00:00:00I'm standing here with the legendary Paul White.
00:00:03Paul, how have you enjoyed your time here with Ring of Honor?
00:00:07It's been fantastic here.
00:00:08You know, honestly, we're so excited about the future of Ring of Honor,
00:00:11where we're going, a lot of great plans for the future.
00:00:13Ring of Honor right now is on fire.
00:00:16Oh my gosh, I know it is.
00:00:17I'm so excited that you're here.
00:00:19You're doing a fantastic job.
00:00:21I mean, we watched your show.
00:00:22World Championship.
00:00:24Everything.
00:00:25I mean, you're Hollywood, we're Hollywood.
00:00:26We're cut from the same cloth.
00:00:27Legends recognize legends.
00:00:29And you know what?
00:00:30I couldn't agree with you more.
00:00:32Ring of Honor's on fire.
00:00:33Johnny TV's on fire.
00:00:35Ty Valkyrie's on fire.
00:00:36I'm so hot, as a matter of fact.
00:00:38I think it's about time that I get a title shot against Mark Briscoe.
00:00:43Well, first of all, thank you for your compliments.
00:00:47And Johnny, I agree.
00:00:48You have been on fire.
00:00:50Squeaky wheel gets the grease.
00:00:52You have your match, my friend.
00:00:54It worked out.
00:00:55Yes!
00:00:56Just as we planned.
00:00:58Thank you.
00:01:19Welcome, everyone, to Ring of Honor Wrestling Championship Edition.
00:01:22Tonight, a double main event.
00:01:24Dustin Rhodes and the Monarchs defend the Ring of Honor World Six-Man Championships
00:01:27against the Dominant Cage of Agony.
00:01:29Speaking of dominant champions, our Ring of Honor women's champion,
00:01:33Athena, is in the house, retaining her championship at death before dishonor.
00:01:37And we're here for her tonight.
00:01:39Not only that, Caprice, but a grudge match.
00:01:41Arya Daivari of the Premier Athletes goes one-on-one against the former pure champion,
00:01:45Katsayori Shibata, who's gotten under the skin of the Premier Athletes.
00:01:49I think we're going to keep the grudge match going, Rick Avani.
00:01:51This feud has been going on for a long time.
00:01:53The young man, Griff Garrison, the protege,
00:01:56will take on Serpentico, and this match thing is not over yet.
00:02:00Pure championship proving ground.
00:02:02We heard action at Dreddy.
00:02:04The target of Moriarty and Shane Taylor.
00:02:06Shane Taylor promotions it.
00:02:07Dreddy wins or goes the distance.
00:02:08He gets a shot at the pure title.
00:02:10I'll tell you what.
00:02:11This match right here is more than made for TV.
00:02:13It is for the Ring of Honor World Championship.
00:02:15The champion, Mark Briscoe, takes on Johnny TV, and it's coming up now.
00:02:21Ring of Honor World Championship on the line.
00:02:29This match is set for one fall with a 60-minute time limit,
00:02:33and it is for the Ring of Honor World Championship.
00:02:39Introducing first, the challenger, being accompanied by Tyler Valkyrie,
00:02:45wrestling out of Los Angeles, California,
00:02:47weighing 214 pounds, Johnny TV.
00:02:53Let's go, Johnny.
00:02:54Johnny TV has traveled all around the world.
00:02:58Championships in many countries, including Qatar,
00:03:01where you have wrestled, Caprice.
00:03:03Yes, sir.
00:03:04But one championship, one destination has eluded him.
00:03:07That's ROH.
00:03:10And Johnny TV can rectify that,
00:03:12and his name to the history books here tonight.
00:03:15Looking like they just walked out of GQ magazine.
00:03:18Always TV ready is Johnny TV.
00:03:21Look at that.
00:03:22What you all on about, Rick and Bonnie?
00:03:23I'm going to need you to keep that same energy later tonight.
00:03:26That's what married people do.
00:03:28How do you think we got here?
00:03:29Well, I mean, I was worried he was going to slip off the ropes
00:03:32after that display of love there.
00:03:35His opponent, wrestling out of San Diego, Delaware,
00:03:39weighing 229 pounds,
00:03:41he is the Ring of Honor World Champion,
00:03:47Mark Briscoe.
00:03:50And if there was ever time to draw the number of Mark Briscoe,
00:03:53tonight would be the night, Caprice.
00:03:55Mark, with a breakneck schedule,
00:03:58blood and guts followed in rapid succession.
00:04:0248 hours later, successful title defense
00:04:05against Roger Strong, one of the all-time Ring of Honor greats.
00:04:09You got to think the tread on the tires of Mark Briscoe
00:04:12are just a little bit worn down right now.
00:04:15Johnny TV with a sensational opportunity here tonight.
00:04:18That's what Johnny TV would hope,
00:04:20but I know the Briscoes, and fighting is what they love to do.
00:04:24And sometimes fighting keeps them warmed up,
00:04:26keeping them hot and geared,
00:04:27and that's why we got a Ring of Honor champion
00:04:29with the last name Briscoe.
00:04:31Referee Stephon Smith, our official here tonight
00:04:34for this great Ring of Honor World Championship bout.
00:04:39Of course, Mark Briscoe with the support of the conglomeration,
00:04:43running throughout both AEW and Ring of Honor,
00:04:45as the bell sounds, and we are off.
00:04:46This World Championship bout has started here
00:04:48in beautiful Esports Stadium here in Arlington.
00:04:51Look at Johnny TV clapping along.
00:04:53He's getting pumped up, too.
00:04:54You can't help but be pumped up
00:04:55if you saw the conglomeration with Mark Briscoe,
00:04:58but none of them are out here.
00:05:00The one person that is on the outside of the ring
00:05:02is Taya Valkyrie, and she has to open herself
00:05:04to be able to interfere at any time,
00:05:06so that's something definitely
00:05:07the champion has to watch out for.
00:05:09The path to the All-In Summer Series
00:05:11makes its final stop this Saturday
00:05:13in Arlington at Esports Stadium.
00:05:15Get your tickets now, AWTIX.com.
00:05:18One, two, three, four.
00:05:23You know, when you open your mouth,
00:05:25you show your teeth, that adds more pressure to the mouth.
00:05:28And not afraid to hold on to get to the five.
00:05:31Take it to the break there.
00:05:33Beautiful pass by Johnny TV, man.
00:05:35That step over to the legs, man.
00:05:36That's textbook work right there.
00:05:39So many styles that Johnny TV brings into wrestling.
00:05:41The capo roll style and jiu-jitsu,
00:05:44striking techniques that he has,
00:05:46and then the athletic ability
00:05:47that he fusions all into wrestling
00:05:49has made him have a tremendous career.
00:05:51One of the most sure-footed men we've ever seen here
00:05:53in ring of honor.
00:05:54That agility, that balance works so well.
00:05:56High-flying, technical, you name it, Caprice, and you did.
00:06:01Ooh, Mark Briscoe there.
00:06:03What I like about Mark Briscoe
00:06:05is Mark can literally do any type of wrestling.
00:06:07Mark can fly, he can bring it down,
00:06:09he can be elusive, and he can wrestle.
00:06:11And my God, he can fight.
00:06:13He's got that redneck kung fu.
00:06:15Get on display there.
00:06:17You called that right on the button, Rigobonny.
00:06:20That's the thing about Mark Briscoe,
00:06:22you may know his repertoire.
00:06:23Oh, tie of alchery.
00:06:25That's exactly what I alluded to.
00:06:26It only takes a second, yeah, to get that distraction.
00:06:30You may know Briscoe's repertoire,
00:06:32but it's hard to stop.
00:06:33But Valkyrie, that...
00:06:35Oh, come on.
00:06:36And you're right.
00:06:37I mean, Valkyrie got up there.
00:06:38She didn't touch Mark at all.
00:06:39It's just that moment of distraction,
00:06:41and that's all Johnny TV needs to be in control.
00:06:45And now Mark Briscoe.
00:06:48Trying to get that oxygen back.
00:06:50Oh, look at this.
00:06:51It exchanges here.
00:06:54Johnny TV getting the better of it.
00:06:55Nice snapmare takeover.
00:06:57Oh, and shot right to the back.
00:06:59That'll wake you up, man.
00:07:00Sends electricity down your spine through your legs.
00:07:05And now getting those pins and needles,
00:07:07knowing that that arm is defenseless
00:07:09after that kick to the spine.
00:07:11It's TV making the most of it here.
00:07:13What does he have in mind?
00:07:14Johnny TV kick to the chest.
00:07:16Brings the champion down to the floor.
00:07:19I think Johnny TV definitely has to stay in control
00:07:22of Briscoe if he got him on the outside of the ring.
00:07:24Oh, my God.
00:07:25That was right to the back of the head,
00:07:26like a back brain kick.
00:07:29And now Ike man.
00:07:31This is what it is, married couple,
00:07:34but when you're in a world championship bout,
00:07:36I disagree with that being the right time to do that.
00:07:39Yeah, kissing with your champ at your feet
00:07:41is a whole nother level, Ricker Bonney.
00:07:44Johnny TV still in control.
00:07:46Maybe it's psychological warfare.
00:07:48Briscoe's eyes were open to see that
00:07:50as the challenger getting the mental edge,
00:07:52perhaps, on Mark Briscoe here.
00:07:55This chin-lock, Mark, trying to fire back
00:07:57with this great crowd here in Arlington,
00:07:59the Esports Stadium.
00:08:02Get behind Mark, and that's all Mark needs, though,
00:08:05is to realize the people are behind him,
00:08:07showing up for so long.
00:08:09Ducks the clothesline.
00:08:10Mark Briscoe, backhand misses.
00:08:12Oh, my God.
00:08:13Wow.
00:08:14You're so smart.
00:08:15You're so smart.
00:08:16And, oh, shining wizard.
00:08:18You see that catch right in the chin of the champion.
00:08:21Two.
00:08:22Ooh.
00:08:23Thought it was a knockout blow,
00:08:24and even Mark feeling the reels of that right now,
00:08:26holding his head.
00:08:27Anytime that thing hits you in the chin,
00:08:29you feel it in your eyes.
00:08:30It's just an instant headache.
00:08:31Well, and you see the wounds,
00:08:33they may come into play.
00:08:35Yeah.
00:08:36We are some time removed from blood and guts
00:08:38from that bout with Roderick Strong
00:08:40at the performance honor.
00:08:42And you can see those wounds are still fresh on the head,
00:08:44Ricker Bonney.
00:08:45You're absolutely right.
00:08:46It's going to open up a lot easy this way.
00:08:49Oh, right there.
00:08:50Oh, God.
00:08:51Right in the face.
00:08:52Yeah, that's sure-footed right there, man.
00:08:54Someone that's sure-footed and fleet-footed,
00:08:57which means he has control of his feet,
00:08:59and he's very agile at the same time.
00:09:02And Taya just continues to talk, talk, talk,
00:09:05get inside the ear and brain of Mark Briscoe,
00:09:07the world champion.
00:09:08Two.
00:09:09Oh, my God.
00:09:10Superman punch.
00:09:11A Superman punch by itself can knock you out,
00:09:13but when Superman punches,
00:09:14we have nowhere to go trapped in the corner.
00:09:15He's even more deadly.
00:09:17That inertia.
00:09:18You're absolutely right.
00:09:19And that big right hand from Johnny TV.
00:09:21Now, second rope on the inside,
00:09:23the challenger with the champion in trouble.
00:09:25Shot to the abs.
00:09:27TV rolls back, rolls through.
00:09:29Briscoe!
00:09:30Got it.
00:09:31Drop kick out of the corner.
00:09:32Top rope landing in perfection.
00:09:34Might have been all the champion needed to get a breather
00:09:36and try to recover.
00:09:37You can see right now with him laying down,
00:09:39they still have some recovery he's trying to do, man,
00:09:42trying to get his wheels back together.
00:09:44And there's nothing that fires up Mark Briscoe
00:09:46than the love of the crowd
00:09:48who's fully behind the champion.
00:09:50Champion to his feet.
00:09:51Blocks the right with the thrust here.
00:09:53Again with another.
00:09:56And these overhand shots
00:09:58delivering on the skull of Johnny TV.
00:10:00Irish whip reversed by Johnny TV.
00:10:03Briscoe.
00:10:04Yes, sir.
00:10:06Briscoe hits so hard, man.
00:10:07It's called farmer strong.
00:10:09You have no idea how hard, how strong he is
00:10:11until he hits you.
00:10:14Goodness.
00:10:15Briscoe with a uranage.
00:10:22Using those hips to drive TV up and over.
00:10:25Smart game plan here, though, by TV.
00:10:28Yeah, but ain't that spicy?
00:10:29Like that spicy drop kick coming from the champion
00:10:32and now the champion is definitely in control with the body.
00:10:36And Mark Briscoe landing.
00:10:40What in the world?
00:10:41Wow.
00:10:42I can't fault him.
00:10:44Mark Briscoe loves to go for the...
00:10:47Yeah!
00:10:49He was looking for the blockbuster.
00:10:51That's the call, Stefan.
00:10:53And time.
00:10:54See you later.
00:10:57Stefan playing.
00:10:58Look at that.
00:10:59Giving it that race.
00:11:00Just in case you didn't know.
00:11:02No, no, no, no, no.
00:11:04Bye-bye.
00:11:05Mark Briscoe makes it a blockbuster night.
00:11:09Delivers on the outside.
00:11:11TV hooks the leg to...
00:11:15No.
00:11:16I think that was the only time in wrestling history
00:11:18Taya Valkyrie had distracted Johnny TV.
00:11:23Certainly backfired.
00:11:25Yeah!
00:11:26Calling for the Jade Jeweler.
00:11:28The move.
00:11:29He won the world championship with the super card.
00:11:31Looking to retain.
00:11:32TV, that's the clothesline.
00:11:35Springboard kick.
00:11:38Could be a disaster here for Mark Briscoe.
00:11:40Two.
00:11:41No.
00:11:42I tell you, Johnny TV is dangerous from any angle, man.
00:11:45He can kick the strikes and the way he moves.
00:11:49Neckbreaker.
00:11:50Beautiful.
00:11:51Patented.
00:11:52Johnny TV rolling neckbreaker.
00:11:54Putting him in place.
00:11:55Might have a ticket.
00:11:57On the...
00:11:59Right there, he took too long.
00:12:01Starship.
00:12:02Wait a second.
00:12:03He landed it.
00:12:04Oxygen through.
00:12:05New champion.
00:12:06New champion.
00:12:07Two.
00:12:08There's the cover.
00:12:09Whoa.
00:12:10There was nothing wrong with the cover.
00:12:11No.
00:12:12Especially after Johnny TV hit the move.
00:12:15Mark Briscoe's got everything inside of him.
00:12:17He hit it flush, Caprice.
00:12:19That was perfect execution.
00:12:20All of the air just right through the diaphragm of Mark Briscoe.
00:12:23What I like about Johnny TV, he didn't let it stop him.
00:12:26He's just ready to put on more damage as Johnny TV.
00:12:29But he realizes he's in the ring with a champion that's not going to quit.
00:12:33Separation created.
00:12:34Ducks the clothesline.
00:12:35Briscoe now.
00:12:36Oh!
00:12:37Double clothesline.
00:12:38What a championship match, Riccoboni.
00:12:41Incredible action here between Mark Briscoe and Johnny TV
00:12:45with the world title on the line, Caprice.
00:12:47Look at all the cuts you're seeing right there.
00:12:48Mark Briscoe's head.
00:12:50Just the war that he's been through in a short amount of time.
00:12:53But right there with his hands moving,
00:12:55you see nothing is stopping him from continuing on the fight
00:12:58because this is what he was born to do.
00:13:00Oh, look at this.
00:13:02Mark Briscoe, the energy.
00:13:04Yeah, baby!
00:13:06Johnny TV.
00:13:07Oh, that's straight right.
00:13:08The first to strike.
00:13:09Uh-oh.
00:13:11Wow.
00:13:12My goodness.
00:13:13Hard strikes from both people.
00:13:15Oh, both men delivering each with strong bases.
00:13:19Yeah, but staggering upon impact.
00:13:22Oh, the challenger now.
00:13:23Driving those forearms through.
00:13:25Every time the challenger hits the champion.
00:13:27Oh!
00:13:28The legs are spreading even more.
00:13:30Wow.
00:13:31Big forearm there.
00:13:32Mark Briscoe.
00:13:35Yeah!
00:13:36Oh!
00:13:37There you go.
00:13:38Caught on the re-send at 360 velocity.
00:13:40Right on the chin of the challenger.
00:13:42Going for that J-Jilla again.
00:13:43Oh!
00:13:44Oh, yeah, butterfly J!
00:13:46Triple R!
00:13:49Comes the leg to that chin.
00:13:52Reach for the sky, boy.
00:13:55The winner of this match and still
00:13:59world champion, Mark Briscoe!
00:14:05You gotta love Mark Briscoe.
00:14:09One-on-one.
00:14:10What a great effort from Johnny TV.
00:14:12Yeah.
00:14:13Even when Tyler was ejected, had a great game plan.
00:14:17Hit his best shot, but it speaks to the resolve of the world champion.
00:14:20It's a fight through, power through, hit the J-Jilla, pick up the win.
00:14:23You can't take away from Johnny TV.
00:14:25Great contender always.
00:14:26He definitely has a championship future, as always.
00:14:28But Mark Briscoe, I believe in that strike exchange,
00:14:31landed a perfect punch that knocked TV out.
00:14:34And then the catch.
00:14:36Oh!
00:14:37With the J-Jilla.
00:14:39Oh, that's what it's all about.
00:14:41Mark Briscoe, a man of the people.
00:14:45And the flag bearer, the standard here at ROH.
00:14:51Part of our DNA, history lineage.
00:14:54Yeah, this is Rigobono Rigoboni.
00:14:57Big win here tonight.
00:15:03Standing tall, the Sussex County Chicken, the world champion, Mark Briscoe.
00:15:11Well, last week we saw Robbie Eagles return to Rigobono,
00:15:15former IWGP junior heavyweight champion.
00:15:17A flurry of offense, maneuvers, 450, you name it.
00:15:22And there is that beautiful special.
00:15:24We're going to hear from Robbie now.
00:15:28I would say that was tough work out there.
00:15:31But Ring of Honor really didn't give me much competition.
00:15:35And this ain't the first time that I've been here.
00:15:37TMDK is here in Ring of Honor.
00:15:40Robbie Eagles is here in Ring of Honor.
00:15:43And I want harder matches.
00:15:45I want more meaningful matches.
00:15:48I've done it in Japan.
00:15:49I've done it all over Australia.
00:15:51But now I want ROH gold.
00:15:55And I think because I watched so much of it,
00:15:59I could be the champion of television.
00:16:02Atlantis Junior, you have what I want.
00:16:06I am challenging you for the ROH World TV title.
00:16:11Will you accept?
00:16:13Or will you let me prove that the mighty don't kneel?
00:16:22And tonight it's official.
00:16:23We can confirm the Ring of Honor World Television title is on the line.
00:16:27Atlantis Junior defends his title against Robbie Eagles.
00:16:35Wow, Robbie Eagles just a shot tonight in the World TV title.
00:16:38Do we have a new champion?
00:16:39This match is a one-all day, 20-minute time limit.
00:16:43Introducing first, let's get up Jackson Hennessey.
00:16:46Weighing 180 pounds, all heart, Blake Christian.
00:16:53Blake Christian returning to ROH after an excellent, excellent best of super juniors.
00:17:01Picked up some incredible wins.
00:17:05Represented Ring of Honor tremendously well.
00:17:09Five victories to say.
00:17:12And I'll tell you what, Blake Christian's such an asset to Ring of Honor.
00:17:14I'm glad he's back here in the House of Honor.
00:17:18But speaking of returns, this man, after seven years, is back in ROH.
00:17:32In the corner, rescuing the Washington, D.C.
00:17:35Weighing 171 pounds, Leo Brooks.
00:17:42Yes, sir.
00:17:44Leo Rush, back in ROH.
00:17:48Sensational showing and survival in the fitness and in the corner's honor.
00:17:53And we are so glad to have him back.
00:17:55I think there's some unfinished business for Leo Rush.
00:17:59Yeah, let's ROH.
00:18:00Absolutely, man.
00:18:01There's nobody in the world that moves like Leo Rush.
00:18:05Leo Rush is one that knows his body and owns every movement of it.
00:18:16It's going to be a great encounter here.
00:18:18Two men that are very fast, that are high flyers.
00:18:21Ooh, look at this.
00:18:22Going for the one, two.
00:18:24Whoa.
00:18:25Whoa, wow.
00:18:26My God, that would have been an upset.
00:18:29And not an upset because Christian won.
00:18:31It's just how fast it happened.
00:18:32I want to see some action here.
00:18:34Misdirection.
00:18:35What?
00:18:36Blake caught the misdirection of Leo.
00:18:38You never see that.
00:18:39Never seen it.
00:18:41This is going to be awesome.
00:18:42Oh, look at that now.
00:18:43Oh.
00:18:45Oh, look at Leo Rush.
00:18:46So quick stack.
00:18:47Two.
00:18:48Two count there.
00:18:49Back up to their feet.
00:18:50Blake Christian now kicking to the midsection.
00:18:52Caprice, I can't believe it.
00:18:53It's almost here.
00:18:54AEW All-In 2024 Wembley Stadium.
00:18:56Live Sunday, August 25th on pay-per-view.
00:18:58Tickets available now, but they're moving quick.
00:19:00Ticketmaster.co.uk slash AW Wembley 2024.
00:19:04Wow.
00:19:05On his feet.
00:19:06And the two-man exchange.
00:19:08Oh, my goodness.
00:19:09Christian out first.
00:19:10It's Leo Rush still falling to the outside.
00:19:12Yes, sir.
00:19:14And Leo Rush getting back in.
00:19:16Watch how fast he rushes out.
00:19:18Whoa.
00:19:20Creates space to close the gap.
00:19:23Maximum acceleration to the outside.
00:19:26And Christian has fallen on the outside at the hands and the speed,
00:19:31the power, the delivery of Leo Rush.
00:19:33And we're not even two minutes in this match.
00:19:35We've seen so much action.
00:19:37Leo Rush is back, but he's realized he's got some great competition
00:19:41on his hand with Blake Christian.
00:19:44And this crowd here bent over.
00:19:47Leo Rush.
00:19:48Oh, to the eyes.
00:19:49Blake Christian now.
00:19:51That sure foot of Blake Christian allows him to land on his feet,
00:19:54breaking the eyes.
00:19:57And charging in.
00:19:59It is Leo Rush.
00:20:01That's the thing about Blake Christian.
00:20:03Ever since he's been back, man, he's been something a little bit.
00:20:06Man, that kick went back two feet in the face of Leo Rush,
00:20:10and Blake Christian's getting ready to call it.
00:20:12I'll let you say this, Rick.
00:20:14Well, it's Olympic time.
00:20:16Well, it's Olympic time.
00:20:18Oh, it's downstairs.
00:20:20A bit of Leo's own medicine there.
00:20:22Good, and he's changing up.
00:20:24I thought he was going to go for that prosperity flop.
00:20:26Yeah, that's why I was going to let you say it.
00:20:28Yeah, named after the Olympian who invented the flip on the high bar.
00:20:32But instead, going downstairs, almost the exact move
00:20:37Leo Rush hit earlier in the match.
00:20:39Maybe Blake Christian taking some offense at someone like Leo Rush
00:20:41coming to ring Obama with all the height in his hand.
00:20:44I've been here all along.
00:20:46I've been in other countries, represented well.
00:20:48I'm coming back to ring Obama.
00:20:50And I'm going to make a name for myself.
00:20:52Sometimes you don't get the respect you deserve until you go outside.
00:20:55But Blake's going to take it.
00:20:57Oh, my God, these hammer locks bringing Leo Rush to the ring.
00:21:00Been working on that shoulder ever since the dive on the outside.
00:21:03Taking out the shoulder of Leo Rush.
00:21:05You take a lot of the balance away, Rick Abate.
00:21:07Certainly do, a lot of handsprings, a lot of quick movement,
00:21:10a lot of rapid positioning that requires the hands to mount himself.
00:21:14Yeah, the balance that Leo Rush has,
00:21:16he's ultimately in control of his own body.
00:21:18I've never seen anybody like this.
00:21:20It's hard to be in control of your body when one of the limbs is not cooperating.
00:21:25And it is Blake Christian with the advantage here.
00:21:28I love when people say, oh, man, these wrestlers here,
00:21:30they just do a bunch of moves.
00:21:31They don't work any body parts.
00:21:32Watch this match.
00:21:33You see two great high heels with a great game plan as well.
00:21:37Another hang low for Rush as you see him just –
00:21:39it's almost out of the socket the way he's just letting it droop.
00:21:43I mean, there's almost – oh, no.
00:21:45He's got nothing to add on.
00:21:46A little strength in there.
00:21:47And Blake Christian knew what he was setting up,
00:21:49watching what he's already invested.
00:21:51He rolled out of the way of Leo Rush.
00:21:53Nice foot.
00:21:54Short-footed in the face of Leo Rush.
00:21:57Connects all the way.
00:21:59And now it is Christian with the Irish whip.
00:22:01Rush able to baseball slide in the corner.
00:22:03Caught here.
00:22:04Blake Christian swinging a miss.
00:22:06Caught.
00:22:07And it is Christian.
00:22:08Oh, my goodness.
00:22:09Cover.
00:22:10Two.
00:22:11And what a slam that was.
00:22:13Yeah, inside spikes.
00:22:14Bomb buster.
00:22:15Wrist control grabbed on.
00:22:16Blake Christian putting in the work here.
00:22:19That's the thing about these two athletes too, Caprice.
00:22:21How can you prepare for either of them?
00:22:25If it wasn't dislocated before, it's definitely in trouble now.
00:22:30You see something new every match, and you're right though.
00:22:33It is.
00:22:34I don't think I've ever seen Blake Christian do that before.
00:22:36That left shoulder.
00:22:38Oh, no.
00:22:39He just yanked him up.
00:22:41It's what you're supposed to do.
00:22:43The thing about Blake Christian, man, when you're well-traveled,
00:22:45you pick up things.
00:22:46You learn things.
00:22:47You adapt to different ways.
00:22:49Ball is flying everywhere.
00:22:51Cover.
00:22:52Two.
00:22:53Oh, that was the rush hour.
00:22:54Yes, sir.
00:22:56And the rush hour.
00:22:58It was able to at the very least reset the match for Rush.
00:23:02Now, whether or not he can get back in this thing is a different story
00:23:07because that arm is hanging on by a thread.
00:23:10Well, that's the story right there.
00:23:11You tell it with Leo Rush, normally able to go to the next move
00:23:14and hit you from all angles.
00:23:16But Leo Rush right here is trying to recover.
00:23:20And it's Rush now getting back to Blake Christian.
00:23:23I don't disagree.
00:23:24You've got to stay on top of Christian.
00:23:27But it's Christian.
00:23:29Sinks the hips.
00:23:30Rush.
00:23:31Oh, look at that.
00:23:32Bounce back.
00:23:33Spin around.
00:23:34Rush fighting with one arm, though, still able to throw those spin wheel kicks
00:23:37and land it to perfection there.
00:23:39Able to get those legs and hips moving.
00:23:40That might be his best shot here to defeat Christian.
00:23:42I'll throw Christian back up.
00:23:44Bang.
00:23:45Super kick.
00:23:49And it is Christian who loves that outside in for 50.
00:23:53May see it here.
00:23:54Springboard.
00:23:55Oh, no.
00:23:57Rush out the way.
00:23:58Back in your face.
00:24:00Oh, my goodness.
00:24:03And it's Leo Rush now.
00:24:05Oh, look at this.
00:24:07Bounce and run up on Blake Christian.
00:24:11Right back, you see Leo Rush still holding that arm and cover.
00:24:14Two.
00:24:15Wow.
00:24:16I believe Blake Christian was able to kick out of that
00:24:18because Leo Rush was not able to hook the leg because of that arm.
00:24:21That saved Blake Christian in that one, Rick Abate.
00:24:24He had to roll over the chest.
00:24:26He couldn't grab onto anything.
00:24:29Absolutely right.
00:24:30Oh, but it might be time.
00:24:32It might be the final hour for Blake Christian here.
00:24:36That final hour has a short amount of time to do it, man.
00:24:38Blake Christian all heart means if he can move, he will move.
00:24:43Blake Christian is going to get up, man.
00:24:44He's too long.
00:24:45He's too long.
00:24:46Up to the top.
00:24:47Christian very smartly getting to the apron now.
00:24:51He has slowed down Leo Rush, and that says a lot.
00:24:54You have no heart?
00:24:55Yes, he does.
00:24:57Oh, back to his feet.
00:25:00On the hardest part of the ring, just a sheer drop on his shoulder, Rick Abate.
00:25:05And Brandon Martinez right there to ask Leo if he wants to continue.
00:25:10You never want to see it go to the referees,
00:25:12but he might need to make a decision soon.
00:25:14The damage piling up on that left shoulder.
00:25:16He's going to try a springboard 450.
00:25:18Springboard, no.
00:25:19And look at that handspring.
00:25:21Call.
00:25:22Leo Rush.
00:25:23Oh, and giving up the arm, that double wrist lock now from Blake Christian.
00:25:26It's something you can always go back to, Blake.
00:25:28Look at that.
00:25:29Oh, almost had the come up instead.
00:25:32It's Rush.
00:25:34Off the ropes.
00:25:35Handspring.
00:25:36Oh, twisting kick there.
00:25:39I'll tell you what, Rush tried to push Christian off with one arm.
00:25:42Christian took that momentum and came back with that kick.
00:25:45Rush is in a lot of trouble right now on the outside of the ring,
00:25:48and Blake Christian has plans, Rick Abate.
00:25:51Certainly does, and Rush is none the wiser.
00:25:54Off the ropes.
00:25:55And the Boss Berries.
00:25:57Oh.
00:25:59Tastes like Boss Berries.
00:26:01And they go very deep in the ring.
00:26:06Oh, my God.
00:26:07I'm seeing a different Blake Christian here.
00:26:09Normally that move takes a knock the person out.
00:26:12With the momentum, Blake holding on to it, turned into a pile driver.
00:26:16He will throw Leo Rush in the ring and might cover and get the victory.
00:26:20This is the best Blake Christian I've seen, Rick Abate.
00:26:24Certainly going to try that 450.
00:26:26If he hits it, this might be it.
00:26:28Springboard, 450.
00:26:30That's lights out.
00:26:31Come on, make the cover.
00:26:33Got it.
00:26:34Two.
00:26:35Wow.
00:26:36My goodness.
00:26:39I'll tell you what, Blake Christian taking it to the next level
00:26:42following his return from Best of Super Juniors.
00:26:45But Leo Rush trying a lot of hard right now.
00:26:47Yeah, Leo Rush is realizing he is definitely into the deep end of the pool.
00:26:53What a tremendous bout this has been.
00:26:56With two of the great high flyers,
00:26:58you've seen flashes of the amateur skills of Leo Rush.
00:27:02You've seen great technical work with the target on the shoulder from Blake Christian.
00:27:08Both of these athletes giving it all here tonight in this great showcase bout.
00:27:12And the winner is anybody watching at home and these people here in Arlington, Texas.
00:27:17The pie face creating some separation now.
00:27:20It is Leo Rush to one knee, but Christian bent on sending him back down.
00:27:28I really think that's how Christian feels, man.
00:27:31These athletes that come with big names.
00:27:34Christian's like, I've been here.
00:27:36When you left, I was here.
00:27:38Clothesline, put everything inside of that clothesline.
00:27:42If Christian was one of the first men to look Tony Khan in the eye and say,
00:27:46I want to be on ROH.
00:27:48I want to be a part of the continuation of the legacy.
00:27:51And it's Christian who carried that banner into Japan, represented ROH.
00:27:57And Christian, Rush up and over.
00:27:59Swing and a miss.
00:28:04And through.
00:28:05One, two, three.
00:28:09Now that's a comeback.
00:28:11The winner of this match, Leo Rush.
00:28:15Huge win for Leo Rush.
00:28:21And I'll tell you what, fighting with just one arm for the majority of the match,
00:28:26that shows you Leo Rush.
00:28:30If there's a will, there's a way, and he found it.
00:28:33I'll tell you what, man.
00:28:34What a show by Blake Christian.
00:28:36Great show by Leo Rush.
00:28:37If anything, you got to show respect, man.
00:28:39This is ring of honor right here.
00:28:41And this is what it's about.
00:28:42The best athletes in the world.
00:28:45For pride and honor.
00:28:48Leo Rush does what Tony Blake Christian did.
00:28:53So Rush, got to give it to him, man.
00:28:57Wow.
00:29:00Whoa, whoa, whoa.
00:29:03Blake, what are you doing?
00:29:08Before you left, it's not the same Blake Christian we saw a couple of years ago.
00:29:12This man has a mission.
00:29:13Absolutely gigantic win for Leo Rush here tonight, though.
00:29:17At the DMV and the great family behind me, it's feeling like home.
00:29:20For real, king of the throne.
00:29:22Everything that you own.
00:29:48This will be your final countdown.
00:29:51This is all in.
00:29:58Last week, our main event featured for the very best in the women's division,
00:30:03Athena, the most dominant women's champion of all time, showed her power.
00:30:06The world TV champ, Red Velvet, with some beautiful offense.
00:30:09Lexi Nair trying to intervene once again as she did a death before dishonor.
00:30:14Did not work with Athena, but it did with Billie Starks.
00:30:17Using the world title, knocking out Red Velvet.
00:30:20Athena, Billie Starks, Lexi Nair standing tall.
00:30:26Fans, we saw what happened last week, our main event.
00:30:29These two women emerging victorious.
00:30:33But to me, it wasn't the victory, Caprice.
00:30:36That shocked me.
00:30:38It was how the world champion, the most dominant world champion
00:30:42the women's division has ever seen,
00:30:44treated the youngest women's champion,
00:30:48the former world television champion, Billie Starks.
00:30:51There seems to be a little dissension there,
00:30:53but Billie Starks continues to stand and take it.
00:30:56The minion overlord continues to deliver.
00:31:00Demoting Billie Starks back to a minion in training.
00:31:07Saying Lexi Nair remains the valedictorian.
00:31:10Lexi, of course, a death before dishonor.
00:31:12Using the microphone to help Athena retain.
00:31:15And I'm going to say Queen Amanata would have won that match for sure.
00:31:18We don't know, but that's the sickening part of the maddening part,
00:31:21was we were denied a fair contest by those actions.
00:31:26At over 600 days, the women's world champion, Athena, has the microphone.
00:31:31Ladies and gentlemen, let me introduce to you, me!
00:31:45That's what I think.
00:31:48This is the first ever live minion training session brought to you by MIT.
00:31:58Oh, come on.
00:32:00Is that?
00:32:02What is she making her do?
00:32:04So let me tell you how we got here.
00:32:07Those are sit-ups, Riccoboni.
00:32:09Oh, I know.
00:32:12She's going to keep going forever.
00:32:15Just because I don't do many doesn't mean I don't know what they are.
00:32:18We got here for a very particular reason.
00:32:25For a very particular reason.
00:32:27Me, as a minion overlord, my generosity spreads to all the minions.
00:32:33But I took two minions under my wing.
00:32:38Minion 400,237 and three-quarters.
00:32:46Double time, minion, let's go.
00:32:51And my minion bestie, Lexi Nair.
00:33:00Hey, where's Lexi at?
00:33:03Why is Lexi not training?
00:33:07That's a fair question.
00:33:10Lexi is not training because Lexi did not lose the, sorry,
00:33:19my ROH World Television Championship.
00:33:25Wait, Athena's?
00:33:28Sit-ups, minion, let's go.
00:33:31Wait, if Billy starts...
00:33:33I mean, Lexi is just so superb.
00:33:36She is the ideal minion.
00:33:39I mean, let's face it.
00:33:42Lexi is the only reason why I retain my championship at Death Before Dishonor.
00:33:51No, wow.
00:33:53Forever, forever, forever.
00:33:57Now, Billy ran down and Lexi was only able to use the microphone
00:34:00because Billy ran down.
00:34:01What is she talking about?
00:34:04Feel the power, minion.
00:34:06Sit-ups, let's go.
00:34:08And being her hometown, they're just listening to her.
00:34:11Lexi's also the reason why I don't have to deal with that porcelain,
00:34:16tyrant, queen, hussy, Amanada.
00:34:21And I can move on to bigger and better things,
00:34:26like becoming the longest reigning man or woman
00:34:33world champion in Ring of Honor history.
00:34:38Closing in on that record.
00:34:41Thank you.
00:34:42Thank you so much.
00:34:43Thank you.
00:34:46And let's face it, every porcelain hussy in the back
00:34:50is afraid of the most dominant champion in all of wrestling,
00:34:56the Fallen Goddess, the minion.
00:34:59Wait, what?
00:35:01It can't be.
00:35:05Oh, Caprice.
00:35:06Yeah.
00:35:07They're here.
00:35:09Yeah, all the women are scared, but they aren't.
00:35:14That music can only mean one thing, one person.
00:35:18The living dead girl has arrived.
00:35:22Athena has no clue.
00:35:27Look at this.
00:35:29The calm, collected.
00:35:32Be careful what you ask for.
00:35:35Twisted demeanor.
00:35:37Amidon has arrived.
00:35:39See, I told you all, everyone is afraid.
00:35:43Oh.
00:35:44Oh.
00:35:50Oh.
00:35:51God almighty.
00:35:57Oh, look at Athena trying to play things off.
00:35:59No physical contact.
00:36:01Trying to get that belt.
00:36:05Oh.
00:36:08Do you hear Amidon?
00:36:09Get it.
00:36:10Get it.
00:36:12And try it.
00:36:13And you know deep down inside, the Women's World Champion
00:36:16believes she has made and met her match.
00:36:20I've never seen that look in the eyes of Athena before, Caprice.
00:36:23Yeah.
00:36:24That's definitely fear now.
00:36:25Eyes.
00:36:29Oh.
00:36:35Amidon.
00:36:36Look at that shirt.
00:36:37They ain't hugging nobody.
00:36:38Oh.
00:36:40As Athena sits just under 30 days away from breaking the record,
00:36:44Amidon has entered the picture.
00:36:45Fans, we go to the World Champion Mark Briscoe and Tomohiro Ishii
00:36:48in the conglomeration.
00:36:51Big time.
00:36:52And Mark Briscoe here conglomerating hard as usual.
00:36:56Tonight, let me talk to you about what I got to do earlier on this evening.
00:37:01I got to share the ring with one of the most innovative men of the millennium,
00:37:05the man that can walk on his hands and spin on his pants, Johnny TV himself.
00:37:10Johnny, hey, it was an honor, my man.
00:37:14It was an honor.
00:37:15But the champion is still the champion.
00:37:17I picked up the victory.
00:37:19But I'm not here to talk about any victories that I've won.
00:37:23I'm here to talk about a loss that I suffered just a few weeks ago
00:37:28in front of hundreds of thousands of people on live TV
00:37:31on AEW Dynamite Wednesday night.
00:37:34The Beast Mortos pinned me one, two, three in the middle of the ring.
00:37:39I'm not a man to sit here and make excuses.
00:37:43So, Mortos, truth be told, you have earned a shot at this title.
00:37:48But hell with that.
00:37:49I'm insisting on getting your ass in the ring.
00:37:53I want the shot at The Beast because I need my comeuppance, baby.
00:37:58The word of the day, believe it or not, is recapitulation.
00:38:02So let me – I need to talk to the ring of honor officials.
00:38:06I need to talk to Paul White.
00:38:07Let me recapitulate.
00:38:09I need The Beast Mortos one-on-one.
00:38:11I put the title on the line.
00:38:13I want your ass, Beast.
00:38:14I'm coming for you, Beast.
00:38:16Huh?
00:38:17Are you ready?
00:38:18Are you ready?
00:38:20I am so putting that word in my promo.
00:38:27Wow, fresh off a win against Johnny TV,
00:38:29the world champ Mark Briscoe challenging The Beast Mortos.
00:38:31Could we see that in the near future?
00:38:36All right, hold on, Bobby.
00:38:37You don't have to do anything tonight.
00:38:39Hit the bricks.
00:38:40Oh, come on.
00:38:41I'll take it from here.
00:38:42Everybody knows we are the premier athletes.
00:38:46And this is Aria Daivari.
00:38:52Folks, being as I am a lawyer,
00:38:54I signed a very important match tonight against a wrestler.
00:39:00And that being said, my client has something very important to say.
00:39:09My opponent calls himself a wrestler
00:39:12because that's the only thing he's good at.
00:39:16Well, not only am I a great wrestler,
00:39:18I'm also great at baseball, basketball, football,
00:39:23hockey, tennis, dressage, fencing, track and field.
00:39:28The list goes on and on.
00:39:33But here's something that all you stupid Texas hillbillies can understand.
00:39:42After I beat my opponent tonight,
00:39:45you guys are all going to understand the difference
00:39:48between a premier athlete and a wrestler.
00:39:54That's not a wrestler.
00:39:56That's The Wrestler, Rico Bonnie.
00:39:58He certainly has the definitive article.
00:40:01The Wrestler.
00:40:04This match is set for one fall away, 20-minute time limit.
00:40:07Introducing the opponent,
00:40:09wrestling out of Tokyo, Japan,
00:40:11weighing 209 pounds,
00:40:13The Wrestler,
00:40:15Katsuyori Shibata.
00:40:21Thorpe and Rick Hunter, pure champions now.
00:40:24Come on.
00:40:25Come on, Eric family.
00:40:27Katsuyori Shibata,
00:40:29here tonight in Arlington,
00:40:32a sports stadium.
00:40:36This should be a great bout.
00:40:38We have our briefs of grievances with
00:40:41Daivari, with Nese, with Woods,
00:40:44with Mark Sterling.
00:40:46But that doesn't take away the fact that
00:40:48Daivari is a tremendous athlete.
00:40:50And he will tell you who he just did.
00:40:52Who he just did.
00:40:53But it doesn't matter if he's playing football,
00:40:55baseball, basketball,
00:40:57hockey, fencing, whatever.
00:40:58This is a wrestling match.
00:41:00Unless the confusion goes into the sport,
00:41:02he's going to take a loss to The Wrestler.
00:41:07A code of honor not adhered to.
00:41:09Shibata Smith calls for the bell, and we are off.
00:41:12Look at that, man.
00:41:13Just the little things Shibata does
00:41:15just to readjust, changing angles,
00:41:17coming in at different angles, yeah.
00:41:18Oh, looking for that Cabrera right away,
00:41:20trying to get it behind the back of Daivari.
00:41:22Nazarian Daivari gets to the ropes.
00:41:25And we are headed back to Queens
00:41:27with AEW Grand Slam at Arthur Ashe Stadium,
00:41:29New York City, live Wednesday, September 25th.
00:41:32Tickets on sale now.
00:41:34I tell you, Shibata's the type of athlete that
00:41:35when he's wrestling, there's so many people
00:41:37that the moms will be in the back just taking notes.
00:41:40And you heard the anticipation
00:41:42buzz and build as this man...
00:41:47Oh, wait a minute.
00:41:48As Nese was on the apron.
00:41:49Oh!
00:41:51Daivari trying to get a cheap shot in there,
00:41:53and it is.
00:41:54Jumping for the figure four.
00:41:55There you go.
00:41:57Figure four locked in.
00:41:58Daivari in trouble now.
00:42:00In time.
00:42:01Shibata might have to give a course
00:42:03of game plan for later on
00:42:05if he doesn't submit.
00:42:06Oh!
00:42:08And Daivari in trouble there.
00:42:09You can tell by how quickly
00:42:11and with what urgency
00:42:12he made it to the ropes.
00:42:14That went right to the work
00:42:15that he just put that investment in.
00:42:19He'll always be able to go back to it as well.
00:42:21Hammer's whip is Daivari
00:42:23into the ropes, dropping out.
00:42:24Yeah, Daivari just trying to break the momentum.
00:42:27Not a bad game plan.
00:42:28Mm-hmm.
00:42:30Take your time.
00:42:31You have ten seconds to stay out here.
00:42:33You have ten seconds.
00:42:34He's at two.
00:42:35He's at two.
00:42:37You stay in there.
00:42:38Well, Sterling...
00:42:39Sterling seems to have ten seconds
00:42:41to wait on urgency.
00:42:42Let me count this.
00:42:43Shibata.
00:42:45That's the kind of lawyer
00:42:46who would deal with that.
00:42:47Oh!
00:42:49Oh, my goodness.
00:42:51Wow!
00:42:52Game plan's charged
00:42:53when you're hitting me still
00:42:54with a bat.
00:42:55And...
00:42:57right between the eyes
00:42:58and the nose.
00:42:59Yeah.
00:43:01You know what the sign said?
00:43:02It said,
00:43:03it said,
00:43:04it's the worst one through in the world
00:43:05in Daivari's picture.
00:43:08And Daivari...
00:43:10smashing
00:43:12that right knee of Shibata
00:43:13into the barricade.
00:43:14A lot of concern set in now.
00:43:16Shibata hitting that steel
00:43:18on the post and
00:43:19on the leg.
00:43:20Two.
00:43:22And the rail's there.
00:43:23You suck!
00:43:25You suck!
00:43:26You suck!
00:43:27And it is now, Daivari.
00:43:28Yeah.
00:43:29The crowd letting Sterling have it here.
00:43:31You suck!
00:43:32You suck!
00:43:33You suck!
00:43:34You suck!
00:43:35You suck!
00:43:36You suck!
00:43:37You suck!
00:43:38You suck!
00:43:39You suck!
00:43:40You suck!
00:43:41You suck!
00:43:42You suck!
00:43:43You suck!
00:43:44You suck!
00:43:45You suck!
00:43:46You suck!
00:43:47You suck!
00:43:48You suck!
00:43:49You suck!
00:43:50You suck!
00:43:51You suck!
00:43:52You suck!
00:43:53You suck!
00:43:54You suck!
00:43:55You suck!
00:43:56You suck!
00:43:57You suck!
00:43:58You suck!
00:43:59You suck!
00:44:00You suck!
00:44:01Oh, stole it right here.
00:44:02Smart game plan, man.
00:44:03That's the thing sometimes you might not like, but
00:44:06this guy has a great game plan when he comes in the ring,
00:44:09and somebody like Mark Sterling
00:44:11is just the one to keep you up
00:44:13keep your mind off him so he can lock it into it.
00:44:16And now trying to fire back, getting that breath going.
00:44:19Shibata.
00:44:21He's wrenching it in, Caprice.
00:44:24Changing those grips.
00:44:25Changing the angles.
00:44:29He's grinding away.
00:44:30While Shibata's down there, Shibata's trying to think,
00:44:32controlling himself, controlling his breathing,
00:44:34but also trying to figure a way out.
00:44:36And we're already changing the grips and changing the locks.
00:44:39You have to keep resetting that.
00:44:40It gives you more time in that hole.
00:44:43Already sinking that elbow into the back,
00:44:45lower area of Shibata.
00:44:47Shibata now shots the fifth section.
00:44:48Daivari, hammering home, sending Shibata to the outside.
00:44:53Oh, come on!
00:44:54Now then listen, distraction is one thing.
00:44:58He's invariably assaulting someone else
00:45:00with something different.
00:45:01Earlier I said that Ari would take it at a loss,
00:45:04but when you've got three against one, man,
00:45:05it's anybody's game.
00:45:07Ooh.
00:45:08And now look at this.
00:45:09Daivari just driving the boot under the jaw.
00:45:17They can't stand him here in Arlington.
00:45:19They want to see some good wrestling,
00:45:20especially someone that is going to hand it down to-
00:45:22Oh!
00:45:24Personally bestowed the claw by Kevin Montero
00:45:27as a thank you for the work he put in with Ross and Marshall,
00:45:31two-thirds of the six-man champs.
00:45:32Thank you for coming, Ari.
00:45:35Yeah, with a look in the eye of the wrestler,
00:45:38takes home in that tractor beat Caprice.
00:45:40Yes, tractor being handed straight to you.
00:45:43Oh!
00:45:44Ooh!
00:45:45Focused as does Shibata.
00:45:47And even more focused blows.
00:45:50Precision tuned at best.
00:45:52Less than height on this dropkick, Rick and Bonnie.
00:45:55Oh!
00:45:56Just floating through the air and crashing down.
00:46:00Half of the suplex.
00:46:02Floats over the cover to-
00:46:05Two count over.
00:46:06Beautiful float over, man.
00:46:09Yeah.
00:46:13You can feel it when people like Shibata in the ring,
00:46:15Rick and Bonnie, can feel the energy collapsing.
00:46:19Yeah, just in case it was kind of playing possum,
00:46:22Shibata put that step on the back of Ari's neck.
00:46:25Ooh!
00:46:27Waist lock here.
00:46:29Into the hammer lock.
00:46:30Whoa!
00:46:31Hammer lock clothesline.
00:46:33Shibata down.
00:46:34Daivari looking to go up top.
00:46:36And that carpet rise coming up.
00:46:38Yeah, loves that from the top.
00:46:40And got it!
00:46:42That might be enough, Rick and Bonnie.
00:46:44Yes!
00:46:45Oh!
00:46:47That carpet rise put a lot of people away.
00:46:49And Ari got up there fast and delivered it fast,
00:46:52and you can see the look on Mark Sterling's surprise.
00:46:54He was literally turning around to get into the ring
00:46:58to celebrate, and now it is Shibata.
00:47:01I've been waiting for this all time!
00:47:04Oh!
00:47:07Wow!
00:47:09Did you see?
00:47:10Oh, the peak hand.
00:47:11Wow!
00:47:11He was looking for the peak hand.
00:47:13Wow!
00:47:14And Tony Nese!
00:47:17Get him!
00:47:18Get him!
00:47:19Get him!
00:47:20Get him!
00:47:21And Paul White with the initiative!
00:47:23They'll clean up all the way.
00:47:25Get him!
00:47:26Get him!
00:47:27You have your honeycomb towel in here.
00:47:29Oh, wait a minute, no!
00:47:30It's Daivari!
00:47:31They're all up, too!
00:47:32Whoa!
00:47:33Open out.
00:47:34Shibata!
00:47:35European uppercut.
00:47:37Oh!
00:47:39He is locked in!
00:47:41Oh!
00:47:42Wait a minute!
00:47:43Come on!
00:47:44Get him!
00:47:45Get him!
00:47:46Get him!
00:47:47Wow!
00:47:48And how much more dangerous does that claw make Shibata?
00:47:49And another weapon to the arsenal of the wrestler.
00:47:50My goodness.
00:47:51And showing love to this Arlington crowd.
00:47:52Oh, and showing so much love to the Monterey family.
00:47:53It doesn't work for the six-man champs.
00:47:54But a man that helped nurture Shibata.
00:47:55Oh!
00:47:56Oh!
00:47:57Oh!
00:47:58Oh!
00:47:59Oh!

00:53:33Oh!
00:53:34Oh!
00:53:35Oh!
00:53:36Maybe the breakout wrestler of 2024 in the women's division, look at this, at least in
00:53:43the AEW side, a ring of honor, it's such a privilege to see her when she wrestles in
00:53:49a clean manner, when she's not breaking the rules as she's doing now.
00:53:52She's sucking her thumb, that's nasty, all the stuff she doesn't touch, especially with
00:53:56COVID-19.
00:53:57Oh, jeez.
00:53:58And a shot to the midsection here, off the ropes, oh my goodness, back elbow, lateral
00:54:08press, leg hook, two.
00:54:12I like the movement of Harley's dictating the pace of this match, not rushing into anything,
00:54:18moving suddenly, and it's Viva Van trying to fight back, trying to power up, but Viva's
00:54:25not all the way to her feet, though, ooh, those feet aren't coming from a strong base
00:54:29yet, but Viva's waking up here, now they're coming, ooh, separation created, clothesline
00:54:38misses, ooh, swing and a miss on the back fist, and Cameron, though, able to get the
00:54:43midsection.
00:54:44Ivor's flipping to the corner, Viva Van in a bad way, Harley Cameron, oh, stops herself,
00:54:50nice up kick by the hell pit vixen, Viva Van is back in this Riccoboni.
00:54:57And grabbing a hold of the wrist, ooh, back fist, back fist by Viva Van, butterfly in
00:55:06the arms, it's dead, Harley Cameron out, grabs a hold of the wrist, oh, goodness, soul food
00:55:12there.
00:55:13Viva Van going for that back stabber, yeah, that might be enough, her finishing move,
00:55:18whoa, wow, and she has put opponents away, yeah, with that back stabber, you can see
00:55:26her face, she was not ready for that one, but you can also see she's ready to dish out
00:55:30more punishment, and the Irish whip, reverse, into the corner, a bit over, oh, long legs
00:55:38that reach advantage, whoa, say what you want, Harley Cameron is a great athlete, you might
00:55:46not agree with the way she does things, but I tell you what, she's playing a great game
00:55:49plan here, and it's working to perfection against Viva Van, certainly is, shoulder to
00:55:54the midsection, Van trying to fight back, trying to get back in the ring with a sunset,
00:55:58oh, bit over, oh, cartwheel kick, yeah, spin wheel, might have knocked Carly out, and looking
00:56:06for the pin too, just a two count there from Viva Van, Harley Quinn, what a great showcase
00:56:14this has been, her two rising stars, among AEW and Ring of Honor's women's division,
00:56:20Viva Van has been impressive as of late in New Japan, finds herself in the driver's seat
00:56:27in the electric chair position that she had, Harley, oh, nice, two, whoa, just a two count,
00:56:36man, Harley's doing so many things right, rides through, wants to put his knee, that's
00:56:41a knockout blow, Rikabani, two, got it, the winner of this match, Harley Cameron, Van
00:56:51was out on contact on that one, that shining wizard, just driving through the jaw, the
00:57:02skull of Viva Van, it is Harley Cameron, great win, but I hope she don't have both of them
00:57:10in the morning, yeah, that's why I'm here,
00:57:20Cameron, your winner here tonight,
00:57:28four of us will show the world, there are only three letters that matter,
00:57:34the BCC, for the first time ever, Jazz Wars brings all four members of the Blackpool Combat Club
00:57:42to one amazing collection, Jon Moxley, Wheeler Yuta, Brian Danielson, Claudio Castagnoli,
00:57:50don't mess with the Blackpool Combat Club, AEW Unmatched 9, the BCC,
00:58:04Grudge match coming your way here on ROH, we take it to the voice of the ring of honor, Bobby
00:58:09Cruz, this match is set for one fall with a 20 minute time limit, introducing first,
00:58:15from San Juan, Puerto Rico, weighing 175 pounds, he is representing Spanish, our announced project,
00:58:24Serpentico, the black mask tonight, worn by Troyce Caprice, Serpentico, who had the mask
00:58:33stolen after wars with Griff Garrison and Cole Carter, replaced it with that mask to show his
00:58:40disappointment, to show the dark place that he was taken to, here tonight, looking for revenge,
00:58:48looking to close a chapter in his career, against one of the men that helped orchestrate
00:58:54that humiliation, and if I was a betting man, I would suggest he would not be coming here alone
00:59:04here tonight, well put together, Griff Garrison, here tonight, he and Serpentico, looking to lock
00:59:27horns, and hasn't Maria done enough, to say to add fuel to the fire, to bring a trophy out,
00:59:37which is after you've stolen, it's gotten the snake man mad, wow, driving Garrison into the
00:59:42barricade there, and Garrison's a big young man, standing 6'3", oh goodness, you see Garrison man,
00:59:49has money written all over him, wrestling since he was 14 years old, I knew this kid before he
00:59:53reached puberty, and he's grown into like a Greek god, and with the right tools that he has now,
00:59:58with Maria and other people, you know you have a star, but right now, you have a serpent in your
01:00:04face, and you've made a man, and you know you're gonna get bit, Garrison nursing that shoulder and
01:00:11the energy, and this is where we've seen Serpentico lose his focus before, Caprice, you think back to
01:00:16the tag matches, that's what I mean, Maria knows how to get in the head of Serpentico, he's had
01:00:21that mask for so long, and so many times Serpentico has tried to get it back, and has got it taken
01:00:25right back away, it's almost like Lucy in the football of Charlie Brown, oh goodness, goodness,
01:00:32nice shot here by Serpentico, except seated with more disdain, seated with more deception,
01:00:41and Serpentico now opens up the chest, delivers again across Griff Garrison, I like a focus
01:00:48Serpentico man, he's not just throwing, throwing him at the wall, he's focusing him in, taking Griff
01:00:54where he wants to take him at, he's gonna have to come in on pretty soon though, yeah, gotta get the
01:01:03match started, I don't think the match started, I don't believe Brett Martinez has officially
01:01:06rung the bell, and it, you know what, neither man has been inside the ring at this point, that's a
01:01:10great call, wait a second, oh, oh Maria, and she's saving her, saving her investment right there,
01:01:18she's got a bright future ahead of her, and Serpentico, oh goodness,
01:01:27driven into the steel, Griff Garrison now taking a, almost a victory, quite literal victory lap,
01:01:34yeah, as Maria in the head once more of Serpentico,
01:01:46a reminder of the disappointments, the reminder of the humiliation as Garrison
01:01:54drives Serpentico once more, so used to seeing Griff Garrison follow the rules, but in the last
01:01:59year or so, since being associated with Maria, it's a totally different athlete, he's vicious and
01:02:05doesn't care as much to break the rules, him and Cole Carter, and it's made them more vicious,
01:02:10because they're unpredictable now, now the match has started, the bell has officially rung,
01:02:16and that's a fair call by Brandon Martinez, a short match here,
01:02:20if Garrison puts Serpentico away with these, laying his forearms in, mounted forearms,
01:02:24Serpentico trying to fight back, finding Garrison here, the midsection, but it's a kick to the skull,
01:02:42Garrison chooses his punches, wow, there's a lot of good things this young man does at a young age,
01:02:48wow, watching his, watching his strikes, watching his movements, now bantering to the crowd, you got
01:02:54Serpentico in there, you're not going to be able to banter as much as he thinks he can,
01:02:59oh, right to the eyes, snake eyes,
01:03:04and Garrison just in control right now, that's what this is all about, the armership into the corner,
01:03:10god, man, all the body weight behind on that throw that Garrison threw Serpentico in,
01:03:15I tell you what, like him or not, hooks the leg, two, Serpentico knew where he was,
01:03:20it's that veteran instinct right there, but Garrison's playing a good game, whether you
01:03:24like it or not, man, he's playing his game right, he's playing it smart, he's not rushing in,
01:03:27he's taking his time, absolutely, Griff Garrison standing tall over Serpentico right now,
01:03:35and Serpentico forearm connects, knife edge chop there, oh, but back down, he can barely hold his
01:03:42balance, the damage is done, but Serpentico's not going to stop fighting because of that,
01:03:45Serpentico's been in this situation before, but that's what makes him a great athlete,
01:03:50he never says die, big back elbow on that Serpentico, swing and a miss, Griff Garrison,
01:03:55oh, goodness, that might be enough to put him away, cover, two, face buster, gets two and a half,
01:04:02three, two count only, how about this one, and you hear Maria on the outside,
01:04:13both encouraging Griff Garrison, but also barking orders at Brandon Martinez, yeah,
01:04:20and look, yeah, acting like she's done nothing, nothing more from Maria, that's what she does in
01:04:25trying to distract people, big boot, side of the head, side of the skull there, it is Garrison,
01:04:32he's going for that torture rack bomb, if he hits this, got him, that's enough right there,
01:04:37he stacks him up, two, yeah, no, and just stunned, as that move has been so successful, yeah, for
01:04:47Griff Garrison, that torture rack bomb, man, is breaking your back while he has you up,
01:04:51and drops you down on your back, so perfectly put together move, normally finishes off the
01:04:56opponent, but Serpentico is mad, but look at the eyes of Garrison, waiting on the serpent to rise
01:05:02to his feet, the target locked in, oh, and Serpentico says, bring it on, at four, might
01:05:12have knocked Serpentico out cold, cover, two, no, I'm blaming that on the cover, I'm blaming that on
01:05:19the cover, Garrison thought Serpentico was knocked out, gave a lackadaisical cover, and Serpentico
01:05:24is still in this match, don't be surprised, keep fighting, Garrison, and Maria, Maria, I think,
01:05:36feels it too, saying, one more time, one more, that forearm through the skull, there's some
01:05:43things you can't do with a better, and that's, they'll try to say anything twice,
01:05:49I'm saying, I'm saying, ring the bell, Serpentico, though, he's, he's, yeah, as long as Serpentico's
01:05:54moving, man, he's in his fight, he could be playing possum, gaining his strength back,
01:05:59and using Brandon Martinez to try and get back in, oh, no, wow, snuck down Martinez,
01:06:08and, and, and Maria, just, enjoying the chaos here of all of this, oh, come on,
01:06:21the chair is in, well, that's one thing that you don't see often at all,
01:06:26in Ring of Honor, and that's a knocked out referee,
01:06:32Garrison,
01:06:33and bridging the chair, in the corner,
01:06:41and wait a minute, on helico, ready to fight fire with fire here,
01:06:54Maria, you're not supposed to be doing that either,
01:06:57and a counter, oh, Garrison,
01:07:03Serpentico,
01:07:26oh, my goodness, look, Marcus Simeon driving it, the ball, deep,
01:07:36two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, Serpentico might have ended the legacy of Garrison,
01:07:45look at this, one, two,
01:07:47two, whoa, that took a lot of testicular fortitude to kick out of that one, with the body,
01:07:59and I've heard the phrase, iron stallion, we may need to add,
01:08:03and what, and that's a grip, Garrison's Wikipedia,
01:08:07look at that, wow, both men, oh, my goodness, suffering below the belt at this point,
01:08:16as Garrison, Serpentico, that's a lot of hatred, taking this to another level,
01:08:28grabbing the mane of Garrison, the mask of Serpentico, stabilizing each man here,
01:08:34ooh, those goatee locks, delivering the shot on Serpentico, four connects, off the ropes, Garrison,
01:08:47Serpentico, rallying, volleying here, this, oh, blocked, that boot comes out of anywhere,
01:08:56any direction, Garrison gonna need to make a cover, oh, wait a minute, oh, wow, he tore off
01:09:02the mask, could have had another one under it, though, he's got that black mask of Serpentico,
01:09:12holding it high, wait a minute, Serpentico, you're absolutely right, and look at that mask,
01:09:17that mask is locked in, oh, goodness, look at the eyes of Serpentico, Garrison has no idea,
01:09:23look at the mask, oh, goodness, jumping flatliner, Serpentico, climbing second rope all the way up top,
01:09:33oh, blade delivers, hooks the leg, one, two,
01:09:49Maria in disbelief, has every effort to humiliate, emasculate,
01:09:57cutting the head off the snake, that is Serpentico,
01:10:02did not deliver here tonight, out on Helico, has retrieved the mask,
01:10:09and what a great moment for the SAP here tonight, victory is sweet, what a great night
01:10:17for Serpentico, how long they've been trying to get the mask back and has them,

01:13:59but now Dante is on retreat, about to tag in the veteran, yeah, Benny Massaro, two-decade veteran,
01:14:12and look at that, side headlock, and then we heard beef, he's doing good,
01:14:16did you hear that, I love his enthusiasm,
01:14:20oh,
01:14:42that's what you call people like that, swing and a miss,
01:14:45going on home there, that's that big country strong,
01:14:53able to stop people, beef though, on a roll,
01:14:57you know, JD Drake would like this man, JD Drake would love this man,
01:15:02no, he would welcome him right on, probably go out and eat with him,
01:15:06buy him some steaks, try to see who can eat the most, drink the most as well, go bowling with him,
01:15:14I'm telling you, man, this could be a great six-man team,
01:15:17oh,
01:15:32two, three, got him,
01:15:35the winners of this match, Anthony Henry and Ben Beach,
01:15:43making up a win here, with his second cousin by marriage,
01:15:49they couldn't cook, oh, look at the reluctance, well, look at that, a win,
01:16:00I'd be excited too, they just want to match the Ring of Honor together, the very first time,
01:16:07with chemistry inside of it, I love you, huge winner,
01:16:27the moment you've been waiting for has finally arrived, the Swiss blade himself,
01:16:32unified, trios, world champion, Jay White is now available to fight forever,
01:16:38when you step into the ring as switchblade Jay White, you're unleashing a global force
01:16:43that delivers precision, power and pure dominance, all rolled into one, everything that makes me
01:16:51the most dangerous man in the ring is now in your hands, fight forever, you will breathe with the
01:16:57switchblade, the catalyst of professional wrestling and become a part of the bang,
01:17:02bang, gang, experience for yourself, where this is my era, download the switchblade
01:17:09tournament pack today and show the world why the switchblade is a cut above the rest,
01:17:44getting a great opportunity to spread his wings here tonight,
01:17:53who is maybe not as familiar with the rules as the champion, I think this match benefits
01:17:57him Caprice, he only has to last the 10 minutes to earn himself a future title shot,
01:18:01yeah, we've seen the condition of Ashton Andrede, very impressive,
01:18:06like Chris Jericho, but this champion here, my god, is impressive,
01:18:11his opponent is from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania,
01:18:14weighing 191 pounds, he is representing Shane Taylor Promotions and he is the ring of honor,
01:18:22pure wrestling champion, Tiger Style, Lee Moriarty, historic victory for Tiger Style,
01:18:31Lee Moriarty, a death before his honor, member of STP, and what a win it was,
01:18:40as you think back, the amazing wherewithal with both competitors,
01:18:45champion, whether you to challenge your Tiger Style, having exhausted their rope breaks,
01:18:52for Lee Moriarty to use the ropes to his advantage, to get the three, it's going to
01:18:57be a little bit of a different situation here tonight, we have our judges, Jerry Lynn,
01:19:03former world champion, Christopher Danes, former world champion, Paul White,
01:19:07member of the board of directors in the house,
01:19:12tough light in STP, man, there's some titles that people are made for,
01:19:16and I believe Lee Moriarty is made for the pure division, even right there,
01:19:19with that lock up going right to that elbow, hold right to the wrist lock,
01:19:22so many things transition, he's got back to the wrist lock, taking Andrede down,
01:19:28nice wrist lock here, and of course, a little bit different in this match, Moriarty got the
01:19:37wow, Andrede's gonna have to get used to these rules, you can see right now, looking around,
01:19:41looking at the referee, like what happened, and look at that, one-handed handstands out of it,
01:19:45into the wrist lock himself, down, nice trap into the cover, backslide gets,
01:19:51crucifix there, gets surprised Moriarty right there, Moriarty's not used to being out wrestled,
01:19:57and this one's a little bit different, Caprice, the time limit last time gave the
01:20:01title shot to Moriarty, we see the judges today, meaning it's the time limit of 10 minutes,
01:20:06is reached, we will go to the judges, which is an interesting wrinkle, oh, wait a minute,
01:20:12right there, there's a forearm, okay, inside, inside palm, oh, poor city stretch, yeah, that's,
01:20:18that's in, that's, that's what you're talking about, and Moriarty just going to work, he knows
01:20:24these rules inside and out, he's not, and Andrede's grabbing his robes instinctively,
01:20:29I mean, it's like you see him and you grab him to get out of the hole,
01:20:32but he's working against Andrede in this match, up and over, popping through, rolling out,
01:20:36Andrede off the ropes, that's the clothesline, Andrede now, it is Andrede,
01:20:40five hits as a takeover, Andrede big time, drop kick sends Moriarty to the ground,
01:20:47and Andrede now stalking the champion in this proving ground bout, springboard, nice twist,
01:20:54two, springboard twist and press, Moriarty trying to get back to his feet, getting to the corner
01:21:00there, and Andrede on the stalk, Andrede now, oh, and across the chest, oh, and that woke Moriarty
01:21:08up, yeah, so we're going to miss there, whoa, front face lock, oh, out of it, nice, shoulder
01:21:16driver, if you know Andrede and Jetty has had shoulder surgery before, and Moriarty's a studied
01:21:24wrestler, and a technician as well, studies the sport, man, pushing away with that foot,
01:21:31wow, into the corner, look at Moriarty move here, half hatch, up and over,
01:21:37nice pin, two, holds onto that wrist, look at that, man, knows exactly what he's doing,
01:21:44look at that, stepping on that shoulder, that's what I was talking about, Moriarty never stops
01:21:47moving, you never want to give control of that wrist away, if you're not going to go directly
01:21:54for a move like that, and Moriarty right back to it, that's the little things, man, a jump step on
01:21:59the wrist, man, it's this unique movement here by Moriarty, that's what I'm saying, and the most
01:22:03thing impressive about Moriarty is even being like Shane Taylor promotes it the way that Shane
01:22:07Taylor allows people to be who they are, if you wrestle, you wrestle, you don't have to turn it to
01:22:11anybody else, be who you are, I just have your back, I could use a stretch right here, yeah,
01:22:15the abdominal stretch with the wrist lock, trying to keep, it keeps you from being able
01:22:20to get out of this fast, because you can't get momentum to swing around when that left arm is
01:22:24trapped, looking to make his way to the ropes here, Andretti, I think Moriarty is going to
01:22:31let him get to the ropes, yeah, oh, smart play, he touched ropes, he said that's three,
01:22:39yeah, Moriarty knows what he's doing, look at that, half drag in, it's a cradle here, Andretti one,
01:22:45two, two, kept there, I don't think Andretti knows what's happening here, because next time
01:22:50a submission happens, wow, Insiguri, and if I'm Andretti, I gotta go for the win now, because
01:22:56if I'm the judges, I have Moriarty well ahead on points, yeah, due to the rope breaks, oh goodness,
01:23:01head on points, and a hit in the wrestling here, but Andretti, look at it, fire back here,
01:23:07back breaker, into the neck breaker, and Andretti wrestling a great wrestling match, man, and almost
01:23:13if it was a wrestling match, it would be even, but the things that is making Andretti lose,
01:23:16is the rules in the pure match, that's what makes this division so difficult to compete in, oh,
01:23:31the agility, what, oh my goodness, Arabian press,
01:23:36yes, catches Moriarty, Moriarty thought he knocked Andretti off balance,
01:23:45well now both men have a closed fist, it's Andretti, wow, through the ropes, like a boomerang,
01:23:53Moriarty thought he was gonna go back in and dish out some more punishment on Andretti,
01:23:57and Andretti coming right back, this was making Andretti impressive, waiting for Moriarty to get
01:24:01to his feet, springboard, close line, inside leg hook, two, could it be, no, holds onto that ankle,
01:24:09oh, look at this, cloverleaf perhaps, oh, the fingers are locked, twisting Moriarty over,
01:24:16now is Moriarty gonna go for a rope break, he has three of them, but would the pride of the
01:24:20pure division keep Moriarty from getting to the ropes, and he tries to break out, hand on hands,
01:24:26looking to push up, yes, that pride, he doesn't wanna touch the ropes,
01:24:32oh, but yeah, he was gonna tap otherwise, that shows you right there that Moriarty knows the
01:24:36rules, he doesn't wanna use those rope breaks, he knows the rules, he has those rules embedded
01:24:43inside of him, up and on, across the chest, it's Moriarty now, arms caught, oh, Andretti down,
01:24:55he's locked in, that's in the middle of the ring, you know what, no matter if Andretti gets to the
01:24:59ropes, it doesn't matter, Andretti's trying to instinctively go to the ropes, because that's
01:25:03what you're used to doing, it's not gonna matter, now stretch your arm, transition, Moriarty's
01:25:08swinging back to the middle, nowhere to go, Andretti's gonna try again to get to the ropes,
01:25:13man, his heart's gonna be broken if he gets there, all that effort for nothing, Andretti,
01:25:18but even still, we've seen wrestlers try and use the rope as a leverage point to try and dump their
01:25:22opponent to the outside, Andretti needs to swivel the hip, get the hip over him, try to roll through
01:25:27with the momentum, it's not gonna matter, yeah, much easier said than done, Andretti, locked in,
01:25:31that is it, I give Action Andretti a lot of credit, his first pure bout and jumping right in
01:25:49with the champ, the style, the rules, everything, Taylor made for the man who won this proving
01:25:55ground bout, Lee Moriarty, tell you what, Lee Moriarty is like sure legs, he's got rules,
01:26:01he knows how to use them, and this rivalry between Shane Taylor Promotions, Andretti and Top Flight
01:26:09continues, we saw just a taste of it on Collision, respect, what we see is the code of honor,
01:26:19bit of a cold shoulder there for Moriarty, I like this champion, I don't think we've seen the last
01:26:25of STP, Andretti, and Top Flight, as tonight, it's the pure champion, Moriarty victorious,
01:26:37and fans, at death before Asada, we saw one of the most violent bouts we've ever seen,
01:26:41Laila Hirsch, Tiamante, using tables, chairs, thumbtacks, as you see there,
01:26:48Hirsch trying to do anything to inflict violence, there was blood, there was barbed wire,
01:26:53there was unmitigated violence, it was Tiamante though, prone on the table, Laila Hirsch sacrificing
01:26:59herself, including dislocating her elbow to win this violent Texas Deathmatch.
01:27:06People know me as a wrestler, but the reality of it is, I've always been a fighter,
01:27:14I've always been underestimated, over and over again, because of my size,
01:27:19in the first ever female Texas Deathmatch, I proved that I wanted the best, Tiamante,
01:27:25you took me to the limit, and you gave me the fight of my life, but when my back is up against
01:27:31the wall, I always find a way to get back on top, this is a message to the locker room,
01:27:38I am way more than meets the eye, and if you step up, I'm gonna show you just how legit I am.
01:27:46The following contest is scheduled for one fall, with a 30 minute time limit,
01:27:54and it is for the Ring of Honor World Television Championship.
01:28:03It'd be awesome to see Laila back in action, all healed up.
01:28:08World Television title will be decided here tonight.
01:28:11The man who is a former IWGP Junior Heavyweight Champion, no stranger to the rigor of...
01:28:21Introducing first the challenger, President of Jonestown, New South Australia, weighing 176 pounds, Robbie Eagles!
01:28:35No stranger to the rigor and demand of being a champion, Caprice Robbie Eagles.
01:28:41Enters tonight uniquely qualified to dethrone our current champion,
01:28:46has always had great success, whether it be in New Japan, or doing tours with New Japan CMLL,
01:28:54against Luchadores, our champion happens to meet that description.
01:28:57Exactly to the G.
01:28:59It's a good one, representing Mexico, City, Mexico,
01:29:08he is the Ring of Honor World Television Champion, Atlantis Junior!
01:29:18Atlantis Junior shocked the crowd when he showed up on ROH TV.
01:29:24I remember it clear as day, it was June the 20th, making the challenge for the winner of Lee Johnson and Kyle Fletcher.
01:29:33It was Kyle Fletcher who won that bout and said, hell yeah, I'll come down to Mexico City.
01:29:39And it was a great bout, but Atlantis Junior shocked some in America, shocked no one in Mexico.
01:29:47They know what kind of athlete this man is, with the lineage, the heritage coming from his great father Atlantis,
01:29:56and became the Ring of Honor World Television Title.
01:29:58Fought five men, that six-man survival of the fittest, fought to death before his honor,
01:30:04and walked in and walked out with that title held by Brandon Martinez there.
01:30:08One of the most impressive wins I've seen, but what that shows, man, is that not only the Ring of Honor champions
01:30:14defend their titles on Ring of Honor, but they defend them across the world, and no title is safe.
01:30:18This title was won in America and lost in Mexico, now brought back to America with Atlantis Junior,
01:30:26going against someone from Australia with a great background, man.
01:30:29I'm a huge fan of Robbie Eagles, sniper in disguise.
01:30:33I'll throw up a nice shot down there from Robbie Eagles.
01:30:35It is Eagles, you said of Australian descent, competes primarily in New Japan,
01:30:39could take this title back to Japan, which has happened before.
01:30:42Great cut deal, Abbott, evasion here, both men evenly matched.
01:30:45Eagles has had great success over the years against Luchadores,
01:30:48could be his match to lose as the challenger, which is not something you normally set.
01:30:52He has great experience, has great teammates with the Mighty, don't kneel,
01:30:55with the Knee Snack Saver, knows how to put a great game plan together, work the body part.
01:31:02Might have been knocked out right there by Atlantis Junior.
01:31:06Tell you what, when you're born into this sport, when your father's a wrestler,
01:31:09and you're doing it, and you're good at it, that's what Atlantis Junior is, man.
01:31:15Took it very serious at a very young age, and a lot of these wrestlers,
01:31:18these Luchadores have been wrestlers since they were 12, 13, 14 years old,
01:31:21and training even longer.
01:31:23Reminds me of Dustin Rhodes,
01:31:24Dusty Rhodes, that relationship where it's just a natural as Atlantis Junior.
01:31:29Just like our former champion, Ruse Bandido, up and over.
01:31:35See the way Robbie got over there as he faded there.
01:31:40Whoa!
01:31:40He's so impressive, man.
01:31:42The Sniper doesn't miss, Ricker Bonney.
01:31:46He does not got all of that.
01:31:49And the reason why he doesn't miss is because he's been in this game long enough
01:31:52that he only shoots when he knows he's going to hit it.
01:31:55He's not one of these high flyers that just comes and throws the risk with all.
01:31:59He only puts the risk out there now when he knows he's going to pay off,
01:32:02and that makes him a very dangerous man.
01:32:05And now, making sure the count is broken.
01:32:09So he has all the time he desires on the outside here.
01:32:14Now, he's taking his time to find a body part to focus on,
01:32:18start working on it, go back to it,
01:32:21and then start striking from different directions.
01:32:24That's how he got his other nickname, the Limb Reaper.
01:32:27Yeah.
01:32:28He has eagles sending Atlantis in.
01:32:30A lot of wrestlers, they're either a high flyer, a brawler, a technician and all,
01:32:33but Robbie Eagles is so many in one.
01:32:35Watch this.
01:32:36Yeah.
01:32:38And the mountain cover.
01:32:40Two.
01:32:42Oh, able to get that shoulder up.
01:32:43Atlantis Jr., that right shoulder on our camera left there.
01:32:47And Eagles, who looks for that Ron Miller special,
01:32:52which is a variation on the figure four.
01:32:56He will also go for that running enziguri.
01:32:59There's so many ways he can beat you.
01:33:01His top rope maneuvers, he can do as well.
01:33:04He has a great 450, diving headbutts and all that.
01:33:07He can do anything, man.
01:33:08He's one of these guys that is not that big,
01:33:11but has found a way to make his body a weapon.
01:33:15And look at that.
01:33:15The forearm connects, and the champion delivers.
01:33:18Separation created, distance closed, boot caught.
01:33:23And it is eagles.
01:33:25See that pre-setting timing right there that Eagles made?
01:33:27Tell you something, don't miss.
01:33:29Yeah, spinning heel kick there.
01:33:31And it is Eagles kicking up back to his feet now.
01:33:37As Eagles hooks the leg.
01:33:39Two.
01:33:40Taking his time, digging that elbow in deep for that cover.
01:33:43Atlantis Jr. know he's in a fight, but Atlantis is-
01:33:46Oh, wait a minute.
01:33:47Come on.
01:33:49And you know what?
01:33:49I'm just about to make a comment.
01:33:51There's no panic in the kickouts of Atlantis,
01:33:54but this might be a mental strategy to create panic with the mask.
01:33:57As you hit the nail on your head,
01:33:58I would say that it is all to distract Atlantis Jr.
01:34:01to make him think about the mask,
01:34:03because the mask is so important in Mexico.
01:34:06It lutes your doors.
01:34:07It's your identity.
01:34:08It's your heritage.
01:34:09It's everything.
01:34:10And if you get that mask loose,
01:34:12you're trying to hold it onto your head,
01:34:13and you definitely don't want to be exposed.
01:34:15But now it's in your way because it's moving around your eyes.
01:34:17Cover, two.
01:34:19Making it hard for you to breathe.
01:34:22And Eagles has let the match come to him.
01:34:25He is focused and he's found that lane,
01:34:27that pace he likes.
01:34:29It is deliberate.
01:34:30It is purposeful.
01:34:31It is out of the playbook of TMDK.
01:34:33We see it with Zack Sabre Jr.,
01:34:35with Mikey Nichols,
01:34:36with Shane Hayes,
01:34:37and we're seeing it right now with Robbie Eagles.
01:34:39Robbie Eagles might have found his focal point,
01:34:41and that is the left knee of Atlantis Jr.
01:34:45Oh, into the corner.
01:34:46Atlantis Jr. able to get out.
01:34:48No one home in the corner there.
01:34:50Eagles!
01:34:52Huge chop.
01:34:53And the challenger wrestling a perfect match right now.
01:34:58The Irishman into the corner,
01:34:59up and over the champion.
01:35:01They have found an opening here.
01:35:03Kicked in the midsection.
01:35:05But it's Eagles caught.
01:35:06Atlantis Jr.
01:35:08Big thrust kick there.
01:35:10Gut wrench.
01:35:11Uh-oh.
01:35:12Gonna put him away here,
01:35:13drop him on his head.
01:35:15Stay in that position right there.
01:35:17Atlantis Jr.
01:35:18Stays in that pinning position.
01:35:20Oh, he's not done.
01:35:21Real balance in place.
01:35:23Make the cover fast.
01:35:25Step!
01:35:26Two!
01:35:27No!
01:35:29Oh, and Eagles, the damage down on the neck.
01:35:30You can see him grabbing.
01:35:32Once the adrenaline of that kick out wore off.
01:35:35Tell you what, Atlantis is actually a brainer.
01:35:37Was that a three?
01:35:37I've never seen a referee be like,
01:35:38dang, he was right.
01:35:39That was a three count.
01:35:40Keep wrestling, man.
01:35:42As Atlantis now,
01:35:44heading to the outside,
01:35:45the world television champion.
01:35:47Heading up top.
01:35:48Shake it off.
01:35:49I like that.
01:35:50Yeah, we know where that comes from.
01:35:54And knock on the front splash.
01:35:56Paying respect to Eddie,
01:35:58but it might've cost too much time there on the top rope,
01:36:01allowing Robbie Eagles to get his wherewithal.
01:36:03And now Robbie on the outside of the ring,
01:36:06creating space, but also setting up offense.
01:36:09And Caprice, that was how he defeated Atlantis Jr.
01:36:11Defeated Kyle Fletcher for the title
01:36:14at Mexico City Arena, Mexico.
01:36:16Watch this springboard.
01:36:17And Eagles.
01:36:19Targeting the knee.
01:36:20That's what I was telling you, man.
01:36:21He's found his target, man.
01:36:23The Sniper of the skies.
01:36:24Working in.
01:36:26He's got it in.
01:36:27It is locked in.
01:36:29Denison in the ring here.
01:36:30I don't think the champion's going to tap.
01:36:31We're going to have to find the ropes here,
01:36:33but Eagles will rotate.
01:36:34He might, Caprice.
01:36:35Yeah, look at the way the hips are moving from Eagles.
01:36:38Yeah.
01:36:38For every movement Atlantis Jr. has.
01:36:40He's thinking about it.
01:36:42Eagles has not a counter move.
01:36:44He's just out of his.
01:36:46He's shaking.
01:36:46Look at that.
01:36:46The power.
01:36:47The power of the danger.
01:36:48You might have a new champion.
01:36:50The champion is in danger, Tom.
01:36:52The balance.
01:36:53Digging with everything he's got.
01:36:54Digging with so much pain.
01:36:55Reaching out with pain.
01:36:56Atlantis has to be in.
01:36:58Reaching.
01:36:58I've got the ropes.
01:36:59Kyle's got the ropes.
01:37:01I'll tell you what.
01:37:01The damage is done and Eagles is going to take that five count.
01:37:05Locked in to the knee.
01:37:06And who can blame him?
01:37:08Who can blame him for hanging on just a little bit more
01:37:11with the money, the prestige?
01:37:12We saw the worldwide coverage.
01:37:14Atlantis Jr.'s title win got.
01:37:16Imagine what would happen here.
01:37:18Esports Stadium and Australia defeats a man from Mexico and America
01:37:21to win the Rigobon teaming title.
01:37:23I love Grim Krippler.
01:37:24Krippler right here.
01:37:25Right back on the knee, man.
01:37:30Man, look at this.
01:37:31Off the ropes.
01:37:32Eagles.
01:37:33Oh, got it.
01:37:35Backbreaker there.
01:37:37Backbreaker.
01:37:37That backbreaker goes across what, Rigobon?
01:37:40Goes across the knee.
01:37:41Atlantis put himself in more trouble with that move,
01:37:44but might have bought him some time.
01:37:47It's a game of trade-offs.
01:37:49It is those quick split decisions that separate the champions from the challengers.
01:37:54We will see if that decision, that split second decision, pays off, Caprice.
01:37:57Well, sometimes there's moves that you just do instinctively.
01:38:00And that was one of the moves he instinctively does was Atlantis,
01:38:03but it cost him that time.
01:38:04That's why Atlantis is not able to get to his feet right here.
01:38:07Now we have an even bout.
01:38:09Anybody can win.
01:38:11Connect.
01:38:11They deliver.
01:38:13Trying to fire back up the champ back to his feet first.
01:38:16That's a good sign for Atlantis back to his feet.
01:38:19But the challenger able to absorb these forms, at least for now.
01:38:23Oh, that running knee.
01:38:25Right to the breadbasket.
01:38:26It's Eagles here.
01:38:27Off the ropes.
01:38:28Here he comes.
01:38:29The challenger.
01:38:31Eagles got one of those eyes shut, man.
01:38:33Wait a minute.
01:38:36One, two, oh, wow.
01:38:38That was so close.
01:38:40The only reason that wasn't a three count was for that little shift of momentum.
01:38:43Oh, tilt the world backbreaker again.
01:38:46No one home.
01:38:47Down.
01:38:50Oh, the stack gets two.
01:38:51The stack gets two there.
01:38:53It's Atlantis Jr. back to his feet.
01:38:57Eagles caught that.
01:38:58Oh, wow.
01:38:58Look at this.
01:38:59Eagles.
01:39:02That mare driver.
01:39:04Cover.
01:39:04Two.
01:39:06It's these little seconds here that Eagles is having to do
01:39:09to put Atlantis in place.
01:39:11The turbo backpack.
01:39:12Oh, got two.
01:39:13That's allowing Atlantis to still be here, but
01:39:16Eagles is going to the sky, Rick Gabbani.
01:39:18Certainly is.
01:39:20The sniper's going, having something is wrong with his eyes.
01:39:23Yeah, he got that shot to the eye inadvertently from Atlantis Jr.
01:39:28Trying to get that vision back in focus.
01:39:30Yeah, I don't know if that's going to help.
01:39:32Able to reset, though.
01:39:35And Atlantis, big kick.
01:39:40Spacebar.
01:39:40Oh, God.
01:39:43Shot inside the knee.
01:39:45Sure, no.
01:39:46Block.
01:39:47Off the ropes.
01:39:49To the world.
01:39:50Atlantis, look at this.
01:39:51Oh, no.
01:39:53His back breaker.
01:39:56And misfortune.
01:39:57All right, I'm ready.
01:40:00The submission.
01:40:01Yeah.
01:40:10And Atlantis Jr.
01:40:12Atlantis has just went up four notches in my book, man.
01:40:16Not only is he a champion that was able to survive the survival of the fittest,
01:40:20but beating Robbie Eagles, the game plan worker in the back,
01:40:23and working food at the university.
01:40:25Wow, what a champion we have here, Rick Gabbani and Atlantis Jr.
01:40:29The variation of the Argentinian backbreaker called La Atlantina.
01:40:34A signature move from his father, the legendary Atlantis.
01:40:38The first time we've seen it in Ring of Honor.
01:40:41And he's saving it for a special occasion.
01:40:47He pulled it out with an opponent worthy of using it against a man he respects.
01:40:54And Robbie Eagles, a great title defense.
01:40:57What a match here on Honor Club.
01:40:59This is what it's all about right here.
01:41:01And a code of honor here, too.
01:41:10Great display of respect.
01:41:12Two great athletes, the international stars.
01:41:14And the second of five Ring of Honor on the World TV title.
01:41:18Right now, we're standing with the newest member of the Ring of Honor board of directors,
01:41:22Paul White.
01:41:23What an exciting time to be a Ring of Honor fan.
01:41:25Ring of Honor fans, we just saw our World Heavyweight Champion,
01:41:28Mark Briscoe, defeat Johnny TV.
01:41:31And Mark Briscoe has recapitulated to me many times how he's upset
01:41:35over being pinned by the Beast Mortos on Dynamite.
01:41:38So he's come to me and he wants to face the Beast Mortos.
01:41:41The Beast Mortos now next week is going to get a championship opportunity
01:41:45against our World Heavyweight Champion, Mark Briscoe.
01:41:49Again, here we go.
01:41:50We're giving away opportunities.
01:41:53Giving away opportunities to more people who don't deserve it.
01:41:57You know, we've been the MVPs of Ring of Honor.
01:42:01Daivari just took Shibata to the limit.
01:42:04And lost.
01:42:07That's not the point.
01:42:09I mean, if you think about it, you also went with Ishii and you lost.
01:42:14Yeah, well now Mark Sterling, okay, is in a trainer's room
01:42:18because Shibata decided to attack a non-competitor,
01:42:21which might I add should be either a fine or suspension.
01:42:24But no, we're busy just giving away opportunities, right?
01:42:29Okay, listen, I understand your grievance.
01:42:31How about this?
01:42:33You have a match against Lio Rush.
01:42:35You win that match and then we'll talk about championship opportunities.
01:42:39Is that fair?
01:42:41So again, I got to prove myself.
01:42:43Yes.
01:42:45Lio Rush, it looks like I'll be the giant in this match.
01:42:51Thanks for the layup.
01:42:54Wow, so big news for this show here on ROH.
01:43:02Tony, Nese, Lio Rush coming our way soon.
01:43:06Now it's time for our main event.
01:43:11This is a six-man tag team match, several wet balls with a 45-minute time limit.
01:43:16And it is for the Ring of Honor World Six-Man Tag Team Championship.
01:43:22Approaching the ring, our challengers
01:43:24at a combined weight of 811 pounds,
01:43:29totally unidentifiable,
01:43:31Gings of Agony,
01:43:32The Machine,
01:43:33Bright Cage,
01:43:35together,
01:43:36The Uncage of Agony.
01:43:41They stopped playing with him, Rick Bonney.
01:43:43In my opinion, this is the most dominant trio
01:43:46we have ever seen in Ring of Honor, Caprice, two times over.
01:43:50Ring of Honor World Six-Man Champs could make history,
01:43:53become three-time champs here tonight.
01:43:56We share the same thing and the same opinions.
01:43:59I definitely agree with you on that.
01:44:00But the six-man tag team champions here have history.
01:44:03Certainly do.
01:44:04First time their fathers teamed together in 1978.
01:44:07Their legacies and family lineage continues in ROH.
01:44:11Their opponents are the Ring of Honor World Six-Man Tag Team Champions.
01:44:17First, wrestling in Austin, Texas,
01:44:20The Natural,
01:44:22Dustin Rhodes.
01:44:26Nearly 50 years of history, of lineage, of tradition.
01:44:31Their Rhodes meet once again here tonight.
01:44:35His partners are wrestling in Denton County, Texas,
01:44:38Marshall and Ross,
01:44:40The Ford Elite.
01:44:44Ross on your left,
01:44:45Marshall in the beautiful 10-gallon hat on the right.
01:44:48Devon Eriks and Dustin Rhodes captured
01:44:51the Ring of Honor World Six-Man Tag Team Championships
01:44:54back at Battle of the Belts, Caprice.
01:44:56And they have looked and gelled quickly
01:45:01unlike most six-man teams we've seen here at ROH.
01:45:06It doesn't get any better than Devon Eriks in Texas, man.
01:45:09The history runs deep with Devon Eriks.
01:45:12The history runs deep with the Rhodes
01:45:14to have them combined and to have them near Ring of Honor
01:45:17is definitely an honor.
01:45:18But a capitalization is happening here in the heart of Texas.
01:45:23We continue to talk about the history,
01:45:26but we must think about the continued legacy
01:45:28as Ross and Marshall extending that championship heritage,
01:45:32that lineage well into the 2020s now.
01:45:36As we see Devon Smith holding those beautiful six-man titles high.
01:45:41That's what it's all about.
01:45:42The most dominant six-man team in ROH's history.
01:45:45Taking on the brand new champions who defeated the Dark Order
01:45:50in a bit of a grudge match to defend those titles.
01:45:52They defeated the Undisputed Kingdom at Battle of the Belts to win the titles.
01:45:59In my opinion, this is their toughest matchup yet, man.
01:46:02Two-time six-man tag team champions,
01:46:04and then the one standing there,
01:46:05multiple-time six-man tag team champions.
01:46:08And these guys, every one of them are more powerful than the other side.
01:46:11They've been a unit longer.
01:46:13It's going to take the experience within them
01:46:15and the brains of the Operation Dustin to get them past this one.
01:46:17And that's just my opinion.
01:46:25You hear the Von Erich chants.
01:46:27Of course, this is our main event at All In.
01:46:30Coming your way in less than two weeks.
01:46:32Almost every match is a main event.
01:46:34History will be made in London, England.
01:46:36You can watch it live on pay-per-view.
01:46:39But of course, as we see, a nice kip-up into a...
01:46:42Oh, nice judo throw there from Ross.
01:46:45We want you to be there in person as well, if you can.
01:46:48Ticketing information, AEWTIX.com.
01:46:51Tickets are moving fast.
01:46:52Almost sold out.
01:46:55As we see, Khan now with the advantage here.
01:46:58Yeah, I like the way Ross approached Khan.
01:47:02He has no fear right in his face.
01:47:04Many people don't do that.
01:47:05He's able to get that judo throw on the side of Khan.
01:47:08And now, take him to his corner.
01:47:09This is like unwilling of Khan.
01:47:11You can see right there.
01:47:11We're going to see here.
01:47:12Yes, sir.
01:47:14Marshall, man, this guy is big and explosive.
01:47:18He's in his jeans.
01:47:19Ricker Bynum got a double dropkick.
01:47:22Yes, sir.
01:47:23And Ross and Marshall almost like mirror images of one another
01:47:25with the height, the agility on those dropkicks.
01:47:28I tell you what, Ricker Bynum,
01:47:30between the Rock and Roll Express and the Von Erichs,
01:47:32man, I was dropkicking doors and people in kindergarten.
01:47:35And I'm going to give a shout out to your son, Chase,
01:47:38who recently competed against Ricky Morton,
01:47:41the Rock and Roll Express.
01:47:44Absolutely, man.
01:47:45I got a message from Ricky Morton on Twitter, man.
01:47:47He was ecstatic about it.
01:47:49He said, my son did a phenomenal job.
01:47:51Everybody was happy about it.
01:47:52And I'm just, I'm happy about it myself.
01:47:54Thanks for that, Ricker.
01:47:54And I'll tell you what, that speaks to the family lines
01:47:56that we're seeing right here with the Von Erichs.
01:47:58A big boot from Khan off the ropes.
01:48:01Oh, a clothesline.
01:48:03The Cameroonian Prince is explosive.
01:48:05Tag made.
01:48:07Taking control, tagging back.
01:48:08And I'll tell you what, no family lines here,
01:48:10but they act like a family.
01:48:11The Cage of Agony.
01:48:14Two of the most dominant reigns we've ever seen
01:48:16as Khan delivers.
01:48:17Cage him for the first time.
01:48:19And now Cage and Khan to totally own it.
01:48:23And that's the advantage right there.
01:48:24Not only the power, but being a cohesive unit,
01:48:26being able to work together,
01:48:27know what each other's thinking,
01:48:29not really needing coaching,
01:48:31being able to go out there and do it yourself.
01:48:33And Von Erichs is definitely great,
01:48:34but definitely taking the tutelage and coaching
01:48:37from Dustin on the outside,
01:48:38the one with the most experience.
01:48:39Well, I'll tell you what,
01:48:40I think that's what's brought them to the next level
01:48:42is Dustin Rhodes.
01:48:43Tag made.
01:48:43We've said it.
01:48:44They went on excursion to NOAH.
01:48:45They've been all around the world.
01:48:47Japan, you name it.
01:48:48Oh, goodness.
01:48:50And it really has been,
01:48:52it's really seemed to click as Marshall trying to fight
01:48:54out of the wrong side of the town
01:48:55now that they've teamed with Dustin.
01:48:57But Marshall needs to get out of that corner
01:48:59and out of that corner fast.
01:49:01Definitely.
01:49:01He's trying to do it right now with his hands.
01:49:03Oh, wait a minute, Juan.
01:49:05But you see how Khan right there
01:49:07putting himself in between the body.
01:49:08Marshall able to escape though.
01:49:09Tag made.
01:49:11And in comes Ross.
01:49:12Big boot there.
01:49:13And another high extension.
01:49:15And it's Frost.
01:49:17Nice.
01:49:17Wow.
01:49:20Sleeper running there.
01:49:21That shows the agility right there of Ross.
01:49:23But you know, you got two tags in on that side
01:49:25and both tags to the brother.
01:49:26Sometimes that's instinctly,
01:49:28Dustin hasn't been in yet.
01:49:29Another hip throw.
01:49:30Yeah, there you go.
01:49:31Man, I love the tenaciousness right here of Ross.
01:49:34Off the ropes.
01:49:37Kick through the chest.
01:49:39I'll tell you what,
01:49:40teaming with Dustin Rhodes is really taking these volunteers
01:49:42to the next level.
01:49:45Off the ropes.
01:49:45Oh, wait a minute.
01:49:47Brian Cage.
01:49:52It only takes a second, Ricker Bonnie,
01:49:54to distract that attention.
01:49:56And it's gone.
01:49:57Ross still fighting though.
01:49:58Yeah, with the big boots.
01:49:59Oh, Khan.
01:50:01Wow.
01:50:03Man, these type of tricks here kind of reminded me
01:50:05of the Freebirds versus the Raw Next type stuff.
01:50:09Shades of Bam Bam Gordy on the outside.
01:50:11Brian Cage just wiping out Ross.
01:50:15My man, Ricker Bonnie.
01:50:16You called that one.
01:50:17Yep.
01:50:17And a cover here.
01:50:18One, two.
01:50:20Wow.
01:50:21Two count only.
01:50:23Cage of agony.
01:50:24Now into the corner.
01:50:25Tag made.
01:50:28Khan.
01:50:31Open hands.
01:50:31And now looking for a double veal.
01:50:34Oh, smartly keeping.
01:50:35Wait a second.
01:50:36Keeping them in the cage of agony.
01:50:37Elevated.
01:50:37Corner.
01:50:41And those elevators.
01:50:42Just imagine how high Ross went in the air and came down.
01:50:46Nothing but Matt instantly knocking the breath out of you, Ricker Bonnie.
01:50:49Yeah, I can't imagine what's going through the head right now of Ross
01:50:52as he's trying to capture his air,
01:50:54capture his breath,
01:50:54trying to fight out of the corner to make the tag.
01:50:57This huge man event.
01:50:58Six-man titles on the line this week.
01:50:59This championship edition of Ring of Honor.
01:51:03Scary fall, man.
01:51:06The most thing you think is trying not to land on your head.
01:51:08There's so much power in the ring.
01:51:09My toe is not taking any punches.
01:51:12No, look at this.
01:51:12Just taunting Dustin Rhodes and Marshall Von Erich with Ross's prone body.
01:51:19Now into the corner.
01:51:20Tag made.
01:51:21Brian Cage in.
01:51:25And Cage, such a finely conditioned athlete.
01:51:29We say it every time we see him, Caprice.
01:51:30Those muscles.
01:51:31Not just for show.
01:51:32He's got the endurance.
01:51:33And then when you got two men who know to take advantage of situations like Khan and Toa Leona.
01:51:41Gary, the thing about these guys, Ricker Bonnie,
01:51:42is that you got Cage, like you said, that's explosive and agile as well.
01:51:46And then you got Toa, who's just brute force.
01:51:49And then you have Cameroonian Prince.
01:51:51One.
01:51:52Oh, come on.
01:51:53Look at that cockiness.
01:51:54Cameroonian Prince has technically sound and a great mind.
01:51:59Well, especially with and with the titles on the line.
01:52:01Cage and the Gates know how hard it is.
01:52:04Tag made.
01:52:05They were amazing fighting champions.
01:52:08I wouldn't have taken that pause to do those push-ups as Khan is in now.
01:52:14They defended those titles more than any other team in the history of the titles.
01:52:20I don't understand why you would cover two.
01:52:23Why you...
01:52:25I'm agree with you here, Ricker Bonnie.
01:52:27It's almost like you have the champions.
01:52:29They're using the champions as underdogs.
01:52:31They don't respect the champions enough to make these fine covers.
01:52:35And I hope it doesn't cost them in the end.
01:52:36But these are our Ring of Honor six-man tag team champions for a reason.
01:52:40And we heard Dustin Rhodes on Rampage two weeks ago.
01:52:43We see the Von Erickson, Dustin Rhodes all over.
01:52:47As you see Marshall trying to get the crowd alive, trying to get the attention of Ross.
01:52:51Letting him know where he's at to make the tag.
01:52:53The hand is outreached.
01:52:55Yeah, I told you, just talking junk.
01:52:57What, you think you got something here?
01:52:58Neutral corner.
01:52:59Wow!
01:53:02Clearing Marshall.
01:53:04And now charging in.
01:53:05No, and home for Ross.
01:53:06Ross has an opportunity.
01:53:07He's got an opening.
01:53:08He's got line of sight to Dustin.
01:53:10But he's going to need to crawl, grab, and do anything he can to make the tag.
01:53:15Definitely going that way.
01:53:16Tony to make a tag too.
01:53:17Brian Starr will beat him deep into the abbey.
01:53:19Boss man inside.
01:53:21Here comes Dustin McClosign.
01:53:23And another Brian Cage is down.
01:53:26And the natural is in.
01:53:27Irish Rupert Burst off the ropes.
01:53:29Ducks down.
01:53:30Wow!
01:53:32Signature.
01:53:33Down too long.
01:53:34Now he's singing a song.
01:53:37Nice kick there.
01:53:38Dustin Bulldog!
01:53:41And Khan is in.
01:53:46Beautiful power slam.
01:53:47And now a German suplex on Toa.
01:53:49Cage swinging a miss.
01:53:50Wait a minute, this could be it.
01:53:52Looking to end things.
01:53:55I'll meet you at the crossroads.
01:53:57Dustin Rose.
01:53:58Two!
01:53:58Two!
01:53:58Oh!
01:53:59Oh!
01:53:59Wow!
01:53:59Khan just didn't make a tag.
01:54:00Hey, Rick and Bonnie, Cage did not kick out of that.
01:54:03No.
01:54:04Cage was down for the count as Khan.
01:54:06Oh!
01:54:10Delivers air raid crash foot across.
01:54:13Big time knee.
01:54:15And knee flushed on the chin of Khan.
01:54:17And knee flushed on the chin of Khan.
01:54:19Khan!
01:54:20Oh my god!
01:54:21Toa!
01:54:22And look at Marshall.
01:54:23Discus Lariat!
01:54:25Plants the big man.
01:54:26Let's go!
01:54:27Oh, but don't turn around.
01:54:29Brian Cage!
01:54:31F by five.
01:54:35Swing and a miss.
01:54:36Big thrust kick.
01:54:38And it's Cage with Dustin now.
01:54:40The two legal men.
01:54:42Uh-oh.
01:54:43Gonna try the same thing.
01:54:44You can't try the same thing.
01:54:45Oh my god!
01:54:46Texas Destroyer!
01:54:48Leg is hooked!
01:54:49Toa!
01:54:51Wow!
01:54:54My goodness, I thought that was it.
01:54:56It's almost like you can't anticipate what Dustin's gonna do.
01:55:01And the crowd coming alive for the world's six-man champs.
01:55:04Oh!
01:55:05The Claw!
01:55:08I've been working on my claw, Rick and Bonnie.
01:55:10What is this?
01:55:11Who is this?
01:55:11That's the Undisputed Kingdom?
01:55:13And that's the Dark Order?
01:55:16What the hell is going on?
01:55:20Why are they working together?
01:55:21And they're all going to...
01:55:23This doesn't make any sense.
01:55:24No, it makes no sense!
01:55:26Unbelievable!
01:55:29There's Reynolds and Udo and Silver in the Undisputed Kingdom.
01:55:33And who's this?
01:55:34Sammy Guevara!
01:55:36But it's almost nine on one.
01:55:40Guevara's gotta fight, though.
01:55:42Uh-oh.
01:55:43Yeah, but it's still an even size, Rick and Bonnie.
01:55:45It's still outnumbered.
01:55:46And this is pretty much...
01:55:49Geez, what is this?
01:55:50Eight on four.
01:55:52Right now...
01:55:52I was gonna let you do the math, not me.
01:55:54Wait a minute, who's this?
01:55:54Here we go!
01:55:56Oh, here we go!
01:55:56Serpentico and Helico!
01:55:58Look at those shoulders!
01:55:59There you go!
01:55:59And Helico!
01:56:01Serpentico!
01:56:06Boy, even now, Rick and Bonnie...
01:56:08Oh!
01:56:08It's a melee!
01:56:09This is...
01:56:10This is crazy!
01:56:11Unbelievable!
01:56:13Stephon on the outside, he says,
01:56:14you know what?
01:56:15Hand it in!
01:56:17I'm trying to keep up with the action here,
01:56:18but I can't...
01:56:20I can't keep pins or tails,
01:56:21there's too much dusting!
01:56:24Well, the main action is the Rhodes
01:56:26and the Von Erics are all down.
01:56:29And Bennett standing tall.
01:56:31Guevara trying to help out his new friends.
01:56:34We have security...
01:56:35It looks like security trying to come in.
01:56:36Oh, they're wiping out security now.
01:56:39Oh!
01:56:39No!
01:56:43Oh no, what is...
01:56:45Yeah.
01:56:45What are they trying to orchestrate here?
01:56:47Oh God!
01:56:49You got 10 men in the ring
01:56:50and you send two security.
01:56:51That's all I'm saying.
01:56:52Math ain't math.
01:56:55I mean, we know the security detail
01:56:57was with the board of directors member
01:56:59Paul White earlier.
01:57:00Oh no, no, no.
01:57:02Ross is sent down!
01:57:04Oh God!
01:57:06This right here is a sign
01:57:07to the six-man tag team champions
01:57:09that there's so many people
01:57:11that look at this target.
01:57:12The six-man tag champions
01:57:13have targets on their backs.
01:57:18Oh my goodness.
01:57:19Spicoli driver delivered.
01:57:21Oh no, now just the tip of the knee.
01:57:25This is unreal.
01:57:27No, no.
01:57:28Brian Cage with Quango Del Sol now.
01:57:30No.
01:57:31What is this?
01:57:33Gorey bomb, Gorey special.
01:57:35No, even worse!
01:57:38Gorey flatliner.
01:57:41Whatever Cage wants,
01:57:43what are they setting up now?
01:57:45No way!
01:57:46You know the history
01:57:46behind Justice's neck.
01:57:47Oh no, come on.
01:57:49Somebody's got to break this up.
01:57:51Search and clear of Pear Neck
01:57:52and his history.
01:57:53Someone's got to get in there.
01:57:55Everybody that's fighting.
01:57:56Oh my goodness.
01:57:58Hail Mary!
01:58:00Collapsing the neck.
01:58:03Oh, wait a minute.
01:58:03Got the office coming out.
01:58:04Wait a minute.
01:58:05Looks like Christopher Daniels,
01:58:06board of director member Jerry Lynn.
01:58:09Referees, officials.
01:58:13Oh, come on.
01:58:14And we got to clear this up.
01:58:15We have to clean this up.
01:58:18And they knew they did this
01:58:19because they knew Paul White
01:58:22was in the back.
01:58:23They knew Paul White
01:58:24had official business to do.
01:58:26There's no other reason
01:58:28these cowards wouldn't have done this
01:58:29if Paul White hadn't been
01:58:31conducting official business.
01:58:32They took advantage of that fact.
01:58:35Definitely took advantage of the fact
01:58:36and look at the damage that is left.
01:58:39No matter what the repercussions are,
01:58:40the damage is done.
01:58:42Six-man tag team champions.
01:58:45They're Barnable right now.
01:58:46They are wounded.
01:58:48They've left laying.
01:58:50It was an eight on three attack
01:58:52at one point turned to eight on four
01:58:53by the time Serpentico on Helico
01:58:56and Fuego.
01:58:57Oh, come on.
01:58:58By the time they got down there,
01:59:00it was too late.
01:59:01Fans, we're going to try
01:59:02and get this under control.
01:59:03We got to get this scene
01:59:04off the television
01:59:05for Capri Zombie and Riccoboni.
01:59:06Happy wrestling, everybody.
01:59:11Oh, shit, oh, shit, oh, shit.
