00:00The following contest scheduled for one fall is a no holds barred, lights out match.
00:18Introducing first, from the 305, Miami, Florida, Diamante!
00:28The bad blood has been brewing and it has come to a boil here this week on Ring of Honor.
00:34Ah!
00:35Did I tell you first time?
00:36And if this is the action you're seeing week to week here on Ring of Honor, imagine what
00:37you'll see one week from tomorrow!
00:38These two doing battle here tonight.

01:15Layla!
01:16And a few weeks ago, Caprice, you'll remember, the challenge was laid out for a no holds
01:17barred fight.
01:18Now we can't just let all of the rules go out the window.
01:19to pick up the victory here tonight against Diamante,
01:21taking 4-0 to 5-0 in this lights out match.
01:27And Diamante, who is looking to not only pick up a win
01:31here tonight, but to assert herself.
01:33That's 4-0 right now, she's calling 4-5,
01:36but she's in a different playground.
01:38This is Diamante's land.
01:40She's got a known wrestler against a street fighter
01:45in a street fight.
01:46I think the street fighter wins.
01:49And the 5-0, let's be clear, is Laila calling her shot
01:56to add a fifth victory here tonight.
01:59And of course, fans, before we get too far into the violence,
02:03we'd like to thank the sponsor of Death Before Dishonor.
02:05Oh, God!
02:07Jazz Wares, who have opened up the vault
02:11to introduce future shock Adam Cole, Kyle O'Reilly,
02:14those great throwback figures.
02:15I understand there's more to come.
02:16Oh, I got a sneak peek.
02:17They're fantastic.
02:19And with more impact like that,
02:21Laila Hirsch will not be seeing anything but stars.
02:24Oh, goodness.
02:25Oh, wow.
02:26Diamante's taking out the trash.
02:29Look at this.
02:32Oh, wait a minute.
02:32And defenseless!
02:34Laila Hirsch is defenseless here.
02:37Not only defenseless, this hurts,
02:39crushing you in the corners of the can,
02:41and also the sound breaks the eardrums,
02:44so it's like a ringing that you hear for weeks.
02:48Oh, my God.
02:49You're sitting there like a duck.
02:51That concussive noise.
02:55Oh, my goodness.
02:56I said stop playing about me.
02:59Look at that.
03:00Laila Hirsch is gonna be hearing a ringing in her ear
03:02for a long time.
03:04And that's gonna be disorienting
03:06throughout this whole match here
03:07in Little Rock, Arkansas, Caprice.
03:09Throws your balance off, your equilibrium.
03:13Oh, God, that knee.
03:14Is it like a sick-on-the-stomach-vomiting-type feeling?
03:18And Caprice, Laila Hirsch's injured knee
03:19right into the barricade.
03:21Yep.
03:22Up and over goes Diamante.
03:25Wow!
03:28Oh, she's gonna put that knee to the test right here.
03:30Setting up the chair.
03:32This is a high risk on too many situations here.
03:36Yeah.
03:38And able to get just enough of Diamante
03:41as they brawl into the crowd here
03:44in Little Rock, Arkansas.
03:46Ring of Honor's debut
03:48here in Arkansas.
03:51And Diamante's gonna switch and Laila Hirsch.
03:53She didn't know Laila Hirsch had.
03:56Oh, my God.
03:57You can see Diamante has that chair ready, though.
04:00But a waist lock.
04:03And it's Diamante
04:04with the chair.
04:06Oh, a round!
04:07Into the hip.
04:08And now into the midsection.
04:10And across the back!
04:13Yeah, this is Diamante's world.
04:15You can see what Diamante's got back inside.
04:17She already had that chair in sight,
04:19just waiting for an opportunity to use it.
04:21Oh, no!
04:22Oh, my gosh.
04:23Right across the back.
04:25Gotta remember the head, the eyes,
04:27everything is beaming
04:29on Hirsch right now.
04:30And now the back.
04:33Sending Hirsch now
04:35into that apron.
04:37Hip first.
04:38He's continuing to go to work now.
04:40Oh, God!
04:43That running hip toss.
04:45That lower back driven into the barricade.
04:51Diamante here.
04:52Oh, no.
04:53Tell you what, Diamante looks so comfortable
04:55in the outside of the ring.
04:58And even more comfortable!
05:00As she sails through the sky!
05:04Driving!
05:06Those
05:08sneakers through the chair.
05:11She came equipped to move
05:13quick and fast and efficiently.
05:16Diamante is here to fight.
05:17Now in the inside.
05:18Hooks the leg.
05:19Two!
05:21You can even tell by the dress
05:22that to
05:23to Layla Hirsch,
05:24this is just another match.
05:25And
05:26with Diamante, this is a fight,
05:27and Diamante's dressed for the occasion.
05:33And Diamante now
05:36searching under the ring.
05:38What is
05:38a plunger?
05:40Now explain that, Rick.
05:41You explain everything.
05:43Explain the plunger.
05:44Tony Anthony's from the south.
05:47Maybe the Dirty White Boy's here.
05:48I don't know.
05:49He used to carry around a plunger.
05:51I can't explain this.
05:52What is-
05:52I'm gonna embarrass you, Layla!
05:56Whoa!
05:56Plunger blocked!
06:01And
06:01now shot to the midsection.
06:03Layla Hirsch.
06:05Grabbing a hold of the wrist.
06:06Spins through.
06:07Clothesline!
06:07Sends Diamante down.
06:10Layla Hirsch almost had a Little Rock DNA on her
06:12for the rest of her life.
06:14Whoa!
06:17And look at this!
06:22The crowd
06:23getting plunged!
06:25Plunged!
06:26Oh my goodness.
06:28These arms are pinned!
06:29Oh my god!
06:30Whoa!
06:32Whoa!
06:35Whoa!
06:36And now with the turbine lights out!
06:39Who knows where that's been?
06:41You can smell it from here!
06:43Oh goodness!
06:47And Layla Hirsch now
06:50getting revenge with the chair.
06:53Of course, both women top contenders
06:56for the championships here at Ring of Honor.
06:58But tonight!
07:00It is not about that!
07:01A running
07:02Van Terminator-style move there!
07:05Hooks the leg!
07:06Two!
07:07Two!
07:08Oh my god, I tell you that
07:10the chair already in play.
07:12Layla Hirsch putting another one there.
07:13It takes all the ricochet
07:15away and puts a dead-blood-force
07:18shot on Diamante's face there.
07:20Diamante in a lot of trouble
07:21and Layla Hirsch still on the crown.
07:24And Hirsch just threw that chair.
07:26It smashed Diamante in the head.
07:31And Hirsch,
07:32there can't be another plunge.
07:33If there's another one,
07:34I don't know what to say.
07:35It might be a toilet.
07:38Oh wow.
07:42I'm not even gonna try to guess what's in there.
07:44Every time I guess the last few times, I was wrong.
07:48Oh, it's Thumbtacks!
07:49It's Thumbtacks!
07:51That's what I thought it was.
07:52I thought it was Thumbtack.
07:54That's what I was gonna say.
07:55Well, we had Legos last year
07:57at Death Before Dishonor.
07:59Oh goodness!
08:01Dropped to a hold on the chair.
08:03Tell you what, those Thumbtacks, man,
08:04they stick to you.
08:05It doesn't even matter who lands.
08:07Oh my goodness!
08:10Wait a minute!
08:11To the brick!
08:14Oh my God, it's everywhere.
08:18They're gonna need pliers to get these Thumbtacks out.
08:21And those are affecting individual nerve endings
08:25on each athlete.
08:27As both went crashing into the Thumbtacks.
08:30Even Paul Turner's gonna have Thumbtacks in his hands.
08:33The involuntary movement.
08:36Oh, wait a minute.
08:37There is a cable that has been there
08:39since the start of the match.
08:42Diamante with just a touch of madness in her eyes.
08:48Looking to go to the dark side here with Layla Hirsch
08:50who grabbed the kendo stick.
08:54Through the shoulder!
08:55Across the back!
08:56Just swiping away now.
08:58Looking like Alec Baume in the Home Run Derby.
09:01St. Layla Hirsch is swinging for survival,
09:03swinging for everything she has.
09:04She's in a situation she hasn't been in in a long time.
09:08She's got Thumbtacks in her.
09:09She's got an earring.
09:11Ears drum.
09:12Ear drums ring.
09:15Diamante now.
09:18Hirsch on the table.
09:22Tell you what, Rick O'Bynum,
09:23when you have Thumbtacks stuck in you,
09:24you feel all your muscle movements.
09:27And sometimes you move your arm and little stuff,
09:29you can feel like the muscles being...
09:33Never seen Layla Hirsch take this type of risk.
09:37We haven't seen this in a while from Hirsch.
09:39All the way up top!
09:40Oh! And we've never seen it through a table!
09:47Move executed.
09:49Now to see if Layla Hirsch has enough in her
09:52to finish the match.
09:55The high risk with so many situations.
09:58Hirsch could have hurt herself as well.
10:02Thinking the same thing you are, Caprice.
10:04Those ribs, which took some damage earlier in the bout
10:07from the chair from Diamante.
10:10You see Hirsch holding on.
10:13And that will affect your breathing.
10:15Yeah, that right there.
10:16Unseparated shoulder.
10:18So many things could have happened to Diamante.
10:19Definitely, look, the past situation.
10:22Oh, wait a minute.
10:24Hirsch with another chair and a table.
10:30And if there was ever any question about that...
10:32Oh, the blood coming from Diamante's ear.
10:37And if there was any question of how that knee would held up,
10:40hold up, Hirsch pulled out a moonsault for the first time
10:45in what I can remember here on Ring of Honor,
10:48a move she did before the knee surgery.
10:51Yeah.
10:52Sometimes you have to dig deep, man.
10:54You in these types of situations,
10:56you dig deep into that playbook.
10:59And we're seeing a side of Laila Hirsch
11:00we haven't seen in a long time.
11:02And Laila might have needed this.
11:05Just diving up the violence with each movement,
11:09with each plan, premeditated as Diamante,
11:14as the kendo stick now.
11:16And look at Hirsch.
11:18Everything is calculated.
11:19Looking to set up the table.
11:22On or near those thumbtacks.
11:24Looking to get the most back for Herpa.
11:26Laila Hirsch has plans, but so does Diamante.
11:30And Laila Hirsch is gonna have to go get Diamante.
11:32Diamante's sitting and waiting.
11:34Just waiting. This is a bait right here.
11:38Yep, space.
11:39Oh!
11:42To the shoulder, the arm, the tricep, then ribs.
11:45Connecting on all fronts is Diamante.
11:48The dangerous part about this is,
11:50a lot of times when people get that bait and switch,
11:52whatever they set up ends up getting used against them.
11:55Oh.
11:57Oh no, and they're going right for the throat here.
12:00To take away the oxygen.
12:02Diamante is so comfortable with weapons,
12:05so comfortable with no rules.
12:07You can tell she's been in so many street fights.
12:12Across the chest there.
12:15And now it is Laila all the way up top.
12:21Diamante following her through.
12:24Diamante has to move fast,
12:26because Laila Hirsch has a base behind her
12:28on that outside of the ring.
12:30Short window here, Rick Cabane.
12:32Will Laila Hirsch can turn this around?
12:34Hirsch able to counter things.
12:36Yeah.
12:38Hirsch has a more solid base.
12:41Oh, look at this. Hirsch!
12:42Wait a minute!
12:45Hirsch looking for a footing!
12:47Hirsch!
12:47Hirsch up top!
12:49No way!
12:50Oh, great movement there.
12:52Diamante trying to hang on.
12:55She was looking for the pivot into the German.
12:57Diamante hangs on.
12:59Avoids certain danger with the table involved.
13:06And these two women have been cornerstones
13:09of the Ring of Honor Women's Division.
13:12One that will be headlining
13:14the Honor Club exclusive event one week from tomorrow.
13:17Tonight, headlining Ring of Honor!
13:21Tell you what, performances like this
13:23are people that want to be on the card.
13:25Pulling out all stops, doing everything they need to do.
13:29Diamante's in a bad situation on the top.
13:33Oh, but finds her footing.
13:35Very smart.
13:36That footing is everything.
13:37Now you can see that switch footing.
13:39Hirsch is in a bad situation now.
13:41You can see Diamante even able to sit back there.
13:44Diamante sitting up that—
13:45Oh, wait.
13:46Sunset Bomb!
13:47What is this?
13:49She might be looking for a Code Red!
13:51Code Red!
13:52That's gotta do it right there.
13:54Cover!
13:55Two!
13:56That's it!
13:58Here is your winner, Diamante!
14:03Three years in the making!
14:10Diamante!
14:13Avengers, one of the few women
14:16she could not beat.
14:18And as our eyes turn to death
14:21before Dishonor one week from tomorrow,
14:24Diamante, she's got a claim now, Caprice,
14:30to challenge, in my opinion,
14:33either woman that walks out
14:36either World Television or World Women's Champion
14:39at the end of Friday night one week from tomorrow.
14:45Take me in my yard, bring me to my house,
14:48and I'm gonna win every time.
14:50This was Diamante's fight to win.
14:52Laila Hirsch put up a great fight.
14:54Pulled out a lot of Laila Hirsch we haven't seen in a long time.
14:58But at the end of the day,
14:59this was Diamante's schoolyard to start with.
15:02And she walks out top bully.
15:05Diamante victorious this week.
15:07Fans next week.
15:08Albinata.
15:09Red Velvet.
15:10Five minutes as Athena.
15:12We will see what that means
15:14one week from tomorrow.
15:15Death before the title.
15:16For Caprice Coleman, I'm Andrew Cavani.
15:18Happy wrestling, everybody.
