5 ROH Callbacks You Missed On AEW Dynamite Last Night

Explaining how this was a rematch from ROH's first ever event - The Era of Honor Begins from 23 February 2002 - Tony detailed:

"The man he [Daniels] wrestled, neither one of them won that night in the main event and it's been eating both of them up for 20 years."

For those not well-versed in the history of Ring of Honor, both Danielson and Daniels were indeed in the main event of that inaugural Ring of Honor show. But for those same people, you might presume that the American Dragon vs. the Fallen Angel ended in some sort of no finish or a double countout.

In reality, there was a third man in that main event contest, as the bout was Bryan Danielson vs. Christopher Daniels vs. Low Ki. The reason that neither Danielson or Daniels were victorious at The Era of Honor Begins, was for the simple fact that Low Ki was the winner of the match - Low Ki pinning Daniels after hitting his patented Key Crusher.

An absolutely phenomenal match, complete with a brilliant end sequence featuring the Cattle Mutilation and a twisting Phoenix Splash, that triple threat can be watched in full below:
