One of Ring of Honor’s (not to mention those other guys’) biggest weekends of the year is upon us, and PW Chronicle is on the case. John Philapavage and Bob Dolezil are in Orlando and will be sending in live results throughout both shows. While you’re furiously refreshing in between updates, check out [...]
The venue is a WWII-era facility that looks like a military hospital from a movie on the outside and a high school gym on the inside. It looks nice and there are fixed bleachers on one side of the ring. It’s smaller than the Philadelphia and NY venues and only looks like it [...]
Brian attended Ring of Honor’s latest pay-per-view taping, and since they were taking no prisoners, he’s here to tell the tale in audio form. From D-I-N-G-O to a surprise M-O-T-Y-C, we’ve got all the details. We also run down the results from the Dover “Double Feature” and the rest of the latest ROH [...]
Match #17: Buddy Landell/Butch Reed vs Rock N Roll Express 3/28/84
Now it gets difficult. We’re getting to the glory period of Mid South. It signals the arrival of the Midnight Express, as well as their foils, The Rock N Roll Express. The RNR just happen to be in this match. Ever heard of “playing [...]
Match #16: Magnum TA/Wrestling II vs Midnight Express 2/10/84
Here we go! The original heel Midnights. Well, Karl Stern would disagree, but we’re splitting hairs. I grew up on the Stan Lane version in the late 80s. I’ve seen a little of the original via World Class and NWA tapes, but this is my first [...]
Match # 15: Mr. Wrestling II/Magnum T.A. vs Butch Reed/Jim Niedhart 12/25/83
A few notes that will affect my viewing and analysis of this match. For the first time in viewing the set I’m watching a house show match without commentary. It has audio, so I’ll be able to hear the participants and crowd reactions. [...]
Match # 14: Ted Dibiase vs Hacksaw Jim Duggan 7/29/83
I tried to watch this through without writing in real time. I hadn’t done that since we’ve started the process, so I figured it was a perspective worth trying. I got about six minutes in and had to start writing.
This is a [...]
Brian is in the building and we have contact. The next Philadelphia show will be on June 7th. John says that it’s a pretty full crowd as the show is starting and estimates an attendance of 1100-1300.
1) Davey Richards defeats Dingo Non-PPV match to open the show. Richards wins with a tombstone [...]

The hidden gem of the set so far. Sick of watching Chavo Guerrero wrestle CM Punk? How about Eddies older Brother, “Chavo Classic” in a hot match with a heel Mr. Olympia? This match is so much fun Paul Boesch and Bill Watts held hands. That last part is a lie. It’s Chavo Guerrero (Sr.) [...]
It’s guest appearance time in Houston. Two non-Mid South regulars wrestle for a non-Mid South belt in a building/territory which Mid South only shared. What? A rip off?! No, it’s Dusty Rhodes and Nick Bockwinkle showing you their traveling performance art from Houston.
As Ring of Honor celebrates their sixth anniversary, BS With Honor celebrates its momentous fifth anniversary! In Part 1, we re-cap last weekend’s shows in Long Island and Manhattan, including Mother Nature wreaking havoc on the Friday show, and Larry Sweeney’s poor taste wreaking havoc on the company on general. We also run [...]
The Iron Sheik is used to put Mid South over WWF and America over Communism. That’s before we even see a real finish to the match! Plus, we begin to look at whether Butch Reed was forgotten talent or Internet oldtimer hype.
