Ken Anderson Making Ring of Honor Debut

Could you repeat that for me? Ring of Honor is in a weird place at the moment as they’re trying to replace several departed wrestlers. With places like Evolve, the re-energized Impact Wrestling and of course WWE always looking for new talent, Ring of Honor needs its own influx of names. They’ve now added one more name to their roster.

According to an official press release, Mr. Anderson (also known as Ken Anderson) will be making his Ring of Honor debut on April 28 in Hopkins, Minnesota at the “Masters of the Craft” event. Anderson will be challenging Marty Scurll for the Ring of Honor TV Title, which Scurll has held since November 2016.

As the list of defeated challengers grows and grows, the louder “The Villain” Marty Scurll gets. The self-described “Reign of Wickedness” began in London in just his third match during his first weekend in ROH. Since then Scurll has defeated Will Ospreay, Dragon Lee, Jonathan Gresham, Juice Robinson, Donovan Dijak, Sonjay Dutt, Kenny King, and former three-time ROH World Champion Adam Cole in front of the largest crowd in ROH history at Supercard of Honor XI!

But as the, admittedly, fighting champion continues to get louder and louder about his successes, world-class challengers from around the world line up to take their best shot at “The Villain”. And a former world champion has his eyes set on Scurll at Masters of the Craft!

Ken Anderson makes his ROH debut in Hopkins, MN and has a chance to capture championship gold on his very first night! Scurll, and champions before him like Jay Lethal, Tomohiro Ishii, and Bobby Fish before him have elevated the ROH World Television Championship to the level of the ROH World Championship and Anderson looks for an opportunity to add his name to this storied lineage.

Opinion: I’m not a big Anderson fan but Ring of Honor needs all the names they can get at the moment. This is the kind of a quick draw that can boost a local house show and give the promotion some buzz and there’s nothing wrong with that. Anderson should be another good notch on Scurll’s rapidly growing belt, which will be the company some good in the future.
