Cary Silkin talks Ring Of Honor.
The state of Ring Of Honor has been a hot topic of debate online. Some fans believe that the show is operating at a top level while others believe that the product could use some more focus and direction.
As it turns out, former ROH owner Cary Silkin is seemingly not too hot on the new product. While speaking to WrestleMobs for a new interview, Silkin noted that the Supercard Of Honor pay-per-view in 2022 was the last great event from Ring Of Honor.
“When Tony [Khan] bought it, I was there at that transition show [Supercard of Honor 2022]. I got to go in the ring, present the belts with FTR, good guys. That was the last great Ring of Honor show."
Silkin went on to tell a story about how Dax Harwood wanted him to raise FTR's hands after they defeated The Briscoes for the ROH World Tag Team Championships at the event.
"I’ve got a little story from that show. Remember the unreal match between The Briscoes and FTR? I was told, remember the Bucks came in at the end? I was told, ‘Hey Cary, if you give these guys the belts, do it quick and get out of the ring.’ Because I could barely get in it. I’m like, ‘Alright, no sweat.’ So one, two, three. Briscoes are down, FTR is down. I drag my ass into the ring. Bobby Cruise gives me the belts, I go over to FTR, and they’re selling. I knew [to] give them the belts, up or down, and get the hell out of there. So that’s what I do. I give the belt to Cash, and I give the belt to Dax. As I start to make a step, Dax, still on the ground, he grabs my arm. He goes, ‘I want you to raise our hands.’ I’m like, ‘Alright.’ So they came up, and he was very respectful, and he wanted that moment. I guess for him, it was, ‘Oh, Cary Silkin is raising our hands.’ So that was a really special thing. They’re good guys."
