RING OF HONOR TELEVISION REPORT: HANSON VERSUS STYLES IN A CAREER MAKING MATCH; ELGIN'S QUESTIONABLE BEHAVIOR CONTINUES; THE HAPPY COUPLE; AND MORE

By Richard Trionfo on 2014-11-23 09:23:29
We are in Lakeland, Florida and your announcers are Kevin Kelly and Steve Corino.

Michael Bennett and Maria Kanellis-Bennett make their way to the ring and they have ‘Mr.’ and ‘Mrs.’ Shirts.

Michael takes the mic and before he says anything, he kisses his wife and she reciprocates. Michael wants everyone to rise. He says that if you didn’t realize, you are looking at the new Mr. and Mrs. Bennett. He says that in case you were wondering what is going on, this is what it is like to be in love. He says that you are probably wondering what love is.

He says that when you are playing Call of Duty and you celebrate getting a 17 point kill, that isn’t love. That is pathetic. When you say this hot dog tastes so good, that is not love. That is being a moron. Love is what him and his beautiful wife have. It is solidified by the ‘Title of Love’. Bennett says that Nigel is making all of these title matches, but he hasn’t made matches for the ‘Title of Love’. It is because Nigel does not believe in love.

Tonight, in Florida, on the last leg of their honeymoon, he is going to make a challenge to anyone in the back who wants to face him for the ‘Title of Love’. If anyone feels that they are in love . . . c’mon down.

Romantic Touch makes his way to the ring.

He says that if there is a challenger who should be fighting for the title of love, it should be The Romantic Touch. The honeymoon is over.

Bennett asks Touch if he wants to challenge him.
