Episode 174: Race to the Top Tournament ...

The Creative Control Network
About this episode
Let’s journey back to 2007 and ROH’s debut in a new Long Island area venue! Sports Plus has closed, off to Deer Park and a small Community Center too small for ROH’s usual set-up, and a tournament for…...a trophy!

16 wrestlers are competing for some nebulous idea of being THE TOP, two of the guys in the tournament already have title matches on the books for future shows, and some are clearly no chance in hell entrants. Still, wrestling fans love a tournament so here...we...go!

It’s RACE TO THE TOP TOURNAMENT NIGHT 1 on this week’s AHM, brought to you by PATREON.COM/ANHONORABLEPOD, and presented on the CREATIVE CONTROL NETWORK family of podcasts!
