ROH WJCT Colony No.1 - Part 3: Detour to Arizona
Well folks, it's about that time. It's time to talk about ROH WJCT Colony No.1 - Part 3: Detour to Arizona. Let's roll with it.
March 13, 2026:
Shane Taylor Promotions (Shane Taylor, Shawn Dean & Carlie Bravo) (c) vs TMDK (Robbie Eagles, Mikey Nicholls & Shane Haste) (8:38) → ROH World Six-Man Tag Team Championship Match - ★★★1/2
The match itself was good which is fine. However, I am interested in the new style of these YouTube Special episodes. So basically, the TV episodes on HonorClub will be taped shows from WJCT Studios while the YouTube episodes will be fights that were taped from the arenas of which either AEW Dynamite or AEW Collision take place in. I don't mind that, well at the same time, I have to ask if it will be consistent? This match was fast paced, had a lot of fun and logical spots in between. STP retain the ROH World Six-Man Tag Team Titles and attack TMDK. TMDK are still gonna have a place in Ring Of Honor after this, so the feud has ended for now... Oh, and Boom & Doom made the save.
CMLL World Women's Champion Persephone vs Gin Sevani (4:34) - N/R (I don't rate bouts under 5 minutes)
This was fine as Persephone faced Gin Sevani. This was filmed before Persephone won the CMLL World Women's Title, so there are no entrances here. I would say that I wouldn't watch these YouTube episodes, but Ring Of Honor established that these specials are Canon to main TV episodes.
RUSH vs BEEF (4:53) - N/R (I don't rate bouts under 5 minutes)
This was RUSH's first match back from an knee injury. This was fun sub 5 minutes as the crowd is behind this and RUSH won with the Bull Horns. Short, sweet and straight to the point.
Serpentico vs Wheeler Yuta (5:43) - N/R (I don't rate bouts under 5 minutes)
Honestly, this was fine to a point. It was also short, sweet and straight to the point with Wheeler Yuta winning. I will say that Wheeler Yuta in tracks looks so cursed. I know he trying to immaculate Bryan Danielson's classic look from Ring Of Honor in the 2000s, but still a cursed image.
Ace Austin vs KM (3:12) - N/R (I don't rate bouts under 5 minutes)
Ace Austin beats KM as this was way to stat pad a win for himself. With the ROH World Title scene being in creative limbo, as well as Bandido not appearing as much on television, it makes for a directionless and strange result.
Danielle Kamela vs Marina Shafir (4:27) - N/R (I don't rate bouts under 5 minutes)
Marina Shafir continues to be a fun TV wrestler throughout this year. This match was somewhat short with it being 4 and half minutes. Kamela continues to be a bit more regular than she has last year. Marina Shafir won this bout with her submission finisher, Mother's Milk.
RPG Vice (Rocky Romero & Trent Beretta) & MxM Collection (Mason Madden & Mansoor) vs Eddie Kingston, Ortiz & Top Flight (Dante Martin & Darius Martin) (11:47) - ★★★3/4
Much like a lot of ROH episodes, it ends in a party fight. That usually means it's an eight man tag team match for just fun. This was a lot of fun, in many ways between both teams. This was honestly the best way to establish this new format for the YouTube Special Episodes going forward.
Post: This was the most forgettable episode of Ring Of Honor in the first phase of the WJCT Colony. Even if it is canon, I wouldn't blame you if you skipped this episode entirely. I didn't because I am a dedicated ROH soldier for this job. Wait a minute, I don't earn anything from this.
Kind Regards,
ZERO (or Archer)
