Mansoor, Mason Madden, Johnny TV & Taya Valkyrie are all here, and dressed for Texas! Taya says “Hello, Arlington, how are you? Yes, I’m gorgeous, I know. And oh, I did not come alone. We are MXM TV! Pure talent, pure class, chaos, and violence! And while you all sit here in your filth, depressed and underdressed, we came here with a life-changing announcement!” Johnny takes the mic to say that before they change everyone’s lives, there is business to take care of. Mansoor & Mason were just competing in the Land of the Rising Sun, in the squared circles of Japan, where they are now regarded as the most legendary of legends in Japanese history!

So let’s welcome them back to ‘Murica with a standing ovation! The fans do applaud, and Johnny says okay, nice to see their slimy rear-ends weren’t stuck to their chairs. They stood on their hooves. But are they stupid? He means cheer! He will put this mic in that guy’s mouth! They just don’t give these jackets away! These jackets are for stars! Let’s hear it, ladies and gentlemen! The fans cheer a bit more, Mansoor says he appreciates Johnny’s enthusiasm, but you can’t expect ignorant “gaijin” to understand! MXM Collection did in fact catwalk the King’s Road, they mastered Strong Style, and they got these sweet, sweet Ribera jackets.

Because when MXM jackets, they jacket together! What? Uh… The fans chant “Jacket! Jacket!” Mason says Strong Style and jackets weren’t the only things they got over there. They also learned that the fans over there actually smell alright! It is all the ignorant, disgusting mutants here filling their noses with filth! So MXM Labs have come up with a new concept: Perfume! They cue up a commercial? “Beneath the surface, something stirs.” “A piercing glance that turns hips.” “A heat that makes you touch tips.” “A gaze that feels like a drop in a puddle.” “Because deep down, everyone wants to be planted and watered.”

“MXM Collection presents: Seed. Let it grow inside you.” Fans chant for “SEED! SEED! SEED!” MXM TV says again, “Let it grow inside you. Seeeeed~!” Well, okay. Will anyone care to buy MXM TV’s Seed?

Or will the Sons of Texas ride off into the sunset as conquering heroes?

 

“It’s been a long road…”

“…to a wild frontier. Where those who fight with honor can strike it rich. Thought fighting without can be a means to an end. This land has been ruled with an iron fist, but change is in the air. While tales of honor spread far and wide, one story has been told more than most. That of the legend, and legend in the making. Then there is the outlaw with a heart of gold, and gold around his waist, who returned for what he never lost, and found he is still The Most Wanted. Tonight, we’re deep in the heart of Texas, so mount up. And welcome to the Lonestar State. Welcome to ROH Supercard of Honor!”

ROH World Tag Team Championships: Dustin Rhodes & Sammy Guevara VS The Infantry!

From one part of Shane Taylor Promotions to another, The Natural & Spanish God had a verbal confrontation with Shawn Dean & Carlie Bravo just last night on Honor Club. There wasn’t nearly as much respect shown by The Infantry to them as Moriarty did with Blue Panther, but perhaps that edge is needed if they want to finally reign. Will Dean & Bravo hit the champs with Two 2 Da Head? Or will the Sons of Texas be unstoppable in their home state?

Wait, Sammy is Superman? Oh, never mind, green screen effect. Dustin walks over and asks what Sammy is doing. Sammy explains that it’s a PPV, they can do another special entrance.

Backstage interview with Red Velvet.

Lexy Nair is with The Chef, and notes that earlier this week, news broke that Velvet is not cleared to compete due to injury. With that, there will be an Interim ROH Women’s World TV Champion crowned tonight, so what are her feelings on that? Velvet says Supercard of Honor was supposed to be another night where she showed everyone exactly why she IS the ROH Women’s World TV Champion. But life had other plans. She is injured, can’t compete tonight, but trust her, no one is more frustrated than her. She was supposed to prove to everybody that her reign wasn’t just built on moments, but on grit.

And yes, with all that said, a new interim champion will be crowned. Whoever that is, they better wear the belt with pride, with honor. But don’t get it twisted: Your countdown to losing that title to Velvet has only just begun. Velvet will watch this match very closely. In fact, she’ll do it from ringside!

Konosuke powers up and out., RAMS Bandido, then runs. Bandido dodges, tilt-o-whirl but Konosuke stops that. Bandido comes back to wheelbarrow and arm-drag! Konosuke goes out, Bandido builds speed, but Konosuke avoids the sliding dropkick! Both men slide in, they both finger gun!

My Thoughts:

An awesome night for ROH, even though there were some last minute changes. They kept talking for weeks that Supercard would be the start of the ROH Women’s Pure Championship tournament, but that fell through. Then Red Velvet is injured so she couldn’t compete tonight, but we got an awesome Fatal 4 Way to crown the interim champion. Great win for Mina, she finally has something tangible to hold onto for her time here in AEW/ROH, and whenever Velvet is healthy enough, they’ll have a great “Undisputed Women’s TV Championship” match.

I think the “50K Fatal 4 Way” was also something to make up for no Women’s Pure Championship tournament match. Because duh, it’s all kayfabe money and filler. AR Fox is Mr. Money Match, though, so I do like that. But why not make this a #1 Contender’s Match to the ROH World TV title? Fox VS Nick Wayne is just perfect story there. Nick VS Titan was awesome stuff, but of course Nick retains with help from Mama Shayna and Stepbrother Kip. Plus, Titan is still more a CMLL and NJPW wrestler, ROH isn’t giving up the TV title to CMLL again after having Atlantis Jr. hold it last year.

Oku VS Hechicero was great stuff to open the show, adding Rev-Pro to the big crossover going on in AEW. Great win for Hechi, but I’m sure we’ll see Oku again with Forbidden Door: London coming. Moriarty VS Panther was a great Pure Championship match, one of the best ones we’ve seen, but naturally Moriarty won out. Really fun Superman & Green Lantern cosplay from Sammy & Dustin, though I totally expected more Batman with that teaser. Great tag title match, and I guess The Sons of Texas winning makes sense with them setting up something for All In. But seriously, nothing against the Von Erichs, but those ROH World Six Man titles need to be off them and on a team that we see more often.

And of course, awesome stuff in the “double main event” of the world titles. I’m really surprised Athena won, if only because we’re passing 900 days, and I cannot at all think who can dethrone her at this point. And I swear if they default back to Athena VS Billie when that should’ve ended things at the end of 2024… Bandido VS Konosuke really raised the bar on this weekend, and not just within AEW/ROH. Bandido winning out was the natural move, Konosuke taking the title would just mean the ROH World Champion doesn’t even show up on Honor Club. But also, Hechicero calling Bandido out, that match is going to be awesome.

My Score: 9.1/10
