Ring Of Honor reveals the first match for Road To G1 Supercard in San Antonio!

Ring Of Honor is back on the road beginning tomorrow night, as they head to Texas for three straight evenings with the Road To G1 Supercard events.

We’ve already seen quite a few matches revealed for tomorrow night’s show in Dallas and Friday’s in Houston, however all we’ve heard for Saturday in San Antonio is the yet to be determined Semi-Finals and Finals of Tag Wars. That has changed today as ROH announced the first official (kind of) match for the event as ‘The Villain’ Marty Scurll will go one-on-one with either Jonathan Gresham or Mark Haskins, depending on the events of Tag Wars:

The road to Madison Square Garden begins deep in the heart of Texas as the stars of Ring of Honor and New Japan Pro-Wrestling do battle on Road to G1 Supercard – San Antonio on Jan. 26!

Your favorite stars will be in action, jockeying for position as ROH heads toward 17th Anniversary in Las Vegas, the final stop on the Road to G1 Supercard in Baltimore, and finally, The World’s Most Famous Arena!

ROH’s return to San Antonio features Night 3 of Tag Wars, the semifinals and finals of a 12-team tournament for a shot at the ROH World Tag Team Titles at 17th Anniversary on March 15 and a spot in the Crockett Cup, a tag team tournament co-promoted by the NWA and ROH, on April 27.

In addition to Tag Wars bouts, a singles match pitting “The Villain” Marty Scurll against either Jonathan Gresham or Mark Haskins has been signed. Scurll’s opponent will be determined by the results of Night 1 of Tag Wars in Dallas.

“THE VILLAIN” MARTY SCURLL vs. JONATHAN GRESHAM OR MARK HASKINS

Marty Scurll is one of the top contenders for the ROH World Championship, and now with PCO and Brody King by his side as members of Villain Enterprises, “The Villain” is brimming with confidence and more dangerous than ever.

He will look to keep his momentum going in San Antonio against either Gresham or Haskins. Those two are entered in Tag Wars and will be on opposite sides on Night 1 in Dallas on Jan. 24, as Gresham and ROH World Champion Jay Lethal face Haskins and “Hot Sauce” Tracy Williams. The winning team will continue in the tournament on Night 3, while Scurll will face the one who doesn’t advance out of Gresham and Haskins.

Regardless of who Scurll’s opponent is, “The Villain” undoubtedly will have his hands full. Gresham is one of the best technical wrestlers in the world, and Haskins was one of pro wrestling’s hottest free agents before he signed with ROH last month. Scurll and Haskins are no strangers to one another, as they have been both opponents and partners numerous times over the past decade in their home country of England.

All three nights of Road to G1 Supercard in Texas Jan. 24-26 will stream LIVE worldwide for HonorClub. Keep it locked to ROHWrestling.com and the ROH App for more match announcements.

Mitchell’s AEW Continental Classic Update! (11/27/23)

What a start to the tournament!

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.
