Published

on

Ring Of Honor’s return to the United Kingdom is just over a month away now, as the Honor Re-United tour hits Ediburgh, Scotland first on August 16th and will feature the United Kingdom vs. the United States for the ROH International Cup. Names for the event have been slowly released by ROH recently and now joining the likes of Jimmy Havoc, Joe Hendry and Mark Haskins will be Kip Sabian and Jonathan Gresham, as announced today. Below is the full announcement on Gresham’s entry:

One of ROH’s most-well-traveled stars, “The Octopus” Jonathan Gresham is the first US star announced for the International Cup! Before he reached the age of 30 earlier this year, Gresham had already wrestled in 13 countries in four continents. He is the initial first-round entrant from the US in the US vs. UK International Cup on the Honor Re-United Tour!

Gresham has an amazing array of submissions and surgical-like precision and has been challenging himself recently against international stars like ROH World Champion Jay Lethal, Cody, and KUSHIDA. Now, Gresham looks to put himself in the title hunt!

Gresham joins Jimmy Havoc, Mark Haskins, Joe Hendry, and Kip Sabian from the UK side of the bracket and will face one of the UK stars in the first round of the tournament. Will Gresham make history by winning the International Cup and earning his first-ever shot at the ROH World Championship? Who will he face? Stay tuned to ROHWrestling.com to find out!

Did your picks win points?

The AEW Continental Classic is underway, with almost everyone competing. Check in here if you haven’t seen the winners and losers of week 1!

Here are your Gold League standings!

  • Jon Moxley: 1-0, 3 points
  • Swerve Strickland: 1-0, 3 points
  • Jay White: 1-0, 3 points
  • Rush: 0-1, 0 points
  • Mark Briscoe: 0-1, 0 points.
  • Jay Lethal: 0-1, 0 points

 

Here are your Blue League standings!

  • Brody King: 1-0, 3 points
  • Claudio Castagnoli: 1-0, 3 points
  • Daniel Garcia: 0-1, 0 points
  • Eddie Kingston: 0-1, 0 points
  • Bryan Danielson: Yet to Compete
  • Andrade El Idolo: Yet to Compete

 

My Thoughts:

Nothing too crazy, nothing too wild, this tournament only just got started. The only disappointing point is that they could not get Bryan “cleared to compete” Saturday night. Not sure how much of that is shoot given the bad eye, but this was kinda the problem of wanting him in the tournament over tons of other choices. Bryan wants to face Okada for WrestleKingdom 18, how is Bryan supposed to do that at his best if he’s also gonna be in a round robin, doing five top level matches in about as many weeks? And it takes away from Andrade being able to do something. Also a little surprised we didn’t even hear from Andrade on Saturday.

Now as we heard on Saturday, round two’s matches are set. Gold League will see Mark Briscoe VS Rush, White VS Swerve, and of course, Moxley VS Lethal. Nice variety there, a couple 0-1 guys facing off, as well as two 1-0 guys, and then 1-0 VS 0-1. No offense to Lethal, but he feels like an 0-2 going up against Moxley. Hard to call the other ones but that’s the fun of it. Meanwhile, Blue League sees Brody VS Claudio in a showdown to be 2-0, then Bryan and Andrade finally jump in, Bryan against Eddie and Andrade against Garcia. Sadly, feels like Eddie and Garcia are going 0-2, no way Tony Khan is booking Bryan and Andrade to lose their first shots.

In fact, that could be half the reason they did wait on those two, that’s almost too good for just a first round opener. But I still would’ve done it, same as NJPW does stuff like that for round robins, which this is all modeled after anyway.
