PLAY BY PLAY

The world is buzzing after last week’s NXT UK Championship match.

The strength, the speed, the violence, it all lived up to the hype, and then blew that hype out of the water. Afterwards, Walter spoke backstage and said, “I’ve proven time and time again. I will forever be the chosen one to represent, to restore the honor of this great sport.” As for Ilja Dragunov, it seemed hard for even him to believe he was still able to move. Will the Moscow Madman be able to pick up the pieces and push forward in hopes of one day doing it all over again?

 

Six Man Tag: Gallus VS Sam Gradwell & Pretty Deadly!

Joe Coffey returns! Will the Iron King and the NXT UK Tag Team Champions show us all that this is still their kingdom?

The teams sort out and though Gradwell doesn’t like Pretty Deadly that much, he lets Sam Stoker start against Mark Coffey. Stoker and Coffey circle and tie up, and Mark throws Stoker with an arm-drag. Stoker gets up, ties up with Mark again but Mark uses a hip toss this time! Stoker grows frustrated but he resets and ties up with Mark again. Stoker waistlocks, Mark breaks free and wrenches to tag in Wolfgang. Wolfgang wrenches but Stoker breaks free to dropkick!

Gradwell CLUBS Joe, but taunts too long and Joe wrings him out, runs and POUNCES him! Pretty Deadly get in but Gallus POUNCES them, too! Gallus stands together in the ring while Pretty Deadly and Gradwell regroup. Gradwell tells them to stop doing the Scott Hall wiggle fingers and let him handle this. Gradwell gets in and Joe tells him, “No one cares, mate!” So what if Gradwell’s been out two years? Gradwell gets in and ties up with Joe, then breaks to SLAP him!

Wolfgang and Mark keep Pretty Deadly back, and Gallus stands tall. But will Stoker and Howley get their shot at the tag titles soon enough?

 

NXT UK looks closely at tonight’s Heritage Cup semifinal.

A-Kid admits, “Noam Dar really gets in my head. And last time I wrestled him, I had him scouted as much as any other person on the roster.” But the Scottish Supernova got away with a low blow and then won. Dar himself has some facts: the last time they stepped in the ring, he “put that little Pokémon down, and I’m gonna do it again.” AK knows that he’ll have to be better this round, but that’s what he does every day. Dar says contrary to popular belief, he doesn’t dislike A-Kid. He sees a lot of himself in A-Kid. Dar knows A-Kid has the biggest opportunity in his WWE career, but he’s living in a dreamland. Dar doesn’t need external validation, he’s internally motivated. Dar is a problem A-Kid cannot solve.

A-Kid says being in the Heritage Cup is already amazing, especially after that match with Flash Morgan Webster. Right now, A-Kid is living a dream, but it is reality. Will the dream continue for the Spanish Ace? Or will Mr. Supernova 11 turn it up and take that opportunity for himself?

 

NXT UK Media catches up with Sid Scala, and Rampage Brown.

The newest member of the roster has finally arrived and the coaches are great to have him at the UK Performance Center. “Don’t stop on my account, lads.” The trainees can’t help but notice Rampage, but in the ring is Jack Starz pulling off drills. Not bad with that handstand. Dave Mastiff says hey, and that it’s about time. Scala leads Rampage on to officially sign his contract. Will Rampage feel right at home in NXT UK?

 

Jinny VS Aleah James!

Speaking of new additions, the Spoiled Princess gets to “welcome” the newest addition to the UK Women’s Division. But will the welcome be less than warm with the Fashionista still after Kay Lee Ray and the NXT UK Women’s Championship?

The bell rings and Jinny insists she isn’t ready. She puts her fancy robe away and then smirks at Aleah. They tie up, Jinny powers Aleah to a corner but lets off with attitude. Aleah shoves back so Jinny arm-drags her away! They tie up again, Jinny throws Aleah right down and then eggs her on. Aleah arm-drags back and clamps onto the arm! Jinny fights up, knees low and then again! Jinny whips Aleah hard into buckles! “Who do you think you are?!” Jinny stomps Aleah but Aleah kicks back. Jinny stomps her down at the ropes but lets off at the ref’s count. Jinny drags Aleah up and whips, but Aleah ducks and dropkicks back! Aleah boots but Jinny blocks it to throw her down onto Jinny’s knee! Jinny tells the “stupid girl” off then stomps her.

Jinny drags Aleah up to reel her in and LARIAT! Cover, TWO! Jinny keeps talking trash while she pushes and slaps Aleah around. Jinny drags Aleah up to a straitjacket stretch but Aleah endures. Jinny bends Aleah back against her knees! Aleah still endures, fights up but Jinny BOOTS her down! Jinny stomps Aleah, keeps telling her she’s stupid, but Aleah keeps fighting back. Jinny rains down vicious rights but Aleah gets to a corner. Jinny slaps Aleah around but argue with the ref about the rules. Jinny drags Aleah up, whips her corner to corner, then runs in, but Aleah goes up and over! Aleah handsprings, goes Matrix and headscissors Jinny down! Aleah runs but Jinny ducks the crossbody! Ripcord ROLLING LIGER KICK! Cover, Jinny wins!

Winner: Jinny, by pinfall

Welcome to NXT UK, Aleah James. But will Jinny’s even fiercer attitude be what takes her to the title? Jinny grabs a mic to say Aleah is an example of how ruthless Jinny can be. “There is a reason I am the Queen of NXT UK. And that’s because I have something that none of these girls will ever have: killer instinct.” You see people walking around, thinking they’re untouchable, like Piper Niven acting like she should be on top! But speaking of, here comes Piper! Piper makes her way to the ring, dares Jinny to say that to her face. Jinny says she is, they’re right here! Jinny dares Piper to do something, but KLR laughs at them both. “You two are funny. Now, I know I like to talk just as much as you, but I have one very important thing that backs that up.”

Here’s a hint to what it is: It’s white, gold and shiny, lives around her waist, and neither of them will ever have it. Now since these two don’t have it, let’s try something else. KLR puts a chair in the ring, and says that Jinny would stab her own granny in the back to get a title shot. But Piper, no, KLR doesn’t thinks he has what it takes. Piper had the perfect opportunity to have it all, and threw it away. So let’s find out who really has the killer instinct. Jinny SLAPS Piper! Piper scowls, then HEADBUTTS Jinny! KLR laughs as Piper grabs the chair and SMACKS Jinny on the back! Aleah hurries over to tell piper she doesn’t have to do this, but Piper scoops and PIPER DRIVERS her!! Piper drags Jinny up and brings the chair into this! FULL METAL PIPER DRIVER!! KLR is actually shocked to see that!

Piper says Jinny will never speak bad of her again. And then she glares at KLR! KLR staggers and falls, and Piper gives chase! Will it be Piper who gets her second shot at KLR first?

 

NXT UK hears from Eddie Dennis.

“There is a symbiotic relationship between man and beast. A huntsman uses his lurcher to flush a rabbit from a hole. A shepherd sheers his sheep to keep his family warm. And now, I stand alongside a Primate and a Boar.” Dennis knows Mark Andrews claims they were friends for 15 long years. But Dennis says he was being USED for those 15 years. And Flash Morgan Webster, you and Boar were best friends? Dennis says Webster used Boar like an animal. And Primate here, he “was built on a battlefield, born to follow orders, and hurt people.” The Boar and Primate roar, but with one “Hush,” from Dennis, they calm themselves. With the Welsh Dragon leading them, will The Hunt turn every team on the NXT UK roster into their prey?

 

NXT UK shares what happened during the break!

Piper caught up to KLR! And she thrashed her about by her hair! Referees hurried to stop this but Piper pulled the belt from KLR’s waist! Piper has it now, and tells KLR to get ready to say good-bye to it! Sid Scala got Piper to give the belt back and take her leave. KLR may have made the biggest mistake of her life pushing Piper this far! In two weeks, we see a FALLS COUNT ANYWHERE match for the NXT UK Women’s Championship! Where will it finally end for these two friends turned bitter enemies?

 

NXT UK Heritage Cup Semifinals: Noam Dar VS A-Kid!

The Scottish Supernova beat Imperium’s Hatchet Man in the fifth, but so did the Spanish Ace against the Modfather! Will these bright young superstars go the distance, all for a spot in the finals?

The bell rings and we begin the first round. AK and Dar circle and feel out the grapple. They tie up with knuckle locks, AK rolls and trips Dar up but Dar scrambles back to his feet. They go around, Dar pops out of the facelock but AK keeps him off a cover. Dar wrenches the arm, AK rolls and rolls and rolls to get free. The BT Sports studio audience applauds as the two reset. Dar and AK tie up. AK gets the arm but Dar the mat return. AK moves around to get the facelock but Dar pushes his way up to fireman’s carry and wristlock. Dar SLAPS the hand but AK kips up. Dar wrangles him down, grinds the arm, shifts to a headlock but AK fights up and wrenches out. AK headlocks, Dar stays up then powers out. AK runs him over with a big shoulder tackle, then hits a big headlock takeover!

Dar fights up and around as we’re under a minute. AK gets another headlock takeover but Dar headscissors. AK pops out, hits another takeover, and then he traps an arm. Dar endures, fights his way up, but AK holds as Dar tries to power out. We’re down to 15 seconds, Dar lifts to crotch AK! Under 10 seconds and Dar runs to BOOT AK down! AK is on the outside as the round ends!

Dar: 0; A-Kid: 0

Dar throws pinkies up, then mockingly says A-Kid should get to his corner. This is all part of Dar’s plan to waste AK’s 20 second break! Dar is just fine but AK barely gets enough time to have his water and catch his breath. Round two begins, will AK be able to rebound?

Another three minutes and the two circle. Dar and AK knuckle lock, Dar steps in to trap an arm then cravat. AK endures as Dar thrashes and snapmares. AK gets right up, sees Dar rushing in and pushes him away. AK goes to whip but Dar headlocks and snapmares. AK handsprings through, springboards and arm-drags to kip up and dropkick! Cover, TWO! AK keeps Dar down with an armlock, then a chinbar. Dar fights up, powers AK to a corner and the ref calls for a break. AK goes up, boots Dar away but Dar sweeps the legs right back! Dar covers, TWO! Dar drops elbows on the leg and then paces around. AK swipes at Dar but Dar brings him up to bump off buckles. Dar brings AK out to ROCK him with a European Uppercut!

Dar taunts the “Pokémon” but AK hits low! And CHOPS him! Dar knees AK down and we’re at a minute left already. Dar stomps AK’s hands, “Just like Pete Dunne!” Dar brings AK up, goes after the hand but AK ROCKS him with a right! And another! And another! AK runs but Dar table tops him! Dar gets the arms, spins and spins and spins, and spins and spins, to a backslide! TWO and AK gets Dar’s leg! STF! Dar endures with 20 seconds and counting! AK shifts to a CROSSFACE! Dar endures and time runs out!!

Dar: 0; A-Kid: 0

The bell saves Dar and round two is over! AK has ample time to rest now, and we’re already on to round three!

Dar stays in his corner and uses the ropes as defense. AK smirks as he waits for Dar to return. They circle, tie up and Dar gets a facelock. Dar cranks on the hold but AK slips out. Dar drags him back into the hold but AK gets out again and again. AK ducks the clothesline, waistlocks but Dar bucks the O’Conner roll off. AK kips right back up to NORTHERN LIGHTS! And then floats over to an ARMBAR! Dar endures, rolls around and gets out to then body scissor and roll, TWO! Dar urns in but into a HARD back elbow! AK goes up, jumps the sweep this time, and dodges in the other corner! AK KICKS but Dar ROCKS him with a right! Dar swings but into AK’s takedown!

AK is still in this but Dar omoplatas to then grab at the other arm. AK resists so Dar clubs him over an dover! We’re at a minute as Dar gets his modified Jim Breaks Special! AK VERBALLY taps, Dar gets a fall!

Dar: 1; A-Kid: 0

But Dar won’t let off! He stomps AK’s head and pulls on the arm! The ref finally gets him to let off and warns him, this match is still going on. Dar backs off to his corner but what shape is AK in as we go into round four?

AK gets up but Dar sweeps the leg! And AK lands on his bad arm! Dar looms over AK, grabs the arm but AK kicks back. Dar stomps the arm, then the leg, then the other leg!

Dark kicks the bad leg then throat chops, headbutts and uppercuts! But AK comes back to tackle Dar with a sleeper hold! Dar fights up, back suplexes, but AK lands on his feet! AK waistlocks. Dar drops down but AK uses that for a EUROCLUTCH! AK gets the fall!!

Dar: 1; A-Kid: 1

We’re all tied up!! And now we’re in the fifth round! This is the limit Dar and AK both reached, will it all end here?

Dar sits up and gets forehead to forehead with AK. AK ROCKS Dar, Dar ROCKS AK, repeat! We’re under 20 seconds as Dar throws more hands. AK hits back, they brawl as they stand, back and forth, under 10! The round ends as Dar gets AK down! Dar wants to hit more but he has to wait!

Dar: 1; A-Kid: 1

Incredible!! A-Kid pulls off another comeback to be the winner! The Spanish Ace is the first finalist in the Heritage Cup! But will he be met by the Bomber or the Man from Moustache Mountain?


My Thoughts:

What a great episode! That bit to recap the NXT UK Championship match was good, with Walter’s comments there. The Six Man Tag was a solid opener, though of course Gallus wins. Joe Coffey gets the win off Sam Gradwell because the NXT UK Tag Team Championship math needs to be left alone. Still pretty sure Gallus wins that, too. I think it should come down to Gallus VS Eddie Dennis & The Hunt. The Hunt will surely take on South Wales Subculture once Andrews and Morgan are “cleared.” The promo from Dennis was great, and the matches will be great. Rampage Brown had a fairly simple intro to NXT UK, and I feel like Jack Starz making a cameo will mean he gets jobbed out to Rampage like he did to Walter.

The entire Women’s Division segment was great. Jinny definitely showed her new aggression against Aleah James, but to think PIPER would bring all of this out of herself! I feel like they might’ve changed their minds and now we won’t get KLR VS Jinny. Piper might end up winning that Falls Count Anywhere match and she’ll take on Jinny. But who knows, this could be a last hurrah for Piper in NXT UK and then she follows Rhea Ripley and Toni Storm to NXT USA. Then the Heritage Cup British Rounds match was great stuff. I am SHOCKED Dar lost, I really thought we were getting a rematch of Dar VS Seven as the finals. But instead, A-Kid is in and that is great for him, he’s really impressed since day one. Seven VS Mastiff is going to be rough, I wouldn’t be surprised Mastiff wins but Seven’s story of needing this accomplishment has to be where we go.

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.

PLAY BY PLAY

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!

The Code of Honor is not upheld as Kyle kicks Blake’s hand away, so Blake shakes his own hand. The bell rings, the two circle, and they tie up. Blake wrenches, wristlocks, but Kyle shoots around to waistlock and SLAM! The fans boo but Kyle soaks it up. Blake gets up, he and Kyle reset and circle again. They tie up, Blake waistlocks then headlocks. Kyle powers out and runs Blake over! Kyle flexes to show he’s bulking up, but then Blake blocks a stomp! Blake kips up but Kyle breaks free to ROCK Blake! Things speed up, Blake hurdles, drops down, then DROPKICKS! Blake kips up and dusts himself off and the fans cheer.

Blake says va fa Napoli, Kyle rushes in, but he blocks Blake’s arm-drag. Kyle whips Blake away but Blake handsprings to wheelbarrow, victory roll, and SPLASH 182! Cover, TWO! Kyle gets away to ropes and catches his breath. Blake storms up, wrenches and whips, but Kyle blocks by holding ropes! Blake CLUBS the arm, but Kyle avoids the chop to clothesline Blake up and out! Fans boo as Kyle builds speed, but Blake slides in! Kyle stops the tope and goes back to the apron, only to get a 619! The fans fire up as Blake builds speed, and Blake FOSBURY FLOPS into the EYE OF THE HURRICANE!

The fans are thunderous as Blake gets Kyle up and in. Cover, TWO! Kyle stays in this but Blake stays cool. The fans rally again as Blake aims from a corner. Blake says he’s becoming champ, and he runs in, but into a POP-UP SWINGING SIDE SLAM! Cover, TWO! Blake survives and Kyle is annoyed again. Kyle tastes a bit of blood in his mouth, maybe cut his lip or tongue on his teeth. But he shrugs that off to stalk Blake to ropes. Kyle stands Blake up to CHOP him down! The fans “WOO~!” as Kyle pretends he can’t see where Blake went. Fans want that “One More Time!” and Kyle brings Blake up again.

Kyle has Blake in the corner now, winds up, but Blake dodges the chop to CHOP! CHOP! CHOP! MACHINE GUN CHOP! The fans fire up as Blake runs, but Kyle CLOBBERS Blake! Blake is dazed as Kyle hits an Ospreay level elbow shot. Blake crawls to a corner, Kyle eggs the fans on, and Kyle storms up on Blake. Kyle whips corner to corner, but Blake goes up to handstand! Kyle runs in but Blake BOOTS Kyle, then drops into the DDT!! The fans fire up while Kyle sputters! Kyle finds his way to ropes, comes back, but Blake ELBOWS him! Blake whips, Kyle reverses but Blake goes up and over and dragon sleepers! BACKBREAKER to SCREW HIGH KICK!

Kyle tumbles out, scrambles back up, but Blake goes up and out to APRON SPEAR! Blake just keeps going, and he DIVES! Direct hit with the Low-pe Suicida, and Blake puts Kyle right back in! Blake climbs up, Kyle sits up, into the ALL MACHO ELBOW!! Cover, TWO!!! Kyle survives and shocks everyone! Blake is frustrated, but he refocuses and calls his shot. The fans rally as Blake climbs the corner to the top. But Kyle springs up to SWEEP the legs! Blake hits buckles then falls to the mat! Kyle huffs and puffs and aims from the corner. Kyle runs in, GAMANGIRI! And then suplex, BRAINBUSTER!! Cover, TWO?!?

The fans are thunderous again and Kyle cannot believe it! Kyle drags Blake up, but Blake goes to fireman’s carry! Kyle fires off elbows, reels Blake in and- NO, Blake slips outta the bomb to fireman’s carry! Kyle reaches for ropes so Blake HOTSHOTS him on them! Kyle is stuck up there, so Blake goes up a corner! GUILLOTINE FROG SPLASH!! Blake hurries to get Kyle in, then hurries to the corner! Blake runs, step-up, but Kyle makes it a sunset flip! TWO, Blake sits on it, TWO! Kyle deadlifts Blake into a PILEDRIVER!! Cover, Kyle wins!

Winner: Kyle Fletcher, by pinfall (still ROH World Television Champion)

Kyle pretends he can’t hear all the boos, but he can’t pretend he doesn’t see Lee Johnson walking out on stage! The Aussie Arrow may have hit the bull’s eye tonight, but is he about to get shot down by Big Shotty?


My Thoughts:

A great ROH at an hour and 20 minutes, and even the matches I skipped ended up being a lot of fun to watch. Great comedic stuff in Cutler & Cabana winning, with Cutler showing off how cut he is under the tracksuit. And there was a great mix of comedy and meaty men slapping meat in Uno VS JD Drake, with a great win for Uno in his home country of Canada. KPK got a great showing here but that added to the quality of the win for Top Flight. And good win for Maria Kanellis’ boys but there was no story advancement with Spanish Announce Project so that was pointless.

Great opening stuff with Athena, in that she dominated Nikita but then got run off by Shida. Shida had a good promo though I wouldn’t have waited until right before the main event to play it. As I said before, Athena VS Shida is going to be great stuff, and this could be the moment for Athena to lose and then move on to AEW to get in on those titles. There was a great video recap package to hype Billie Starkz VS Queen Aminata, but nothing from those two directly. Diamante VS Kiera was really good, and it was logical for Kiera to win since Diamante won their previous 1v1 match. This doesn’t automatically make Kiera the #1 contender to the Women’s TV title, but she’s in the conversation.

Great match from Castle and Comoroto, and honestly, Comoroto looks good clean shaven. Good win for Castle, and of course Johnny & Taya beat him down to add to his misery. I still want savage, feral Boys to return to help Castle get revenge on Johnny & Taya, though. And awesome main event for the men’s TV title. Blake looked great even in defeat, but uh, what happened to Ethan Page? Another dropped ball in the ROH TV title division and Lee Johnson gets to run with it now. Kyle is more than likely defeating Lee at Supercard, but that really depends on what part he’s going to play in Ospreay’s story within the Don Callis Family.

My Score: 8.7/10
