Destination America is the place. Wednesday night at 8:00pm / 7:00pm central is the time. It's the Best Wrestling on the Planet, Ring of Honor wrestling!! Tune in tonight to see what the wrestling world is buzzing about!

This week’s Ring of Honor Television comes to you from the historic Ted Reeve Arena in Toronto, Canada.

New Japan Pro Wrestling Junior Heavyweight standout KUSHIDA will take on ROH Dojo graduate Will Ferrara! KUSHIDA is known for his quickness and agility, while Ferrara is known for his never say die attitude. Ferrara says he thrives on pressure and relishes being the underdog. Can he overcome the experience edge that KUSHIDA has?

“The Last Real Man†Silas Young is an angry individual with physical tools that are hard to match. He recently turned his back on this week’s opponent, Takaaki Watanabe, after he perceived Watanabe to not be a real man. Watanabe is a youngster with all the potential in the world. He is young and hungry for a victory in ROH. Can he measure up to “The Last Real Man�

Former NFL Star Moose, with Stokley Hathaway & Veda Scott, will take on The Decade’s BJ Whitmer. BJ has been making claims that he is the one to end the undefeated streak of Moose! Word got back to Moose and he requested this match. Is the Bully of the Decade ready for the intensity of Moose? Or is the leader of “Moose Nation†preparing to add another victim to growing list?

In our main event we will see the most decorated team in ROH history, former 8x World Tag Team Champions The Briscoes, battle ROH World Television Champion Jay Lethal & Donovan Dijak w/ Truth Martini. ROH World Champion Jay Briscoe will face ROH World Television Champion Jay Lethal at Best in The World ’15: Battle of The Belts. So this match could have major implications. Can The H.O.T. ensure that Jay Briscoe doesn't make it to Best in the World? The Briscoes are guaranteed to bring the war to the H.O.T. and that means trouble. Destination America will be the battleground for an epic main event that you will not want to miss!

The Best Wrestling on the Planet returns to Destination America this Wednesday night at 8:00 pm eastern / 7:00pm central.

The wrestling world is buzzing after Ring of Honor's intense debut on Destination America last week. This week’s Ring of Honor Television returns with 4 amazing matches and comes to you from the historic Ted Reeve Arena in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.

ROH World Tag Team Champions, The Addiction (Christopher Daniels & Frankie Kazarian) will take on the men from him they stole the championships, reDRagon (Bobby Fish & Kyle O’Reilly). Will The Addiction employ the services of their friend Chris Sabin as they did when they won the championships on a recent edition of ROH Television? Fish & O’Reilly are thirsty for retribution and will stop at nothing to get it. They want their championships back and get their opportunity this week!

Dalton Castle will take on Jushin “Thunder†Liger in a battle between and coming star and a bonafide wrestling legend. Castle has created a buzz among fans with his unique presence and in-sing style. New Japan Pro Wrestling legend Jushin Liger has won championships the world over. Castle is looking to make an impact during his Destination America debut and would love nothing more than to beat a legend! Liger will be no pushover and will provide Castle his toughest challenge to date.

Brutal Burgers have exploded! ROH cult favorite Cheeseburger will face the man who betrayed him, his former Brutal Burgers partner Bob Evans. The fans of Ring of Honor have always shown a fondness for the undersized underdog with an immeasurable heart. They despise “Brutal†Bob for his despicable actions. Cheeseburger will be coming for revenge while Evans will be aiming to finish Burger off.

The two hottest factions in professional wrestling collide as The Bullet Club takes on The Kingdom in our main event. Karl “Machine Gun†Anderson & Doc Gallows recently lost the IWGP Heavyweight Tag Team Championship to their opponents this week, Matt Taven & Michael Bennett. Karl Anderson blames the distractions provided by the Queen of the Kingdom, Maria Kanellis, for the loss. The antagonism between these teams has only been seen in Japan until now! Anderson & Gallows represent the Bullet Club, the dominant force in New Japan. Taven & Bennett represent the Kingdom, the dominant force in Ring of Honor. The battlefield has shifted from New Japan Pro Wrestling to Ring of Honor and you fans get to witness two of the best tag teams in the world battle it out this week on Ring of Honor Television on Destination America!

Decent episode last week. Good build to "Battle Of The Belts."

Really looking forward to Addiction vs reDRagon and Jushin Liger wrestling.

ROH 6/10/15 thoughts
-The Addiction aka the World Tag Team Champions of the World open up the show...They used that TNA awhile back, and fans got behind it get with it ROH fans. Daniels is the man who makes all the ladies go wild, and Antonio Banderas the wingman of all wingman Kazarian. You got to give Kyle O'Reily loads of credit to face off two veteran Wrestlers in Kaz and Daniels and hold his own by himself. It was a okay match, but I knew the match wouldn't last too long especially if Kyle started to look like he could win the tag titles for his ReDragon team. One of the most memorable spots in this match was Kyle on the Apron doing his own Warriors Way on top of Daniels and Kazarian as they sit in a Chair.

The Sexiest Man alive aka The Man with the most swag I've ever seen Dalton Castle vs Jushin Liger
-Can we say moment of the show this week, Liger posing like Dalton Castle?

I was so entertained by this match, Liger never ages and dude could legit go to 60 if he wanted to. Castle was so money in the ring with a Legend in this match, his stock is rising within ROH for Castle good for you my man.

Brutal vs Cheeseburger. I legit lol when Liger had a segment with Cheeseburger and slapped the shit outta him. Time to bring out your fighting spirit says Liger with that slap woof. Man how much does Cheeseburger weight, I have Tool Boxes that weight more than that man lol. Funny as I watched this match, Brutal needs less Cheeseburgers and Cheeseburger needs more Cheeseburgers in his stomach. This match was really a okay match, till Brutal nearly killed Cheeseburger with a backbreaker through a fucking Table sick as fuck!

The Bullet Club vs The Kingdom
-What a really good tag team match, I actually liked this show and tag match versus last weeks show with The Briscoes. Toronto fans were hot for both teams especially The Bullet Club who were quite impressive in this match. For a moment there, I actually thought Maria was going to get it...and sadly now Anderson not in Bed, but getting put through two Chairs. ROH did way better this week than last week, and I think it will show up in the ratings this week for sure.

 

[Austin Bates]

I really enjoyed this episode. I think it is mainly because of the first three matches. I hope new viewers don't get discouraged from watching ROH because of the three non finishes. It's not the norm for ROH.

I am loving the feud between The Addiction and reDRagon.

I love seeing Jushin Liger wrestle. It's a treat. I'm not sure what to make of Dalton Castle though. Is he a baby face or a heel? I know people are loving the act, but I just don't get it.

Bob Evans vs Cheeseburger was enjoyable. Evans yelling "I Hate You" while putting Burger through the table was awesome! Pretty funny moment. I'd be okay with seeing a rematch between these two.

The Bullet Club vs The Kingdom was eh. I didn't really enjoy it. I like seeing Gallows and Anderson wrestling though. I was thinking that Gallows and Anderson could get payback on Bennett and Taven at Best In The World, but the six man tag team match is going to be Young Bucks and AJ vs The Kingdom. Weird.

This week’s jam packed edition Ring of Honor Television returns with 3 huge matches and the contract signing of the biggest match in ROH history. We come to you from the historic Ted Reeve Arena in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.

BJ Whitmer & Adam Page of The Decade face the red hot War Machine, Raymond Rowe & Hanson. After last week’s sacrifice of Colby Corino to the monstrous Moose, BJ Whitmer looks to be public enemy number 1! Rowe & Hanson are on a roll with their eyes firmly set on the getting a chance at the ROH World Tag Team Championships. Are Whitmer and Page the ones who put a dent in the armor of War Machine? Or are Whitmer & Page going to be devoured by the awesome path of destruction that War Machine brings?

Cedric Alexander will take on the mighty Moose! Cedric was labeled as the future but has yet to win the big one! Moose is undefeated since debuting in ROH on June 22, 2014. Cedric sees this as his chance to prove he can win the big one. Defeating Moose will be no easy task. With Best in the World ’15 around the corner Moose is preparing for the biggest match of his life. The time might be right for Cedric to shock the wrestling world.

Ring of Honor brings a dream match to Destination America as New Japan Pro Wrestling’s Hiroshi Tanahashi & Tetsuya Naito will face #reborn Matt Sydal & ACH. Naito & Tanahashi have track records in Japan that speak for themselves. Sydal & ACH are starting to gain traction as a unit and a win here over two of the very best could solidify them as an elite unit.

The biggest match in Ring of Honor history is just days away! At Best in the World ’15 : Battle of The Belts ROH World Champion Jay Briscoe will face ROH World Television Champion Jay Lethal with the winner laying claim to both championships! There have been simmering tensions building as Lethal is claiming that he is not just the ROH World Television Champion but that he is the only champion! Briscoe has taken offense and stated that its time for Lethal to “Man-Up” and back up those words. Can these two huge personalities be contained? This episode of Ring of Honor Television on Destination America will see the contract signing of this historic match up and you will not want to miss it!

Be sure to catch Ring of Honor Television live every Wednesday night at 8:00pm Eastern / 7:00pm Central on Destination America.

BULLET CLUB VS CHAOS ON DESTINATION AMERICA TONIGHT
Every Wednesday at 8/7c!

In this amazing hour of professional wrestling, you will see a battle between two of the very best in the world! A monster seeking the path to regaining a championship he once held so dearly and an insane six man tag team match up featuring stars of New Japan Pro Wrestling!

It’s the “King of Strong Style†Shinsuke Nakamura versus “Mr. ROH†Roderick Strong. Nakamura is unique and creates a buzz with his just his appearance, but don’t let it fool you. There is a hard hitting technician behind all that flash with a championship pedigree. Strong has had a record setting 2015 and shows no signs of slowing down. Who are you pulling for? Tune in and see why many have called this a dream match!

“Unbreakable†Michael Elgin, the former ROH World Champion, claims that Ring of Honor turned its back on him and that he should be given the opportunity to prove himself against the best in the world: anyone and any style. ROH officials have taken him up on that challenge and have signed him to face a man who has held 28 championships across the world, Gedo! Gedo is a crafty veteran who is capable of defeating anyone. Elgin is on a mission and Gedo could be his next victim!

Its the BULLET CLUB vs. CHAOS right here on Ring of Honor Television! These two factions have traded championships in New Japan Pro Wrestling and their rivalry is primed to reach new levels! "The Phenomenal" AJ Styles is the current IWGP Heavyweight Champion, winning the championship from Kazuchika “Rainmaker†Okada this past February. The flashiest tag team in professional wrestling, The Young Bucks, defeated Roppongi Vice (Rocky Romero & BARETTA) to win their 3rd IWGP Jr. Heavyweight Tag Team Championships this past May. The Bullet Club is all about bragging while CHAOS is all about standing up for their beliefs. These two factions stand for very different things, though their goals are similar. This six man match-up is about revenge and pride! Grab a seat, sit back and watch why Ring of Honor is the best wrestling on the planet, this week on Destination America!

We're only a few days removed from Best in the World, is anyone watching Ring of Honor on Destination America?

 

[Austin Bates]

It was awesome watching an hour full of wrestling! Strong and Nakamura was an enjoyable match. I think it's fine that Nakamura beat the #1 contender too. No shame in Strong losing this match. I think Michael Elgin needed the win. He needs to get the right personality though. The six man tag main event was enjoyable, creative action.

 

[Postman Dave]

First ROH TV I've seen in ages.

Okada/Gedo vs. Addiction was fine for what it was.

Watanabe/Page was just there. Haven't seen either guy wrestle before & wasn't sold on either after this.

Styles/Cole took a while but got real awesome at the end. That's quite the vicious finishing sequence from Styles.

 

[JakeYourBooty]

Styles Cole was great and I really liked the tag match but unlike you I love The Addiction

TBF I don't dislike the Addiction, although I do feel there are better options for tag champs in the company. I feel like they're only champs to help with the Destination America crowd.

Two weeks of ROH TV in a row! Go me!

Watanabe vs. Dalton was okay. Not sold on Watanabe at all after two performances. Castle is of course fucking awesome.

ROH really need to sort out how to get Lethal across right now. They want him as a heel, but he comes across as a pretty big face again in this promo. Hell yeah I wanna cheer the guy who's gonna hold and defend both betls, who doesn't want to support that guy?

"Michael Elgin has turned over a new leaf", aka abrupt face turn. Little to no reaction to his entrance as well, no one needs a good G1 more than this guy.

Main event was the usual 6 man tag fun. I've become a big mark for 6 man tags over the last couple of years and whilst this definitely isn't in the upper level, it was still good. With the pending Cole face turn & Elgin's random turn, can't help but feel we're starting to line up challengers for a long Lethal World title run.

Who do you think would make better tag champions than The Addiction?

 

[Postman Dave]

Who do you think would make better tag champions than The Addiction?

The Kingdom would be my first pick. Running around with the tag straps (not the IWGP ones) would suit their gimmick to the bone. Plus I think having a younger team finally dethrone reDragon would have been a better move.
