Ring of Honor on HonorClub 4/23/2026

Last week's show is here: https://prowresblog.blogspot.com/2026/04/ring-of-honor-on-honorclub-4172026.html

Caprice Coleman and Ian Riccaboni are on commentary.

The Premier Athletes (Ari Davari, Stori Danali and Tony Nese) vs Brandon Cutler, Terry Kid and Angelica Risk

Mark says it's been 189 days since he was attacked and it's been glorious. He says Cutler is wrestling as The Bucks didn't need their gear washed today. The Athletes then do their cheer.

Stori shakes hands with Risk and throws her down by the hair. Stori spinning heel kicks her in the corner and foot chokes her. Stori sends her hard into the buckles, sending her down. Stori knees Risk in the gut and foot chokes her.

Cutler and Ari get in. Cutler hits punches. Cutler springboard twisting crossbodies him. Nese crotches Cutler on the top rope. Cutler 2nd rope hurricanrana's him down. Mark Sterling distracts Cutler and Cutler goes after him. Stori nails Cutler from behind. Nese plancha's Terry outside.

Stori black hole slams Risk. She then chokeslams her for the win.

Thoughts: It was a squash as expected with The Athletes winning. Stori did a little better than usual and Cutler had a highlight or two before this ended. 

Mark Davis vs Beef

Beef offers a handshake and Mark declines. Mark backs him up on the ropes and clean breaks. Beef backs him up on the ropes then side headlocks him. They shoulder battle. Mark shoulders him over then Beef shoulders him out. 

Beef punches Mark outside then Mark chops him down outside. They fight on the apron. Beef headbutts him and lariats him in the leg. Mark buttdrops Beef on the apron edge. Mark chops him down. Mark slams him and misses a senton. Beef cartwheels off the ropes and dropkicks him.

Beef misses a top rope splash. Mark enzugiri's him. Mark hits a big running lariat and pins him.

Thoughts: It was a good match as expected and was done well. They stiffed each other with lariats and chops and knocked each other around. That was exactly what it should have been and this was a major success. Mark Davis continues to be the most improved wrestler of 2026 and is on a heck of a run. They need to do this again on Collision. 

MxM TV (Mansoor, Mason Madden and Johnny TV) vs Main Man Oro, Keagan Garland and Angel Fashion

Garland is Scotty 2 Hotty's son. Oro was Oro Mensah in NXT and Angel's done some jobs here before.

Angel mocks JTV's new bald haircut. JTV pulls Angel down by the hair then hits forearms. JTV hits forearms in the corner. Madden pulls JTV off of him. Oro chops Mansoor then flipping koppo kicks him. Garland 2nd rope double axe handles Mansoor. Garland side headlocks him then is caught with a leg lariat + spinebuster.

Garland superkicks Madden then hits mounted corner punches. Madden does a double chokeslam while doing a powerbomb in an impressive spot.

JTV dives through his partners legs with a tope outside. JTV misses a springboard kick then Garland facebusters JTV. Garland then goes for the worm elbow drop but Madden interrupts it. Garland takes a triple team ddt and is pinned.

Thoughts: It was a short squash. We barely saw Oro or Angel at all here. Garland has a likeability to him and can do the worm but I'm not sure what else he can do yet. This was entertaining.

Lee Moriarty does a sit down taped interview with Caprice Coleman. Coleman says he's good friends with Shane Taylor. He says sometimes Lee is a great wrestler and sometimes he stomps it out like a gang member. Lee says says he was trying to figure out who he was when he first got hooked up with Shane but now realized he's the best pure wrestler. He says he understands why Shane's crew does what he does. He doesn't condone all the outside the ring stuff but does understand it. 

Coleman says he has a different lane than the crew. Lee says he was being young and trying things before. He says Shane didn't tell him to be him but to be who he is. Lee says being the artist of the sport got him to where he is. He says Shane is the coach and fight promoter. He says he's someone he can run things by. 

Coleman says he's interesting as he's a wrestler and legit artist. Lee says he was drawing before he started wrestling. He says he drew VHS covers. He says he couldn't get drawing books so he'd learn from VHS covers and trading cards. Lee says he only started painting 4 years ago. Coleman says his paintings have sold for thousands of dollars. Coleman says he's an artist in and out of the ring. Lee says having a vision of where he wants to go helps him with wrestling. Lee quotes Bruce Lee and the segment ends.

Thoughts: Talking segments may not be the sexiest thing on paper but this worked. We learned a bit more about Lee and he came off well. They did a good job with this here and this was mission accomplished.

Thoughts: It was fine and fairly straight forward with Dia attacking the ankle, making her use her ropebreaks and submitting her.

Dia fujiwara armbars her after.

Thoughts: It was a random one but it was fine. It didn't get a lot of time. Cole looked like he got hi head taken off with a flying Griff lariat. The big news here is that Jacked Jameson is now bald.

BS top rope swantons her for 2 when she pulls her up on the pin attempt. BS traps her arm and gordbusters her to win.

Thoughts: Starkz won as expected but it took longer than I thought it would. It was acceptable but nothing too special. It was filler for the most part.  

Tornado Tag Team Match - Adam Priest & Tommy Billington vs. The Swirl (Blake Christian & Lee Johnson)

The faces charge in and go after the heels. AP chops Lee outside and euros him down. AP slams Lee on the floor. BC takes a double back body drop and Lee takes a double back elbow.

The four trade chops. BC superkicks AP then Tom takes kicks. BC legdrops Tom. AP hits a double flying lariat. AP comes off the top but lands onto a chair Lee had grabbed. AP takes a top rope double stomp + death valley driver and is pinned.

Thoughts: The faces said they wanted to come for the heels and it took them about 7 weeks to do so. It was a good bout here. They were aggressive and stiffed each other and they kept up a fast pace. That top rope spanish fly spot was super dangerous and they barely made it over. This was well done for the most part. 

Overall thoughts: It was the usual random ROH show. ROH has 8 title belts including trios belts and tag belts and somehow not a single one of those 11 champs made the show. That's impressive. We started off with a squash. Mark Davis vs Beef was the match of the night and was a good heavyweight slugfest. MxM TV won a squash. We had a good Lee Morarity interview. Ellering/Diamante made sense. The 8-man was random but alright. Billie/Hyan went a little long but was acceptable. The main was good. It was a good night in-ring wise for ROH but as usual, not a lot was going on storyline wise. I'd give it a 6 out of 10 and I'd say it was good only for the matches turning out well.
