Singles Match
Saya Kamitani vs. Tam Nakano

Review: Our first match of the show kicks off with Tam Nakano taking on one of the newer rookies of Stardom, Saya Kamitani. These past few rookies in Stardom have been impressing a lot of people lately. First, it was Utami Hayashishita, then it was Saya Iida, and now Saya Kamitani is another one that the people have been keeping an eye on since her debut two months ago. Tam is a fine opponent for Saya to see if she can go to that next level and even have a chance to win. Will Saya be able to get a big victory or fall in a valiant effort?

This match was more of a beatdown than anything in this match since it was mostly Tam schooling Saya in the ring while she took the beating like a good rookie. Not sure how I feel about Saya just yet since this is the first time I’m watching her as I was more focused on the Grand Prix, she did sell well at least when she did get hurt on her back and such. My one little complaint that I have about her is her multiple uses of the Dropkick since she would do it immediately as she got up in awkward positions at times and I get wanting to take your opponent down but didn’t always fit and would just come off as sloppy. We did get a small glimmer of hope with Saya potentially winning when she flipped over a Backdrop and rolled her up for a two count. Tam would eventually hit a Spinning Kick to knock her out and score the pinfall victory. Standard pro vs rookie type of match but gonna keep an eye on Saya and see how far she can go.

Gauntlet Tag Team Match
Oedo Tai (Andras Miyagi & Jamie Hayter) vs. Oedo Tai (Hazuki & Natsuko Tora) vs. Queen’s Quest (Hina & Leo Onozaki) vs. STARS (Saya Iida & Starlight Kid) vs. Tokyo Cyber Squad (Death Yama-san & Konami)

Review: In our next match, we have a tag team gauntlet match for people not involved in the tag league or their partners are in bigger matches later on. We got two members from each group except for Oedo Tai who will have four of their members taking part with two different teams. Not much could be expected from this except to showcase some of the talent, some quick eliminations, and then someone winning while it leads to nothing big. Either way, this should still be a fun little contest for everyone and the fans love it. Does one of the Oedo Tai groups in or will it go to one of the other units?

So it looks like the first two teams that will start this one will be Konami and Death taking on Hina and Leo, so let’s see who gets eliminated first. Death was going her usual taunts and Leo would come in with the weak strikes, and she did no cutters during her time in her match, I’m shocked as my Leo counter is now depleted. Hina showed more progress than Leo in this match and would almost win when she does the Gedo Clutch to Death but Konami would break it up as Death hits the Senton to eliminate them in a quick two-minute match. That’s my problem with most of these since they’re so short that not a lot gets done or it’s just there just for the sake of putting them on the card to do a few things. I know the fans like it but they’re also mostly useless. Starlight Kid and Saya Iida are out next to take them on. The two would hit Death with a Double Dropkick before Starlight hits a Moonsault for Death to kick out at two. Konami would get a combo in when she hooked Starlight’s legs for submission and hits Saya with a DDT in the process while Death taunted around them. Death and Starlight are in the ring as Starlight hits a Springboard Crossbody for a two count as Konami and Death would do their kick and Senton combo again but kicked out. Death goes to the top rope and Starlight hits her off with a Dropkick and delivers one more to eliminate her.

We now know that two teams from Oedo Tai are left and the first one that comes out is the team of Andras Miyagi and Jamie Hayter and they immediately go into the attack without waiting for their intro and bell. A little sloppy sequence between Andras and Starlight when Andras caught her during a Crossbody and it looked like Starlight was gonna roll her up but overshot it. Saya does a blind tag when Starlight was in trouble and would deliver a Small Package to Jamie for a two count but she would keep rolling Jamie up to try and tire her out with all of these quick pins but ended when Andras broke the cycle finally. After a Double Suplex, Jamie would pick up Saya for the Ushigoroshi and pinned her to eliminate STARS as Hazuki and Natsuo come out next. Weird that Natsuko and Hazuki seem like a more balanced tag team than Andras and Jamie. Hazuki was able to get Andras to the apron and our assault commander would share her around the apron to try and lose her, but she’s too fast. Natsuko would grab Andras’ leg to distract her while Hazuki Dropkicks her to eliminate her as Hazuki and Natsuko win.

Goddesses Of Stardom Tag League 2019 Blue Goddess Block Match
Oedo Tai (Martina & Natsu Sumire) vs. Tokyo Cyber Squad (Bobbi Tyler & Zoe Lucas)

Preview: It’s time to begin the Goddesses of Stardom Tag League as the ones starting it off for the Blue Stars is Tokyo Cyber Squad members, Bobbi Tyler and Zoe Lucas taking on members of Oedo Tai, Martina, and Natsu Sumire. I won’t be covering the tournament but I’m still gonna cover the two matches that are on this show. While I’m not a fan of Session Moth Martina, I do like her teamwork with Natsu and curious to see how the team of Bobbi and Zoe turns out. Who will get the first win for the Blue Stars Block?

Martina would offer Zoe a beer at the beginning of the match and when Zoe took it, Martina told her to drink but Zoe chucked it out of the ring. This triggered Martina but I hate beer, so it doesn’t bother me as Martina would hit a stiff forearm in retaliation. Despite my feelings for Martina, she can hit a great forearm. Overall, the match was nothing fully special since it seemed like Zoe is about the same with little improvement and Bobbi looked like she downgraded a little bit, so not sure what happened since it’s been a while since I’ve seen her. Martina and Sumire are mediocre solo but do have a unique charm and chemistry together as a tag team, which is why I don’t mind them paired up whenever Martina is around for a tour or two. I will give praise to Martina for the finish when she hits the Jagerbomb onto Bobbi to get the win and two points since it looked like a cool move. Average match with a nice ending.

Goddesses Of Stardom Tag League 2019 Red Goddess Block Match
Queen’s Quest (AZM & Momo Watanabe) vs. STARS (Mayu Iwatani & Saki Kashima)

Review: Now that the Blue Stars block is done, it’s now time to go to the Red Stars block with their first match of this tournament as we have Momo Watanabe and AZM from Queen’s Quest taking on STARS members, Mayu Iwatani and Saki Kashima. It’s no surprise that Mayu and Saki are pairing up again since they were former champions and could have a chance to win and regain the gold that they lost. AZM has impressed a lot of people during her time in their 5 Star Grand Prix and now she has a chance to keep impressing people when she teams up with Stardom’s ace. Which one of these top teams will win?

I love how Saki and Mayu just switched their gears for the match with Saki being colorful and Mayu just wearing black and pink, which doesn’t look bad on her. We got AZM and Saki starting this matchup with their usual quickness but Saki did look like she delayed one of the spots when they were going back and forth, but they were able to make up for it. Mayu and Momo are in the ring now as Momo started to work on Mayu’s taped up leg and had her in a Boston Crab to apply more damage to it. Some double teamwork with Momo applying the Camel Clutch on Mayu while AZM hits a Dropkick. A little underwhelming from what I can see but still a very solid tag match and much better than the previous two matches we had in here. I mostly cared about the sequence between Momo and Mayu since they’ve been tearing it up against each other recently. Mayu would attempt to hit a Double Stomp off the top rope as Momo moved out of the way, leading AZM to hit her with a kick and then Momo would hit her with a kick before hitting the Tequila Sunrise and then a Somato as Saki broke the pinfall before it was a three count. Momo and Mayu were both on top and Mayu hits a Hurricanrana, then Saki would hit a Double Stomp from the top rope, and then Mayu tops it off with a Frog Splash and goes for the cover but AZM broke the pinfall. Mayu attempts to go for the Moonsault and Momo would grab ahold of her for the Peach Sunrise but Mayu rolled forward to pin her as Momo kicked out. Mayu would hit Momo with a Roundhouse Kick to knock her down and would then go to the top rope to hit the Moonsault and gets the pinfall victory. Surprise win for Mayu to get the pinfall on Momo, wonder if it’ll lead to something.

Wonder Of Stardom Title Match
Arisa Hoshiki (c) vs. Kagetsu

Review: It’s time for our first title match as we have Arisa Hoshiki defending her Wonder of Stardom Championship against Kagetsu. On the final show on September 22nd, she fought Arisa Hoshiki and the match would end in a draw due to the fifteen-minute time limit expiring. Since it ended in a draw, Kagetsu wanted to fight Arisa again and this time, she wants to do it for the white belt. This will be another big match for Arisa and these two have a chance to steal the show if they do go all out. Will Arisa be able to successfully defend the title for the sixth time or will our Emperor win the white belt for the first time?

The two started it off slow with the both of them trying to get small hits onto one another until Arisa would get the first advantage. Arisa would attempt to jump the ropes but slipped in the process, however, she still fixed it when she just jumped and landed her knees onto Kagetsu’s back, which was what she wanted to do but was able to correct herself and not ruin the flow of the match. It was Kagetsu’s turn to get some action in as she threw Arisa to the outside and would perform multiple dives to the outside and was able to hit them all before she slaps her around outside of the ring. Our emperor would bring Arisa in to do some damage on her leg and back to minimize the damage Arisa could do with her running and kicks since Arisa has deadly kicks. I felt like this match was a much better improvement over their encounter in the Grand Prix since it had a much better flow in the match and was able to tell us a story that made sense. Arisa would introduce a new move in her arsenal, courtesy of Will Ospreay as she does the Oscutter which she calls the Shining Star Cutter. She acquired this move after defeating Bea Priestly in the tournament and was able to have one move from Will’s arsenal and this was what she chose.

Arisa would attempt to go to the top rope but Kagetsu caught her to hit a German Suplex. This lead to Kagetsu hitting a series of moves, firstly, the running knee and then she would hit a couple of Michinoku Drivers to get her down before climbing to the rope to hit the Oedo Coaster, which she misses. Arisa wasted no time once she moved out of the way and hits a knee to the face and the two would go down. The two would then have a battle of kicks with none of them budging until Kagetsu would hit the one to make Arisa go down as Arisa kicked out at two. Kagetsu quickly grabbed her arm when she kicked out to apply the Kimura but Arisa had her foot on the rope. The two started to kick each other again as Arisa would come out the victor this time but Kagetsu still kicked out. Arisa would attempt to hit her running knee as Kagetsu ducked but would get hit anyway with two knees before going down but our emperor still kicked out. Arisa went for the Brazillian Kick as Kagetsu pulled the ref out of the way after ducking to spray Green Mist into her eyes and hits a Michinoku Driver along with the Oedo Coaster but Arisa kicked out! Kagetsu attempts another Michinoku Driver as Arisa fought out of it and knees her jaw when Kagetsu tried to spray green mist again. Arisa would then hit her Brazillian Kick as Kagetsu goes down and Arisa retains the title!

After the match, she would pay her respect to Kagetsu and talked about retaining the championship six times. She told the crowd she respected Kagetsu despite the group she’s in and was satisfied with the win after the time limit draw. She now ponders who she would fight next and said she had some unfinished business from the Grand Prix, which is why she’ll be challenging Jamie Hayter next since she was the first one to pin her in singles action since her return. Looking forward to it and a great match from both of them.

World Of Stardom Title Match
Bea Priestley (c) vs. Hana Kimura

Review: It’s now time for our main event as we have Bea Priestley defending her World of Stardom Championship against the winner of this year’s 5 Star Grand Prix, Hana Kimura. Hana was lucky enough to win the tournament to have herself get elevated to that next step in being the top star but not to solidify it, she would need to beat Bea and win the championship. Bea is still mixed with some people and still believes that she is just a transitional champion to drop it to the winner of this tournament, however, she could change those opinions here if she were to win and prove to be the top gaijin. Will Hana win the big one or does Bea retain her position?

After a tiny little stalemate at the beginning, Hana would offer Bea a handshake in which Bea replied by flipping her off and saying fuck you. Hana still kept her cool and would offer a handshake again but the crowd would cheer for Hana as Bea would attempt to shake her hand until Hana spat at her face and flipped her off, which Bea would do the same thing. The two would fight outside for a little bit with Hana getting the advantage before getting her inside. Bea would start to get an advantage of her own and held Hana’s hand as she jumped to the top rope and walking across it to slam Hana’s hand onto the rope instead of pushing her off since Hana had plenty of time to do anything since Be was just standing there for a few seconds before she dropped. One thing I did like about this match was that this did have a feel of a main event type match since we had a big match for both of them here where it could lead to a permanent spot as one of the top women in the company. We had a nasty bump occur when Hana was hanging between the ropes and Bea would be on the top rope to hit a Double Stomp and it looked like her back bent there when the two of them fell to the outside. Both looked to be in a lot of pain and Hana would take off the fuzzy parts of her boots off for some reason and Bea would get her back into the ring.

Here come the Bea-Triggers here from Bea once Hana would eventually get back into the ring, see what I did there? Bea calls for the Queen’s Landing but Hana would fight her off while on the top rope and Bea kicked her head in and joins her to the top as the two would fight back and forth until Hana would get the advantage and hits a Brainbuster off the top rope and Bea kicked out at two. Hana is getting a comeback now after she abuses she took and would start to apply the Hydrengia and she almost had it locked in except for the feet as Bea would have her foot on the rope to break the hold. Hana would call for the Tiger Lily but Bea fought out of it and tried to attack Hana but Hana caught her for a German Suplex as Bea kicked out at two. Hana attempts to hit it again but Bea ducked to kick her and nails a Kamigoye as she sent for a pin but Hana had her hand on the rope to save herself! Bea would then hit a Regalplex onto Hana as she kicked out at one this time and Bea is starting to get frustrated over this now. The two charges in at each other as Bea hits the Bea-Trigger and would hit one more for good measure before having her on the top to hit the Queen’s Landing and retains the title!

That honestly shocked me as I was expecting Hana to get the victory here but it looks like Stardom is high on Bea as their World of Stardom Champion and is here to stay as the top gaijin of the company. After the match, Bea would talk about her fourth victory after defeating the winner of the 5 Star Grand Prix and she wants to know who wants to step up next to the top gaijin. Mayu Iwatani would come into the ring as she looks to make a challenge for the title on November 4th. After the challenge has been made, Stardom President Rossy Ogawa would have a special announcement as he introduces a new addition to the roster which was former Ice Ribbon star, Giulia! That’s right, Stardom has poached talent from Ice Ribbon and Giulia would jump ship as soon as she left her Ice Ribbon contract. Giulia has introduced herself to the roster and is looking forward to competing in the top Joshi promotion. Heard there were some issues during her departure from the company, so not entirely sure how I feel about this but I’ll keep an open mind for the time being and see how she does in Stardom. I will say that a bridge has been burned between the two promotions now.

Rating: Bruce Prichard

Overall: A slightly above average first half of the show but the second half of it would leave a better impact with two great title matches to close off the show. Very excited to cover the November 4th show to see how the outcome will take place when Mayu and Bea fight off for the World of Stardom Championship. With how Bea has been doing, I think she’s here to stay on the top spot for a while.

Andrew Balaz

Well this is the first episode with the new regime, and I’m not looking forward to it. I’m expecting a car crash, because Delirious is worthless, Dreamer is hit or miss at the best, and no one else has a proven track record at having a brain. So I expect pure garbage.

Let’s see if I get surprised!

#1 Contender Match: Elijah vs Frankie Kazarian: Kaz wins via Cradle – N/A
Spitfire vs Jakara Jackson & Lash Legend: Jakara wins via M-KO – ** 1/2
Hardy Boyz vs Great Hands w/Tasha Steelz: Jeff wins via Swanton Bomb – ** 1/4
Tessa Blanchard, Jacy Jayne, Jazmyn Nyx w/Fallon Henley vs Lei Ying Lee, Xia Brookside & Masha Slamovich: Tessa wins via Buzzsaw DDT – ***

Results:

We lead off with Joe Hendry music because he’s on commentary during the Elijah versus Kaz match.

#1 Contender Match: Elijah vs Frankie Kazarian

We start off with Kaz sticking and moving to dodge Elijah, but he eventually catches him and goes to the Rope Walk quickly and pulls it off. Elijah tries to go into a Piledriver or something but Kaz slips it and pulls down Elijah with the slip. They go to the outside, Kaz throws Elijah into the post, then slaps Hendry, shoving match starts, Kaz charges and Hendry lifts but Kaz slips out the back and shoves Hendry into Elijah…the ref lets it slide. So Kaz throws in Elijah and a quick cradle gives Kaz the opportunistic win.

Post Match Hendry just goes crazy on Kaz, security pull apart spot, even Elijah pulls off Hendry and calms him down. Elijah playing the long game, not even arguing that Hendry cost him. The match didn’t have enough substance to rate, it was purely a plot device and a little convoluted.

Backstage segment of Hendry with the Doctor, Hendry apparently messed up his shoulder in the scuffle…so…that’s something.

System Ultimatum time is next. The crowd is booing the hell out of Eddie, and it’s a real reaction not go away heat or anything, Eddie plays in it well enough. Lish leads the way and wants to do the Planteer pose, but the rest just walk past her and she seems annoyed, while these others seem somber. This was going the way we expected with everyone sticking around. We finally get to Moose and doofus Deaner’s music hits. Deaner tries to get the crowd to rally around Moose resigning from The System. Moose says the People are right, but then beats the hell out of Deaner. They do the Planeteer pose over the corpse of Deaner. Hopefully we never see that dork again, just let him go be a jobber in Maple Leaf Pro.

Spitfire vs Jakara Jackson & Lash Legend

Jakara starts with Dani, a quick tie up, but Jakara strikes out of it, Arm Drag sends Dani flying, but Dani stops Jakara’s next attempts at offense, tags in Jody and a tandem moment rocks Jakara. Jody tags back out and Lash tags in, so it’s power and booty versus power and booty. Shoulder Tackle spot and Lash gets the best of it, Dani holds on to the ropes to stop the Whip recoil, Jody with the blind tag, they try to team up but Lash fights out of both. Jody goes Spider Monkey and tries to choke out Lash but Lash just walks her back to Jakara and tags out. Jakara is rolling until Jody holds the ropes and watches Jakara crash and burn on a Dropkick. Probably the best I’ve seen that spot in a long time. Dani tags in, they try the Scoop Slam tandem attack on Jakara, but Jakara moves and Dani just slams Jody into the mat.

Lash gets tagged in and starts to maul Dani. A little rotating offense keeping Dani isolated. Dani tries to find an opening but she’s eating move after move, they go for the Tandem Wheelbarrow Slam, but Dani gets the knees up. Dani finally gets a chance to tag out, Jody starts working over both Lash and Jakara. Stacks them in the corner to do her 10 Count Lariats, Exploder Suplex into rope hung Double Knees. Jody wants the German but Lash tries to stop it. Jody fights off Lash, manages a Stalling Jackhammer on Jakara, but Lash does manage to break up the pin. All four are in the ring, Dani gets tosses, Straight Right from Lash clocks Jody. Jakara flies to wipe out Dani, they look for the M-KO but Jody fights it off. Jody throwing Chops on both, it starts to look stupid, Jody tries to fire and Lash wants to clock her with the Forearm during the stall but hits Jakara.

Crossbody from Jody, Lash catches her, M-KO. Meta Girls win.

Oh great more talking, now the Hardyz are out to talk and Matt gives a decent but basic promo that goes into a bit of Broken just for the cheap pop. Jeff pokes fun at the “best brother tag team” joke from last week. If they weren’t The Hardyz the crowd wouldn’t care. Oh speaking of not caring, the Great Hands and snackalicious Tasha Steelz interrupt. Great Hands want to fight, Hardyz are okay with it of course, then Santino comes out. He says after the commercial Great Hams vs Hard Boys is on!

Hardy Boyz vs Great Hands w/Tasha Steelz

Hotch is getting worked over by both Hardys, a little classic tandem offense, an early pinfall, but Hotch claws the eyes and tags in Skyler. Skyler’s advantage last like 12 seconds, he tags Jeff, Rocket Launcher into the middle rope with a Leg Drop from Jeff. Jeff tries to Whisper in the Wind in the opposition corner like a dumbass, so Hotch crotches him, the Hands do the double crotch stomp as Jeff is in the Tree of Woe. Assisted offense, they try to perch Jeff, but Jeff fights them off and pulls off the best Whisper in a minute. Matt gets the hot tag, Scoop Slams, Delete Headsmashes, and a Side Effect on Hotch for fun. Matt wants the Twist on Skyler, Skyler counters, Jeff tags in, Poetry in Motion, Side Effect on Skyler and only a near fall.

Twist of Hate attempt, Hotch breaks it up, Matt takes out Hotch, Skyler almost pulls off the Flash upset with the Cradle. Plot Twist, Swanton, and Jeff wins.

Ryan Nemeth is in the back watching the match, has a few snarky things to say while wearing an LA Sparks jersey, Leon Slater and his lack of charisma in Birmingham accent shows up. Hates the WNBA obviously since he tries to push Ryan out of camera frame, and then they’ll prolly have a match at some point. At least Ryan has a gimmick that’s been amusing, but God is Leon Slater useless.

THEY HAVE AN INJURY REPORT SEGMENT – that’s soo damn corny. Never do this again, this is dumb as hell.

Oh great, more talking…SDL and Mance Warner. Where’s Keenan when I need someone to scream “WHY!?!”

This promo is complete shit, they even invent a bad magazine called TNA Weekly for this dumb thing. I hate this, and not in the “I wanna see them get beat up good heel work way”, I hate them because they’re useless, uninteresting and just saying dumb crap. When Santino comes out and effectively calls them stupid and cringe…that’s kind of a problem when the comedy character calls you dumb. THEY ARE REBRANDING THE BELT AGAIN! International Championship…ugh. Sami comes out to beat up Mance while Santino tries to wrestle the belt away from Steph. This is just cringe.

Mustafa Ali is doing great work. I’m a little mad this promo was buried in this awful episode.

Tessa Blanchard, Jacy Jayne, Jazmyn Nyx w/Fallon Henley vs Lei Ying Lee, Xia Brookside & Masha Slamovich

Tessa and Masha start, Masha shoots the half, rains down fists, Tessa kicks her off but Masha keeps up the aggression and forces Tessa to powder. Fatal Influence tries to come in, Xia and Lei dispatch them, Dual Baseball Slide take out the NXT girls, and a Middle Rope Plancha from Masha takes out Tessa as we go to commercial.

Back from commercial Lei Ying has Jacy in a grounded Arm Bar. A little hair pull makes Lei stand up, but she drops Jacy flat after a Round Kick, Low Sweep and then a Running Knee as she’s getting back up. A corner Down Strike has Lei rolling, but a blind tag from Jazmyn catches Lei by surprise and then she gets trapped in the heel corner. The Fatal Influence gals rotate in and out, all 3 take cheap shots, PK into a Senton for a near fall. Lei finally fights off the onslaught and gets Xia in. Xia is very fiery and angry, and now Jazmyn is getting her ass beat. Rosemary is in the audience to distract Xia a little but Xia still connects with Broken Wings and a near fall. Xia gets tripped up on the apron, Jacy gets tagged in and a PK drops Xia on the outside. Hard Irish Whip back in the ring and Cannonball from Jacy has Xia down and out. Jazmyn tags back in, and Xia tries to fire up, Monkey Flip but pulled away by Jacy, Xia tags out, Masha takes out both Fatal Influence members, goes for a pinfall but Tessa runs in with a head of steam to break the pinfall. All six are in for Signature spam spot. Spinning Heel kick from Masha, Fallon distracts on the outside, and Tessa takes advantage of all the chaos, Buzzsaw DDT and Tessa gets the pinfall victory.

Ethan Page interrupts Kaz’s promo at the end of the show. Claiming he should have the title shot since he pinned Joe in NXT. So the Rebellion match is Ethan Page versus Joe Hendry.

Overall Score: 1/10

The one point is for Mustafa’s promo and the main even being decent. But this was awful. Too much talking, an “Injury Report” like this is a real situation and not scripted, which is insulting, and YET AGAIN, a new name for the lower card title. Jesus Christ, stop renaming the damn belt. Legends/TV/King of the Mountain/Grand/Digital Media/International… just stop it. Stick to a name or stop doing a lower card belt. Also really lame that they keep trying to push Cardona as something important.

Kaz and Elijah’s thing is a stupid angle, The System firing was a giant cock tease and who the hell gives Eddie the power to call everyone to task? Mance and SDL are the worst thing on this show after Deaner’s existence. SDL has been a plague on TNA programming since wasting time with her “needs neck surgery” promo instead of a match. I do truly feel bad for Mustafa Ali’s promo being stuck on this pile of crap.

This was an episode that should’ve been an e-mail. Garbage effort, garbage stories, just straight up a waste of two hours. Even with the Ethan Page appearance, this episode was still worthless. Is it sad to say, I expected nothing and am still disappointed by this episode? Ugh… LOLTNA…

ROH World Tag Team Championships Proving Ground: Dustin Rhodes & Sammy Guevara VS Cole Karter & Griff Garrison w/ The Frat House!

The Sons of Texas know MXM Collection is obsessed with them, but they have to focus on themselves right now. Will they check another team off the list? Or will The Diamond in the Rough & The Ivy League MVP have an even bigger reason to party tonight?

As The Frat House makes their entrance, Jacked Jameson is making the challenge for someone, anyone, to do sudden death beer pong. Jameson doesn’t think the fans are up to it, but The Natural & The Spanish God say bet. Jameson gives them the ping pong balls, then he and Preston Vance go outside the ring. Dustin & Sammy take aim, but then say “SUCK IT!” The Sons of Texas toss the balls, but Karter & Griff CLOBBER them from behind! The fans boo and the ref reprimands, but the bell rings! Griff goes after Dustin, Karter has Sammy, then they double whip. Dustin & Sammy grab ropes, then TOSS Karter & Griff out!

The fans rally as Sammy & Dustin build speed, but then they strut, spinarooni, and pose! The fans cheer but The Frat House coaches up their boys. Griff & Karter rush in, but Dustin & Sammy dodge to then HIP TOSS! The fans cheer and Sammy keeps Karter in. Sammy snap suplexes, covers, TWO! Sammy clamps onto Karter, tags in Dustin, and the Sons of Texas DOUBLE SUPLEX! Karter writhes, Dustin runs, SHINING WIZARD! Sammy adds a STANDING MOONSAULT! Dustin covers, TWO! Karter stays in this but Dustin stays on him with an armlock. Dustin wrenches, tags Sammy, and Sammy climbs up. Sammy DOUBLE STOMPS the arm!

Sammy puts Karter against ropes and CHOPS! Sammy whips, hurdles, backflips over, then DROPKICKS Karter down! Sammy kips up so smooth and the fans cheer. Vance gets on the apron, Sammy takes a swing! Vance gets away, Karter runs up, but Sammy BOOTS him away! Griff HOTSHOTS Sammy, and Karter LARIATS Sammy down! Karter goes up to soak up heat, then he stomps away on Sammy. Karter drags Sammy up, bumps him off buckles, and he tags Griff. They mug Sammy, the ref counts, and Griff taunts Dustin. This lets Jameson & Vance CHOKE Sammy! Karter even digs his boot in!

The fans boo but The Frat House gets away with that. Griff stands on Sammy, then steps off at 4. The ref has to keep Dustin back, Jameson gets another cheap shot in. Griff scoops Sammy, puts him in a Tree of Woe, then stomps a mudhole in! Tag to Karter, he stomps away on Sammy, then he tags Griff. Griff stomps away on Sammy, taunts Dustin, btu Dustin storms in! Griff scrambles away but the Frat House just keeps beating Sammy down! Griff drags Sammy to a cover, TWO! The fans rally for Sammy but Griff tags Karter. They mug Sammy, and Karter reels Sammy in. Sammy fights the suplex, but Karter fires body shots!

Karter suplexes, but Sammy slips free! Sammy shoves Karter, dodges him, but DOUBLE LARIATS collide! The fans fire up while both men are down! Karter and Sammy crawl, but Griff storms in. The ref stops Griff, but that lets Vance YANK Dustin down and CLOBBER him! The fans boo but Karter stomps away on Sammy! Karter drags Sammy up, bumps him off buckles, and he tags Griff. They RAM Sammy into the corner, then Karter sends Griff in for a SPLASH! Griff feeds Sammy to Karter’s KNEE, and Griff BOOTS Sammy down! Cover, TWO! The fans cheer but Griff grows frustrated. Griff keeps Sammy down with a facelock.

Sammy endures, the fans rally up, and Sammy fights up. Dustin reaches out, Sammy powers forward, but Griff CLUBS away on Sammy’s back! Griff then shifts around to back suplex, but Sammy lands out!

Dustin whips, Griff reverses, but “Not Today!” UPPERCUT for Griff! Karter runs in, into a SNAP POWERSLAM! Griff runs in, into a SNAP POWERSLAM! Cover, Karter breaks it! The Frat House stays in this but Sammy slides back in. Sammy runs up, wrenches Karter, and hits a CUTTER!

The fans fire up, Griff runs at Sammy but Sammy puts him in the corner! Sammy RAMS into Griff, goes outside to ENZIGIRI, and Griff staggers. Sammy aims from the apron and the fans fire up. But Jameson & Vance are there, so Sammy ARIHARA MOONSAULTS them down! The fans fire up, Griff runs up, but Sammy ROCKS Griff first! Sammy springboards, FLYING CUTTER!

Winners: Dustin Rhodes & Sammy Guevara, by pinfall (deny The Frat House a title opportunity)

Uno & Reynolds shrug, but they got their payback all the same. Dustin & Sammy hold up the belts and they point to the All In sign in the rafters. Will the Sons of Texas get to go All In in Texas?

The Premier Athletes w/ Mark Sterling VS The Outrunners!

Speaking of last week, Tony Nese & Ariya Daivari are feeling good after they won, but it was largely in part thanks to The Dark Order. “Smart” Mark has the mic to stop Bobby Cruise, he takes care of this. Everyone knows Daivari & Nese, “and folks, statistically, Milwaukee is actually the capital of deadbeat dads. But that’s okay, because we hate your kids, too. But tonight, they can for the first time ever, be part of a real winning family. And you can be part of our team. So when I say ‘Athletes,’ you say, ‘Rule.’ NOTHING ELSE. Hands in, boys. Ohhhh…! ATHLETES!” “SUCK!!” Milwaukee gets the better of Sterling, this is quite the losing streak.

But then Truth Magnum & Turbo Floyd make their entrance, and the fans here in The Good Land fire up! Will The Youngest Men Alive keep their ROH win streak alive? Or will Nese & Daivari find a way to go back to back for once?

The teams sort out, Truth and Daivari start, and the Code of Honor is barely upheld. The bell rings, the two circle, and the fans rally up. The two tie up, Truth headlocks, but Daivari powers up and out. Truth RAMS shoulders with Daivari, but neither man falls. Daivari dares Truth to try that again, so Truth runs and he RAMS Daivari again! Daivari flexes, Truth runs, but Daivari drops down. Truth ducks ‘n’ hurdles, then he CLOBBERS Daivari! The fans fire up while Truth flexes. Daivari frowns but Turbo tags in. Turbo and Daivari circle while the fans rally up. Daivari wants the Test of Strength, and Turbo obliges, but then Daivari kicks low!

Daivari bumps Turbo off buckles, tags in Nese, and the Premier Athletes mug Turbo! The ref counts, Nese & Daivari let off, and they shout, “ATHLETES!” “SUCK!!” They never learn… Daivari & Nese double whip, Turbo ducks ‘n’ dodges, Truth tags in before Turbo DOUBLE LARIATS! The fans fire up again and The Outrunners have Nese in a corner. Truth fires hands, then he whips Turbo in for an ELBOW! Truth SPLASHES Daivari, then feeds Daivari to Turbo’s BULLDOG LARIAT COMBO! The fans fire up, Truth DROPKICKS Nese and Turbo DROPKICKS Daivari! Sterling grabs a mic to shout at The Outrunners!

Sterling claims that in Milwaukee, it is illegal to hit dropkicks, “especially when you’re as ugly as you, pal!” The fans boo, but Truth storms out after Sterling! Sterling runs away, but ends up in the ring! Nese uses that to DROPKICK Truth! Nese tags Daivari, they mug Truth, but the ref reprimands. Nese ROCKS Truth again and again, then Daivari shoves Truth down. Daivari soaks up the heat, then hits a NECKBREAKER! Cover, TWO! Daivari brings Truth around to TOSS him out, then he argues with the ref. This lets Sterling and Nese get stomps in on Truth! The fans boo, Daivari goes out to fetch Truth, and whips him into railing!

The fans boo but Daivari puts Truth back in the ring. Tag to Nese, Daivari stomps Truth down, and Nese stays between The Outrunners. The fans chant “Athletes Suck!” but Nese UPPERCUTS Truth! Truth goes to ropes and Nese flexes. Nese brings Truth around to scoop and SLAM! Nese then says he’ll show us who sucks! Nese runs up, but Truth avoids the leg drop! The fans fire up, but Daivari runs in! Truth avoids the splash! Truth reaches out, Nese runs up but Truth TOSSES him out! The fans fire up, but Nese YANKS Turbo down! The fans boo but Daivari drags Truth back to stomp away! The ref reprimands but Nese tags in.

The fans rally for Truth but Nese holds him up. Daivari runs, but Truth gets free! Daivari CLOBBERS Nese! Hot tag to Turbo! Turbo fires off haymakers on Daivari! He DECKS Daivari, scoops and SLAMS Nese, then he scoops and SLAMS Daivari! Truth then scoops and SLAMS Nese onto Daivari! Turbo shouts at Daivari to get up, and he reels him in!

Nese drags Turbo up, Daivari joins in, but Truth saves Turbo from the double suplex! The Outrunners fire haymakers on The Athletes, then double whip. And DOUBLE BACK ELBOW! Daivari is down, The Outrunners wind up, and “Turbo Floyd! You sonova b*tch!” They shake hands, and DOUBLE ELBOW DROP! The fans fire up again as Turbo scoops Daivari! Truth runs in, but Nese saves Daivari now! Nese ROCKS Truth, shoves Turbo into a THROAT CHOP!

Nese PLANCHAS Truth, and then Daivari puts Turbo on the apron! Turbo RAMS into Daivari, slingshots up and over, but Daivari stays up! He sits on the sunset flip, but he holds the ropes! TWO!! Turbo is free, and he LARIATS Daivari! Nese is back, Turbo LARIATS him! Turbo flexes and the fans are loving it! But Nese distracts the ref and Sterling CLUBS Turbo from behind! Turbo just frowns and Sterling is upset. The fans tell Sterling he messed up! Turbo grabs Sterling by the tie, then winds up… to DECK Sterling! Sterling flounders, Turbo scoops Daivari! Truth runs up, TOTAL RECALL! Cover, Outrunners win!

Winners: The Outrunners, by pinfall

That’s 4-0 for Truth & Turbo, and it’s back to zero days since The Premier Athletes last lost! Will the Outrunners be in the running for an ROH World Tag Team Championship opportunity?

The Dark Order VS The Infantry!

We already saw Evil Uno & Alex Reynolds get even with The Frat House earlier tonight, and now it’s time for them to rebound from that loss. Will The Dark Order finally return to their former glory? Or will Captain Shawn Dean & Carlie Bravo simply put them outta their misery with Two 2 Da Head?
