Yes, Death Before Dishonor 2022 was a fantastic wrestling pay-per-view (the 'Ups' count makes that clear) and the brand has been brought back to life with a bang. However, it remains to be seen whether or not ROH can survive on scraps fed via segments on regular AEW programming like Dynamite and Rampage.
The promotion may need its own TV show sooner rather than later, especially if Khan wants to make this an ongoing concern. For now though, Tony can pour himself a nice cold drink, sit back in his chair and declare Dishonor a rip-roaring success that was stuffed full of excellent matches.
New champions were crowned, everybody worked incredibly hard and fans inside the Tsongas Center were definitely thrilled to see Honor alive and kicking again. A few tweaks here or there, including dropping at least one bout from the card, would've made it a near-perfect show.
Of course, few wrestling events are completely flawless, and Death Before Dishonor was no different. Some key moments fell a little flat, but there was enough elsewhere to ensure that everybody went home happy.
Here's all the good and bad from a memorable night.
