The Code of Honor - Ring of Honor Wrestling recap for March 12, 2016
Roppongi Vice (Trent Barretta and Rocky Romero) beats the team of Caprice Coleman and Will Ferrara (by submission via ReDRagon), The House of Truth (Joey "Daddy" Daddiego and Chris LeRusso) (by submission via ReDRagon), ReDRagon (Bobby Fish and Kyle O'Reilly) (by pinfall via The Young Bucks), Tough Guy Inc. (Tim Hughes and "Brutal" Bob Evans) (by pinfall via The Young Bucks), The Addiction ("Almighty" Christopher Daniels and "The Heavy Metal Rebel" Frankie Kazarian) (by pinfall via The Young Bucks) and The Young Bucks (Matt and Nick Jackson) (via pinfall) to become #1 contenders for the ROH World Tag Team Championships. Before the second match, Truth Martini introduces Chris La Russo, who just so happens to be also be a lawyer, much to Martini's delight. Unfortunately for him, he gets the thumbs down from Truth Martini as Martini and Daddiego leave him high and dry. Before the fifth match, The Addiction attack The Young Bucks from behind, and after the match, they attack The Young Bucks again in revenge of being beaten fairly quickly, and land Celebrity Rehab on one of the Bucks. When Roppongi Vice show up for the next match, they fight with The Addiction first and toss them out of the ring. Officials keep The Addiction from re-entering the ring.

The Code of Honor - Ring of Honor Wrestling recap for October 17, 2015
The All Night Xpress (Kenny King & Rhett Titus) beats The Addiction (Christopher Daniels & Frankie Kazarian) following the distraction by a man with the orange mask (presumably Chris Sabin, who was barred from ringside for the match).
The Kingdom (Maria Kanellis, Michael Bennett, Matt Taven, Adam Cole) show up. Michael Bennett compares the snake's revenge to Adam Cole's recent betrayal of O'Reilly. Maria grabs the mic and says that she manages the best faction in professional wrestling history. And she says that even if she works in a male-dominated industry, she doesn't have to follow a man's rules. Matt Taven says that the group is something special, and that the success in wrestling is depicted by the gold on their shoulders. Taven says that the group will not stop until Adam Cole is once again the ROH World Champion, and that they will hold all the gold. Cole grabs the mic, and says that he turned his back on Kyle O'Reilly, because he feels that O'Reilly doesn't deserve to be the ROH World Champion, and that he was the better member of Future Shock. He's offended that the likes of O'Reilly, Styles and Elgin were chosen for title matches, but he wasn't chosen. Cole says that he is the only legitimate contender for the ROH World Championship, and vows that the World and TV Championship are coming to The Kingdom. Suddenly, reDRagon (Kyle O'Reilly & Bobby Fish) are held back by security up the ramp. Bobby Fish says that he and Kyle are taking them out, but Cole says that he can't see them two taking on the three of them. Michael Elgin shows up to even the odds and goes on a war path. Elgin grabs the mic and says that "Big Mike" is giving reDRagon back up.
"The Exotic Goddess" Mandy Leon breaks down the rivalry between Dalton Castle and Silas Young on this week's "Inside ROH."
Adam Cole goes one-on-one next week with A.J. Styles... and he says that the third match's a charm, with the most phenomenal part of the match is Cole dropping him on his head.
B.J. Whitmer guests on commentary for the next match.
Jay Briscoe beats Adam Page in an No Holds Barred Match.

The Code of Honor - Ring of Honor Wrestling recap for June 6, 2015
This episode features match from the two ROH/NJPW Global Wars shows in Toronto!
The Addiction (Frankie Kazarian & Christopher Daniels) are tired of reDRagon (Bobby Fish & Kyle O'Reilly)'s constant bickering and complaining about their rematch... and tonight, they've got their rematch.
The Addiction (Christopher Daniels & Frankie Kazarian) come to the ring. Daniels says that Bobby Fish is medically unable to compete (which implies that they attacked him before the show), and that they are contractually obligated to defend their tag straps against the challengers, and not Kyle O'Reilly and a suitable replacement for Bobby Fish. With this, Kyle O'Reilly comes out, and says that he can take them on on his own, thus setting up a Handicap Match for the ROH World Tag Team Championship.
Kyle O'Reilly beats The Addiction by DQ, but the latter retains the titles.
Jushin "Thunder" Liger beats Dalton Castle.
"Brutal" Bob Evans vs. Cheeseburger ends when Evans side slams the latter into a table from the ring apron.
Jay Lethal and Truth Martini talk about the Champion vs. Champion contract signing for Best in the World next week, and Lethal reminds Jay Briscoe to bring a pen, as Truth Martini says that he will sign "his own death warrant".
We look at another "Inside ROH" with Mandy Leon as she discusses the ongoing rivalry between ROH Television Champion Jay Lethal and ROH World Champion Jay Briscoe.
Jay Briscoe says that he's ready to make things official... but he dares Jay Lethal to pull any kind of stunt during the signing, and the fans will get Best in the World for free next week.
The Kingdom (Matt Taven & Michael Bennett) vs. The Bullet Club (Doc Gallows & Karl Anderson) ends when the match gets out of hand and the referee calls for the bell. As Gallows and Anderson are setting up two steel chairs in the ring to decimate Bennett with, Maria steps up on the apron, only to be snatched up by Gallows. Before the duo can hit their signature Magic Killer on Maria, her husband makes the save, before he eats a Gun Stun from Anderson. Taven dives in with the crossbody, but he would ultimately be hit with the Magic Killer maneuver. The duo stands tall to end the show.

The Code of Honor - Ring of Honor Wrestling recap for April 25, 2015
The Addiction (Frankie Kazarian & Christopher Daniels) says that they've had many chances against reDRagon (Bobby Fish & Kyle O'Reilly) for the tag titles, but they've fallen short every time. This time, they plan to put on their knight's armor and slay the dragon in order to win the Tag Team Titles tonight.
In a Four Corner Survival Match, B.J. Whitmer beats Moose, Will Ferrera and Caprice Coleman when he momentarily tags himself in after Moose spears Caprice Coleman. After the match, B.J. grabs the mic and taunts Moose, and challenges him to a fight, only to turn him down and call him a "big goofy bastard.
The Decade (B.J. Whitmer & Adam Page) are still in the ring. Adam Page continues to taunt A.C.H. (which stands for "Attitude. Charisma. Heart), saying that every opportunity the latter has received, he's failed to capitalize the likes of Samoa Joe, A.J. Styles and Alberto El Patron. Page says that he wants nothing more than to erase A.C.H. from Ring of Honor. As he proceeds to burn A.C.H.'s t-shirt, A.C.H. comes out the ring, but B.J. and Adam flees the ring. A.C.H. says no matter how much they talk about him, A.C.H. is a brand that defines him, defines wrestling, and gains the support of the fans. B.J. Whitmer sends Adam Page to the ring, and referee Gino Colucci calls for the bell in an impromptu match.
Adam Page beats A.C.H. thanks to an interference by B.J. Whitmer. The two attack A.C.H. after the match until Matt Sydal runs in for the save!
Michael Elgin says that having a tag team partner doesn't help him become the ROH World Champion. He does not trust many people, but he has friends in high, such as the Killer Elite Squad, and says that War Machine (Raymond Rowe & Hanson) doesn't know anything about war.
The Addiction (Christopher Daniels & Frankie Kazarian) beats reDRagon (Bobby Fish & Kyle O'Reilly) to become the new ROH World Tag Team Champions. Meanwhile, a KYRD member is thrown into the ring by Bobby Fish, who is revealed to be Chris Sabin! Suddenly, The Addiction hits reDRagon with the title belts, then hold up the orange masks, revealing to be the other members of the Knights of the Rising Dawn. Bobby Fish is pissed, and says that screwing them over was the only way they [Addiction] could have took the titles off of them, and they want their rematch sooner than later.

The Code of Honor - Ring of Honor Wrestling Recap for March 14, 2015
**NO REVIEW FOR THIS WEEK!!!"
The Addiction (Christopher Daniels & Frankie Kazarian) beats A.C.H. & Matt Sydal, thanks to the interference by a member of the KRD.
We recap the happenings of the Fatal Four Way match for the ROH World title at ROH's 13th Anniversary, which includes the return of Samoa Joe, who has his sights set on regaining the ROH World Championship.
Jay Briscoe shows up. He gives a shout out to ODB for returning his custom title belt. He confronts the judgements about the endings about the World Title, but dismisses the fact that he was lucky and reminds the fans that he is the champ. Jay fels that he is the baddest man in pro wrestling/ Suddenly, Samoa Joe shows up to a thunderous ovation. Samoa Joe agrees with Jay - that Jay did not get lucky. He commends Jay for getting the job done at the 13th Anniversary, and compares him to himself... but Joe says that Jay is not as bad as he is and simply challenges him for the ROH World Title at Supercard of Honor IX.
Jimmy Jacobs is in the ring, who is not impressed with the fact that Samoa Joe threw out a challenge to Jay Briscoe for the World Title. He doesn't deny Joe's abilities, but Joe hasn't been in ROH since the days of Tyler Black (Seth Rollins, anybody?). Despite all of Joe's successes outside of ROH, Jacobs points out that ROH "gives" Joe a place to return to. He also wants a shot at the ROH World Title, and warns Nigel McGuiness that before he "gives away" a title match to Samoa Joe, he wants to take a title match.
We recap the final chapter of the rivalry between The Briscoes (Jay & Mark) and The Kingdom (Michael Bennett & Matt Taven), which culminated in a 2/3 Falls Match, with The Kingdom winning the war.
The Kingdom (Matt Taven & Michael Bennett) beats The Young Bucks (Matt & Nick Jackson), thank to the interference from another (or maybe the same) KRD member to earn the right to face reDRagon (Bobby Fish & Kyle O'Reilly) for the ROH World Tag Team titles at Supercard of Honor IX.
It is announced that Jay Briscoe will defend the ROH World Championship against Jimmy Jacobs next week!
