Short synopsis for each Wrestler and Match of the Day blogs this week.

Today's Wrestler of the Day is the awe-inspiring Ricochet!

Ricochet has been gracing rings on the American independent circuit and Internationally for the past decade. With his unmatched high-flying arsenal and his charisma, Ricochet is definitely one those guys you need to keep your eye out on for the next decade. Also... PRINCE PUMA ANYONE?

Here's a favorite of mine, where he faces off against revolutionary Junior Heavyweight, Jushin "Thunder" Liger!

The Code of Honor - Ring of Honor Wrestling recap for October 10, 2015

Matt Sydal beats ACH in an incredible match to tie the Best of Five Series at two wins a piece. After the match, Sydal holds up the peace sign (which ACH did earlier in the match), signifying that he's two wins in the series. Suddenly, The Addiction (Christopher Daniels, Frankie Kazarian, Chris Sabin) ambush both ACH and Sydal.

Frankie Kazarian claims that their ROH World Tag Team titles were "stolen" from them and calls ROH tyrannical. Kaz then mocks a "Texan accent", and they demand that justice is served. Daniels says that he is addressing the "charlottian" that interfered in their match (who turned out to be Chris Sabin, their partner). He also blames Nigel McGuiness for their title loss and still declares the team champions. The ANX (Rhett Titus & Kenny King) interrupt Daniels' rant, in which Titus says that the "ANX party is in town". King says that he and Titus are the actual unpinned, un-submitted tag team champions, and King states their claim to being ROH World Tag Team Champions once again.

During the commercial break, Nigel McGuiness signed a tag team match for Ring of Honor television next: All Night Xpress vs. The Addiction!

Silas Young, along with Beer City Bruiser and Dalton Castle's former boys are in the ring. Silas is chomping down their throats already, telling them to get actual wrestling gear and rid themselves of their trademark Castle attire. Silas then says that he's gonna teach them to be men by having them wrestle in matches, which he signals for the Beer City Bruiser to attack them and start an impromptu tag match.

Silas Young & The Beer City Bruiser quickly beat The Boys. Beer City Bruiser carries the latter out after the match.

Truth Martini and Jay Lethal says that Takaaki Watanabe is going to get the biggest English lesson of his life by saying, "Jay Lethal is the best wrestler in the world."

"The Exotic Goddess" Mandy Leon breaks down the fallout of the ROH World Title main event at All-Star Extravaganza and The Kindgom's domination on this week's "Inside ROH".

Jay Lethal beats Takaaki Watanabe to retain the ROH World Television Championship!

Wrestler of the Day - 10/9: La Rosa Negra!

Today's Wrestler of the Day is the awesome female indy sensation, La Rosa Negra!

La Rosa Negra was recommended to me by a good friend of mine's so I decided to go with it. I actually first got a glimpse of La Rosa Negra during her tenure in the World Wrestling Council of Puerto Rico, where she a former three-time WWC Women's Champion. She has worked in numerous American independent circuit promotions, including SHINE and Pro Wrestling Syndicate. Now, she's on tour in Japan, where she is the current High Speed Champion for the all-female World Wonder Ring Stardom promotion. To be honest, I wish I would have known about her much earlier than I did did. She's the real deal. Don't believe me? Check out this match below:

Wrestler of the Day - 10/3: A.J. Styles!

I apologize for the lateness. Weather's been really nerve-racking down here. Just going to make these next couple of posts short and sweet.

Today's Wrestler of the Day is "The Phenomenal" AJ Styles, whom I believe has been on the top o his game every since his departure from TNA over a year ago. Now, he is one of the best gajins of recent memory, and he is a member of the global phenomenon known as The Bullet Club. With two reigns as IWGP Heavyweight Champion already under his belt, what is next for "The Phenomenal One"?

Here is a classic encounter in New Japan Pro Wrestling, when he faces of against Tetsuya Naito from this year's WrestleKingdom 9!

Match of the Day - 10/1/2015: Steenrico vs. The Young Bucks!

Today’s Match of the Day goes to Steenrico (Kevin Steen & El Generico) vs. The Young Bucks (Matt & Nick Jackson)! This match took place at Final Battle 2009, and if there is one thing that Ring of Honor is well-known for, it is for their outstanding tag team division, and this match certainly does not disappoint. This is one of my all-time favorite Ring of Honor tag team matches, simply because it’s amazing! To be honest, this is the match that truly defined both tag teams. No wonder they have become so successful in other companies. El Generico and Kevin Steen would go to have success in the WWE and NXT developmental territories, where they both held the NXT Championship, and even revamp their longtime rivalry. The Young Bucks would go to become multi-time global double champions, and enjoy success as member of the global phenomenon known as The Bullet Club. This match is going to be a fun one. So sit back…. Or sit on the edge of your seats for that matter, and enjoy this match!

Wrestler of the Day - 10/1: The Briscoes (Jay & Mark)!

Today’s Wrestlers of the Day goes to the tag team of “Dem Boys” Jay and Mark Briscoe!

The Briscoes are what Ring of Honor is all about. Seriously, the two have been a fixture in ROH since the very first show back in 2002, and they are the only originals to have stayed with the company for 13+ years. They have held the ROH World Tag Team Championships more than any other team (8 times), and Jay has went to enjoy success as a singles wrestler. Jay has held the ROH World Championship twice, thus establishing himself as a formidable singles competitor. Don’t underestimate Mark Briscoe, though. He was one of the biggest threats to his own brother’s fist reign as ROH World Champion! What I love about these two is that they are not going by a persona, they are truly being their crazy selves out there. Have you seen their promos? It is some of the funniest and entertaining things you will ever see! Stupidly enough, the major leagues (cough WWE cough) did not sign them to a contract, because they were not “cosmetically pleasing” enough for the company. Oh, well, it’s their loss.

Here’s a good one, where the team faces off against the up-and-coming tag team of War Machine (Raymond Rowe & Hanson)!

Wrestler of the Day - 9/25: "Mr. GMSI" Brian Cage!

Today’s Wrestler of the Day is one of the top agile big men on the scene today, “The F’n Machine” Brian Cage.

Seriously, 2015 has been the year of Cage. He has been making waves in the Mexican promotion Asistencia Asesoría y Administración (AAA), and has quickly become one of the top rudos in Mexico today. His “Pro-Trump” persona was one that has shocked many, and has caused major heat among the Mexican fans. Cage is also known for performing in Lucha Underground as the “epiphysis of Lucha Libre”, and is known for having little regard for the Lucha Libre culture. Cage is also an accomplished bodybuilder, but wrestling has always been his first love. He began bodybuilding to increase his body mass for the wrestling business (he has repeatedly said that he graduate high school at 154 lbs!), and as you can see today’s – this dude is jacked!! Cage continues to grow in the pro wrestling business, and it is only a matter of time that he reaches the top of the mountain, because he’s not a man… HE’S A MACHINE!!!

Here’s Cage at his very best, against Alberto El Patron in a Street Fight for AAA.

Match of the Day - 9/24/2015: Cage vs. The Mack!

The inaugural Ultima Lucha kicked off with a bang when these two collided in a Falls Count Anywhere Match. Today’s Match of the Day? “The Machine” Cage vs. The Mack! Lucha Underground proprietor Dario Cueto is infatuated by violence, and I know that he was pleased when these two monsters kicked each other’s asses all around the temple! Crazy spots came at the expense of both competitors, and there was not one time that these two were in the ring. They were everywhere but! They even ascended the match to the top of Dario Cueto’s office. Man, this match may have been under ten minutes, but they definitely told a story of how much they despised each other. But, what more can you expect? These two have been tearing it up on the independent circuit since 2008!

Enjoy this one, everybody. It doesn’t get as intense as this!

Wrestler of the Day - 9/24: Mandy Leon!

Do you remember Adam Rose’s Rosebuds? Well, today’s Wrestler of the Day is a former Rosebud and an up-and-coming women’s wrestler, “The Exotic Goddess” Mandy Leon.

Trained by Delirious in the renowned Ring of Honor Dojo, Mandy made her debut at Future of Honor in April 2014. Just two months after her debut, she captured her first professional wrestling title, the VOW Vixen’s Championship. She would then go on to join the ROH Broadcast team as she does the weekly “Inside ROH” segments. Now, she is currently holding her second title, the Fox’s Vixen’s title, and she has a bright future ahead of her. In just a year’s time, she’s held two women’s titles, worked ROH events and has toured throughout the Northeast region of the American independent circuit. That’s pretty impressive.

Check her out here, where she wrestles Deonna Purrazzo in a Women of Honor match for Ring of Honor.

Match of the Day - 9/21/2015: RVD vs. Sabu!

Okay, folks. Brace yourselves as we take it to the extreme! We’re going back to 90s, and to the hardcore haven of Extreme Championship Wrestling for our Match of the Day. Today’s Match of the Day goes to RVD vs Sabu in a Stretcher Match. These two are noted for their chronicle of matches they’ve had throughout the 90s and into the early 00s. They are also without a doubt two of the best high flyers to ever grace a professional wrestling ring. Just watching these two put their bodies through the inevitable is enough to appreciate their hard work and perseverance (these two things are what was also seen as “hardcore” to original ECW fans). So, ladies and gentlemen, I present to you, “The Whole F’n Show” and the "The Homicidal, Suicidal, Genocidal, Death–Defying Man"!

Wrestler of the Day - 9/18: Ivelisse Velez!

Heading into my fourth “Wrestler of the Day” post with a little badassery, if you will. Of course, you can’t do a post like this without women’s wrestling, right? Well, here’s the first female who’s going to take the prize for today.

    

Today’s “Wrestler of the Day is the “Baddest Bitch in the Building” (I had to, I just had to.), Ivelisse Velez! Some of you may remember her as Sofia Cortez in the FCW/NXT development territory for WWE. Shockingly (and sadly), she got released from the WWE before she could even get on the main roster, which is a huge loss on their part, but we digress… Now, she currently wrestles on American independent circuit and in Latin America (more specifically Mexico and her native Puerto Rico), where she has held numerous women’s titles: including the Shine, PWR, FEW and WWL championships. She is also well-known for performing in Lucha Underground (where she got her “baddest bitch” moniker from), and is a former (and inaugural) Trios Tag Team Champion with Angelico and Son of Havoc.

What’s crazy to me is that these idiots (cough WWE & TNA cough) let her go! She has that star quality that is needed on these top tier promotions. Nonetheless, she continues to put on amazing matches wherever she goes. But, hey, maybe these top promotions will come to their senses down the road…

Here's Ivelisse taking on Mia Yim, for the WAR Ecuador promotion.

Wrestler of the Day - 9/16: reDRagon (Bobby Fish & Kyle O'Reilly)

As I said, I will be posting not only about singles wrestlers, but tag teams as well. I'll deliver a short synopsis of the team, and a match that greatly depicts their awesomeness.

Today's "Wrestlers of the Day".... Bobby Fish & Kyle O'Reilly of reDRagon!

This team was originally formed by Kyle O'Reilly as a way to get under his former Team Ambition partner, Davey Richard's skin. Who would have ever thought that they would go on to become one of the best tag teams on the planet today? Every since they won the ROH World Tag Team Championship for the first time back at ROH's 11th Anniversary, they have gone on to win the titles twice more, and was at one point global double champions, as they held the former and IWGP Jr. Heavyweight Tag Team Championships simultaneously. 

Here's a match from their time in New Japan Pro Wrestling against another great tag team, The Time Splitters (Alex Shelley & KUSHIDA)! This match took place at Power Struggle on November 8, 2014.
