An Honorable Mention W/ Shane & Jeff

An unintentional follow-up to last week's show, this week we tackle the infamous CLOCKWORK ORANGE HOUSE OF FUN CAGE MATCH THAT IS NOT HAIR VERSUS HAIR EVEN THOUGH IT WAS BOOKED THAT WAY BUT TNA HAD TO BE TNA....We're also tackling THE FIELD OF HONOR (insert spooky noise here), Jeff thinks Clockwork Orange came out in the 2000's, we have a special guest drop in who was there live as a fan, we talk SWB and his value in 2003 in Boston, and how four top talent doesn't always mean the top match of the show!It's “BEATING THE ODDS” on this week's episode of AN HONORABLE MENTION, and it is brought to you by Patreon.com/AnHonorablePod, and of course, the Creative Control Network presents the greatness to all your favorite podcast providers!-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-BEATING THE ODDS09/06/03THE BOSTON AREAField Of Honor Block B MatchJimmy Rave vs. Colt CabanaSingles MatchDiablo Santiago (w/Oman Tortuga) vs. Slyk Wagner Brown (w/April Hunter)Four Way Scramble Tag Team MatchThe Backseat Boyz (Johnny Kashmere & Trent Acid) vs. Th

Welcome back to 2003, it's been awhile we know, but this time you voted on it with our DEATH BEFORE DISHONOR poll on Twitter! It's the day that Jeff Hardy did NOT (if you believe commentary) draw the house of 1,200 people, but “The Fallen Angel” Christopher Daniels did from “Japan”. It's the final day of Paul London, for a decade at least, before he heads off to WWE and makes Velocity THE program to watch! It's a crazily edited Weapons Match, a bloody Dog Collar match with more ECW tie-ins than you knew you wanted, and THAT Low Ki/Deranged stuff.As voted on by y'all, t's “DEATH BEFORE DISHONOR” on this week's episode of AN HONORABLE MENTION, and it is brought to you by Patreon.com/AnHonorablePod, and of course, the Creative Control Network presents the greatness to all your favorite podcast providers!-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-DEATH BEFORE DISHONOR7/19/03Elizabeth, NJSingles MatchDeranged vs. Low KiSingles MatchJimmy Rave vs. Matt StrykerWeapons Eight Man Tag Team MatchThe Carnage Crew (DeVito, Justin Credible, Loc &am

“Smoky Mountain of Honor” was once a phrase coined by Austin Aries in relation to Jim Cornette and Ring of Honor, and this is one event that certainly conveys that feel...or perhaps the Ohio Valley of Honor would be appropriate seeing as how we are at The Davis Arena for the event.The first night of a triple shot weekend with “HATE: CHAPTER II” and “SALVATION”, this one just feels...less than...for the first half of the event, but with the top two matches really kicks into the territory one would expect for an ROH event!For this one, Jeff and Shane talk where Hagadorn actually was instead of Louisville, question pay scales for this event, talk The Spirit Squad, Brad Maddox, The Wolves/Briscoes history, and more!

THE SUMMER OF PUNK IS UPON US! It kicked off at “DEATH BEFORE DISHONOR III” (available in the archives), and got into full swing with ROH's Long Island area debut! Between the WWE contract signing, the surprise arrival of Mick Foley, and an overall banger of a card (damn the top 3 matches are fire), it was a tremendous first impression on the market, and the crowd responded in kind.It's “SIGN OF DISHONOR” on this week's episode, and it is brought to you by Patreon.com/AnHonorablePod, and of course, the Creative Control Network presents the greatness to all your favorite podcast providers!-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-Sign of Dishonor7/08/05Lake Grove, NYTag Team MatchDixie & Jay Lethal vs. The Heartbreak Express (Phil Davis & Sean Davis)Singles MatchRoderick Strong vs. AzriealROH Tag Team Title MatchBJ Whitmer & Jimmy Jacobs (c) vs. Lacey's Angels (Cheech & Deranged) (w/Cloudy & Lacey)Singles MatchJimmy Rave (w/Jade Chung, Mike Kruel & Prince Nana) vs. AJ StylesSingles MatchNigel McGuinness vs. Vorde

This one is a doozy; the day started with the news of Misawa's passing, then it was the night Ric Flair bailed on the company, Austin Aries won the belt for the second time, another night of burying Tyler Black in NYC, and some matches for the sake of matches. The two tag team matches on the show though...good stuff.So we talk about some stuff that went on behind the scenes with Flair, with the title change and how Tyler nearly got it before the fans became apathetic, office vs. locker room, and a bunch more stuff from June 2009!It's “Manhattan Mayhem III” on this week's episode, and it is brought to you by Patreon.com/AnHonorablePod, and of course, the Creative Control Network presents the greatness to all your favorite podcast providers!-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-Manhattan Mayhem III6/13/09NYC, NYTag Team MatchKenny King & Rhett Titus vs. The Young Bucks (Matt Jackson & Nick Jackson)Singles MatchNecro Butcher vs. Jimmy Rave (w/ Prince Nana & Dirty Ernie Osiris)Singles MatchRoderick Strong vs. Sonjay DuttF

FBC, today's episode is brought to you by those three letters...listen and you'll learn just why.During the Milestone Series of Spring 2006, ROH headed back to Basketball City for another show, the last one there thankfully, and it was headlined by a dream match that would STILL be a dream match if it happened 14 years later.On top of that classic, the SHIMMER four way blew away expectations, the CZW war escalated, Chris Daniels and Alex Shelley had a phenomenal match, and a whole lot more. Plus Hagadorn rants about Basketball City because...well, it's Basketball City!It's “Best In The World” on this week's episode, as voted on by our loyal audience, and brought to you by Patreon.com/AnHonorablePod, and of course, the Creative Control Network brings the greatness to all your favorite podcast providers!-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-Best In The World 2006 - 3/25/06 NYC, NYDark Match Mike Tobin vs. Mitch Franklin Dark Four Corner Survival Match Shane Hagadorn vs. Smash Bradley vs. Bobby Dempsey vs. Keenan Quinn Singles Match J

Time for trip in the wayback machine to 2012 when ROH kind of partnered with CHIKARA to have a little bit of interpromotional action that (quite similar to the CZW feud) did not acknowledge what the other side did at all! It was almost as if the CHIKARA show taking place earlier in the day didn't even happen in ROH Land! Regardless of that, the ROH half of the Saturday events marketed as “sYnerGy” provided a plethora of tag team action, the majority of which was a pleasure to behold, and then there was one other match...It's “UNITY” on this week's episode of An Honorable Mention, and as always we are hosted by the Creative Control Network and Presented by Spartan Data Recovery at SpartanDataRecovery.com!0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-UnityApril 28, 2012Chicago Ridge, ILTag Team MatchThe All-Night Express (Kenny King & Rhett Titus) vs. The House Of Truth
