Those are some big names. Ring of Honor is wrapping things up, at least in their best known version. That is going to be a sad moment for the wrestling world as there are all kinds of stars from throughout the company’s history around the wrestling world today. There is still one show left though, and it had more than a few surprise appearances taking place.
There were multiple surprise appearances at Ring of Honor’s Final Battle event over the weekend. First, EC3 debuted a new stable, featuring Titan (formerly known as Braun Strowman) and Westin Blake (formerly known as Wesley Blake in WWE). Later in the show, the Briscos won the Ring of Honor Tag Team Titles. Following the match, FTR ran in and attacked the Briscos, teasing a future match between the teams. The two teams have been feuding on Twitter in recent weeks.
It was a heck of a night. Check out the appearances, plus the full pre-show:
Opinion: I’m not sure what to think of something like this, as it was such a big night but it leaves a few unanswered questions. Why is a company that is apparently not bringing in much money paying one of the biggest free agents in wrestling? That seems to be a bit of a stretch, as is setting up two big angles on what might be the last show in company history. Maybe they pay off later, but this is a weird decision.
