Honor Bound (A Wrestling Podcast)

Tim & Kevin return one last time to discuss the alleged final Final Battle.  Kevin watched live (and re-watched some as a refresher) while Tim watched on demand.  Ring of Honor pulled out all of the stops and gave us two or three must see matches to close the chapter on this part of their history.Intro music "Mountain Stomp" courtesy of Valkyrie (valkyrieband.com)
