Ring of Honor Wrestling on Sinclair (Road Rage Edition)
June 15, 2013
Richmond, Virginia
Report by: Jason Namako of Wrestleview.com
This is a special “Road Rage” edition of the show this week, where we will see matches from the May 18th Relentless show in Richmond, Virginia. We go to the ROH studios and our host is Steve Corino. Corino says that someone must have given Kevin Kelly the wrong directions to the studio. Corino says he hopes the fans enjoy this show while they last because the ship is sinking. Everyone is jealous because they will bow down to the next and last ROH Champion, the greatest human being known to man, Matt Hardy. At Best in the World, SCUM will win the TV & Tag Team Titles when Rhett Titus, Cliff Compton & Jimmy Jacobs bring home the gold to SCUM. Corino finally says he hopes that the 6 men in our 1st match injure themselves.
We go to our 1st match in progress.

Commercial
Back from commercial, we go to a promo from BJ Whitmer. Whitmer says he hopes that Jay Briscoe earlier today looked deep inside himself and asked what the ROH World Title means to him. The ROH World Title means more than being the best, it means my redemption from years of self-destructive behavior. If that title means to you, Jay, that you are the best, tonight, I walk out the new ROH World Champion.
Back in the ROH Studios, Corino, in a mocking voice, says he will not say what the ROH management wants him to say. He talks about truth and the truth he has talked about will come true at Best in the World when SCUM wins the ROH TV & Tag Titles and finally, Matt Hardy defeats Kevin Steen. Matt Hardy will then win the World Title and last of all, SCUM will defeat ROH in Steel Cage Warfare and he will take Nigel McGuinness’s job as matchmaker. Corino says he has waited 11 years to kill ROH and his prophecy will come true. His spiritual son will be World Champion and they will sit in their kingdom of heaven to look down upon the bodies they have vanquished.
We go to our next match.
