Castle says quarantine life has been different, and footage is shown of Dalton annoying his cats, oddly working out in the yard and fondling a plant.<\/p>\n<p>-Castle then reflected on his match against Cody at Final Battle. He suffered a back injury, but was still able to win the world title. Castle then called himself the \u201cCharismatic Milkshake\u201d. Next, about two minutes of highlights from this match were shown, with Castle getting the 1-2-3 via his \u201cBang-A-Rang\u201d. [c]<\/p>\n<p>-Back from break, Castle was shown, in warp-speed, making a delicious-looking homemade pizza.<\/p>\n<p>-An advertisement for Honor Club ran, highlighting their expanded archive from 2002-2010.<\/p>\n<p>-Castle then reflected on his match at Supercard of Honor against Marty Scurll. He said there were people in the audience who did not think he deserved to be champion, and people who did not believe they should main event the show. Castle said anyone who thought they would not put on a dynamite main event was \u201ca silly goose\u201d. Castle said he broke his finger in this match. He is proud of this match with Marty, and proud he was able to leave as champion.<\/p><div id=\"pwtor-3792141643\" class=\"pwtor-content pwtor-entity-placement\"><div align=\"center\" data-freestar-ad=\"__336x280 __336x280\" id=\"pwtorchcom_test_300x250\">\r\n  <script data-cfasync=\"false\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n    freestar.config.enabled_slots.push({ placementName: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x250\", slotId: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x250\" });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p><strong>(1) DALTON CASTLE (c) (w\/ The Boys) vs. MARTY SCURLL \u2013 ROH World Title Match<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This match occurred April 2,2018 in New Orleans at Supercard of Honor. The pace was slow to begin, with Castle doing his \u201cpeacock pose,\u201d and Scurll doing his \u201cbird arms\u201d in attempts to get in the other\u2019s head. A minute later, Scurll and Castle exchange \u201cmiddle fingers\u201d, in the middle of the ring. Castle begins to get the upper hand when mat wrestling, forcing Scurll to the outside. Castle chases Scurll outside the ring, and the momentum turns, as Scurll avoided a charging Castle, allowing Dalton to run head-first into the ring post. [c]<\/p>\n<p>Back live, Scurll delivers a nasty tornado DDT on Castle on the floor. Scurll throws Castle back in the ring, and soon hits his \u201c52 pickup\u201d kick to Castle\u2019s leg. However, Castle soon hits a running knee to Scurll, changing the momentum again. The action against goes to the outside, and the men start fighting up the entrance way. Eventually, Castle charges at Scurll, but Marty gives Castle a back body drop onto the entrance ramp stairs. (This was a nasty looking bump.) Castle sells an injured left arm from this. Scurll drags Castle back to the ring, and begins to work over Castle\u2019s injured arm. Scurll hits a devastating variation of the \u201cGhostbuster\u201d suplex on Castle into commercial. [c]<\/p>\n<p>Back from commercial, Castle is recovering, while Scurll attempts to cut the turnbuckle pad off with scissors. Scurll eventually removes the pad, and tries to throw Castle into the exposed metal, but Dalton blocks the move, and goes on the offensive. Castle delivers a crazy overhead belly-to-belly suplex, over the top rope and into the ring, into a bridge for a two-count. With the referee\u2019s attention diverted, Scurll back-kicks Castle \u201clow\u201d, causing Dalton to keel over in pain. Scurll uses this time to search under the ring for a bag of powder, which he looks for WAY too long. Scurll enters the ring with the powder, but Castle kicks the powder into Scurll\u2019s eyes, temporarily \u201cblinding\u201d him. Unable to see, Scurll inadvertently grabs referee Todd Sinclair, and delivers his \u201cfinger break\u201d move on both of Sinclair\u2019s hands. Sinclair sells the pain like he was hit with a gunshot. Castle uses this distraction to hit a \u201cBang-A-Rang\u201d on Scurll, but as Sinclair tries to count the pin, the pain to his hand is too extreme to overcome, allowing him to only count one. (This was brilliant storytelling.) [c]<\/p>\n<p>Returning live, the referee is outside the ring, and Scurll has retrieved his umbrella. Scurll repeatedly hits Castle with the umbrella, then hits a \u201cBrain buster\u201d suplex and goes for the pin, but there is still no referee. A second referee, Paul Turner, rushes to the ring to count the pin, but only counts to two. Scurll teases his \u201cchicken wing\u201d submission, but Castle counters with a \u201cpeacock pose\u201d and a spinning back elbow. Castle goes for another back elbow, but Scurll reverses into a \u201cchicken wing\u201d. Castle reaches for the ropes to break the submission, but Scurll grabs his finger, and gives Castle a \u201cfinger break\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>The finish happens when Scurll begins stomping repeatedly on Castle\u2019s head, and then hits two standing sidekicks. Scurll asks the referee to check on Castle, but Dalton says to continue. Scurll bounces off the ropes and charges toward Castle, but Dalton reverses into his \u201cBang-A-Rang\u201d, out of nowhere, for the 1-2-3.<\/p>\n<p>WINNER: Dalton Castle at 22:52.<\/p>\n<p><em>(Ryan\u2019s Reaction: This was a great match, and much better than I remember it. The first five minutes could have been trimmed for brevity, but this was one of the best matches from each man in their Ring of Honor careers.)<\/em><\/p><div id=\"pwtor-800841265\" class=\"pwtor-content-1 pwtor-entity-placement\"><!-- Tag ID: pwtorchcom_test_300x600 -->\r\n<div align=\"center\" data-freestar-ad=\"__336x280 __300x600\" id=\"pwtorchcom_test_300x600\">\r\n  <script data-cfasync=\"false\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n    freestar.config.enabled_slots.push({ placementName: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x600\", slotId: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x600\" });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p>-Back at home, Castle reflected on his difficult loss to Jay Lethal and losing his title. Then he mentioned his historic loss to Rush at the G1 Supercard. He said there was not much of a match, but said he had a magnificent entrance at Madison Square Garden. [c]<\/p>\n<p>-Castle pivoted to start talking about his new journey in Ring of Honor, with tag-team partner Joe Hendry. \u201cWe\u2019re good. We\u2019re real good\u201d, Castle said. He said Hendry and himself understand the value of entertainment, seeing as they are both \u201cbig, beefy, muscle hunks.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>(2) DALTON CASTLE &amp; JOE HENDRY vs. P.J. BLACK &amp; BRIAN JOHNSON vs. TRACY WILLIAMS &amp; MARK HASKINS vs. VINCENT &amp; BATEMAN (w\/Chuckles, Vita Von Starr) &#8211; Four-Way Tag-Team Match<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This contest took place in February in Nashville, at the Bound by Honor event. Black and Hendry begin the match with impressive chain wrestling, although neither could gain an advantage. Williams tags in, and more mat wrestling occurs. The combination of Williams and Haskins start working as a cohesive unit to beat on Johnson. Castle tags Haskins, which irked Haskins. Hendry joins Castle in the ring and hits an impressive standing suplex for a two-count. Haskins tags in, as does Vincent, but Haskins does not see the tag and Vincent delivers a cutter on the floor to Haskins, into commercial. [c]<\/p>\n<p>Back from break, Bateman and Vincent are working over Haskins in their corner, function as a solid unit. Vincent goes for a \u201cdouble underhook\u201d suplex, but Haskins counters into a back body drop. Johnson tags Vincent, and starts beating on the weary Haskins. Haskins escapes a suplex from Johnson, and gets the hot tag to Williams. Tracy is a \u201chouse of fire\u201d and clears the ring. The match soon dissolves into chaos, with all eight men attacking each other. In the midst of humanity, Hendry picks up both Williams and Black for an incredible \u201cdouble fall away slam\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>The finish occurs shortly thereafter, when Castle hits a \u201cBang-A-Rang\u201d on Haskins, but Johnson, the legal man, sneaks into the ring and rolls up Castle for a two count. Hendry slides into the ring and hits a \u201ccodebreaker\u201d on Johnson, followed by a modified \u201csling blade\u201d by Castle on Johnson for the win.<\/p>\n<p>WINNERS: Dalton Castle and Joe Hendry at 11:26<\/p>\n<p><em>(Ryan\u2019s Reaction: I understand wanting to show a Hendry and Castle tag-team match, to highlight and foreshadow their future path when Ring of Honor wrestling returns. But this match was rather forgettable, and did not need to be given 12 minutes of television time. Hendry and Castle have had several more impressive matchups, including their bout against Vincent and Bateman at Free Enterprise, that are more deserving of being replayed on television.)<\/em><\/p>\n<p>-Castle was back in his kitchen and asked himself what his future in ROH looks like. He answered \u201cI don\u2019t know, but I\u2019m sure it will be fantastic.\u201d Castle took a bite of pizza, winked at the camera, and the show faded to black.<\/p>\n<p><strong>FINAL THOUGHTS:<\/strong> This episode was primarily geared to show Dalton Castle\u2019s unique, quirky personality. However, I have generally preferred the spotlight episodes like The Briscoes and Marty Scurll, where the talent was more \u201cthemselves\u201d and less \u201cgimmicky\u201d. I understand Dalton staying in character, but I wish we had been given a glimpse of the \u201creal\u201d Dalton Castle. Nonetheless, the Scurll match was terrific, and Castle was entertaining, making this another solid show from Ring of Honor, in spite of the difficult challenges.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong>CATCH UP&#8230;<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/2020\/05\/17\/5-8-roh-tv-report-marty-scurll-welcomes-fans-to-the-show-from-his-couch-to-talk-life-quarantined-plus-introduce-his-matches-against-okada-and-bandido\/\">5\/8 ROH TV REPORT: Marty Scurll welcomes fans to the show from his couch to talk life quarantined plus introduce his matches against Okada and Bandido<\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"pwtor-end-article-groups pwtor-entity-placement\" id=\"pwtor-75839907\"><div id=\"pwtor-2162624799\"><div align=\"center\" data-freestar-ad=\"__336x280\" id=\"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\">\r\n  <script data-cfasync=\"false\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n    freestar.config.enabled_slots.push({ placementName: \"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\", slotId: \"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\" });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\nTHANK YOU FOR VISITING<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>ROH TV REPORT (ep.452) MAY 15, 2020 AIRED ON SINCLAIR SYNDICATED TV &amp; ROHWRESTLING.COM REPORT BY RYAN SULLIVAN, PWTORCH CONTRIBUTOR Host: No Host This Week -The opening theme aired. -The show begins with a highlight <a class=\"mh-excerpt-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/2020\/05\/24\/5-15-roh-tv-report-dalton-castle-themed-show-including-match-vs-marty-scurll-and-a-four-way-tag-match\/\" title=\"5\/15 ROH TV REPORT: Dalton Castle themed show including match vs. Marty Scurll and a Four-Way Tag match\">[&#8230;]<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":41819,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"episode_type":"","audio_file":"","podmotor_file_id":"","podmotor_episode_id":"","cover_image":"","cover_image_id":"","duration":"","filesize":"","filesize_raw":"","date_recorded":"","explicit":"","block":"","itunes_episode_number":"","itunes_title":"","itunes_season_number":"","itunes_episode_type":"","_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[18,22],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-97938","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-tvshowsandevents","category-tv_rohreports"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/post\/2017\/04\/CastleDaltonWK3x2_600.png","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/97938","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=97938"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/97938\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":97939,"href":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/97938\/revisions\/97939"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/41819"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=97938"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=97938"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=97938"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
