I'm making the same face as David in that pic for him in an ROH ring. Bring those underutilized young talents over, lads.

Juice Robinson introduces LIFEBLOOD! Here to bring Honor back to ROH!

[Chrisvegas27]

Sounds good to me

[christopherclinton55]

I hope this doesn't turn into some new blood vs millionaires club type storyline.

[monster mafia]

Jay Lethal out here putting #Lifeblood over huge, believes they are all about putting honor back into ROH. Juice tells him to find 4 like-minded guys in the back and let’s put honor back tonight!

[Big Red Machine]

So are Lifeblood heels? Because I'm really not sure what Lethal, Gresham, and Cobb have done that isn't honorable (Dalton's Boys have interfered on his behalf at times, and I'm Flip has done something wrong due to goofy Young Bucks/Cody/Delirious booking).

[monster mafia]

Jay lethal put them over after the match so i believe they all are faces.

They are all faces.

[Chrisvegas27]

So far every show since the elite has left has focus and direction

[Wilson]

I'll give it a shot, but man does it sound like an incredibly lukewarm recooking of the Generation Next template. Maybe Lifeblood challenging the ROH faces comes across less confusing on the show than on paper.

Though they're definitely pushing new guys, which is refreshing as hell.

[famicommander]

Sabin hurt again. Man, the guy just can't catch a break.

That one show?

[dhads7161]

What I got from a Twitter post is they wanted to face opponents who held honor in as high regard as they do.

[BurningHammer]

They are all faces with a comon goal to make a success of themselves in ROH, they share a similar goal that have bonded them together that's all. They may do the occasional save but just think of it as when New Japan has the faces that aren't in a group working together.

[Zhuge1]

Nice to see Garrison and Kross land in two matches on the card (as well as a dark match the following night at Honor Reigns Supreme).

PJ Black was just signed for the weekend, right? Not an actual roster addition going forward?

Apparently Titus has a new gimmick -- at Honor Reigns Supreme he came out to music that was quite similar to his days as Romantic Touch and seemingly has dropped the whole "Big Dawg" thing.
