Lee Moriarty, holder of the Ring of Honor Pure Championship for over 755 days, steps into the ring against Katsuyori Shibata — the one man who has twice shown him the limits of his own versatility. What unfolds at Death Before Dishonor is not merely a title match, but a reckoning between a record built on adaptation and a rival who has already written the manual on how to dismantle it.
