Ring of Honor "Best in the World 2014"
June 22nd, 2014
From the Tennessee State Fairgrounds in Nashville, Tennessee
Commentators: Kevin Kelly and Steve Corino

Pretty good opening promo.

Tonight Michael Elgin challenges Adam Cole for the Ring of Honor World Heavyweight Championship and the Tag Team and Television Titles will be defended.

Six Man Mayhem to determine the number one contender for the Ring of Honor World Television Championship
ACH vs. Watanabe vs. Caprice Coleman vs. BJ Whitmer w/Adam Page vs. TaDarius Thomas vs. Tommaso Ciampa
So BJ Whitmer and TaDarius Thomas were both members of the Decade at this time. I figured I'd just point that out. This Six Man Mayhem match has some weird rules like only two guys in the ring at once, tagging in other guys and something about guys leaving the ring and another guy being allowed to enter the ring. But it's one fall to a finish. Whatever. It should have just been a six-man match since I'm sure without the commentators there to explain it the crowd was probably just confused at why people were tagging each other in. All that said this was an entertaining match and a good opener. All the guys looked as good as you'd expect.
Winner: ACH (new number one contender for the Ring of Honor World Television Championship)
Code of Honor between adhered ACH and Tommaso Ciampa. Then BJ Whitmer and Steve Corino argue.

Recap of the feud between Matt Taven and the House of Truth. Truth Martini will be handcuffed to the ring for the following match to prevent him from interfering.

For the Ring of Honor World Television Championship
Matt Taven vs. Jay Lethal (champion) w/Truth Martini and Seleziya
Not to much to get excited about here except Joey Diesel/Daddiego getting involved to keep Taven away from Martini.
Winner: Jay Lethal

Recap of the feud between Cedric Alexander and Roderick Strong/the Decade.

Submission Match
Roderick Strong w/the Decade vs. Cedric Alexander
This match was pretty boring until an insane Monkey Flip outside the ring that ended with Cedric's back getting smoked by the hardest part of the ring. Aside from that and a fan throwing a streamer into the ring mid-match this wasn’t to thrilling. Not bad but whatever.
Winner: Cedric Alexander
Roderick denies Cedric the Code of Honor afterwards.

Recap of Matt Hardy, the Kingdom, the ICON title and the Briscoes.

Michael Bennett & Matt Hardy w/Maria Kanellis and Nick Searcy vs. the Briscoes
This match was really going nowhere when “my favourite” Michael Bennett ended it early with a shot from the ICON title.
Winners: the Briscoes via disqualification

Nigel McGuinness comes out and restarts the match as a No Disqualifications match (and joins the commentary team).

No Disqualifications
Michael Bennett & Matt Hardy w/Maria Kanellis and Nick Searcy vs. the Briscoes
THANK GOD! This show needed my actual favourites (the Briscoes) brutalizing my most loathed (Bennett). This wasn't too insane but this show has been really boring so I'll take it.
Winners: the Briscoes

Recap of a recent event where Adam Cole shaved Michael Elgins head and put his wife in a submission move. The submission move was bad...but cutting that mullet off was probably doing Elgin a favour.

Larry Mercer and Mandy Leon are with the latest Ring of Honor signee Moose. He's willing to work his butt off to get to the too. Veda Scott and Ramon come out to offer their services to Moose. He says they'll "talk later". I may as well make a joke or something…I’ve seen porn start off like this. Was that funny? Whatever.

Recap of the history between Kevin Steen and Silas Young. Gee, I wonder who's going to win this match?

Silas Young vs. Kevin Steen
This was okay. When I saw "Silas Young verses (rumoured to be leaving soon at the time) Kevin Steen" I pretty much knew how it was going to end.
Winner: Kevin Steen
Steen gets a mic and compliments Young for his wrestling skills and for going out to make a name for himself. He then announces that his contract with Ring of Honor is up in a month and a half. Him and Silas shake hands. He thanks the crowd then Silas attacks him from behind.

Silas rules.

For the Ring of Honor World Tag Team Championships
Christopher Daniels & Frankie Kazarian vs. reDRagon (champions)
This was a good match. I'm pretty "out" of this show now though and I missed a lot by just “vegging”.
Winners: reDRagon
Code of Honor adhered to.

Recap of what led to tonight's title match, featuring some horrible readings by _ and Mandy Leon.

For the Ring of Honor World Heavyweight Championship
Michael Elgin vs. Adam Cole (champion)
This was a really good match. Not groundbreaking but it made the show worth watching. I liked the "we fucked up" chant from the crowd during the premature celebration. The ending was really vicious.
Winner: Michael Elgin (new Ring of Honor World Heavyweight Champion)
____________________________________________________

I can’t say much tonight. This really wasn’t a very good show. And apparently this was Ring of Honors first actual "pay per view". I dunno, you'd think they'd have pulled a bit more out. ...especially with the WWE giving away and making pay pre views obsolete three months earlier. The main event was really good and the Briscoes matches was entertaining once it became no disqualifications. But I bought this show during one of those crazy Ring of Honor DVD sales so it cost me something like three dollars. I think if I’d have payed forty dollars for this I’d have felt a little ripped off.

DVD bonus features:
A ton of promos I don't feel like watching.
