An Honorable Mention... with Jeff Schwartz & Shane Hagadorn
https://www.hipcast.com/podcast/H0G8Jb or on your podcast provider! From 2003-2007, Jimmy Rave was a staple of Ring of Honor. Be it in his original (XTC) incarnation, his standing as the first Crown Jewel of Pro Wrestling with Prince Nana's Embassy, or on his own during the "House of the Rising Sun" days, Jimmy was an integral piece of ROH. After that, he drifted back into ROH in 2009 during the Adam Pearce years, but only for a very brief stint. Jimmy popped back up for one night only in 2011, and then again for a cup of coffee as part of the S.C.U.M faction alongside Kevin Steen, Steve Corino, Jimmy Jacobs, Matt Hardy, and a slew of others. This is the story, in two parts, of Jimmy Rave and Ring of Honor. You will hear, in his own words, how it began, about the bumps in the road, and about why it ended each time. Jimmy opens up about the highs and lows, his own culpability in all of it, and also shares some fun stories about men like AJ Styles, CM Punk, Fast Eddie, Sal Rinauro, and more! Join Jeff & Shane as they guide the ship and take a very special tour through "Jimmy Rave in ROH"!

An Honorable Mention... with Jeff Schwartz & Shane Hagadorn
https://www.hipcast.com/podcast/H0G8Jb Who would've known that 15 years ago, in the city of Dayton Ohio, the Montgomery County Fairgrounds would prove to be a life-changing location for our own Shane Hagadorn. See August 9, 2003 was the date of Ring of Honor's "Wrath of the Racket" event, their first venture outside of the Northeast, and Hagadorn's first (and only) event sitting in the crowd as a fan. This episode is the chat about his recollections as a fan, less review and more impact, and comparing those memories to the reality of our hosts watching the event back in 2018. It's AJ Styles and Chris Daniels and Chris Sabin and Jimmy Jacobs and many more in the infancy of their ROH careers (or careers in general in some cases), and it's ROH in it's own infancy as well. Join Jeff & Shane as they explore the past of ROH in the days before either man had their glimpses behind the curtain! -=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Wrath of the Racket August 9, 2003 Dayton, OH Montgomery County Fairgrounds - Scramble Match: Special K (Deranged & Hydro) vs. Don Juan & Fast Eddie vs. The Carnage Crew (Masada & Loc) vs. The SAT (Joel & Jose Maximo) - HWA Heavyweight Title #1 Contendership Match Nigel McGuinness vs. Chet Jablonski (w/Brock Guffman) - Homicide (w/Julies Smokes) vs. Chris Sabin - The Second City Saints (Ace Steel & Colt Cabana) vs. Alex Shelley & Jimmy Jacobs - Matt Stryker vs. Justin Credible - Four Corner Survival: Michael Shane vs. Hotstuff Hernandez vs. Scoot Andrews vs. Slyk Wagner Brown (w/April Hunter) - Invitation To Field Of Honor Match: Jimmy Rave vs. Slim J - ROH World Title Match: Samoa Joe (c) vs. BJ Whitmer - ROH Tag Team Title Match: AJ Styles & Homicide (w/Julius Smokes) (c) vs. The Prophecy (Christopher Daniels & Dan Maff) (w/Allison Danger & Jim Cornette)

So I'm posting this now because it applies to our bonus episode covering Gabe's Secrets of the Ring interview he did 5 weeks after ROH unjustly fired him as booker in 2008. He mentions this angle but fails to mention the one man who pitched it to him.... Me. The Prince Who Scammed Me.docx For the convenience of those, authentically it's a Word Perfect document, I'd assume nobody has that in 2018, so I made it a Microsoft Word Document. The technology on my old college laptop was Word Perfect and I have all my assignments and pitches saved. Found them tonight. Will share more when applicable.

The night was headlined by the collision of ROH's two premier teams, Kings of Wrestling & American Wolves; both whom, just a few months prior, were managed by our own Shane Hagadorn. It was intended to also serve as The Final Hunt for Davey & Eddie but, well, you know.... At the request of the guys from The Super Tuesday Thriller Podcast (https://soundcloud.com/sttc2k18), Shane and Jeff jump feet first into this one to discuss the failures of the Trial Series, sing the praises of several competitors on this card, and...of course...eating dicks. Yeah, you read that right... All Aboard the AHM Express as we travel back to 2010 and head to Plymouth for Tag Title Classic II! -=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Tag Title Classic II December 17, 2010 Plymouth, MA - Adam Cole vs. "The Pretty Boy Pitbull" Kenny King - "The Prodigy" Mike Bennett (w/ Brutal Bob Evans) vs. Colt Cabana - Trial Series Match #5 (Non-Title) World TV Champion Christopher Daniels defeats Andy Ridge - Jay Briscoe & Mark Briscoe vs. Kevin Steen & Steve Corino - Four Corner Survival Match: El Generico vs. Grizzly Redwood vs. Rhett Titus vs. Ricky Reyes - TJ Perkins vs. Kyle O'Reilly - Non-Title Match: ROH World Champion Roderick Strong vs. Sonjay Dutt - World Tag Team Title Match: The Kings Of Wrestling (Chris Hero & Claudio Castagnoli) (w/ Shane Hagadorn & Sara Del Rey) (c) vs. The American Wolves (Davey Richards & Eddie Edwards)

https://www.hipcast.com/podcast/H0G8Jb @anhonorablepod 250 followers = a bonus show with a special guest! 24 hours after "Northern Navigation", Ring of Honor crossed the Ambassador Bridge and headed for the Fairgrounds in Detroit to tape another in a series of Pay Per View events. No pre-game shenanigans ensued this time; rather, all the chaos was reserved for the event itself with plenty of unscheduled activity, an appearance by Lance Storm that would set the table for events an entire year later, and a ring that couldn't withstand the pressure of it all!

https://www.hipcast.com/podcast/H0G8Jb Back on July 25th of 2008, Ring of Honor crossed into the Great White North for the first time and presented "Northern Navigation" at The Ted Reeve Arena. It proved to be an event that showcased the best ROH has to offer with the likes of Bryan Danielson, Chris Hero, Tyler Black, and Nigel McGuinness competing as well as showcasing the ROH debut of a man whose reputation has become legendary: Kenny Omega. It proved to be a top-shelf event that the fans were there for every step of the way, and began a relationship with Ted Reeve that continues to this day. NOW July 24th, on the other hand, is legendary within a much smaller circle for the events that took place when the CRW (consisting of Hagadorn, Rhett Titus, Ernie Osiris, Mitch Franklin, Kyle Durden, and Guiseppe DiLorento) explored Toronto for the very first time. Both stories are told, the latter as much as can be, when Jeff & Shane sit down and chat "Northern Navigation" on this edition of AN HONORABLE MENTION!! -=-=-=-=-=-=- ROH Northern Navigation 07/25/2008 Toronto, Ontario, Canada Ted Reeve Arena 1. Chris Hero (w/ Sweet & Sour Inc) vs. Ruckus 2. Delirious vs. Kenny Omega 3. Sara Del Rey (w/ Sweet & Sour Inc) vs. Jennifer Blake 4.
