Six Man Tag: The Learning Tree VS Bandido & The Outrunners!

The ROH World Champion, Chris Jericho, brought ROH to the Rock ‘n’ Rager at Sea, and surely he’ll take credit for bringing Global Wars to Australia. But will he, Bryan Keith & “Big Bill” be able to bring down The Most Wanted once and for all? Or will Truth Magnum & Turbo Floyd help Bandido humble The Nueve?

Wait a minute, Jericho has fans here in Brisbane? Who knew. Bandido then makes his entrance, followed by… LOS Outrunners? Truth & Turbo have hot pink lucha masks, and Jericho can’t help but laugh. Bill complains that they were supposed to face THE Outrunners, not LOS Outrunners! The trios sort out, Jericho also wants to make sure this isn’t some chicanery. Jericho calls out “Verdad Magnum,” but he gets Bandido instead. The ref calls for the Code of Honor, and Jericho is hesitant. Jericho reaches out, but then just waves, “Hi, guys~!” The fans are torn but the bell rings, and Jericho jumps around like he won!

The fans rally as Jericho and Bandido circle, then they feel things out. Jericho now offers a handshake? The fans boo, they know better than that. Bandido reaches out, but then Jericho flips Bandido off! Bandido kicks low! Jericho scrambles away, and the Bad Apple tags in! Keith says #RESPECTCHRISJERICHO, but the fans cheer for Bandido. Bandido and Keith tie up, then Keith kicks low! The fans boo but Keith headlocks. Bandido powers up and out, drops down, then hurdles. Keith leaps over, comes back, Bandido sweeps the legs! Cover, ONE! Keith sweeps the legs to cover, ONE! Bandido handsprings up and aims his finger gun!

The fans cheer, Keith takes a swing, but Bandido dodges! Bandido DROPKCIKS Keith down and Keith scrambles away! The fans cheer Bandido on, but then Jericho tags back in. The fans boo but Jericho pretends he can’t hear them, brother. Jericho and Bandido circle, but fans chant, “We Want Bill! We Want Bill!” Jericho CLAWS Bandido’s eyes, snapmares and KICKS Bandido! Jericho asks, do the fans want Bill? Too bad! Jericho CHOPS, whips, but Bandido handsprings! Jericho dodges, but Bandido drop toeholds, and Bandido cha-chas all over Jericho’s back! “OLE!” The fans cheer and Bandido tags in “Verdad!”

Verdad ROCKS Jericho, headlocks, but Jericho SNATCHES the mask! It IS Truth Magnum! The fans boo and Bandido protests, how disrespectful! But Truth winds up to DECK Jericho! Truth gets his mask back, and Verdad lives! The fans cheer, but Jericho kicks low! Jericho runs to run Truth over, then he goes up, FLYING RANA! Jericho reminds us he has lucha training, then he DECKS Truth! Jericho scoops, Truth slips free, but Jericho blocks a kick! Jericho FLIPS Truth, but Truth manages to land out! Truth ducks ‘n’ dodges to tilt-o-whirl RANA! Then a RUNNING RARNA! Truth wrenches Jericho, tag to, uh, well, Turbo is Turbo even in Espanol.

But Truth gives Jericho an atomic drop! Jericho stumbles into Turbo’s atomic drop! Then the Outrunners double whip to DOUBLE JAPANESE ARM-DRAG! Truth y Turbo stand tall and flex, but Jericho hot tags Bill! The fans are thunderous, and even Bill is surprised. Bill says L F G, and he storms into the ring. The fans chant for “BILL! BILL! BILL!” Bill and Turbo step up, and Bill grabs Turbo by the neck! Bill puts Turbo in the corner, then CHOPS! The fans fire up again while Turbo sputters. Fans want it “One More Time! One More Time!” Bill stands Turbo up to CHOP him again! Turbo falls over, and Bill revels in the cheers.

Bill drags Turbo up, but Turbo CHOPS! Bill is not affected! Turbo tries to scoop, but Bill’s too big! Turbo runs, Bill CLOBBERS him! The fans cheer, Bill looms over Turbo, and Bill drags Turbo up. Turbo CHOPS, but Bill still isn’t affected! Turbo tries again, but he still can’t scoop the Redwood! Bill runs, ducks a lariat, and he dropkicks the legs out! Then Turbo knuckle locks Bill, goes up a corner, and then he tightrope walks! The fans cheer as Turbo goes step by step, corner to corner! The fans cheer, and Turbo turns the corner to keep going! The fans cheer as Turbo makes it to the second corner! But wait, can he make it to the Learning Tree corner?

Jericho & Keith say stop it! They look to get in Turbo’s way, but Truth y Bandido YANK them down! Turbo makes it to the corner! The fans cheer, and Turbo says time to complete the lap! Turbo tightrope walks again, “This is Wrestling!” Turbo makes it back to home base! And then he tightrope walks a little more, and he flexes! Turbo FLYING ARM-DRAGS!

The fans fire up as Redwood and Powerhouse stare down, and the chant of “MEAT! MEAT! MEAT!” goes out. Hobbs dares Bill to do something, but Bill backs down. They’ll have their Street Fight on Dynamite, that’s good enough for him. Will Hobbs and Bill burn it down in Phoenix, Arizona? And Bandido has his pin on Jericho, when and where will they settle this, with the ROH World Championship on the line?

Athena speaks.

“Hello, Minions. I know it’s been awhile, but let me reintroduce myself. I am the Forever ROH Champion, the longest reigning champion in all of ROH history, The Fallen Goddess, the American Joshi, and soon to be the world dominator! But that brings me to tonight, and AEW-ROH Global Wars. Tonight, I face Alex Windsor, a woman who invited herself into my house, invited herself to my show. And didn’t knock, didn’t ring the doorbell, but she’s beaten porcelain hussy after porcelain hussy, from AEW and ROH, and some kinda way, she’s earned a shot at my title.

“But that’s fine. That’s so fine, that’s so great. Because this is just going to be another learning lesson for all of my Minions at MIT. I am NOT the one to be messed with, I am NOT the one to be taken lightly, and I don’t care what people say about me. I know that I am underappreciated, I know that I am overlooked, and I am the BEST champion in all of wrestling, and that should NOT be the case. So tonight… I’m gonna break another one, and I’m gonna break her so bad, that no one’s even gonna know her name.” The Fallen Goddess has spoken, but will she be able to break Titanium Windsor?

ROH Pure Championship: Lee Moriarty VS Robbie Eagles!

#TAIGASTYLE has dominated this division, even getting the better of names like Matt Taven and Katsuyori Shibata. But going Down Under, he’s now in the sights of the Sniper of the Skies! Robbie is already dual IWGP Junior Heavyweight Tag Team Champion and Soul of PWA Champion, could we see the rise of #Robbie3Belts? Or will Moriarty make The Mighty fall?

The introductions are made, the ROH belt is raised, and we see who is most Pure!

The Code of Honor is upheld, the fans already chant for “ROBBIE ROBBIE ROBBIE! OI OI OI!” and the bell rings. We’re on the clock, not that Lee’s needed the time limit during his reign. The two tie up, Lee grabs an arm and wrenches. Lee hits an ELBOW BREAKER, then wristlocks. Eagles rolls, handsprings, and wrenches through to wristlock in return. Eagles wrenches again, the fans cheer, but Lee fights up. Lee spins, slips in, wrenches and wrangles Eagles. Eagles fights up, trips Lee and steps through, but Lee has the ROPEBREAK! Eagles lets go, and it is rare Lee is the first person to use one of his three allotted ropebreaks.

Eagles tells Lee it was that close, too. The fans rally up and the two reset. Eagles and Lee tie up again, go around in the collar ‘n’ elbow, then Eagles wrenches to a hammerlock. Lee slips around to switch the hammerlock, but Eagles switches it right back. They go around, Lee switches, but Eagles switches! Lee reaches out, but then he stomps Eagles’ foot! Lee standing switches to a waistlock, pushes Eagles at the ref, and the ref takes shelter in the ropes! Lee spins Eagles around to ROCK him with a haymaker! The fans boo as Lee gets away with a closed fist! Lee then brings Eagles up, but Eagles DECKS Lee with a haymaker!

The ref sees that closed fist, and Eagles has his warning at just the two minute mark. Lee then CLOBBERS Eagles, then stomps away on the ropes! The ref counts, the fans boo, but Lee lets off. Lee whips, Eagles reverses to go up and around to arm-drag! The fans cheer, Eagles keeps moving, and he hurdles Lee to then RANA! The fans cheer and Eagles WHEEL KICKS! Eagles kips up, the fans fire up, and we get more “ROBBIE ROBBIE ROBBIE!” “OI OI OI!” Eagles goes back to Lee but Lee body shots! Lee whips, Eagles reverses, but Lee slips out to the apron. Eagles runs up, Lee ROCKS Eagles, and Lee mocks the “ROBBIE ROBBIE ROBBIE!” before the HOTSHOT!

Lee runs in, runs Eagles over, then covers, ONE! Lee grabs the arm, Eagles rolls, but Lee wrenches and wrangles him, BORDER CITY STRETCH! Eagles scrambles, ROPEBREAK! Lee lets go, that’s Eagles’ first, but Lee stands on Eagles’ fingers. The fans rally, Lee stomps Eagles’ hand, wrenches him, and hits an ELBOW BREAKER! Lee knuckle locks, then he RAMS Eagles’ shoulder! Lee wrenches, then has Eagles in a motorcycle stretch. Eagles endures but Lee brings him to his knees. We pass four minutes but Eagles endures. Eagles fights up, the fans rally, and Eagles works to turn things! Lee powers the stretch back onto Eagles!

Eagles keeps fighting, going the other direction now! The fans rally, and Eagles turns things around! But Lee flips, kips, and arm-drags to then GROUND COBRA! Eagles scrambles to the ROPEBREAK! That’s his second, but Lee gets a cheap shot in as he lets off! Five minutes and Eagles is down to his last ropebreak. Lee ROCKS Eagles, CHOPS him down, then soaks up the heat. Eagles rises, and he KICKS! And KICKS! Lee blocks a kick but Eagles rolls through! GRAPEVINE, into RON MILLER SPECIAL! Lee scrambles to the ROPEBREAK! Eagles lets go, and now Lee has used his second!

Eagles storms up but Lee throat chops! The ref reprimands, but Eagles wrenches and CHOP BLOCKS! Then BLINDSIDE LARIAT! The fans rally up for Eagles as we hit six minutes, and Eagles KICKS! And KICKS! And KICKS! Eagles runs, TRIGGER GAMANGIRI! Lee flounders to a corner, Eagles aims from the other. Eagles runs in to DOUBLE KNEE, then Lee sits down. METEORA! Eagles drags Lee to a corner, TWO! Lee stays in this but Eagles stays focused. Eagles slashes his throat, the fans rally up, and Eagles cravats. But Lee fights that! Eagles CLUBS away on Lee, but Lee bends fingers! Lee SNAPS the fingers!

Lee reels Eagles in, straitjacket clinch, and then a yoyo into THE FANG! And from Fang into BORDER CITY STRETCH!! Eagles endures, reaches out, crawls his way forward, and the fans rally up! Eagles keeps fighting, ROPEBREAK! That’s his third and final, Lee roars as he has Eagles where he wants him! Lee reels Eagles in, suplexes, but Eagles slips free. Eagles shoves Lee, Lee BOOTS back, but Eagles tiger feints the legs out! Lee flounders, Eagles aims, springboard MISSILE DROPKICK to the knees! Then the step over, RON MILLER SPECIAL!! Lee flails, the fans fire up, and Lee reaches out, ROPEBREAK!

Eagles lets go, there are NO MORE ropebreaks! Eagles drags Lee back, but Lee kicks from below! Eagles just gets mad and hits a SPINNING TOEHOLD! Eagles goes to a corner and Brisbane rallies up! Eagles goes to the top rope, 450- NO, Lee dodges! Eagles rolls through, fires a strike fest, then hooks Lee up! But Lee spins Eagles out of the backpack into a FANG! Both men are down past nine minutes and the fans rally! Lee crawls to a cover, Eagles rolls it to one of his own! TWO!! Lee slips free, Eagles rolls him, schoolboy bridge, TWO!

Lee rolls Eagles around and around, BORDER CITY- Eagles makes it a cradle! TWO!! Lee escapes, goes to a corner, but goes up and over as Eagles runs in! Lee ELBOWS Eagles, Eagles ROUNDHOUSES, but Lee blocks it! Eagles rolls, but Lee stuffs the cradle! And holds ropes! Cover, LEE WINS!

Winner: Lee Moriarty, by pinfall (still ROH Pure Champion)

With no ropebreaks to count, that was a completely legal pin under ROH Pure Rules! Lee’s used that trick before, and it helped him again! Eagles is annoyed by that, but he keeps the Code of Honor. He also promises they’ll do this again some day. But will no one stop #TAIGASTYLE from defining ROH Pure Wrestling?

Mark Davis VS Tommy Knight!

He may have joined The Don Callis Family, but this is still Brisbane’s Dunkzilla! And while the Family couldn’t end Kenny Omega & Will Ospreay, will Davis make his mark here in ROH?

The bell rings and the big meaty men stare down. The fans rally, the two circle, and they tie up. Davis shoves Tommy back, then eggs him on. Tommy steps back up, the two tie up again, and Tommy waistlocks to headlock. Davis powers out but Tommy RAMS him! Neither man falls, so Tommy runs again. Tommy RAMS Davis, but Davis gets back in Tommy’s face. They RAM shoulder to shoulder, the fans chant “MEAT! MEAT!” Davis and Tommy go forehead to forehead, then knuckle lock for a Test of Strength! The fans rally, and Davis breaks the hold to kick low! Davis headlocks, Tommy powers up and out, but Davis CLOBBERS him!

Brisbane cheers their hometown hero, but will Davis still be playing the villain alongside the Don Callis Family? Or can he be freed from his contract with Callis?

Backstage interview with Alex Windsor.

Lexy Nair is with Titanium Windsor, and brings up the title match she has with Athena. We saw Athena’s strong words for her, how does that affect Alex’s focus? Alex says this isn’t the first time she’s faced someone of such high caliber. Look at Athena. Not only is she the longest reigning Women’s Champion, she’s the longest reigning champion in ROH period. So Alex understands if Athena underestimates her, if Athena doesn’t take her seriously. Let her! Because that could be the biggest mistake of her career. And in doing so, we could be looking at the NEW ROH Women’s World Champion, Alex Windsor! The confidence is not shaken, but will that be Alex’s undoing?

ROH World Tag Team Championships: Dustin Rhodes & Sammy Guevara VS MXM Collection!

While The Natural was settling things with Maxwell Jacob Friedman, The Spanish God had a run in with Mansoor & Mason Madden in Daily’s Place. Sammy won the match, but was then mugged and robbed of the belt! MXM have given it a makeover, will they get the other belt to match? Or will the Sons of Texas stand tall Down Under?

ROH Women’s World Championship: Athena VS Alex Windsor!

The Fallen Goddess is the record-setting champion here in ROH at 799 DAYS, but she faces a woman who did very much the same in Rev-Pro as British Women’s Champion. Will Windsor be the one that brings the Forever Reign to an end? Or will Athena turn Titanium Windsor into porcelain?

Hmm, Momo Watanabe is back in the crowd after having also watched AEW Grand Slam: Australia on Saturday. Perhaps the International Women’s Cup champion is aiming at this title, too. The introductions are made, the belt is raised, and we see who wins this Global War!

Alex roars, runs up, but Athena ducks the discus to DDT! Then Athena runs, to SHOTGUN Alex into a corner! Athena snapmares Alex, goes up the corner, for the O-FACE!! Cover, Athena wins!

Winner: Athena, by pinfall (still ROH Women’s World Champion)

Another challenge, another win, and Athena now reaches EIGHT HUNDRED DAYS!! “Historic” doesn’t even cover it at this point, but Momo might look to change that. Will Athena and Momo settle things from WrestleDynasty? Or will Momo still find another target to cash in on?

My Thoughts:

A great event for ROH, especially for bringing back Global Wars. The Aussie crowd is a lot of fun, they still had energy for this even after doing Grand Slam. That was a great Six Man Tag to open, and the fans absolutely loved Big Bill. But the Faces of course won, helping Bandido get the win on Jericho to set up their title match. Hobbs showing up was also a natural move, and that helps hype this week’s Street Fight on Dynamite. I would think Hobbs wins that, and maybe, just maybe, Bill breaks away from Jericho and the fans can cheer him on even more. And as I’ve said before, Bandido could/should dethrone Jericho if it happens on the ROH return to cable.

Great squash win for Davis. Tommy Knight looked good in the loss but between being the hometown guy and needing to build himself now that he’s fully in Don Callis Family, Davis was of course winning. And likewise, of course the title status quo was staying the same. But like I say, it works just fine when the matches are really good, and that’s what happened here. Eagles pushed Lee to his limit, or at least the ropebreak limit, but Lee brought out that same sneaky tactic he used before. Also, Eagles already has two titles, he wasn’t winning a third. Who knows who takes the Pure title off Lee but he’s going to have a great reign until then.

The Sons of Texas VS MXM was very good, and of course Dustin & Sammy win to retain the championships, but I’m a little surprised MXM get away with the belt. I really think this should be a case, both in reality and kayfabe, that Sammy is just given a new copy of the ROH World Tag Team Championship. I can’t see there being an actual rematch just because MXM is holding the physical item hostage. Well, okay, I guess that logic falls apart looking at Kevin Owens and Cody Rhodes with their feud over the WWE Championship, but whatever.

And good promos from Athena and Alex going into their great main event match. Big boon for Women’s Wrestling worldwide as NXT Vengeance Day sandwiched their show with women’s titles, then Grand Slam and Global Wars both ended with women’s titles. Momo is still waiting to choose her opponent, which is a little surprising given she isn’t a champion in Stardom. But maybe she doesn’t want to just redo a Stardom title reign and wants to expand her résumé. I feel like Momo should still choose Mercedes Mone just for the NJPW Strong Women’s Championship but I could see the appeal of taking down THE longest reigning champion in ROH history.

My Score: 8.8/10
