ROH Women’s World Championship Proving Grounds Match: Athena VS Lady Frost!

The Fallen Goddess keeps knocking down those put in front of her, and she doesn’t look to be stopping any time soon! Will the ten minute time limit be more than enough to eclipse another challenger? Or will her hot streak finally be cooled off by The Coolest Wrestler You’ll Ever Meet?

The Code of Honor is upheld but with tension as Athena is annoyed with the fans. The bell rings and we’re on the clock as the two circle. They approach, Frost gets around to a waistlock but Athena switches to headlock. Fans rally for Frost but Athena hits a headlock takeover. “Frost who?!” Frost still fights to a headscissor but Athena shrugs it off. They stand, Frost powers out, but Athena wrenches and whips. Frost ducks ‘n’ handsprings but Athena dodges.  Athena runs but Frost dodges the shotgun! Athena swings, Frost dodges and handsprings again, to headscissor Athena to a corner!

Fans fire up with Frost and she RAMS into Athena! And RAMS in again! Frost whips corner to corner, Athena reverses but Frost goes up, only for Athena to KICK her out of the air! Athena throws Frost into ropes and Frost falls back, Athena SENTONS! Cover, TWO! Athena is annoyed and she kicks Frost in the side. Athena digs a knee into Frost’s back and bends her backwards with the chinlock, but Frost endures so Athena throws her down. Athena stomps Frost to the corner while fans boo. Frost pushes Athena but Athena CLUBS her down! Athena pie faces Frost, pushes her around, and laughs at her.

Frost throws body shots! Fans rally as Frost fires off, runs, but into a scoop and BACKBREAKER! Athena bends Frost with a backbreaker rack but Frost still endures. Frost throws hands but Athena scoops her for a GUTBUSTER! Fans rally for Frost as she crawls to a corner, but Athena storms up. Athena stands Frost up but Frost forearms! Athena forearms back, but Frost gets the edge! Frost kicks a leg out, Athena ducks the buzzsaw but the HEEL KICK gets her on the return! Athena goes to a corner, Frost runs in and GAMANGIRIS! Frost sits Athena down, goes corner to corner, handspring CANNONBALL!

Frost puts Athena in the drop zone, goes up the corner, but Athena gest up to trip her up! Frost falls into a Tree of Woe, and Athena KICKS away on her back! Athena then BENDS Frost against ropes in a Tree of Woe Camel Clutch variant! The ref counts, Athena lets go to argue with the ref. Athena then goes back to Frost, drags her up, and she taunts her. Athena slaps Frost around, but Frost shoves back and SCREW HIGH KICKS! Frost puts Athena back in the drop zone, goes back up top, and fans fire up for the TWISTING MOONSAULT! But Athena flounders to ropes! Frost grabs at Athena as fans rally up!

Athena holds the ropes, Frost YANKS her up, but Athena lands on her feet to ROLLING ELBOW! Cover, Athena wins!

Winner: Athena, by pinfall (denies Frost a title match)

The Fallen Goddess rains down fists on Frost as payback for pushing her so far! Athena runs the ref off, gets the title belt, and SMASHES Frost on it! Athena grins then snarls, her mean streak growing along with her win streak. Will anyone ever stop her reign of terror?

 

The Kingdom speaks.

Mike Bennett says, “This… This is Ring of Honor. This was built on respect. On honor. Those three letters, they mean something to us.” Matt Taven says, “Final Battle was supposed to be our moment, it was supposed to be our rematch against The Briscoes for the titles that we lost against them in 2001. We finally came back to a new era of honor, and we’re not given what we deserve. Instead, we got Top Flight.” Mike says this is about family and the place THEY built. Mike is “sick and tired of watching these little kids like Top Flight and Action Andretti showing up and using OUR company as a step stool. At every chance they get, they steal OUR moment!”

Taven says instead, they got disrespected! And at Supercard, when it was their moment to show respect to their friend, Top Flight took that from them, too! It was their time to #ReachForTheSky and take back what is theirs, but EVERY team in that match stole that from them. As long as they live, they’ll never get that moment back. Maria says Jay Briscoe gave Maria respect! Jay gave Maria the revival of her career. So for someone to take moments away from The Kingdom, that is something she will NEVER forget. The trend of teaching Melvins lessons is going to continue until they get revenge on every team that was in that ladder match!

They are the Kingdom, and that means something to them. When they built this kingdom, no one respected them. There was no honor for the Kingdom, but they built up brick by brick what they are today. And all the teams they’ve faced along the way, from the Young Bucks to the Briscoes, they’re part of that kingdom. Of Maria’s Kingdom! When you talk about ROH, you’re really talking about something The Kingdom built. So whoever they face in the new era, they will be taught what ROH means. If you don’t give The Kingdom the honor they deserve, the Kingdom will take it! The Kingdom will show you what it means to be part of ROH!

This is the OGK, put respect on the names! Everyone else is a stepping stone in their kingdom! They are OGK, they are The Kingdom, but will they soon be tag team champions?

 

Rush & Preston Vance w/ Jose VS The Infantry!

El Toro Blanco y Perro Perigroso are representing for La Faccion Ingobernable, looking to make ROH tranquilo. Will they succeed in their mission? Or will Carlie Bravo & Captain Shawn Dean march up the ranks of the ROH Tag Division?

LFI fist bumps, and Vance starts against Carlie. Carlie offers the Code of Honor handshake, but Vance just flips him off and RAMS him into the corner! Vance lets off, to CHOP! Vance mocks the salute, takes a bow, but turns around into CHOP after CHOP from Carlie! ROLLING ELBOW! Carlie runs, but Vance BOOTS him down! Vance again raises the fist for LFI, and fans rally up. Vance bumps Carlie off buckles, CHOPS, then stomps away! Vance whips Carlie corner to corner, runs in and clotheslines! Then whip the other way, for another clothesline! And then back the other way, but Carlie BOOTS back!

Carlie runs, but into a SPINEBUSTER! Vance raises the fist again, then sucker punches Dean! Fans boo but Vance just soaks up the heat. Vance drags Carlie up, and into the TOP TEN FULL NELSON! Carlie endures, but Dean trips up Rush! Dean then gets in to RAM Vance! Dean CHOPS! The Infantry DOUBLE CHOP! They double whip, Vance breaks through the line to DOUBLE LARIAT! Fans rally, Vance puts Carlie in a corner and Dean in the other. Vance runs in to clothesline Dean! Vance runs corner to corner to CHOP! Vance raises the fist again, Dean staggers into the DISCUS LARIAT!

Carlie kicks low! Carlie runs, but into the DISCUS LARIAT! Vance covers, but he sits Carlie up!? Vance says his “hermano” Rush is getting his turn! Vance puts Carlie in a corner, tags Rush in, and fans rally up as Rush runs, for the BULL’S HORNS!! Cover, LFI wins!

Vance proved he is truly a dangerous dog, and he drags Dean in to put beside Carlie. LFI stands tall over them, will LFI hunt down those ROH Tag Team Championships?

 

Best Friends VS Joe Ocasio & Mookie Summers!

Trent Beretta & Chuck Taylor are trying to get up to some gold to match with Orange Cassidy, and now they’re battling in the ROH Tag Division! Will they find themselves climbing those ranks against The Undeniable and The American Draco?

The Code of Honor is skipped as Trent starts with Joe. They tie up, Trent puts Joe in the corner, but lets off as the ref counts. Joe sucker punches him! Joe stands Trent up to ROCK him with a right, then fire off body shots! Joe talks trash as he gets in Trent’s face, then wrenches and whips corner to corner. Trent hits buckles but comes back with a BUSAIKU KNEE! Joe staggers up, Trent reels him in, SAIDO! Trent stalks Joe, stands him up, and fires forearms and CHOPS! Trent fires off more forearms, the ref counts as he has Joe on the ropes, and Trent lets off. Fans fire up, Trent runs in and SHOTGUNS Joe out of the ring!

And then, PILEDRIVER! Joe writhes, Chuck brings him up, for another PILEDRIVER! The Best Friends then focus on Mookie, Electric Chair and Trent climbs, DOOMSDAY KNEE-VICE! Cover, Best Friends win!

Winners: Best Friends, by pinfall

The Code of Honor is upheld in the end as Trent shakes Joe’s hand, then shakes Mookie’s hand. Chuck follows suit, and then Best Friends HUG! You GOT to give- Oh, wait, wrong brand. But will Best Friends get what they want in an ROH Tag Team Championship match?

 

Brian Cage w/ Prince Nana VS Leon Ruffin!

The Machine has been on a run, especially as part of the ROH World Six Man Tag Team Champions. But will he continue to win for the Mogul Embassy? Or can the undeterred underdog find a way to stop the Path of Cage?

The Code of Honor is upheld, the bell rings, and Cage RAMS Ruffin right into a corner! Cage RAMS into Ruffin again and again, then CHOPS! Ruffin staggers to a corner and Cage stalks him. Cage whips Ruffin corner to corner, then runs in to SPLASH! Cage wrenches, clinches, and OVERHEAD Belly2Belly suplexes! Fans fire up and Cage flexes. Nana says Cage is the man!

Cage still holds Ruffin up so Ruffin keeps throwing knees!

Ruffin finally gets free, waistlocks, but Cage elbows free! Cage whips, Ruffin goes up and out, and Cage runs in, into a GAMANGIRI! Ruffin goes up and up and CROSSBODIES, but Cage catches him with ease! Cage does some bicep curls, before the POWERSLAM! Cage says Ruffin’s done! Cage toys with Ruffin, flexes, and then brings Ruffin back up. Cage fireman’s carries, for the F- DDT!! Ruffin turns things around on Cage and Nana freaks out! Ruffin goes to the apron, Cage runs in, into another GAMANGIRI! Ruffin goes up and around and under, but still gets caught! Ruffin throws elbows, but Cage back suplexes!

Ruffin lands on his feet! Ruffin then leapfrogs over Cage, goes up the corner, to FLYING CUTTER! Fans fire up with Ruffin and Nana is freaking out even more! Ruffin aims at Cage from the corner, runs in, into a LARIAT!! Cage drags Ruffin back up, to POWERBOMB! Deadlift POWER BREAKER!! And then the TEXAS CLOVERLEAF!! Ruffin taps, Cage wins!

Winner: Brian Cage, by submission

The Machine made the underdog pay for fighting so hard, and Nana mockingly shakes Ruffin’s hand. Will anything stop Cage and the entire Mogul Embassy from ruling ROH?

 

The Dark Order VS The Trustbusters w/ Slim J!

Evil Uno & Stu Grayson aren’t sweating The Righteous always creeping around, they just want to go for tag title gold. Will they start on that journey in the Steel City? Or will Sonny Kiss & Jeeves Kay make that money for Daivari Dinero?

But wait, speaking of The Righteous, they make their way out now! They have chairs, but just to sit on stage and watch this. Jeeves takes advantage of this distraction and blindsides Uno! The bell rings as Jeeves kicks Uno and stomps away! Stu protests but there’s nothing he can do as Jeeves stands Uno up to UPPERCUT! Jeeves whips, Uno reverses but Jeeves slides to DROPKICK! Jeeves UPPERCUTS in the corner, snapmares, and then goes up for the FALLING UPPERCUT! Cover, TWO! Jeeves keeps on Uno with another snapmare, then he tags in Kiss. Kiss slingshots to SPLIT on Uno! Cover, TWO!

Kiss taunts Stu, Stu gives the trash talk back, and Kiss handsprings to SLAP Uno! Tag to Jeeves, Jeeves taunts Stu now, then Jeeves runs in, into a BOOT! Uno ELBOWS Kiss, ROCKS Jeeves, repeat! Uno reaches for Stu but Jeeves holds him back! Uno powers forward, but Kiss runs in to jump on Uno with a SLEEPER! Uno still stays up, SNAP SUPLEX SENTON COMBO! Fans fire up as Uno crawls away from the Trustbusters, hot tag to Stu! Stu rallies on the Trustbusters, spins Kiss to an OVERHEAD Belly2Belly then kips up! Fans fire up, Jeeves CHOPS, but Stu doesn’t flinch. Jeeves CHOPS again, but still nothing!

Stu eggs Jeeves on, and Jeeves throws a forearm! Stu nods and eggs Jeeves on again. Jeeves swings, into the URENAGE! Stu then LION SENTONS! Kiss gets on the apron but backs off as Stu storms up. Stu fireman’s carries Jeeves, but Jeeves slips free to shove Stu! Uno tags in, Stu whips Jeeves then hurdles. Uno reels Jeeves into a suplex, Stu ROUNDHOUSES before the BRAINBUSTER! Kiss returns to ENZIGURI Stu! Uno avoids the heel kick to ROCK Kiss, and then The Dark Order pops Kiss up into the Electric Chair, toss into the POWERBOMB! Fans fire up as Stu goes to the corner and tags back in.

Uno gets Jeeves up, Stu runs in, PENALTY KICK PILEDRIVER!! Cover, the Dark Order wins!

Winners: The Dark Order, by pinfall

The Righteous applaud, perhaps more for Stu than for The Dark Order. Stu & Uno storm up to the stage to stare down Dutch & Vincent. Will the Dark Order get the Righteous to back off? Or will Stu end up joining them?

 

Backstage interview with Christopher Daniels.

Dasha is with the Fallen Angel and says the last few times we’ve heard from him, he’s been on this quest for victories and for championships. What is next for him on said journey? Daniels says he has to be honest, after 30 years in professional wrestling, Daniels knows what it is like to be at the top of the mountain, and at the bottom of the valley. Right now, Daniels is at one of his all-time lows. He hasn’t had his hand raised in victory as often as he’d like. But because this is ROH, he understands that nothing is just handed to him! Nothing comes easy in an ROH ring!

It doesn’t matter that Daniels is the first-ever ROH Grand Slam Champion! It doesn’t matter that he’s been a tag team champion, it doesn’t matter that he’s been a world champion. Daniels has to earn everything that he wants, everything that he desires, in ROH. He understands that. And he’s not starting at the bottom, doing the baby steps. If he’s gonna swing, he swings for the fences. And so he calls out the ROH World Television Champion, Samoa Joe! Joe and Daniels have “a history that is long and drenched in blood,” mostly Daniels’. They’ve been teammates, opponents, and have fought tooth ‘n’ nail for what they’ve wanted.

Right now, what Daniels wants is on Joe’s waist, is on Joe’s shoulder. Daniels has held the TV title before, but if he wants it again, he has to go through one of the toughest SOBs he’s ever stood across the ring from. Look in Daniels’ eyes. Does he look afraid to do that again? Does he look intimidated to put his name in the hat against Joe? NO! Daniels is ready to go. “Beat me if you can. Make me bleed if you can, Joe. Because I want that World Television Championship, Joe. And I know you’re a fighting champion, Joe, so how about you and I, one-on-one, in a ROH ring, for that TV title, next week?” The Fallen Angel wants after the King, but will he take Joe’s throne?

 

Diamante VS Skye Blue!

The Cuban Diamond has been sharpening her edge in the Dark of AEW, but she’s ready to shine in the light! Will she crush her opponent under the pressure? Or will Skye continue to reach for the sky in her own journey to the top?

The Code of Honor is upheld, the bell rings, and Diamante reels Skye in! Skye dodges to kick but Diamante ducks it! Diamante waistlocks, Skye elbows free, and Skye runs. They RAM shoulders, but Diamante stays up. Diamante eggs Skye on, Skye runs, but Diamante follows to then run Skye over! Things speed up, Diamante tilt-o-whirls, crucifix to sunset flip, TWO! Skye sits on Diamante, TWO! Diamante sunset flips again, TWO! Skye sits again, TWO! Diamante sunsets, TWO! Skye sits, TWO! Diamante, TWO! Skye, TWO! Diamante, TWO! Skye, TWO!! The teetertotter stops and fans fire up while Diamante bails out.

Diamante goes to the apron, Skye runs in but Diamante dodges the boot to ROCK Skye! And then NECKBREAKER HOTSHOT! Skye flops to the apron, Diamante runs and WRECKS Skye with a baseball dropkick! Diamante flexes, then goes out to fetch Skye. Diamante RAMS Skye into the apron, pushes her into the ring, and then drops an elbow! Diamante drops knees on Skye’s back, then bends her backwards with a chinlock. Fans rally and Skye fights up to throw body shots. Skye runs, but into a scoop and BACKBREAKER! Diamante pushes Skye around, stomps her around, then smacks her off the mat! Cover, TWO!

Diamante keeps on Skye with a chinlock and she squeezes tight. Skye endures and fans rally up again. Skye fights up, throws body shots, and she fires forearms! Diamante ROCKS Skye and Skye staggers to a corner. Diamante storms up but Skye ROCKS her! Skye runs up but into a kick! Diamante hops on, Skye pops her off and SHOTGUNS Diamante down! Skye goes corner to corner and runs in, but Diamante puts her on the apron. Skye ROUNDHOUSES Diamante away, goes up top, CROSSBODY! Cover, TWO! Skye grows a bit frustrated, but she runs at the ropes. Diamante dodges, waistlcoks, but Skye elbows free.

Skye switches with Diamante, SHINING WIZARDS and snapmares, but Diamante blocks the superkick. Diamante spins Skye but Skye BASEMENT ENZIGURIS! Fans fire up and Skye sees Diamante go to the apron. Skye joins her out there, drags her up, and reels her in, but Diamante throws elbows! Skye throws forearms but Diamante throws them back! The fans fire up as they brawl on the edge, and Skye gets the edge! Diamante ROCKS Skye, blocks a superkick and ROCKS her again, to APRON GERMAN SUPLEX! Skye flops into the corner, Diamante runs corner to corner to HYDRAULIC DROPKICK! Cover, ROPEBREAK!!

Diamante can’t believe Skye survives, but she says this will end it. Diamante suplexes, Skye slips free to full nelson! Diamante drops, but Skye sits on her, SKYE WINS!

Winner: Skye Blue, by pinfall

The ROH win streak continues for Skye! But out walks Athena, mocking Skye by wearing a baseball cap. Athena takes it off to then STOMP the hat! Skye dares Athena to step to her if she thinks she’s so tough! Will the Fallen Goddess soon put up her gold against the Blue?

 

Rocky Romero VS Lee Moriarty w/ “Big Bill” Morrissey!

The King of Sneaky Style takes on The Firm’s innovator of #TAIGASTYLE in a first-time-anywhere showdown! So if styles make fights, will it be Azucar or Pittsburgh’s own that comes out on top?

Morrissey with a huge assist in this match, The Firm is rolling! But will they survive the coming #FirmDeletion with these kinds of tactics?

 

Rocky Romero speaks backstage.

“Lee Moriarty, you’re the type of talent that ROH, this company, was built on. You’re the type of talent that could be ROH World Champion. And tonight, you out-sneaked the King of Sneaky Style with your seven-foot insurance policy. But I’m not happy with that. No. Next week: Pure Rules match, Rocky ‘Azucar’ Romero against Lee Moriarty. And you can get a pure ass whooping next week!” Rocky is ready to teach Lee a lesson, will there be no helping #TAIGASTYLE get out of this?

Though he lost to the AAA Mega Champion, the #BaseGod impressed everyone. He’s back again this week, will he turn things around? Or will All Heart be too hard to break?

A split second after that three count, Loco kicks out! Loco was so close, but Blake snatches that one away! These two shake hands to uphold the Code of Honor, will we see this one again down the line?


My Thoughts:

A great ROH, but only just over an hour? That’s rather surprising. Though with AEW wanting to bring out another two hour show in Collision, maybe wrestlers who crossover between AEW and ROH are going to be needed to fill out that programming, leaving less available for ROH tapings, and therefore, ROH has to downsize already. And even then, it felt like they stretched things out to fill the hour. The Kingdom’s promo felt like it was a couple lines too long. They could’ve trimmed it down by what ended up a paragraph in this write-up, and it would’ve flowed better. But at least it was them issuing a warning to all the tag teams from the Supercard of Honor ladder match, helping them move on from Top Flight and closer to the tag titles.

Christopher Daniels also had a good promo but it also felt like he was stretching for time. I thought he was going to call out Claudio, which would’ve made sense after what the BCC did to him on Rampage. But at the same time, Samoa Joe really does need more for his TV title reign, and Joe VS Daniels is going to be great stuff. Still kinda wish Mark Briscoe won that title at Supercard. Anyway, really good Proving Grounds match and good win for Athena. Good match between Diamante and Skye, and Skye’s been going strong so her winning made sense. Athena showing up to warn Skye was a bit of a surprise, as I don’t see Skye ready for the title. Athena will surely win, but I guess Skye will get a great showing even in defeat.

Really good tag match for LFI VS Infantry, but wow, I didn’t think Vance was going to basically solo Dean & Carlie. LFI in whatever combination is a good choice for facing the Lucha Brothers, but I feel like this should build to a contender’s match between LFI, The Kingdom, and at least one other team. The Dark Order has a good match with the Trustbusters, with The Righteous’ presence only a moderate distraction. Dark Order VS The Righteous will be more about where Stu goes than the titles, but Dark Order can definitely win to keep Stu and then go for the titles. But even then, I feel like Lucha Brothers beat whoever because it’ll be their first defense that they should definitely win.

Best Friends squash Joe & Mookie, keeping them going in the ROH Tag Division, and maybe they get in on the title conversation. It feels like they’ll be on that list of crossover wrestlers that will go back to AEW full time once Collision starts up. Brian Cage and Leon Ruffin have a really good match, though still pretty quick because Cage is like three Ruffins put together. Not sure why we’re not seeing the Gates of Agony in action after the Embassy retained the Six Man titles. And if they’re backing up Swerve, can we see them brawl with Keith Lee & Dustin Rhodes already? That’s a feud that’s been building far too slowly, but probably because they started with Parker Boudreaux & “Trench,” who were more meat than henchmen.

Good stuff out of Rocky VS Moriarty, but of course Morrissey makes the difference. Rocky had a good promo to call Moriarty out and challenge him for a Pure Rules match. That’ll be really good stuff, and at this point, I feel like the winner of that can face Shibata for the Pure Championship, after we see Shibata VS Coughlin, of course. And really good main event from Blake Christian VS Gringo Loco. It was a lot like looking at a before and after of high-flying wrestler, and I did not expect Blake to win that. Was it a count botch from the ref? Did Loco just lose count himself? Who knows, but I suppose this could make for good “crisis of confidence” story as Loco struggles to get a win now that he’s reached this level of competition.

My Score: 8.6/10

Andrew’s TNA iMPACT! Results & Match Ratings: 5.29.25

Stuff happens, maybe it doesn’t, Dreamer and Delirious can’t book.

Published

on

Well Trick Willie is the new TNA champ and this is the first iMPACT since his win…so let’s just hear him talk about it.

Ratings:

  • The Rascalz vs Fir$t Cla$$ vs Laredo vs The System: Rascalz win via Meteora – ***
  • Raj Singh vs Mustafa Ali: Ali wins via…No Shit – Squash Garbage
  • ASH by Elegance vs Lei Ying Lee: Lei wins via Spinning TKO – ** 3/4
  • Mance Warner w/SDL vs Jobber: Mance wins via Hit the Pay Winda – Squash
  • Santino Marella & Arianna Grace vs Robert Stone & Victoria Crawford w/Tessa: Team Robbie wins via shenanigans – **
  • International Championship: Steve Maclin (c) vs Matt Cardona: Maclin retains via KIA – ***

 

Results:

The Rascalz vs Fir$t Cla$$ vs Laredo vs The System

Octagon got jumped by The System earlier so Laredo is fighting alone. Another backstage jumping is getting a little dumb. 

Laredo and Trey start. Typical Indie start with Simultaneous awful Dropkick spot and bad counters, AJ blind tag runs the smaller guys over, tags out to KC and the Rascalz instantly get the moment. KC is rocked, tags in Laredo and Laredo takes out the System before Lish gets on the apron and grabs Laredo. The referee kicks out Lish and Rehwoldt on commentary points out it’s a No DQ match so that’s dumb.

KC gets tossed at AJ, he catches him, Rascalz Dive and do their taunt as we go to commercial. We come back, Tennessee Whiskey into a KC tag in for the near fall on Laredo. Corner combo, Snapmare into Flip Forward Neck Breaker, KC is on a roll. AJ tags Laredo and starts talking crap to KC, they swerve and go Finger Poke of Doom, but it’s not a legal pin. Suddenly tornado attacks, System and Rascalz go for broke, AJ hits the Senton to break the eventual pin, Laredo counters AJ’s Chokeslam attempt. Trey clears out The System, Wentz sends himself and KC over and out, Laredo with a Corkscrew Moonsault, which looked cool but it’s the pile of morons waiting to get hit spot.

AJ hits the Down Payment on Laredo, but Trey blind tagged AJ. Meteora on AJ, Trey pins Laredo and Rascalz win.

Raj Singh vs Mustafa Ali

Raj looks like shit in the gear he came down in…and he wrestles equivalently. I would rather anyone else comeback…give me Anarquia.

Ali murders Raj, Instant Dropkick, Rolling Neckbreaker, Corkscrew Standing Moonsault, it’s not close. Raj tries to counter things but Ali Bellclap, a little Duck the left, connect the right. Raj even does a terrible looking Punch Combo, he’s in bad shape, a bad looking Ushigoroshi, Raj with a sloppy looking something, 450 ends it.

Fire Raj as quickly as you brought him back. You don’t need a comedically pathetic job guy when the roster is like 4 guys getting pushed and everyone else sucks. Stop being stupid. Ali still hates women too.

This Injury Report is the dumbest segment in the history of wrestling. Stop treating fake shit as “serious business”. 

ASH by Elegance vs Lei Ying Lee

ASH mocks karate stuff, Lei throws a few Rising Crane kicks as ASH bails and then things slow down a little. But a Pump Kick, Sliding Kick and Low Dropkick cause ASH to cower and claim her tooth broke. It’s a bait to pull Lei into the turnbuckles and them get in a few stomps. Ash keeps Lei in the corner, Suplexes her ankles into the buckles and then Ash throws a few Booty Shots/Hit Attacks then starts a grounded stretch, Lei Headscissors her down, still sells the hips and ankles, but dodges and fires, combination strikes into the 10 Count Down Strikes. T-bone Suplex, into the pinfall, for only two.

Cheapshot into Running Meteora from ASH for two. Ash goes for the Miz Yes Kicks and Lei No Sells and asks for more. Gorgeous Capture Suplex into Thunder Struck and TKO with flair. My baby has a better finish now! Yay!

Mance Warner w/SDL vs Jobber

Hannifan cursing and being pissed at Trick for not even showing but is more entertaining than a squash match. Not that Mance’s offense is bad, but 2 out of 3 job matches is stupid.

Santino Marella & Arianna Grace vs Robert Stone & Victoria Crawford w/Tessa

Marella tries to tie up with Robbie, but he bails and tags out to Victoria so Arianna comes in and aside from Alicia Fox’s silliness, the tie up was decent with Arianna and Victoria. Tessa interferes and the Referee throws her out. Victoria comes back in and aside from a slight miscommunication with how Arianna does her punches, Alicia Fox is making her look…pretty good. Transition moves, okay brawling and Arianna looks amazing in her outfit.

Rob and Santino distract the referee and Victoria hits a Figure Four into her Northern Lights Suplex, only for 2. Arianna finally Back Body Drop to find the tag, Santino and Rob, Santino does his split dodge into the Standing Headbutt, Arianna Cross Body onto Victoria. Rob pulls out the ref, then shoves the ref into Santino, Santino into the steps and Arianna attack but Alicia and Lish, the fix is in, Arianna eats the pin.

International Championship: Steve Maclin (c) vs Matt Cardona

A few quick brawl moves, Shoulder Tackles, Strikes, Back Breakers, Cardona does get dumped out and eats a SCUD. Maclin bounces Cardona’s face off the apron and hits an Elbow off the apron to keep Cardona reeling, but a dodged tackle sends Maclin into the steps. Cardona tries to Piledriver Maclin on the ramp, but Back Drop counter, into commercial.

Formulaic commercial etiquette of Cardona still in control, throws Maclin into the ropes, Diving Shoulder Tackle lays both dudes out and they get up by 8. Fighting Spirit spot, Cardona hits ropes and gets hit by Maclin twice, Thesz Press, Ground and Pound, Back Elbow and Olympic Slam has Maclin rolling. Splash into Lariat for two. Maclin has been all gas no brakes. Cardona tries to take a few shortcuts that turns into a Straight Jacket Takedown. Cardona to the top, Maclin cuts him off, Superplex spot. 1-2-kick out!

Maclin goes topside for a Jar Headbutt, Cardona hits the ropes so Maclin crashes into the corner, 2 Reboots connect, the third gets caught, counter into Busaiku Knee, Jar Headbutt. In and out, Cardona uses the middle rope for the Low Blow, Killswitch from Cardona but Maclin kicks out. Cardona dodges and shoves Maclin towards the ref, he puts the brakes on, Radio Silence! 1-2-Kick out! Maclin catches a top rope move, Power Bomb, Corner Splash, Tree of Woe, Caught in the Crosshairs, KIA and Maclin retains!

 

Overall Score: 4.5/10

Boring paint by numbers show, no Trick, System has one move, Robert Stone is a scumbag, too long to introduce new girls, lots of throw away segments and Rosemary sets up YET ANOTHER Monster’s Ball match. These aren’t interesting when there’s one every 3 months. So we can have terrible Monster’s Ball matches quarterly, Barbed Wire Massacre and Clockwork Orange House of Fun…BUT NO LOCKDOWN!?

Go home TNA, you’re drunk.

The Strange Love Connection is the first of the top three to compete tonight, and while he has to hope for the others to fall, he still has to do his part and win.

Sho flounders, the fans rally up, and Mao runs to BOOT Sho! Sho sputters, Mao runs again, CANNONBALL! Cover, TWO! Sho survives, but is now in JUST FACELOCK! Sho endures, fights around, and both Ren & Yujiro are on the apron. But Mao’s team YANKS them down! Sho flails, the bell rings, but it was REN!

Ren CLAWS Kanon’s eyes, runs, but Kanon LARIATS! The fans fire up as the full Strange Love Connection aims at Sho, HIGH LOW LARIATS!! Shunma builds speed and he DIVES! Down go Ren & Yujiro! Kanon & Mao set Sho up, but YOSHINOBU KANEMARU shows up! WHISKEY MIST for Kanon, and the BOTTLE SHOT for Mao! The fans boo as the Heel Master helps screw over the enemies of the House!

Kanemaru shoves the ref in and Sho laughs at Mao! STRAITJACKET DRIVER!! Cover, TWO?!?! Mao survives and the fans fire up! But Sho has the ARMBAR!! Mao flails, fights around, and he stacks Sho! TWO and Sho still has the arm! SNAKE BITE!! Mao fights against the modified triangle, fights his way over, and has the ROPEBREAK!! The fans cheer and Sho lets go in frustration.

Sho tried to stack the deck, but justice was still served! Mao is alive in the block, if only for now. Can he count on Robbie Eagles AND Taiji Ishimori to bring down El Desperado and Yoh?

 

Best of the Super Juniors 32 B Block: El Desperado VS Robbie Eagles!

The Rogue Luchador still has that target on his back, not only because he could go to the finals with his win and Yoh’s loss, but because he is THE IWGP Junior Heavyweight Champion. Could the Sniper of the Skies kill two birds with one victory? Or is Despy about to go back-to-back at the BOSJ finals?

Eagles shows off his Soul of PWA Championship, and makes a point that it is bigger and shinier. Despy says yeah, that’s nice. The fans rally and duel already, and the bell rings. Despy and Eagles circle, the fans rally more, and they feel things out. The fans already start up “ROBBIE ROBBIE ROBBIE!” “OI OI OI!” so Eagles joins in! “ROBBIE ROBBIE ROBBIE!” “OI OI OI!” “ROBBIE!” “OI!” “ROBBIE!” “OI!” “ROBBIE ROBBIE ROBBIE!” “OI OI OI!” The fans applaud, Eagles mocks Despy’s bow and waving arms, then the two tie up. Despy waistlocks, Eagles switches but Despy wrenches. Eagles rolls, wrenches, hammerlocks, but Despy headlocks for the takeover.

Eagles headscissors, Despy rolls Eagles around to then float, but Eagles gets his leg guard up. Eagles wrangles Despy and goes for a leg, but Despy rolls to have a toehold. Eagles kicks Despy down to have the HEEL HOOK! Despy scrambles to the ROPEBREAK! The fans cheer, Eagles lets go, and Despy goes to the apron. Eagles smirks and eggs Despy on.

Eagles CHOPS, puts Despy’s leg in ropes, and pulls! Despy shouts for Red Shoes, Red Shoes counts, and Eagles lets go, to basement 619!

Despy tumbles out of the ring, the fans rally, and Eagles paces. Eagles mockingly calls for Despy, then goes to the outside. Eagles stomps away on Despy’s leg, and then SMASHES it on the floor! Eagles flexes, says hey to Ninja Mack on commentary, then goes for Despy. Despy fires body shots and CHOPS, but Eagles TACKLES him down! Eagles YANKS Despy’s leg, puts him in the ring, then sits him up to step over and tie up the legs! STUMP PULLER! Despy endures and clubs at Eagles’ leg, but Eagles drops back to make this a cover, ONE!! The fans cheer as Despy sits up. Eagles KICKS, KICKS, and KICKS! But Despy blcoks!

Despy spins Eagles, Eagles knees free, then Eagles runs, but Despy dropkicks a leg! Despy grabs that leg for a SHIN BREAKER! The fans fire up while Eagles writhes. Despy has the leg and SPLASHES down on it! Eagles kicks at Despy from the mat, but Despy pushes on a leg to have a toehold! Eagles endures, Despy drags him around, and ties up the legs for an INDIAN DEATHLOCK! Despy slaps his own leg into working, but Eagles sits up to CHOP! Despy eggs him on so Eagles CHOPS again! And CHOPS again! Despy “falls over” and that puts on more pressure! Eagles flails while Despy just lounges. Eagles crawls over, pushes Despy out of his way, and has the ROPEBREAK!

The fans applaud and Red Shoes calls the break. Despy claims he needs help, but Eagles fires hands! Despy lets go, but he kneels on the bad leg! Eagles has the ropes again, Red Shoes counts, and Despy finally stands. Eagles crawls away, but he refuses to let Red Shoes stop this. Despy drags Eagles up but Eagles fires body shots and forearms! Despy KNEES low, but Eagles BOOTS! Eagles whips, Despy reverses, but Eagles fights the spinebuster! Despy KNEES low again, suplexes, but Eagles slips free to CHOP BLOCK and BLINDSLIDE LARIAT! Despy tumbles out, the fans rally up, and Eagles pushes through the pain to DIVE!

The fans fire up with Eagles but he still hobbles on that bad leg. Eagles sees a young fan dressed like him and cheers with him. Eagles then puts Despy in the ring, pounds the apron, and the fans rally up more. Eagles springboards to SNIPER DROPKICK! And then he has the leg to roll Despy into the RON MILLER SPECIAL!!

The Bone Soldier fails, and now Desperado is NOT going to the finals! Desperado will now be on the outside looking in, waiting for his next challenger.

Speaking of which, Kosei Fujita now makes his way out here to be face to face with Yoh. Yoh holds the ropes open for Fujita to step into the ring. Fujita and Yoh get face to face, and Fujita points at the tag title on Yoh’s shoulder, because he also wants that belt. Yoh knows, since he and Wato took it from Fujita & Eagles. But Yoh dismisses Fujita, they’ll meet again on June 1st. Yoh then takes up the mic to tell Fujita, “Ya bastard… I’ll show you true chaos! Now, just one more win. In Ota, the best wind will blow.” Yoh drops the mic to leave it at that. Will that wind be the winds of change? Or will Yoh fail to bring down The Mighty Japanese Young Punk?

 

Here are the FINAL B Block standings!

YOH: 6-3, 12 points [FINALIST]
El Desperado: 6-3, 12 points [ELIMINATED]
MAO: 6-3, 12 points [ELIMINATED]
Taiji Ishimori: 4-5, 8 points [ELIMINATED]
Robbie Eagles: 4-5, 8 points [ELIMINATED]
SHO: 4-5, 8 points [ELIMINATED]
Nick Wayne: 4-5, 8 points [ELIMINATED]
Kevin Knight: 4-5, 8 points [ELIMINATED]
Titan: 4-5, 8 points [ELIMINATED]
Ryusuke Taguchi: 3-6, 6 points [ELIMINATED]


My Thoughts:

A great night to wrap round nine and therefore the round robin portion. No repeat BOSJ finalists, which is actually great because now we’ve got a fresh match-up. Taguchi VS Knight was still a great match for not affecting outcomes, and Knight gets to return to AEW with a win. The flipside is Titan gets a win over Nick Wayne, I really do think it books itself, Nick VS Titan for the ROH World TV Championship on Grand Slam: Mexico. Christian Cage can even be condescending to Nick over how Nick didn’t make it to the finals, adding to that feud. Nick can beat Titan in the rematch, then get in Christian’s face to make a match for All In: Texas, or at least Supercard of Honor where ROH titles should be showing up anyway.

Great stuff with Mao and his team against Sho and the House of Torture. I was pleasantly surprised that Mao won, and I wonder if the House of Torture goes to a DDT Pro show to battle it out with Strange Love Connection. Mao winning also added great drama to the remaining matches, Despy VS Eagles was awesome stuff, probably the actual best match of the night. Yoh VS Taiji wasn’t quite as hot going by the crowd, but Yoh getting the win to shut the door on Despy was good. Yoh VS Fujita will be great, a bit hard to call, but that makes it fun.

My Score: 9/10
