PLAY BY PLAY

A-Kid & Saxon Huxley VS Die Familie!

The Spanish Sensation and the Divine Beast of the Astral Plane certainly make an odd duo, but there is a fine line between genius and insanity. Will these two therefore make the perfect combination to take on Rohan Raja & Charlie Dempsey? Or will Teoman’s presence ringside make all the difference?

The teams sort out and Dempsey starts against AK. They circle, feel things out and knuckle lock. AK rolls back, trips Dempsey, then has the toehold.

Winners: Die Familie, by pinfall

The Babo didn’t let his brothers in arms down, and he made sure they won out! Will these three do whatever it takes to take over NXT UK?

 

NXT UK Media catches up with Amale.

What are her thoughts on tonight’s big title match? Meiko VS Isla is going to be very interesting. But then Xia Brookside swoops in and greets Amale in French. Sorry for interrupting but she had a great idea. They should have a rematch! Amale is right, she is inspiring, and they could both learn so much from each other. So what does Amale say? Amale says she’ll see what she can do, and then says something in French, and Xia says she’s so excited, too! Amale heads out, Xia says thanks, and the reporters want to ask Xia some questions, but she tells them no, they need to go away, she is busy.

But then the camera spies on Xia making a phone call around the corner. “Hey, Daddy. It’s time.” What is Xia planning? And just how bad will it be for the French Hope?

 

Wild Boar VS Tyson T-Bone w/ Symbiosis!

Eddie Dennis shrewdly convinced Sid Scala to pit his minions against the returning Wild Boar before they ever face off in the ring. Will Wild Boar get through T-Bone to then take on Primate and be that much closer to vengeance?

Boar’s music hits and Symbiosis watches the ramp closely. But to their surprise, Boar rushes in from the crowd side! Dennis runs away, Boar dodges Primate and ROCKS T-Bone! Boar hits Primate, too, then fires off on T-Bone! T-Bone pushes Boar away and bails out, and fans are fired up for “BOAR! BOAR! BOAR!” Symbiosis regroups, Dennis tells Boar to stay back, and he even uses Primate as a shield! T-Bone gets in the ring, the bell rings and T-Bone says to focus on him!

Dennis tells T-Bone to get Boar, but Boar headbutts back! And drops a SENTON! Fans rally up for Boar while T-Bone bails out. Primate stays as Dennis’ shield while Boar slides out of the ring. Boar glares at Dennis, but T-Bone CLOBBERS Boar from behind! T-Bone RAMS Boar into barriers, then drags him up and into the ring. Dennis coaches T-Bone, and T-Bone gets in, but Boar is right after him! T-Bone blocks the kick, puts that leg on ropes and KICKS it!

Boar clutches the leg, as that was the injured leg that kept him out of action for so long. T-Bone BOOTS Boar down, then drags Boar up to CLUB and KICK!

Winner: Wild Boar, by pinfall

Dennis runs for the hills! Boar pursues, the hunt has only just begun! Primate tries to get T-Bone back up so they can hurry and help Dennis, but will the Wild Boar catch his prey?

 

Ilja Dragunov speaks.

“Roderick Strong. Strong. That’s a word that I really admire. Because that’s what I needed to be since my very first day in NXT UK. This is the way how I became Unbesiegbar, and the way I became NXT UK Champion. Roderick, we both have the same mindset. We know that diamonds are made under pressure, and I’m sure there’s no one out there who can put me under pressure the same way as you do. It will be my honor to collide with you in the ring. But the Czar is a diamond who doesn’t crack under pressure.” The challenge has been answered, and in two weeks, we will surely Dragunov and Strong collide in an NXT UK Championship instant classic!

 

NXT UK Media catches up with Kenny Williams.

But the Scum of the Earth seems oddly jittery right now as he tells them to call him later. He doesn’t have time for this, he can’t find his car keys. And when he gets outside, he sees his car all opened up and a mess. This is what he figured. Good jokes. Here’s the keys. But now he needs to find his tires… Someone is messing with him, and he will find out who! Then they will pay for this. A car horn spooks Kenny, and the reporter asks if this might have to do with that note in his locker from last week. Kenny tells them to get out of his face. But will this person pranking Kenny continue to get under his skin?

 

Jordan Devlin VS Danny Jones!

The Irish Ace wants to get back to his former glory, but that means getting back to a title. Will Devlin use Raving Danny Jones as a stepping stone towards that goal?

The bell rings and they circle. Fans duel, and that annoys Devlin. He and Jones knuckle lock, but then Devlin kicks low and throws haymakers! Jones CHOPS back and sends Devlin staggering! Devlin CHOPS back, fires forearms, then CHOPS again! Jones sits down and Devlin rains down forearms! Devlin gets Jones up, whips, and CLOBBERS him with an elbow! Devlin JAMS his knee into Jones, then CHOPS him again! Devlin bumps Jones off buckles, throws more forearms then stomps him down. Jones turns it around to CHOP and CHOP and stomp a mudhole! Fans fire up for Jones but Devlin kicks back.

Devlin KNEES Jones down, then looms over him. Devlin brings Jones up to ROCK with a forearm, then ROCK him again. But Jones roars and CHOPS, then EuroUppers. Jones clinches but Devlin throws body shots. Devlin headlocks and grinds Jones, but Jones throws body shots back. Jones powers out, things speed up, but Devlin ducks, rolls, hurdles and drops, to then kitchen sink knee Jones hard! Fans boo as Devlin snarls and Jones writhes. Devlin stands on Jones’ head, taunts the fans taunting him, then he YANKS Jones’ arm! Fans rally up, Devlin drags Jones back up to short arm LARIAT! Cover, TWO!

Jones is still in this but Devlin shakes his head. Devlin kicks Jones but Jones throws a body shot! And another, and another! Jones fires off, throws big forearms, and fans rally up behind him! But Devlin blocks to DECK Jones! Devlin drags Jones up, ROCKS him again, then eggs Jones on. Devlin SLAPS Jones, “What you got?” Jones stands up but Devlin throws a forearm. Jones is snarling and he ROCKS Devlin back, then DECKS him! And then spins Devlin around to wrench and hammerlock, to a SLEEPER! Ripcord, ENZIGURI! Devlin staggers and fans are fired up for Jones! Jones runs in, SHINING WIZARD, to EXPLODER! Cover, TWO!

Fans fire up as Jones looms over Devlin. Jones clamps on a SLEEPER! Devlin endures, pries at the hold, but Jones turns around to throw Devlin over his back! And into a double chicken wing cradle! TWO!! Devlin goes to the corner, and he slips out as Jones runs in! Jones’ knee hits buckles, and then Devlin SLINGSHOT CUTTERS! Fans boo but Devlin gives thumbs down. Devlin drags Jones up, BRAINBUSTER! Cover, Devlin wins!

Winner: Jordan Devlin, by pinfall

Jones showed the fire of a Welsh dragon, but Devlin extinguished that fire! He then has the camera come closer to tell us a secret. “It’s a badly kept secret. I am so far ahead of this roster, they couldn’t see my arse if they had a set of binoculars. I don’t care who’s running around with the title. There is only one ace, and you’re looking at him!” Devlin says everyone knows it, but will he run into someone who can prove him wrong?

 

NXT UK hears from Moustache Mountain and the hottest tag team under the sun.

Trent Seven tells Ashton Smith that in their first-ever singles match against each other, Seven will ensure to win for Moustache Mountain. They will not have two losses in a row. But Oliver Carter says he got Tyler Bate, and y’know what? Ashton will get Trent, too. Ashton says it is his time. Trent will be desperate, but these two have been preparing. They’ve been studying everything. And they know Trent knows that they have his number. This match will force Moustache Mountain to accept that Smith & Carter have earned a tag title rematch.

Trent is finding his inner Zen and chi thanks to Tyler Bate, he still isn’t sure where it all comes from, but it works. Trent will try and do anything he has to in order to keep the tag titles. But Ashton says there is no way Seven wins because this means that much to him! Ashton won’t let himself down, he won’t let Carter down, he will prove to everyone they deserve this opportunity. Moustache Mountain may have won but Smith & Carter picked themselves up, took a look around, and what did they say? Ready And Forward, Always Forward!

 

NXT UK previews the coming Heritage Cup Championship match.

Mark Coffey has known Noam Dar for over a decade, and Noam Dar hasn’t changed. He’s still overconfident. But Noam Dark says Mark confuses things. He isn’t cocky, he’s confident in the work he’s put in as champion. The work that Mark has seen live in person. Dar made target practice out of Wolfgang and pieced up big brother Joe. Mark says he doesn’t need to learn from his own mistakes, because he learns from other people’s. Twice now, Mark has seen how Dar operates. Dar says there are levels to this, and he’s at the tippy top. Now, the driver wants to step to him?

Oh, Mark’s just a driver now, is he? Well this driver will run Dar right over on route to claiming that cup! Mark hasn’t had a loss in singles matches, or had a loss in British Rounds matches. So Mark isn’t letting this slip away. Dar says congrats, this is it. This is as big as Markus is gonna get. So enjoy it. Dar will hit him with that toxic left foot and it’ll be over. Will the Scottish Supernova complete the sweep on Gallus? Or will this Gallus Boy be on top?

 

NXT UK Women’s Championship: Meiko Satomura VS Isla Dawn!

The Final Boss has been unstoppable since coming to NXT UK, but the Wicked Witch of Scotland has built up momentum by taking treasures from her targets. Then Isla seemed to get even stronger when she let them all go. Will Isla become THE unstoppable force in NXT UK? Or will Meiko still be the Best in the World?

The introductions are made, the belt is raised, and the two circle. Isla pie faces Meiko, then pie faces her again. But Meiko blocks the punch to fire off forearms and kicks! Meiko KICKS and forearms Isla against ropes, but Isla slips through to get a dragon sleeper in the ropes! The ref reprimands and counts, Isla lets go at 4. Isla laughs while fans boo. Isla CLUBS Meiko on the back, snapmares and uppercuts her in the back! Fans rally up, Isla runs but Meiko ducks the kick. Meiko grabs a leg but Isla kicks her away. Isla boots but Meiko blocks it! Meiko ROCKS Isla and uppercuts! Isla ducks the buzzsaw but not the ENZIGURI!

Meiko kicks Isla down, drops elbows, then kicks her around. Fans rally as Meiko drops an elbow. Cover, TWO! Meiko drags Isla up but Isla RAMS her into a corner! Isla digs her forearms in, but Meiko turns it around to give those back! The ref counts, Meiko lets off to ROUNDHOUSE Isla!

Isla stomps Meiko, drags her up and throws her into barriers. Isla KNEES Meiko against the barriers, then puts Meiko in the ring at 6 of 10. Cover, TWO!

Isla talks to herself or whatever spirits she hears, and she drops an elbow! Isla gets in Meiko’s face, pie faces her down, then CLUBS her! Isla KNEES Meiko in the back and digs it in before clamping on the chinlock! Meiko endures, kicks forward, grabs at Isla but Isla shrugs her off. Isla JAMS her knee in again while fans rally up. Meiko fights up, pries the hold apart, and she back elbows. Isla PUMP KNEES Meiko down! Isla runs to stomp Meiko down! And then she KNEES Meiko in the side! Fans rally but Isla hits a METEORA! Cover, TWO! Meiko survives and Isla is furious! Fans rally as Meiko grits her teeth.

Isla drags Meiko up, but Meiko elbows away the back suplex! Isla ROCKS Meiko, reels her in, but Meiko throws knees! Meiko ROCKS Isla, Isla ROCKS Meiko!

Meiko is against ropes, Isla storms up and whips her, only for Meiko to WHEEL KICK! Isla stays up, Meiko ROUNDHOUSES her down! Fans rally and Meiko drags Isla up to reel her in. SAIDO! Cover, TWO!!

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

Isla can’t believe it! Her powers were still not enough to overcome the Final Boss! But Isla still wants the belt! She and the ref tug-o-war over it, and Isla gets the belt! Meiko gets mad now as Isla clutches to the title she doesn’t rightfully own! Isla escapes through the crowd and into the shadows of the night! Will Meiko have to beat Isla down again to get that belt back?


My Thoughts:

A very good episode for NXT UK, but a bit of mildly disappointing news. It’s great that we’re getting Dragunov VS Strong for the NXT UK Championship, but I wish it was going to be at Stand & Deliver and not just a post WrestleMania episode. But at the same time, if Strong isn’t winning the title, I suppose it’s best to have that match here on NXT UK. Strong is of course over there as of these tapings, it’s more efficient to get that match done instead of having Dragunov fly to the States again just for the one night. But it doesn’t even sound like NXT UK is planning Prelude 2022, just having big matches on whatever episodes to make them into big episodes.

We got great promo stuff hyping up next week. Seven, Smith and Carter all had good stuff going into Seven VS Smith. As I said last week, that match could go either way, and we’d still get a tag title match for post-Mania. Seven wins, they’re tied, the title match is the tiebreaker. Smith wins, well then he and Carter went 2-0 and of course they get the title match. Either way, it’ll all be great, and we’ll see a great tag title match. Mark Coffey and Noam Dar had a good promo, they’re going to have a very good Heritage Cup match, and I could see it going either way, but they might keep the cup with Dar since he’s doing such great work.

Xia is getting her tiebreaker with Amale, and it sounds like Robbie Brookside’s friend is going to arrive to coincide with that. Chances are, that friend is the reason Xia wins, and it becomes the classic Heel wrestler & manager duo story for Xia for the next stretch of programming. And Kenny Williams has someone messing with him now, but I’m surprised he isn’t assuming this is Sam Gradwell. Maybe Gradwell isn’t quite so sneaky, so could it be… Amir Jordan? Is he going to return after Kenny banished him from NXT UK with that blow-off win a year ago? That would be pretty clever.

A-Kid & Saxon VS Die Familie was a good match, fans really love Saxon, but of course Teoman helps his guys win. Maybe A-Kid is heading to Stand & Deliver through next week’s Triple Threat match on NXT, and maybe he’ll be there full-time after this since he’s clearly just midcard fodder in NXT UK now. Wild Boar got a really good return match against T-Bone, and of course he wins. He’ll surely have the same against Primate, and then he surely gets his shot at Dennis, only to be cheated. And if the timing is right, maybe Subculture can return, Andrews & Webster have beef with Symbiosis still, and they can make amends with Boar.

Devlin got a really good match out of Danny Jones, and his promo essentially calling out everyone on the roster is a sign that he’ll end up with a big match in the coming weeks to go with the WrestleMania season. No idea who, but I bet it’ll be awesome, and probably a big win for that person. And then we got a great, pretty fast and aggressive NXT UK Women’s Championship match, great stuff from both Meiko and Isla. It was a bit obvious most of the crowd noise was BT Sports Studio pretending to be ThunderDome, as many shots of the crowd were just bored faces. There was a corner of the crowd that actually was into this, as they should be. Meiko wins, of course, but good twist that Isla literally steals the title. Meiko will definitely have to give Isla another match, and I’m sure Meiko wins again.

My Score: 8.6/10

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
