Red Shoes reprimands but Sho tags in. Sho has Titan up to suplex high and hard! Cover, TWO! Sho drags Titan and knuckle locks to wrench. Sho brings Titan to his knees, kicks, KICKS and- NO, Titan blocks the superkick! Sho pulls the mask! Red Shoes reprimands, Sho runs, but Titan trips him!

Bushi gets in to DROPKICK! Titan springboards to SPLASH! Cover, Kanemaru breaks it! Bushi goes after Kanemaru but Kanemaru elbow shim. But then Bushi dropkicks the legs! Bushi & Titan each get Kanemaru & Sho, for STEREO TRAILER HITCHES! Fans fire up as Sho & Kanemaru endure torture, but wait! Here’s gaddamn Dick Togo! He rings the bell to fake out LIJ! LIJ thinks they’ve won but it’s that damn Spoiler playing jokes! Bushi & Titan see that, and then EVIL & YUJIRO get in to BLINDSIDE LIJ and Red Shoes!! Fans boo as the House boys play the same old games again! They stomp away on Titan then drag him up.

Yujiro & Dick double whip, then Dick runs in to ELBOW! Yujiro runs in to BOOT Evil runs in to clothesline! Snapmare, and then Dick goes up! They set Titan up for the DICK CHOP!! Sho covers, Red Shoes is up, TWO!!! Titan survives and Sho is furious! The House protests but they’re the ones who knocked Red Shoes down to make him woozy. Sho gets Titan up, POWER BREAKER!! Cover, BUSHI BREAKS IT!! Just in time, but Kanemaru TOSSES him! Sho laughs as he aims his bow. Sho drags Titan up, reels him in, tucks the arms, SHOCK- NO, Titan fights and Alabama Lifts, to BACK DROP!

Fans fire up as Titan keeps this going! Titan runs in, Sho gets around and shoves him into Red Shoes! And Sho SNATCHES the mask!! Fans boo this utter disrespect! Sho has his Murder Tool at the ready, but Bushi BOOTS Sho! Kanemaru runs in, but Bushi ducks, WHISKEY MIST hits Sho!! Bushi BLACK MISTS Kanemaru!!

Cover, LIJ WINS!

Winners: Bushi & Titan, by pinfall (gains 2 points; The House of Torture earns 0)

The House tried all sorts of tricks, but it wasn’t enough against the Black Mask y El Inmortal! Will The Murder Machine & Heel Master just try to do even worse the next round?

As for LIJ, Bushi gets the mic to tell House, “TOO BAD, HUH!?” Bushi copies Evil’s usual insult, and the fans tell the House to go home. The House gets outta there, and Bushi says in this year’s Super Junior Tag League, they have their crucial first win! And Bushi wants everyone to welcome back LIJ’s new member, Titan! The fans cheer and Bushi tells Titan that it is thanks to him that they won. Titan then gets the mic to say, in Japanese, that he is happy to be back in Japan. Viva Mexico, viva Japon, and viva Los Ingobernables de Japon! Fans cheer that, and Bushi gets the mic back to say he didn’t quite catch that.

But this was only the beginning for them in this tournament. Bushi vows that he and Titan will fire up Super Jr. Tag League, get to the finals in Osaka, and get the trophies so they can come back to Kumagaya as the champions! They mean it! EN SERIO! MA-JI-DE!! Fans fire up, but will Los Ingo’s dos luchadores go all the way to the top?

Here are the current Super Junior Tag League Standings!

Catch 2/2: 1-0, 2 points
Clark Connors & Dan Moloney: 1-0, 2 points
Intergalactic Jet Setters: 1-0, 2 points
Master Wato & El Desperado: 1-0, 2 points
Bushi & Titan: 1-0, 2 points
Yoh & Musashi: 0-1, 0 points
Sho & Yoshinobu Kanemaru: 0-1, 0 points
Ryusuke Taguchi & The DKC: 0-1, 0 points
Douki & Taka Michinoku: 0-1, 0 points
Robbie Eagles & Kosei Fujita: 0-1, 0 points

My Thoughts:

A great opening night for Super Jr. Tag League, and the winning five all made sense to me. Fujita isn’t a Young Lion anymore but he isn’t as established yet, TMDK takes the loss to former tag champs Catch 2/2. Douki & Taka are familiar partners but it’s been awhile given it used to be Douki & Kanemaru, and as such, they take the loss to Kushida & Knight, who are building back up as they’re also former tag champs. The dysfunction of Wato & Desperado could’ve been played up more but they still got the point across. And much like Fujita, DKC isn’t a Young Lion or anything but he is still young and is just now teaming with Taguchi, so it makes sense Wato & Desperado win.

Bullet Club being the tag champs, they weren’t gonna lose the opening round. But they had a great match with Yoh & Musashi, helping establish Musashi for NJPW fans. And of course, great but also overbooked main event with the House of Torture. One of these days, someone in an authority position (kayfabe or otherwise) needs to say there’s just a ringside ban on the House outside of who is in the actual match, but I guess that’s not how NJPW does things. At least LIJ won out, though, to give a great start to their run. Titan made it to the Best of the Super Junior finals, I kinda hope he and Bushi make it to the Super Jr. finals, to improve upon last year’s run.

My Score: 8.9/10

No time to rap for Platinum Max, he and the Five Tool Player want to get to business! “CHIIICAAAAGOOO~! The Acclaimed have arrived! Scissor Me, Daddy Ass~!” And he does! But Jameson talks. This is Zero Hour and not Trios Hour because Billy is scared to get in the ring with Jameson, cuz he knows Jameson will knock him right out! Just like The Iron Savages are all fired up from sipping the new flavor of Savage Sauce, the Double Chocolate Chunk! They bring the BULK~! A mini-savage at ringside is given a headband, and Jameson says they’re taking all the Low T Meat Riders to TIDDY CITY!!

The teams sort out, and Bronson starts against Bowens. The fans rally as the two circle, fans sing “OH~ Scissor Me, Daddy!” Jameson says shut up, there’s no scissoring today! The two tie up, Bronson powers Bowens to the corner, then lets off, to fire haymakers! The ref counts, Bronson CHOPS, but Bowens CHOPS back! And CHOPS again!

Winners: The Acclaimed, by pinfall

A truly BIG win for Caster & Bowens to rebound from All In. But with Mansoor & Mason watching them closely, will The Acclaimed have to strut on the catwalk before they get on the road back to the titles?

Zero Hour – Dustin Rhodes, Sammy Guevara & Holo.grm VS The Premier Athletes w/ Mark Sterling!

“Smart” Mark stops Arkady Aura from even starting as he introduces his team of Josh Woods, Tony Nese & Ariya Daivari. They have decided to let these Chicago losers take part in a winning team for once with a team building exercise. Even low IQ individuals can follow along. When Sterling says, “Athletes,” you all say, “Rock!” Nothing else! Hands in! Ohhhh~! “ATHLETES!” “SUCK!!” Sterling is already furious! But here comes Team Texas, just as we saw them last night on Collision! Will The Natural, The Spanish God and the cyberspace luchador prove these Premier Athletes aren’t ready for the gold?

The trios sort out and Sammy starts with Nese. They circle, feel things out, and tie up. They go around, Sammy blocks a waistlock with a facelock, and rolls with Nese. Sammy waistlocks, Nese wrenches out to wristlock, but Sammy wrenches back. The fans rally, Nese puts Sammy on ropes, and he jabs low! The ref reprimands but Nese whips. Sammy reverses, backflips then DROPKICKS! And kips up so smooth! The fans cheer, Sammy brings Nese up, but Nese pulls the hair! Tag to Daivari and they mug Sammy with haymakers!

Backstage interview with The Outrunners.

Lexy Nair is with Truth Magnum, Turbo Floyd & Erica Leigh, who are still celebrating their first win on AEW TV! Can you believe it?! The Outrunners have done it! Load up the jet skis, pop the champagne, they’re taking this party to the ocean! The same week that they’re topping the merch charts is the same week they get their first win on Collision! But wait! Jon Moxley & Marina Shafir attack! Moxley uses a CROWBAR to take out Truth & Turbo! Marina just uses her bare hands to RAM Erica into a wall!! Moxley “congratulates” them, they should throw a parade.

But this is what Moxley means! Maybe they should’ve checked their egos. Moxley & Marina leave The Outrunners behind, will these two become an absolute menace in AEW?

Queen Aminata VS Missa Kate!

Though she’s come close to gold, The Queen has yet to have her crowning achievement. But will it just be a matter of time before the One & Only African Woman is a champion?

The bell rings, Aminata and Kate circle. They tie up, Aminata waistlocks and SLAMS Kate down! Aminata drags Kate up, snap suplexes, but something more seems to be happening backstage.

Kate fires hands, Serena Deeb is watching backstage, and Kate CHOPS! Kate runs, into a DOUBLE CHOP! And a HEADBUTT! Cover, Aminata wins!

Winner: Queen Aminata, by pinfall

The “Brain Drain” just put Kate to bed, and Aminata looks primed for her moment. When and where will that moment be?

Six Man Tag: Dustin Rhodes, Sammy Guevara, Holo.grm & VS The Dark Order!

The ROH World Tag Team Champions have brought this gold from Texas to Chicago, and they also brought the shining star who has already captured the hearts of the fans. But will The Natural, The Spanish God and the futuristic luchador be a top tier trio? Or will Evil Uno, John Silver & Alex Reynolds prove #DarkOrderIsGood enough for golden opportunities?

The teams sort out and Hologram starts against Uno. The fans fire up for Hologram, but Uno offers a handshake? Hologram takes it, but Uno kicks low! Uno whips, Hologram handsprings to arm-drag! Hologram dodges Uno, goes up and over, then slips around to go to the apron! Then he goes to the other side, keeps moving, and Uno gets frustrated. Uno runs up, but into a GMAANGIRI! Hologram shows off with the front flip! Reynolds stomps in to attack! Reynolds fires hands, whips, but Hologram ducks ‘n’ dodges,. Sammy tags, Hologram sends Reynolds into the SOBAT!

Silver RAMS Dustin into railing, Uno does the same to Hologram, and Reynolds whips Sammy into some! Uno drags Sammy into the ring, keeps him from his corner, and then tags in Silver. The Dark Order stomps away on Sammy, but lets off as the ref counts. Silver flexes, drags Sammy up and scoops to SLAM! Silver flexes again, he’s freakin’ jacked, baby! Cover, ONE!!

Sammy stays in this but Uno stays on him. Uno drags Sammy back to stomp a leg! Tag to Silver, and Silver stays between Sammy and his team. But Sammy fires hands! Silver wobbles, Sammy fires more shots, and Rampage goes to break.

Rampage returns as Reynolds back suplexes, but Sammy lands out! Uno back suplexes, Sammy lands out! Sammy ELBOWS Silver, dodges the rest, hot tag to Dustin! The fans fire up as Dustin rallies, then whips. Reynolds reverses but Dustin says “Not Today!” RHODES UPPERCUT! Atomic drop! Dustin runs to BOOT and BULLDOG! Silver runs up, into a SNAP POWERSLAM! Uno runs up, into a SNAP POWERLSAM! Reynolds tries, SNAP POWERSLAM! The fans fire up and Dustin tags Sammy. Sammy tags Hologram, and the trio gets Dark Order up. They all JAB! JAB! JAB! Dark Order shoves back, dodges, and shout STOP! Then TRIPLE SLAP!!

The fans boo but Silver has Hologram on ropes! Silver gets moving, Dark Order TRIPLE KICK COMBO! GERMAN SUPLEX! Silver fires up, the fans are torn, and we see The Premier Athletes all watching. Reynolds & Uno get Hologram up for Silver to run, but Hologram avoids the pendulum! Dustin & Sammy DUMP Silver, Hologram dodges Evil Y Reynolds, and he gives Sammy a boost to MISSILE DROPKICK! The fans fire up as Sammy & Hologram go to the apron! They SUPERKICK Uno & Silver, then go up the corners! DOUBLE ASAI MOONSAULTS!! Direct hits, and then DESTROYER for Reynolds!

Dustin calls to Sammy, Sammy goes up to FLYING CUTTER! Hologram goes up to 450 SPLASH!! Cover, Team Texas wins!

Winners: Dustin Rhodes, Sammy Guevara & Holo.grm, by pinfall

A great debut on Rampage for Hologram, a great win overall for the ROH World Tag Team Champions, will they keep this going until they’re dripping with gold?

The Bang Bang Gang speaks.

Juice Robinson says here’s the thing about the AEW Trios Division: You need momentum on your side. You ain’t gonna get the job done with a win here and there. You need to string ’em together, snowball effect. W after W after W! Austin says chill. They all want W’s, but there is something serious to address. Austin still doesn’t have a nickname! They’ve got Fully Cocked Colten Gunn! Rock Hard Juice Robinson! And… What do they have for Austin? Colten thinks on it. But in steps The Cage of Agony. Bishop Kaun says he has an idea: Ass Boy Austin! Oh, clever, clever. No right, here’s one: Runner Up in the Top Prospect Tournament!

Wow, that was a long time ago, Kaun. Not relevant. The Machine says there has to be a better one. Kaun has it now: Nepo Baby. What? Like he’s got a famous mom or something? Kaun says okay, no, this is the best: Former AEW World Trios Champion. Yeah, yeah, yeah, that’s just everyone here right now. Colten says that’s tough talk coming from the team that lost the ROH World Six Man titles to them. Cage says hey, Colten, you might be a “body guy” compared to the rest of this roster, but stepping to The Machine, watch your tone. Shake weights don’t count, Cage. Cage says the only reason Bang Bang Gang won cuz they had six guys at the time!

Nowadays, the three Bang Bang Gang won’t beat The Cage of Agony. Then let’s find out! If you’re not down with that, they have two words for ya! GUNS- Wait! The Cage of Agony block the finger guns! They clap their hands and say, “Gates, OPEN!” Toa Liona roars, Juice roars back, sorta. Will the Collision Cowboys be able to bring down these three behemoths? Or will they be caught inside The Cage of Agony?

Friday Night Fashion Fight: The MXM Collection VS The House of Black!

It’s hard to say there are any rules outside the norm for this match, other than to dress to impress.

Winners: The House of Black, by pinfall

Talk about “Brutal fashion,” this was a victory as beautiful as it was vicious! Brody & Buddy proved #TheHouseAlwaysWins, but will they win their way back to title opportunities?

Will Ospreay speaks.

“I have been asked all day today, ‘How you feelin’, Will? You feelin’ alright?’ I dunno how you feel when you’ve taken a Poison-Rana on the stage and a brainbuster on some stage carts, mate, but yeah, hunky dury. I’m feeling great. I’m feeling great to cut these ties that bind myself to Pac. That’s history, right? See, Pac, everybody might know you as The Bastard right now, or maybe they know you as The Man Gravity Forgot. I know you as a UK backyard wrestler. You see, I could say words to you right now that’d perk your ears up that no one else knows. I could say stuff like Steve Farrow. I could say stuff like NAW.

“Because I’ve walked in your shoes. When I walked into that territory that you left, they’d say, ‘Man, you’re good. You ain’t Pac.’ They said the same thing on the UK independents. They said, ‘You’re good, but you’re not Pac.'” Ospreay made them all eat their words, and then he walked on the bridge Pac built, from England to Japan. Pac paved the way for him and Ospreay is thankful. But when Ospreay walked in there, they also said, “You’re good, but you’re not Pac.” Ospreay has been chasing Pac, and five years ago, Pac was Dragon Gate Dream Gate Champion, and Ospreay was NEVER Openweight Champion, and they didn’t get a decision. It was a 30 minute time limit draw.

You think Ospreay is satisfied with that? Nah, bruv! Ospreay’s still been chasing Pac! And here it is. Without even realizing it, Ospreay has lapped Pac. When Pac hit that rana, and Ospreay heard that crappy northern accent, “Don’t you underestimate me.” You thought Ospreay forgot? Nah, bruv. Ospreay could never forget Pac. Not all the work Pac’s done, not all the history they have. No one has forgotten about Pac. He just has been in this position so many times, we’ve lost faith. Wanna change it? Then there’s 24 hours left, bruv. These two may not have had their Wembley Moment together, but who walks away having won THE moment?

My Thoughts:

A great Rampage as part of the go-home night to All Out, though they of course accommodated the bleed over from Collision. Good stuff, already talked about it all for the Collision article, and I also touched on Moxley & Marina jumping The Outrunners with that article, too. It was easy heat for Moxley & Marina beating up on The Outrunners, who just had their big moment, but Moxley touched on not celebrating mediocrity and being humble in victory. Darby Allin will probably respond by saying this is just Moxley being a bully. Anyway, good win for Aminata, and Deeb watching her sets up how they’ll be feuding soon enough.

Good promo of Bang Bang Gang and Cage of Agony, and they’ll have a very good match, probably naming the winners the #1 contenders to the World Trios Championships. More than I can say for Premier Athletes. What business do Nese, Daivari & Woods have watching Dustin & Sammy like they’re gonna get any of the ROH titles off them? Nese, Daivari & Woods lose to all sorts of established names, Dustin, Sammy & The Von Erichs will be no different. But still a really good, really fun Six Man Tag of Dustin, Sammy & Hologram beating Dark Order. Dark Order really is a trio that should’ve been given more, but oh well.

Good promo segment from Kingdom, STP and Top Flight, with another of these kayfabe’d money prize matches happening just because. Like, title opportunities not being won here? I know Roddy is waiting to go after the FTW Championship, but why not have him & The Kingdom try to move up from ROH titles to AEW titles in this match? Though, Top Flight might be right. They won that $3000 trios royale thing a year or so ago, they might win this one so that they keep making money and building their budget for more airline pilot gimmick gear.

And while I was expecting a fashion show themed Street Fight, I suppose judges giving scores was good enough of a gag for this match. The fashion themed Street Fight would’ve probably been better, though. But the House of Black would’ve won out anyway, so best to do it in a standard rules match. And then a great promo from Ospreay to properly frame this feud with Pac. I do wish they would’ve let this be the All In match but whatever, this will still be a show stealer of a match for All Out. But as I said for Collision, and even Dynamite on Wednesday, Pac has been standing tall so the math favors Ospreay retaining the title.
