ROH World Six Man Championships Proving Ground: Dustin Rhodes & The Von Erichs VS The Premier Athletes!

The Sons of Texas ride again, and onto The Proving Grounds! But while they’re facing The Premier Athletes, it isn’t the combo you’re thinking. “Smart” Mark Sterling again cuts off the introductions to give his own. “In order to get a Proving Grounds match tonight, the powers that be made ME be in this match! But that’s okay, because the Athletes have promised that NO ONE will lay a finger on me!” And since Sterling is a team player, he wants the fans to play along. When he says “Athletes,” you say, “Rules,” and nothing else! “ATHLETES!” “SUCK!!” Got ’em again! But will Tony Nese & Ariya Daivari earn the team a title shot when it’s all on them?

The teams sort out and Marshall Von Erich starts against Ariya Daivari. They shake hands for the Code of Honor, and the bell rings. The fans rally, the two tie up, and Daivari headlocks. Daivari grinds the hold but Marshall fires body shots. Marshall powers out, and he RAMS Daivari! The fans cheer but Daivari talks trash to try that again. Marshall runs, and he RUNS Daivari over! The fans cheer again while Marshall looms over Daivari. Marshall runs again, blocks Daivari’s hip toss and gives Daivari a hip toss! The fans fire up with Marshall as he drags Daivari up. Tag to Ross, the Von Erichs whip to drop and DROPKICK! Ross covers, ONE!

Ross keeps on Daivari with a wrench, but Daivari wrenches and knees low! Daivari CLUBS away on Ross, and Mark wants in? Daivari tags Mark, and Mark scoops to SLAM Ross! But Ross gets right up, so Mark tags Nese. Nese runs up, Ross DECKS him, and he glares at Sterling. Sterling hops off the apron, Ross goes back for Nese and wrenches. Tag to Marshall and the Von Erichs whip to DOUBLE DROPKICK! Marshall covers, TWO! Marshall wrenches Nese’s arm, tags Ross back in, and Ross takes the handoff. But Nese pulls hair! The ref counts, Nese lets off to throw Ross down, then he clamps on with a facelock.

Nese whips, Ross stops himself, but Nese DROPKICKS him down! Nese bumps Ross off buckles, tag Daivari, and The Athletes mug Ross! The ref reprimands but Dustin & Marshall storm up. The ref stops them from getting involved, but that lets Mark CHOKE Ross! The fans boo but Mark gets away with it. Daivari tags Nese in and The Athletes mug Ross more. The ref reprimands as Nese fires haymakers, but Nese lets off. Nese stalks Ross to the corner, the fans rally up, and Nese brings Ross over to CHOP! Tag to Mark and Mark is all fired up as he stomps a mudhole in! The ref reprimands but Mark taunts Dustin.

Mark tags back to Nese, and he says, “That’s how you kick someone!” Nese taunts Marshall by holding out Ross’ hand, then he KNEES Ross down, and sucker punches Marshall! Nese taunts Dustin now, then shouts, “ATHLETES!” The fans reply, “SUCK!” Ross hits Nese but Nese CLUBS him! Nese whips Ross to the corner, runs up, but into a BOOT! Ross DECKS Daivari, but Mark holds onto Ross’ arm to hold him back. Nese runs in, Ross slips free, Nese BLASTS Mark! Ross hurries, but so does Nese! Nese grabs a leg, Ross hops up and ENZIGIRIS! Hot tag to Dustin, and Mark?! Mark freaks out but Dustin runs up!

Dustin TOSSES Mark into the ring! Mark begs for mercy, but Daivari runs in! Dustin dodges to CLOBBER Daivari! And CLOBBER him again! Dustin whips, Daivari reverses but Dustin sees the backdrop coming and says, “Not today!” RHODES UPPERCUT! Nese runs up, into the SNAP POWERSLAM! Daivari tries, SNAP POWERSLAM! Nese CHOPS then whips, but Dustin comes back with a DESTROYER!! The fans fire up and Dustin catches Daivari to the dragon sleeper! But Mark runs in to CLUB Dustin! Dustin doesn’t fall and Mark is frustrated. Mark says he could pay them. The Von Erichs step in, and put Mark in a corner!

The Von Erichs open Mark up, Dustin thinks about it, but the Athletes get in! The Von Erichs fire hands on them, and put on DOUBLE IRON CLAWS! The ref reprimands the Von Erichs, so Dustin gives Mark SHATTERED DREAMS! Dustin says who wants it? FINAL RECKONING! Cover, The Sons of Texas win!

Winners: Dustin Rhodes & The Von Erichs, by pinfall (denies The Premier Athletes a title match)

The promise to Smart Mark wasn’t fulfilled, he and the Premier Athletes will just have to try better next time. But with Dustin, Marshall & Ross rolling on, will anyone be able to stop The Sons of Texas?

 

BREAKING NEWS for AEW WrestleDream!

Atlantis Jr. is still the ROH World Television Champion, but he’s also the target of The Machine! Brian Cage wants redemption from last year’s Survival of the Fittest Six Way match, can he finally win “the big one?” Or will we finally have an answer to “Who betta?” We’ll find out in Tacoma, Washington, on October 12th, in the WrestleDream Zero Hour!

 

Backstage interview with Athena & Billie Starkz.

Lexy Nair is with her besties, and says this is a very special Minion Empowerment Meeting, as MIT is planning a celebration for their Minion Overlord! Athena is now THE longest reigning champion in ROH history, man, woman or tag team! Lexy is thinking of inviting Ja Rule, or even Pitbull, and then they get balloons, confetti and- Athena says they’ll require EVERYONE in ROH to attend! She’ll talk with the Board of Directors, but they’ll get the entire Women’s Division. They’ll have cupcakes, whiskey, punch, and kittens. Lexy says yes, yes, of course. But then Athena notices Billie’s pout face and asks what is her problem.

Billie replies, “What’s my problem?” No, no, Billie, it’s just, Athena is getting tired of this. Sure, fine, Billie had to deal with Abadon. But Athena wouldn’t put her in a situation she couldn’t handle. This is Athena’s day, girl! It is about her and everything she has done, so it is about time she gets her flowers. And the last thing we need here is for Billie to have a problem. But Athena gets it, Billie is jealous. Billie is jealous of Lexy, jealous of Athena, upset that she lost Athena’s Women’s Television Championship, but it is okay. If Billie needs to talk, they are here for her. And the first step in getting over a problem is admitting you have one.

Billie shouts that SHE doesn’t have a problem, ATHENA has one! What does Athena not understand about this?! Athena left Billie alone out there! Billie always has Athena’s back! Oh, really? Did she have Athena’s back the first time Abadon showed up? Or at the PPV when Lexy had to step in? NO, she didn’t. Athena won’t do this today. Either Billie can be there to celebrate Athena’s day, after all the hard work Athena and Lexy put into MIT, and into the title reign, or Billie can just stay home. Billie says okay. Billie leaves, but which way did she mean that? Athena asks Lexy to go handle that, and then asks why is there always drama.

BUT ABADON SNEAKS IN BEHIND HER! Abadon reaches out, but Athena storms off before being touched on the shoulder. Abadon grins, and follows Athena. Is Halloween about to come early to ROH?

 

The Outrunners VS The Infantry!

While Truth Magnum & Turbo Floyd have a truce with Shawn Dean & Carlie Bravo, there can only be one team that stands as #1 contenders to the ROH World Tag Team Championships! Will the Youngest Men Alive take over the rankings? Or will Captain Dean lead Bad News & Tattoos back to the title scene?

The Code of Honor is upheld, and the teams sort out. Truth starts with Bravo and the fans rally up as they circle. The two tie up, go back and forth, but Truth puts Bravo in a corner. Truth lets off, does a spin and a flex, and the fans cheer. Bravo slips around to waistlock but Truth switches and hits a hip toss! Truth flexes again, but Bravo tags Dean. Truth tags Turbo and the fans cheer. Turbo and Dean circle as the fans rally up, and the two tie up. Turbo headlocks, Dean slips out to headlock back. Turbo powers up and out, thing hurdles. But Dean stops himself to arm-drag! And arm-drag! The two stand back and the fans cheer more.

Turbo and Dean circle, tie up, and Turbo wrenches to a wristlock. Dean rolls, kips up, and wrenches to wristlock back. Turbo slips through to wrench, hammerlock, and he puts Dean in a corner. The ref counts, Turbo lets off, but then he whips corner to corner. Dean reverses, Turbo reverses, but Dean goes up and over! Turbo hits buckles, Dean arm-drags him, but Turbo drags Dean right down to an armlock! The fans cheer, but Dean rolls back and stands up. Dean whips Turbo away, drops down, then hurdles. Turbo blocks hip toss to hit a hip toss! The fans fire up, Turbo covers, ONE! Turbo drags Dean over, and tags Truth.

Dean gets away, tags in Bravo, and Bravo runs up, but into an arm-drag! Truth has the armlock now, but Bravo fights around. Bravo grits his teeth, powers Truth to a corner, but he also pulls hair! The ref reprimands, Bravo lets off, but Truth dodges the cheap shot to CHOP! Truth whips Bravo, but Bravo blocks the hip toss! But Truth blocks the hip toss to backslide! TWO, and Truth gets around to O’Conner Roll! TWO, and Truth says it was that close. Bravo says no it wasn’t! Bravo ROCKS Truth, the fans boo that sucker punch, but Bravo tells fans to shut up. Bravo whips but Truth sunset flips! TWO, and Bravo is frustrated!

Bravo runs up but Truth wrenches him! Bravo ROCKS Truth, RAMS him into a corner, then tags Dean. The Infantry double whips, then DOUBLE HIP TOSS! They DOUBLE FIST DROP, and Dean covers, TWO! Truth staggers into the Infantry’s corner, and Dean tags Bravo back. The fans rally as Bravo stomps a mudhole into Truth. Bravo CHOPS Truth, puts him in the open corner, and CHOPS! The fans fire up, and Bravo drags Truth up. Bravo snap suplexes, covers, TWO! Tag to Dean, the Infantry mugs Truth, and the ref reprimands. Dean ROCKS Truth, ROCKS him again, but Truth fires hands! Truth DECKS Bravo, but Dean scoops and SLAMS!

Dean says “OORAH~!” The fans are torn but Dean runs to ELBOW DROP! Cover, TWO! Truth stays in this but Dean stays on him with a chinlock. Dean grinds Truth but the fans rally up for the Outrunners. Truth fires body shots, then JAWBREAKERS! Bravo storms in, but Truth avoids the scissor kick! The fans fire up and Turbo is chompin’ at the bit! Dean runs in at Truth but Truth dodges, the splash hits buckles! Truth is in Infantry territory! The Infantry run up, but Truth ducks the double clothesline! Hot tag to Turbo! The fans fire up as Turbo rallies with haymakers! Turbo DECKS Dean, DECKS Bravo, repeat!

Turbo scoop SLAMS Bravo! Then he scoop SLAMS Dean! Then he scoop SLAMS Bravo again! And then he scoop SLAMS Dean again! The fans are all fired up as Turbo flexes! But Bravo kicks low! Dean runs to BOOT Turbo into Bravo’s DDT! The ref reprimands the double teaming but Infantry says night night! Bravo runs but Truth trips him up! Truth runs in while Turbo scoops Dean! TOTAL RECALL! Cover, Outrunners win!

Winners: The Outrunners, by pinfall

The throwback continues to gain momentum! Truth & Turbo hug it out, and then look to The Infantry. The Outrunners offer the Code of Honor, what does The Infantry say? Dean & Bravo accept! But then that’s it as they push past The Outrunners. Even so, Turbo & Truth wind up, to MEGA POWER HANDSHAKE! Will The Outrunner’s win streak continue until they’ve got the gold?

 

Beef is backstage.

He has the cameraman follow him as he talks with Anthony Henry. Henry asks how Beef got all wet again, but Beef says it’s time to record a tag team promo. Y’know, like how teams are all, UGH GRR, YOU HEAR WHAT I’M SAYIN? Like that. Henry says no, because they’re not a tag team. What? But they’re 3-0 in ROH. No, no. Listen: Henry is in a tag team with JD Drake, they are the Workhorsemen. Henry & Beef are not a tag team at all. Beef says now that Henry mentions him, how is JD? No, let’s not do that. Aw c’mon! When is Beef gonna get to meet JD. Just give Beef his number. Henry keeps saying no, then shouts STOP!

What? No? Yeah, no. Okay. But then one more question. What are the chances of a guy like Henry would give a guy like Beef… JD’s number? What’re the chances!? Not very good! What? Like, 1 in 100? How about more like, 1 in a MILLION. Henry storms off, and Beef is a bit troubled. But then he says, “So you’re saying there’s a chance? YEAH!” Beef takes that 1 in a million to mean… BEEF! Beef follows Cousin Anthony, but will he ever be accepted?

 

ROH Rewind: Samoa Joe VS Kenta Kobashi!

We travel back in time to October 1st, 2005, the early days of Ring of Honor Wrestling! Two greats did battle in New York City, though the Samoan Submission Machine had yet to reach the heights he has today. How did Samoa Joe fare against The Absolute Champion, Mr. Pro-Wrestling? Let’s take a look back and see.

The introductions are made, the streamers fly for “KO-BA-SHI! KO-BA-SHI!” and the Code of Honor is upheld. The bell rings and the fans are already thunderous as these two circle.

Kobashi sits up, Joe KICKS and CHOPS, then runs to KNEE DROP! Kobashi goes to the apron while fans are torn. Joe goes out after Kobashi, and brings him around to make him take a seat. Joe KICKS, then gets space.

Joe runs back in to BOOT WASH Kobashi! Kobashi falls off the chair, sputters against barriers, and the fans lose their minds! They say “OVER HERE! OVER HERE!” Joe drags Kobashi up and over, and yes, he makes Kobashi take a seat over there. Joe runs side to side again, but into a RIDGE HAND! Kobashi CHOPS Joe into taking a seat! Kobashi fire sup to then RUNNING CHOP! Joe falls over the railing! The fans are electric all over again for “KO-BA-SHI!” Kobashi storms over, drags Joe back up, and he DDTS Joe to the floor!

The fans are thunderous as Joe falls over! Kobashi drags Joe up, whips, and KNEES low! And then whips again to KNEE low! Kobashi turns Joe to RIDGE CHOP! And then FALLING CHOP! The fans are electric for another FALLING CHOP!! Kobashi runs to JUMP CHOP!! Cover, TWO!! Joe survives but Kobashi drags him right into the facelock! Joe endures the squeeze, the fans rally behind Kobashi, “This is Awesome!”

Joe stands, fights around, and has the ROPEBREAK! Kobashi lets go, but then drags Joe up and reels him in. But Joe fights the suplex! Joe suplexes Kobashi up and over!

The fans fire up with every shot! Joe joins Kobashi in going CHOP for CHOP! Kobashi gets the edge but then Joe fires CHOP after CHOP! So Kobashi fires CHOP after CHOP!

This instant classic reminds the world that both these men are among the best in wrestling ever! Kobashi shows Joe respect, and the fans cheer as Joe shakes his hand. At 22 years and counting, this is what ROH is all about! Will ROH only grow stronger to keep that legacy going?

 

ROH World Championship: Mark Briscoe VS Matt Taven w/ Mike Bennett!

Speaking of that legacy, The Sussex County Chicken is carrying both the legacy of this company and his family. And while Chris Jericho wants to step all over that (again), it seems The Kingdom wants to have their moment in the spotlight. Will Matt Taven once again be atop the ROH mountain? Or will he fail to dethrone Mark on the road to WrestleDream?

The introductions are made, the belt is raised, and we see who holds the gold in the Steel City!

Mark offers the Code of Honor handshake, but Taven stalls. The bell rings first, and Mark offers again. Taven accepts it this time, to then spin Mark around and roll him up! With tights! TWO, and the fans boo Taven. Mark is also upset but Taven bails out. Taven is frustrated his trick didn’t work, but Bennett says he gets it, Mark isn’t very smart. Taven storms back into the ring, and Mark says he is better than that. Stop with the scallywagging, let’s just do this! Taven says alright, and the two tie up. Mark headlocks, Taven wrenches out and whips, but Mark reverses. Taven sunset flips, Mark rolls through, and jumps on for a headlock!

Taven powers up and out, ducks and hurdles, but then Mark wrenches and headlocks again! Taven powers things to a headlock, but Mark powers out. Taven goes up and over in the corner, keeps moving, and he slides under a lariat! Mark CHOPS and the fans fire up! Taven says okay, and he resets with Mark. Mark offers a handshake, Taven takes it and means it this time. Until he sucker punches Mark! The fans boo while Taven CLUBS away on Mark in a corner. Taven CHOPS, whips corner to corner, but Mark goes up and out! Mark SWATS a lariat, then REDNECK KUNG-FU UPPERCUTS! The fans fire up and Mark RAMS into Taven.

Mark snapmares Taven out hard, then builds speed to WRECK him with a dropkick! The fans fire up as Mark gets spicy! BANG BANG, but Bennett stands in the way! Mark argues with Mike, and Taven sneaks up to waistlock! Mark breaks that and ELBOWS Taven away! Mike takes a swipe but Mark jumps over! Then Mark BLOCKBUSTERS Taven to the floor! The fans fire up with Mark, and he drags Taven into the ring. Mike and Mark argue again, and Mark goes up a corner. Taven stands, into a MISSILE DROPKICK! Taven flounders and the fans fire up again. Mark runs up but Taven BOOTS him!

Taven runs up, but Mark fireman’s carries, ROLLING DEATH VALLEY! Mark goes up the corner again, to FROGGY- NO, Mark rolls through as Taven moves. Taven springboards, KICK O’ THE KING! Cover, TWO! Mark survives but Taven rains down fists! The ref reprimands about closed fists, but Taven tells Aubrey and the fans to shut up. Taven stalks Mark to ropes, CHOKES him, and fans chant “MAN UP! MAN UP!” The ref counts, Taven lets off at 4 and Mark goes to a corner. Taven storms up, reels Mark in, and suplexes high and hard! Then MOONLIGHT DRIVE! Cover, TWO! Taven is frustrated, but Mark is tougher than that.

Taven drags Mark up by his beard, and the fans boo while Aubrey reprimands. Taven clamps on a chinlock and he grinds Mark down. The fans rally, Mark fights up, and Mark fires body shots! Taven CLUBS Mark right down! Taven and Bennett mock the applause, then Taven whips. Mark reverses, Taven stops, rolls under, and ENZIGIRIS! Mark staggers, Taven reels him in, PURPLE THUNDER! Cover, TWO! Taven is frustrated with Aubrey’s count, but he vows to take this title and show what Jericho will do! LIONSAULT! But onto knees! The fans fire up with Mark as he rises, and he CLOBBERS Taven! And CLOBBERS him again!

Taven RKF UPPERCUTS and the fans fire up! Mark whips, Taven reverses, but Mark CLOBBERS him again! Mark fires up, the fans are with him, and he runs in at the corner, but into a SUPERKICK! The fans boo while Mark wobbles, but Taven goes up. Only for Mark to UPPERCUT again! Mark YANKS Taven down, into an EXPLODER! Cover, TWO! Taven shows he’s tougher than that, but Mark is not deterred! The fans rally again while Bennett coaches Taven. Mark whips Taven to ropes, but Taven reverses. Mark sunset flips, Taven rolls through, JUST THE TIP of the knee! Cover, TWO!! Mark survives and The Kingdom is frustrated!

Taven climbs, aims, and FROG SPLASH! Cover, TWO!! Mark survives the “Aurora” and Taven is beside himself! Taven tells Mark he’s done this time! Taven climbs back up, for another AURORA BOR- NO! Mark’s knees hit him again! Mark goes back up, and the fans fire up for the FROGGY-BOW, but onto knees! Bennett is fired up for Taven but the fans rally behind Mark.

Mark won’t stop, he calls his shot! Mark underhooks, lifts, JAY DRILLER!! Cover, Mark wins!

Winner: Mark Briscoe, by pinfall (still ROH World Champion)

The Kingdom has fallen, and Mark borrows a fan’s banner to show off the honor of #DemBoys! Mark points to Heaven to shoutout Jay, and then he offers the Code of Honor to Taven. Taven takes it genuinely this time, and hugs it out with Mark. The Kingdom hoists Mark up to celebrate with him, because in the end, they’re still friends. With this, Tacoma and WrestleDream will have the ROH World Championship on the card! Will The Learning Tree #ManUp and fight honorably? Or will Jericho do whatever he has to in order to become #ElNueve?


My Thoughts:

A great ROH here, coming in at an hour and 20, but also airing an hour later than last week. Is that the new thing? Not sure how I feel about that, but it does create uniformity across not just AEW owned programming but across AEW and WWE so that no one has to adjust their schedule that drastically to watch something.

For anyone wondering why we just suddenly got Joe VS Kobashi, it was because ROH needed to make up for some time lost during taping. Sammy Guevara VS Serpentico was supposed to be part of this show, but Sammy got hurt during that, the match was called off, and while Sammy walked away later, he initially needed help to the back via a stretcher. Also, Lady Frost VS Kelly Madan had to be removed because Madan got knocked out and also needed a stretcher. So two matches that ultimately are filler were replaced by a classic ROH match. On behalf of The Chairshot, good to hear Sammy and Madan are alright, and I hope they’ll be fine by their next matches.

Sammy having been scheduled for this week’s show was clearly so we could have all four Sons of Texas, the full faction, all getting good wins tonight. Good stuff from Dustin & The Von Erichs beating The Premier Athletes, because of course they were when Mark Sterling was in the mix. Seems a little silly they bothered with this at all, because why are they protecting The Premier Athletes in a Proving Ground match? Just give us more Proving Ground matches that hit 10 minutes that then set up a future title match. For all we know, we get an ROH World Six Man title match for the WrestleDream Zero Hour, same as we are with Atlantis Jr. VS Brian Cage.

Nyla Rose of course wins her match, and I also figured Henry & Beef would win theirs. Side note: Anthony Catena’s overall look of a Scarface inspired merch shirt and his comic book tights were interesting. But very good promo from Henry & Beef backstage, though it didn’t really add much. I feel like the twist will be that, for all of Henry’s reservations, JD Drake will accept Beef into the fold, and Henry will be completely exasperated. Very good promo from Athena and Billie to further build their dysfunction, and great bit of Abadon almost snatching Athena up. I still feel Athena VS Abadon gets wonked by Billie, setting up Athena VS Billie at Final Battle.

Great match out of Outrunners VS Infantry, but given Tony Khan copy-pasted this story to give us #FTRunners on Collision, he must now change how the story here on ROH is going. Infantry borders on turning Heel over how Outrunners are doing better in the win-loss record and getting popular with the fans. As such, Outrunners win and Infantry storms off, it might take some other point of frustration to make The Infantry turn on The Outrunners. And then great ROH World Championship match just out of nowhere with Mark and Taven. Mark of course won, they weren’t going to make a match of Briscoe VS Jericho for the title to then take that away. But it was still good to have Taven & Bennett celebrate with Mark after, given the history of The Kingdom with The Briscoes.

My Score: 8.8/10

Hangman Page is here!

Mexico City fires up for the Blackhat Cowboy as he makes his way into Arena Mexico for the first time! Hangman has a mic to say, “Hola! Mi nombre es Hangman.” And he asks they excuse his Espanol, it isn’t the best. But Hangman knows that like most White people, he’ll do his best. His familia used to grow tobacco, and they were hard workers. And they had employees who were hard workers, from right here in Mexico City. Those men were also like family! He is thankful that the people of Mexico have invited AEW into their home tonight! The fans cheer, and Hangman thanks them for the collaboration of AEW & CMLL. This is the best pro-wrestling in the world!

Hangman continues by saying that he also wants to make it known about AEW World Champion, Jon Moxley, that while Hangman is not wrestling tonight, and that he is not allowed ringside later tonight for the main event… He will find Moxley after! And Excalibur apologizes, the last part definitely can’t be translated for the sake of the broadcast. The fans still cheer Hangman on, they wanna see that #CowboyS*it. Hangman adds that once again, he is thankful for letting them be here in Arena Mexico. Now, let the action begin! The fans cheer as Hangman heads out, will The Cowboy get his hands on The Maniac before the night is over?

 

14 Man Tag: Hechicero, Volador Jr, Dax Harwood & The Don Callis Family VS Adam Cole, Brody King, Daniel Garcia, Bandido, Templario, Atlantis Sr. & Atlantis Jr!

Well, they always say, “Card subject to change.” Cash Wheeler is not able to make it, but Lance Archer and “The Predator,” Volador Jr, take his place! Then on the other side, the OG Atlantis jumps in! Will things only end up crazier to start off Grand Slam?

As Dax Harwood & Stokely Hathaway make their way out, #BigStoke has a mic and he has them cut the music. Stokely has some good news and some bad news. Bad news: Due to circumstances beyond his control, Cash Wheeler cannot be here tonight. That’s the bad news. The good news is, one half of FTR is here tonight in the great Dax the Ax! And hey, Stokely has been working on his Espanol all day. “Grassy ass, thank you!” Still messed it up… But with that, the rest of Team Rudo make their way out, starting with Volador, followed by the Don Callis y Hechicero.

On the other side, ROH World Champion Bandido leads the way for his team, followed by Templario and the Atlantis father and son. Then Brody King and Daniel Garcia follow, saving TNT Champion, Adam Cole, for last! The fans join in for the “BOOM!” and “ADAM COLE, BAYBAY!” These massive teams sort out, and Bandido steps up against the Alpha, Konosuke Takeshita. The fans fire up behind the Most Wanted while he and Konosuke circle. They approach, Konosuke trips Bandido and things speed up. Bandido stays low, then hurdles, but Konosuke leaps over. Bandido dodges Konosuke, then he aims his finger gun!

The fans cheer as Konosuke says he has his eyes on Bandido, too. Konosuke kicks low, whips, but Bandido reverses. Bandido scoops right to a torture rack!

Kazuchika Okada w/ Don Callis VS Mark Briscoe!

The Rainmaker has a Winner Takes All match with long-time rival, Kenny Omega, but he crossed a line! Not only has Okada joined Don Callis just to stick it to The Cleaner, but Okada hospitalized Omega with a brutal attack to the stomach! Will the Sussex County Chicken get a semblance of revenge on Omega’s behalf? Or will Okada make it rain in Arena Mexico?

The fans are fired up for Okada while he and Briscoe get face to face. The ref has them back away to their corners, then the bell rings. Okada and Briscoe step up again, then Briscoe shoves Okada! Okada bails out and the fans boo. Briscoe waits on Okada while commentary tells Callis he and Okada committed the most despicable thing in all of wrestling. Callis of course says it was the most shrewd tactical move in the history of wrestling. Okada takes his time returning into the ring, and then he circles with Briscoe. They tie up and are in a deadlock. They go around, Okada puts Briscoe on the ropes, but he lets off slowly.

Okada fakes the chop, and pats Briscoe on the shoulders. The fans are torn, but Briscoe kicks Okada and TOSSES him! The fans cheer as Briscoe builds speed, but Okada steps aside so Briscoe can’t dive. Briscoe gives chase, though, and they go around the outside. They slide back in, and Okada CLOBBERS Briscoe!

Briscoe stands Okada up to ROCK with a haymaker, then ROCKS him again. Okada staggers, Briscoe is on him with a CHOP! The fans “WOO~” and Callis acknowledges those heavy hands of Briscoe’s. Briscoe bumps Okada off buckles, stomps a mudhole, then stops as the ref counts 4. Briscoe then grinds his forearm into Okada’s face! The ref counts again, Briscoe stops at 4, and he whips corner to corner. Okada reverses but Briscoe goes up and out.

Okada runs up but Briscoe blocks a shot to ROCK Okada! Briscoe then RAMS into Okada, throws him out of the ring, and then DIVES! Direct hit and the fans fire up! Briscoe high-fives the front row before he puts Okada in the ring. Okada goes to a corner, Briscoe runs up and LARIATS! Briscoe goes corner to corner again, but Okada BOOTS him! Briscoe just fires up! Okada dodges this time, and he hoists Briscoe up to DROPKICK him down to the floor! The fans fire up while Grand Slam goes picture in picture.

Okada waits while Briscoe is down and out. A ring count starts, Briscoe stirs, but then Okada goes out to fetch Briscoe. Briscoe fires body shots but Okada kicks low! DDT to the floor!

Okada ELBOWS Briscoe, whips corner to corner, then runs in and ELBOWS Briscoe down! Okada paces while soaking up cheers and jeers.

Okada goes back to Briscoe and drags him up. Okada reels Briscoe in, turns him, and hits a NECKBREAKER! Cover, TWO! Briscoe is still in this and he rises up. Okada is on him with a chinlock and bends him back! Briscoe endures as Okada leans on the hold, and Briscoe fights around to stand back up. But Okada drags Briscoe back down! Briscoe still fights, Grand Slam returns to single picture, and the fans rally up. Briscoe rises again, fires body shots, then runs, ducks ‘n’ dodges, but Okada hits a FLAPJACK! Okada is ice cold while the fans fire up. Okada brings Briscoe up, gut wrenches, but Briscoe fights to a victory roll! TWO!

Okada runs up, Briscoe waistlocks, but Okada switches. Briscoe breaks free to PELE! Both men are down and the fans fire up again! Briscoe pounds the mat and the fans rally. Briscoe rises, Okada stands, and they throw forearms back and forth! Briscoe ROCKS Okada, and Okada comes back to CLAW Briscoe’s eyes! Okada whips, but Briscoe reverses and CHOPS! Briscoe fires forearms, then whips. Okada reverses but Briscoe FLYING FOREARMS! The fans fire up again and both men rise up. Briscoe winds up to LARIAT in the corner!

The fans fire up as Okada stays in this! Briscoe clutches his neck but he brings Okada back up. Okada fights the clinch, the fans duel, and Okada puts Briscoe on ropes.

The fans boo as Okada aims with the belt! BELT SHOT to the ribs!! And then BELT SHOT to the head!! Callis & Okada stomp away on Briscoe, then they leave him behind. Another message sent to not just Kenny Omega but to anyone who would dare defy them. Will Okada go from Continental Champion to Unified Champion after going All In?

 

MJF w/ The Hurt Syndicate VS Mistico!

The Scumbag only ever does or uses something when it benefits him, and being extremely patriotic for the United States only seems to happen when he wants to stick it to someone not from the United States. MJF waves Ol’ Glory while he, MVP, Bobby Lashley & Shelton Benjamin walk down to the ring, but will he have to wave the white flag of surrender here tonight? Or will MJF somehow screw over the arguably greatest and most beloved man in CMLL?

In fact, to counter MJF being an American idiot, Mistico takes off his Sin Cara mask to reveal the colors of Mexico’s flag and therefore the colors of his people. He also has Me Muero as his theme, and the fans all know that one! The bell rings and the two circle while the fans rally behind Mistico. The two tie up, MJF SHOVES Mistico away, and then MJF soaks up the heat. MJF mockingly claps and then says up theirs! MVP tells MJF to worry about Mistico, not the fans. The fans tell MJF off and MJF tells them to shut up. MJF and Mistico tie up, Mistico SHOVES MJF, and Mistico eggs MJF on! MJF gets up, he and Mistico circle again, and they tie up. MJF kicks low and grins.

MJF brings Mistico around to headlock but Mistico fires body shots. Mistico powers up and out, then CHOPS! Mistico winds up and the fans rally, and he knuckle locks before he CHOPS again! Mistico goes up, up, and he tightrope walks to FLYING ARM-DRAG! The fans fire up as Mistico then hits a CODE RED! Cover, TWO! MJF bails out but Mistico builds speed! Mistico handsprings to fake MJF out! MJF thinks he’s smooth for running away, but then MVP tells him to focus on Mistico, not on the fans. MJF says he knows, and he eggs on Mistico. Mistico runs out there to chase MJF, but then the Hurt Syndicate stands in the way!

The fans boo, Mistico wags his finger, and he tells them to part. MJF runs up to ROCK Mistico first! The fans boo but MJF high-fives his guys. MJF says, “Easy! Too easy!” MJF puts Mistico in the ring, smirks while the fans call him more names. MJF swivels his hips, then runs up, but Mistico dodges the knee drop! Mistico runs up to RANA! The fans fire up and Mistico has MJF in a corner. MJF wants mercy, but Mistico says nope! Mistico runs up, but MJF YANKS him into buckles! MJF stomps away on Mistico, then goes to the other end to stand on the corner. MJF soaks up heat as he does the Pledge of Allegiance!

The fans boo, and MVP again reprimands MJF, he needs to be about business, not about trolling! MJF goes back to Mistico, drags him up, and he brings Mistico around, but Mistico JAWBREAKERS! Mistico runs, hops on, but MJF stops Code Red to reel Mistico in! POWER BREAKER! Cover, TWO! Mistico survives, MVP says this is still fine, and Grand Slam goes picture in picture. MJF sits Mistico up, and he pulls at the mask! MJF’s lucky this is an AEW based event, CMLL rules say this is tantamount to a disqualification! MJF rips at the eyehole, then clamps on a chinlock. MJF grinds Mistico down but Mistico endures.

Mistico fights while the fans tell MJF off again. Mistico rises up, fires body shots, then runs to ROCK MJF! Mistico fires forearms but MJF throat chops! MJF TOSSES Mistico out, distracts the ref, and the Hurt Syndicate attacks! BARRIER BACKBREAKER from Shelton! Shelton shoves Mistico back into the ring, MJF covers, TWO! Mistico is still in this but the ref is a bit suspicious of the Hurt Syndicate. MVP defends their innocence, and MJF puts Mistico on ropes. MJF CHOKES Mistico, the ref counts, and MJF stops at 4. This lets Lashley CHOKE Mistico and throw hands! The Hurt syndicate gets away with more, and MJF covers, TWO!

MVP tells fans to callete, they saw nothing! MJF stalks Mistico, stomps him on the foot, then has him on the ropes. MJF stomps him more, then soaks up heat. MJF drags Mistico up, scoops and carries him, then SLAMS him down! MJF huffs ‘n’ puffs while Grand Slam returns to single picture. MJF sits Mistico back up, runs the ropes, and then just steps up to pelvic thrust! The fans boo and Mistico is pissed now! MVP says no more trolling, MJF, he’s already told him that! MJF ROCKS Mistico, but Mistico eggs him on! MJF ROCKS Mistico, CLUBS him again and again, but then Mistico blocks to fire off forearms! And KICKS, SOBATS and KICKS!

The fans fire up with Mistico, but MJF BITES Mistico’s mask! MJF whips, Mistico reverses, then he ducks ‘n’ dodges to handspring and BACK ELBOW! The fans fire up and Mistico aims from a corner. But MJF runs up! Mistico dodges, runs back in, but MJF puts him on the apron. Mistico GAMANGIRIS! The fans fire up, Mistico springboards, CROSSBODY! Mistico rolls through and keeps moving, tilt-o-whirl and DDT! MJF tumbles out, the fans fire up, and Mistico rises. Mistico springboards from the corner, SUPER CROSSBODY! The fans are thunderous as both men are down! The ring count starts while the fans cheer, “ESTA LUCHA! <THIS IS WRESTLING!>”

The fans fire up as Mistico puts MJF back in the ring. Mistico then springboards again, SWANTON BOMB! MJF sputters into the drop zone and Mistico goes up the corner! MOONSAULT, but MJF moves! Mistico rolls through as best he can, and he SNAP POWERSLAMS! Cover, TWO!! MJF survives, MVP is frustrated on his behalf, but Mistico covers again, TWO! MJF is still in this but the fans are still behind Mistico. Mistico stands MJF up and CHOPS! The fans rally, Mistico runs, but MJF SPITS in Mistico’s face! Mistico is pissed, but MJF dodges the haymaker! Mistico blocks MJF’s kick, but MJF POKES Mistico in the eyes!

MJF runs, but Mistico SUPERKICKS! MJF rebounds to FOREARM! Mistico rebounds to hop on, DESTROYER!! MJF staggers but he SUPERKICKS back! Cover, TWO!! Mistico survives, and both men are showing us why they were each record-setting champions in their companies! The fans rally up more and more, “ESTA LUCHA!” MVP talks with Lashley & Shelton, and MJF rises up. MJF goes to the apron, and then up the ramp? Is MJF quitting? Mistico rushes up after MJF, tilt-o-whirl and- NO, MJF stops La Mystica to hit a TOMBSTONE on the stage!! The ref hurries to check Mistico while the fans go nuts!

MVP hurries to check on MJF and tells him to get up. MJF grabs the ref and drags him away to the ring. MJF now wants the win by count out! The count begins, the fans count along, and Mistico is still down at tres. MJF lies down to mock Mistico, but Mistico rises at cinco! The fans are thunderous as Mistico fires himself up, and he runs down the ramp to then slide into the ring at nueve! The fans are thunderous and MJF is stunned! MJF covers his ears to block out the chants for Mistico, but then he drags Mistico to a corner. MJF calls his shot, goes up the corner, but Mistico springs up! GAMANGIRI! GAMANGIRI! And GAMANGIRI!!

Mistico fires up, GAMANGIRIS again, then he goes up top! Mistico steadies himself, brings MJF up, and hits a SUPER SPANISH FLY!! Mistico crawls to the cover, TWO!!! MJF survives and Mistico is stunned, but the fans give him strength to rise again. Mistico runs up on MJF, tilt-o-whirl and LA MYSTICA!! FUJIWARA ARMBAR!! But MVP distracts the ref!! MJF TAPS, but it doesn’t count!! Mistico is furious, MVP continues to keep the ref’s attention, MJF LOW BLOWS Mistico!! Roll-up, high stack, but now the distraction is backfiring! The ref is late to the count, TWO!! Mistico survives and The Hurt Syndicate is apoplectic!

The fans are electric as Mistico survives! “ESTA LUCHA!” as MJF and the ref argue now. MJF then runs up to LOW BLOW Mistico!??!

Winner: Mistico, by disqualification

Typical MJF throws a tantrum with that blatant breaking of the rules! The fans boo, the ref reprimands, but then MJF SHOVES the ref down! That’ll be a fine, but MJF just rains down fists on Mistico! Lashley & Shelton join in! The fans boo as the Hurt Syndicate mugs Mistico! Then MJF threatens to do it! He grins, and he grabs Mistico’s mask! MJF SNATCHES it away!! The fans are furious as MJF holds up his trophy, and then puts it on! MJF flips everyone off while wearing Mistico’s mask, but here come Bandido, Templario y Titan! They won’t let this disrespect go unpunished! In fact, who is that climbing up the corners?! Kevin Knight & “Speedball” Mike Bailey are here!!

4 Million Pesos Fatal 4 Way: Ricochet VS Mascara Dorada VS Holo.grm VS Lio Rush!

The One & Only is still looking for someone, anyone, to be worthy of following him on his journey to gold. Maybe having an extra $210K will help that? Or will someone else cash in big with a Grand Slam?

The bell rings and the four watch each other. Ricochet tries to bond with Bryce Remsburg over being bald but Bryce isn’t having it. Ricochet and the others all approach center, but then Lio says forget this. Lio goes to a corner to soak up heat, and Ricochet talks it over with the luchadores. They all step up and Lio sees he is surrounded. Lio says hold on, let’s take it easy. But then Ricochet sucker punches Dorada! Ricochet stomps away on Dorada, Lio DECKS Hologram and stomps him, too! The fans boo but Ricochet and Lio soak up the heat. They shake hands and trade luchadores. Then they coordinate, and they run corner to corner to trade again, LARIATS in the corners!

Then Dorada gives Hologram a boost so he can DOUBLE DROPKICK Ricochet & Lio outta the ring! That leaves Hologram and Dorada to square off. The fans fire up as they go forehead to forehead, and then they speed up! Only for Ricochet and Lio to trip them both up! The fans boo as Lio RAMS Dorada into railing on one side and Ricochet THROWS Hologram into railing on the other! Ricochet soaks up heat while Lio rains down fists on Dorada.

Ricochet THROWS Hologram into more railing, then Lio talks trash. Ricochet soaks up heat, Lio sends Dorada hard into the railing! And in Arena Mexico, these railings are bolted to the floor, there is far less give than AEW’s ringside barriers. Lio puts Dorada in the ring and Ricochet is there to bring him up.

Ricochet gives some Latino Heat while soaking up the heat. Lio intercepts Hologram at the ropes, he and Ricochet double whip, and they DOUBLE ELBOW him down!

CMLL Women’s World Championship: Zeuxis VS Mercedes Mone!

Winner: Mercedes Mone, by pinfall (NEW CMLL Women’s World Champion)

Even Mone is a bit surprised, but she flipped things around on Zeuxis and has taken yet another title! Mone holds up the FIVE championships in her collection and the streams fly! Will The CEO only add to her treasury when she and- Wait, speaking of Toni Storm, she’s on the tron! “She’s the kind of woman who always has money on her mind and someone else on her lips. She’s the kind of woman mother takes home to you. With thighs as big as the world and long as a wet dream. One thing she did know how to hold the gold, and not the Acapulco kind, either. She had a date with a Chief Executive Officer who wanted a kiss, but one belt too many.

“Deepthroat some tabasco, baby, it’s time to turn up the heat. There was one chance in a million she would bump into her past, but like everything out of the past, it was all behind her now.” The fans cheer as the noir narration ends, because surprise! That’s… Mina Shirakawa? Because Toni Storm sneaks into the ring from the crowd! The fans fire up as the lady in red takes a sniff of the gold. Mone realizes what’s going on now, and Toni reels her in for a FIVE BELT GERMAN SUPLEX!! Toni goes from Marlowe to Brando to fire off on her contender! The fans cheer as Mone runs away and Toni gives her chase! She gets Mone at the ramp but the refs stop her!

The fans boo and Mone scrambles away through the streamers! One lucky fan gets Mone to hug her as she cowers in fear. Toni grabs a mic to shout, “Let the games begin~!” Toni revels in the streamers while Mone pulls at her hair in frustration! Will the AEW Women’s World Championship be the one belt Mone doesn’t take?

But there’s no running from what’s coming! 24 days remain before All In, will they be the last 24 days Moxley has as champion?


My Thoughts:

Awesome night for AEW’s first show in Mexico, even with things going about how I expected. For one, Mone of course won the title, because why else would they even do this match if not to give her one more belt? Though, what’s wild is that she picked up another belt without much hype or press from AEW. I guess European Wrestling Alliance hopes this gets them some attention. But good stuff with Toni Storm’s noir video and the sneak attack. And I would hope Toni retains the title at All In to keep Mone from going Ultimo Dragon just yet.

Cash Wheeler and Claudio Castagnoli both had travel issues, so I understand subbing people in. But did a 12 Man Tag really need to become a 14 Man Tag for it? And seeing as how I don’t cover CMLL’s own programming, I have NO idea why Atlantis Senior & Junior are getting booed. Is it a “Cena Wins LOL” situation where Junior is winning too much? That’s the only thing I can really think of offhand. But naturally, the Faces of that match won, as The Don Callis Family was rolling last week and needed humbling. I would think we still get Adam Cole VS Kyle Fletcher 2 now, and maybe Kyle wins the title so that the Don Callis Family has something.

Although, Callis seems to be bringing Okada into the fold for whatever reason, so he could end up bringing the “Unified” Continental & International Championship to the family. Okada VS Briscoe was great, and naturally Okada got the win. Mistico VS MJF was great stuff, up until MJF gave up and gave Mistico the win there. I know MJF loves getting heat, but him being the first man to snatch Mistico’s mask away like that is some HUGE heat. Also, I think I said it way back during some feud Penta had in AEW, but are masks really sacred if they’re willing to let them get ripped, stretched, and even yanked away? Or has that been lucha libre kayfabe all along? Either way, great stuff with JetSpeed and the other luchadores showing up, lots of matches set up with that.

Great Fatal 4 Way, and great win for Hologram to stay undefeated, but I will again criticize needing to do money prizes for these things. They should’ve set Hologram up for a title match twice over by now but TK is apparently making Hologram his top undefeated guy. Like if Goldberg was more than just big and strong and could actually do stuff… Also, while they obviously didn’t work together the entire time, I just feel like Ricochet having Lio Rush & Action Andretti become his crew (what with them being CRU and all) is the right move. Or perhaps this story of finding a faction is going to be an ongoing gag that no one likes Ricochet and would never follow him.

Then a great 10 Man Tag main event, though a little redundant considering Anarchy in the Arena was only a few weeks ago. Still good stuff for everybody, especially Mortos since he got to sub in for Claudio. Of course Marina gets involved so that the Heels win, but great stuff with Hangman going after Moxley. Hangman did a great job in his promo speaking Espanol to show respect to the fans. Naturally, Moxley gets away, that’s his whole thing. I really hope Ospreay, Swerve and The Opps keep the Death Riders and Bucks at bay so Hangman doesn’t get screwed over at All In. It’d be garbage if, after all this time and energy, it doesn’t pay off with Hangman as the triumphant hero.

My Score: 9/10
