ROH: Field of Honor Results

Ring of Honor (ROH) and New Japan Pro Wrestling (NJPW) teamed up again to provide another spectacular show in Field of Honor.

Saturday night Ring of Honor held their second annual Ring of Honor. The event was again at MCU Park in Brooklyn, NY, however this year New Japan Pro Wrestling was also involved in the event. Despite competing with NXT Take Over held at the Barclays Center, the ballpark was still close to being completely sold out with roughly 4,000 people in attendance. Below are the match results and a brief summary on each match.

Adam Cole defeats Christopher Daniels (with Chris Sabin) via Pinfall

Great opening match to start the night. These two went back and forth for a little over 10 minutes. Chris Sabin tried to interfere which ended up backfiring and costing Sabin the match. Adam Cole continues to win, further strengthening his momentum as he tries to win the ROH World Championship once again.

War Machine (Hanson and Ray Rowe) defeated Killer Elite Squad (Davey Boy Smith Jr. and Lance Archer) via Pinfall

Of all the matches that took place this was definitely the weakest. It wasn’t a terrible match, but compared to the rest of the card this match just wasn’t on par with the others. War Machine get a huge win defeating the GHC and NWA Tag Team Champions. War Machine look like the next team to battle The Addiction for the tag titles. This win certainly helps solidify them as the next contenders for the ROH Tag Titles.

Takaaki Watanabe wins the 9 man gauntlet defeating Dalton Castle, Adam Page, Frankie Kazarian, Silas Young, Bushwhacker Luke, Moose, Donovan Dijak and Cedric Alexander

This match was 8 matches rolled into 1 and it was very entertaining. Dalton Castle and Moose were extremely over with the crowd with both winning two matches. Bushwhacker Luke was in for a quick pop and nostalgia. He did nothing physical and was counted out while he was doing in classic walk around the ball field. With Watanabe winning he will now wrestle for the TV Championship at a future ROH event.

Matt Sydal, ACH and The Young Bucks (Matt Jackson and Nick Jackson) defeated The Kingdom (Matt Taven and Michael Bennett) (with Maria Kanellis) and Roppongi Vice (Baretta and Rocky Romero) via Pinfall

This match was fantastic and showcased four of the best tag teams in the world. The Young Bucks were extremely over with the crowd and were by far the most popular team out there. The match was conducted in a very fast pace with a ton of high spots and double team moves. An interesting side note happened when Matt Taven gum went flying out and landed on man’s head sitting in the front row. Maria Kanellis ran over and cleaned the man’s head off, very funny. The match ended with all four members hit either a moonsault or 450 splash on Taven with Sydal earning the pinfall.

Hirooki Goto defeated Michael Elgin via Pinfall

This was smash mouth in your face type of match. A lot of stiff shots and punches with the match going back and forth. Elgin really showed how good he is the ring last month in G1 Climax tournament holding his own with Japan’s best. Despite losing Elgin looked really good against Goto. This was an entertaining match and Elgin continues to prove that he can keep up with the best wrestlers in the world.

The Briscoes (Jay Briscoe and Mark Briscoe) defeated Time Splitters (Alex Shelley and Kushida) via Pinfall

Both teams were extremely over with the crowd. Mark Briscoe actually ran into the crowd during the Briscoe’s entrance which was very cool. The teams switched momentum many times and both teams had multiple close counts. A funny moment in the match happened when Kushida out of nowhere did John Cena’s you cant see me taunt to the Briscoe’s. The match ended with Jay Briscoe landing a stiff piledriver on Shelley for the pinfall. A lot of people in the crowd feared that Shelley was legitimately hurt from the move. Thankfully, that wasn’t the case as Shelley got up shaking the Briscoe’s hand for a good match.

Kazuchika Okada defeated Roderick Strong via Pinfall

This was the best match of the night. Both superstars were extremely over with the crowd. Just like the previous match the two switched momentum and close counts. Okada won the match by landing a german suplex then connecting with his rainmaker clothesline. After the match the two shook hands and raised each other’s arms in respect. Despite losing Strong looked excellent in this match keeping up with one of the top wrestler’s in the world in Okada. Strong continues to build momentum as he looks to dethrone Jay Lethal as ROH world champion.

Jay Lethal (with Truth Martini) and Shinsuke Nakamura defeated reDRagon (Bobby Fish and Kyle O’Reilly) via Pinfall

The crowd was behind Shinsuke Nakamura and constantly cheered his name throughout the match. Playing to his heel character Lethal refused for the first part of the match to tag in Nakamura, causing the crowd to get angry. Eventually Nakamura is tagged in and the crowd erupted. The teams begin to exchange momentum, with Redragon gaining the upper hand due to Lethal and Nakamura arguing. Towards the end of the match Truth Martini jumps onto the apron trying to give Nakamura The Book of Truth to use as a weapon. Nakamura instead takes the book and throws it out of the ring. This causes Nakamura and Lethal to argue again but before Redragon can get the upper hand Nakamura is able to lock in his armbar on Fish and Lethal hits the Lethal Injection on O’Reilly for the pinfall. After the match Nakamura shakes both members of Redragon’s hands and then salutes the crowd and does his YeaOh pose, ending the night.

Overall Rating for the Event- 4.3 stars out of 5

Jay’s Note– This was a fantastic event and certainly matched the NXT event at the Barclays center. The NJPW stars were a great addition and really sparked interest into the event. The only two small complaints I had over the event was the fact that AJ Styles was absent from the event. With the run AJ has had in NJPW and in ROH over the last year and a half it would’ve been great to see the phenomenal one compete. The other is the fact that Nakamura was placed in a tag team match. Nakamura was the most over star at the event and I believe the crowd would’ve preferred The King of Strong Style being in a singles match. Besides these two small complaints this was a great event as ROH and NJPW partnership continues to thrive.
