ROH World Television Championship Contenders Tournament: Facade VS Eli Isom w/ Ryan Nova!

The Neon Ninja and the Future of Honor return for this small four-man tournament to determine a challenger for Jeff Cobb! Who moves on to the finals and one step closer to challenging the Hawaiian Hulk?

The Code of Honor is upheld between the shinobi in the ring and we begin. Eli and Facade circle and tie up. They push each other around but Eli gets the waistlock. Facade slips out to a headlock, but Eli slips out to his own. Eli brings Facade to the mat and gets a cover, ONE as Facade gets the headscissors. Eli pops out and the two shove each other. Facade trips Eli then runs, but Eli ducks under. Facade cartwheels and waistlocks but things speed up again. Eli hurdles, hurdles then knees Facade down! Fans cheer as Eli goes after Facade on the apron. The referee backs Eli off and Facade shoulders in. Facade slingshots, rolls, and waistlocks Eli but Eli bucks him off. Things speed up again and both men dodge, Facade hits Eli with a calf kick!

Facade toys with the younger ninja and waistlocks again. He rolls Eli this time, TWO, springboard dropkick! Cover, TWO! Facade keeps on Eli with an armlock, and turns it into a half bow ‘n’ arrow. Fans rally as Facade makes it a leg based full nelson. Eli endures but Facade makes it a cover, TWO! Facade has Eli but Eli hits back with body shots. Eli hits forearms, uppercuts, elbows and an enziguri! Eli fires up and whips Facade into a back drop! Facade bails out as fans rally up for Eli. Eli builds speed and DIVES! They both crash and burn but Eli gets up with fire! We go to break as Eli goes back for more.

ROH returns and Eli runs in for a big European Uppercut on Facade. Eli back suplexes Facade and bridges for a cover, TWO! Nova keeps Eli focused while Facade gets to a corner. Eli goes after Facade as fans build to a rally. Eli suplexes but Facade slips out. Facade dodges and springboards for an enziguri! Eli rolls out now but Facade builds speed. Facade springboards and FLIES! He hits Eli with a shinobi senton! Fans fire up as Facade drags Eli into the ring, then climbs up top. He walks the ropes but Eli dodges the jump. Eli hist a roaring elbow, then roars as he drags Facade up. Facade escapes the suplex but Eli blocks the kick. Eli ducks another kick but gets hit by the third! Facade torture racks, into Neon Hammer!

Facade can’t cover, so he climbs up top. He walks the ropes, Neon Terminator dropkick! Cover, TWO!! Eli lives and Facade can’t believe it! Facade drags Eli up and vows to finish this. Springboard, but the Destroyer is denied! Eli hits a big lariat! He suplexes, BRAIN BUSTER! Cover, Eli wins!!

Winner: Eli Isom, by pinfall; advances to the #1 Contender’s Match

The Future of Honor might be now! Who will Eli meet in the final match?

 

Kelly Klein speaks.

“At Final Battle, I defeated not one but three opponents to become the WOH World Champion.” And she is so confident in her ability to keep the title, that she will defend any time she has a match, against anyone and anywhere. From now on, anyone who steps to her will get their title shot. But will the Gatekeeper come to regret giving everyone a shot at her?

 

Welcome to Villain Enterprises!

Marty Scurll called his shot at THE ROH World Championship, but he got The Kingdom and their would-be king. The Kingdom thought Scurll was all alone, but he has new friends in Brody King and the electric PCO! Scurll ushers in a new era for ROH, but will this new team be able to overthrow Matt Taven and his crew? Find out on episode 384, when The Kingdom put up their ROH World Six Man Tag Team Championships!

 

Jay Lethal speaks.

“There is no secret that there is a long list of guys in the wrestling world that want this” ROH World Championship! And Lethal is very aware that Matt Taven continues to pretend to be something he’s not. Lethal knows one day they will cross paths and Taven will get what’s coming to him. Will the Franchise Player still be THE ROH World Champion when he goes to deal with the “real” world champion?

 

TK O’Ryan VS Rush!

The Sassy Wild Horse of The Kingdom may have to prepare for the Six Man Tag title match next week, but he doesn’t mind ruining the ROH debut of a major CMLL star! Will TK hit a home run against THE Ungovernable? Or will Rush show O’Ryan what Tranquilo is all about?

TK wants the Code of Honor but then he pulls it away from Rush. The bell rings and the two circle. They feel it out but then Rush backs off as fans chant “Tranquilo!” Rush then rushes in for a waistlock but TK standing switches. Rush switches, TK switches, Rush switches, TK switches, repeat! The two separate as fans duel, “Toro Blanco!” “T K O!” TK shoves Rush, but Rush rips off TK’s shirt and shoves him back. They shove more, Rush trips TK and speeds things up. TK gets Rush with a rebound German, but then so does Rush! They both dropkick but those cancel out, and fans fire up as the two stare down. Rush shoves TK again, so TK shoves back. TK dares Rush to hit him, and a brawl begins! They go back and forth but Rush gets the edge with a CHOP!

Rush cusses TK out, but TK boots him down! TK grimaces as he drags Rush out and bounces him off the apron. TK CHOPS Rush back, then whips him into barriers. The ref reprimands TK but TK just refreshes the count. TK puts Rush in and then taunts Rush’s fans. TK stomps away on Rush at the ropes but backs off at 4. He uppercuts Rush to a corner then chops him more. Rush CHOPS TK back then eggs him on. TK chops then throws hands before whipping. Rush kicks TK, dodges then SUPERKICKS! Rush whips corner to corner but TK reverses, only for Rush to come back with a superman punch! Toro Blanco is in control while we go to break!

ROH returns and Rush blocks a sucker kick to rock TK with a right. Rush puts some stank on his next CHOP! TK fires up and CHOPS, so Rush CHOPS back. They go back and forth with these chops, and then Rush stomps away! Rush runs corner to corner, but he fakes TK out to then swiftly kick him in the face. And of course, the original Tranquilo! Fans fire up and chant “SI! SI!” as Rush pursues TK on the outside. TK surprises Rush with a left hand! TK asks “Who’s the best around?!” but fans boo. The Best Around stomps Rush then throws him into barriers. He puts Rush in the ring, then covers, TWO! TK keeps his cool and fans rally up for Rush. TK undoes his wrist tape as he toys with Rush, and then chokes Rush with it.

Rush breaks free and fires off on TK in a corner. TK hits back then whips corner to corner, but Rush reverses. TK reverses back and back suplexes Rush down! Cover, TWO! TK taunts Rush as he stands him up. He whips Rush corner to corner but Rush boots him back. Rush then throws TK overhead into buckles! Both men are down but fans rally up. Rush feeds off the energy and sees TK get to the corner. Fans duel again as Rush stomps and whips. Rush runs in for a big splash, then continues, but TK intercepts with a European Uppercut. TK runs but Rush follows to intercept with a splash! Rush runs but TK follows and gets Rush with a spinebuster! Cover, TWO!! TK is furious as Rush survives.

Fans rally again as TK drags Rush up. TK facelocks and fisherman, but Rush powers him to a corner. TK clubs away and then climbs up. Rush resists and chops TK back. Rush climbs up for a stiff headbutt! Then, a SUPERPLEX! Fans fire up again as Rush aims at TK in the corner. Rush runs in for another big splash, then stomps away on TK before going corner to corner again, shotgun dropkick! Cover, Rush wins!

Winner: Rush, by pinfall

Tranquilo is victorious as Rush is successful in his ROH debut! Will the White Bull bulldoze a path to the top? But wait, the red balloons! Vinnie Marseglia is here and he wants a fight with Rush. But it’s just to give Taven an opening to clobber Rush with the purple belt! Vinnie then gets Rush with his inverted DDT! Taven gives Vinnie a chair and Vinnie puts Rush on it. The Kingdom prepares more chairs as fans boo and jeer. The Kingdom give Rush a TRIPLE Con-Chair-to!! Rush wins only to suffer insult and injury! What will the consequences be of this unprovoked and vile assault?

 

“Mr. Survival of the Fittest”, Rhett Titus, joins commentary.

The Big Dawg shows off the “fittest bod” that apparently won him a body building trophy. Whether that’s true or not, both he and his statue will be here to watch the main event!

 

ROH World Television Championship Contenders Tournament: Beer City Bruiser VS Silas Young!

The Future of Honor awaits the winner of this match in the next round, but that’s not on the mind of either man here. These two used to be good pals, but things have changed ever since the Last Real Man started spending time with Bully Ray. Will BCB get back at Silas for cutting him off? Or will Silas leave BCB behind as he goes for bigger and better things?

Bruiser picks up a mic before the match and talks to Silas. “You said our friendship meant nothing. That it was just business, for you to rise up the ranks of ROH.” But Bruiser realized for himself, “Silas Sucks!” Fans agree with that but Silas just taunts the fans back. Bruiser tells the “Last Real Boy” to look at him. Silas says Bruiser can’t keep up with Silas in a wrestling match, and Bruiser agrees. But they won’t have a normal wrestling match. Bruiser’s making this a fight! And not just any kind of fight, but a No Disqualifications match! Fans like the sound of that, because this is ECW Arena, after all. The approval is given, and the fight begins with the bell!

ROH World Television Championship Contenders Tournament No Disqualifications Match: Beer City Bruiser VS Silas Young!

Silas and BCB throw hands, but then Silas knees low. Silas shouts in Bruiser’s ear that he’s already shown he’s better. He runs but into Bruiser’s elbow! Bruiser says HE is better, and he clotheslines Silas and himself out of the ring! But Bruiser lands on his feet and fires up with Philly! Silas crawls but Bruiser stalks him to rock him with an uppercut. Bruiser sits the chair up and brings Silas over. “Beer will always win!” But Silas shoves Bruiser into the post! Silas clubs Bruiser and puts him in the ring while Rhett Titus fat shames Bruiser. Silas slingshots but Bruiser dodges the stomps, then rocks Silas with another right. Bruiser goes to suplex Silas out but Silas resists. Silas hotshots Bruiser back, then mockingly applauds.

Fans rally up as Silas builds speed. Bruiser dodges so Silas tumbles to the apron. Silas avoids Bruiser’s sweep but Bruiser avoids the kick. Bruiser hurries up as Silas slingshots in and triangle jumps for the lariat! Bruiser hits the apron while Silas dusts off his hands. Silas goes to the apron himself and drags Bruiser up. He tries to fireman’s carry but Bruiser too big and strong. Bruiser elbows Silas and fans chant “Beer! Beer!” Silas falls down and Bruiser aims, apron cannonball onto the chair!! Rhett jokes that they’ll need a spatula to pull Silas off the ground. But both Bruiser and Silas are down while we go to break.

ROH returns as Bruiser waits in the ring. Silas takes too long for his liking so he goes to the apron. But Silas trips Bruiser and Bruiser falls on the edge! Silas goes around and slingshot stomps Bruiser! Then stomps him more! Silas taunts Bruiser and kicks at him. Silas drags Bruiser up but Bruiser blocks a whip to reverse it. Bruiser catches Silas as he goes up and over, but Silas slips out to kick out a leg. Silas kicks more, then facelocks, and lifts Bruiser enough for the Anarchy Suplex, the draping swinging neckbreaker! Cover, ONE! Bruiser shocks Silas but Silas doesn’t stop.

Silas brings out a table, for a total of two. He puts this table inside the ring and up in a corner. Silas goes to Bruiser and throws haymakers. He whips Bruiser corner to corner but Bruiser reverses. Silas stops himself and rocks Bruiser with an elbow. Bruiser boots back and then runs, cannonball through the table!! Philly likes that one as Bruiser covers, TWO!! Silas survives and Bruiser can’t believe it. Both men slowly stand as the wreckage is cleared. Bruiser runs at Silas but into a chair! Bruiser tumbles out of the ring but Silas goes out after him. Silas stomps him, then jabs Bruiser with the chair. Silas says Bruiser asked for this No DQ, now he’ll pay for it!

The Last Real Man sets up chairs then pulls Bruiser up. Bruiser hits back and whips Silas at the barriers. Silas stops himself and rocks Bruiser back. Silas climbs up with help from a support beam, but Bruiser catches him! Bruiser SUPERPLEXES Silas to the floor! Fans applaud for Bruiser’s reckless abandon! Bruiser gets up first and drags Silas over to those chairs. He rains down rights and leaves Silas on the chairs. Bruiser then climbs onto the apron, then onto the top rope. Fans are fired up but Silas stops Bruiser from taking flight! Both men brawl as Silas climbs. Silas gets the edge, and then tries for something even crazier. The two men fight and fight, but Bruiser gives Silas a SUPER HIP TOSS! Bruiser brings Silas to a chair, Beer City Slam on the chair! Cover, TWO!? Silas survives and this match continues after the break!

ROH returns once more as Bruiser noms Silas’s head! But again, he has no teeth so it doesn’t really do anything.  Bruiser puts Silas on the chairs and climbs up again. Fans fire up as they anticipate what’s coming, but Silas stops Bruiser again. Silas throws Bruiser onto the chairs!! Cover, TWO!! Bruiser survives his own back’s destruction and Silas cannot believe it! Silas furiously searches for one more thing under the ring. He returns with zip ties?! Silas ties Bruiser to the ropes, a la their days together beating up Jay Lethal! Bruiser is stuck as Silas jabs and SMACKS Bruiser with chairs! Fans rally with chants of “Beer! Beer!” but Silas throws the chair in Bruiser’s face! Bruiser is out against the ropes but Silas dares him to sit up.

But wait, here comes Brian Milonas! The Mastadon has become Bruiser’s newest buddy in their tag team, and he won’t let Silas treat Bruiser like trash! Milonas brings the fight to Silas with body shots in the corner! Fans fire up as Milonas gives Silas a big hip attack! Milonas frees Bruiser with the help of scissors, then sets chairs on Silas. Milonas climbs but Silas gets up to SMACK Milonas, then send him down through the other table!! Fans lose their minds over that one, and chant “E C Dub!” for the good ol’ days. Silas runs at Bruiser but gets a dropkick! Bruiser lifts Silas but Silas slips out, only to get decked! Bruiser has a chair and he sets it on Silas now. He climbs up one more time, and hits the Vader Bomb! Cover, TWO!! Silas survives again and Bruiser can’t believe it.

Bruiser sees a third table and sets that up in the ring. Bruiser fetches his keg and BOPS Silas with it! Silas is on the table and Bruiser climbs up again. Bruiser leaps but Silas moves, only Bruiser goes through table! Silas lifts Bruiser in a fireman’s carry, and hits Misery! Cover, Silas wins!

Winner: Silas Young, by pinfall; advances to the #1 Contender’s Match

To say this match was massive is an understatement! The Last Real Man manages to survive both Bouncers, and now he moves on to the ROH World Television Championship #1 Contender’s match! Will the Future of Honor be able to shock Silas with an upset? Or will Silas steamroll his way back to the World TV title?

 


 

My Thoughts:

What a good episode to bring us further into this No-More-Elite era of ROH. While we learn that The Kingdom VS Villain Enterprises is happening already, and for the ROH World Six Man titles, it also seems they might be setting things up for The Kingdom VS Los Ingobernables de CMLL. Why else would Rush get that beating and Triple ConChairto? Plus, with how ROH taping sessions go, this attack can keep Rush off TV for a few episodes while his CMLL allies take the fight to The Kingdom in his place. ROH will definitely need to rely on all their relationships to keep afloat while The Bullet Club Elite goes all in on All Elite Wrestling.

Jay Lethal’s promo was also good in pushing the story I’ve been expecting of an Undisputed ROH World Champion. Depending on how things go for Taven against Villain Enterprises and possibly Team CMLL, Taven could come out stronger than ever against Lethal. I still expect Lethal to win to shut Taven up, but it would definitely be a big surprise if Taven won to finally become a Grand Slam Champion.

The ROH World Television Championship contender tournament was an interesting thing to just spring on us. Eli VS Facade was good but could’ve been better. Eli wins to give us a great underdog in the finals. Silas VS Bruiser becoming a No DQ match was great, as the match itself was great. Bruiser’s theme song now has lyrics so clearly he’s completed the turn to Face. As such, Silas the Heel wins to take on Eli. Either winner would make for a good story with Jeff Cobb, but I’m pretty sure Silas will win the tournament for Heel VS Face in the title match. Then Cobb will win because he’s Jeff Cobb. Eli would only win the tournament if he was going to get another shocking underdog victory, and I don’t see him doing that against Cobb. Cobb probably won’t lose the title until a Triple Threat or bigger match.

My Score: 8.1/10

Andrew’s TNA iMPACT! Results & Match Ratings: 6.19.25

Are we going to start trending upwards with Slammiversary to build toward?

Published

on

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.

Ratings:

  • Sami Callihan vs Eric Young w/Losers: EY wins via Piledriver – ** 3/4
  • Lei Ying Lee & Masha Slamovich vs The Elegance Clique w/M & Personal Concierge: Elegantos win via Rarefied Air – ***
  • Eddie Edwards & JDC w/Alisha & Brian Myers vs Matt Cardona & Home Town Man: HTM wins via Cradle – *
  • Champion’s Challenge: The Rascalz, Joe Hendry, Leon Slater & Elijah vs The Kaiba Boys, Moose, Steve Maclin & Trick Williams: Elijah wins via Highwayman’s Farewell – ***

 

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. 

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? 

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? 

Really wish Indi just opened with the Billy Butcher classic of, “Oi Cunt!” – but this wasn’t bad. 

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:

The fans fire up and Lee says, “Get over here!” Lee puts Gangone in a corner, fires hands, then JUMP KNEES! Lee drags Gangone up and the fans rally behind him. Lee wrenches, and wrenches, then hits an ELBOW BREAKER! Tag to Shane but Gangone ROCKS Lee! Gangone gets away to tag in Sal. Shane and Sal step up as fans chant “MEAT! MEAT! MEAT!” Sal ROCKS Shane, but then Shane brushes that off. Shane grins, the fans tell Sal he messed up, and Shane HEADBUTTS Sal! Sal wobbles while Shane shouts, “The hell is wrong with you, chump?”

Shane then YANKS Sal in for the URENAGE! The fans fire up and want that again, but Shane drags Sal around by a leg. Shane says why not. Ripcord and URENAGE! The fans fire up behind Shane and he rolls Sal so he can KNEE him back down! The fans chant for “S T P! S T P!” Shane winds up but Gangone runs in! Lee intercepts for the BORDER CITY STRETCH! Shane says STP reigns supreme! HAYMAKER!! Cover, STP wins!

Shane reminds us that he is coming for everything! Everything! Will it be just this easy for STP to own ROH?

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.

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!

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
