ROH News: Big I Quit Match Added To Final Battle In New York City

A big I Quit Match has been added to Ring Of Honor’s Final Battle!

Following the conclusion of Ring Of Honor’s Global Wars Tour earlier this month, the next big events on the docket for ROH are its Final Battle pay-per-view at the Hammerstein Ballroom on December 14th and accompanying Final Battle Fallout television tapings the next night in Philadelphia.

The card for the Final Battle PPV is already stacking up with just over three weeks remaining, as Cody will challenge ROH World Champion Jay Lethal in Cody’s last match with Ring Of Honor, plus Sumie Sakai defends the WOH World Women’s Title in a Four Corner Survival Match. That’s on top of Zack Sabre Jr.’s ROH debut, Hangman Page going after Jeff Cobb’s ROH World TV Title and Matt Taven versus Dalton Castle.

This evening, another huge match has been made official for Final Battle as ROH has announced that Flip Gordon and Bully Ray will look to settle their issues once and for all in an I Quit Match:

WILL FLIP OR BULLY SAY I QUIT AT FINAL BATTLE?

Ring of Honor’s seminal event, Final Battle, emanates from Manhattan Center’s Hammerstein Ballroom on Friday, December 14. Final Battle is ROH’s biggest card of the year and has been the site of some of ROH’s most memorable matches and this year will be no exception!

For most wrestlers, a year like Flip Gordon’s 2018 would be seen as a career high mark or even career making. Gordon won championship opportunities, picked up wins against top flight competition like Silas Young, Marty Scurll, Dalton Castle, and Jay Briscoe en route to winning the first-ever Sea of Honor Tournament to earn a World Championship match, and even competed in his first-ever Best of Super Juniors Tournament.

And perhaps the most impressive part of all those accomplishments has been his ability to do so while being attacked, ambushed, and bullied at every turn by Bully Ray. But Gordon has a chance to get the ultimate revenge, a chance to make Bully say I Quit at Final Battle!

I QUIT MATCH – WINNER MAKES HIS OPPONENT SAY I QUIT

FLIP GORDON vs. BULLY RAY

At Supercard of Honor in April, Bully Ray threatened to shut the entire event down, the largest crowd in ROH history by holding Cheeseburger in a piledriver position, a move banned in Louisiana by the State Athletic Commission. It was Flip Gordon who ran to ‘Burger’s aid and was able to resolve the situation, albeit temporarily, but drew the ire of Bully Ray.

Bully and Flip faced one another at Best in the World after Bully spent weeks attacking and berating Flip. Flip came out of the gate with a full head of steam and looked like he would beat Bully Ray before Bully Ray got himself disqualified.

The violence turned malicious as Bully began attacking Gordon more, leading to a Tables Match at Death Before Dishonor. Gordon saw his partner Colt Cabana eliminated early but he came back and put both Bully Ray and Bully’s partner Silas Young through tables. Unfortunately, the referee did not see Young go through a table and Young and Bully won the match.

In a Pick Your Poison match, Gordon’s pick, Sandman, lost to Silas Young, allowing Bully Ray to do whatever he wanted to Gordon and he chose to cane and then low blow Gordon. After enduring the punishment, Gordon will finally get another opportunity to face Bully in the ring. And the winner must make the loser say I Quit!

Gordon, the now-retired Army National Guardsman, has never given up on anything in his life and has never backed down from a Bully. He will step face-to-face with the native New Yorker Bully Ray at ROH’s seminal event, Final Battle!

Will Gordon finally get his revenge? Or has Bully been right all along about the mettle of millennials like Flip Gordon? Find out LIVE as very limited tickets remain to join us in New York City for Final Battle!
