Whatever Happened to the Code of Honor?

Things have changed since the beginning of the company. The Code of Honor is rarely if ever followed anymore. If the match is being contested between a babyface and a heel, the bad guy often times refuses to shake the good guy’s hand. At the most recent ROH show in Philadelphia, the Code was offered in every match. The only time it was followed was in the main event between Davey Richards and Jay Lethal, both good guys. In essence, the Code has become a vestige of a time long past and a casualty of ROH trying to get more mainstream approval, and thus painting their alignments in a less vague manner. How else can the fans know someone’s bad if they don’t shake hands before the match?

FINALLY! Ring of Honor is releasing “The Summer of Punk” on DVD!

ROH would be smart to find a way to get this in Best Buys and on Netflix Instant.

So from what I understand, under the guise of Ultra Mantis Black, Hallowicked has entered the mind of Delirious where he had to fight off his old friend’s demons. It was there he found Frightmare?

Frightmare is a creature from the dark recesses of the mind of Delirious?

I’ll buy it.

Promo of the Day:

Lex Luger Plans For Superbrawl Saturday
CSWF Shockwave TV
October 30th, 2004

After Ron “The R-Truth” Killings beat Matt Striker, he and Lex Luger went at it leading to this now infamous promo where Luger shows his t-shirt what he’s going to do to the Sun-Tanned Superman.

John Morrison won the WWFX Championship last weekend at a show that included Carlito, MVP, Shelton Benjamin, Chris Masters, The Hurricane, Rhino, Melina, a bunch of other WWE castoffs, and former Drop Toehold blogger Mikey Llorin. He even has a write up about the event here so go check that out.

My question is this. What the hell is WWFX and why have I never heard of it?

What is ONE standout wrestling moment for you? It can be of any era or any organization, I’m just curious as to what people have to say as it’ll be worked into something I’ll post soon.

Personally, my moment is still Rob Van Dam vs John Cena at ECW: One Night Stand (2006). I’ve gone back and visited that PPV so many goddamn times that I could call each and every match without even staring at the screen.

What about you?

We think so too.

I agree with Hoarr.

We want blood.
