– This past weekend on “Ring of Honor Wrestling” TV, ROH Match Maker Nigel McGuinness set up an atypical 5 Way Scramble, pitting the five individuals who stood up for ROH in the ten man tag at “Supercard of Honor VII” against one another with a shot at the World TV Title up for grabs. The bout got off to an auspicious start as, before the match could even begin, Roderick Strong came out to question McGuinness’ choice to include Mike Mondo in the bout instead of “Mr. Ring of Honor” as Strong likes to refer to himself. Eventually a fight broke out between Strong and Mondo before the other competitors came to the ring but once it was settled down and Roddy was taken away from ringside, the action got underway. Mondo, BJ Whitmer, Caprice Coleman, Cedric Alexander, and Mark Briscoe gave it all they had to earn the World TV Title match at “Border Wars 2013” but it came down to Mark scoring with the Froggy Elbow on Cedric to get the victory. Now on May 4th World TV Champion Matt Taven, with Truth Martini at his side, will defend the title against Mark Briscoe at “Border Wars 2013” live on iPPV!!
