PLAY BY PLAY

Flash Morgan Webster VS Rampage Brown!

The Modfather tried to play his usual games but Rampage wasn’t having it. Will Rampage slap some sense into FMW in the ring? Or will Webster’s tricks pay off with a huge win?

The bell rings and the two circle. They tie up, Rampage powers FMW to the corner. The ref counts, Rampage lets off at 2 with a pat on FMW’s head. FMW keeps cool, circles with Rampage and ties up again, but Rampage shoves him down this time. FMW gets up, circles around Rampage, and they tie up. Rampage puts FMW back in a corner, then TOSSES him across the ring! FMW bails out to cool off and fans sing for him. FMW fires up and gets in to SLAP Rampage! Rampage blocks the punch to shove FMW to a corner! FMW dodges to CHOP and forearm! Rampage blocks the whip and throws him into the corner! FMW boots but Rampage blocks, only for FMW to KICK him away!

Rampage swings but FMW boots the clothesline to ENZIGURI Rampage out of the ring! FMW waits on Rampage as he paces around now. Rampage slides in, FMW ducks to headlock. Rampage back suplexes, FMW lands on his feet and waistlocks but Rampage bucks him. Things speed up, FMW hurdles once but gets caught for a SPINEBUSTER the second time! Rampage snarls then POUNCES FMW into a corner! Fans duel, Rampage drags FMW up and CLUBS him on the back! Rampage drags FMW up to then suplex and TOSS FMW across the way! Rampage eggs FMW on, then brings him back up. Rampage trophy lifts for a SLAM!

FMW rolls to the apron, Rampage storms over and drags FMW back in. Rampage says, “You wanna fight with the big boys, huh?” BIG SAIDO!! FMW is dazed face down in the mat but Rampage stands over him. Rampage tries to get FMW up but he’s deadweight. Rampage powers up to gut wrench and swing, but FMW slips into a GUILLOTINE! FMW might’ve been playing possum! Rampage RAMS FMW into buckles and gets free! Rampage runs in but FMW goes up and over and flounders away. Fans rally up, Rampage scoops and swings FMW but FMW uses that to hit a KNEE SMASH, then HEADBUTTS! Rampage staggers to a corner, FMW runs in to dropkick Rampage down!

Rampage flounders now, FMW staggers after! FMW reels Rampage in, underhooks, but Rampage dumps FMW to the apron! FMW GAMANGIRIS back! FMW climbs, leaps, and hits a FLYING RANA! Rampage bails out of the ring but FMW builds speed to DIVE! But the Low-pe is caught and Rampage gets FMW up onto his shoulder! But FMW slips off to POST Rampage! And gets back in the ring to DIVE again! TOPE TORNADO DDT!! Fans fire up for “NXT! NXT!” as both men crash down! FMW gets in at the count of 6, but Rampage is up at 8, and in at 9! FMW is up top quickly to SWANTON BOMB onto Rampage’s back! Cover, TWO!! Rampage survives #ShadowsOverMalice!

Fans rally and FMW fires off forearms and CHOPS and haymakers! Rampage shoves him away but FMW comes back with a KNEE! FMW rains down elbows, brings Rampage up and SLAPS him! FMW runs, into a LARIAT!! Rampage gut wrench deadlifts for the DOCTOR BOMB!! Cover, Rampage wins!

Winner: Rampage Brown, by pinfall

What a fight! The Modfather was definitely game, but he just couldn’t withstand Rampage’s A-Game! FMW still grins and Rampage gives him a nod of respect. Will FMW be more careful the next time he tries to play around? Will this win lead Rampage to a big opportunity in is own right?

 

NXT UK Media caught up with Tyler Bate.

They ask him his thoughts on the accidental way he lost the Heritage Cup last week. Bate says he just wants to get his Zen on, but Trent Seven finds him and wants to apologize about the mishap. Bate says it happened and he forgives Seven. Seven thanks Bate and hugs it out. But on a more positive note. Seven talked with Johnny Saint, and he has allowed Moustache Mountain to sneak right into what was the Triple Threat #1 Contenders match, and it is now a Fatal 4 Way! So he- er, they can get back on track, and Moustache Mountain can finally become NXT UK Tag Team Championships. Bate likes the sound of that, and they head out together. Will everything be right for the Big Strong Boy and Artful Dodger soon enough?

 

NXT UK Media interviews Sid Scala.

Tonight’s a big main event, is he excited? Absolutely! Meiko VS Jinny for the NXT UK Women’s Championship- But before he can expound on that, Xia Brookside walks in and she asks to face the winner of tonight’s title match. Sid isn’t sure how to say this. But her recent matches haven’t really- But Meiko said the women have to step up and take their opportunities, and that’s what she’s doing! He appreciates that, but there is a long list of other- BUT THAT’S NOT FAIR! And then she goes to her phone? She’s making a call… To her dad! She’s complaining to Robbie Brookside about this?! Is Xia turning into NXT UK’s Veruca Salt?

 

Isla Dawn VS Angel Hayze!

Eye of newt and a dead man’s thumb, something wicked this way comes! But the Wicked Witch is still gathering power, will she clip a debuting Angel’s wings to grow even stronger?

The bell rings and Dawn circles with Hayze. They tie up, Dawn uses a wrist in Hayze’s face to put her on the ropes, then she lets off as the ref counts. Hayze comes back, Dawn dodges and then ROUNDHOUSES her right down! Dawn drags Hayze up, whips but Hayze sunset flips! Dawn stays up but Hayze avoids the fist drop! Hayze throws hands, whips, but Dawn reverses to put her in a corner. Dawn runs in, Hayze goes up and around to roll up, TWO! Hayze runs in again but the crossbody is caught for a POWERSLAM! Dead lift and a wicked grin before the FALL AWAY SLAM! Dawn laughs and she STOMPS Hayze to a corner.

Dawn CLUBS Hayze on the top of her head, drags her up and bumps her off buckles. Dawn kicks Hayze, the ref reprimands, Dawn pushes Hayze in and KICK again! Dawn CLUBS Hayze, fans rally up, and she SNAP SAIDOS Hayze right down! Hayze writhes, Dawn slithers up, and Dawn pulls hair as she bends Hayze back! The ref has had it, and he calls it!

Winner: Angel Hayze, by disqualification

Not quite how a debuting star wants to win, and certainly not how Dawn wants to lose! Dawn drags Hayze up, fireman’s carries, and SWINGING SIDEWALK SLAM! Dawn grins and Hayze crawls away. Will Dawn gather more and more power until she’s undeniable?

 

A-Kid is all the rage back home.

Despite his loss, the incredible showing he had truly solidified young Carlos Ruiz as the Spanish Sensation. But Sam Gradwell watches all the media coverage and is annoyed. Has anyone else seen this? “Flashy little Spanish boy getting all the attention. Is it supposed to be impressive? I’ve been to Spain. It’s too hot, my phone got nicked.” That means “stolen” in UK slang. But if you want to see a real competitor, the Thunderstorm, Sam Gradwell, is right here. Will Gradwell try and rain on A-Kid’s parade?

 

Subculture regroups backstage.

Mark Andrews and Dani Luna are a bit concerned just looking at the welts on Webster’s back. This is getting kinda dangerous. NXT UK Media ask if FMW is okay after that match. Surprisingly, yes. He knows his team is concerned, but there was a moment where there was doubt. FMW is sure he’s close to a breakthrough to the next level. But Stevie Turner walks in and says, “Next level? The only thing that’s next level around here is Stevie Turner. Look at me, and look at you.” She wouldn’t expect any of them to understand what it is to be Four Dimensional, so she’ll tell them: Two levels above and two steps ahead of Andrews, Webster and especially Dani.

Dani says Stevie can two-step all she wants, all Dani needs is three seconds. Stevie smirks and leaves, and Andrews tells Webster to look after himself more. Will the Modfather take it easier from now on?

 

Ilja Dragunov is here!

Fans cheer to see their NXT UK Champion back in BT Sports Studio! He goes to the ring and gets a mic to speak, but takes a moment to embrace the fans chanting, “Unbesiegbar!” Dragunov says, “I am the champion. I’m YOUR NXT UK Champion!” Fans cheer for that one. “And I wish words could express the feeling of coming from being completely, entirely destroyed, to the point of overcoming something that nobody expected me to overcome!” Fans chant for him again, and he continues to say that this feeling of just coming home, giving his son a kiss and seeing his smile, because he realized that his father is a champion now, this feeling of getting rid of the self-doubts that he had, just as everyone else does, and the feeling to know that he was right all the time, no weakness is relevant if you put everything you have into your strength!

“And now… Now I’m the face, I’m the will, I’m the spirit of all of you! And I’m ready to put this brand on another level!” Fans like the sound of that, too! Dragunov knows all he has to do to do that, he has to step into this ring and fight like his whole entire life depends on it! But that means next level competitors. “Thank you, A-Kid, because that’s exactly what you are. You pushed me. You left me no air to breath. You forced me to deliver my very, very best. What a first title defense that was!” And Dragunov can’t watt for the next. His will is always hungry. “Long live the Czar!” But wait! Here comes Rampage Brown! Seems his match with FMW wasn’t enough!

Rampage has a mic and gets in the ring with Dragunov. “Ilja, you are the man right now. You beat Walter, you took A-Kid to his limits. But me and you. We’ve got some unfinished business. I would love to be the next man to fight you for that title.” Fans like the sound of that, and Dragunov says, “Y’know, Rampage. You are not the first giant tried to take me down. You’re no bigger than the last one. But I respect you. And to fight you sounds like a great idea to me.” Dragunov offers a handshake, Rampage takes in, then he reels Dragunov in for a LARIAT! Rampage doesn’t need his respect, just his title. Rampage has just fired the first shot, will Dragunov make sure to shoot the last one?

 

Meiko Satomura and Emilia McKenzie head to gorilla.

But on the way, they already cross paths with Jinny and Joseph Conners. Jinny tells Satomura, “Enjoy your last night of being The Final Boss.” But then Blair Davenport walks in and wishes them both luck. And just so you know, it doesn’t matter who wins this match, because she’s back, and you’re all on notice. “See you later. Have fun!” Will the champion still be the champion to then worry about the gothic terror?

 

Rohan Raja sits with Teoman.

He asks The Babo what he thinks about Gallus. Teoman says, “Believe it or not, but I’m starting to look forward to our fight.” Raja says he is, too. But what’s funny is, they’re calling this Family VS Family. They both laugh, because they are family. Gallus is not. Teoman feels sorry for them. But in all seriousness, what about Joe? What about Joe? Do not worry about him. The Eye is always watching. Does Teoman have a way of thwarting the Iron King?

 

NXT UK Media catches up with Nathan Frazer.

They’ve seen him watching a lot of matches, what is he doing exactly? It’s tape study, mate. Watching Mark Andrews’ matches, and watch that. The standing backflip 450? Like, what? Though, Frazer’s pretty sure he could pull that off. Subculture walks in and they see him watching Andrews’ match. Learning from the best, huh? Yeah, but also kinda scouting. Frazer would love to test himself against one of the best. Well Andrews is up for it whenever he is. Frazer’s excited to hear that, and now tape study is over. On to talking to Mr. Saint! Who wins between two of the highest flying high flyers?

 

NXT UK Women’s Championship: Meiko Satomura VS Jinny w/ Joseph Conners!

The Final Boss was the one to finally dethrone the Scary Queen of Scots, and has defeated a handful of challengers so far. She and the Spoiled Princess crossed paths in the gauntlet match that would lead Meiko to the title, but can she win again when both women are 100%?

The introductions are made, the belt is raised, and once again, someone tries to be the new Best in the World!

Meiko and Jinny circle, tie up, and the two are in a deadlock, but Jinny manages to push Meiko back a step at a time. They end up on the ropes, Jinny lets off but Meiko ducks her clothesline! Meiko KICKS Jinny in the leg but Jinny walks it off. They tie up again, Jinny again powers Meiko back but Meiko turns it around. Meiko lets off, but then KICKS and KICKS the leg! They tie up a third time, fans sing “Meiko’s gonna kill~ you!” as she gets around to hammerlock. Meiko uses that to wrangle Jinny down and then she drops a knee onto that arm. Jinny fights up, elbows back, spins through and wrenches Meiko’s arm to YANK it!

Jinny has a wristlock, Meiko rolls to club Jinny’s leg then wrenches to a wristlock of her own. Meiko KICKS the leg, then rolls to WRING Jinny’s arm! Meiko gets the arm again but Jinny fights up and pulls hair. The ref reprimands, Jinny uses a chinbar to wrangle Meiko down and then she goes after an arm. Jinny twists the wrist and claws all the way to the elbow! The ref reprimands, Jinny shifts to a cording hold. Meiko endures, Jinny wrenches the arm more, but fans rally up. Meiko fights up, Jinny throws her down by her hair, then YANKS the arm back! Conners likes that but Millie coaches her mentor up. Jinny WRINGS the arm out again, covers, ONE!

Jinny clamps on with a facelock but Meiko fights up to put her in a corner. The ref counts the break, Meiko KICKS and ROCKS Jinny, then hits a headlock  “cross button” takedown! Fans rally, Jinny headscissors, but Meiko holds onto the headlock! Jinny pulls back as hard as she can and gets free of the headlock, and then squeezes tight. Meiko bridges up but Jinny CLUBS her in the chest! Meiko fights up and around, Jinny tries to keep her down but Meiko pops out and now has Jinny’s legs caught for a Butterfly Stretch! Jinny throws a forearm but Meiko CLUBS her in return! Meiko shoves Jinny down then pushes on the legs. Jinny sits up to throw a forearm but Meiko hits back!

Jinny throws another forearm, then uses a facelock to throw Meiko up and over! Cover, TWO! Jinny gets an arm and wants a double wristlock but Meiko gets to ropes. Jinny wraps the arm around the ropes to throw knees and a SLAP! Jinny eggs Meiko on so Meiko fires back with forearms and kicks! Meiko KICKS Jinny in the side, and again, but Jinny blocks one to a DRAGON SCREW! Conners is there to talk trash, “How’s that feel?!” Meiko tells him to shut it, then she DECKS Jinny! Jinny kicks Meiko’s bad leg then reels her in for a LARIAT! Cover, TWO! Millie and the fans rally for Meiko but Jinny stomps away on the bad leg.

Jinny gets the leg and works to turn Meiko over but Meiko resists! Meiko kicks with her free leg and Jinny staggers away. Jinny swings but into a wrench and wristlock. Meiko KICKS then sweeps the leg! KNEE DROP! Cover, TWO! Meiko drops down to a CROSSFACE! Jinny endures, gets her arm free, fights up, but Meiko holds on. Jinny RAMS Meiko into buckles, then isolates the bad leg to go after it! Jinny kicks the leg out, drags Meiko back up and whips her corner to corner. Jinny runs in but into a BOOT! Meiko manages to go up the corner and leaps, but Jinny ROCKS her out of the air with a forearm! Cover, TWO!

Jinny drags Meiko by the bad leg, GROUND DRAGON SCREW! Jinny SLAMS the bad leg, Meiko kicks back, but Jinny stomps her down. Jinny has the leg again, HALF CRAB! Meiko endures and keeps moving to keep Jinny from sitting, but Jinny drags her away from ropes! Meiko rolls through and kicks Jinny away! Fans rally, Jinny storms over and throws a forearm. And KICKS the bad leg! Jinny eggs Meiko on as she KICKS again. And even SLAPS Meiko! Meiko SLAPS Jinny back! And again! And from all sides! And then KICKS away on the leg, and throws forearms! Meiko fires up, so do the fans! Jinny reverses the whip but gets a WHEEL KICK for it!

Meiko hobbles up, Jinny sits up, Meiko KICKS her down! Jinny flounders up and Meiko KICKS her again! Conners coaches Jinny, Jinny eggs Meiko on and Meiko KICKS her again! Meiko runs, HANDSPRING KICK!

Meiko lets go, gets her bad leg moving, and waistlocks. Jinny holds the rope so Meiko KICKS the arm! Conners gets on the apron but Millie gets up there to APRON CUTTER!! But Jinny kicks Meiko, ripcord and LIGER KICK! Cover, TWO!?!?

Meiko survives and Jinny is furious! Jinny drags Meiko up, ripcords again but Meiko elbows free to PELE! Jinny staggers into Meiko’s fireman’s carry and DEATH VALLEY DRIVER! Cover, TWO!! Jinny is still in this but Millie is as fired up as Meiko! “This is Awesome!” as Meiko aims from the corner! SCORPIO RISING!! Meiko isn’t done there, she fireman’s carries for another DEATH VALLEY DRIVER! Cover, Meiko wins!

Winner: Meiko Satomura, by pinfall (still NXT UK Women’s Champion)

And that is why she’s the Final Boss! As tough as the Fashionista fought, there’s still that much more inside Meiko Satomura! Is there anyone in NXT UK that can ever hope to defeat the Best in the World?


My Thoughts:

A great episode for NXT UK and a lot of great stuff set up for the coming weeks. Rampage Brown has a great opening match with Webster, and I like that this is feeding into a story for Subculture where FMW is being rather reckless and they’re just worried about him. Meanwhile, Dragunov has a good promo, and Rampage steps to him for a challenge. That is going to be a really good match and another great win for Dragunov’s reign. As for A-Kid, clearly Gradwell wants after him, that’ll be a really good match, too. Andrews VS Frazer is going to be really good, really exciting, a lot of innovative moves to be sure.

I like that there was a bit of anxiety in Seven’s behavior when talking with Bate. He wants Bate to be okay with him before they both go for the tag titles again because it seems to be the one thing Seven knows he can get, because he doesn’t have to do it all by himself. I would definitely want to see that but because it’s a Fatal 4 Way tag, I feel like they’ll end up be away from the decision. I don’t want Bate VS Seven but I feel like that’s where they’re steering this. With this week’s promo, not only is Xia Brookside turning Heel, she’s going to be the spoiled second gen superstar she tried not to be, and I think she could really pull it off.

Teoman and Raja did good with their promo, but I feel like they were mistaken. Gallus is more of family since Joe and Mark are brothers. But clearly, the third member of Teoman’s group is going to debut very soon, still no idea who it’ll be. Dawn VS Hayze was really good, just on how Dawn ended up losing because of disqualification. Much like how it felt like Bray Wyatt/The Fiend was getting stronger in losing, I feel like they’re doing that with Dawn here. She’ll oddly get to a level where she can defeat just about anyone, despite what her record shows, and she could end up giving Meiko one hell of a match.

Stevie Turner clearly set up a match with Dani Luna, and Blair is somehow going to be next for the title. And speaking of one hell of a match, Jinny gave Meiko one here tonight. I feel like Jinny is in one of those spots where the only reason she’s not champion is because they have these other big stars on the roster. But Meiko moving on past her means moving on to Blair, maybe having Dawn lurking in the background. No idea who wins the title off Meiko.  Maybe Xia’s build towards that starts here, she can be the whiniest, weaseliest Heel and she cheats all over the place to screw Meiko out of the title.

My Score: 8.6/10

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
