With a new captain at the helm, Hisame helps us learn if NOAH can course correct towards friendlier waters. Also, I can stop the metaphors and just let you know that Hisame is a great wealth of knowledge on the most recent happenings in NOAH!

Before I get to Global Junior League 2020, I need to put this news article first…

SEA CHANGE: NOAH HAVE A NEW PARENT COMPANY, AND A NEW PRESIDENT
In a shock announcement on the 28th January, CyberAgent announced that LIDET had sold them their shares in Pro Wrestling NOAH, and henceforth they would become a subsidiary to them, alongside DDT. LIDET had purchased NOAH from Estbee only last year.

The reasons for the change where several, once again NOAH was being drowned by money issues, and while negotiating for a streaming service, CyberAgent has persuaded them that it would be far more feasible for them to let them buy NOAH. Personally, I think the other issues where that LIDET are a company that deal with advertising, and the promotion of wrestling events, they do not have generally the day to day issues of running a promotion, no matter how limitless their funds.

DDT’S President, Sanshiro Takagi, will now become the joint president of both NOAH and DDT, but, the two companies will remain separate, and he is not considering a merger of them. For NOAH he will work on the management side of things. Naomichi Marufuji has once again become Vice president, and NOAH’s former president, Akihiro Takeda, will remain with NOAH as executive officer. Marufuji and Takeda will oversee what goes on in the ring, the NOAH site will remain as it is, and (because I have had many questions), NOSAWA Rongai will remain as booker. LIDET will remain with NOAH as sponsors, and because of this we will not see the green ring return unless it is for the Mitsuharu Misawa memorial shows. Speaking of Misawa, if the very fact that his will has prevailed in Marufuji once again becoming Vice President of NOAH was not eerie enough, Takagi said that he has a debt to Misawa, as when DDT were in their early and difficult days, Misawa gave them a chance by both putting them on NOAH shows, and by appearing on a DDT event with Kotaro Suzuki. More than anything, Misawa could see the wisdom in rather destroying a company, the best thing to do would be to help it. He also knew that kindness can go a long way, and he also understood the difficulties in creating a new promotion, especially in the era he did it as dominated as it was by New Japan and All Japan especially.

Misawa was also a stakeholder in DDT. CyberAgent also announced that they will be proving a semi streaming service for NOAH. Until a VOD is arranged, some NOAH shows will be streamed through Abema. Now, Abema is a Japanese streaming channel, and unfortunately for fans outside of Japan, it cannot be accessed unless you have  a VPN. Other shows will be streamed through “DDT Universe”. I am not sure if they will stream all NOAH shows though.Naturally, the one person who isn’t pleased by this news, is the man who is rarely pleased with anything, preferring like a Roman emperor, to see enemies lurking in the shadows behind every pillar; Kenoh.

Kenoh has already stated that he will protect NOAH from DDT, and has said that NOAH does not need “joke wrestling“. Regarding Kiyoshi Tamura (Kenoh has the bit between his teeth and is refusing to let go), President Takagi has told him quite firmly that if he has time then he will deal with it, if not, stop going on about it, a promotion does not need something that is not there.As this now puts NOAH in direct conflict with New Japan, as CyberAgent are the rivals of Bushiroad, KENTA is now set in opposition with NOAH.

However, fans do hope that as this is NOAH’s 20th year, and he was a big part of NOAH, that he will “come home” just once.

EVENT RECAP
Global Junior League 2020 ~ Finals
Post match interviews

President Takagi announced that NOAH would be streamed through “DDT Universe”. The broadcast was\is free, and was also streamed via NOAH on Periscope. As due to the overwhelming demand, the site came up with an error message. The event on DDT universe can be watched for free here, but I would urge fans to subscribe to the service, especially since DDT will not continue streaming them for free indefinitely.

Fans were a little worried about what they would find, and so there was an atmosphere of uncertainty when they came to Korakuen.

Tadasuke, YO-HEY & HAYATA teamed against STINGER (Chris Ridgeway, Atsushi Kotoge & Kotaro Suzuki), with HAYATA assisting with YO-HEY getting the win, via a kick to the face of Atsushi Kotoge. After the match, YO-HEY made belt challenging motions, and in the backstage interview, he danced around doing Kotoge’s revolutionary fist pose, until Kotoge showed up and yelled at him to stop. Nothing official has been said about a title challenge, but Kotaro did leave the interview muttering how he wished he hadn’t said that he will put the belt on the line against any team.

50 Funky Powers had their match together, and Quiet Storm’s last match in NOAH, against The Anti Wrestlers Alliance (Akitoshi Saito & Masao Inoue). Quiet Storm getting the win via Funky Buster Bomb on Masao Inoue. Then it was goodbye, and an endlessly long hug from Yone.

Hajime Ohara and Daisuke Harada tore the roof of Korakuen Hall by putting on another of their epic much anticipated matches in the semi finals of Global Junior League. They pulled out everything to try and outwit the other, with Hajime Ohara using at one point Misawa’s Emerald Flowsion, and Daisuke Harada, a Tombstone piledriver. This incredibly amazing match, (even by their standards), was won by Daisuke Harada with the Katayama German Suplex in 15 minutes, 45 seconds. Although disappointed, Hajime Ohara wrote on his blog about how much he loved fighting Harada, and wanted to do it again and again and again. Fans want to see it again, and again, and again too. With this win, Daisuke Harada would now go into the finals to face either Dick Togo or Yoshinari Ogawa.

Yoshinari Ogawa and Dick Togo faced off in an incredible semi finals match, which showcased their skills in mat wrestling, technical wrestling and submission holds. Ogawa came out of the match not really wanting to admit that he had been out wrestled, but sensing that like him, Togo was a teacher. Togo, however, came out of the match with the win, he had done the unthinkable and made Ogawa tap. The finals would now be Daisuke Harada vs Dick Togo.

After their match, the five of Kongoh bowed to LIDET’S sign, with Kenoh thanking them (after of course he had ranted against President Takagi). Even Kenoh had to acknowledge that LIDET had been good to NOAH- the increased streaming service, Sumo Hall, the produce shows. However, Kenoh still wants the Budokan. President Takagi said separately that he will think about it, and about the Tokyo Dome too.

Go Shiozaki and Kazuyuki Fujita faced off in a vicious match in a six man tag, with Fujita leaving welts (which the next day turned into speckled bruises) on Go Shiozaki’s neck from stiff strikes. After the match, Shiozaki got on the microphone and did what fans have been waiting for, nominated Fujita as the challenger to the GHC Heavyweight. The match will take place on the 8th March at the Yokohama Bunka Gym.

…then Hideki Suzuki challenged Katsuhiko Nakajima to a singles match, much to Nakajima’s shock. Match has been set for 16th February at Korakuen Hall.

When AXIZ had left the ring, Takashi Sugiura was called back into it by Kaito Kiyomiya, who challenged him for the GHC National, in order to create his “new view” of NOAH. Sugiura told the 23 year old Kiyomiya that in his twenty years of NOAH, he had seen it all – the good things, the bad things, and the things that Kiyomiya better hope that he never ever has to see. Ever. He would give him his title shot, and he named the 25th February in Nagoya (his hometown) as the place. Backstage, he went into grumpy old man mode, saying that he knew he didn’t have youth on his side (Sugiura will be 50 this year), but the old man was tough, and he would never give up. The history of NOAH is turbulent and is filled with highs and lows, and nothing is going to absorb it or change it so easily. Neither was Sugiura, going to be a part of being absorbed into anything.

Daisuke Harada (who had known Dick Togo, but not often had matches with him from his Osaka Pro days) faced off in the finals with Dick Togo in an explosive match. Togo working to grind Harada down by working on his knee, not as technical as the other two matches of the night they had both had, it was memorable nonetheless, and at times it threatened to spill out into a brawl, with Togo in frustration going to use a chair on Harada, but being stopped by the referee. Daisuke Harada won the match, and his second Global Junior League, via Katayama German Suplex in 19 minutes, and 43 seconds. With this win Harada now wins the right to challenge Yoshinari Ogawa for the GHC Junior Heavyweight. NOAH are yet to announce a date.

NEWS

NOAH injuries 
Naomichi Marufuji has had ongoing right knee problems, which he can no now longer ignore. He says he was able to “fix it”,but now the issue means that there is pain on sitting, standing and walking etc, so he will undergo an arthroscopic surgery which will mean he will be absent from the ring from the 7th to 22nd February. He has decided that he will return to the ring on the 24th.

Senior referee, Shu Nishinaga, was injured when he got caught up in a botch between Daisuke Harada and Hajime Ohara, and struck in the face. Nishinaga was able to continue the match, although he seemed dazed, and wasn’t aware for a few seconds at the end, he had to count down Ohara’s shoulders. Taken to hospital after the match he underwent an eye operation as the tear duct had become damaged. Fortunately, he has made a good recovery, and hopes to return soon.

Yoshiki Inamura in Big Japan’s “Strong Climb”
NOAH’s tank, Yoshiki Inamura, has been announced to be taking part in Big Japan;s version of NOAH’s Global League in March. He will enter Block A alongside Big Japan’s tank, Akira Hyodo, Daichi Hashimoto, T-Hawk and Ryuichi Kawakami. Kawakami and Inamura will also meet for the first time in NOAH on the 16th February, when THE TOUGH take on himself and Daisuke Sekimoto.

Inamura says he will be entering the Big Japan tournament as “Yoshiki Inamura from NOAH’s Kongoh”.

Other dates announced
NOAH wrestlers (names to be confirmed) will appear for DDT’S “Peter Pan” in June, in August NOAH will again run Kultz Kawasaki, and in November for the second year running (and this looks to be an annual thing), they will return to Sumo Hall on the 22nd November.

The Great Muta will also be returning to NOAH on the 8th March in Yokohama, with Kazushi Sakuraba returning on the 24th February.

ELSEWHERE IN NOAH
~ Daisuke Harada returned the “Harada Butchers” jacket to his older brother. By Post. No personal hand over or anything, and the parcel contained just the jacket. No note or anything.
~ Takashi Sugiura’s Twitter has been hacked! It happened on the night of the strange clothes (Kitamiya as as a sailor, and Sugiura as what looked either as Tarzan’s Jane, or else a stripper), when the account sent out a couple of strange messages. Fans thought that Sugiura might have been drunk tweeting, but no, it was a hacker. Sugiura has been quiet on social media ever since, BUT, he did manage to get one shot in at Masao Inoue, by writing about “a mans romance, and the behavior of Masao Inoue” in his online diary. This basically means a man who fails to impress women, and Masao Inoue.
~ Chris Ridgeway has returned to the UK. It has not been announced when he will be returning to NOAH.

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:

Or will there be golden tickets handed out left and right?

 

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.

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
