ROH News: Jeff Cobb To Defend ROH World TV Title At Final Battle PPV

Jeff Cobb
An ROH World Television Title Match has been announced for Final Battle!

Exactly four weeks from tonight, Ring Of Honor will present its next big event as they go to the Hammerstein Ballroom in New York City for the Final Battle pay-per-view on December 14th, followed by the Final Battle Fallout television tapings the next night in Philadelphia.





ROH has wasted no time in building the card for their last PPV of 2018, already announcing the ROH World Title and WOH World Women’s Championship will both be on the line, in addition to Matt Taven’s ‘Real World Title’ when he faces Dalton Castle (see that announcement here). Today, another championship match official as Jeff Cobb will defend his ROH World Television Title against ‘Hangman’ Adam Page:

Ring of Honor’s seminal event, Final Battle, emanates from Manhattan Center’s Hammerstein Ballroom on Friday Dec. 14. Final Battle is ROH’s biggest card of the year and has been the site of some of ROH’s most memorable matches.

All roads lead to the G1 Supercard, co-promoted by ROH and New Japan Pro-Wrestling, at sold-out Madison Square Garden on April 6, 2019, and the results at Final Battle undoubtedly will have an impact on the historic show.

ROH World Television Champion Jeff Cobb will be appearing at his first Final Battle, and his title will be on the line against “Hangman” Adam Page of “The Elite.”

Both champion and challenger are among the very best competitors in ROH, but they’ve taken very different paths to the top.

Cobb stormed onto the scene in ROH over the summer by interrupting Top Prospect Tournament matches and destroying the competitors. After the third attack, Cobb declared that the tournament was over because he is the top prospect.

The former Olympic wrestler representing Guam wasted no time in making good on his bold assertion. In his first ROH match, which took place at the end of September, Cobb won the ROH World Television Title by steamrolling Punishment Martinez in 90 seconds. Martinez, who had been a dominant champion, was no match whatsoever for the powerhouse from Honolulu, who put him down with his devastating Tour of the Islands powerslam.

Since capturing the title, Cobb has scored one impressive victory after another, including over the likes of Grand Slam Champion Christopher Daniels, New Japan Pro-Wrestling star EVIL and Shane Taylor. The nine-year pro also won the prestigious Battle of Los Angeles tournament.

After Cobb’s win over Taylor, Page came down to the ring and got in the champion’s face. On an episode of “Ring of Honor Wrestling” two weeks prior, Page made it known that he was looking for a shot at a singles title, and it was now apparent that his sights were set on Cobb and the ROH World Television Title. (Tune into upcoming episodes of “Ring of Honor Wrestling” to see how this rivalry escalates.)

Unlike Cobb, Page’s rise in ROH has been more gradual. Page competed in the 2013 Top Prospect Tournament, but he was eliminated in the first round by Silas Young. The following year, Page served as a “young boy” for The Decade, a faction led by BJ Whitmer. Page eventually left The Decade and began realizing his vast potential in 2016, especially after joining Bullet Club.

Page was named ROH’s Breakout Star of 2017, as he established himself as one of the best all-around competitors in the company. He got his first taste of championship gold in ROH by teaming with The Young Bucks to win the ROH World Six-Man Tag Team Titles. Their reign lasted a record 201 days. Singles gold has remained elusive for Page, but he is looking to rectify that at the expense of Cobb at Final Battle.

Will Cobb make “The Hangman” his next victim,, or will Page bring home the ROH World Television Title to “The Elite?”

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.
