5 Star Grand Prix Red Stars Block Match
Saki Kashima vs. Avary

Review: Our first match on this show takes off as we have Saki Kashima taking on Avary. Avary still looks to get a win in this tournament and by how it’s looking, it looks like she’ll be mathematically eliminated from the tournament even if she does win this match. Saki right now is in the middle but she would need to win her next couple of matches if she wants to even attempt to stay in the game here. Will Avary get her first win or will Saki win with her Revival?

Yeah, I gotta say while I have been impressed with Avary in the ring, this was probably her weakest match. To me, the match felt like it was all over the place and it just turned out to be a sloppy mess, even Saki looked like she hurt Avary or herself with how she would deliver that Hurricanrana. I like both of them but again, they didn’t click in here and it was just a mess and a shame too because I was looking forward to this one being a solid bout. Luckily, the match was about four minutes and Avary would show off her finisher, which is a Double Armed DDT and she hits Saki with it to get her first win in the Grand Prix! It’s not a big win but it’s good to see her get some points on the board instead of losing all of them.

Rating: Tony Schiavone and a quarter

 

5 Star Grand Prix Red Stars Block Match
Hana Kimura vs. AZM

Review: On our next match, we have Hana Kimura taking on AZM. AZM only has three matches left and if she has any chance of even consider advancing into the finals, she would need to win all of them for that to happen. Hana still has a few matches left and is one of the people that are considered in the lead right now, so winning here would put her up in first. Will AZM stay alive or will it be the end of the grandma collector?

Hana would attempt a handshake to AZM before the match begins and AZM responds by attempting to kick her hands out of the way, but Hana moved them and spat in her face as the two are going at it now. We can another solid performance between both of these women as AZM is on her coming out of her shell part with these matches so far as they have all been a joy to watch except for her first one with Sumire since that one was a trainwreck. Hana is still a solid performer and it looks like we’re getting a little bit of the wrestling side of her that we’ve seen from her days in Wrestle-1 but it’s still not quite there yet as it still relies on mostly character than ability there. AZM makes a small comeback with a Suplex and a Double Stomp off the top rope and Hana kicked out at two. Hana was able to hit a Brainbuster on AZM for a two count and Hana looks to make AZM tap with the Hydrengia but AZM would get to the ropes in time to break the hold. Hana went to the top rope and jumped with AZM moving out of the way and does the Japanese Clutch for Hana to kick out and AZM tries to cradle her for another two count, but AZM would grab her arm and rolled her up to get the three count as AZM is still in the game! Very solid bout and good to see AZM still alive in the tournament.

Rating: Eric Bischoff and a half

 

5 Star Grand Prix Red Stars Block Match
Mayu Iwatani vs. Hazuki

Review: It’s time for our final match for this show as we have Mayu Iwatani taking on Hazuki. Mayu is in a great position right now and winning here would put her in the lead. Hazuki is currently in the middle right now, so she would need to start winning her matches here or it’ll be game over for her. Will Mayu reach to the top again or does our Assault Commander stay alive?

Hazuki is another wrestler that deserves more praise and more chances at the upper mid spot of the card as she keeps on delivering and hardly have a bad match with anyone, and she has proven that here against the icon. Mayu doing great with her selling as always and these two were intense against each other in the ring and I mean it, especially when it came to the back and forth with the punches as you can just feel the impact with each blow given to them. I enjoyed this match, I enjoyed the chemistry in the ring, I enjoyed the quickness of Hazuki, the emotion and selling from Mayu, and just a well-balanced match. Our Assault Commander doing what she does best and that is her assaults as she hits Mayu with the Codebreaker from the middle rope and Mayu took it wonderfully. Hazuki would lift Mayu but Mayu fights her off before hitting her with a stiff Superkick and tops it off with a German Suplex Hold from a high angle as Hazuki kicked out at two. Mayu would drag her by the turnbuckle as Mayu hits a Standing Moonsault but Hazuki rolled her up once she took the hit as Mayu kicked out at two and hits Hazuki with a roundhouse kick. Mayu tried one more time with the Standing Moonsault but Hazuki rolled out of the way this time around and applies the Hazukistral to get the victory over Mayu as our Assault Commander is still in the game!

9/14/2019 Afternoon Show

5 Star Grand Prix Red Stars Block Match
Hazuki vs. Avary

Review: Time for our afternoon show of day 7 as we start with Hazuki taking on Avary. Both of these women were able to get a victory at the previous show but it’s not enough for Avary as she is now considered eliminated at this time. Hazuki is currently tied with everyone right now and she would need to win here to get the top spot. Will Avary be able to take Hazuki down with her or will Hazuki be in the lead?

Much better performance from Avary during this bout compared to her last one against Saki. Had a buddy of mine point out his issue with Avary while I did convince him that she was very solid in the ring, but he pointed out how her facial expression can be a bit much. You know what though? He does have a point that they do need to be toned down a little bit since it can be a bit much but hey, least it’s not Kenny Omega over the top with the expressions. Hazuki used more of her quickness in this bout and Avary was able to catch up with her a little bit in here and that could throw her off guard if she’s not too careful. Avary was able to ger more offense here and would even hit her Double Stomp from the ropes after hanging Hazuki onto them but it wasn’t enough to put Hazuki away. Hazuki was about to go for the Hazukistral but Avary was able to roll her up and Hazuki reversed it to apply the Crossface. Avary slipped out of the Crossface to apply the Cattle Mutilation until Hazuki had her foot on the rope to break the hold. It looked like Avary was about to finish her off as Hazuki kicks her face in and starts the attack with a Codebreaker from the turnbuckle and she sold it well here. Hazuki would pick Avary up afterward and hits the Brainbuster to get the victory and is now in the lead.

5 Star Grand Prix Red Stars Block Match
Momo Watanabe vs. Natsu Sumire

Review: Our second and final match for this show has Momo Watanabe taking on Natsu Sumire. When they fought each other last year, Sumire would defeat Momo in this tournament and while Sumire is eliminated, she has a chance to take Momo down a peg with her. Momo would need to win here to increase her chances of advancing and to be tied with Hazuki. Will the ace be able to win or will Sumire beat her twice in a row?

Before the bell rang, Sumire would do her usual handshake attempt but Momo just kicked her hand away and Sumire starts the assault as the bell rings. I know they’ve had better bouts in the past but this one was a little more underwhelming compared to those previous matches. I get that Sumire wants to do things a little more seriously for this tournament but the majority of the time, it just comes out weak here and almost none of her matches have impressed me in this tournament so far and it’s a shame because I do like her. Sumire would do her little crotch attack with Momo upside down and did it to the usual turnbuckle post before hitting a Reverse DDT for a two count. Momo would attempt to hit the Somato off the top rope as Sumire moved out of the way and took her move to hit the Somato on Momo as she kicked out at two. Momo would hit the Somato twice and as she went for the third one, Sumire caught her for a cradle as she kicked out at two again. Momo would eventually apply the Crossface Chickenwing as Sumire couldn’t hold on as she tapped out, giving Momo two points to stay in the game.

Rating: Tony Schiavone and a half

9/14/2019 Evening Show

5 Star Grand Prix Red Stars Block Match
AZM vs. Saki Kashima

Review: Time for our final show for this article as we start it off with AZM taking on Saki Kashima. AZM was lucky enough to get a win over Hana Kimura but she would need to win these last two if she wants to have a chance to stay in this one. Saki, however, doesn’t have high chances left but she could somehow turn this around but if she loses two more matches, she’s out. Will AZM be able to join the others for the top spot of will Saki cling on while eliminating AZM in the process?

While they were giving out introductions before the match, AZM would Missle Dropkick Saki while her name was being called out and the bell rings. The first thirty-seconds were the two of them trying to roll up the other to try and get the quick pinfall but none of them would budge until their first wave of quick pins came to an end for now. While Saki’s better match compared to her one with Avary, this one wasn’t great either as not much was shown here between the two but the performance from AZM was still solid for the most part. Saki would attempt the Killswitch as AZM pushed her off and would try to roll Saki up again as the remainder of the match was just them trying to see who can pin who fast enough that you’d think Saki will eventually go for the High Speed Championship against Riho soon. Saki would attempt to go for the Revival as AZM slides off her to do her own pinfall as AZM wins and Saki is one step closer to being eliminated.

Rating: Tony Schiavone and three quarters

 

5 Star Grand Prix Red Stars Block Match
Natsu Sumire vs. Tam Nakano

Review: In our next match-up, we have Natsu Sumire taking on Tam Nakano. Sumire is already eliminated much like Avary but she could now play the spoiler here and ruin Tam’s chances of winning here. If Tam could get a victory here, she will be tied with Hazuki, Momo, and AZM. Will Tam be able to join those three or will Sumire pull off a victory?

Tam would have her panda, P-Chan with her this time around as Sumire would take her off her hands and would hold the panda hostage since Tam doesn’t wanna hurt her best friend. This is the Sumire that I know and love, pulling off little antics like this, holding the panda hostage to get what she wants from Tam, she would even spray the both of them with cold spray, what a heel. She threatened Tam that she would spray P-Chan again and makes her turn around and go on her knees as Sumire would kick the back of her head when she wasn’t looking. Sumire kept using P0Chan as leverage over Tam and even had it involve with some of her moves, like her little face thrusts to the corner. Tam would eventually get a small little comeback but it doesn’t last long as Sumire picked her up from the turnbuckle and hits her DDT for a two count. Sumire would then apply the Dragon Sleeper to try and get Tam to tap out but Tam would turn it around to apply the move herself and hits a Reverse DDT for another two count. Tam went to go for a kick as Sumire would catch her for a cradle as Tam kicked out at two and Sumire tried to kick her a bit. Tam was able to get P-Chan back and tossed it at Sumire to distract her to hit a Running Knee Strike and she covered her, but Tam lifted her head because she wants Sumire to suffer as she hits the German Suplex Hold and gets the pinfall victory. Fun match and Sumire’s best one in this tournament so far.

Rating: Eric Bischoff and a quarter

 

5 Star Grand Prix Red Stars Block Match
Hana Kimura vs. Mayu Iwatani

Review: Our final match of the show and article as we have Hana Kimura taking on Mayu Iwatani. Both of them are tied with six points but if Mayu loses here, she’ll be eliminated as she has one more match left after this one. Hana can still win this if she can take Mayu out and be tied with the other four for a five-way tie. Will Mayu be eliminated or will Stardom’s Icon be able to save herself?

While Mayu was being introduced, Hana would begin her assault on her and would take her to the outside as the two start fight with Hana getting the upper hand at first. Mayu would eventually hit Hana with a Dropkick into the turnbuckle post and would climb to the top rope to attempt a Crossbody as Hana moved and Mayu landed on her fellow STARS members. This was Hana’s best match in the tournament as she was able to show us what she could do against a top opponent like Mayu to face off against. Mayu made just about every move she took from Hana as if she was getting thrown around like a ragdoll, especially when she would punch her to hitting her boots to the face, so good for Mayu in that regard. Mayu would even try and choke her out with the Guillotine and I thought that was going to be the ending of the match right there but Hana found a way to get to the ropes.

The two start to fight back and forth with the punch and when Hana was hitting her, Mayu would flop on down to the mat but Mayu would eventually hit Hana with a Superkick. Mayu used this time to go for the Dragon Suplex but Hana was fighting out of it as Mayu would then transition it into the Bible, shades of Dragon Kid as Hana kicked out at two. Mayu got up to the ropes but Hana quickly got up to catch her to hit a Brainbuster as Mayu kicked out at two and would then climb to the top rope herself, however, Mayu would then climb up to hit a Hurricanrana to get her down on the mat. Mayu used this time to hit a Moonsault off the second rope and instead of pinning her, she attempts to do it from the top rope but Hana had her knees up this time to avoid taking the damage. Hana would then apply the Hydrengia or at least try her best in getting it fully locked as Mayu had her foot on the rope to break the hold, leaving Hana annoyed. Hana would go for a Big Boot as Mayu moved out of the way and hits a roundhouse kick to make her fall out the ring, then Mayu would go to the top rope to hit the Crossbody this time and connects with it! Mayu gets Hana back in the ring and hits a Frog Splash for a two count and would then go for the Dragon Suplex once again but Hana rolled herself to try and pin her but Mayu kicked out at two. It looked like Hana was gonna go for a Lariat but Mayu quickly got behind her and hits the Dragon Suplex Hold right away as she got the pinfall victory in a great match! Mayu is now still in the game and won’t wrestle until September 22nd against Momo Watanabe.

Rating: Bruce Prichard

 

Overall: While the last two days were better, this show was still solid enough to keep me interested. We have three more shows left to go through and I currently have a five-way tie in my hands with Momo Watanabe, Tam Nakano, Mayu Iwatani, and AZM. Hana can still catch up if she can win her next match, or else she’ll be eliminated like Natsu Sumire and Avary. Looking forward to seeing how the rest of this will play out.

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:

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!

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!

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
