ROH on Sinclair - Episode 453 - 22nd May 2020
For the next two weeks of Ring Of Honor television, La Faccion Ingobernable take control. This week the reigning TV Champion Dragon Lee hosts the show with a spotlight on his own ROH career, before his brother, World Champion Rush, takes over the mantle next week.
Dragon Lee appears to have an AMAZING house. He talks about wrestling Hiromu Takahashi all over the world, including in his ROH debut in 2016...

He calls his match with Shane Taylor at Final Battle a handicap match because of how much size he was giving up, but says he left as TV Champion because he is 'relentless' in the ring...

Tape Rating - N/A - English isn't Lee's first language, but I thought he did a competent job providing filler footage to break up the match content. Last week Dalton Castle was incredibly entertaining with his ability to fill lots of the episode with fresh, engaging self-shot skits at home. Dragon wasn't able to do that so, by necessity, this was an episode which lent heavily on in-ring action - and on that front it was great. All three matches shown are fast, frantic and packed full of action
