00:00:00The last Saturday, the Ring of Honor World Tag Team Titles were on the line of collision.
00:00:06You see Roderick Strong of the Undisputed Kingdom interjecting himself, it wasn't enough.
00:00:10The heart of Dustin Rhodes, Devon Erick settling the score, even the odds.
00:00:14Guevara with the cutter, Rhodes with the suplex.
00:00:16Guevara up top, Sandy Guevara, big senton to the top, one, two, three.
00:00:26And the night ended with history made, Dustin Rhodes, the double champ,
00:00:29new Ring of Honor World Tag Team Champions here in Arlington.
00:00:32Welcome everyone to Ring of Honor Wrestling.
00:00:51The new Tag Team Champions who you saw kick off the show, how they won the titles.
00:00:56They will team with Devon Erick to take on the Undisputed Kingdom,
00:00:58the former champs of the Dark Order.
00:00:59I'll tell you what a match that's here for speed, power, and honor.
00:01:03Tony Nese is taking on Lio Rush, and Lio Rush wants to make him build a rush.
00:01:09But don't forget Tony Nese, Paul White, that arrangement there.
00:01:12Commander in the house here tonight, taking flight, taking to the sky.
00:01:16The high-flying Luchador will be in action here in Arlington.
00:01:19A lot of action happening tonight, and a lot of posing as well.
00:01:22I can't call it out, but I'm sure Rick Obata will be ready.
00:01:26MXN in action tonight.
00:01:28Oh, wow, what a match that will be.
00:01:30And we will see six-man tag team action.
00:01:33One of the greatest six-man champs of all time, the Cage of Agony,
00:01:36taking on the world TV champ, Atlantis Junior, Serpentico and Fuego del Sol.
00:01:40With their eyes on the Ring of Honor Women's World Championship,
00:01:44scaring their way to the top, we will see Abaddon in action.
00:01:48They will be in action indeed.
00:01:50And for the Ring of Honor World Championship, Mark Briscoe,
00:01:53defending his world title against the undefeated since his return,
00:01:57Beast Martos, that's our main event tonight.
00:02:02Ready for our opening contest here in Arlington,
00:02:04the brand new ROH World Tag Team Champions, Dustin Rhodes, Sammy Guevara,
00:02:09teaming with the Von Erics, of course.
00:02:12Caprice, history made on Collision last Saturday.
00:02:17Dustin Rhodes becoming a double champion, teaming with the Von Erics.
00:02:20He's a six-man champ.
00:02:22But also Guevara, new tag team, defeating Bennett, who you saw there.
00:02:25And David O'Hanlon.
00:02:27Whoa.
00:02:29A little Texas salute, and we're off here.
00:02:30Wait a minute.
00:02:31Quadruple claw.
00:02:33Texas salute to the Texas claw.
00:02:35There we go.
00:02:36Oh, wait a minute.
00:02:39Five claws.
00:02:41Pentagonal in nature.
00:02:46And we are now to the outside.
00:02:48It's Rhodes and Reynolds.
00:02:51It is Ross and David.
00:02:53There is Rhodes with Alex Reynolds.
00:02:57And this is indicative of the fight we saw.
00:03:00Big chop there.
00:03:02Rhodes.
00:03:05There's action all over the place.
00:03:06It's hard to keep up.
00:03:07I don't envy our camera crew, our producers
00:03:11trying to find the violence here.
00:03:12Oh, goodness, David.
00:03:15David kissed the post.
00:03:17And this is Crown Bennett.
00:03:19Or no, excuse me, Silver sending Marshall.
00:03:23Wow.
00:03:24Big punch from those huge hands of the double champ, Dustin Rhodes.
00:03:29Wow.
00:03:31There's a lot about Dustin Rhodes.
00:03:33Talking about his last ride.
00:03:34His last ride, he's riding like he's got all the jewelry with him.
00:03:38That's right.
00:03:39Looking like Steve McQueen in the movie Bullet, with all of that swag.
00:03:44And a kick in the midsection from Bennett.
00:03:47Oh, god.
00:03:49And it's Guevara and Bennett.
00:03:51No love lost there after Saturday, when it was raw.
00:03:57What do you call that, Caprice?
00:03:58Oh, wait a minute, look at this.
00:04:00I don't know if I can say that.
00:04:03Clap on the booty.
00:04:05Veteran blogger, Sammy Guevara there.
00:04:08And we are off in the middle of the ring.
00:04:09Fans, we're going to get this in quick, because it is all in weekend.
00:04:15Oh, big kick there.
00:04:16Of course, Wembley Stadium.
00:04:17Beautiful.
00:04:18Big drop kick this Sunday, August 25th on pay-per-view.
00:04:22Limited tickets remain.
00:04:24Be a part of history.
00:04:25Tag made there.
00:04:27As Ross sends Reynolds off, and it's Marshall.
00:04:29Wow.
00:04:31My goodness.
00:04:33So impressive how these guys take technical moves
00:04:36that people are used to see them, and they turn them up 10 notches.
00:04:41Oh, and it's become personal between the Dark Order
00:04:43and the Von Eriks Caprice, of course.
00:04:45Tag made.
00:04:46It wasn't that long ago, back at Dept of Court of Honor,
00:04:49where the Dark Order fought the Von Eriks and Dustin Rhodes
00:04:53to get a shot to win the vacant World Six-Man Championship.
00:04:58Yeah, and ever since then, man, at Dark Order,
00:05:00we've really been seeing the Dark Order that we didn't know they were.
00:05:07And it's Dark Order more aggressive, more assertive, and picking up more wins.
00:05:12They're viable contenders for the Six-Man Tag Titles and Tag Titles.
00:05:16They certainly are, and things have gotten heated.
00:05:18The sneak attacks of Dark Order laying out Dustin Rhodes.
00:05:20Tag made.
00:05:21Speaking of, The Natural is in.
00:05:24Oh, look at this.
00:05:25He looks reinvigorated.
00:05:26He looks renewed.
00:05:29This is a man who, honestly, tag made.
00:05:33I was kind of surprised, as Bennett had never
00:05:36competed in Ring of Honor before.
00:05:37Yeah.
00:05:38And then won his debut at Death Before Dishonor.
00:05:41Won the next night at Battle of the Belts,
00:05:43defeating the Undisputed Kingdom to win the vacant Six-Man Titles.
00:05:47I think not only does he have honor, wanted to be part of Ring of Honor,
00:05:53but the respect that he's been given by the locker room is undeniable.
00:05:59Yeah, let's mirror each other here.
00:06:01And I feel your pain.
00:06:05A good close line there.
00:06:06That's sympathy, Rick, about him.
00:06:07Or empathy.
00:06:08I never get that right.
00:06:11One of the two, right?
00:06:12Wrist lock.
00:06:13Yeah, one of them.
00:06:14Tag made.
00:06:16And Taven in.
00:06:17Matt Taven, Grand Slam champion here in Ring of Honor, of course.
00:06:20Taven's crowning achievement.
00:06:21Ooh.
00:06:22Won the world title at.
00:06:23What's going on here is they're trying to trap Dustin in the corner.
00:06:27They're trying to keep him.
00:06:29Look, if you trap Dustin, you kind of trap the brains of the crew.
00:06:32Let's just be honest.
00:06:33And I think they're trying to cut Dustin.
00:06:36Oh!
00:06:38And now it's just a tip down.
00:06:40Just a tip.
00:06:41Off the knee.
00:06:41Hooks the leg.
00:06:42Cover.
00:06:42Two.
00:06:44Two count only there.
00:06:45If you take the brains of the operation, the ideas go away.
00:06:49You can't call it a fly.
00:06:51Taven just laying an onslaught on Dustin.
00:06:53Yeah, mounting Dustin.
00:06:55Action continues to pick up.
00:06:57Taven, of course, a Grand Slam champion in Ring of Honor.
00:06:59One of only a handful have been doing titles in ROH.
00:07:03Oh, wait a minute.
00:07:06Unlikely tagging.
00:07:07Oh, and he was just taking too much time.
00:07:11Yeah, Taven was looking for Bennett.
00:07:12Reynolds tagged in.
00:07:13And Bennett blind tags Reynolds.
00:07:14Now Silver blind tags on Bennett.
00:07:15Now all four on the attack.
00:07:18Now they're on the same page.
00:07:19They had to come together.
00:07:21Trying to put the work on Dustin.
00:07:22If Dustin almost escaped, all that work would have went away just like that.
00:07:26And you see Reynolds and Bennett posing.
00:07:29Silver.
00:07:30Oh, come on.
00:07:33And look at that.
00:07:33Bennett just taunting Dustin.
00:07:35Boom.
00:07:37I'm so impressed how Dustin continues just to get on his feet.
00:07:40Oh, but not at this moment.
00:07:42Hooks the leg to count only.
00:07:47Dustin desperately wanting to tag, needing to tag as well.
00:07:50Reaches to that corner and is so close but so far away.
00:07:53And Silver backing him right back in.
00:07:55And just this great tag team work here.
00:07:57And Dustin, a veteran of the six-man tag wars, held those championships in 1991.
00:08:02Tag made.
00:08:03He's earned the Ring of Honor version.
00:08:05Oh, goodness.
00:08:0633 years later.
00:08:11Dustin is a hard guy to trap, man.
00:08:13He's making it very hard to keep him in the corner, keep him on that side of the ring.
00:08:17And Taven and Bennett really good at cutting off the ring.
00:08:20I think the dark order are kind of listening to Taven and Bennett.
00:08:24Dustin's still fighting, man.
00:08:25He's probably the hardest guy to cut off.
00:08:27And they're trying to do it, but he still has a lot in him.
00:08:30And you got to think about what's going through Bennett and Taven's mind.
00:08:32Having lost those world tag team titles last Saturday on Collision.
00:08:35They are coming into this in a revenge situation.
00:08:38Rhodes back to his feet.
00:08:39Bennett with a drop kick.
00:08:41I tell you, that drop kick was not only perfect, it was perfectly placed.
00:08:44Placing Dustin right back in the corner.
00:08:47And tag made to Taven.
00:08:49You saw Reynolds trying to intercept the tag again.
00:08:53If the dark order and the Undisputed Kingdom get on the same page,
00:08:55it is over for Rhodes, Devon Erickson, and Guevara.
00:08:59But Rhodes trying to fight back now.
00:09:01The right jab.
00:09:01Oh, Taven connects.
00:09:03Oh, beautiful side rushing leg sweep.
00:09:07Watch this.
00:09:08Moonsault.
00:09:09Springboard, got it.
00:09:11Hooks the leg, cover, two.
00:09:14Two only.
00:09:16Dustin continually trying to get over to any time they talk to the ref
00:09:19or talk to the crowd.
00:09:21Dustin makes his way to the corner.
00:09:23And that's where they've got to be careful,
00:09:25because they have the advantage right now, Caprice.
00:09:27Lateral press, hooks the leg, two.
00:09:29And they could maintain it.
00:09:30They can continue it.
00:09:31They're wrestling a good match.
00:09:33If they wrestle a perfect match and really keep Dustin in the corner,
00:09:38cut down the talking.
00:09:40Yeah, and that talking is against each other,
00:09:43which is the worst part of argument you can have of who's doing what.
00:09:47Oh, my god.
00:09:47Geez.
00:09:48The outside.
00:09:49And now five on four.
00:09:50There's Guevara.
00:09:51Guevara had enough.
00:09:52One half of the world tag team champions.
00:09:54Takes out Udo.
00:09:55Takes out Taven.
00:09:58It only takes so much.
00:10:01Bennett going to push Dustin right back in,
00:10:03and right back in his bad side of town.
00:10:05I tell you what, Dustin's in a lot of trouble.
00:10:07He's looking to make a tag.
00:10:09He sees Guevara.
00:10:10But now Bennett just taunting Dustin here.
00:10:12Just paint brushing him with the sole of that foot.
00:10:15Now off the ropes.
00:10:16It's Dustin.
00:10:17Beautiful snap slam.
00:10:19That snap slam normally makes the cover.
00:10:21But Dustin not in enough shape to make the cover.
00:10:24Trying to find his tag team partners.
00:10:26This is where your partners make the noise.
00:10:28Let them know where you are.
00:10:29And it's Taven in.
00:10:30Taven up and over.
00:10:32Taven to the apron.
00:10:33And now it's Reynolds sending to Taven.
00:10:35Rose on spaghetti legs.
00:10:37Trying to make the tag.
00:10:38Irish whip.
00:10:39Great move by Reynolds.
00:10:40Off the ropes.
00:10:41Bulldog.
00:10:44This is the farthest that Dustin has been away from that side.
00:10:48He's so close to Guevara.
00:10:49He's got to make a tag now.
00:10:52One half of the tag champs reaching out.
00:10:56It's Guevara to Rhodes.
00:10:57It's Reynolds to Silver.
00:10:58Got him.
00:10:59Makes the tag.
00:10:59In comes Sammy Guevara.
00:11:01High cross body.
00:11:05Two footer price to one.
00:11:06Silver shot off reverse.
00:11:08Oh, look at that.
00:11:08It's Guevara connecting.
00:11:10Popping up.
00:11:12Off the ropes.
00:11:13Sammy G sending Mike Bennett out to the outside.
00:11:17Big back elbow.
00:11:19Springboard.
00:11:20Whoa.
00:11:21Plants Reynolds with a cutter.
00:11:25Oh, look at the power of Guevara.
00:11:28Wow.
00:11:29Straight to Guevara.
00:11:30Popping up.
00:11:31Rolling through.
00:11:32Tag is made.
00:11:35Guevara up top.
00:11:36With it.
00:11:36Guevara just spins to the top so fast.
00:11:41Beautiful swerve, Tom.
00:11:43Beautiful.
00:11:43Wow.
00:11:45That was like a frogton.
00:11:47And now it's Marshall.
00:11:49Marshall, but Eric loaded.
00:11:52My goodness.
00:11:53Through the air.
00:11:54Hooks the leg.
00:11:55Two.
00:11:56Oh, Bennett.
00:11:57Tayvon makes the save.
00:12:00And now all eight men in.
00:12:02All eight men locking horns here,
00:12:05reminiscent of how we went off the air last week
00:12:08with the brawl that sent us into chaos
00:12:11to end Ring of Honor last week.
00:12:14I just hope this brawl ends with a pin or a submission,
00:12:17Stephon, trying to get order.
00:12:19It might end with some awards and some shattered dreams,
00:12:22maybe some golden globes here.
00:12:25Oh!
00:12:31Wow!
00:12:32Crowd in Arlington is on fire.
00:12:34Stand on your feet.
00:12:36History.
00:12:39Uh-oh.
00:12:39The claws are up, and the four men riding into Arlington,
00:12:45looking for revenge from last week.
00:12:48Oh, come on.
00:12:49Tayvon with the low blow.
00:12:51And Reynolds and Bennett and Silver.
00:12:55Uno had that chair distracting Stephon.
00:12:57Stephon getting the chair out the ring like he should.
00:13:01And all eight men now have suffered the same fate, Caprice.
00:13:04I got to keep the same energy.
00:13:06You usually call me out on it.
00:13:07Yeah, I can't be getting on the undisputed kingdom
00:13:10in the Dark Order's case, because Rhodes, Guevara,
00:13:12and LeBron Erics did it to their opponents.
00:13:16But it just shows how much animosity is in this match,
00:13:20how much the feelings are in there, how personal it is.
00:13:24And now it is Ross and Matt Tayvon, Ross Von Erics,
00:13:28delivering the big boot, sending Tayvon down.
00:13:30Reynolds driving through.
00:13:33Wow, that uppercut from Rhodes.
00:13:34But it's Silver with an incendiary.
00:13:37Tell you what, rising to the occasion are the Von Erics,
00:13:40because with this much animosity, this much hatred,
00:13:43you want to see if the Von Erics turn it up or not.
00:13:45They've done more than that.
00:13:47Look at Marshall.
00:13:48Oh, looking for the claw here from Marshall.
00:13:49Right to the eyes.
00:13:51Tayvon to the eyes.
00:13:53Oh, straight to the chin.
00:13:55And kick of the conqueror.
00:13:59Kick of the king.
00:14:00And beautiful combo, Silver with the bridge.
00:14:03One, two, Guevara with the save.
00:14:06One half of the new world tag team champions
00:14:08makes the save there.
00:14:10That combo had the undisputed kingdom
00:14:11and the Dark Order involved in it.
00:14:14And they are on the same page, Caprice.
00:14:15You're absolutely right.
00:14:17That's great chemistry for five men.
00:14:19And look at this.
00:14:20Yeah, five, the operative number.
00:14:21Uno trying to get involved in the game,
00:14:23but it's Ross, all the way to the outside.
00:14:27And Bennett shots on Rose.
00:14:29It's Reynolds and Ross with a 15 minute flight.
00:14:32Oh, the conqueror.
00:14:35I'll tell you what, Rick O'Brien,
00:14:36he was hoping that the undisputed king
00:14:38and the Dark Order got on the same side.
00:14:40They are more than on the same side.
00:14:41Now, very dangerous for the Von Erics, Dustin and Guevara.
00:14:45But here comes Sammy.
00:14:47Sammy looking for a high impact, but it's Reynolds.
00:14:49Able to shut things down with a big boot.
00:14:52Cutting Guevara off at the pass there.
00:14:55And now Alex Reynolds off the ropes.
00:14:57Sammy Guevara ducks down.
00:14:59Sends Reynolds for a ride.
00:15:03Guevara in the ring.
00:15:04I think he wants to go out, Rick O'Brien.
00:15:06Well, he's been looking for takeoff.
00:15:08He's been looking for clearance from air traffic control.
00:15:11And now look into the sky,
00:15:14where he will take to the air.
00:15:16Guevara.
00:15:17Whoa.
00:15:22Look at him on their feet.
00:15:23No action like Ring of Honor live.
00:15:26And these fans in Arlington have been electric
00:15:29since we've been here.
00:15:33It sure is awesome.
00:15:35As Marshall Von Erics may be looking
00:15:37for that big lariat once more.
00:15:41Swing and a miss.
00:15:41Telegraphed it too much.
00:15:43Silver stack, handful of tights too.
00:15:45Oh, we almost had a victor there.
00:15:46Oh, the strength of silver.
00:15:50The strength of silver.
00:15:53Tell you what, that's a smart move by Silver right there.
00:15:57I don't know if it works.
00:15:58Right handed Claw.
00:15:59Has it locked in.
00:16:02Feigning.
00:16:04And Marshall.
00:16:06Look at this.
00:16:09Claw.
00:16:10Whoa.
00:16:11He's got it.
00:16:12He's got it.
00:16:13He's got it.
00:16:13He's got it.
00:16:15Claw.
00:16:16Slam.
00:16:17Playing Silver, dusting with the block.
00:16:19Two.
00:16:20That's it.
00:16:23The winners of this match,
00:16:24the team of Sammy Gamora and the ROH
00:16:27World Six-Man Tag Team Champions,
00:16:29Dustin Rhodes and The Von Erics.
00:16:34Caprice, if that's our opener here tonight.
00:16:37Yeah.

00:17:17Now Beast, you pinned me one, two, three
00:17:20in the middle of the ring on AEW Dynamite
00:17:23just a few weeks ago.
00:17:24I ain't gonna shy away from that.

00:17:28I ain't gonna make no excuses.
00:17:30But now you done sealed your fate, son.
00:17:33You done sealed your fate.
00:17:34So let me recommend to you, moving forward in life,

00:17:41buy you one of them time machines,
00:17:42hop in at some bitch and go back to that Wednesday night.
00:17:45And instead of hopping on top for the one, two, three,
00:17:48maybe you should go tag out or something.
00:17:50Cause this ass whooping that's coming tonight
00:17:53is all because of that.
00:17:55You understand what I'm saying, son?
00:17:56And the good Lord put me on this earth
00:17:59for one reason and one reason alone.
00:18:02It's to whoop ass, to take names, and to slay beasts.
00:18:07You understand what I'm saying?

00:18:17Heading into tonight's main event, Mark Briscoe,
00:18:19defending the Ring of Honor world title
00:18:20against the Beast Mortos.
00:18:25Wow, I'm looking forward to our main event.
00:18:28But guess what?
00:18:29We have six-man tag team action up now.
00:18:33This is a six-man tag team matchup
00:18:35for one fall with a 20-minute time limit.
00:18:38Team number one with a combined weight of 811 pounds.
00:18:42Gates of Agony of Toto Leona and Bishop Kahn.
00:18:46The Machine Bride Cage.
00:18:49Together, the Cage of Agony.
00:18:55Toto Leona on the left, Bishop Kahn on the right.
00:18:58The Cage of Agony down the middle.
00:19:00The man clad in the Wolverine gear.
00:19:05Brian Cage.
00:19:07What a six-man unit this team is.
00:19:10Yeah, the most dominant trios
00:19:12in the history of Ring of Honor.
00:19:14Yeah, the destruction just walking down the aisle, man.
00:19:17Each one of these guys, well put together,
00:19:21functional athletes that have one goal in mind,
00:19:25and that's to win.
00:19:26Well, and Brian Cage saw some posing
00:19:30in tribute to his mentor, the late, great Chris Canyon.
00:19:32But Kahn said, hey, we're not getting paid by the hour.
00:19:36We want to fight, and we want to win this bout
00:19:37as quick as we can.
00:19:39Quite a challenge on the hand, though.
00:19:41Their opponent, first, from San Juan, Puerto Rico,
00:19:44weighing 175 pounds,
00:19:47representing Spinach High Notes Project, Serpentico.
00:19:53And Serpentico, the energy has returned.
00:19:57The green mask has returned.
00:20:00Serpentico feeling brand new and just like himself
00:20:07as he was able to get that mask back
00:20:10by defeating Rick Garrison.
00:20:15Wrestling out of Dallas, Texas,
00:20:18Fuego del Sol!
00:20:23Fuego del Sol riding high
00:20:25on a winning streak here at Ring of Honor.
00:20:29Come back and get on the winning boards,
00:20:30Rick and Bonnie, and kind of get some momentum going.
00:20:35And Fuego del Sol, victor in single competition
00:20:39as of late.
00:20:40Jumping in, the six-man tag action.
00:20:46They love him here in Arlington.
00:20:47They certainly do, and they love this man,
00:20:50a man who ran the table in survival of the fittest.
00:20:53Their partner, wrestling in Mexico City, Mexico,
00:20:57he is the Ring of Honor World Television Champion,
00:21:03Francis Jr.
00:21:07The first and only man to enter
00:21:11the number one ring of honor
00:21:13in survival of the fittest final.
00:21:16As a champion, defend his title in the bout
00:21:19and leave with the title of champion.
00:21:21And leave with the title of round this week's.
00:21:24Yeah, unquestionable now is Atlantis Junior Championship
00:21:29material, absolutely.
00:21:33And I'll tell you what, sometimes
00:21:34you have these second-generation stars.
00:21:38We see with Devon Eriks where their father's legacy
00:21:42or mother's legacy is so great
00:21:43that you wonder just how they even begin
00:21:47to try and fill out Atlantis Junior.
00:21:49I'm not gonna lie, man,
00:21:50I had my questions about Atlantis Junior
00:21:52when he won the title on the home turf.
00:21:56But he has proved to be a great champion.
00:21:57Now we're gonna start things off.
00:21:58Serpentico in totally on it in this six-man bout.
00:22:01Serpentico called, he's been called before, though.
00:22:04Certainly has.
00:22:05And an interesting bout because, ooh,
00:22:07we haven't seen many luchadores face the cage of agony.
00:22:12Going for the knee here, off the ropes now.
00:22:13Smart, smart move.
00:22:15Yeah, there you go, Serpentico using the momentum.
00:22:18Oh, my God.
00:22:19Toa just got dropped.
00:22:21Serpentico was susceptible in that DDT attempt.
00:22:23Certainly was with that head, ooh.
00:22:25Feeling no pain there.
00:22:27Serpentico off the ropes, swinging a miss, close by.
00:22:30Oh, God!
00:22:32The air driven through the sternum of Serpentico.
00:22:36That change of direction, man,
00:22:38putting that low center body, cross-body style.
00:22:43That sudden movement from Toa
00:22:45has Serpentico in a lot of trouble.
00:22:47Tag made, now the Khan.
00:22:49Prince Riccoboni.
00:22:51Certainly is.
00:22:53Cameroonian prince, and in his village,
00:22:57by which his family comes from,
00:22:58you become the leader, you become the prince.
00:23:01By wrestling.
00:23:02By wrestling, yep.
00:23:03And so, great family lineage there.
00:23:05Hooks the leg, two.
00:23:08You can look this stuff up, Riccobonis.
00:23:10Look at that royalty.
00:23:13And maintaining control of the wrist.
00:23:16It is Khan now.
00:23:17Front face lock.
00:23:19Wait a minute, inside cradle here.
00:23:20One, two.
00:23:22Serpentico almost got it right there.
00:23:24And Khan, a three-time six-man champ,
00:23:25teamed with Shane Taylor Promotions on the first ring.
00:23:27Tag made.
00:23:28Played with those soul in, now two rings.
00:23:30Cage of agony in the soul of the beautiful Hurricane Rana.
00:23:33Very smart move by Soul,
00:23:34not coming in with a body press,
00:23:35coming in with the strikes to stay away from the big man.
00:23:38Up and around!
00:23:40Caitlin Flynn, it's actually close by from Khan.
00:23:42It's 20 knots.
00:23:43Oh!
00:23:44Back up to his feet.
00:23:46Off with the head of Khan.
00:23:48Toa in now.
00:23:50Ducks the right.
00:23:52And around again.
00:23:54Oh, a ladder with an enziguri.
00:23:55Quaggles on fire, Riccobonis.
00:23:57Certainly is.
00:23:59Off the ropes.
00:24:01Oh!
00:24:03My goodness, it all works until you get caught.
00:24:05Cover, two.
00:24:07Yeah, that Hurricane Rana blocked
00:24:09into the powerbomb and out of the mouth from Khan.
00:24:11Well, that's the second time he tried it on Khan.
00:24:13The first time he was successful,
00:24:14went for it the second time,
00:24:16trying to keep the momentum going,
00:24:17and the Cameroonian Prince cut him off.
00:24:20And it's Khan,
00:24:23who was really the,
00:24:25almost like the Marine
00:24:25of the Shane Taylor Promotions team,
00:24:27tag-mate, and he's the workhorse
00:24:29of the Cage of Agony team.
00:24:31He's also the one that always has a great poise about him.
00:24:35He's always in control of his mind.
00:24:36He's not one that's angered easily.
00:24:38Well, and a man, oh, goodness!
00:24:40You don't get a body like this
00:24:42without being focused or poised.
00:24:43Brian Cage in.
00:24:45Big scoop and a slam.
00:24:47Off the ropes.
00:24:48Oh, beautiful drop.
00:24:49Thing that's so impressive about Cage, man,
00:24:53is that he's not just a huge power wrestler.
00:24:56He's very agile himself.
00:24:58Absolutely, moves so quickly, those snap movements.
00:25:02Fuego, who's over 200 pounds, by the way,
00:25:05being curled by Brian Cage.
00:25:07Can you curl 200 pounds with your body?
00:25:09Five, six, five, six, five, six, five, six, five, six, five.
00:25:11I don't know if I've curled 200 pounds total in my life.
00:25:13Up and over, and the double bicep.
00:25:17Yeah, but I don't think Cage saw Fuego laying on his feet.
00:25:19No, laying it on his feet, indeed.
00:25:21Looking for the tag to the World TV Champ Atlantis.
00:25:25And Fuego, whoa, goodness!
00:25:30And a great series of counters-to-counters,
00:25:34the ring awareness.
00:25:35Yeah, that was Cage knowing how.
00:25:37And now, Fuego wanted to flip,
00:25:40and it allowed him to do it,
00:25:41but knew where he was gonna land.
00:25:44And now, and Fuego is hurt.
00:25:46Yeah.
00:25:47Fuego is definitely hurt.
00:25:50The wrong side of town as well.
00:25:53And a big scoop here.
00:25:56It is Toa.
00:25:58Ooh, see Toa holding the ropes,
00:26:00keeping Fuego in place with those knees straight to the rib.
00:26:05Area to core, area of Fuego.
00:26:08Still in control.
00:26:09Oh, big backbreaker.
00:26:11Gotta see how much he's bent.
00:26:15And Toa, cover, two.
00:26:17And no offense to Toa.
00:26:19Oh, now just choking Fuego.
00:26:21It's gonna take a little bit more
00:26:23than a single arm press on the chest
00:26:24if Fuego does so to put him away.
00:26:25Yeah, if Fuego can fight, he's gonna fight.
00:26:28If there's breath inside of his body, he's gonna wrestle.
00:26:31But I tell you what,
00:26:31the onslaught that Toa is putting on him,
00:26:33the onslaught, the beating that he's taking,
00:26:39it's amazing that he's still moving.
00:26:41Agree 100% as Toa scoops up Fuego.
00:26:45Into the corner, tag made.
00:26:46Khan and opening, Fuego saw it.
00:26:49As Khan, rolling senton there.
00:26:51Just let you notice the cohesive unit.
00:26:53Two.
00:26:56They're not just big, scary guys.
00:26:57They think, they have game plans.
00:26:58They come out with a game plan.
00:27:00They wrestle, they're cutting rings off.
00:27:02Well, and that's why,
00:27:04when Ring of Honor came to Honor Club,
00:27:07that these three men,
00:27:09before Athena asserted herself
00:27:11as the most dominant, most defending champion,
00:27:13it was these three men as the six-man champs.
00:27:15You're right.
00:27:16That carried that mantle quite well.
00:27:17And now the six-man titles are back in Ring of Honor.
00:27:23Rhodes in the Monarchs.
00:27:25Of course, here you see Khan,
00:27:26a great technical wrestler, Serpentico,
00:27:28still trying to recover.
00:27:29Yeah.
00:27:31That's what I mean.
00:27:32I mean, you see where Serpentico is.
00:27:34He's not up in his corners,
00:27:35means he's not ready to wrestle.
00:27:36But Fuego has taken so much more punishment.
00:27:39How much pain is Fuego in?
00:27:41Atlantis wants to get in so bad.
00:27:44And trying to reach out, make the tag.
00:27:45Oh, jawbreaker.
00:27:47Looking to make the tag.
00:27:49It's Fuego del Sol.
00:27:53And Khan here.
00:27:54Fuego up and over.
00:27:56And that break plans Khan.
00:27:57Can he make the tag for the world TV champ?
00:27:59If there's any opportunity, it's right now.
00:28:03Because Khan would have to keep the body
00:28:05in between Fuego and Atlantis Jr.
00:28:09Khan in a lot of trouble.
00:28:10They decide to make a tag.
00:28:12Looks like Khan's gonna try to make a tag,
00:28:14but grabbing the ankle of Fuego.
00:28:16There you go.
00:28:16That's tag team work right there, Rick Abadi.
00:28:18Smart move by Khan.
00:28:19Very smart, yeah.
00:28:20Khan knows he's in trouble.
00:28:22Oh, Fuego.
00:28:22Pushed away.
00:28:23Tag made to Cage.
00:28:24Fuego and the world TV champ is in.
00:28:26And Ryan Cage is in.
00:28:27That's the clothesline.
00:28:29Big right.
00:28:30And it's Atlantis.
00:28:31Brian Cage.
00:28:32No strangers to one another.
00:28:32Think back to Devin Laforte's honor.
00:28:34These two men were in the finals
00:28:35of the survival of the fittest.
00:28:38Cage reigning control right there on Atlantis.
00:28:41Using the power again.
00:28:43Atlantis using the speed.
00:28:44And around.
00:28:45Beautiful fly catcher to take over
00:28:47from the world TV champ.
00:28:49Whoa!
00:28:50Cage reeling right there.
00:28:52It's not often you see Cage not able
00:28:54to get the balance on his feet.
00:28:56Oh, and ta-da!
00:28:58Connects on Cage.
00:28:59Atlantis has eyes in the back of his head.
00:29:01Riccoboni.
00:29:01Nice drop kick.
00:29:02Sends Toa out.
00:29:04Wow, big drop kick.
00:29:05Sends Khan out.
00:29:07Isolated cage for Cage.
00:29:09Plumbing forearm into the back.
00:29:10You can't turn your eyes on a beast, Riccoboni.
00:29:14Irish hook now.
00:29:15Whoa!
00:29:16Touchdown.
00:29:17Caught with a boot.
00:29:18That's the clothesline.
00:29:19Atlantis!
00:29:20Wow!
00:29:21Beautiful snap power slam.
00:29:22Outside leg.
00:29:22Two!
00:29:25Beautiful snap power.
00:29:27Cage weighs like 275, Riccoboni.
00:29:29Yeah.
00:29:29Yeah, the amount of strength, poise, footwork you need
00:29:33to be able to plant your opponent like that.
00:29:38Oh!
00:29:38Kick to the midsection there.
00:29:40Atlantis popping up.
00:29:41Rolling through.
00:29:42Got her!
00:29:43And a tag made at Serpentico.
00:29:45He's back up.
00:29:46He's going up high.
00:29:47Certainly is.
00:29:48Second rope on the outside.
00:29:50Oh!
00:29:51Atlantis delivers on Toa.
00:29:53Whoa!
00:29:55Shooting star, frog splash from Serpentico.
00:29:58Leg hug, two, going to be a blow!
00:30:02Wow!
00:30:04Two count only.
00:30:07Serpentico back to his feet.
00:30:11Separation created.
00:30:12Into the corner.
00:30:13Back elbow finds Cage.
00:30:16Thrust kick catches Cage.
00:30:17Serpentico up the ropes now.
00:30:19It is Cage.
00:30:20My goodness.
00:30:21Serpentico!
00:30:22No!
00:30:23Catching, driving the wind out of Serpentico.
00:30:26Fuego!
00:30:28Come on, baby!
00:30:29Deep left, Cage!
00:30:32And it's Khan.
00:30:34Woo!
00:30:35Rising up, Fuego!
00:30:36That misdirection by Khan got Fuego.
00:30:38Here comes that drop kick!
00:30:39Wow!
00:30:40Missile drop kick from the world TV champ.
00:30:42But it's Toa!
00:30:43Oh my goodness!
00:30:45Shoulder tackle!
00:30:47Toa, the last man standing.
00:30:49Come on!
00:30:51Come on!
00:30:52Toa looking to pick up the pieces.
00:30:56Trying to find who he feels is the weakest link
00:30:58to put this match away.
00:31:00He feels it's Atlantis.
00:31:02You get a win over Atlantis, no matter where it is,
00:31:05it puts you up in the singles column.
00:31:07Oh, up and over though.
00:31:07The world TV champ out of it.
00:31:09Off the ropes.
00:31:10Big kick on Khan.
00:31:13And now charging in.
00:31:14Flying head scissor catches Khan.
00:31:17And Toa to the outside!
00:31:20Oh, catches himself on the apron.
00:31:22Yeah.
00:31:23So we're going to miss.
00:31:25Atlantis big kick.
00:31:27He continues to have an answer for no matter what
00:31:30Cage or Toa or throw at him.
00:31:33Pop up!
00:31:34Oh, powerbomb!
00:31:35No answer for that.
00:31:37Oh!
00:31:38Big knee!
00:31:39Rocking the world TV champ!
00:31:42Into the corner.
00:31:44Whoa!
00:31:46Bisco going back up.
00:31:47Short time though.
00:31:49All the way up top.
00:31:50Serpentico!
00:31:50Oh no!
00:31:52He caught him!
00:31:53Drill claw!
00:31:54He got him!
00:31:55Drill claw!
00:31:56Plants Serpentico!
00:31:57Cover!
00:31:58Two!
00:31:59And it's in!
00:31:59The winners of this match, Cage of Agony!
00:32:09The role for the Cage of Agony continues.
00:32:14And a great effort from a first time trio.
00:32:19But it is Brian Cage in the Cage of Agony.
00:32:22Picking up another victory here in our orange.
00:32:30Wait, we're going to who?
00:32:31Can I go back?

00:33:16Vision is based on movement.
00:33:27That was so scary.
00:33:28Oh, I barely escaped with my life.
00:33:29Cheese and rice.
00:33:33And fans, we were wondering just who would step up
00:33:35to the plate to face the MxM Collection.
00:33:38Tonight, it's the Pillars of Destiny
00:33:40in tag team action against MxM.
00:33:43Every porcelain hussy in the back is afraid
00:33:47of the most dominant champion in all of wrestling.
00:33:52Athena, the Ring of Honor Women's World Champion,
00:33:53closing in on Samoa Joe's record
00:33:56for most days uninterrupted as champion.
00:34:00Perhaps writing a check that her nerves can't catch.
00:34:08Abaddon seems to have their eyes on Athena.
00:34:11Oh, here they come.
00:34:16This match is set for one fall of eight, 20 minutes time limit.
00:34:19Introducing the wrestler,
00:34:20wrestling out of the Black Hills,
00:34:22the living, dead girl, Abaddon.
00:34:28Abaddon with quite the win-loss record in ROH.
00:34:33True.
00:34:37They've been doing it convincingly as well.
00:34:41Abaddon.
00:34:44They are certainly here tonight.
00:34:48Looking to continue the win streak.
00:34:51We're gonna Bobby Crews for their opponent.
00:34:53Their opponent, Alexandra Lyon!
00:34:58Alexandra Lyon, a great young star.
00:35:01Gonna see if the code of honor will be adhered to.
00:35:05Hey, something else.
00:35:07Yeah, Alexandra doesn't know what to do here.
00:35:10You see right there in the hands of Alexandra.
00:35:13It's a spear.
00:35:15I'll tell you what, adapt when you're concerned.
00:35:18When you're wrestling Abaddon,
00:35:20your priorities might not be in order.
00:35:22Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh,
00:35:25oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
00:35:28Your priorities might not be in order.
00:35:31Oh, there's the code of honor, doing it.
00:35:34And Paul White mentioned to me,
00:35:36the newest member of the board of directors,
00:35:37some time ago, that his favorite wrestler period is Abaddon.
00:35:44And to see Abaddon continue to get more opportunities.
00:35:46Oh, goodness gracious.
00:35:48And then knock yourself out.
00:35:50Putting everything inside.
00:35:52I've seen Abaddon, the thing that keeps them going
00:35:55is they put everything into everything they do.
00:35:57Everything. Oh, my God.
00:35:59Nice kick by Alexander.
00:36:00Chris Adams style, deep in the heart of Texas.
00:36:03Oh, again, again.
00:36:10Their head just, it's like a slinky.
00:36:14It just came right back.
00:36:18Around. Oh, goodness.
00:36:22I don't think so.
00:36:25They are in control, stalking Alexander Lyon.
00:36:29Wait a minute.
00:36:31Gorey special, perhaps.
00:36:35Oh, goodness. Lyon.
00:36:42And we may be in the beginning of the end.
00:36:46Alexander seems to already be out.
00:36:49Barely moving.
00:36:51Black. And that's going to be it.
00:36:56Two. Got him.
00:37:00Who will win this match? Abaddon.
00:37:03That's scary.
00:37:06How would you plan for an athlete like Abaddon?
00:37:09I don't believe you can.
00:37:11I don't think they know what they're going to do
00:37:13before they come out, so how is the right word?
00:37:17They are on a roll, certainly now.
00:37:20Climbing up the championship rankings
00:37:25with another victory here on ROH.
00:37:28Your winner, Abaddon.
00:37:33Easy.
00:37:43Please rise for your American hero.
00:37:47I will restore the international championship.
00:37:50These two titles let you know that I'm the best in AEW.
00:37:54This ends at All In.
00:37:57I ain't prepared to die.
00:38:00I just get to write your eulogy.
00:38:02As if the stakes could get any higher.
00:38:04Your title versus my career.
00:38:07This will be your final countdown.
00:38:10This is All In.
00:38:12Oh, yeah. I've been waiting for this all night long.
00:38:19This tag team match is set for one fall day.
00:38:2220 minute time limit.
00:38:24Team number one at a combined weight of 423 pounds.
00:38:28Men's sword.
00:38:29Mason Manning.
00:38:31FXM Collection.
00:38:35Wow. Look at these guys.
00:38:38Unbelievable. Let's get a replay.
00:38:40Of what?
00:38:42A replay of the itch.
00:38:44You're right. We haven't finished it yet.
00:38:46Let's make sure we see all of it.
00:38:49Every second of it.
00:38:51Yeah.
00:38:53Are you okay, Rick?
00:38:55What? What do you mean?
00:38:57You're kind of losing it.
00:38:59Let's take it to Bobby Crews.
00:39:01Bobby Crews.
00:39:03Bobby Crews.
00:39:05Bobby Crews.
00:39:07Bobby Crews.
00:39:09Regain yourself, young man.
00:39:11Wow.
00:39:13Pillars of destiny.
00:39:15These guys look tough.
00:39:17Yeah.
00:39:19Hunter Gray in for revenge there.
00:39:25Chris, I don't know about it.
00:39:27Geez.
00:39:29Hunter Gray, Paul Titan, I don't know.
00:39:32Oh, geez.
00:39:34Yeah, these guys.
00:39:36We got to protect MXM.
00:39:38I don't know.
00:39:42Well, there you see
00:39:44Mason and Mansoor
00:39:46looking as good as ever.
00:39:48Yeah.
00:39:50I'll tell you what, a couple of weeks ago on Collision,
00:39:52it was a tough scene to see
00:39:54Mansoor go down with that hangnail.
00:39:56I'll tell you what, Manny.
00:39:58MXM has won me
00:40:00as a tech.
00:40:02Oh, yeah.
00:40:04The work they put in with FTR,
00:40:06man, it's a tag team match they've had.
00:40:08They've shown that they're more than
00:40:10just pretty faces, man. These are elite
00:40:12athletes.
00:40:20Yeah, don't do that.
00:40:22Make sure the pillars of destiny got their shots
00:40:24before they can't wrestle here.
00:40:26Yeah.
00:40:30Wow, can you believe?
00:40:32Look at the shape the MXM
00:40:34collection is in. Fans, you can

00:40:52Yes.
00:40:54Yeah.
00:40:56Side headlock here for Mansoor.
00:40:58I believe Hunter Gray is in.
00:41:00Oh, and
00:41:02Gray up and over.
00:41:04Nice side headlock.
00:41:06Beautiful.
00:41:08What, the headlock?
00:41:10Yes. Up and over.
00:41:12Oh, on his feet.
00:41:14Nice agility there by Mansoor.
00:41:16Oh, yeah.
00:41:18Look at this. Great wrestling.
00:41:20Trying to wear it down.
00:41:23Oh, no.
00:41:25Disqualify him.
00:41:27You can't do that.
00:41:29We ain't gonna see the match.
00:41:31We can bump.
00:41:33The Mansoor's wrist is more important
00:41:35than the what.
00:41:37Oh, shot to the midsection there.
00:41:39Mansoor up and over.
00:41:41Surefooted as he.
00:41:43Strike a pose.
00:41:45Oh, charging in.
00:41:47Nice drop down.
00:41:49Oh, caught.
00:41:51Look at this.
00:41:53Whoa.
00:41:55Great.
00:41:57Swing and a miss.
00:41:59Big drop kick.
00:42:01Great delivery on that drop kick.
00:42:03Hunter Gray still on his feet, though.
00:42:05Oh, big poop
00:42:07from Mason.
00:42:09Nice drop toe hold.
00:42:11Mason starting offense before he even gets inside the ring.
00:42:13Big elbow.
00:42:17Tag made. Quick tags made.
00:42:19You gotta love it.
00:42:21From the MXM collection.
00:42:23I think they're focusing on a lower back of Hunter Gray there.
00:42:25Irish with boxer arms.
00:42:27Oh, double back elbow.
00:42:29Oh, yeah.
00:42:31Let's get a replay.
00:42:33Of what?
00:42:35The back elbow?
00:42:37No, the pose.
00:42:39You want a replay of the pose.
00:42:41You're right.
00:42:43That's probably not the best use of resources.
00:42:45Mansoor up.
00:42:47Mansoor.
00:42:49Look at that. Nice moonsault there.
00:42:51Forearm connects.
00:42:53Oh, Mansoor.
00:42:55Oh, my goodness.
00:42:57All the body weight
00:42:59right there of Gray
00:43:01put into the throat area
00:43:03of Mansoor.
00:43:05Gray needs to make a tag.
00:43:07Don't ever tag me like that, everybody.
00:43:09Don't tag me like that.
00:43:11Ooh.
00:43:13Harvey's in here.
00:43:15Oh, my goodness.
00:43:17And Mansoor.
00:43:19Suplexing his teammate onto the opponent.
00:43:21One count there.
00:43:23Oh, look at that.
00:43:25Just choking Mansoor
00:43:27who's in a lot of trouble.
00:43:29Watch the face.
00:43:31No technicality behind that.
00:43:33Just choking to win.
00:43:35I don't think they're concerned about a breath or a face
00:43:37or anything.
00:43:39Mansoor's in a lot of trouble.
00:43:41Someone's gotta save him.
00:43:43They seem to be on the same page as well.
00:43:45And look at this.
00:43:47Right back in.
00:43:49Yeah.
00:43:51That barrel hug.
00:43:53Oh, look at that.
00:43:55The tip extended like a bowl constrictor
00:43:57around the rib cage of Mansoor.
00:43:59Look at this.
00:44:01The stoicism, the courage of Mansoor.
00:44:03Biting, biting.
00:44:05There's a lot of courage to bite.
00:44:07And don't disqualify him.
00:44:09Oh.
00:44:11He's fighting out of a horrific situation.
00:44:13Okay. Swing and a miss.
00:44:15Look at this.
00:44:17Back to his feet.
00:44:19He should not have brought Mansoor back to his feet.
00:44:21One of the more sure-footed individuals.
00:44:23Look at the touch tips instead.
00:44:25Look at the strength.
00:44:27Just ripping Mansoor.
00:44:29And crashing
00:44:31into each other.
00:44:33Tips tag.
00:44:35Here we go.
00:44:37It comes.
00:44:39Plays it through.
00:44:41A double clothesline of two beasts.
00:44:43Taking him down with a shoulder tackle.
00:44:45This massive man moves
00:44:47with precision.
00:44:49Oh.
00:44:51Beautiful side kick.
00:44:53Oh, and I don't know about that.
00:44:55I don't know about that.
00:44:57Uh-oh.
00:44:59I think he's stuck now.
00:45:01Oh, Mansoor.
00:45:03No, wait. Wait a minute.
00:45:05Are you kidding me?
00:45:07Chokeslam.
00:45:11Wow.
00:45:15MXM.
00:45:19Oh, yeah.
00:45:21Oh, yeah.
00:45:23All right.
00:45:25That's worth a replay, Rick and Bonnie.
00:45:27Look at that. Hold on. Hold on.
00:45:29Not yet. Not yet. Not yet.
00:45:31Come over here. Yeah, you're close. Come on.
00:45:33I think they're coming over here.
00:45:35Whoa, yeah.
00:45:39And look at these stallions run.
00:45:41Whoa. Whoa. Whoa.
00:45:43Double spin.
00:45:47That's how you regain control, Rick and Bonnie.
00:45:51That's something I'd watch a replay on.
00:45:53Wow.
00:45:55Mansoor tagged in.
00:45:57Pillars of Destiny in trouble now.
00:46:01Oh, I think they're calling for it.
00:46:03And this is going to be it, Caprice.
00:46:07Oh, she's got Xenophobe.
00:46:09That's enough.
00:46:11Oh, no.
00:46:13Wow.
00:46:15The winners of this match,
00:46:17MXM Collection.
00:46:21Are you okay?
00:46:23One of the hottest matches I've ever seen
00:46:25in Ring of Honor.
00:46:27It's hot down in Texas.
00:46:29And what a victory.
00:46:31I'm out of breath.
00:46:33Yeah, you are out of breath.
00:46:35Why they ain't standing in front
00:46:37and face the hardship?
00:46:39Stay facing the wrong way.
00:46:41Oh, yeah.
00:46:43It's all about the showmanship.
00:46:47You've seen
00:46:49Vogue, the Madonna video.
00:46:51You know what's going on.
00:46:53Oh, that's...
00:46:55Yeah.
00:46:57I like this.
00:46:59MXM Collection.
00:47:01Is his face glowing?
00:47:03Victorious here tonight, continuing
00:47:07their path
00:47:09here in ROH.
00:47:11What a win
00:47:13here tonight. Fans, the cameras caught up
00:47:15with pure champion Lee Moriarty after his victory
00:47:17last week.
00:47:19What did I say?
00:47:21What did I tell you?
00:47:23I said this was a new
00:47:25chapter in STP.
00:47:27I said this was a new chapter
00:47:29for Tyga-style Lee Moriarty.
00:47:31Action and Dreddy, you fought well.
00:47:33You fought hard. You even
00:47:35kind of impressed me.
00:47:37But you just ended up another victim
00:47:39in the era of Tyga-style.
00:47:41Like I said before,
00:47:43this is the beginning
00:47:45of the pure
00:47:47renaissance.
00:47:49Every loss has led
00:47:51to this. Every letdown has
00:47:53led to this. Every moment of doubt
00:47:55has led to this right now, making
00:47:57this man right here
00:47:59one of the greatest young technical
00:48:01wrestlers on the planet.
00:48:03The Ring of Honor pure champion. But I got
00:48:05to tell you something, man.
00:48:07I'm someone that leads by example.
00:48:09I am so proud
00:48:11of you. But in order
00:48:13to truly be the leader that I need
00:48:15to be, I need to get championship gold on my own.
00:48:17The only reason I'm not standing here right now
00:48:19as the Ring of Honor television champion
00:48:21is because my shoulder got messed up.
00:48:23With one arm
00:48:25I was knocking everybody
00:48:27out in that ring. But I tell you what,
00:48:29it will not be long before
00:48:31I'm back.
00:48:33So Mark Briscoe,
00:48:35hang onto my property
00:48:37for me. Because I'm coming
00:48:39to get what's mine.
00:48:41Rumble
00:48:43Badman. Rumble.
00:48:49Moriarty says we're in a pure renaissance.
00:48:51Pure action on the way.
00:48:55This match is set
00:48:57for a 15 minute time limit
00:48:59and it will be contested
00:49:01under pure wrestling rules.
00:49:03Participant number one
00:49:05is wrestling out of Johannesburg,
00:49:07South Africa, weighing 209 pounds.
00:49:09He's representing
00:49:11Spanish on next
00:49:13project, Angelico.
00:49:17Angelico,
00:49:20smoother than silk,
00:49:22cooler than the other side
00:49:24of the pillow.
00:49:26Cooler than a polar bear's toenails.
00:49:28Wish you were that smooth, don't you?
00:49:30I do, and if I was trained by Negro Navarro
00:49:32in Mexico at the Torremont Dojo
00:49:34like this man was, the same man that trained
00:49:36Okada, Ibushi, Rocky,
00:49:38Romero, if I could
00:49:40get him to this flow state,
00:49:42he's not afraid of anybody
00:49:44because he believes technical wrestling
00:49:46and his submission ability is able to beat
00:49:48anybody and he's so laid back.
00:49:50Caprice said he's completely stress-free.
00:49:52Did you get extra points with the judges
00:49:54if you hit those dance moves like he did?
00:49:56I don't know. I had to try, but I can't do it.
00:49:58I've tried. Trust me.
00:50:00I looked in the mirror and I wasn't doing what I thought I was doing.
00:50:02His opponent,
00:50:04wrestling out of San Francisco, California,
00:50:06weighing 196 pounds,
00:50:08Aaron
00:50:10Solo.
00:50:12What is that?
00:50:14Did he try to pay off
00:50:16the judges there?
00:50:18Yeah, whatever that was.
00:50:20A little suspicious.
00:50:22Aaron Solo
00:50:24trying to take all the variables out of the equation
00:50:26in this pure bout.
00:50:28Of course, the judges there, we'll get a view of shortly.
00:50:30We'll speak about them, but Aaron Solo
00:50:32has been
00:50:34tremendous
00:50:36since his return to Ring of Honor.
00:50:38Previous years, he'd been a television title contender
00:50:40teamed with Jushin Thunder Liger
00:50:42on Liger's final U.S. tour
00:50:44and here tonight
00:50:46with a great opportunity
00:50:48in the Pure Rules division
00:50:50facing a man who's very
00:50:52technically sound and a South African star.
00:50:54Yeah, I like Solo
00:50:56in the Pure Division, man. I definitely like him
00:50:58in Helico. We get to see some of the things
00:51:00that he can do, man. We've seen him flow
00:51:02in tag team matches and seen him in singles competitions
00:51:04as well, and the wrestling style
00:51:06that he brings to Ring of Honor
00:51:08is definitely unique, and that's what
00:51:10the Pure Division is for.
00:51:12Ring of Honor here too. We see our judges
00:51:14in the background there.
00:51:16We are represented tonight by former world champions
00:51:18Jerry Lin, Christopher Daniels, and the newest
00:51:20member of the board of directors, Paul White.
00:51:22You'll see a wrist lock here. Let's review
00:51:24the Pure Rules for maybe newer fans, Caprice,
00:51:26that may not be as familiar. You get
00:51:28three rope breaks. If you exhaust those, your opponent
00:51:30can be pinned inside between the ropes
00:51:32and you get one closed fist to the face.
00:51:34The second results in disqualification.
00:51:36You get a 20 count on the outside
00:51:38just as in all Ring of Honor matches
00:51:40Don't forget, outside interference
00:51:42will cause a disqualification and suspension
00:51:44for those that have orchestrated it.
00:51:46There's a wrist lock here.
00:51:48Some of the things that Angelico is doing
00:51:50with the wrist, just with the wrist,
00:51:52man, that flow state gets you
00:51:54flowing like water, but
00:51:56Aaron Solo bringing Angelico
00:51:58down, staying in control, keeping him
00:52:00grounded. And how about
00:52:02that pure title bout back at Death Before Dishonor
00:52:04by Lee Moriarty.
00:52:06Nice single leg there, inside pick
00:52:08and nice trap.
00:52:10Oh! Split leg.
00:52:12Has to go to the ropes.
00:52:14Not only
00:52:16does that hurt there.
00:52:18That is rope break number one used by Aaron Solo.
00:52:20Hurts the knees as well. First rope break.
00:52:22You only get three, and after the three
00:52:24you can start submitting them inside the ropes.
00:52:26Or pinning them. That's how Lee Moriarty captured
00:52:28that. Isn't it amazing? And he exhausted
00:52:30his own rope break so he could be in the ropes
00:52:32as well. Incredible. I don't know if it was happenstance
00:52:34or strategy. To me, that was
00:52:36one of the smartest plays I've seen in the period
00:52:38of vision, using the rules for his favor.
00:52:40And normally you see the champion do that,
00:52:42but the first time I saw the challenger do that,
00:52:44it shows me that Moriarty's gonna be a great champion.
00:52:46He's got great challenges here. Inside rope.
00:52:48Oh, and calf crusher here.
00:52:50Wow. And has
00:52:52that position, and Solo's gonna blow
00:52:54through his second rope break. Yeah.
00:52:56Might have to. Yeah, Solo's running through him fast
00:52:58and it's showing a lot for Angelico, man.
00:53:00That is rope break number two used by
00:53:02Aaron Solo. And the second
00:53:04rope break there. I'm impressed
00:53:06by Angelico. The strategy
00:53:08that he's using, just these locks, it's frustrating
00:53:10Solo.
00:53:12He's burnt
00:53:14through two of his rope breaks as Aaron Solo
00:53:16and very fast. As you see the judges
00:53:18of course, I gotta think Angelico's way ahead
00:53:20on points at this point.
00:53:22I don't think it matter what
00:53:24Solo hands the judges. It's not paying off.
00:53:26Paul waits a minute.
00:53:28Even if Solo
00:53:30is at a hundred bucks, what do you think he gave him there?
00:53:32Now you saying money? I say it might be money, man.
00:53:34You don't put a dollar sign
00:53:36to it. As Aaron Solo
00:53:38looking for the Irish whip instead.
00:53:40It's now Angelico. Angelico nice swoop
00:53:42to the leg. Got a press rolling through.
00:53:44Top out. Aaron Solo back to the feet.
00:53:46Now sweeping the leg of Solo. Solo with the cover here.
00:53:48Pressed out. Angelico. Both
00:53:50men back to their feet. Goodness!
00:53:52My goodness. That's just
00:53:54that's just. Oh, man.
00:53:56I don't know what this is, but
00:53:58yeah. Oh! You get one.
00:54:00You do. Aaron Solo
00:54:02has been issued a warning for the use of
00:54:04a close position by Angelico.
00:54:06Competitors in the past that that has turned
00:54:08the tide in these pure matches.
00:54:10Turned people off too. I think
00:54:12Solo got a pop for a pop.
00:54:14And Angelico popped him. Solo popped him.
00:54:16Nice snap suplex float over cover.
00:54:18Two. Nice press there by Solo
00:54:20staying close to the action there.
00:54:22Not gonna let Angelico breathe at all.
00:54:24Now
00:54:26knee to the spine. Back up to his
00:54:28feet. Angelico here. Shots to the midsection
00:54:30trying to break things up. Instead it's Angelico
00:54:32into the corner.
00:54:36Angelico with that Guaido dance, man. I'll tell you.
00:54:38Oh, look at that. Traditional South
00:54:40African.
00:54:42And into the sleeper here. Solo.
00:54:44Oh, my goodness. Solo
00:54:46is not abreast of the rules
00:54:48here. That's the third and final
00:54:50rope break for Aaron Solo.
00:54:52Solo has been so great in the TV division.
00:54:54Nice kick there. It's the kick.
00:54:56Two.
00:54:58Wow. Almost turned Angelico
00:55:00off there.
00:55:04What did he say? Everything he does with purpose?
00:55:06Yeah. I mean,
00:55:08that may be true. Maybe that close fist was part of the
00:55:10strategy here. Angelico really
00:55:12here trying to get the crowd
00:55:14behind him here in Arlington.
00:55:18And the shot to the midsection. This great crowd
00:55:20Eastport Stadium, Arlington on Angelico.
00:55:22Left jab there.
00:55:24Oh.
00:55:26He was riding that rhythm.
00:55:28Certainly was. Caught.
00:55:30Flipping through. Both man each
00:55:32with a close fist. Cover. Two.
00:55:34And this is where it gets dangerous, Caprice.
00:55:36Not only does Aaron Solo have to
00:55:38remember
00:55:40that there is three
00:55:42rope breaks against him now on Angelico
00:55:44and Aaron Solo have to remember, hey,
00:55:46if they hit another close fist, the match is over.
00:55:48Yeah, but I think the one that's more familiar
00:55:50with the rules right here is Angelico
00:55:52And Helico Angelico
00:55:54And look at this. Around it goes.
00:55:56And that pronunciation.
00:55:58The Queen's English Angelico
00:56:00and of course from his time
00:56:02in Lucha Libre on Helico.
00:56:04Up and over.
00:56:06And Helico.
00:56:08And there. Plants the kick.
00:56:10Dan Witt crawling through. Very smooth with his feet.
00:56:12Whoa. Look at this.
00:56:14Oh, standing grapevine.
00:56:16Grabbed the rope.
00:56:18He can't go anywhere.
00:56:20And the ankle lock is locked in.
00:56:22Go for the knee. That's it.
00:56:24Wow.
00:56:26And Helico.
00:56:28I like it.
00:56:30Wow.
00:56:32On Helico
00:56:34could have been quite a force
00:56:36in tag team action.
00:56:38That was impressive, man.
00:56:40He locked that lock on
00:56:42and Solo grabbed the ropes
00:56:44and Helico is kicking the ropes to make it
00:56:46even more dangerous.
00:56:49On Helico.
00:56:51Wow.
00:56:53I never considered on Helico with all the skin
00:56:55I should have. Came on me.
00:56:57On Helico could become a force here
00:56:59in the Pure Division. What a win!
