Backstage interview with Lee Moriarty & “Big Bill” Morrissey.

Lexi Nair is with #TAIGASTYLE and the human skyscraper and notes their match tonight with Dalton Castle’s Boys, The Tate Twins. What exactly is the game plan going into this match? Moriarty says that after The Firm was ended, he and Bill decided to stick together to show ROH why it is time to wake up, wipe the crust from their eyes, clean the drool off their face, and stop sleeping. They’ve been teaming up, picking up win after win like loose change at the strip club. They keep that going against the former ROH World Six Man Tag Team Champions. “Two of the most athletic, agile, gifted-”

Bill has Lee stop there. The Boys ain’t their boys. And they better not be Lexi’s boys. They better be boys with God because after tonight, they’re gonna need Him. Bill knows The Boys will walk, or rather prance, their way down to the ring, with their feathery wings and all those childish noises and whatever they do. But then Lee & Bill will walk down to the ring, and SQUASH you like the bugs you are. Then Lee & Bill will win that tag team gold. Will Brandon & Brent survive this battle with Bill & Lee?

Daniel Garcia VS Christopher Daniels!

The Dragonslayer is still aiming to get back the ROH Pure Championship, and is even getting into the AEW Blind Eliminator Tag Tournament with Sammy Guevara. But will he be able to beat an ROH Grand Slam Champion? Or will he go from Dragonslayer to slayer of Fallen Angels?

The Code of Honor is not upheld as Garcia kicks the handshake away. The bell rings, the two circle, and they tie up. Fans rally for Daniels but Garcia wrenches to a wristlock.

Backstage interview with Willie Mack.

Lexi is with the Mack Daddy and says this is a special night in ROH. It is a six way scramble for 25 THOUSAND dollars! What is Mack’s strategy going into this? Just win the whole damn thing. He’s in there with Josh Woods, Dalton Castle, Trent Seven, Shane Taylor and Brian Cage. They all want that 25K. Y’know what he could do with that money? He wants a pet capibara. Y’know, one of those Brazilian rat dog things with hoof like feet, and they smell like corn chips. Then he’d get a chinchilla, the little rodent thing that they make fur clothing with. And he might even leave the country, go on a trip to Jamaica for the first time.

Has Lexi ever had Jerk Chicken? No. Is she free? She supposes so. Well then, they both can go to Jamaica! But when it comes to those five other guys in the match, Mack has five fingers, and they’re slapping all five guys in the face to get that 25 thousand. Believe that, bank on the Mack! Mack is ready, but will he defy the odds to win the jackpot?

The Gates of Agony VS Action Andretti & Darius Martin!

Bishop Kaun & Toa Liona, along with Brian Cage, are still ROH World Six Man Tag Team Champions. And part of that is from when they defeated their opponents tonight plus AR Fox. Will the Sight to See and the Air Wolf strike back and perhaps earn a rematch? Or will nothing stop the Mogul Embassy’s path of destruction?

The Code of Honor is upheld, and Kaun starts against Action. The two circle, tie up, and go around. Kaun puts Action in a corner as Nana says, “Mogul Embassy forever!” Kaun RAMS Action, and again, and again! Kaun lets off to whip corner to corner, but Action goes up and over and keeps moving.

Nana wants to end this, Liona tags Kaun! Kaun runs in, blocks boots, and puts Darius in ropes for a DRAPING BACKSTABBER! Liona adds a SPLASH to sandwich Darius! Cover, Action breaks it!!

Winners: The Gates of Agony, by pinfall

The Embassy is undefeated in ROH, but only because Nana is their insurance policy. Will there be any trio that is able to account for Nana’s influence on top matching the power of Liona and Kaun?

Six Man Tag: The Righteous & Stu Grayson VS Macrae Martin, Rip Impact & Zak Patterson!

It would seem Dutch & Vincent have truly won Player Two over to their team, and now look to focus on climbing the ranks. Will they do that here tonight in Stu’s home country of Canada?

The Code of Honor is upheld, but then the Righteous all DECK their opponents! The bell rings, Dutch & Vinnie stomp away while Stu rains down fists! The fans boo as Stu keeps Macrae in the ring.

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

After nine years away, Sparx returns to be beaten in half the time needed in one of these Proving Ground matches. Is that proof of Athena’s invincibility? But of course she beats up on Sparx just for the hell of it! Fans boo but Athena sets the belt up. She drags Sparx up, mocks the fans, and SMASHES Sparx off the belt! Athena then complains Sparx is on top of the belt, and snatches it away. Will anyone ever stop the Fallen Goddess?

Tony Nese w/ Mark Sterling VS JD Drake!

The Premier Athlete and Scrap Iron couldn’t be any more opposites in terms of physique and personality, but they both work hard and hit harder. Smart Mark has everything hold on, though, because Nese has something to say. Nese takes the mic and tells fans to calm down, this isn’t about them. This is about JD. JD, Nese thinks you are an excellent wrestler. But with that said, JD is one serving of poutine and donuts from “Timmy Hoos” (Tim Hortons?) from being as bad as these “fat, disgusting Canadians!” But again, this isn’t about the fans. But Nese has good news for JD. Great news, even!

Seeing as how Nese is a personal trainer on the side, instead of having a match, he’ll do this for JD and the fans. They’re all gonna do group training! Everyone stand up, get on your feet, but JD snatches the mic. JD tells Nese to hold on. JD gets Nese is trying to “help” him, but JD is not gonna waste his calories on trashy Canadian food. But for JD, it is only Dunkin’ Donuts and Freedom Fries! But what Nese should do is not let this body fool you. JD will whoop Nese’s ass! And wait, here comes Mark Briscoe? He goes to the mic and Sterling, Nese and JD are all upset by this.

Mark has a mic and he says, “Quiet down, Mark Sterling.” Now, Mark talked with his good friend, Tony Khan, and they agreed that no one cares what either of these two are saying! And so as of right now, it is official! TRIPLE THREAT, BABY! Fans love that! But Nese & JD attack! The fans boo, the bell rings, and it begins!

Mark sets the chair up, builds speed, and FLIES! The Sussex County Chicken wipes out Nese & JD! Mark high fives fans, ROCKS Nese, then puts Nese in the ring. Fans fire up with Mark as he climbs up, but Nese moves! Mark bails out of Froggy Bow, and JD CLOBBERS him! Fans boo but Nese shoves JD. They decide to keep on Mark and they both stomp away.

He wants JD to do that now!

JD says fine, but he just stomps the old fashioned way. That’s better for JD cuz it’s efficient. Nese pushes Mark out of the tree and the fans rally behind Mark. Nese and JD mug Mark with haymakers, then do jumping jacks to keep that cardio up. They go another round, but Mark fights back with UPPERCUTS! Then he does jumping jacks! Another UPPERCUT for Nese! A CHOP for JD! Mark does squats! Fans fire up as Mark dodges JD and the CHOP hits Nese! Mark runs in but is sent into Nese, JD hits a SCRAPBUSTER! Cover, Nese breaks it!

But Mark uses that to hit FROGGY BOY on JD! Cover but Nese shoves Mark away so he can cover, but then Mark drags Nese off JD! JAY DRILLER for Nese!! Cover, Mark wins!

Winner: Mark Briscoe, by pinfall

Physique aside, it is all about heart in ROH! Mark has more heart than JD and Nese combined, but will he be heading back for the ROH World Television Championship?

ROH hears from Eddie Kingston.

The Mad King is the NEW NJPW Strong Openweight Champion after the Independence Day event in Korakuen Hall, and he tells the AEW and ROH fans, “What’s up?” But as he is in Japan at this moment because of the G1 Climax, the greatest tournament in all of pro-wrestling, that means he cannot be there for ROH Death Before Dishonor on July 21st. But Eddie tells Claudio that he isn’t off the hook. There is one man Eddie wants to talk to, wants to challenge, and that is Mark Briscoe! Eddie wore Jay Briscoe’s shirt when he teamed with Rocky Romero. Eddie wants to respect that legacy. And it is now Mark’s turn.

Eddie tells Mark it is his turn to respect Jay’s legacy. It is Mark’s turn to be THE ROH World Champion. “Chicken, this is Eddie talking to you. I need you, these people need you, not to just go after the ROH Championship. We need you to win that championship. We need you to have that Briscoe legacy live on. I love you, Chicken. It’s your time. It is your time.”

Backstage interview with Mark Briscoe.

Renee Paquette is here and with the Sussex County Chicken to respond to Eddie’s message. Eddie wants Mark to go after Claudio. Renee knows Tony Khan has said that if Mark wants it, he has it. Mark says damn right he wants it! It IS his time! Mark tells “King” Eddie that he hears him! All Mark’s career in singles action, all he ever talked about was the Television title. But now it is his time to #ReachForTheSky and follow Jay’s footsteps by becoming WORLD Champion! You understand what he’s saying?

But in walks Claudio. “Let me start with a piece of advice for you, Mark. Don’t listen to Eddie Kingston. I had to show Eddie his limits. And I will show you yours, as well. Where’s the Mark Briscoe I knew? Where’s that Mark? See, you were standing here, talking about following in your brother’s footsteps. Yeah, I faced you and your brother multiple times. I’ve had some of the biggest wars in my career with you and your brother. And you think your brother wanted you to step in his footsteps? No! The Mark Briscoe I knew walked side by side with his brother, not in his footsteps. Which shows me that time has made you weak. Which shows me that you have not manned up!

“Yeah, that is right! I said it! Me, on the other hand, time has made me hard. Time has made me what I am today. Time has made me the guy that is the roadblock for people like you and Eddie that you cannot reach the heights that I have. And if I have to show you that, if I have to pull you down to Earth from you trying to reach for the sky, I will more than gladly do that. Not because I want to. But because I do like you. And because I have to. Because it is my duty to show you your limits. So if you really want that match, shake my hand.” Mark does without hesitation. Then see you at Death Before Dishonor. “But don’t get your hopes up. You’re not ready.”

Claudio leaves, and the match is made! Will the Sussex County Chicken show the Swiss Superman that this is only motivation for making Jay proud?

Diamante VS Vanessa Kraven!

The Cuban Diamond has been on a roll, and she’s looking to continue that all the way to the gold! Will she be able to climb The Mountain and then topple it? Or will her hot streak end up cooling off for the Summer?

Mixed Six Tag: The Kingdom VS Trish Adora & The Infantry!

Mike Bennett, Matt Taven & Maria Kanellis say that the OGK IS ROH! But they’ve also run afoul of quite a few new wave stars who just want an opportunity. Will Boston Strong Style, The Trend and the First Lady of Wrestling deny the AfroPunk, Captain Shawn Dean & Carlie Bravo their rise to the top? Or will there be nothing stopping The Infantry now that they have reinforcements?

But Maria has everyone hold on. She wants to reintroduce herself. She is Maria Kanellis-Bennett, the First Lady of Pro-Wrestling. And this is the first time in five YEARS that she will be wrestling! She knows Canada is so excited to see that. But unfortunately, she’s not medically cleared to wrestle tonight. Oh, sure, right. But Maria says she is all about giving opportunities, so that means tonight, Trish has the opportunity to face a legit shooter. Let her introduce to ROH, LEGIT LEYLA HIRSCH! Hirsh returns from a long absence and what a way to return! Will this change everything about this match?

Mixed Six Tag: The Kingdom & Leyla Hirsch VS Trish Adora & The Infantry!

The Code of Honor is upheld, Maria is so happy for Leyla, and it is ladies first. Leyla and Trish circle as fans rally up. But then Mike tags in, so Dean steps up for his team. Maria says it’s fine, Leyla doesn’t have to rush her return. Mike and Dean tie up, break, and Mike CHOPS! Dean CHOPS! Mike CHOPS, Dean CHOPS, repeat! Fans fire up as the CHOPS keep going, but then Mike headlocks. Dean powers up and out, but Mike runs him over! Fans rally as things speed up, and Dean arm-drags! And arm-drags again! And DROPKICKS! Mike goes to a corner, staggers back, into a CHOP! Fans fire up with The Captain!

Dean salutes, then stalks Mike to the corner. Tag to Carlie, Dean JABS and JABS and JABS! Then Carlie JABS, JABS and JABS! Tag back to Dean, Carlie pops ‘n’ locks and ROCKS Mike! Mike sits down, Carlie & Dean drag him out to crisscross and SPLIT the wishbone! Maria feels for Mike, but Leyla tags in! But then Matt tags off Leyla.

Taven scrambles, and he asks if Leyla is ready. She says she is, so Taven tags her in! Trish finally steps in, and fans fire up as the two circle. Fans chant “Welcome Back!

Trish taps, The Kingdom & Leyla win!

Winners: The Kingdom & Leyla Hirsch, by submission

Maria’s mercenary comes through for the team, but Leyla says she is so done with these three. Leyla is back, will she be a legit threat to the ROH Women’s World Champion? As for The Kingdom, they always seem to find a way. Will they become ROH World Tag Team Champions by any means necessary?

Backstage interview with Leyla Hirsch.

Lexi catches Leyla on her way in and welcomes her to ROH. Lexi does want to ask, what is her relationship with the Kingdom? Leyla says it’s real simple: Mike & Maria needed someone legit for tonight. She showed up. They needed someone to get the job done, and Leyla did that. Leyla is here to stay in ROH because ROH is known for innovation and high-flying. But Leyla is a shooter. Anyone that gets in the ring with her, good luck trying to fly through her. Is Leyla looking to clip some wings while she goes for gold?

My Thoughts:

A really good ROH that was only a little over 90 minutes. Still some filler type matches, but those did work to build momentum. Good wins for Komander, Diamante, the Gates of Agony, The Righteous & Stu, and Moriarty & Morrissey. Good promo from Moriarty & Morrissey, I do like their combination and hope they get opportunities in the tag division. And a really good match from Garcia VS Daniels with plenty of fans starting to dig Garcia’s sports… enner-tay-ner side. Garcia of course wins to have momentum going towards an eventual ROH Pure Championship match, probably at Death Before Dishonor.

Another decent Proving Ground match but I’m feeling like there’s less and less point to them if they’re gonna get shorter, not longer. Athena needs to be put against someone who gets to minute nine. But clearly they’re trying to build Athena’s streak so that when she loses, it’ll be (treated) as big as when Jade Cargill finally lost. That said, great main event with Leyla Hirsch making a surprise return. Leyla is legit, but I do like how The Kingdom wasn’t really respecting her as their third. I almost thought Leyla was gonna turn on them, but now, her winning is a stronger return than a Face move that the fans would love.

The promo after with Leyla was good, she’s ready to take on anyone. Though to be honest, her saying that ROH is known for high-flying is more the men’s division. I haven’t really seen that many female wrestlers in ROH who do the topes and the springboards, they’re fairly grounded like Leyla. But I would love if somehow, some way, we got Athena VS Leyla, and it really feels like Leyla could be the one that takes the title off Athena because she’s legit. And then Leyla can carry the division, having her own impressive win streak while Athena gets back in the AEW title scene.

That Six Man Mayhem was a lot of fun, and of course for kayfabe big money. It’s also great to see Trent Seven back somewhere, though I’m still surprised WWE hasn’t tried harder to get him. Too bad for Mack, but he got his hopes up thinking of what he’d do before having the money. I hope Cage’s win here ties into AEW so that Mogul Embassy can use that $25K for stuff. Pretty sure The Embassy will have the ROH World Six Man Tag titles going into Death Before Dishonor, but I hope a trio comes along that takes those from them. Maybe if Stu & The Righteous come out on top against The Dark Order, it’s Stu, Dutch & Vincent in a not quite Face turn.

Interesting swerve in Nese VS JD becoming a Triple Threat with Mark. Great match, though, and great win from Mark. Mark then being given Eddie’s blessing but also mission to take the world title off Claudio was really cool, and Claudio had a great promo getting in Mark’s face. Claudio VS Mark is going to be great stuff, no idea if Mark takes the title but at this point, he really should. Claudio is going to be coming off of Blood & Guts on the 19th, and what more can Claudio do not really being around in ROH? He does the same quick Proving Ground matches on ROH TV as Athena, and then he defends his title on AEW shows because AEW is trying to get ratings. Mark definitely needs to be the face of ROH, that’s a great way to honor Jay.

My Score: 8.5/10
