Dragon Gate The Gate of Victory Results & Review (10/2/2018)
Welcome back to Dragon Gate and this is the second to last show before Shingo’s departure in a couple days, so I decided to cover whatever the network decides to air until his departure meaning this one and the next one.
We have a special appearance in this show that I’m sure most of you know at this point and I will get to it when the actual match happens.
Let’s see how this show turns out and…dive right in.
Six Man Tag Team Match
Hiroshi Yamato, Kota Minoura & Mondai Ryu vs. Natural Vibes (Kzy, Susumu Yokosuka & YASSHI)
Review: We got half of Natural Vibes opening up the show today after losing to R.E.D at the elimination tag match as Kzy, Susumu, and YASSHI will be taking on Hiroshi Yamato, Kota Minoura, and Mondai Ryu to give the fans an entertaining match to start the show. Will Natural Vibes win?
We had Hiroshi Yamato singing during his entrance, wasn’t bad. The match was mostly entertaining with Natural Vibes doing their dancing around along with their tag moves together in the match and a little comedic encounter between Yamato and Kzy when she held hands and did that dance until Yamato accidentally hits Kzy in the head. The other team didn’t do too bad either since it was just some random people paired off together which happens during the undercard of the show. Other than that, nothing really big happens here since it’s just a regular tag match. Kota Minoura would start to get some momentum over Kzy until Kzy tried to do his Running Elbow Smash, which got reversed into a flash pin but Kzy kicked out of it. Kzy would be able to pick him up for a Piledriver as Kota kicked out of it and picked him up again for the Running Elbow Smash and Natural Vibes gets the win.

Tag Team Match
Gamma & Genki Horiguchi vs. Don Fujii & Ryo Saito
Review: We got another tag match with Roy Saito and Don Fujii teaming up again as they take on Gamma and Natural Vibes member, Genki Horiguchi. Fujii and Saito are still trying to keep the ball rolling with this tag team and I still hope it leads to something for both of these guys. Will they win to get momentum or will the odd duo pull a victory out of nowhere?
It now looks like that Ryo is wearing Fujii’s gear so that they could match, think it makes sense if they’re gonna be a team. This match is just a straight-up comedy match and kinda felt like that was how it needed to go for this one with the people involved in this match. Gamma and Ryo would have a sumo type of match and even did the posing for it which Ryo would win and even Hip Toss Genki when he tried to run in. Genki would tie yellow tape to Ryo’s ear as Gamma would grab the other end of it to run around the hall, almost making it to the stairs as Fujii attacked Genki to make Gamma let go as well. Both Fujii and Ryo would do a neck twist to Genki and it looked like one of his braids fell off of his head and had to tag Gamma in as he tried to put Ryo in a submission till Fujii threw a water bottle at him. Both Fujii and Ryo would hit a Chokeslam on their opponents and Gamma took it horribly, like wow. Gamma would try to roll Ryo up but he pulled the back of her shorts down to have his bare ass out in the open and then the two would try to roll each other up with him still bare-assed as Ryo would get the final surprise pin for the victory.
Rating: Tony Schiavone and three quarters
Singles Match
KAI vs. Punch Tominaga
Review: It looks like KAI is set to have another match with Dragon Gate and I’m not sure if this is part of the tour or just doing another match or two, but I’ll take whatever I can get with him to see him wrestle. His next match is against Natural Vibes member, Punch Tominaga and feels like it could be a rather comedic but fun match. Which one of these two will win?
Punch would attack KAI on the outside to get the first advantage over him and he does appear to have him on the ropes for the beginning part of it. It was surprisingly pretty back and forth when they were fighting each other in the match since I expected it to be completely one-sided once Punch had his little fun in the beginning, but glad it wasn’t the case. KAI so far in this tour has had mediocre matches and not that they’re bad, but they’re just matches with nothing really standing out with them to make them memorable. The match was very short too, around six minutes as Punch would go for his Moonsault off the rope and misses and KAI would hit Punch with a Lariat for a two count. KAI would then bit a Brainbuster for another two count and picked him up for the Michinoku Driver and get the win.

Eight Man Tag Team Match
Hyo Watanabe, Masaaki Mochizuki, Shun Skywalker & Yuki Yoshioka vs. Tribe Vanguard (Kagetora, U-T, YAMATO & Yosuke Santa Maria)
Review: We got our first and only eight-man tag match for the show as Tribe Vanguard takes on Masaaki Mochizuki’s team and he kinda does have a unit with people like Yuki, Shun, and Hyo but they’re not an official unit and don’t have a name. Will Mochizuki and Shun get revenge on YAMATO or Tribe Vanguard wins this?
All eight of these men delivered in this match with them giving us fast-paced action throughout the entire match with both teams going back and forth, hitting their moves out of nowhere whenever someone else breaks out of a pin or hits a move of their own. Tribe Vanguard were more consistent with their maneuvers due to them being a well-established stable in this match and I gotta give it up for U-T and Kagetora for being the highlights of the match since both of these guys just did great and stood out more in the match, but doesn’t take away from guys like YAMATO and Yosuke.
Mochizuki’s team would also match up with them as Shun would once again deliver in the match and so did the other guys in the match to show that they very well could be a future unit in Dragon Gate if they’re serious about being one or they’ll just keep teaming and doing solo stuff without forming a unit, that’s all up to them. When I talk about the non-stop action of the match, U-T would have someone in a Kneebar and once it was broken up, Kagetora would hit a Diving Elbow Drop out of nowhere. Mochizuki would be in a hold and Shun would try to Moonsault off the top ropes, but was being held onto by Tribe Vanguard and Yuki out of nowhere would hit the Standing Moonsault while they were too focused on Shun. U-T and Hyo would be in the ring now and U-T would lock in Skayde hold onto Hyo to make him tap out as he gets the win for Tribe Vanguard!
Rating: Bruce Prichard and a quarter
Six Man Tag Team Match
MaxiMuM (Dragon Kid, Jason Lee & Kaito Ishida) vs. R.E.D. (KAZMA SAKAMOTO, Takashi Yoshida & Yasushi Kanda)
Review: We got a six-man tag match with MaxiMum going to war with R.E.D this time after having them assault MaxiMuM at the last show once the main event was over. We got Dragon Kid leading the charge this time with Jason Lee and Kaito Ishida as they take on Takashi Yoshida, Yasushi Kanda, and KAZMA SAKAMOTO. I do we get to see more for KAZMA here in this match but we will see what happens here. Which of these units will win?
I think it was kill Kaito Ishida on R.E.D’s agenda because he certainly took the majority of the beatings in this tag match. We got to see a little bit more of KAZMA in the match and he did a slightly better performance in this one compared to his return at the last show and could be a better powerhouse guy than Takashi if given the opportunity to. MaxiMuM were quick in this match due to relying on their agility since they took on the powerhouses of the R.E.D unit and Dragon Kid would mostly be the one to outmaneuver the opponents while Jason Lee would try to keep up, but they kept on getting overpowered.
Dragon Kid and Kaito would do a combo with Kid hitting the 619 while Kaito would hit a Dropkick at the same time and it would’ve been a really cool spot if they timed it up a little bit better in the match. Kaito would have Kanda sitting on his shoulders while they were both on the turnbuckle and Dragon Kid would jump the ropes to hit a Super Hurricanrana. KAZMA got back in the ring with Kaito and slammed him down as he signaled Takashi and Kanda to hit the Diving Elbow Drops onto him and Kid would break the hold. KAZMA would hit the Pop-up Powerbomb on Kaito and picked him up on his shoulders so Takashi would hit the Doomsday Device and top it off, Takashi picked him up for the Cyber Bomb and R.E.D wins it.

Tag Team Match
Big Ben (Ben-K & Big R Shimizu) vs. DoiYoshi (Masato Yoshino & Naruki Doi)
Review: So we officially have a date for the Open the Dream Gate Championship match between Masato Yoshino and Ben-K as it’s set to take place on November 4th at the show, The Gate of Destiny. For now, we got a tag match with Yoshino teaming up with Naruki Doi as they take on Ben-K and Big R Shimizu. I’m excited to see how this feud will turn out and this will be the first step to see where this direction will go. Will the champion win or will Ben get the early advantage?
Instead of R.E.D going in for the attack, DoiYoshi would attack them first before they got into the ring. I gotta make this comment before I continue further and I’m kinda disappointed with how they changed Ben’s look. I’m saying this because he originally looked like this shogun badass with his attire and now he just looks like a generic powerhouse with his change in appearance. I think he still could’ve kept the gear and just made it red, but with what they gave him now, I don’t like it personally but I still like him despite that. Moving on, seeing DoiYoshi teaming up together with just them was fun to see and they did pull off some sweet tag moves together which I will get to in a little bit. We’ve seen Big Ben wrestle as a team on here before and we know they’re good together despite Big R not being that good, to begin with, but them as a tag team works and we got a solid match between the two teams.
We had Naruki on the top rope Yoshino held Ben-K up for him to kick and as Naruki hits the Dropkick, he landed on Big R for the Senton at the same time and would get a two count out of it. Big R would go for the Shot-put Slam on Naruki and would turn it around to a Crucifix as Yoshino Dropkicked Big R to make Naruki land the pin for a two count. Big R would try to go for it again as Naruki would hit a Flash Pin for another two count and as Yoshino went for the Torbellino, Ben-K caught him for a Spear before he could land it all. Ben was also able to hit Naruki for a Spear and would kick out of it at two. Yoshino would hit the Torbellino this time and had Big R on his knees so Naruki would hit the Bakatare Sliding Kick and would pin Big R for the win. Yoshino would get the first win in this feud between him and Ben-K and it was a good way to start it off, but now we gotta see if they can keep the ball rolling here.
Rating: Eric Bischoff and three quarters
Tag Team Match
R.E.D. (Eita & X) vs. BxB Hulk & Shingo Takagi
Review: We got our main event here as Shingo Takagi and BxB Hulk are teaming up before their big match as they agreed and R.E.D weren’t very keen on that decision and told Shingo that Eita and a mystery partner will be facing them for this tag match. It looks like R.E.D will be having a new recruit after this match is over and it looks like Shingo is officially out of the group while Eita is in charge. Who is the mystery partner and can Shingo & Hulk defeat them?
I was right to say that Eita would be kicking out Shingo since that is exactly what he did before the bell would ring and as he introduced his partner, the lights would go off for a moment and when the lights go on, we have the return of PAC fka Neville. That’s right, PAC has returned to his home in Dragon Gate instead of going to the obvious places like NJPW/ROH and I’m glad he chose Dragon Gate since this is the best place for him right now. PAC still looks good like he never lost any of his muscle and now it’s time to see if he has any ring rust or not. Also, the reaction on Hulk’s face during this reveal was priceless.
There were two stories in this match and one of them was Shingo and R.E.D since he was out of the group and what R.E.D do to him during the entire match with these weapons was pretty much telling him karma was a bitch and this is what he’s getting back. The second story is PAC and the progression of his character and personality from when he left six years ago to when he came back with his new attitude and personality, I’m glad he kept his WWE look from when he was a heel since that was one of the bigger highlights of his career until the very end and would now try this new persona on a different playing field. As for the ring rust, he really didn’t have much almost as if he never lost a step, but it’s hard to tell due to it being a tag match. The match itself was very solid and it was mostly the story of it that carried the match than the actual wrestling of it and that’s kinda fair due to the atmosphere of the match. Shingo would hit the Pumping Bomber on both Eita and PAC for a two count and Kanda hits Shingo with the black box to distract him enough for Eita to pick it up. Eita went to hit him with it but Shingo caught the box and threw it outside but accidentally hits the referee when he bumped into him, which lead to R.E.D to come in for all of them to hit their moves on Shingo and Big R tops it off with the Shot-put Slam on him. PAC would get Shingo to the corner and hits the Red Arrow to give R.E.D the win.
After the match, YAMATO would get in the ring and told PAC that he wanted to fight him. MaxiMuM got into the ring next and they all talked about how they wanted to fight PAC now, and now Natural Vibes does the same thing and it looks like everyone wants a piece of PAC now since he’s back in Dragon Gate, but it looks like the four units will be having a war coming soon. Speaking of PAC, I wonder what title he’ll be going for? I wanna say Open the Dream Gate, but it all depends on if Ben-K can get it or not. If that’s the case, he could go for the Open the Brave Gate against Dragon Kid or he could team up with Eita to fight for the Open the Twin Gate titles. He has a lot of different options and curious to see which route he takes.
Rating: Bruce Prichard
Overall: The undercard of the match was really weak, but the last four matches made the show more tolerable and we have the return of PAC to close off the show as Shingo now has one match left before he departs from Dragon Gate. Will these changes be for the better or for worse? We’re gonna have to find out soon enough.
Favorite Match:Â Hyo Watanabe, Masaaki Mochizuki, Shun Skywalker & Yuki Yoshioka vs. Tribe Vanguard
Least Favorite Match:Â Hiroshi Yamato, Kota Minoura & Mondai Ryu vs. Natural Vibes
Score: 7.5/10

Andrew’s TNA iMPACT! Results & Match Ratings: 6.19.25
Are we going to start trending upwards with Slammiversary to build toward?
Last week’s episode was lacking in ring work but had decent story moments and segments. Starting the build to Slammiversary we can either launch nicely or things can always get worse. Jason Hotch and KC Navarro are the real shining stars of the last few months, so lets hope once they get over this Leon Slater idiot ship, they can push X Division wrestlers with actual talent for pro wrestling and not just flippy charisma vacuums.
Oh and let’s not forget, it is the episode they celebrate the 23rd anniversary of TNA! TWENTY – THREE!! Somewhere PCO hates this.
.@Kelly_WP is back in TNA Wrestling and has a message for TNA Knockouts World Champion @mashaslamovich!

Results:
Sami Callihan vs Eric Young w/Losers
Sami knocks them all off the apron before the bell rings, he levels the loser children, finds a chair, attacks EY but EY counters and this is the excuse to use weapons since the bell didn’t ring yet. EY tries to break Sami’s hand on the steps with the chair, but Sami moves, throws EY back in the ring, bell rings and EY hits a Belly to Belly suplex for two. They slug it out, Sami goes for Headbutts, then Sami wants to run the ropes but a loser trips him, distracts long enough for EY to knock him out of the ring and loser children swarm as loser children do. EY does the classic, throw back out for losers to attack while EY grabs and distracts the ref. Sami is selling a few lame attacks from the losers like he got shot. It’s an excessive sell, so it’s honestly a dumb transitional moment.
EY levels Sami, Lariat into Scoop Slam, looks for the Macho Elbow but Sami hits the ropes to crotch EY. Sami Superplex time, but EY bites the face to make Sami drop, EY jumps at him but eats a straight right hand. Cactus Driver, but no, EY tries his Piledriver…they both gouge eyes at the same time, Sami catches an EY charge into a Flatliner as they’re both down…for…reasons? The selling in this match seems…poorly timed and kinda stupid. Hard Irish Whip, EY Flair Flips the corner, levels Sami, Macho Elbow for 2.9! EY threatens to hit the ref, but then goes to mad dog commentary. EY then wants to attack fans…he’s more unhinged than World Elite EY. Sami gives him the old Dick Twist into a Stunner but only for two! Losers try to distract, first one gets taken out, second one uses a chair, EY hits the Piledriver on Sami, EY wins.
I feel like this is gonna continue for a few weeks since it wasn’t a clean win.Â
Mustafa Ali’s group comes out, and I refuse to say the name because it’s dumb and they’re already fraying at the seams. Ali wants an apology session, Tasha and Hotch apologize to him but Skyler bites back and refuses, even shoved Ali. So Ali challenges him to a “Call to Arms” match. What in the hell is a Call to Arms match?Â
Lei Ying Lee & Masha Slamovich vs The Elegance Clique w/M & Personal Concierge
ASH does her borderline racist fake karate before Lei stares her down and tags in Heather. Heather avoids Lei, Lei throws a few Tornado Kicks to make a point and Heather tags out. Heather being 4’8″ helps her here. Concierge says “There’s no Karate in wrestling”. ASH, Lei and Masha are in the ring, ASH is trying to decide who she wants to face, but the Concierge google translated it and hands it to ASH, before the face team rocks ASH. Masha lifts up Lei and Lei does the Liu Kang Bicycle Kick, steering more into her Mortal Kombat aesthetic. Senton off the apron from Lei and Masha dives into the pile, the comedy heels are getting leveled. We go to commercial and come back with Lei getting Double Teamed but she spins it into a weird Neckbreaker..but can’t tag out just yet. Lei blocks Heather, Enzuigiri, simultaneous tag, Masha is Yakuza kicks for all and the 2 for 1 Lariat/DDT special. Near fall, but Masha goes for murder, but Heather breaks it, Rocket Launcher/Code Breaker from Elegance but Lei breaks up the pin. ASH tries to intimidate Lei with her fake Karate before throwing her out of the ring. Heather hits Lei with a handful of Glitter and then bounces her face off the post. Masha tries to stop ASH, Kelly’s music distracts Masha, Rarefied Air gives ASH the win.
Santino comes out and GOD DAMMIT no one wants to see Tommy Dreamer fight Mance Warner…that’s a useless thing. Pivot away…no one wants this. Oh no, now we have to listen to Steph talk too. Okay it seems to be a pivot, thankfully. Steph and Mance talk shit, Dreamer says something about Something is gonna happen…and Jake Something comes out. So…I guess we’re gonna build him up for 2 months and then job him out for 6 before he fucks off to his home galaxy or whatever?Â

Really wish Indi just opened with the Billy Butcher classic of, “Oi Cunt!” – but this wasn’t bad.Â
Eddie Edwards & JDC w/Alisha & Brian Myers vs Matt Cardona & Home Town Man
I hate… Cardona so much more now. Heel reasons for Cardona…go away heat for Deaner.
JDC wants the Home Town Man to start…and Deaner does his stupid Flip Flop and Fly, Cardona tags in, JDC is eating some offense, Cardona wants the Reboot, JDC powders, Cardona Dives but then Lish and the general numbers catch up to Cardona. Eddie is legal, and now they isolate Cardona with some decent tandem work and isolation. This turns into kind of a schmoz, lots of silly spots, near falls and then Home Town doofus gets the cradle pinfall on Eddie.
Whenever Deaner is involved I can’t be asked to care. The System beats Cardona and Deaner down, but Eddie did eat a pin. Which is embarrassing not even for work reasons, like it’s just sad.
Champion’s Challenge: The Rascalz, Joe Hendry, Leon Slater & Elijah vs The Kaiba Boys, Moose, Steve Maclin & Trick Williams
Elijah and Nic start things off, slow push off, arm wring, top wristlock, simple chain wrestling start. Nic breaks the chain and hits a Dropkick, Elijah runs the ropes and hits a Diving Lariat and starts the Rope Walk. Nic seems far to awake and alert for that move then, I hate how people pull that off too early. Wentz gets tagged in, Nic tags in Maclin who wasn’t looking for a tag, but him and Wentz have a nice clash, Trey tags in, they try to double him, but they pause and look at each other. Maclin asks for a tag, no one tags him so he Chops Ryan to tag him in and throws him in.
The little nod to Maclin and Rascalz history and the fact the faces realize Maclin isn’t a piece of shit. A little MCMG homage tandem attacks on Ryan, Wentz punctuates with the Handspring Knee Lift, Ryan tags out to Trick. Trick and Wentz go back and forth, Rascalz have Trick eating offense, Moose tries to slow things down, both Trick and Moose powder, Rascalz Double Golden Triangle Moonsaults. Trey gets tripped by Nic, Moose hits Lights Out, but there’s no referee so it’s a little chaotic.
Out of the commercial things are controlled kinda and we see a simultaneous tag to Moose and Leon. Leon comes out hot, level Moose with a Leg Lariat, attacks Nic Nemeth, attacks Ryan, and then Moose hits Leon with the Stun Gun. Moose looks to tag in Maclin but Maclin jumps off the apron. Trick takes the tag, keeps control, Trick forcibly tags in Maclin but Ryan tags himself in and pulls Leon to the Champions’ corner, Nic tags in and isolates Leon, with the Kaibas quick tagging and keeping Leon down.
Moose tags in, tries to Suplex Leon about four times but Leon stops it then counters the Suplex. Moose tries to cut him off, but the Champions distract the ref so the ref can’t see Leon tag out. Nic and Moose doubling up and Leon is the bump guy of this last portion of the match. Big Uranage from Moose…Moose looks for Lights Out but Small Package almost ruined things, Body Scissors Cradle, GAME CHANGER! Moose looks to hit a Jacknife Powerbomb but Leon turns it into a DDT. Maclin and Ryan start fighting, Nic Superkicks Maclin, Hendry and Nic tag in, Hendry is a house of fire. Sack of Shits for everyone! Nic, Ryan, there’s a pause when Hendry is face to face with Trick and Trick gets Uppercuts first then Sack of Shit! Standing Ovation on Nic, but Ryan blocks, Kaibas try a tandem attack but Hendry Lariats them both. Elijah tags in and is the maestro of the crowd and chopping Ryan to some fun. Ryan goes for a Polish Hammer but eats the Knee Lift. Signature spam time…
Ryan tries to use the International title but Maclin grabs the title away from Ryan, clocks Nic, Standing Ovation into the Highwayman’s Farewell. Champions lose!
Overall Score: 4/10
Well this was a rough one boys and girls. Sami and EY was just an overbooked shitshow, Lei Ying Lee is unfortunately in a spot where it’s obvious TNA has no clue how to use her, the Elegantos are the New Beautiful People, and I’m not mad at that. But you need to space out your goofball crap. You can’t have Elegance Clique, Home Town Moron and Santino in 3 consecutive segments. And if anyone goes “it was 3 out of 4” that’s doesn’t lessen my point, the beauty of Pro Wrestling being a variety show is…FOR VARIETY! When the lead match feels stupid because of bad pacing, poor selling and overbooking with two losers, it feels like a useless match with idiots, then comedy, followed by more comedy…you see how that’s literally NOT VARIETY.
Figure it out seriously. This was a disappointing episode. If you’re a casual viewer than it’s just chalk for TNA doing cringe and borderline goof crap since they’ve always steered a little more into the carny than other companies. But this show was…where’s Jisoo and Jenny? I feel like I need that gif:

Pure Rules Match: Deonna Purrazzo VS Marti Belle!
While the ROH Women’s Pure Championship tournament still needs a full bracket, the Virtuosa is going to keep herself sharp for when she needs to strike. But will there be another masterpiece put together here tonight? Or will Marti prove she herself deserves a chance at making history?
The Code of Honor is upheld and the bell rings. We have 15 minutes as the two circle. They feel things out, knuckle lock, and then Deonna kicks an arm to wrangle Marti with the top wristlock. Marti rises up, rolls, and wrenches to wristlock. Deonna wrenches and headlocks to hit the takeover. Marti endures, fights up, powers out, but Deonna RUNS her over! Deonna soaks up the cheers and jeers, runs, then steps over Marti’s dropdown to “kick dirt” at her. Deonna eggs Marti on and the two reset. They tie up, Marti waistlocks but Deonna switches. Marti switches, lifts, but Deonna fights. Deonna ELBOWS free, then goes after Marti in the corner.
Deonna whips corner to corner, runs up, but Marti slips outside. Deonna ROCKS Marti first, soaks up more cheers and jeers, then runs, only for Marti to dodge the dropkick! Marti fires forearms, whips, but Deonna reverses and throat chops! Deonna sends Marti into steel steps! The fans are torn but Deonna wants the ring count. Deonna says it is just too easy, and Marti is rising up as the count starts. Deonna eggs Marti on, the fans rally, and Marti huffs ‘n’ puffs. Marti rolls in at 5 of 20 but Deonna stomps away! The ref counts, Deonna stops at 4, and Deonna wrenches. Deonna YANKS Marti’s arm, then wrenches again to YANK it!
Marti clutches the arm but Deonna reels her into a facelock. Marti fights the suplex, makes it a cradle, ONE!! Deonna runs up, Marti rolls her up, TWO! Marti spins and ROLLING ELBOWS! Deonna falls and the fans fire up! Deonna goes to a corner, Marti runs in, but Deonna dodges! Marti hits buckles, then Deonna blocks a boot to THROW Marti down! Deonna has the arm and the leg, then focuses on the arm to make a SACRIFICE! The fans are torn but Deonna feeds off it all. Deonna demands Marti to rise up, and as we hit four minutes, Deonna SOBATS, runs, and KNEE LIFTS into the RUSSIAN LEG SWEEP!
Deonna rolls through, FUJIWARA ARMBAR!! Marti endures, reaches out, but Deonna grabs that arm, too! VENIS DE MILO!! Marti verbally quits and Deonna wins!
Winner: Deonna Purrazzo, by submission
Neither woman used a ropebreak in this match, and Deonna didn’t need to! At just four minutes and 24 seconds, Deonna finishes this. Will she not only become ROH Women’s Pure Champion, but do it in record time?
The Frat House speaks.
Jacked Jameson says, “Yeah, Johnny Hungy? Johnny Starving For Attention! You wanna come back and try and get one up on The Frat House? I don’t think so, pal! And Reynolds, you talking about I got a tiny package? I got a small package, in the ring, yeah! If you’re talking about this package, ask your girl!” Preston Vance says yes, good package. But Dark Order, Vance has hated them from the beginning. They call him a traitor when he just did something for himself for once. He hates Uno, he hates Reynolds, but the one he hates the most is Silver. Starving for attention, always has been, same guy since day one!
Dark Order wants a trios match? They’ll take you up on that. But remember the one rule: Win or lose, they BOOZE~! The Frat House marches off, cheering themselves on. But will they be humbled when Uno, Silver & Reynolds finally get a back on track?
Mark Sterling reviews footage with The Premier Athletes.
Smart Mark looks back at a loss The Premier Athletes suffered against the Sons of Texas, and he points out specifically when Dustin Rhodes grabbed him, TOSSED him, and that is assault on a ringside consultant. That is why Sterling has the cameras here. He wants to inform Tony Nese & Ariya Daivari that the State of Michigan sports authority agreed with him, that match was tainted and therefore expunged from their records, along with a few others. But then, that means they’re undefeated? Yes! Their record is spotless now! Daivari says he isn’t sure about them, but he was pretty confident he heard way less “Athletes Suck” chants than usual. Almost 50-50 out there.
Nese says Shop AEW has not seen a single soul buying the Athletes Suck shirt. Great news! And bad news for the rest of ROH. There is nothing scarier than a couple of athletes with momentum. They will take this momentum and go straight to the ROH World Tag Team Championships. Y’know why? Because Athletes RULE! Well, one thing these three haven’t lost is their confidence. But will legal loopholes and changing grades really turn them into champions?
8 Man Tag: The Infantry & Grizzled Young Veterans VS The Kingdom & Top Flight!
What interesting combinations on both sides. Shawn Dean & Carlie Bravo are just as tough as Zack Gibson & James Drake but with far more energy and bravado, but then Matt Taven & Mike Bennett used to make Darius & Dante Martin go through hell! Which side can put aside their differences better and come out the victors?
Well it would seem STP & GYV can as they all attack The Kingdom & Top Flight! The fans boo and the bell rings, but GYV beat down Top Flight while Infantry beat down Kingdom, another grudge coming back to haunt Taven & Bennett! The ref reprimands but the tides turn a bit. Taven brawls with Bravo on the outside, Bennett fires hands on Dean, and the Martin brothers throw hands back on GYV! Taven SMACKS Bravo off the apron, Darius UPPERCUTS James Drake, and the teams finally sort out a bit. Bravo runs back in but Taven LARIATS Bravo and himself up and out! Darius whips Drake to a corner, then runs up, but into an ELBOW!
Drake runs up, Darius arm-drags and DROPKICKS! Darius brings Drake around, Dante tags in, and Top Flight coordinates. Darius takes a swing but Drake dodges, only for Dante to send him into Darius’ UPPERCUT! Dante adds a JUMP KNEE and Darius LARIATS! Cover, ONE, but Dante basement DROPKICKS! Dante keeps Drake from the corner to tag Taven. They mug Drake, then Taven ROCKS him. Taven whips, Drake reverses but Taven cartwheels! Taven dodges, springboard and FLYING ARM-DRAGS! Taven then bypasses and DROPKICKS! The fans fire up because “IIII’M Matt Taven!” Bennett says the fans actually like Taven now.
Taven brings Drake up and into a headlock, but Drake pulls hair! Drake tags Gibson while he powers out, then he drops down for Gibson to trip Taven! Gibson drags Taven out, but Taven DECKS him! But then Drake DIVES onto Taven! The fans fire up and Infantry talks some trash. Gibson lifts Taven to SNAKE EYES off railing! Gibson puts Taven on the apron, and cravats for the neck wrench, and then a SLAM ono the apron! Taven sputters, Gibson stays between him and the corner, but the fans rally up. Taven fights the underhooks to fire body shots. Gibson keeps Taven back with a wristlock, and he tags in Drake!
Drake runs up, GYV double whip, and then they trap Taven in the corner. Drake ELBOWS Taven, Gibson UPPERCUTS, and then feed to the WHEEL KICK! Cover, TWO! Drake argues, but then he ROCKS Taven! Tag to Bravo and he RAMS into Taven! The Infantry mugs Taven, the ref counts and Bravo stops. Tag to Dean, and the Infantry double wrench to DOUBLE BACK SUPLEX! Cover, TWO! Dean throws off his shirt and drags Taven up. Dean scoops to put Taven in the Tree of Woe. Tag to Bravo and the Infantry stomp mudholes in! The fans boo, the ref counts, Gibson talks trash, but Infantry stops at 4.
The Infantry taunt Bennett & Top Flight before they DOBULE DROPKICK Taven outta the Tree! Cover, TWO! Bravo JABS, JABS, and then he BLASTS Top Flight! Bravo says they got nothing! But Taven scoops! Bravo slips free, but Taven HEEL KICKS! Both men crawl, hot tags to Darius and Dean! Darius rallies on Dean and GYV! Uppercut after uppercut then a whip! Dean reverses, but jumps into an atomic drop! Then the BULLDOG HOTSHOT! SUPERKICK for Gibson! GAMANGIRI for Dean! Then a step-in COMPLETE SHOT! Cover, Gibson breaks it! Dante whips Gibson but Gibson reverses. Dante goes out, up, around, and Gibson just keeps missing!
Dante GAMANGIRIS, then springboards to CROSSBODY! Bravo KNEES Dante, whips, but Darius is there to boost Dante up and over! Then Dante helps Darius hit the TORNADO DDT on Bravo! The fans fire up and Mike asks to be tagged in. Darius tags Mike and the fans fire up! Bennett CHOPS away on Dean! Gibson runs up, Bennett puts him in the corner and CHOPS away on them both Bravo runs up, Bennett puts him in the corner and CHOPS away on all three! The fans fire up as Drake runs up, but then Bennett spots him first! “You want some?!” Drake reconsiders but Bennett puts him in the corner, to CHOP away on all four!
The fans are fired up and Bennett brings Drake out to tag Taven. Gibson saves Drake, throat chops Mike, then clinches Taven. Drake ENZIGIRIS Taven! Dante DOUBLE CANNONBALLS GYV! Dean kicks Dante low, reels him in, and crosses the arms, DEPTH CHARGE! But Darius BOOTS Dean, then WALL WALK KICKS! Bravo runs up, kicks low, and runs to SCISSOR KICK! Bennett is back, fireman’s carry, DEATH VALLEY DRIVER! Taven adds JUST THE TIP of the knee! Bennett says time to kill ’em! But Gibson Y ANKS Bennett out! Taven gives Drake a KICK O’ THE KING! Bennett and Gibson brawl that way, Taven hits FLIGHT OF THE CONQUEROR on GYV!
Dante SPLASHES Dean, whips, but Dean reverses. Bravo runs to CARLIE CROSSOVER! Feed to Dean’s FLYING LARIAT! Infantry gets Dante up and sends him to BOOT CAMP!! Cover, DARIUS BREAKS IT! The fans fire up as this keeps going! GYV and Kingdom brawl, Bravo storms up but Darius TOSSES him out onto GYV and Kingdom! Darius reels Dean in and suplexes, but Dean slips free! Dean shoves Darius, Darius slides but Dean hurdles over. Dean ROCKS Darius, Darius CHOPS Dean, Dean JUMP KNEES back! Dean fires up, but Darius blocks a kick and makes it a FISHERMAN BUSTER!
The fans fire up and Dante is up top! MAMBA SPLASH!! Cover, Top Flight & Kingdom win!
Winners: The Kingdom & Top Flight, by pinfall
Former rivals made great allies here and they came out on top! But with everyone wanting the ROH World Tag Team Championships, will The Kingdom and Top Flight have to battle it out like the old days? Or can they stay friendly in the race to the top?
My Thoughts:
A very good episode but I’m surprised this was only 37 minutes long. Even then, there were pretty obvious squash matches, like Archer beating Solo and Miyu beating Havok. Well, so was Shane & Lee winning, but opening matches aren’t skippable. Ok and Deonna was of course winning her Pure Rules match. Why didn’t TK just get the ROH Women’s Pure Championship tournament going by now so that the title match could be at Supercard? Good to hear about Global Wars: Mexico, though.
The Premier Athletes have a good promo, but they’re just getting sadder as a team if they have to keep “expunging” losses from their record as if that makes them winners. Frat House has a good promo to set up the Six Man Tag, and if ROH wasn’t such an afterthought, I’d love if they explored what Preston Vance said. He claims he never liked Dark Order, hates them all now, but what if leaving Dark Order, joining LFI, leaving LFI, and now forming the Frat House is all Vance grieving Mr. Brodie? He doesn’t have to rejoin Dark Order, he just has to come to terms with why he’s actually being so awful to his old friends and maybe turn Frat House around into Faces.
And very good 8 Man Tag main event, everybody looking good even though it was a rather short match. Good win for the Faces to keep Top Flight afloat and to get The Kingdom, or in this case #OGK, back on track. I would think Dustin & Sammy make quick work of the Premier Athletes, but maybe if we can get three or four teams in one match, that’d be a way to protect Dustin & Sammy while crowning new champions.
My Score: 8.7/10
