IMPACT Wrestling Star and Honor No More Member – PCO – Talks ROH World Title, Potential Challenge For It
Chris Jericho became the NEW Ring of Honor World Champion on September 21st at the AEW Dynamite Grand Slam episode defeating former champ, Claudio Castagnoli. Jericho then defended the ROH title against Bandido the following week, marking his first successful defense. After the match was over, Chris went on a tirade about how he’s planning to beat every former ROH World champion in order to tear down the legacy of ROH.
One of those former champions happens to be current IMPACT Wrestling star, and group member of other former ROH talent who call themselves Honor No More – PCO!
PCO seemed pretty excited when he the subject was brought up to him.
Speaking on the Shining Wizards Wrestling Podcast, PCO was asked about potentially challenging Jericho for the ROH World Championship.
“Now we got Frankie Kazarian with us in IMPACT. We had Juice Robinson. We’ve been doing cross promotions with them, so that’d be awesome, PCO versus Chris Jericho. Sometimes, IMPACT [has to] have the last word. It can’t always be AEW having the last word in everything [laughs],” PCO said.
ROH’s legacy lives on in IMPACT through the Honor No More faction, which features PCO, current IMPACT Wrestling Tag Team Champions Matt Taven & Mike Bennett – also known as The Kingdom, Vincent, Maria Kanellis-Bennett, Kenny King, and current IMPACT Wrestling World Title contender, Eddie Edwards. Although the group is full of different characters, PCO remarked that he always knew they would be able to work together because the ROH roster was a tight-knit group.
“I thought that, coming from Ring of Honor, we all had a good solid bond between each other. So I think that’s why I thought it could work because I really get along although everyone at Ring of Honor. It was a very solid, tight group over there. We had fun, we had a good dressing room, we had a good chemistry between the guys, and it was a good atmosphere. It was really cool to be part of Ring of Honor, so I had no doubt that I could get all these people, Maria, Bennett, Taven, Vinny, and Eddie afterwards,” PCO said.
PCO is set to compete in the Call Your Shot Gauntlet Match at IMPACT Wrestling’s Bound For Glory Premium Live Event this weekend – Friday, October 7th.
