This BTB starts after the Supercard of Honor 2013
I modified a bit the card and the results due to the plans that i have for the future. You will basically see the current ROH roster, maybe a few additions but not huge names or something. Surely not soon. I want to cover a space at least until Best in the World 2014, though the target is 2016.
Results
1st contender for the TV title – Bennett vs BJ Whitmer vs Jimmy Jacobs. Jacobs wins after pinning Bennett. Jacobs worked with Bennett to destroy BJ. And they did it. When Bennett wanted to pin BJ , Corino jumped on the apron, Jacobs stabbed Mike with the spike, then hit the Sliced bread #3 for the W.
Strong vs Anderson- Karl Anderson hits twice the Ace Crusher, but MR Roh won't stay down. Strong hits the double knee gutbuster and locks the Stronghold in for a huge win by submission. Post-match Strong wants to shake Anderson's hand, but Anderson just turns his back and leaves enraged.
1st contender for the Tag Titles C&C vs The Forever Hooligans – Classic match. Overtime gets the W to C&C, but the Hooligans take badly the loss and hit two Doomsday Knee drops on the new 1st contenders. ACH and TD make the save, well, what remains to be saved. The hooligans leave chanting for Mother Russia
SCUM vs ROH – Rhino, Titus, Compton vs Mark Briscoe, Shelton Benjamin , Charlie Haas (a face turn for WGTT came at a house show where Compton was about to pin O'Reily to win the titles. Shelton flew with a legdrop to cause the DQ and Haas suplexed Titus through Kevin Kelly's table. Rave tried to make the save but was met with chair shots from WGTT writting him off after a double piledriver on the floor as his contract just expired ) . This was an all-out brawl. Scum managed to get the win after Mark got powder in the eyes and a masked man from the crowd hit from behind with a cutter of some sorts in the back of the heads both Haas and Shelton. Snapmare Driver, Retribution and Gore for a decimated Briscoe. SCUM – ROH 4-0
Tv Title Taven vs Cole vs Hardy Hardy is eliminated by Cole via Twist of Fate, Taven rolls him up with the feet on the ropes keeping the title.
1st conteder for the World Title Elgin vs Lethal- Match of the Night, maybe of the year. Elgin shines again but Lethal won't stay down. Piledrivers, flying elbows, powerslams, backstabbers, crossface, koji clutch, Lethal Injection, Elgin Bomb, nothing seems to sepparate them. The ending comes when Lethal blocks an Elgin Bomb with a hurricanrana and hits a second Lethal Injection for a big win and a new opportunity at Steen. Or maybe Jay Briscoe?. Elgin shook Lethal's hand in a show of respect. That led to Corino screaming that "the code of honor is crap"
World Tag Team Titles reDragon vs The American Wolves. From Final Battle until now, these have kept battling each other and put on great matches in any possible combination. Yet, there hasn't been a decisive winner. Somehow reDragon has managed to get the Wolves to put their contracts on the line against the titles. And the match delivered big time. Kicks, Ankle locks, Achilles locks, heel hooks, suplexes of all sorts, neckbreackers (the best was a swinging one from Kyle on Eddie which got a huge near fall), toombstone and superkick by the Wolves (if not for a Fish distraction, the match would have ended there. Anyway that was some near-fall), Powerbomb into a backbreacker (Fish's back almost broke in half), Abdominal stretch into a knee drop (poor Eddie). Everyone hit their finishers, but people were still kicking out. Chasing the Dragon on a beaten Davey- that was the story, isolating Davey and playing him as a traitor and a bad friend. But blood boils and never betrays. So Eddie dove with a headbutt in O'Reily. He landed weird, but blocked the 3 count. Kyle lifted him for a Brainbuster and almost had him. What he did not see was Davey getting up blocking a Falcon Arrow from Fish and turning it in the D.R.driver for the W and the third reign for the Wolves as he and Fish were the legal men.
World Title: Steen vs Jay Briscoe (Jay got the shot from the GM Nigel McGuiness). Those two had a great battle, and weird enough there were some really technical spots, as the Sharpshooter from Kevin and Jay's Dragon Sleeper (Chicken breaker how he calls it). The story told was that Steen worked over Jay's legs with dragon whips and stomps and knee drops, all to keep him grounded. He powered him in some huge near falls with powerslams , black hole slams and released Germans. But Jay got his part too. He put an amazing resistance and hit some nice looking vertical suplexes and lariats. He worked to beat the crap out of Steen with head butts, left hands, atomic drops and press slams. But none would stay down. At the mark of 33 minutes Steen hit the F5 for a huge near fall. He lifted Jay and wanted to kick him in the head, but Jay tackled him with the shoulder after side stepping. He put him on the mat and dropped knee after knee to the head of Steen busting him. As Corino was screaming "DQ this creep", Hardy came from behind and hit a Twist of Fate on Jay. He put Steen over, but Jay got an arm up as Nigel was going nuts at the commentary. Package Piledriver.....NOOOOOO! This guy doesn't stay down. Steen lifted him for a powerbomb, but Jay countered with a DDT. Spear, Steen is down. Kick to the gut, Steen is lifted vertically and dropped on his head. Jay Driller. Once, Twice, Three times.
Steen is out and the bell rings.
Jay celebrates like a mad man, buuut Jimmy Jacobs, Rhino, Rhett Titus, Compton and Matt Hardy surround the ring. The crowd boos as a masked man makes his way to the ring. He wears a monk kind of hood, and seems taller than the others. He grabs Jay by the neck and hits a devastating cutter. He takes the World Title and smacks Jay in the head. He takes his hood down, and he is none other than tonight's guest Karl Anderson. The PPV ends with Jay bloodied eating Retribution, Snapmare Driver, Gore, Twist of Fate and Ace Crusher as Steen gets up and stares at Anderson.
