Scurll was able to show the ROH faithful why his moniker is the \u201cVillain\u201d, as he was able to misdirect the referee\u2019s gaze just long enough to use his signature umbrella to his advantage, striking Castle across the shoulder before driving the Party Peacock\u2019s shoulder into the ring post. With Castle incapacitated, Scurll was easily able to ensnare him in a Chickenwing submission for the victory.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Not be outdone in front of his home crowd as well, Ospreay made quite a mark on his first official night as a Ring of Honor competitor. Originally schedule for a proving ground match against Bobby Fish, <\/span><b>Nigel McGuinness<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> revealed before the match that both Ospreay and Fish had agreed that they were up to the task of wrestling for the title. Ospreay had actual already had a shot of ROH this year, as he challenged <\/span><b>Adam Cole<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> for the title at <\/span><b>NJPW\u2019<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">s<\/span><b> Destruction<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> event. Just as it seemed that Fish would retain by making Ospreay submit to a kneebar, the Aerial Assassin used his mat skills to bridge over Fish and trap him in a pin, winning the match. The live crowd absolutely erupted for the Ospreay victory.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The very next night, the British compatriots Ospreay and Scurll did something that they had rarely done in England, team together. The unlikely duo squared off against the <\/span><b>ROH World Tag Team<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> champions in the form of the <\/span><b>Young Bucks<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and despite a gallant effort, suffered a victory, exposing their distaste for each other in the process as well as setting the stage for the third and final night of the tour. Originally scheduled to be a normal singles match, the match between Ospreay and Scurll then became a ROH World TV title match, with Ospreay defending the very title that he had only capture 48 hours earlier. As if the Ospreay victory had not garnered enough attention by it\u2019s own merit, Scurll assured that all the eyes of the wrestling world would once again be across the pond, wresting the title away from the newly minted champion.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Scurll\u2019s victory speaks to the changes with the Ring of Honor roster as well as the company making a very grandiose gesturing in announcing that the newly signed talent would not merely be appearing for ROH, but in fact would be prominently enmeshed in the future of the company. In Ospreay,age 23, and Scurll, age 28, Ring of Honor now has talent that can be major players for years to come. Signing the two was news enough, but having the two claim a ROH World Television title reign to their resumes this early in their run portends major roles within the company. Scurll, ever the irritant, has already began to publicly prod Ospreay\u2019s short reign and certainly indicates that the two are far from ending the rivalry that has developed between the two.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>https:\/\/twitter.com\/MartyScurll\/status\/801728469021454336<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bobby Fish was originally scheduled to defend TV title against <\/span><b>CMLL<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> star <\/span><b>Dragon Lee<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, who had earned the right to the title shot by recently defeating Fish during a proving ground match. Ospreay\u2019s win and subsequent loss to Scurll has created a scenario in which Lee, Fish and Ospreay are all deserving to a title shot. Thusly, the three will get just that at Final Battle as ROH has officially announced that Scurll\u2019s first defense with be a four corner survival match on December 2nd. No matter the result, ROH has made it abundantly clear that both Ospreay and Scurll are part of ROHs plans for 2017.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">On Dec. 2nd at FINAL BATTLE it&#39;s a 4 Corner Survival for the TV Title w\/ <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/MartyScurll?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">@MartyScurll<\/a> vs <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/WillOspreay?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">@WillOspreay<\/a> vs @theBobbyF\u2026 <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/KcQ8XEb01n\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">https:\/\/t.co\/KcQ8XEb01n<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/Zy48ZicQJ8\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">pic.twitter.com\/Zy48ZicQJ8<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; ROH &#8211; Ring of Honor Wrestling (@ringofhonor) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ringofhonor\/status\/802497406793224194?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">November 26, 2016<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>ROH Honorable Mention: Ospreay and Scurll Trade ROH TV Title Ring of Honor\u2019s Reach For the Sky tour in England saw the ROH Television title trade possession between two of England\u2019s native sons, Will Ospreay and Marty Scurll during a wild three show tour.
