Submitted by Scott Mcewan

ROH’s Honor Re-United tour began in Edinburgh, Scotland on Thursday. The tour features an eight-man United States vs. United Kingdom International Cup tournament, with the winner of it challenging for Jay Lethal’s ROH World Championship in London on Sunday.

– Mark Haskins defeated Jonathan Gresham in a first round International Cup tournament match

Haskins won by submission in a match where they did a lot of mat work.

– Flip Gordon defeated Kip Sabian in a first round International Cup tournament match

Gordon was very over.

– Viper defeated Kay Lee Ray

Both are from Scotland and played up being friends, hugging before the match and getting a chant for Scotland’s ICW promotion from the crowd. Ray played heel by trying to pin Viper when she was helping her up, but they ended up still being friendly after.

– Jimmy Havoc defeated Christopher Daniels in a first round International Cup tournament match

Havoc won with the Acid Rainmaker. The story of the match was Havoc trying to make it a hardcore match and Daniels refusing. They used a staple gun near the end.

– Hangman Page defeated Joe Hendry in a first round International Cup tournament match

The crowd was very into this, with Page winning with the Rite of Passage.

– ROH World Champion Jay Lethal defeated Adam Brooks in a non-title proving ground match

Lethal was very over and got “Black Machismo” chants, referring to his old character in TNA. Brooks would have gotten a future World title shot if he won.

– The Young Bucks & Marty Scurll defeated The Briscoes & Punishment Martinez

This started out with a lot of comedy and turned into a very fun match with a lot of action. Scurll got “heavyweight” chants when doing spots with Martinez, and The Briscoes had a lot of heat.
