Report by Colin Tessier for Wrestlezone.com
Quinn McKay welcomes viewers and previews the show. She recaps how Joe Keys earned a shot at the ROH Pure Championship by winning a Gauntlet Match against his fellow ROH Dojo students.
In a video package, Keys recaps his journey to this match. He says that Jonathan Gresham has always come to bat for the ROH Dojo students, and he reveals that Gresham wasn’t his first trainer. Keys says he has learned how to wrestle and how to be a man. He reflects on how his original trainer passed away. Keys states Gresham inspires him, and he has the passion, grit and determination needed to take his title.
Jonathan Gresham says he loves pure wrestling, and he recaps The Foundation’s recent success. The ROH Pure Champion says Flip Gordon is not a pure wrestler because he doesn’t love it. But Gresham says Keys is a pure wrestler because he has business for the style. Gresham tells Keys that he shouldn’t view him as his trainer; he should look at him as “The Foundation.”
