On both discs you have the option of watching all the "Memories at the Murphy Center" separately. You can also just watch the entire Glory By Honor II show from start to finish. On disc two there are the ShowCase Matches as a bonus.

We start off backstage where Colt Cabana is talking about his upcoming Four Corners Survival match. Colt says he wants to be in the ROH Top 5 Ranking System and has a major surprise in store for tonight.

Cut to Dan Maff, who is home wearing a neck brace. Maff talks about the first Glory By Honor and how he now has “hate in his heart” for Low Ki. Maff said he had a pinched nerve in his neck and was suffering from post concussion syndrome.

Low-Ki says a few words about honor.

We then cut to "Memories at the Murphy Center" and highlights of a Three Way Match between Low-Ki, the Fallen Angel Christopher Daniels and the American Dragon from 2/23/02. At one point, Daniels was on his knees while Dragon and Ki demonstrated how to kick him harder. Great "memory".

In the first match, BJ Whitmer beat Jimmy Rave in a Field of Honor match. Prior to the match they showed a clip of BJ hitting the heavy bag and showed his stats in the Field of Honor. Jimmy Rave’s graphic came up next and it led into A.J. Styles telling Rave to work on Whitmer’s arm and set him up for the crossface. Great match with commentary by CM Punk. Finish saw Whitmer hit a powerbomb off the top rope on Rave for the pinfall.

Postmatch: The camera cuts to a Whitmer backstage who puts over Jimmy Rave while selling his arm being hurt.

A.J. Styles approaches Jimmy Rave in the back and tells him that he had Whitmer, but blew it.

Samoa Joe with a promo talking about how he "made" the first Glory By Honor in his match against Low Ki.

More "Memories at the Murphy Center". This time we saw clips of a match in which Super Crazy beat Eddie Guerrero.

Xavier is working his triceps while his Stat Sheet comes on screen. Lolipop walks in, takes a look, and leaves.

Xavier beat John Walters in a Field of Honor match. Lollipop comes out at the beginning of the match which causes out Xavier’s fellow Prophecy member, Allison Danger to come to ringside as well. Xavier tells Danger to go to the back. Walters hit abeautiful 450 splash from the top rope onto Xavier, who was on the floor. Walters hit a lungblower off the top rope onto Xavier as well. Xavier mule kicked Walter's in the balls and rolled him up to win.

Post match: Walters grabbed the mic and yelled, “This is the Field of Honor! This is about respect!” Next time, he will beat some respect into Xavier.

Christopher Daniels recalls his history with Samoa Joe and says, “All roads lead to this night!” They then call cut and Steve Corino comes in to wish Daniels good luck in his match.

"Memories at the Murphy Center" showed highlights of Low Ki vs the American Dragon with special ref Ken Shamrock. The match ended when Shamrock lifted an unconscious Ki’s arm as Dragon applied the Cattle Mutilation.

Teddy Hart beat TJ Wilson. Hart hit a Shooting Star Press for the win. Not being a huge fan of Teddy, I need not say more.

In the back, Special K invites Teddy to party with them but he blows them off.

Raven cuts a promo where he mentions that he is undefeated against Steve Corino and challenges the him to have their match be under “Raven’s Rules”.

"Memories at the Murphy Center". Clips of the Natural Born Sinners vs the Carnage Crew are shown. Sick chair shots and barbed wire throughout the match until the Sinners win.

Steve Corino (w/Team Corino) beat Raven. Corino’s personal announcer announces says Simply Luscious as the only female graduate of Shawn Michael’s Wrestling School. He then started to read off all the men that Steve Corino has beaten (from Scotty Riggs to Razor Ramon). Raven then hit the ring

Raven hit his step-over-toe hold onto a chair but Luscious broke up the pin. Raven grabbed her but was put into a Cobra Clutch by Corino. Raven escaped and hit Corino with The Raven Effect. Punk (who left the commentary position) pulled the ref out of the ring at two count. Raven chased Punk into the ring, but was hit with a superkick by Corino, and was pinned. Punk then beat down Raven but was pulled off by Corino.

Colt Cabana beat Matt Stryker, Chris Sabin & A.J. Styles in a Four Corners Survival Match. Cabana is gold and it amazes me that he hasn't hit in big or even been signed in the major fed. Great match. To do play by play would be an injustice. Sabin hit a reverse hurricarana on Cabana but Sabin was quickly hit with a Dragon Suplex by Styles. While that was happening Cabana hit Stryker with the Colt 45 for the win.

Dan Maff is talking on the phone. He asks Alison Danger if Xavier is, “with us or against us.” Maff tells Danger to go find RF and let him know that he will be at ROH’s next show, in Baltimore, to compete in the Field of Honor.

Izzy and Dixie set up Acid for the “T Gimmick” but were double speared by Johnny Kashmere. The Backseats hit their own T Gimmick to Dixie and new ROH Tag Champions are crowned.

The crowd chants “Please don’t go!” Capetta puts over Laree who then puts over the ROH fans. As Alexis yelled, “Thank you Ring of Honor!!” the lights went out and Special K’s music began playing. When the lights came back on, Alexis was surrounded by the whole group. Joey Matthews came out and cleared the ring. Alexis kisses Joey but Joey clotheslines her.

Jim Cornette shoots a promo on the Prophecy where he says, “I’ve had more main events than you guys have practiced the time honored tradition of self gratification.”

Terry Funk beat CM Punk by DQ. Punk cuts a promo before the match saying he was 4 years old in when Terry Funk retired for the first time in All Japan. Tons of brawling. Terry Funk went for a moonsault off the top rope while the crowd chanted“Please Don’t Die!” Funk missed and Punk started to work on Funk’s knees. Punk used a chair on Funk’s knee before applying the figure four. Punk would not break the hold at the 5 count so the ref stopped the match, awarding Funk the victory.

Colt Cabana then came to the ring and pulled CM Punk off of Funk. Cabans then puts Funk in a Figure 4. Raven runs in and the Second City Saints leave the ring. Tommy Dreamer cuts Cabana off in the aisle and drags him back into the ring. Cabana then takes a Raven Effect by Raven, followed by a Stunner from Terry Funk.

The moment that Cabana has been promising us all night is finally here. The Colt Cabana Talk Show. Colt says this will be the most entertaining 5 minutes of the entire show. Colt brings out his first guest, “J Train” and out comes Julius Smokes, Benny Blanco and Slugger. Trying to figure out what Smokes is saying is half the fun.
