Episode 66: World Title Classic

Spreaker: https://www.spreaker.com/show/an-honorable-mention-with-shane-hagadorn June of 2004 was just short 3 months removed from the most difficult time in Ring of Honor's history. The week of 'World Title Classic,' there was even more trouble that all led to a new beginning for Ring of Honor Wrestling. On a night where Ultimate Endurance was the initial show name, it was two men instead of eight, who had that ultimate endurance, going broadway for the Ring of Honor World Title, Samoa Joe & CM Punk. We'd see the return of the blue room and the dark hole on this show as production was suspect at best, and wrestlers being confused between Wilmington & Dayton, Ohio. On World Title Classic we'd also see the birth of the mid-evil title belt and the birth of a true villainous thug, the violent Notorious 187 Homicide. This show was the beginning of Ring of Honor's greatest in ring rivalry in company history and the start of the end for Samoa Joe's run as Ring of Honor World Champion. Join Jeff & Shane on this week's AHM for a deep dive into the inner workings of 2004 Ring of Honor and the birth of Ring of Honor Wrestling. -=-=-=-= An Honorable Mention Podcast is hosted by Jeff Schwartz & Shane Hagadorn every Tuesday on the Creative Control Network.
