolution picked none other than Sheamus. Hardy heard this from James in the locker room as Hardy knew what needed to be done as James told him that Sheamus was not going to be alone so he has made some calls and has picked someone up onto the ROH roster whom will help you in the managerial role. Hardy has that smile on his face as James does as well as they shake hands.
Sheamus in his locker room is mentally getting ready as Triple H gives him some words of encouragement, two huge matches that could change the early stages of this heated rivalry will begin at Respect is Earned and with this match being the prelude to the World Heavyweight Championship match a lot rides on this match at Respect is Earned.

2 out of 3 falls Match
Ring Of Honor World Tag Team Championships
Austin Aries and Tyler Black (C)
Vs
(Kings of Wrestling) Castagnoli and Hero

After one of the most emotional and hard fought battles between Beer Money and Aries and Black for the tag team championships, Aries and Black are sitting in the locker room just holding there titles and shaking hands with each other on a match well done as Beer Money enter the locker room as Robert Roode looks like he has something to say
“After Undeniable, no-one can say you’re a thrown together tag team that doesn’t work, you’ve beaten us three times and not a lot of teams can claim to that fact, you really are the best tag team in Ring of Honor today, maybe one day we can challenge you again for the tag team championships but when that days comes it will be a different story”
Beer Money extend the hand to Aries and Black who graciously accept as they nod heads as Aries and Black leave for the ring for there match against The American Wolves, after a hard fought match Aries and Black get the victory and they begin to celebrate in the ring
(Play Claudio Castagnoli)
Castagnoli makes his way down to the ring and picks up a microphone walking around the tag team champions smiling as the crowd calms down
“So you are the current tag team champions, you beaten Briscoe’s, Dudley’s, Beer Money and even your opponents tonight The American Wolves, but there is one team you have yet to beat and who could it be well lets just say they are The Kings!”
Castagnoli leaves the ring as Aries and Black looks slightly puzzled at what Castagnoli says but don’t think much of it as they go back to celebrate with the fans.
The following week we see Chris Hero in attendance in the front row as Castagnoli is seen racking up a win against Mark Briscoe as Castagnoli sees Hero and goes to hug him as both men start talking and Castagnoli invites him into the ring and grabs a microphone
“You see last week when I said Kings, this is what I meant, I made a phone call to James and give him an idea of employing someone and that person is this man right here Chris Hero, with both of us in ROH we can reform the tag team again as from this day the Kings of Wrestling are back and Aries and Black be ready because The Kings want there thrones back”
(Play Aries/Black)
“You think for one second that we will give up these titles so easily, your sadly mistaken, at Undeniable we went to the limit with Beer Money and won, we beat Beer Money for these damn titles back in February, we are not giving them up easily, you want a match fine but let us name the stipulation”
Castagnoli and Hero agree nodding there heads and waiting for the chosen stipulation
“You say you’re the Kings of Wrestling, so let’s test that theory out, lets go back to the way wrestling used to be with no time limit just the aim was to beat your opponent not once but twice, we will test you to your team’s name because at Respect is Earned you will face us for the Tag Team Championships in a 2 out of 3 falls match”
Hero and Castagnoli are slightly shocked at this stipulation but agree to the match and shake hands with Aries and Black as the match is made official at Respect is Earned in a two out of three falls match Aries and Black defend there Ring of Honor World Tag Team Championships against The Kings Of Wrestling, Claudio Castagnoli and Chris Hero.

Ring Of Honor World Heavyweight Championship
Randy Orton (C)
Vs
Low-Ki

Coming off what is deemed a very controversial Undeniable PPV, The Revolution are in high spirits as Randy Orton remained the Heavyweight Champion and along with Matt Morgan, Batista and Taz, Rhyno was added to the list of wrestlers The Revolution has taken down as the three are becoming the most hated people in the entire of Ring of Honor, whenever any of those three are out in the ring cutting a promo or walking down the aisle way the boos are deafening and the chants are relentless, they are getting things thrown at them and being mocked by the fans wherever they go but they just keep on walking through asserting there dominance amongst the locker room. We see Orton, Triple H and Sheamus leaving there own private locker room and walk through the backstage area ready to give an explanation on what this is all about
(Play The Revolution)
Orton is in the front holding the championship tightly as Triple H still has the wounds showing from the physical battle with Rhyno at Undeniable and Sheamus is there with them as well as he is deemed the future of the business by Orton and Triple H, all three men take there time in entering ring just savouring the moment as Orton raises the championship belt up high and a smile creeps onto his face as Triple H and Sheamus are applauding Orton as the music dies down and the crowd are relentless in there verbal attacks on the group but they all ignore them and just blow them off as Orton asks for a microphone.
“They say that if you beat a man once then it lowers there testicular fortitude, I beat the same man twice and both times retained what is the closest thing to my heart, the Ring of Honor World Heavyweight Championship. You see before you the three most dominant wrestlers in the world today, Matt Morgan, Dave Batista, Taz, Rhyno these men have fallen at the feet of The Revolution and we are only getting started. At Undeniable a picture was left clear in everyone’s mind when Kevin Nash and Doug Williams were laid out on the mat and The Revolution was standing on top of the mountain where no one man dares to even try and battle us. The demands from us are simple, we will own everything there is too this company, it’s championships, its wrestlers, its finance even the owner, we are not going to stop until The Revolution become the leaders of not only this locker room but this company, The Revolution is here and there is not a single person that can stop us from achieving our goal”
(Play Promo)
Orton just falls down to his knees as the arena is just bathed in this red light as Triple H and Sheamus are trying to talk Orton out of it and help him but Orton just has his head in his hands just shaking in worry at what he has just saw as we go to commercials.
Back from commercials Orton is just still in the ring just not moving as the sweat is rolling down his head, Triple H and Sheamus are seen trying to talk to Orton who Is just frozen in time as Triple H and Sheamus have to pick up Orton and help him out of the ring and too the back as the segment ends and we go backstage where the locker room is in high spirits as something is going on that JB cant catch wind but the entire locker room is ready and waiting to strike.
Later in the night in the Revolution locker room Orton has his head in his hands just wondering what is going on, Orton knows that he is coming back but Triple H and Sheamus are more focused now on there tag team match later on in the evening as they leave the locker room they just look at Orton and just nod to him as Orton is on the bench just looking at the floor. Later in the night the match takes place with Triple H and Sheamus Vs Austin Aries and Tyler Black as in a back an forth match Aries looks to get the win but Triple H attacks Aries from behind getting the disqualification as Sheamus and Triple H start beating down Aries and Black as the ROH locker room just run down to the ring and start to beat down on Triple H and Sheamus as the crowd are going crazy when
(Play Dudley’s)
The Dudley’s come on to a mixed ovation from the crowd as the ROH locker room are there standing and smiling to the Dudley’s as they stand in the ring looking across at Triple H and Sheamus and they look like there going to attack them but they turn around and start attacking the locker room as the crowd are just booing the hell out of the Dudley’s as they shout at Triple H and Sheamus to get the table which they do as they set it up and the Dudley’s 3-D Austin Aries through the table as the Revolution stands tall with Sheamus, Triple H and The Dudley Boy’s standing tall as the show closes.
The following week on HDNet the ROH Locker Room are enraged just shouting at each other over the events from last week as James walks in the locker room as the locker room calms down
“Look guys, I know I had an open mind going into this whole Revolution faction but after what Randy Orton said about wanting to overtake this company, this is something that will not happen, guys I am behind you on this one, you came here to Ring of Honor to be allowed to wrestle and not get bogged down by corporate shills, we will bring the fight to the Revolution and we will remain victorious as for Respect is Earned many of you deserve a title shot but I think there is one person who personifies ROH deserves a title match and let’s just say he is A Warrior”
The locker room is seen smiling with James as they all slap each other hands and get pumped for the war ahead as James leaves the locker room, back at The Revolution Locker Room they are in high spirits as they have now become the most dominant faction in ROH, they have the greatest world champion, the greatest tag team, the greatest up and comer, and the greatest all around wrestler. However they begin to talk about the plan for tonight as they want to send a dominate message.
Later in the night Orton is having a match with Jack Swagger and after a very long match Orton picks up the win with the RKO but Orton is not done as he starts to beat down on Swagger and Sheamus, Triple H and the Dudley’s come running down to the ring to assist in the attack making it five on one. Swagger is being decimated by them all as the cavalry comes from the locker room and runs down into the ring as the battle between both teams rages on as they all leave the ring except Orton and Swagger who is out on the floor. Orton takes the chance going for the punt kick when the arena goes black and then it goes red as Orton just drops down to his knees holding his head as the crowd are going crazy as the music is playing the background as the arena goes black and then goes back red and we see a mask and a barbed wire baseball bat in the middle of the ring as Orton just kneels there shaking his head when all of a sudden
(Play Low-Ki)
The crowd going crazy as besides Christopher Daniels, no-one can be more of an original than Low-Ki who was even on the first show, Low-Ki gets into the ring and stands before Orton who gets to his feet and looks to attack Low-Ki but Low-Ki ducks and starts bringing the fight to Orton taking him down and going for the Warriors Way but Orton is pulled out of the ring by Triple H as The Revolution back from the fight as James appears on the entrance ramp.
“Orton I don’t know why you are running because at Respect is Earned you wont be able to run, you see I said a Warrior will be fighting you and that warrior is in the ring, at Respect is Earned you will face Low-Ki for the Ring of Honor World Heavyweight Championship”
Orton is shouting at James who stands there smiling as the locker room start to circle around The Revolution but they run from the aisle way and run from the arena as Low-Ki stands in the middle of the ring being cheered by the fans as the ROH locker room enter the ring and hold Low-Ki high as the show goes off the air.
It’s the final week before the PPV and both camps have a lot of preparation ahead for them as the first shots will be fired at this PPV, Low-Ki is training in the locker room and the roster are there helping him out just getting him physically and mentally ready, in the Revolution locker room Orton is sitting on the bench just thinking about the task at hand, the world championship around his waist as he stares at it and holds it close to him as Orton leaves the locker room looking to come to the ring alone
(Play Orton)
“Low-Ki with the greatest of respect I came out here alone and I would like you too do the same as well so Low-Ki please come out here”
(Play Low-Ki)
Orton extends the hand to Low-Ki as the crowd are telling Low-Ki not to do it but Low-Ki with the respect he has for the company and the world championship decides to shake his hand and at that moment Orton takes him down with the RKO as The Revolution come down to the ring and the five on one beatdown begins as no-one from the locker room is coming out as we see The Dudley’s have locked the door meaning that no-one can go and help as Low-Ki is being decimated by The Revolution, the cameraman is shouting for someone to help as the wrestlers are trying to kick the door down.
(Play Promo)
Orton stops dead in his tracks as the familiar red lighting bathes over the arena and the message plays, Orton is on his hands and knees as The Revolution are trying to help him, backstage we see James running to the locker room door and unlocking it with the key he has as the locker room bolt out of there and run down to the ring as The Revolution escape through the crowd and leave the arena as Low-Ki is being helped by the roster. The locker room is out in force as they make sure no-one can get into the ring as James checks on Low-Ki as the show ends.

Honor Rumble 2010
The Winner is guaranteed any title shot at Survival Of The Fittest in October

When it was announced back in June that ROH would hold Respect is Earned in the Hammerstein Ballroom, there was something big to go down and it was then announced that the Honor Rumble would be returning to ROH, at Undeniable four wrestlers fought for the chance to choose there entry number into the Honor Rumble and Christopher Daniels won so there was rumours going around about what number Daniels would enter at but all Daniels would say is that It was a surprise.
Not only has Daniels got momentum but also the reigning tag team champions Austin Aries and Tyler Black, since they won the belts back in February from the tag team tournament they have been on a huge roll and the momentum boost they have gained from beating Beer Money at Undeniable will help them in the match however with them having to defend the titles earlier in the night there is speculation they may not be coming into the match at 100%.
Another favourite is Doug Williams who in the last two months has proven then he deserves to be in the main event scene, coming so close in the last two PPV’s in capturing the Ring of Honor World Heavyweight Championship but fell short at the last hurdle, even though he lost those matches Williams is on the hunt to become a world champion and the win in the Honor Rumble will guarantee him another chance to face the world champion
Also with the arrival of new talent in ROH that maybe debuting at Respect is Earned there is talk to see if they will win the rumble, seeing as they are new people expect them not to do much but ROH is all about giving people a chance and as we saw the last few months when given a chance wrestlers will jump all over it.
With the inclusion of member of The Revolution in this match wanting to overtake the ROH locker room there will be a big fight atmosphere going into this match, the entire locker room will want to get there hands on The Revolution but with all the entrances to the Honor Rumble being kept a secret no-one will know until the event what number each wrestler will come out to, fuelling the rumours of whom might win.
The prize for the winner, a guaranteed title shot for ANY belt at Survival of The Fittest in October one of ROH’s biggest shows of the year and for the winner they will have the momentum coming out of the Honor Rumble but also a target on there back, there title match will not be for two months and the events of Honor Rumble could lead to some severe backlash come Man Up in September amongst other issues. With all that aside the main event of Respect is Earned at the Hammerstein Ballroom is close to happening as thirty men fight to be the last man standing and that man will have a guaranteed title match at Survival of The Fittest, so the one big question on everyone’s mind is “Who Will Be The One?”

Hardy slowly rises to his feet as Sheamus charges at Hardy who backdrops Sheamus over the top to the outside with a loud thump as Sheamus hits the floor. Hardy turns around to see Sheamus down as he climbs the turnbuckle and jumps off but Sheamus catches him in mid air with a stiff shot right to the sternum sending Hardy crashing down on the outside. Sheamus takes Hardy and throws him headfirst into the steel steps before picking him up in the bearhug position and running as fast as he can ramming Hardy’s spine into the steel post then dropping him down on the outside with the spinebuster. Hardy is in tremendous pain as Sheamus rolls in and out of the ring breaking the count going on the attack of Hardy again picking him up and dropping headfirst onto the steel steps rolling him back into the ring covering for 1…2…NO! Hardy kicks out.
Triple H is ringside holding the sledgehammer giving words of encouragement to Sheamus keeping him focused on the job at hand. Sheamus slowly picks up Hardy and starts talking trash to him as Hardy fights back with shots to the face trying to fight back but Sheamus knees Hardy in the gut and an elbow to the top of the head sends Hardy down to one knee. Sheamus runs to the ropes and takes Hardy down with a boot to the side of the head covering Hardy for 1…2…NO! Hardy kicks out. Sheamus grabs the leg of Hardy and locks in the Indian deathlock just torturing the legs of Hardy try to injure him and make him submit but Hardy is fighting out of it trying his best to roll over but Sheamus rolls him back to the centre of the ring and when the ref isn’t looking uses the ropes for leverage just having that submission locked in, Hardy gritting his teeth trying to roll over but again Sheamus rolls it back over still having it locked in as we see Hardy fading away, the ref checks his arm and nothing, he checks it again and again nothing, the ref checks it a third time but there is life in Hardy yet just shaking his arm feeding of the crowd a tribal war cry comes from Hardy as he is able to finally turn himself over as Sheamus kicks breaks the submission before it does damage to him.
Hardy rises to his feet stumbling around as the submission has impacted his legs as Sheamus goes to attack Hardy but Hardy takes him down with a side effect but can’t capitalise as the ref begins to count both men out. The ref gets to a count of six as Hardy begins to stir and slowly gets to his feet as Sheamus gets to his feet at a count of eight.
