PLAY BY PLAY

Lio Rush has had a busy week!

The Man of the Hour took on two former Cruiserweight Champions in Raw’s Akira Tozawa and SmackDown’s Kalisto at Survivor Series. The 205 Live alumni and the Living Piece of Gold were fast and furious, but in the end, the purple title stayed with NXT! And then on NXT this past Wednesday, Lio was willing to take on Tozawa again in singles competition. The Stamina Monster again pushed Lio to his limits, but again the belt stayed where it was. However, there are still new waves of contenders coming. Will Lio be able to survive for much longer?

 

Ariya Daivari VS Raul Mendoza!

The Persian Lion is one of the few 205 Live originals that hasn’t moved on, in more ways than one. He isn’t ready to let the new wave take over, but can he do anything to stop it?

The bell rings and the two tie up. Daivari headlocks, Mendoza tries but can’t get free. Daivari grinds Mendoza down but Mendoza powers him to a corner. The ref calls for the break, and Daivari honors it for only a second before putting another headlock on. Mendoza powers out this time, but Daivari runs him over with a shoulder! Cover, TWO, but Daivari grabs Mendoza to bring him up. Daivari CHOPS Mendoza to a corner, then he tells the booing fans to shut up. Daivari CHOPS Mendoza in the corner, but Mendoza hits back. Daivari clubs Mendoza, whips him, but Mendoza goes up and over on the ropes to get under and shoulder Daivari down! Mendoza mocks Daivari Dinero as fans fire up. Things speed up, Daivari shoves but Mendoza dumps him out.

Daivari is annoyed as fans cheer Mendoza. Daivari gets in, misses, Mendoza huricanranas him down! Mendoza runs at the corner, but is put on the top rope. Mendoza adjusts, springboards and huricanranas again! Daivari bails out, Mendoza builds speed but fakes Daivari out with the handspring. Then he DIVES! Mendoza fires up as he brings Daivari up and into the ring. Cover, TWO, but Mendoza keeps his focus. Mendoza stalks Daivari to a corner to CHOP! Everyone is stinging after that one, even Mendoza’s hand. Mendoza drags Daivari up to wrench and shoulder breaker. Mendoza whips Daivari corner to corner and runs after, but Daivari puts him on the apron. Mendoza springboards but Daivari shoves him down! Mendoza crashes and burns as Daivari glares at him.

Daivari mocks Mendoza now, and fans boo. The ring count climbs up to 5 before Mendoza stirs. Daivari goes out to bump Mendoza off steel steps! Daivari mocks Birmingham before putting Mendoza in. Cover, TWO! Mendoza lives but Daivari goes to drop an elbow, only to get knees! Crucifix, TWO, and Daivari elbows Mendoza down! Cover, TWO! Daivari keeps on Mendoza with a chinlock and wrangles him down. Fans rally up as Mendoza endures. Daivari grins but Mendoza starts fighting his way up. Mendoza throws body shots and rams Daivari into buckles! And again! And a third time, finally freeing himself. Fans rally as Mendoza runs in, but gets hip tossed into those buckles! Daivari hurries up top, LION SPLASH FLOPS! Daivari writhes and Mendoza recovers but both men are down.

Daivari sits up first, and goes over to Mendoza. Mendoza hits with forearms, and counter punches! Mendoza fires off jab after jab, then a back kick. “VAMANOS!” Mendoza rallies up with clotheslines and a springobard enziguri! Daivari is dazed, Mendoza runs in, corner elbow! Mendoza whips, Daivari reverses but Mendoza slips out to let Daivari eat buckles! Mendoza walks the tight rope to springboard dropkick! Cover, TWO!! Daivari is tough but Mendoza is determined. Mendoza goes to a corner, climbs up top, but has to leap over Daivari. Mendoza comes back, Daivari dodges to then catch Mendoza for an URENAGE! Cover, TWO!! Mendoza survives and shocks Daivari!

Birmingham rallies up while Daivari grimaces. Daivari drags Mendoza up, back suplexes, but Mendoza lands on his feet! Mendoza waistlocks but Daivari elbows out. Daivari runs, Mendoza follows, running enziguri! Then he reels Daivari in, CYCLONE URENAGE! Cover, TWO!! Mendoza has Daivari up but Daivari fights out of the fisherman. Daivari blocks a boot to SUPERKICK! Then, hammerlock, but Mendoza ducks the lariat to enziguri again! And BUZZSAW! Fisherman, but Daivari escapes again, LION’S LARIAT!! Cover, Daivari wins!

Winner: Ariya Daivari, by pinfall

The 205 OG is still strong! He denies one newcomer their moment, but will he be undeniable in this third year of purple and orange?

 

Jack Gallagher speaks.

“It’s no secret that Lady Luck hasn’t exactly been on my side as of late in the Cruiserweight Division.” The Gentleman isn’t making excuses. He’s giving everyone a reminder as to why he is the most technically proficient wrestler in the division. And Gallagher needs it, “or else I don’t know what I’m going to do.” What will a desperate gentleman do for the sake of success?

 

Angel Garza also speaks.

“Jack Gallagher says that he needs to win tonight. Who cares what he needs?” This is about what Garza wants, and he wants to win. Garza gets what he wants, and vows to clip Gallagher’s wings. Garza also wants Lio Rush to stop avoiding him and the title rematch he’s owed. El Latino is en la casa, but will he be in the winner’s circle tonight?

 

Cruiserweights share favorite memories from the three years of 205 Live.

Oddly enough, both Daivari and Gallagher still love their Gentlemen’s Duel from December 26th, 2019. The Singh Brothers give thanks to all those involved in making this show possible, both in and out of the ring. They are forever honored to have had a part in the purple ‘n’ orange. Tony Nese takes a lot of credit for “carrying this brand on my shoulders” for these last three years. Three years and it still feels like it’s only getting started. Will 205 Live be able to keep it up as 2019 transitions into 2020?

 

Danny Burch VS Greg Williams!

The Govena makes his return to 205 Live! His first singles match in the Cruiserweight Division is on this historic night, will he start off strong?

The bell rings and Williams circles with Burch. They tie up, Burch powers Williams to a corner but lets up as the ref counts. Williams comes out and shoves Burch, so Burch DECKS Williams! Burch headlocks and throws Williams down to grind him into the mat. Williams endures even as Burch traps an arm and pulls him back. Burch shifts, they both stand, and Williams powers out. Burch runs Williams over with a shoulder and dares the “tough guy” to get up. Things speed up, Williams leaps but Burch catches a leg to YANK him down! Burch throws big European Uppercuts from both sides and floors Williams. Williams flounders in a daze but Burch brings him up for more EuroUppers. Williams wobbles, Burch reels him in, snap suplex!

Fans rally behind Burch as he drops knees on Williams. Burch wants Williams to fight, and Williams slowly sits up. Burch scoops and slams Williams hard! Burch is just a bit disappointed in Williams so he brings him up again. Williams hits a jawbreaker! And a knee! The leaping knee gets Burch in the nose! Williams fires off in the corner! The ref backs Williams off, and Burch grabs Williams for a HEADBUTT! Williams is dazed, Burch runs in for a corner clothesline! Enziguri! GERMAN SUPLEX! Burch LARIATS Williams down and fires up! Burch drags Williams up, puts him o the ropes, HANGMAN’S DDT! Cover, Burch wins!

Winner: Danny Burch, by pinfall

The Govena wins in gritty fashion, and is ready to get going in the Cruiserweight Division! Will Burch fight his way up towards the top?

 

205 Live shares an interview from after NXT.

Lio Rush retained his Cruiserweight Championship again because he is a fighting champion. The Living Piece of Gold was feeling good, and Tozawa came over to shake his hand out of respect. Tozawa and Lio hugged it out, but then Garza came over to stir things up. As Garza said tonight, he feels Lio is avoiding him. Lio wants to go with Garza, but Garza has to prove himself worthy first. Will Garza do that here tonight?

 

Angel Garza VS Jack Gallagher!

We just saw what El Latino wants, and he says he always gets what he wants. But the once Extraordinary Gentleman needs to win in order to feel he still belongs. You can’t always get what you want, but will one of these superstars get what they need?

The bell rings and Garza wants to take off the pants. Gallagher stops him by grabbing that arm! Gallagher wrenches and then reels Garza in for a headlock takeover! Garza flails and kicks and he goes around and around with Gallagher on the mat. Garza reaches with a leg for a ropebreak. Gallagher lets go and Garza gets out to catch his breath. Birmingham trolls Garza but he shouts at them to shut up. Garza gets back in and ties up with Gallagher. Gallagher gets another headlock takeover, and they go around and around again! Garza reaches for another ropebreak, and Gallagher lets go again. Garza gets out again and wants a breather. Garza leaves a fan hanging in that high-five, but Gallagher runs over. Garza puts Gallagher on the apron but Gallagher headlocks him over the ropes. They go to a corner, and Gallagher walks up the corner to get a tornado takeover! And they go around and around again!

Fans rally for Gallagher as he grinds Garza. Garza gets another ropebreak, so Gallagher lets go. Garza stays in this time, but Gallagher sees the sucker punch coming! Garza quickly asks for Gallagher to shake his hand. Fans say “No! No!” but Gallagher’s too much of a gentleman, and falls for the trap! Garza SLAPS Gallagher away! Garza mocks Gallagher and brings him up to whip him corner to corner. Gallagher goes up with a headstand! Fans cheer as Gallagher keeps Garza away with his feet. Garza grabs a foot but gets the other as a boot! Gallagher hops up and over Garza, kneels and back drops Garza! Gallagher runs, tilt-o-whirls to a crucifix, TWO! Garza gets to a corner but Gallagher runs in. Garza blocks the monkey flip, trips Gallagher up and dropkicks the legs out! Off come the pants! Fans fire up while Garza kicks Gallagher down!

Garza tells fans to sit down and shut up, and then he CHOPS Gallagher in a corner. Garza hoists Gallagher up top and tells the ref to shut up. Garza climbs up to club away on Gallagher’s back! Fans boo but Garza soaks up the heat. Garza puts Gallagher in the Tree of Woe, for a corner to corner PENALTY KICK! Cover, TWO! Gallagher toughs it out but Garza keeps his cool. Gallagher hits back with body shots but Garza shoves, to pop-up KICK! Cover, TWO! Garza grins, he knows he’s getting closer. Garza drags Gallagher up by his hair, turns him around for a dragon sleeper, and suplexes. Garza holds Gallagher up for five, rebounds off ropes for the slam! Basement dropkick! Cover, TWO! Garza is upset now but he looms over Gallagher. Garza drags Gallagher into a camel clutch and demands Gallagher give up. Gallagher refuses, and fans rally up. Gallagher fights up, but Garza throws him down by his hair!

Garza puts Gallagher in a low cobra twist, using a chinbar to thrash Gallagher’s head around. Gallagher pries free and fights back! Garza knees low, then again. Garza drags Gallagher up but Gallagher dodges the kick to kick from the mat! Gallagher gets around Garza to ram him in the back! And again! Gallagher whips Garza corner to corner and hip tosses Garza down! Gallagher runs to forearm! Garza wobbles, Gallagher speeds up, big crossbody! Cover, TWO! Gallagher snarls as he bumps Garza off buckles. Gallagher puts Garza up top, and CHOPS him. Garza CHOPS back! It’s a CHOP fight up top! Gallagher hops down but comes back up to CHOP again! Garza hits low, adjusts, sunset flip but Gallagher holds on. Gallagher punches away, and even headbutts! Gallagher shoves Garza, leaps but into a dropkick! Cover, TWO!! Gallagher lives and Garza can’t believe it!

Garza drags Gallagher up, wedges him in the corner and tells the ref to shut up. Garza backs up and RAMS a knee in! Cover, TWO!! Garza is growing further frustrated but he says he’s going to end it. Garza drags Gallagher up, underhooks, but Gallagher slips out to shove and HEADBUTT! Garza SUPERKICKS on the rebound! Both men are down and Birmingham slowly builds to a rally. The standing count reaches 6 but the two men start brawling from the mat. Big forearm for big forearm, and then CHOP for CHOP. Garza stands to kick, Gallagher kicks back! Gallagher starts up the windmill fists! Birmingham fires up with the Gentleman as he whips Garza corner to corner. Gallagher runs in but misses his dropkick and gets slammed down! Garza climbs the ropes, but Gallagher trips him up!

Garza is stuck in the ropes, Gallagher clubs him on the back. Gallagher goes to a corner, and missile dropkicks Garza down! Garza wobbles, Gallagher runs in, GENTLEMAN’S DROPKICK!! Garza is stunned, Gallagher covers, ROPEBREAK!! Gallagher was so close, but he was also too close to the ropes! Gallagher drags Garza away, covers again, TWO! Garza survives but Gallagher fires off hands and knees. Gallagher tilt-o-whirls to a guillotine! Garza endures, pops Gallagher up, but the body scissors return! Gallagher drags Garza down to a knee and fans rally up! Garza finds a second wind, and rams Gallagher into buckles! Gallagher fires EuroUppers, then hops up, to leap into Garza’s arms! Garza has the underhooks, WING CLIPPER! Cover, Garza wins!

Winner: Angel Garza, by pinfall

The handsome devil of an angel gets the better of a desperate man. Garza won, just like he wanted, but will he get the title match he wants? As for Gallagher, what is he supposed to do to win? Gallagher hears Aiden English talking bad on him again, and he slaps English’s headset off! Gallagher kicks the desk hood off, and kicks at the screens. The referee reprimands Gallagher but Gallagher can’t go after an official. At least, not directly. Gallagher splashes water on the ref, starts throwing steel chairs in the ref’s general direction, and this brings security out. They get thrown and DECKED by Gallagher! Gallagher grounds ‘n’ pounds one of the security guards!

More referees and even GM Drake Maverick come out! Security keeps him contained but Gallagher is still seething. Maverick threatens suspension, and Gallagher HEADBUTTS him!! The Gentleman has snapped! What will he do now that he’s gone from desperate to enraged?

 


 

My Thoughts:

What a good episode for the third anniversary! I’m surprised they didn’t do more to commemorate it, but technically speaking, this was all stuff they meant to do last week but couldn’t because the Survivor Series build ended up too awesome to contain on just SmackDown. It got a big dicey this last year, and I didn’t see anything saying there’d be an episode tonight for most of the day. But it’s good to see WWE hasn’t pulled the plug on 205 Live just yet. They haven’t exactly gone all in on it, but thankfully Triple H took enough interest to essentially take control. Fans, however, are still pretty tired by the time 205 Live starts because of SmackDown still being before it. But the show was still good and fans got into it again by the end.

Daivari VS Mendoza was a really good opener, and it works for story to have Daivari win. He is one of the last original members, and I expect him to have a great main event blow-off against a new name like Swerve Scott as we get closer to the end of the year. I wouldn’t be surprised if Nese had a similar story, as he’s also one of the last originals still here. Burch did well in his squash match debut, there isn’t really much more he could’ve done. The 205 Live roster itself is pretty bare, perhaps one way to keep it alive would be to permanently move it to Full Sail so that there is a central location to give us more Cruiserweight crossover. If anything, that is what this show should become, since a good portion of 205 Live alumni have been moved to the other brands.

Then the main event was great, a constant of 205 Live. Gallagher and Garza both have good stories going for them, but it makes sense for Garza to win. Lio VS Garza Round 2 is coming, and I feel like it needs to be on NXT. That will get it the eyes it deserves, as well as the booking it deserves. Putting it on TLC puts it in Vince’s jurisdiction and that usually means Kickoff Show for not even 10 minutes. 205 Live still struggles to get views, but this match would give reason to watch it, too, so who knows. But as I’ve said, the title is now the NXT Cruiserweight Championship, it would make the most sense to put it on NXT TV. Maybe one day, it even gets on a TakeOver for a truly amazing match. Gallagher snapping like that was pretty great, too. At this point, I don’t know if it’s still going towards getting English back in the ring, but it has to be going towards something amazing and possibly No Disqualifications.

My Score: 8.2/10

Andrew’s TNA iMPACT! Results & Match Ratings: 3.28.2024

TNA tapings from Philly! Knockouts Number 1 Contender is decided! Rich Swann explains his heel turn and Chris Sabin vs Steve Maclin in the main event!

Published

on

Hey, even if Xplosion has been a complete waste of 45 minutes, last week’s iMPACT! showed some promise with this newer direction at least. We’re getting a return of the 8 for 1 match for the Knockouts World Title. So we’ll get a number one contender for Jordynne Grace, apparently Chris Sabin and Steve Maclin have a match, but we get some answers from Rich Swann on his heel turn.

Time to see what else we have going on!

Ratings:

  • 8 for 1 Match: Rosemary, Dani Luna,  Xia Brookside & Steph DeLander vs Havok, Jody Threat, Masha Slamovich & Alisha Edwards: Dani wins via Schoolgirl Roll-Up – **
  • Dani Luna vs Steph DeLander vs Xia Brookside vs Rosemary: Steph wins via TKO – * 1/2
  • Grizzled Young Vets (James Drake & Zack Gibson) vs Cody Deaner: GYV wins via Grit Your Teeth – SQUASH
  • Josh Alexander vs Tracy Williams: Josh wins via C4 Spike – ***1/4
  • Mike Bailey w/Trent Seven vs Eddie Edwards w/Brian Myers & Alisha Edwards: Eddie Edwards wins via Boston Knee Party – *** 1/2
  • Steve Maclin vs Chris Sabin: Maclin wins via KIA – *** 1/2

 

Results:

8 for 1 Match: Rosemary, Dani Luna,  Xia Brookside & Steph DeLander vs Havok, Jody Threat, Masha Slamovich & Alisha Edwards

So this is a random tag pairing, which the winning team than faces each other in a Fatal Four Way for Number One Contender position; that explains why half of Decay and Spitfire are on opposite teams. 

Steph faces off with Havok first but tags out to Rosemary to try and shirk responsibility, but Rosemary and Havok work together to level Steph and then Rosemary tags back out to purposefully bring DeLander back into the match. Havok throws Steph around a bit, even Lish gets in some offense, most notably her Bodyscissors Bulldog, but Steph tags out to Dani, Dani and Masha go after each other and then the match slowly starts to break down.

Dani hits the Rope Assisted Blue Thunder Bomb on Masha for 2, and starts looking for the Luna Landing. Masha slips it and we go into a bit of a locomotion Cradle spot which Dani gets the best of and wins the tag for her team!

Dani Luna vs Steph DeLander vs Xia Brookside vs Rosemary

As the match is getting set up, Masha attacks Dani to wipe her out. So the other three start fighting, Xia charges a corner, gets ole’d and she flies into ASH by Elegance who was seated at ringside because she had cosmetic surgery and couldn’t wrestle. ASH posts Xia, gets banished from ringside by the referee, back in the ring Rosemary does her rise from the dead spot and looks to finish Steph but Matt Cardona comes out of nowhere, hits the Radio Silence, Steph DeLander hits the TKO for the easy 1-2-3.

Steph DeLander is number one contender and Matt Cardona is back! Not a terrible wrinkle. The match barely existed but at least these returns are nice. 

GYV hits the ring to complain about Cody Deaner costing them the match against Time Splitters last week. So they call him out and he’s out in Red and Yellow trailer park Flash attire. Santino apparently is allowing Deaner to pick one of the GYV members to fight. Philly picks both, so Deaner attacks both. 

Grizzled Young Vets (James Drake & Zack Gibson) vs Cody Deaner

Cody gets the best of Drake early but then the GYV work over Deaner a bit early, Gibson starts talking smack and Deaner tries to Hulk Up, and it seemingly works. Combination Punches, Manhattan Drop, Corner Bulldog, tries the Deaner DDT, but Gibson cuts him off with a throat chop.

Drake uses the scarf to take advantage of the referee not looking, and then some Grit Your Teeth gives the GYV a win.

Josh Alexander walks out again to be the Talking Weapon…and yeah, not really a big fan of when he speaks. He’s dressed to wrestle so lets hope its an open challenge or a Philadelphia Drink Off with Sandman showing up…or something. Just not a lot of talking, please. OH GOOD, open challenge. Josh calls out Hammerstone, but he gets some Hot Sauce instead of Hammers.

Josh Alexander vs Tracy Williams

As expected with these two, early World of Sport style open with some chain wrestling into athletic counter wrestling and shrugging off both men’s first attempt at submissions. They both take a beat, then we go into a Chop Battle, Williams slows Josh with a Kitchen Sink, but Josh grabs him in the Vertical Suplex and then spill over the ropes. Josh is back in first, Williams tries to crawl up, eats a strike and then eats Josh’s Low Crossbody spot. So now Josh starts dogwalking Williams around the outside.

Josh throws him back in, drives a knee into his face, but as Williams tries to fight back, Josh stops all of that with a Northern Lights Suplex Hold for 2. Josh goes for a Heel Hook to weaken the ankle for a potential Ankle Lock. So just early joint manipulation and Back Breakers from Josh leaves Williams writhing and absorbing so much…not really fighting back much. Tracy tries a desperation short Headbutt to the gut like he’s Spike Dudley, but it seems to just annoy Josh. A few traded Overhand Chops, C4 Spike attempt but Tracy drops his weight. Josh gets a little arrogant, starts with a few half assed slaps and it allows Tracy to fire a few strike, Back Drop Suplex, drives Josh into the corner and sets up the Avalanche Butterfly Suplex. Tracy goes for a submission but Josh is too close to the ropes.

With all of Williams’ offense, Josh manages to fire through and land an Exploder Suplex to rock Tracy. A few more big moves from Josh, into the Power Breaker seems to give Josh all of the momentum. C4 Spike again, Back Drop counter, Back Elbow and Tracy tries a corner set up but Josh cuts him off and they start fighting on the top. Williams counters the Superplex, DDT into the top corner buckle, Death Valley Driver into an STF, then Crossface but Josh is fighting. Piledriver attempt from Williams, straight right says no, Release German Suplex, straps go down but Tracy kicks Josh in the face. They trade Big Boots, Josh with a Backslide into the C4 Spike for the win!

Both these guys chant kicks up, Josh offers the handshake, they go for the corny Indie respect moment and Hammerstone hits the ring and lays them both out. Hammer puts the head gear on Tracy and throws him into the Torture Rack. 

This might be Ali’s best promo ever.

Mike Bailey w/Trent Seven vs Eddie Edwards w/Brian Myers & Alisha Edwards

I do really like The System’s theme song. 

Eddie goes for the NOAH Chop, Bailey ducks the first one and tries to keep things quick, but Eddie catches him and caves in his chest real quick. Front Kick from Bailey into the Back Handspring that culminates into a Gamengiri, Eddie powders and Speedball goes for the Tope con Hilo. Arm Wringer into a Round Kick to the chest. Bailey breaks the count, eats a chop and then get go into a kicks and chops trading spot. Myers provides enough of a distraction since they’re on the outside so Eddie scoops Bailey and Blue Thunder Bomb on the apron.

Another count reset, this time from Eddie and the Chops continue from Eddie. Eventually Eddie throws Bailey back into the ring, very unceremoniously, drops a knee to the eyes and goes for 3 pinfalls in quick succession. Fingers to the eyes, chops to the chest, Backpack Stunner attempt but Speedball wriggles free and John Woo Dropkick gives him some space. Spinning Back Kick, Axe Kick, Round Kick, Running Shooting Star, for 2! Speedball slaps his chest to try and send a message while he starts lighting up Eddie with about half a dozen Round Kicks to the chest. He then goes for the Lightning Kicks while Eddie is on the ropes, Myers pulls out Eddie, Bailey attempts a dive but puts the brakes on, acts like he’s distracted by Myers but avoid Eddie’s sneak attack. Kick to the face into a Corkscrew Asai Moonsault, back in the ring, Tornado Kick from Bailey, goes for Ultima Weapon but he eats a Gamengiri into the Backpack Stunner for 2!

Both men rise, Chop from Bailey sends him on his ass, and we go back to kicks versus chops. Bailey with the combination kicks, tries the Buzzsaw but Eddie moves, Lariat! Tiger Driver attempt, but Bailey says no, Backflip Knees gives Bailey all the momentum. He tries the Tornado set up, Myers and Alisha get involved but Trent Seven nullifes Myers, Bailey with the Double Clutch Superkick to rock Eddie, he goes back to the Tornado set up but Lish grabs his feet, Bailey fights her off, drops Eddie, goes for Ultima Weapon but misses! Boston Knee Party to the back of Bailey’s head, Eddie wins!

There’s a quick video package for the FBI next week. Not sure if that means we only see Guido, or if Vito and others will show up.

Rich homie Swann and AJ Francis show up and I’m fairly sure he named them “First Class”. They keep saying AJ Francis in the same cadence as AJ Styles, so I get what they’re doing there. And Swann basically says AJ was the only one who cared about how Rich was doing, Hendry just stole his thunder and did nothing. “If you ain’t First Class, you’re last” – Talladega Nights references? Well now.

Steve Maclin vs Chris Sabin

Mostly an uneventful start, a few moments from both men, Sabin speeds things up when he ducks out and baits Maclin to try the Scud Missile, but he outsmarts him by sliding back in. Maclin doesn’t full commit to the dive but does roll out a little hard which gives Sabin the chance to jump on him. Baseball Slide, Wristlock over the ring post, throws him back in and looks for a Grounded Top Wristlock. Sabin acting a bit more like Shelley with the joint focus, but Maclin manages to use the ropes to his advantage and bounce Sabin off of them twice.

Maclin finally has some control, Forearm to the low back, drapes Sabin on the middle rope and drives the knee into the back of his head. Maclin lays in some chops, grounds any of Sabin’s attempts and locks in a Chin Lock. Sabin finally fires up , but Maclin hits the Olympic Slam to stifle Sabin’s attempts. Maclin perches Sabin, tries the Superplex but a few punches and a bite gives Sabin an opening and Sabin connects with the Missile Dropkick. Manhattan Drop into a Crucifix cover for 2, Swinging Neckbreaker causes Maclin to retreat to the corner and Sabin focuses a few Forearms to the back of the head and a Snap DDT.

A few wild swings from Maclin give Sabin a gift, so he goes for the Crossface. Maclin barely rolls tot he ropes to break the hold, powders out and moves out of the way of the Plancha. BUSAIKU KNEE to level Sabin. Jar-Headbutt for a near fall! Maclin Tree of Woes Sabin, Caught in the Crosshairs, Sabin sits up but Maclin knows how to avoid the post. A small back and forth, Mayhem for All and only a 2 count! Jar-Headbutt number two misses, La Magistral for only 2, both collide with lariats and then go into the Fighting Spirit spot. Slugfest but Sabin hits a Sole Butt, Sabin tries to continue but Maclin coldcocks Sabin sending him to the outside, Scud Missile Dive – MISSES! Maclin is laid out on the outside, count out starts, Sabin is back in around 6, Maclin barely beats the 10. Springboard Tornado DDT from Sabin for a near fall!

Cradle Shock attempt, but Maclin fights it off. Sabin jumps, misses, Tree of Woe, Caught in the Crosshairs! Maclin tries the KIA but Sabin turns it into a Wrestler’s Bridge Pinfall for only 2, but Maclin holds on to the arms, connects with the KIA and wins!

 

Overall Score: 7/10

Well aside from the fact the opening match was a little bit of a hectic mess and Kon is still a storyline relevant thing…the better portion of the episode was pretty fun. I didn’t love the allusions to Santino handing out rights to challenge and open challenge vouchers, felt like a weird “authority” figure kind of spin. But when he finally showed up and continued to be the lovable goof, its all good.

Ali had his best promo ever, “Mr Rhinoceros”, was a great way to spin into the conversation with Rhyno. Sabin steering more into Shelley’s bag of tricks and still coming up short is interesting. Steph DeLander with the big return win and bringing Cardona back with her is generally a fun angle. Speedball looked awesome and Hammerstone did a great job looking like a massive douche and executing the best Torture Rack since Lex Luger.

Of course there’s a few gripes, but all in all, it was pretty fun.

Athena VS Nikita!

The Fallen Goddess was stressed out watching Hikaru Shida tune up for Supercard of Honor, so she’s getting back in the ring to work through that. Will Athena prove this is still her show? Or can The Russian Vixxen take advantage of Shida being on Athena’s mind?

The Code of Honor is upheld, the bell rings, and then Athena rushes in! Nikita dodges to rally with lariats and a SLINGBLADE! The fans rally, Nikita runs in at the corner and she SPLASHES, to then BULLDOG! Athena gets spiked and Nikita gets fired up! Nikita brings Athena up, underhooks, then PEDIGREES! Cover, ONE?!? Athena is tough but Nikita is still surprised. Nikita storms up but is sent into buckles! Nikita stops herself just in time, and she ROCKS Athena! Nikita brings Athena in while she goes up the corner, for a HANGING HEADSCISSOR! The ref counts, Nikita lets off, but Athena gets mad!

Athena DIVES and wipes Nikita out against barriers! Athena is mad now, and she brings Nikita up to THROW her into railing! Athena shouts at Nikita, then wheelbarrows to SWING her into barriers! Athena says you’re welcome and takes a bow, then she goes back for Nikita. Athena puts Nikita in, looms over her while soaking up cheers and jeers, then stalks Nikita as she crawls. Athena hauls Nikita up, CLUBS her again and again, then underhooks for a BUTTERFLY SWING! Athena TOSSES Nikita away, drags her up, and then HALF HATCH SLAMS! Nikita is dazed, but Athena sits her up. Athena ties up the legs and puts on a STANDING CROSSFACE! Nikita taps, Athena wins!

Winner: Athena, by submission

Ahead of crossing swords with the Shining Samurai, the ROH Women’s World Champion is sharpening her edge. As such, she SHOTGUNS Nikita back down! The fans boo as Athena CLUBS away on Nikita! Athena then puts Nikita in the Tree of Woe and lifts her up, to KICK away on Nikita’s back! Athena takes the belt, puts it in front of Nikita’s face, and she trots as she takes aim. But wait! Here comes Shida! The fans fire up as Athena runs away! Shida helps Nikita out of the Tree, then picks up the belt Athena left behind! She even dares Athena to come get it back! Is Shida going to be the one that finally dethrones the Overlord? Or will Athena make sure “forever champion” means forever?

 

Backstage interview with Lee Johnson.

Renee Paquette is here to talk with Big Shotty, and notes his impressive 2024 streak. He asked for this time, so what’s going on? Lee says that he has said it before and he will proudly say it again. He is not here to take part, he is here to take over! And now let him add something else: he is here to take titles! Now, he has heard there’s an ROH World Television Championship match between one champion in Kyle Fletcher and All Heart, Blake Christian. Now, whoever comes out victorious, Lee’s calling his shot! Supercard of Honor, Big Shotty’s got next! Lee is ready to swing for the fences, is he going to get his chance to hit it out of the park?

 

Dalton Castle VS Nick Comoroto!

The Peacock is still in his slump, and not even his substitute Boys are enough. Meanwhile, did the Freak Beast really shave his beard? Then which change will be the more hindering? Castle without Brandon & Brent, or Comoroto with Jacoby Watts?

The Code of Honor is upheld, and in tight quarters, and the bell rings. The fans rally for Castle as he and Comoroto circle. Castle squats low, real low, then he rushes up to collar ‘n’ elbow! Comoroto powers Castle right to a corner, the ref counts, and Comoroto lets off at 4. Comoroto makes the pecs dance and then flicks sweat at Castle. Castle storms right up, and he, uh, “hip” checks Comoroto! Comoroto gives it back! Comoroto smirks but Castle gets those hips moving. Then he hits the low leg takedown! He rolls Comoroto then CLUBS away on him! Comoroto gets free, kicks low, then ROCKS Castle with a haymaker!

Comoroto bumps Castle off buckles then RAMS into him again and again and again! The ref counts, Comoroto whips Castle but Castle reverses to TOSS Comoroto! Comoroto holds on and he manages to skin the cat! A big cat at that, but Castle waistlocks! Comoroto holds onto ropes to stop the lift, then he backs Castle into a corner. Comoroto throws elbows, gets space and comes back, but into a BOOT! Castle runs up, into a LARIAT! The fans rally, Comoroto huffs and puffs and brings Castle up. Comoroto reels Castle in, but Castle Alabama Lifts! Comoroto CLUBS Castle down then shoves him away.

Comoroto swings but Castle blocks to ROCK him first! Castle fires more forearms, but Comoroto shoves him away. Comroto runs up, Castle gets around, BIG GERMAN SUPLEX! The fans fire up, Comoroto staggers to his feet, and into an Alabama Lift! BANGAAAAAA~RANG! Cover, Castle wins!

Winner: Dalton Castle, by pinfall

Comoroto is a big man, so this was a big win for The Peacock! But wait, here comes Taya Valkyrie! And she tells Castle, “How dare you say that we are irresponsible! Yeah, we lost The Boys. But after the short time we had them, I realized how rude and annoying they are! So, I’m glad we lost them! Because they were a couple of BAD boys!” The fans boo but Taya says yeah, she went there! And they probably got it from Castle! Because Castle never loved them! Not like Mommy & Daddy TV loved them! So for that, Castle deserves this! Sneak attack by Johnny TV! MOONLIGHT DRIVE and a SHINING WIZARD!

Johnny rains down fists on Castle, then says they were BAD boys! Castle set a bad example for them! They’re all losers! The fans boo but Mr. & Mrs. TV just stand over Castle to make out! Then they stomp Castle on their way out! Even as he wins matches, will Castle still be lost in life with The Boys lost in the woods of Canada?

 

Mark Briscoe speaks.

“Philadelphia. For #DemBoys, that is the origin of professional wrestling. That’s when we felt it. That’s when we said this is in our soul, man.” Jay himself once said, “This is what we was created to do, man.” Baddest tag team on the planet, almost a quarter century, and BOOM, it gets taken away in a moment. So Mark’s starting over from square one, flying solo. Continental Classic, the game plan was to get on top, and to soar! But his wings were clipped, humbled once again. But there’s this voice inside of him, it’s Jay’s voice, that says, “Don’t worry about that broken wing, son. You was born to fly. With wings like an eagle, we gonna mount up.”

Mark knows Eddie Kingston’s got that same voice inside of him. “Ain’t that some s*it?” Mark knows Eddie’s had the highs and lows, the peaks and valleys, just like Mark. Eddie became the first American Triple Crown Champion, took on all comers defending that, but then lost to the AEW Continental Championship to Kazuchika Okada. Eddie talked to his mentor, Homicide, and agreed that it is time to tap into something from the past. Into that hungry Eddie, that ruthless Eddie, that vicious Eddie. The Eddie with that dog in him! That Pitbull! Every yard has a top dog, but Eddie, you may be ROH World Champion, but Mark’s gonna show you in Philly that MARK is top dog!

April 5th marks 11 years to the day that brother Jay won his first ROH World Championship. And just like he told Mark, time to man up. Eddie, it is time to man up. Philly, it is time to man up! Mark Briscoe VS Eddie Kingston, ROH World Championship, Supercard of Honor, we will man up. But who will be the man that holds up that title at the end of the night?

 

Diamante VS Kiera Hogan!

The Cuban Diamond won big in a Four Corner Survival, and she won in the opening round of the ROH Women’s World Television Championship tournament. Both of those losses only served to fan the flames, and now Kiera wants to turn up the heat! Will Kiera get her lick back? Or does Diamante just have Kiera’s number?

The Code of Honor is upheld, the bell rings, and the fans rally as the two circle. They tie up, Diamante headlocks, and she grinds the hold. Kiera powers up but can’t power out as Diamante holds tight. Kiera tries again, but Diamante still keeps the headlock on. Kiera throws body shots, powers out again and is free, but Diamante runs her over! Cover, ONE, and the two stand off. The fans rally as the two reset and go again. Kiera headlocks this time, dares Diamante to keep that same energy now, but Diamante grinds her forearm into Kiera’s face. Diamante powers out but Kiera runs her over! “And that’s all, periodt!”

The fans rally as the two reset again. Kiera wants that Miami heat, so the two tie up again. Kiera wrenches an arm, wristlocks, but Diamante rolls, kips up and wrenches back. Diamante wristlocks then hammerlocks, then spins Kiera for a snapmare. Diamante clamps on with a chinlock and she grinds Kiera down. Kiera fights up, pries the hold open, and fans cheer as she wrenches back. Kiera uses the hammerlock to wrangle Diamante, then she bridges over! Diamante endures, so Kiera floats to a facelock. Diamante gator rolls free and wrenches Kiera to a top mounted armlock! Kiera endures and the fans rally again.

Kiera fights up, wrenches and wristlocks, but Diamante goes to ropes. The ref counts, Kiera lets off quickly, and the armbands come off! They tie up, Kiera wrenches and wristlocks. Diamante ROCKS Kiera! Kiera falls, Diamante stomps her, then drags her up to ROCK her again! Diamante ROCKS Kiera one more time, then runs the ropes, but into a BOOT! And ROUNDHOUSE! Cover, TWO! Diamante stays in this and she kicks right back. Diamante whips, Kiera ducks ‘n’ whips to then drop and trip Diamante! Kiera keeps moving, STEP-UP LEG DROP! Cover, TWO! Diamante sputters and goes to a corner but Kiera eggs her on.

Kiera fires forearms now, then whips corner to corner. Diamante hits buckles hard, then Kiera fires up. The fans rally behind her as she runs in, but Diamante drop toeholds her into buckles! Diamante then stomps away on Kiera in the corner! The ref counts, Diamante lets off at 4, and she drags Kiera up to put her against buckles. Diamante stomps some more, then goes corner to corner and back again, HYDRAULIC DROPKICK! Diamante drags Kiera to the cover, TWO! Keira stays in this and Diamante is annoyed. Diamante sits Kiera up and traps an arm before she clamps on, cording hold and SHOULDER CLAW!

Kiera endures this modified cobra twist, and Diamante even grinds her forearm into Kiera’s face. The fans rally as Kiera fights up. Kiera throws body shots, ROCKS Diamante, but Diamante RAMS Kiera into the corner! And RAMS her again! Then CHOPS! Diamante puts Kiera up top, ROCKS her, then ROCKS her again! Diamante climbs up to throw more shots, and then brings her up. The fans rally while Kiera blocks the suplex! Kiera throws body shots, then shoves Diamante away! Diamante comes back, but Kiera MISSILE DROPKICKS her! Diamante tumbles and the fans rally while both women are down.

Kiera pounds the mat to fire up again. She nods as she rises, the fans behind her. Kiera runs up to CLOBBER Diamante! And she CLOBBERS her again! Diamante swings, Kiera blocks to snapmare and “EAT IT!” SUPERKICK! The fans fire up as Kiera goes Around the World to HIP ATTACK! Then side to side, BOOT WASH! Cover, ROPEBREAK!! Diamante gets a bit lucky and Kiera is frustrated. Kiera fireman’s carries but Diamante fights it. Then she CLAWS Kiera’s eyes! CHOP BLOCK! Diamante fires up now, she dragon sleepers, and says goodnight. But Kiera throws knees to say not yet!

Kiera snapmares free, runs up, SUPERKICK! Diamante flounders, Kiera hauls her up, FACE THE MUSIC! Bridging cover, Kiera wins!

Winner: Kiera Hogan, by pinfall

The swinging fisherman neckbreaker punctuates this one, periodt! Kiera wants to be the first in line to face the inaugural ROH Women’s World Television Champion, but just who will it be? The Queen of Guinea, Queen Aminata? Or Athena’s protege, Billie Starkz?

 

BREAKING NEWS for Supercard of Honor!

It’s already a big night with the title matches, including the crowning of the first-ever ROH Women’s World TV Champion, but now even Stardom is getting in on the action! It will be a Six Woman Tag as Mina Shirakawa, Maika & Mei Seira take on Saya Kamitani, Tam Nakano & AZM!

 

Hikaru Shida speaks.

“In AEW, I won Woman’s World title three times, I beat Toni Storm, I beat Saraya, Willow, Anna Jay, almost everyone. I need stimulation! And so do you. Right, Athena? Do you remember the moment we faced each other in the ring last year? I know you’ve been excited! I know fans have been excited! But… the person who has been excited most is me. Excited to beat up the ‘forever champ.’ So, hello, ROH! Be ready for a new era. Because Holy Shida has arrived!” The Shining Samurai is ready, but will she be able to cut down the Fallen Goddess?

 

ROH World Television Championship: Kyle Fletcher VS Blake Christian!

As Supercard of Honor approaches, it is about time the Protostar returned to ROH TV. But will this return be less than triumphant? Or will All Heart be an easy target for the Aussie Arrow?

The introductions are made, the belt is raised, and we see who heads for Philly!
