NEW ROH Coverage

Matt Davis is back with his look at Ring of Honor on FITE TV Episode 421 featuring Jay Lethal vs. PJ Black!

Welcome ladies and gentlemen to Ring of Honor television! We open up with the ending of Death Before Dishonor a few weeks ago showing the moment Rush defeated Matt Taven for the ROH World Championship. Ian Riccaboni welcomes us to the episode, recapping that the company crowned two new world champions that night, also showing us that Angelina Love defeated Kelly Klein for the Women Of Honor Championship.

They tell us that tonight we will see PJ Black against Jay Lethal, who was originally scheduled to face Bandido but Bandido was injured at Death Before Dishonor, in our main event. Riccaboni adds that we are going to look at Rush’s brother, Dragon Lee, who says he will make Ring of Honor his new home. The former IWGP Jr Heavyweight Champion was featured in the ROH Six Man Tag Team Championship match at Death Before Dishonor and that’s where we begin

1) The Briscoe Brothers & Dragon Lee vs Villain Enterprises (Marty Scurll, PCO, & Brody King)
ROH SIX MAN TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIPS
“Death Before Dishonor”

We start off in the middle of the action with a Jay Briscoe ripcord neckbreaker followed by Dragon Lee jumping off the top rope onto Brody King with a stomp to the heart, followed by a Mark Briscor Froggy Bow, Jay with a quick cover and Brody King kicks out! Cut to Scurll who tries a superkick to Jay Briscoe but he ducks and Scurll nails King in the jaw! Mark jumps off the apron with a blockbuster to Scurll! Cut to Scurll launching PCO over the top rope to his opponents with a cannonball crushing everyone in sight! Cut to PCO with a cannonball off the top rope across the head and neck of Mark Briscoe extended across the apron! Dragon Lee with a hurricanrana off the apron to PCO, Scurll superkicks Lee off the apron! Scurll looking for the crossface chickenwing which gets a great reaction from the live crowd, but no, Mark Briscoe with an inside cradle..one..two..no! LARIAT BY SCURLL! Double underhook suplex which he calls the Black Plague, he hooks the leg and gets the win for Villain Enterprises!

Winners: Villain Enterprises
Grade: N/A
Thoughts: So… they use this match to tell us about Dragon Lee, who did all of two moves in this brief clipped match. What was the point in that to showcase your newest talent? His team didn’t even win. Whoever runs the production team didn’t think this one through at all. I’m speechless at the logic of that one.

Jay Lethal is backstage talking about how he didnt prepare for PJ Black, he spent time preparing for Bandido for his first round match (don’t forget, in episode #420, they told us that Jay Lethal won this match and will wrestle at Glory by Honor in the semi-finals). He calls PJ Black lucky because he has everything to gain here, being added in at the last second. Jay Lethal says he would love to become ROH World Champion a third time, and he thinks it might just happen.

After a quick ad break, we are back with images of Angelina Love spraying cosmetic product in the face of the champion and getting the pin. Kelly Klein tells us that she’s not done with Love and she is coming for her and she knows where she is! Ian Riccaboni tells us that Kelly Klein will challenge Angelina Love at Glory by Honor. He also tells us that there is a 15 man #1 contender’s battle royal and the winner will face ROH World Champion Rush later that night. He runs down the card some more and tells us we will see Dalton Castle against PCO in the #1 Contender at Final Battle Tournament match, with the winner facing the winner of Scurll vs (Lethal/Black) and reminds us the latter match is our main event as if they didn’t say that less than 4 minutes ago.

We are welcomed to a brief recap of Death Before Dishonor given to us by “Wrestling With Wregret”‘s Brian Zane who is backstage and says he was reeling from DBD and he had the best seat in the house. He says his Top 5 favorite things from Death Before Dishonor were PCO absorbing the cattle prod, Beer City Bruiser being a human dartboard during a Bar Room Brawl with Vinny Marseglia throwing darts into the Bruiser’s back, Lifeblood’s Mark Haskins and Bandido challenging the The Briscoes, and Jay Briscoe ended the match with two Jay Drillers to retain, Jonathan Gresham submitting former two ROH World Champion Jay Lethal, Zane calling Gresham The Octopus of ROH, and his number one favorite moment was Matt Tave agaist Rush. He said Rush led a one man stampede against the leader of The Kingdom, and in the end Taven got the horns. Does anyone really believe him when he says that it was one of the best matches he’s ever seen though? Come on. Come on.

PJ Black is shown backstage, removing his shirt, and says he is very excited for tonight, and that due to injuries, he was able to replace Bandido in the tournament. He says his opponent is one of the best ever, one of ROH’s legends, saying he came to ROH to test himself against guys like Jay Lethal and didn’t think this opportunity could come this early. He says Always Bet On Black when in Vegas, he says all he needs to do is beat Jay Lethal, and then two more men to become ROH World Champion.

We are shown a victory by Coast 2 Coast at an unnamed event, but it happened in Las Vegas in the Sam’s Town Live, when Shaheem Ali pinned Cheeseburger with an inverted uranagi slam. A promo by Coast to Coast follows with LSG telling us that Coast 2 Coast are no longer young boys, and the company will soon recognize that. Ali says if someone has the tag belts, it doesn’t matter who it is, they’re coming to get them, LSG adds that there is a target on the champions back! Ali ends by saying Coast 2 Coast does the most, and they don’t play games.

Backstage at Death Before Dishonor, Quinn McKay stands with “Hotsauce” Tracy Williams as they prepare for his No Disqualification match against Flip Gordon. Williams says that Flip finally gave him what he wanted after months of cheap shots. He says Flip must feel he needs weapons but it won’t matter because he’s going to end this feud tonight, he will not hestitate to end this, and tells Flip Gordon to come prepared, and that he’s going to send Flip Gordon to the shelf for good.

2) Silas Young & Josh Woods vs Coast 2 Coast

This is an exclusive ROH Television match, featuring two teams that are chasing The Briscoe Brothers and a victory here could earn either team a champioship opportunity! Coast 2 Coast makes their entrance first. We are told Silas Young and Josh Woods went undefeated during the Global Wars Tour! We are told Silas Young doesn’t like how “nice” Josh Woods is, but decided to take him under his wings after winning the 2017 Top Prospect Tournament.
Young and LSG start us off, Young with some chain wrestling early on, LSG flips him inside out. Silas Young shows great athleticism with some kip ups trying to escape a wristlock. Multiple cradles for near falls by both men! Tag to Josh Woods with a snapmare, allowing LSG to tag in Ali. The big men square off, as the fans chant “Power Ranger” at Shaheem Ali. We are told wrestling Josh Woods on the mat is a mistake due to his MMA background, as Ali escapes a mount with a rope break as we fade to commercial.

Back to both men still in the ring, Ali trying to wrestle Woods again, Woods reverses a charge attack into a leg cradle for two. Caprice Coleman says that if he were wrestling someone with an amateur background, he’d kick him straight in the mouth. Woods and Young dominating Ali in their corner. Corner to corner splash by Young and tag to Woods, who knocks the wind out of Ali with a knee to the gut for a two count! Ali backs Woods up to the Coast 2 Coast corner as they double team Woods with cheap shots. Woods shoulder first ito the corner, double team slam into LSG’s knees. More double teaming behind the referees back. Woods tries to fight back, but gets driven to his opponents corner again. LSG taunts Young before charging into Woods in the corner. Woods with elbows to both of his opponents, blocks a clothesline into a t-bone suplex to LSG! Woods can’t make the tag as both men down. Both men make tags and Young sends Ali to the outside, clothlining LSG, Ali back in, catches knees to the face by Youg and a top rope assisted suplex for two! LSG with a springboard clothesline. LSG takes down Woods with a lucha tilt-a-whirl bulldog, Ali in and gets a gut wrench powerbomb on Josh Woods! They crush Silas Young in the corner. Woods with a Jumping Knee to Ali! Young blocks LSG off the ropes, backbreaker across the knee into the lariat combination! CHAOS THEORY BY JOSH WOODS! No pin! Young gets thrown outside by Shaheem Ali, Woods and Ali scrap, Woods with a powerslam, no Young catches Ali with a cutter from the elevated position with a double team and gets the win in just over 9 minutes of action.

Winners: Silas Young & Josh Woods
Grade: **
Thoughts: Josh Woods has now been in Ring of Honor several years, and he looks like he just started yesterday. He is crisp when it comes to grappling and takedowns, as that is his amateur background, but overall he is still a very raw product. Coast 2 Coast looked like a great team in the wrong place at the wrong time. They got some nice moves in, but there was no way they were beating Young and Woods tonight.

Backstage at Death Before Dishonor, Matt Taven is shown after the main event walking through the backstage area looking frustrated, tearing his tape off, wondering what’s next for him. We are then shown the end of Colt Cabana against Marty Scurll in the first round of the #1 Contender at Final Battle Tournament, with Scurll winning with the Black Plague. We are shown highlights of PCO defeating Kenny King to advance past the first round after sustaining a cattle prod to the throat, chokeslamming King anyway. Dalton Castle defeated Mark Haskins as well, as the former ROH World Champion won with the a Spinning Clutch Bulldog. We are told you can watch all that match on Youtube! Using a television to plug a Youtube Channel? Well, that’s new.

3) PJ Black vs Jay Lethal
First Round- #1 Contender at Final Battle Tournament

Lethal gets introduced as The Franchise, and he is trying to earn his way back to the championship he lost at Madison Square Garden in April. He is escorted by Jonathan Gresham. Streamers fly over the greatest champion in Ring of Honor history. Both men shake hands to start, giving us the code of honor. Nice.

Black with a standing switch go behind, meanwhile we are told that Gresham does have his manager’s license, because the Nevada State Athletic Commission is strict about that, Lethal and Black tie up into a wristlock, into a Lethal hammerlock. Black picks the lock ad reverses into a cradle for a quick kickout. We are told that Lethal wrestled almost 20 minutes the night before, and that Black is fresh after not competing at Death Before Dishonor. Toehold into a front facelock by PJ Black. Great wrestling here by the South African. Driven to the ropes, Black gives a clean break.

Hard tie up in the ring and Black gets a headlock, multiple leadfrogs by both men, and Black with a leg sweep into a lateral press, Lethal gives his own, arm drags, and a legsweep, Lethal dodges a double stomp and Lethal stares up at PJ Black who says it was that close. They square away again, Vintage Lethal after Lethal tosses Black with a hiptoss into a dropkick combo! Hard chop by Lethal but Lethal on the hunt as he abuses his opponent in the corner with kicks and chops. Lethal blocks a front face lock springboard tornado DDT ad dropkicks the knee of Black, he locks in a Figure Four! Black trying to reach for the ropes! Black has surgically repaired legs after a terrible car accident last year, being repaired with pins and metal rods. Black gets to the ropes, asai moonsault into a reverse DDT and holds on and transitions into a mounted dragon sleeper! Wow!

Snap suplex into a face lock into an stretch plum by Black trying to target the arm that Gresham ripped apart last night. Lethal gets a break and Black with kicks to the spine, cover and gets two, trying to gas Lethal on kickouts. Headscissors takedown into a step through inverted boston crab into a surfboard which he calls the South African Love Bucket as we fade to a break.

Black on top, gets dropkicked in the back by Lethal as he splits himself on the turnbuckle! Both men on top, back elbow by Black, Black threatens a 450 Splash but Lethal blocks with slaps and chops. Lethal now with a superplex but Black blocks. Both men still on top. Lethal with a superplex! Both men down as the referee starts to count. Both men to their feet as they exchange blows. Lethal with a knife edge chop! Black with a chop! Lethal with a chop! Black with a kick, Lethal with a slap, Black with forearms, and a spinning forearm stumbles Lethal. Off the ropes, Black to the apron, springboard dropkick sends Black outside, suicide dive through the ropes connects! Lethal rolls Black inside, Hail to the King OHH YEAHHH, Black blocks! Lethal Combination! Lethal back up top. Elbow smash connects! Hooks the leg and Black kicks out, so close! Both men reaching deep as they’re in the corner, Lethal with rights, Black reverses a whip, SPANISH FLY OFF THE TOP BY PJ BLACK! Two and a half! Springboard Moonsault Press connects– LETHAL KICKS OUT! Black tries the 450, and Lethal out of desperation knocks Black down. Both men up top. Black blocks a superplex with a headbutt. Double axe handle to the neck by Black. Both men fight and both men crash to the mat! PJ Black misses the Placebo Effect, Black blocks the Lethal Injection! Lethal misses the Lethal Injection, Black blocks a third attempt, SUPER KICK BY Lethal! Cutter! Fourth try connects! Lethal hooks the leg and wins in 15 minutes.

Winner: Jay Lethal
Grade: ***
Thoughts: PJ Black was made to look like he could really compete against the best here, as Lethal couldn’t get much without it being countered or blocked on the first attempt. Black has some unique combinations and transitions. Put the TV Title on this guy and let him wrestle every week, wow! I really liked this match, but the result was never in question. It was a proving ground for PJ Black, who proved his worth. Not to mention we were told Lethal won last week when they previewed the Tournament’s semi-finals at Glory by Honor.

Overall Show Grade: 4/10
There’s just so much I can say, with so much going on in wrestling right now, ROH looks to just be in a bad spot. The crowds are pathetic and silent. There’s more crowd noise at joshi events. You can hear one or two fans clapping and cheering, there’s less than a couple hundred people in attendance. This show was all over the place, three weeks after Death Before Dishonor aired acting like it happened the night before (claiming so several times), failing to showcase Dragon Lee in a segment that was supposed to, having their main event match spoiled the week before, and telling us that if we watched ROH on FITE TV, we can go watch more matches on Youtube is ridiculous. The main event saved this show from being a total bomb, but the lack of crowd killed what could have been a special match between great athletes. They tried, but the crowd just didn’t care. You just can’t air these types of shows and expect anyone to care about your product and take it seriously. Last week was much better. I hope there’s better days ahead. I hope.

PLAY BY PLAY

Mark Sterling interrupts the show’s introductions?!

“Smart” Mark issues a verbal cease and desist and says he will take it from here. “Everybody knows that this is Ariya Daivari & Tony Nese, The Premier Athletes! Folks, it took me 20 years of living in this town to realize that it was just East Albany. I gotta tell ya, nothing has ever sprung from this field for a very long time. Especially these losers right here.” Sterling is pointing at the Danhausen cosplayer and their friends. But Sterling says he’s going to let them be part of a winning team for once, unlike the Thunderbirds! So, when Sterling says, “Athletes,” you say, “Rule,” nothing else! Hands in, boys. Ohh… “ATHLETES!” “SUCK!”

The fans got Sterling again! But now they’re joined by their tag partners in tonight’s opening. It’s The Righteous! But it isn’t just good ol’ Dutch & Vincent making their returns to start the show. Matt Taven & Mike Bennett are back and standing alongside Angelico y Serpentico! Will Nese & Daivari be feeling very self-righteous with a win tonight? Or will the fans be justified in saying “Athletes Suck?”

8 Man Tag: The Premier Athletes & The Righteous VS The Kingdom & Spanish Announce Project!

The teams sort out and Angelico starts against Daivari. Nese tries to get the fans to play along again, “ATHLETES!” “SUCK!” Still not learning their lesson… The bell rings, Daivari and Angelico circle, and Angelico still offers the Code of Honor. Daivari says sure, why not. He shakes hands, but then kicks low! Daivari bumps Angelico off buckles, tags in Nese, and the Athletes mug Angelico. “ATHLETES!” “SUCK!!” The Athletes double whip but Angelico grabs ropes. Angelico TOSSES Daivari, BOOTS Nese, then wrenches Nese to tag in #SNAKEMAN! Serpentico goes up, and he DOUBLE STOMPS Nese’s arm!

Sterling protests but SAP double whip, double drop down, and then HIP TOSS for the HIP TOSS SENTON! Serpentico adds a SPLASH! Cover, TWO! Serpentico wrenches Nese, tags in Taven, and the fans cheer Taven as he wrenches Nese to a wristlock. Nese takes a swing, Taven ducks to waistlock, but Nese bucks the O’Conner. But Taven arm-drags Nese! Nese powers up, whips Taven to a corner, but Taven goes up and over. Taven comes back, slides under the hurdle, then DROPKICKS Nese down! The fans fire up, because “IIIII’M! MATT TAVEN!” Taven storms up on Nese, wrenches, and he tags in Bennett.

The fans fire up as Bennett whips Nese into Taven’s BOOT, then ROCKS Nese so Taven can LARIAT! Cover, TWO! Daivari and Sterling protest, “One in, one out!” Bennett keeps Nese from his corner and CHOPS him against the ropes! Bennett whips Nese but Nese grabs the ropes to bail out! The fans boo but Bennett pursues! Bennett pushes Nese back into the ring but Daivari eggs Bennett on. Bennett gives back the trash talk, but then he dodges Nese’s baseball slide dropkick! Bennett DECKS Nese, then he DECKS Daivari! Sterling steps up but Bennett asks, “You want some, too?!” Sterling backs off, but Nese BLINDSIDES Bennett!

The fans boo and Bennett’s team protests, but the ref keeping them back allows Sterling, Daivari & The Righteous the chance to mug Bennett on the outside! The fans boo more, but the ref misses all of this, and Dutch puts Bennett in the ring. Nese covers, TWO! Bennett is tougher than that but Nese tags in Vincent. They mug Bennett, and Vincent DECKS Bennett. Vincent then puts Bennett in the corner to ROCK him, and he tags Dutch. Dutch fires body shot after body shot, then an UPPERCUT! Bennett sits down, Dutch taunts Taven, and Vincent CHOKES Bennett behind the ref’s back! The fans boo but Dutch drags Bennett up to bump him off buckles.

Dutch whips Bennett corner to corner, LARIATS him down, and then covers, TWO! Dutch clamps onto Bennett with a chinlock and he squeezes tight. Bennett endures, the Premier Athletes soak up the heat, and then the fans rally. Bennet fights to his feet, and he JAWBREAKERS free! Dutch staggers, Nese tags in! Nese STOMPS Bennett down, then taunts Taven and SAP! Nese drags Bennett back to have a chinlock of his own. Nese grinds Bennett down but fans chant, “Athletes Suck!” Bennett fights up, fires body shots, and is free! Only for Nese to pick him up and RAM him into the corner! Nese fires off, but Bennett fires back!

Bennett DECKS Nese, then he ROCKS Dutch, ROCKS Vincent, and ROCKS Daivari! Bennett runs up, but DOUBLE LARIATS take him and Nese down! The fans fire back up while Taven and SAP coach Bennett on! Sterling shouts to Nese, both men crawl, and the fans rally up more. Hot tags to Daivari and Taven! The fans fire up as Taven dodges Daivari to SPLASH Nese! Then Taven BOOTS Daivari, and he GAMANGIRIS Nese! HEEL KICK for Daivari! BACKDROP for Nese! The fans fire up and Taven runs to LION- NO, Daivari moves! Taven lands out, and he dodges to SUPERKICK! Then the LIONSAULT! Cover, Dutch breaks it!

The fans boo but Taven and Dutch brawl! Vincent tags in, and The Righteous double whip, only for Serpentico to tag in! Taven stops himself at the ropes, then bails out! Serpentico eggs Dutch on, Dutch runs up, but SAP DUMP Dutch out! Vincent runs up, Angelico GAMANGIRIS! Then Angelico FLYING LARIATS Dutch down! Serpentico arm-drags Vincent, then SUPERKICKS! Then BASEMENT FLATLINER! The fans fire up, but Daivari is back to clinch and URENAGE! But The Kingdom is in, Taven pops Daivari up for the BOSTON BAYONET! Sterling gets on the apron to yell at them, but The Kingdom DOUBLE SUPERKICK him down!

The fans fire up more and Bennett tells Sterling to “SUCK IT!” but The Righteous are back! They CLOBBER The Kingdom from behind! The fans boo, but Serpentico shoves Vincent into Dutch, O’Conner Roll, TWO! BLACKHOLE SLAM!! And then ORANGE SUNSHINE!! Cover, Righteous & Athletes win!

Winners: The Premier Athletes & The Righteous, by pinfall

Sterling celebrates like he and his guys actually did something there. But then the way The Righteous look at them, the Premier Athletes get outta there. Now that they are back, will death walk through ROH, Dutch & Vincent following behind?

 

Nick Wayne speaks.

It was after Spring Breakthru Collision that the Prodigy said, “When you normally see me, I’m always with the family, I’m always with The Patriarchy. But tonight, I did this on my own. I won this on my own! I didn’t need Kip Sabian, I didn’t need Christian Cage, and I sure didn’t need my mother ringside to do things like this! It’s reasons like this why they call me The Prodigy. It’s reasons like this why I’m the future of professional wrestling. ROH just became Wayne’s World, and you’re all just living in it.” Nick did make history all on his own, but we saw last night on Dynamite that Christian Cage is trying to take that from him. Will Nick Wayne finally be his own man?

 

ROH Women’s World Television Championship Proving Ground: Red Velvet VS Ashley Vox!

The Chef is back, and she’s ready to heat the kitchen up again. She knows La Catalina is waiting her turn for a shot at this title, but will Velvet owe another golden ticket? Or is the Reel Catch about to get cooked in ten minutes or less?

The Code of Honor is not upheld as Velvet leaves Vox hanging to smooth her hair. Velvet says sorry, sorry, she’s just kidding around. She offers the handshake again, but then pulls the same joke! The fans boo and Vox is annoyed. Velvet says for real this time, but then Vox grabs Velvet’s hand to make her shake. The bell rings, but Velvet doesn’t let go! She short arm LARIATS Vox and the fans boo! Velvet mocks them, and then she rains down furious forearms! Velvet soaks up the heat, but Vox rolls her up! TWO, and Velvet is annoyed. Velvet CLOBBERS Vox, talks trash, “You think you’re gonna beat me?”

Velvet puts Vox on ropes to CHOKE! The ref counts, Velvet steps off at 4, and then Velvet taunts the fans, and even mocks Vox’s fishhook finger. Velvet winds up, but Vox blocks the shot to HOTSHOT the arm! The fans rally for Vox and Vox ROCKS Velvet again and again! Velvet KNEES low, CLUBS her, then bumps her off buckles. Velvet runs Vox side to side, but Vox blocks and bumps Velvet! The fans rally, Vox whips, but Velvet reverses! Velvet dribbles Vox off buckles, then she lets off. Velvet storms back up to snapmare Vox, push her to a cover, ONE!! Vox shows some toughness, but Velvet kneels on her to CHOKE her!

The ref reprimands, Velvet steps off, and Velvet tells the fans to shut up. Velvet clamps onto Vox with a chinlock and grinds her down. The fans rally, Vox endures, and Vox fights up. Vox arm-drags free! The fans fire up, Vox runs in, but Velvet dodges! Velvet unloads the body shots! The ref counts, Velvet lets off, but then she stomps a mudhole into Vox! Velvet stops at 4, then she digs her boot into Vox! Velvet does the split, she taunts the fans, but she stops as the ref counts again. Velvet swaggers and stirs it up, to then run back in, only for Vox to ELBOW her! Velvet runs up, Vox BOOTS her! Vox goes up, Velvet staggers around, Vox MISSILE DROPKICKS!

Velvet flounders away and the fans rally up. Vox runs, dodges, and KNEES Velvet down! The fans fire up as Vox holds up the hook! But Velvet BOOTS the hook away! Vox dodges to HEADBUTT! And then she reels Velvet in, for the FISH HOOK! Vox ripcords and LARIATS! Cover, TWO!! Velvet survives and Vox can’t believe it! The fans rally, but time is on Vox’s side! Vox stalks Velvet, brings her around, fisherman, but Velvet wrenches out! Velvet dodges the lariat, and she DECKS Vox!! Cover, Velvet wins!

Winner: Red Velvet, by pinfall (denies Ashley Vox a title opportunity)

That punch might as well have been a knockout, but The Chef is- interrupted by La Diva del Ring! Catalina is here, and she signals that she’s gonna have that belt. The fans cheer as Catalina steps up to Velvet in the ring, and the two talk a bit of smack. When and where will Catalina be on the menu with Red Velvet?

 

ROH announces entrants for the Women’s Pure Championship Tournament!

Leila Grey says listen up, because she has some exciting news! The Last Baddie Standing is officially in the tournament! And it is about time she has her name added to the history books. Go ahead and underestimate her, but don’t get it twisted. A tournament means opportunity. And Deonna Purrazzo says this is the perfect opportunity for her. If we’re talking the inaugural ROH Women’s Pure Champion, who better than The Virtuosa? Because when you think women’s wrestling and ROH, you think Deonna Purrazzo. There is not another woman in this tournament who has done what she’s done!

But then Taya Valkyrie says, “Pure class, pure perfection, pure style. I just knew this championship was made for me. And when you think of ‘pure,’ you think of Taya! I am the epitome of a rule follower. I will be an awfully good girl and take myself all the way to the end.” Taya does note that her partner, Deonna, will be in the tournament, too. How amazing it would be for a perfectly Pure Vendetta finals? That sounds absolutely delicious. But Deonna warns Taya. The best pure technical women’s wrestler will win this, and we all know who that will be. The Virtuosa clearly thinks herself ahead of La Wera Loca, but who will be the very first ROH Women’s Pure Champion?

 

8 Man Tag: Shane Taylor Promotions VS Mark Briscoe, AR Fox & Top Flight!

Speaking of Pure Championship titles, Lee Moriarty still has his, but he, The Infantry and Shane Taylor himself want all the gold! Will they finally get closer to dominating ROH? Or will the Sussex County Chicken, the Whole Fox’n Show and the Martin Brothers all #ManUp and get themselves some title opportunities?

The fans cheer on Top Flight, and then the teams sort out. Mark starts against Shane, but Shane SPITS on the Code of Honor! The fans boo, the bell rings, and Mark asks, “It’s like that?” Shane says yeah, it’s like that! The forearms start flying! They go back and forth, faster and faster, and the fans fire up! Mark ROCKS Shane, then bobs ‘n’ weaves to fire more forearms! Mark runs, but Shane swings! Mark ducks ‘n’ dodges, then CROSSBODIES, but Shane catches him! Shane shakes his head, pops Mark up, but Mark slips free! REDNECK KUNG-FU UPPERCUT! Then a ROLLING ELBOW! Mark runs, but Shane CLOBBERS him!

Lee tags in, but so does Fox. Fox kicks, Lee blocks and KICKS, but Fox ENZIGIRIS! Fox runs, but Lee GAMANGIRIS! Lee fires up and the fans are torn. Lee wrenches Fox, tags Carlie Bravo, they double whip. Fox holds ropes, DUMPS Lee out, then TOSSES Carlie! Fox sweeps the legs! Fox runs and SLINGSHOT STOMPS Carlie, to then CROSSBODY Lee! The fans fire up for Fox and he goes back to the ring. Fox trips Carlie up, then MOONSAULTS onto Lee! Fox goes back up the corner, and he SWANTON BOMBS onto knees! Carlie saves himself, then gets Fox into the corner. Tag to Dean and Carlie feeds Fox to a clinch!

Dean lifts, Carlie helps out, BOOSTED URENAGE! Cover, TWO! Fox is tougher than that, but Dean stays between him and his team. Dean stalks Fox, then he RAMS Fox into the STP corner again. The whole team mugs Fox! The fans boo, Carlie says that’s how it is! Dean tags Carlie, and Carlie stands Fox up for more shots! Carlie tells the fans to shut up, then he CHOPS! And CHOPS again! Carlie fireman’s carries, then he spins to GUT BUSTER DROP! Cover, TWO! Fox survives but Carlie keep shim down with a chinlock. Fox endures, the fans rally, and Fox fights around. Fox fires body shots, but Bravo CLUBS him!

Fox reaches for his corner, Bravo kicks Fox, but Fox still fights! Bravo ROCKS Fox, kicks and reels him in, but Fox suplexes first! ANARCHY! Both men are down and the fans fire up again! Fox and Bravo crawl, hot tags to Dean and Darius! Darius CLOBBERS Dean, BLASTS Lee, then fires hands on Dean! Darius whips, Dean reverses, but Darius atomic drops! Then he BULLDOG HOTSHOTS! BOOT for Bravo! GAMANGIRI for Dean! Lee lurks and grabs a foot! Darius kicks free, Shane tags in, and Darius steps in, into a HAYMAKER! Shane hauls Darius up, and he URENAGES! Shane talks trash, then SPLASHES DOWN! Cover, TWO!!

Darius survives but Shane drags Darius up. Shane puts Darius in a corner, and CHOPS! Dean says, “That’s a man right there! That’s a man!” Darius comes back to CHOP, CHOP, and CHOP! ROLLING- NO, Shane ducks, bobs ‘n’ weaves, then HEADBUTTS! Tag to Bravo and they stomp Darius. Tag to Dean, he sends Carlie in for a SPLASH! Then “Psyche!” Dean sends Carlie back in for another SPALSH! Dean runs, but into Darius’ SPANISH FLY! Both men are down, they flounder, hot tags to Lee and Dante!

A big win for this rough ‘n’ tumble unit! Will this momentum help all four men head for titles? Will Top Flight at least be in good shape going into their Tornado Tag Match with The Cru?


My Thoughts:

A very good ROH that clocked in at about 46 minutes, a great runtime. Also, I like that for what was advertised, they lumped together the two returns of The Kingdom and The Righteous with that 8 Man Tag. It works especially given the history of The Kingdom VS The Righteous, which I kinda hope they revisit as both teams wait on the ROH World Tag Team Championships. Because as it stands, The Sons of Texas are going to continue their reign until ROH & AEW are back in Texas for both Supercard of Honor & All In.

Speaking of which, that schedule change has yet to be addressed in terms of the ROH Women’s Pure Championship, which was meant to start with Supercard of Honor, back when it was only going to be a couple weeks away in May. Now that it’s in July… Well, pfft, Tony Khan’s bad pacing of the women’s midcard might still work out where this tournament goes all the way from May into July and the inaugural champion is crowned for Supercard of Honor: Texas. Bad pacing aside, good promos from Leila, Taya and Deonna. It is rather interesting Taya and Deonna are both in this tournament, but I feel like they won’t even meet. Also, feels like TK ran out of ideas for The Vendetta, because again, the bad pacing and bad creative.

Velvet VS Vox was good, but of course Velvet won. Catalina showing up was a natural move, too, and who knows when her match with Velvet happens as they didn’t establish anything. As I just got through criticizing, the pacing of the women’s midcard is not the best, so it might be a few weeks before these two have their match. Not sure why, as I don’t exactly see Velvet losing the title. And very good 8 Man Tag main event with Briscoe, Fox & Top Flight getting a very good win. It’s a bit of a shame as I feel STP really should start moving up the ranks, but I suppose Shane Taylor can still get singles wins, or even just confront Bandido over the ROH World Championship.

My Score: 8.7/10

Lee sits up in shock, a bit of a bloody nose going, and he’s frustrated with another loss. Sammy still offers respect, but Blake CLOBBERS Sammy! Blake & Lee beat up on Sammy, but here comes Dustin! The fans fire up as The Natural rushes back out here! Dustin still has gas in the tank and he fires HAYMAKER after HAYMAKER on Lee & Blake! The fans fire up as Dustin stands by his brother in arms. But then MXM TV ATTACK! They beat up on Dustin & Sammy, soak up the heat, but the Von Erichs rush out here! Marshall & Ross fire off on MXM TV like earlier, but then Lee & Blake join in, this is 5v4!

The fans boo as the Sons of Texas get beat up! SHINING WIZARD for Dustin!! Blake stands on Marshall’s head, Johnny snatches one of the ROH World Tag Team Championships now! Another theft of a belt, but MXM makes Sammy watch as Johnny CLOBBERS Dustin with the belt!! Sammy gets free and covers up Dustin, but Johnny BOOTS him, too! The champions are down, the fans boo, but MXM TV, the Vanilla Baby and Big Shotty stand tall. Will the days of Dustin, Sammy & The Von Erichs on top numbered now?

 

After The Dark Order win…

The Frat House makes their entrance for their match, but uh, it isn’t just Jacked Jameson, Preston Vance, Griff Garrison & Cole Karter. Are these three new guys in the Frat House merch shirts… “Pledges?” Evil Uno & Alex Reynolds don’t know what to make of this, but then Jameson has a mic. “Listen up, Dark Order. You used to be the biggest group in AEW. And now it’s just the two of you losers. Meanwhile… Shut up! The Frat House has become so popular, we’ve got people dying to be in our group! If I say, ‘chug,’ they chug!” And in fact, these pledges do chug. And if Jameson says fight, they fight for their lives! “Because win or lose, we booze!”

The Pledges know that when Jameson says “win,” the Frat wins, and they lose. W-What? The Pledges turn around, and they get CLOBBERED! Vance, Karter & Griff THROW these guys around! Vance DECKS Love Doug, Karter TOSSES TJ Crawford, and Vance CLOBBERS Charles Mason! Vance takes a bow while Griff HEADBUTTS Doug, and Jameson holds up the paddle! Uno & Reynolds come back with chairs, but only to sit and watch what The Frat House is about. Well, Karter TOSSES Crawford, Griff puts Doug in the ring, and this is still a match? The bell rings, so yes.

The Frat House VS Love Doug, TJ Crawford & Charles Mason!

Griff tags Karter, Karter tags Vance, and Karter whips Doug to the corner. Vance & Griff BOOT SANDWICH, then feed to Karter’s DROPSAULT! The fans boo, Uno & Reynolds mockingly applaud, but Mason runs in! But he gets a DOUBLE FLAPJACK! Crawford runs up, but into a SPINEBUSTER from Vance! The Frat House taunt the Dark Order, but Doug throws hands! The fans rally but Griff KNEES Doug low! Then Griff & Vance ROLLING ELBOW SANDWICH! Karter hits a KNEE! IVY LEAGUE FOREARM from Griff! DISCUS LARIAT from Vance! Cover, The Frat House wins!

Winners: The Frat House, by pinfall

It seems the match wasn’t enough, The Frat House are beating up on the “Pledges” for no reason! Uno & Reynolds bring the chairs into the ring! They run The Frat House outta here, but Vance mocks them all the same. Uno says yeah, he’s so strong doing that to these guys, huh? When and where will The Dark Order prove they’ve still got what it takes?

 

Sit-down interview with Serena Deeb & Queen Aminata.

Lexy Nair sits down with The Professor of Pro-Wrestling and the One True African Queen, with a very familiar shape underneath a red cloth. Lexy has some very exciting news. For the first time ever, ROH is announcing a WOMEN’S PURE CHAMPIONSHIP! The belt is revealed, and with it, a Women’s Pure Rules Division is born! Lexy continues to say that the Men’s Pure Championship has a rich history, a star-studded list of champions, from Samoa Joe to Bryan Danielson to Nigel McGuinness, Katsuyori Shibata, Wheeler Yuta, Daniel Garcia, and of course, the current champion, Lee Moriarty.

Now, tonight, ROH announces a tournament to crown the inaugural Women’s Pure Champion, and these two are here because they will be the very first match of said tournament! To start with Serena, a Pure Rules match should be in the favor of the Professor, shouldn’t it? Serena says yes, she is currently the best pure technical wrestler on the roster, everyone here knows it. Whether they like it or not, all the fans know it. So this title right here, that was practically created for her. Is she the favorite? Of course she is! And her playbook, her bible of technical wrestling, is not just the list of 1000 holds but it is her life’s work.

Would Aminata like this? Probably not since she turned Serena down last time. This is 20 YEARS of Serena’s sacrifice, her experience, and her knowledge. Something Aminata’s generation knows nothing about! Aminata can’t even begin to fathom the sacrifices Serena has had to make. She wrestled all over the world. Wherever Aminata wants to go, Serena’s already been there. Would Aminata call herself a Pure Wrestler? In what world? Serena is going to stretch the respect out of Aminata at Supercard of Honor. Aminata will respect Serena, she will respect Serena’s business, and she will respect the Book of 1000 Holds.

Aminata says she knows going into this match, she is the underdog. And that is fine. She does not have 20 years of experience. But one thing she has, is that every single time she steps in the ring, she learns, she grows, and she gets better. And better, and better, and better. It isn’t about how many times you get knocked down, but about how many times you get back up. Every single time Aminata gets back up, you know she gets back up swinging like her life depends on it. That is because she believes in herself. Deep down in her heart, Aminata is already a champion. Be careful what you wish for, because Aminata may have learned more than what you think. This student is now going to be the master.

Lexy says may the best woman win. Who else will be entered into this historic championship tournament? And will it be the Professor or the Queen that comes away with the title in the end?

 

Six Man Tag: Atlantis Jr, Fuego & Esfinge VS Euforia, Barbaro Cavernario & Zandokan Jr!

Well, turns out we’re getting more CMLL lucha libre featured here on ROH! Fitting as AEW Grand Slam: Mexico was announced for June 18th! But will the trio of water, fire and sphinx win again? Or will bringing in the Lucha Pirate help The Colossus and the Caveman finally stand tall?

Esfinge sits down, Zandokan stands on him!

The ref reprimands as Zandokan also pulls at the mask. Zandokan stops, Esfinge bails out, and Atlantis storms in! But Barbaro kicks him first! Barbaro ROCKS Atlantis, then he and Euforia double whip. Barbaro runs in, but into a scoop BACKBREAKER! Zandokan CLOBBERS Atlantis, but Esfinge and Fuego both get in! They dodge Euforia and Zandokan, then Esfinge gives Fuego the boost to DOUBLE DROPKICK! Euforia & Zandokan tumble out, Barbaro LARIATS Esfinge! Barbaro fires hands on Fuego, runs, but Fuego goes Matrix! Fuego stands, does his dance, and the fans fire up! Fuego RAMS Barbaro, spins to POSE! Then spins to POSE!

Fuego runs now, then flips over Barbaro to arm-drag! The fans fire up but Euforia returns. Fuego dodges him, shoves him, hurdles over and rolls back to go up and arm-drag again! Fuego keeps moving, jumps up, but Euforia stops the rana! Euforia swings Fuego back up to POWERBOMB! Esfinge runs up, he and Euforia dosido, and Esfinge sends Euforia to the corner. Euforia goes up and over, but Esfinge DREAMCAST KICKS! The fans fire up, Esfinge runs at Euforia in the corner, MONKEY FLIP! The fans rally as Esfinge runs in, but Euforia blocks the monkey flip! Esfinge BELL CLAPS then MONKEY FLIPS!

Euforia bails out, Zandokan runs in, but Esfinge dodges to SUPERKICK! Esfinge fires up and the fans are with him! Esfinge runs up, but no monkey flip! Zandokan ALABAMA SLAMS!

Atlantis GAMANGIRIS again! The fans fire up, but Euforia trips Atlantis!

Euforia BOOTS Atlantis, then he and Zandokan soak up the heat. They and Barbaro mug Atlantis on the ropes, and they go after his mask! The fans boo and the ref counts, so the rudos whip Atlantis to DOUBLE HIP TOSS into a TRIPLE POWERBOMB! Euforia drags Atlantis around, and he’s pulling at the mask! The fans boo, the ref counts, Atlantis holds on for dear life, but Euforia stops to tag Barbaro. Then a tag to Zandokan, and they whip Atlantis to a corner. Euforia runs up, Atlantis dodges, and Euforia POSTS himself! Atlantis runs up, and uses Zandokan to get up and RANA Barbaro! Then Atlantis dodges Zandokan to tilt-o-whirl RANA!

Atlantis runs, and he handsprings to DOUBLE ARM-DRAG! The fans fire up, but then Zandokan y Barbaro DOUBLE DROPKICK Atlantis out! Fuego y Esfinge run in and DOUBLE RANA! The fans fire up as now Fuego builds speed, and Esfinge gives him a boost, to the apron? Because now Fuego holds the ropes open for Esfinge to DIVE onto Zandokan! Fuego ASAI MOONSAULTS onto Barbaro! Atlantis has Euforia for a SNAP POWERSLAM! And then he goes right up the corner, for a FROG SPLASH!! Cover, Team Atlantis wins!

Winner: Atlantis Jr, Fuego & Esfinge, by pinfall

Another trio match, another win for Atlantis and his amigos! Will this same energy fill all of Arena Mexico when AEW & ROH visits CMLL for the Summer?


My Thoughts:

A very good episode of ROH at just over an hour, but Tony Khan’s doing too much. And I don’t mean the ROH Women’s Pure Championship, that is great to have. But I hope we aren’t only getting Aminata VS Deeb for Supercard of Honor, we need the whole opening round. TK’s pacing with the women’s division is pretty bad, so hopefully we can crown a champion at like Death Before Dishonor in July as opposed to some time in December. Also, like, Aminata VS Deeb should’ve happened before this to hype this match as a rematch but again, bad pacing.

Great stuff with more luchadores tonight, and bookending with Bandido & Komander winning over Infantry and then another CMLL main event was good stuff. I do appreciate Shane Taylor himself is clearly making a move on the ROH World Championship, that’ll be a good feud with Bandido. Good stuff with this Dark Order VS Frat House build, especially taking what was a squash match and making it feed story. I really hope the big moment in this is the Dark Order getting back some members. John Silver is still recovering from a torn hamstring, but maybe he can return, and then they can bring Stu Grayson back for just one more match to take the fight to the Frat boys.

And very good stuff with the Sons of Texas tonight. They all won their matches, which makes sense, but it looks like they could end up in a big 8 Man Tag, or even a 10 Man if Dustin and team can recruit another Texas wrestler. One way or another, I feel like all the belts should be on the line to really add something to this.

My Score: 8.7/10
