More matches announced this week on ROH TV but these bums ain't updated their website yet with images:

Jay Lethal and Jonathan Gresham are defending against Mark Briscoe and his partner that he chose since Jay is off finding his narrative against EC3....PCO. Gresham also pulling double duty and defending his Pure Championship against Flip Gordon. Then Matt Taven and Mike Bennett are teaming up again against Vinny and Bateman.

Honestly, I'm not really all that sold. Might only watch this depending on the time I have that weekend and if there's no WWE/AEW/Impact for me to catch up on.

First ever Pure Tag Team match has been announced and bruh these rules lmao:

• The Code of Honor is required.
• A legal tag requires the wrestler on the apron to reach over the top rope and tag his partner hand-to-hand while holding the tag rope with his other hand.
• Each wrestler has five seconds to exit the ring after a tag is made.
• Each team has three rope breaks to stop submission holds and pinfall attempts. After a team exhausts their rope breaks, submission and pin attempts on or under the ropes by the opponent are considered legal.
• Each time a team breaks up a pinfall or submission, that team will lose a rope break. Breaking up a pinfall or submission when a team is out of rope breaks will result in a disqualification.
• Closed-fist punches to the face are not permitted -- only open-handed slaps or chops to the face are allowed. Punches to other parts of the body are permitted excluding low blows. The first use of a closed fist will get a warning. The second will be a disqualification.
• Interference from any wrestler will result in automatic termination from the roster for the wrestler that interferes.
• Matches that reach the time limit will go to a judges' decision.
• There's a 20-second count on the floor.

Anyway it's Rhett Titus and Tracy Williams of The Foundation taking on Fred Yehi and Wheeler Yuta.

Also Danhausen now against Brian Johnson

Some of these matches man...

I'm really hanging my hopes on RUSH vs. King and the maybe the Pure tag match.

 

[Chris]

Bum ass company doesn't even keep their website updated as matches are announced

 

[Chris]

First hour gonna be broadcast for free on Facebook, YouTube, etc. It's a 4 hour show so it's essentially 3 hours with a 1 hour pre-show at this point which is a format I kinda like. That fatal 4 way for the TV title shot later in the night is gonna be on the free hour. Also here's an updated card since bum ass ROH doesn't update their website so idk if the OP is right anymore

• Jay Briscoe vs. EC3
• ROH Pure Champion Jonathan Gresham defends his title against Flip Gordon
• ROH Tag Team Champions Jay Lethal & Jonathan Gresham defend their titles against Mark Briscoe & PCO

• ROH Television Champion Dragon Lee defends his title against the winner of the four-way match from Final Battle Hour One
• ROH Six-Man Tag Team Champions Bandido, Flamita & Rey Horus defend their titles against Shane Taylor & The Soldiers of Savagery (Moses & Kaun)
• Pure Rules tag match: Tracy Williams & Rhett Titus vs. Fred Yehi & Wheeler Yuta
• Danhausen vs. Brian Johnson
• Final Battle hour one: Tony Deppen vs. Dak Draper vs. LSG vs. Josh Woods (winner will challenge Dragon Lee for the ROH Television Championship later in the night)

EC3 has confirmed that he has tested positive for COVID-19. He revealed his positive diagnosis to Chris Van Vliet. As a result, he will not be a part of Ring of Honor’s Final Battle event this Friday.

EC3 confirming he has it

I also read that Kenny King tested positive bc he had antibodies from having it earlier in the year but like doesn't have it at all and they still won't let him wrestle in the state of Maryland still or something
