00:00:00Welcome everyone to Ring of Honor Wrestling, it's Ian Regavani and Kapris Kuhlman before
00:00:19he meets Chris Jericho at Wrestle Dream.
00:00:21Mark Prescott defends the Ring of Honor World Championship against former world champion
00:00:25Matt Damon.
00:00:26Tell you what, we got great tag team action for tonight as former pros now friends meet
00:00:31face to face for a top 5 contendership in the tag team division as the Outrunners take
00:00:35on the Infantry.
00:00:36And that's not all, former AEW Women's World Champion Nyla Rose, who has her eyes set on
00:00:41ROH gold, will be in action here tonight.
00:00:46The six-man tag team champions are improving ground action tonight, Dustin Rose and Navon
00:00:50Erickson take on the premier athletes Tony Nese, Ari Daivari and Mark Sterling and that's
00:00:56up next.
00:00:57The following is a proving ground match.
00:00:58Cease and desist.
00:00:59What?
00:01:00In order to get a proving grounds match tonight, the powers that be made me be in this match.
00:01:20But that's ok because the athletes have promised that no one will lay a finger on me.
00:01:33Why is Mark Sterling dressed like Mighty Mouse?
00:01:35So since I'm a team player, I need you all to play along.
00:01:42Hands in boys.
00:01:45When I say athletes, you say rule.
00:01:50Nothing else.
00:01:51All athletes.
00:01:52Well that didn't go the way you expected did it?
00:01:59It did.
00:02:00That didn't even rhyme.
00:02:01No.
00:02:02Proving ground here tonight.
00:02:03Premier athletes taking on the ROH World Six-Man Tag Team Champions.
00:02:13If they win, they earn a title shot.
00:02:16If they go the time limit, they also may earn a shot.
00:02:21I think Dustin Rose is standing at the end of a rainbow, but look at that, double champion
00:02:26here in Ring of Honor.
00:02:27One half of the world tag champs, but tonight representing one third of the ROH World Six-Man
00:02:32Champions.
00:02:33Their opponents, they're the Ring of Honor World Six-Man Tag Team Champions, Russ and
00:02:40Marshall, Vaughn Erick, and the natural, Dustin Rose.
00:02:47For nearly 50 years, the names Rose and Vaughn Erick have been synonymous with one another.
00:02:54Trailblazers, trendsetters, champions in professional wrestling caprice, and their legacies meet
00:03:00here at Ring of Honor.
00:03:01I'll tell you what, wrestling history is strong right here at Ring of Honor.
00:03:05I grew up watching world-class championship wrestling.
00:03:09I grew up watching NWA wrestling, and to see it all come full circle with this family man,
00:03:14it doesn't get any better than this, Rick Abadie.
00:03:17One of my very first memories was seeing Dustin Rose team with Ricky the Dragon Steamboat
00:03:21to win tag team gold.
00:03:26Mark Sterling came to save the day.
00:03:32Mark's counting on the other premier athletes to do the heavy lifting.
00:03:37For better or worse, he is a professional wrestler, but he's primarily been a manager
00:03:40most of the last year.
00:03:41I'll tell you what, man, they're going against the Six-Man Tag Team Champions, and so this
00:03:45is not an easy feat.
00:03:46This is not a warm-up match.
00:03:47This is a match for them to get the opportunity, so they're the underdogs in this match.
00:03:51Next counter-double tag here, as you see, Ari Daivari with Marshall Vaughn Erick, Marshall
00:03:56wrestling barefoot, much like his father, the great Kevin Vaughn Erick, who was in the
00:04:00house tonight.
00:04:01Kevin Vaughn Erick and Dustin Rose captured the World Six-Man titles.
00:04:07I don't think I've ever seen Marshall in his shoes, not even in the cafeteria.
00:04:10No!
00:04:11Nice shoulder tackle there, the big powerhouse.
00:04:14With due respect to Ross, I think Marshall's just a little bit stronger, I think Ross is
00:04:17a little more agile.
00:04:18Absolutely.
00:04:19I mean, technically sound on both of them, though.
00:04:22They can take these technical maneuvers, and they do them so well, and they have that fire,
00:04:27that energy like their Uncle Kerry tag made, where they can go from zero to 60 in a minute.
00:04:32Look at that, nice drop down.
00:04:33Wow!
00:04:34Big drop kick there!
00:04:35Beautiful!
00:04:36Cover!
00:04:37Just a one count.
00:04:38Good one!
00:04:39Here we go!
00:04:40Ross moves so smooth, man, getting right back where he needs to be, but Ari feels he has
00:04:44the upper hand.
00:04:45This is shortcuts, frustration.
00:04:46That's frustration right there, when you stop wrestling and go to the strikes, that means
00:04:50you're being out-wrestled.
00:04:51Oh, look at this.
00:04:52Uh-oh.
00:04:54Opportunist Mark Sterling, who has competed in professional wrestling matches before.
00:04:59Big body slam!
00:05:00I'm impressed with that.
00:05:01I'm impressed.
00:05:02Oh!
00:05:03Well, that's going to be the weakness, that fear, the right hand, and Sterling gets out
00:05:09of dodge.
00:05:10Calling for the time out.
00:05:13Ross able to keep control, and that's impressive right there, because Tony Nese is not an easy
00:05:16feat at all.
00:05:17Probably one of the most impressive athletes.
00:05:19Double drop kick!
00:05:21Shades of Ricky and Robert, cover, two shades of Kevin and Carey.
00:05:25Oh, man, I remember the triple drop kick from the Bon Erics.
00:05:29Yeah, Kevin Carey and David, what a trio they made.
00:05:34They used to tear up the Freebirds.
00:05:36Tag made, absolutely.
00:05:37And we're seeing Ross back in here, and Nese, he's going to fight his way out of this, Caprice.
00:05:43I tell you what, every time you can see the premier athletes get control, it's with the
00:05:47short upper hand shortcuts.
00:05:50Not afraid to fish hook, maybe go to the eyes, Irish hook now.
00:05:53Oh, Ross changes momentum, and Nese!
00:05:58Ross saw Ari on the other side and tried to put the brakes on, and Nese went for the cutoff
00:06:02anyway, and it worked.
00:06:03But I mean, you can tell that Ross was trying to prevent something from happening, but right
00:06:07now he's taking the worst of wear.
00:06:09It certainly is.
00:06:10All Marshall and Dustin Ross can do is watch, they try and interject, but it's Sterling
00:06:16now just choking out Ross.
00:06:20Underhanded tactics, we should have expected nothing less.
00:06:23I think the back of Mark Sterling's shirt, it says, uh, mama say, mama say, mama say.
00:06:30It should say ambulance chaser, should say cheater, and it could say number one contenders
00:06:36to the ROH World Six-Man titles if the premier athletes keep this up.
00:06:40All right, would that be a miscarriage of justice if that man ends up-
00:06:46I'll tell you what, if Dennis is dangerous now, just imagine, just imagine him having
00:06:51Josh Woods.
00:06:52Yeah, the former pure champ Josh Woods, tag made Josh Woods, who's declared his intentions
00:06:59to compete once again for championship gold in the singles division.
00:07:03Sterling now stomping away, as Sterling's proven to be an opportunist right here though,
00:07:08man.
00:07:09It's easy to get somebody when they're already down.
00:07:10Quick tag, smart tag there, and if Sterling is going to tag in and out like this, they
00:07:17have a functional third man, Caprice, and Neeson Daivari can defeat anybody.
00:07:24Sterling's picking his points, but his points are working with a nice, established knee
00:07:27right there to the jaw of Ross.
00:07:29Those knees can knock you out, you can see right now.
00:07:31Ross trying to make sure he's got his teeth in his mouth, and trying to get Dustin Rose,
00:07:39Dustin trying to get the crowd going here.
00:07:41The Irish whip, Ross into the corner, big boot, Daivari down, and out.
00:07:49I'll tell you what, Sterling's playing smart, man.
00:07:51He's got to keep his guy in the corner, hey, that's friendly fire right there.
00:07:55Certainly is, look at Ross trying to make the tag, and it's Neese holding onto the ankle,
00:08:02Ross, the outstretched arm, looking to make the tag, and Dustin ends it, Daivari gets
00:08:05Neese, up and late, tag is made to Dustin Rose.
00:08:08Here we go, the natural, whoa, yeah, hold on a second, Neeson Daivari hurt, yeah, Marcus
00:08:18the legal man, the bill toss.
00:08:24I didn't know Mark Sterling was religious.
00:08:27Clothesline, Daivari sent back down, and the natural.
00:08:31That's the first time I've ever seen a lawyer pray.
00:08:33Well, look at this, Dustin goes downstairs with the uppercut.
00:08:38And the powerslam.
00:08:40Whoa.
00:08:42Yes, sir.
00:08:44That's twice as nice.
00:08:46Textbook powerslam there from Rose.
00:08:48And, destroyer.
00:08:50Are you kidding me?
00:08:52Texas destroyer.
00:08:54Double champion and ring of honor, clear of the house for the career athletes of Mark
00:09:00Sterling.
00:09:02Wait a minute.
00:09:04Oh, Sterling barking up the wrong tree.
00:09:07Yeah, but it was just enough to break that finisher.
00:09:17They only have to last another three minutes by my count, Caprice.
00:09:19Yeah, Sterling's between a rock and a hard place, and it's all up on Erickson Road.
00:09:23Well, you know, rocks, golden globes, round things that might be kicked.
00:09:29Whoa.
00:09:31Dreams that may be shattered.
00:09:33The Monarchs have neutralized the premier athletes.
00:09:35Is this bad?
00:09:37I need to see this.
00:09:39The claw.
00:09:41Oh.
00:09:43Yes, sir.
00:09:45That was worth the price of admission right there.
00:09:47Shatter dreams.
00:09:49I want it.
00:09:51Oh, yeah.
00:09:53Rose.
00:09:55Sterling.
00:09:57Hooks the leg.
00:09:59That's it.
00:10:01The ring of honor.
00:10:03World six man tag team champion.
00:10:05The Von Erickson and Justin Rose.
00:10:07Tremendous victory.
00:10:09Yes, sir.
00:10:11Proving ground here tonight for Rose and the Von Erickson.
00:10:13The win streak continues.
00:10:15Thanks for playing, Mark Sterling.
00:10:17The six man champs vanquished the premier athletes here tonight.
00:10:19I'll tell you what.
00:10:21Look at those six man tag titles.
00:10:23They look like they're going to be there for a long time.
00:10:25The Von Erickson and Rose together.
00:10:27This is a lifetime lineage right here.
00:10:29This is ring of honor.
00:10:31Two family legacies intertwined.
00:10:33Writing the next chapter for the Von Erickson and Rose.

00:13:42It's rare for a woman like Katie
00:13:44to match somebody in the ring with the strength
00:13:47of Nyla Rose.
00:13:49You can tell that Katie's not used to it.

00:13:53Into the corner,
00:13:55and knockout!

00:14:34and you know what?
00:14:36Caprice, Nyla has her eyes on championship gold.
00:14:40I understand that Lexi Nair is standing by
00:14:42with the Ring of Honor
00:14:45Women's World Champion Athena
00:14:47and her minion, Millie Starks.
00:14:51Ladies and gentlemen,
00:14:53we are having a very special emergency,
00:14:55because MIT
00:14:57is planning
00:14:59a celebration for our
00:15:01minion Overlord as the longest
00:15:03reigning champion in all of Ring of Honor history.
00:15:05I mean, the champions of champions.
00:15:07I'm thinking we get Ja Rule
00:15:09or Pitbull!
00:15:11And maybe Balloons!
00:15:13And we are going to require
00:15:15everyone to attend.
00:15:17I've been talking to the board of directors,
00:15:19the entire women's locker room has to be there.
00:15:21We're going to have cupcakes, we're going to have whiskey,
00:15:23we're going to have punch,
00:15:25and you have to get the kittens.
00:15:27But we have to make sure we have all the boxes,
00:15:29the cat towers, all that.
00:15:33What's your problem?
00:15:35What's my problem?
00:15:37No, no, Billie, I'm sick and tired of this.
00:15:39Sure, okay, fine.
00:15:42You had to deal with Abaddon.
00:15:44But I wouldn't put you in a situation if you couldn't handle it.
00:15:46So stop moping!
00:15:48This is my day, girl!
00:15:50It's about me and everything I've accomplished.
00:15:52It's about time I finally get my flowers.
00:15:54And the last thing I need, Billie,
00:15:56is for you to have a problem.
00:15:58And honestly, I get it.
00:16:00You're jealous of Lexi, you're jealous of me,
00:16:02you lost my TV championship.
00:16:04I get it, Billie.
00:16:06But if you need to talk,
00:16:08we are here for you.
00:16:11And the first step to getting over a problem
00:16:13is admitting you have one.
00:16:15I don't have a problem!
00:16:17You're the problem!
00:16:19What do you not understand about this?
00:16:21You left me!
00:16:23I have your back!
00:16:25Did you have my back when Abaddon showed up for the first time?
00:16:27Nope.
00:16:29Did you have my back
00:16:31at the pay-per-view
00:16:33where Lexi had to step in, Billie?
00:16:35Nope.
00:16:37No, you didn't!
00:16:40Look, I'm not doing this today, buddy.
00:16:42I'm not.
00:16:44Either you can be there to celebrate my day
00:16:46after all the hard work that me and Lexi
00:16:48put into MIT
00:16:50and I put into this championship reign,
00:16:52or you can just stay home.
00:16:54Okay.
00:17:01Go.
00:17:03Go deal with her.
00:17:05Please, please go deal with her, Lexi.
00:17:07Why is it always drama
00:17:09with these kids?
00:17:25Tag team action
00:17:27on the way here tonight!
00:17:29It's a family reunion!
00:17:31And here comes the beef.
00:17:33This is a tag team bout.
00:17:36Introducing first, Anthony Henry
00:17:38and his tag team partner,
00:17:40his second cousin by marriage,
00:17:42Beef!
00:17:44Oh, look at that!
00:17:46They made it official!
00:17:48The family lineage!
00:17:50That was ultra-specific right there.
00:17:52No doubt about it.
00:17:54I understand that's at the request of Anthony Henry.
00:17:56And their opponents, the team of Anthony Katina
00:17:58and Wes Barkley.
00:18:00Well, Anthony Katina,
00:18:02Wes Barkley,
00:18:05getting a shot here.
00:18:07Debuting here

00:18:11And Beef
00:18:13and Anthony Henry,
00:18:15they found out they're second cousins,
00:18:17of course, in Arlington.
00:18:19Beef made his way down to the ring.
00:18:21He was exuberant, joyful.
00:18:23Yeah, I think he wakes up like this.
00:18:25He doesn't even need caffeine.
00:18:27I don't know what kind of beef he's eating,
00:18:29but he never makes him lazy.
00:18:31Beef puts me to sleep.
00:18:34Well, not this beef.
00:18:36This beef is a ball of energy.
00:18:38Right.
00:18:40That's Bryce Remsburg getting order in the house here tonight.

00:19:02exchanging.
00:19:04And it is Anthony Henry with a nice side headlock
00:19:06and into the corner.
00:19:08Tag made.
00:19:10They got great chemistry, Caprice.
00:19:12I tell you what, no matter what you see,
00:19:14the chemistry's gonna be right with Anthony Henry.
00:19:16Great wrist lock.
00:19:18My God.
00:19:20That's the biggest lute dance press.
00:19:22You know what, though?
00:19:24Beef has been on target,
00:19:26on point.
00:19:28Everything Beef does right here,
00:19:31right to the turnbuckle.
00:19:33Nothing's under that turnbuckle except for metal.
00:19:35So many things that Beef does well.
00:19:37You can tell that this is not his first match.
00:19:39He's very well put together in the ring.
00:19:41And a tag made.
00:19:43Katina is in.
00:19:45Yeah, he's got his back turned,
00:19:47gave too much time here.
00:19:51A sizable individual.
00:19:57An interesting fashion sense.
00:20:00He matches.
00:20:02I tell you what,
00:20:04that's a lot of confidence right there by Katina.
00:20:06What a beautiful dropkick by Beef.
00:20:08Incredible.
00:20:10Beef
00:20:12getting up for that one.
00:20:14And these quick tags, Caprice, they got something here.
00:20:16Yeah, sometimes you can't deny the
00:20:18chemistry right here.
00:20:20Nice spin wheel kick by Anthony Henry.
00:20:22Looking to continue this undefeated streak.
00:20:24You know, I caught up with Jadie Drake
00:20:26over the phone this past weekend.
00:20:29And he had some interesting things to say
00:20:31about this relationship.
00:20:33I think some of the thoughts might surprise you, Caprice.
00:20:37Well, I'm going to wait for him to tell his story on that.
00:20:39OK.
00:20:41I want it to come from the source himself.
00:20:43We're inquiring minds wanting to know.
00:20:45I'm inquiring minds wanting to know.
00:20:47That's right.
00:20:49I think Beef wants to know.
00:20:51Beautiful neckbreaker there.
00:20:55On what has been a target for Anthony Henry.
00:20:57A target for Anthony Henry.
00:20:59Opponents tag made.
00:21:01Wes Barkley back in.
00:21:03Barkley.
00:21:05Barkley with a smart move trying to clean house early.
00:21:07Knocking Beef down.
00:21:09Coming in with his clothes on.
00:21:11Effective spin wheel kick here to Enzi.
00:21:13And Barkley has been a stalwart in AIW
00:21:15here in western Pennsylvania
00:21:17and in eastern Ohio.
00:21:19Irish whip.
00:21:21Wow.
00:21:23That's the timing of Henry right there.
00:21:26Absolutely.
00:21:28Great way to break that up.
00:21:32Oh, wait a minute.
00:21:34Beef, he's getting fired up.
00:21:36That's his cousin.
00:21:38That's Beef's cousin.
00:21:40And I would do the same for you, Caprice.
00:21:42I tell you what, man.
00:21:44Imagine these family reunions right here.
00:21:52I want to know who's married.
00:21:55They picked the perfect match.
00:21:57Whether it's the marriage or the second cousins.
00:21:59Henry trying to keep things together.
00:22:01Level-headed.
00:22:03But he's trying to keep Beef.
00:22:05You know, Beef has ABHD.
00:22:07What's that?
00:22:09Alternative beef disorder.
00:22:11Something like that.
00:22:13I had to put it all together.
00:22:15And in sync.
00:22:17In stereo.
00:22:19Amazing.
00:22:21You know what?
00:22:23Drop your stakes.
00:22:25Drop your what?
00:22:27These guys wrestle like they're connected by blood.
00:22:29Not marriage.
00:22:31Double stomp.
00:22:33Double stomp.
00:22:35That might be enough.
00:22:37Single down the ring.
00:22:39Two and slop it up.
00:22:41The winners of this match.
00:22:43The team of Anthony Henry and his cousin.
00:22:45Beef.
00:22:47They had the same haircut too.
00:22:49That was a big rare cut of meat with water dumped all over it.
00:22:52Sloppy stakes on the menu.
00:22:54And you're right.
00:22:56They do.
00:22:58I think they're a lot more similar than Anthony Henry
00:23:00initially believed them to be.
00:23:02They're undefeated, Caprice.
00:23:04Yeah.
00:23:06You can't deny that.
00:23:08And the chemistry continues to get better every time you see
00:23:10them.
00:23:12Well, a big tag team win for Henry and Beef.
00:23:14Tag team action rolls on in our next match.
00:23:16But right now, we celebrate the win between these two.
00:23:19But right now, we celebrate the win between these two.
00:23:21Second cousins by marriage.

00:24:24Black and yellow.
00:24:26Black and yellow.

00:24:30The infantry.
00:24:32You see the captain.
00:24:34Shawn Dean on the left.
00:24:36Charlie Bravo now up front.
00:24:38The infantry stacking wins.
00:24:40I'll tell you what.
00:24:42It shocked me.
00:24:44It shocked the world when they came to the aid of their
00:24:46opponents here tonight.
00:24:48Yeah.
00:24:50Preventing a beat down from the Iron Savages.
00:24:52The infantry and their opponents are seemingly on the same page.
00:24:54But both teams have the common goal of the ROH tag team.
00:24:56That's the way it is here in the tag team division.
00:24:58Everybody wants to stay in the top five.
00:25:00And sometimes you have to face your friends to do it.
00:25:02Especially if your friends are the youngest men alive.
00:25:04And their opponents.
00:25:06Turbo Bison.
00:25:08And their opponents.
00:25:10Especially if your friends are the youngest men alive.
00:25:12And their opponents.
00:25:14Turbo Floyd.
00:25:16Trude Magnum.
00:25:18The Outrunners.
00:25:20The youngest men alive.
00:25:22Have arrived in the Steel City.
00:25:24Trude Magnum.

00:25:48And AEW goes to Caprice.
00:25:50And it's easy to understand why.
00:25:52Absolutely.
00:25:54Look at this pandemonium.
00:25:56In the Pittsburgh arena right now.
00:25:58And the reason why is the Outrunners.
00:26:00They are tanned and vascular.
00:26:02They are tanned and vascular.

00:26:06They were the 1986 rookies of the year.

00:30:42Here we go.
00:30:44Here we go.
00:30:46Audible
00:30:48moment of frustration as
00:30:50Bravo is back in.
00:30:52Sometimes that frustration
00:30:54will catch you off guard.
00:30:56When you're in there, you stop wrestling, you start fighting.
00:30:58The wrestlers are going to win.
00:31:02And if Truth Madden can get itself back together
00:31:04they can continue to wrestle.
00:31:06If Bravo loses his head, they're going to lose this match.
00:31:08Nice snap there.
00:31:10Bravo, float over.
00:31:12Two count there.
00:31:14And a great cover by Bravo.
00:31:16Quick tags. Like what the infantry is doing here.
00:31:18They got the advantage.
00:31:20They got control and they are unrelenting here.
00:31:24A twist arm there.
00:31:26Even though that tag in was not boot camp.
00:31:28Sometimes that's a set up to see how much
00:31:30your opponent is softening up
00:31:32before you can lay in a move like boot camp.
00:31:38And look at this. It's Truth Madden
00:31:40trying to fight out of the corner.
00:31:42Big slam.
00:31:44Dean cut him off immediately.
00:31:48And the crowd
00:31:50they wanted to see that tag
00:31:52instead of beautiful elbow drop.
00:31:54I love these covers
00:31:56by the captain here, Caprice.
00:31:58Cover right straight to the
00:32:00neck vise here. Cutting it in deep.
00:32:02Cutting off the wind of Truth Madden.
00:32:04Madden's been there for a long time.
00:32:06Desperately needs the tag.
00:32:08And
00:32:10trying to fight through to get
00:32:12to Turbo Floyd as Truth Madden
00:32:14with a jaw breaker.
00:32:16And that breaks the croquant
00:32:18and now
00:32:20with a scissor kick in the neutral corner
00:32:22looking for Turbo Floyd as Truth Madden.
00:32:24In comes
00:32:26Dean and Noah's home.
00:32:28In the opposite corner.
00:32:30Both infantry.
00:32:32But easy to tag.
00:32:34Tag is made.
00:32:36In comes
00:32:38Turbo Floyd. Big right.
00:32:40Sending the infantry down.
00:32:42This is
00:32:44to the boobs.
00:32:46Whoa.
00:32:48And big body slam.
00:32:52Turbo again.
00:32:58Big time body slam.
00:33:00Is infinity slam.
00:33:02They just hit the
00:33:04infinity button on the NES.
00:33:08Double bicep.
00:33:10The striation. The vascularity.
00:33:12The passion of the outrunners.
00:33:14You!
00:33:16Here comes Carly Bravo.
00:33:18Wait a minute. Big boot.
00:33:20DDT. Bravo.
00:33:22Plants Turbo Floyd.
00:33:24They're calling for it.
00:33:26They're calling for it.
00:33:28Night night.
00:33:30Off the ropes.
00:33:32Truth Madden.
00:33:34Madden with the save.
00:33:36Turbo. Wait a minute.
00:33:38Total recall.
00:33:40Leg hug.
00:33:42The outrunners get there.
00:33:46Here are your winners.
00:33:48The outrunners.
00:33:50The only mistake here
00:33:52is that I can see the infantry
00:33:54calling for boot camp.
00:33:56Truth Madden harder on the outside.
00:33:58Total recall.
00:34:00Hit with perfection.
00:34:02Outrunners, your winners.
00:34:04The outrunners stayed within themselves.
00:34:06They had a game plan.
00:34:08They never deviated.
00:34:10They knew what was working.
00:34:12They delivered a victory here tonight.
00:34:14Climbing up the tag.
00:34:16This is what it's all about.
00:34:18Look at Turbo Floyd.
00:34:20Truth Madden. Get it ready.
00:34:22The power behind this.
00:34:24It's going to rock the core of Pittsburgh.
00:34:26There it is.
00:34:32Where are they going?
00:34:38I thought they were going to sell it.
00:34:40I'm thinking the same thing.
00:34:42Sometimes that frustration can catch you.
00:34:46It's tough to lose.
00:34:48Especially with two great teams.
00:34:50Wait a minute.
00:34:52Oh, yeah!
00:34:56Caught up with Beef
00:34:58and Anthony Henry, second cousin by marriage.
00:35:02Hey, say, cameraman, is that on?
00:35:04I'm going to film a tag team promo with my cousin.
00:35:06Come over here. Hey, cousin!
00:35:08Hey, man, I got us a camera.
00:35:10We're going to film ourselves a tag team promo.
00:35:12What are you talking about?
00:35:14Hey, cousin, you hear what I'm saying?
00:35:16We're going to do it just like that.
00:35:18I'm ready. I'm sweating.
00:35:20We're not a tag team?
00:35:22Cousin, we are 3-0 on Ring of Honor.
00:35:24No, listen to me now, okay?
00:35:26I am in a tag team with J.D. Drake.
00:35:28We're known as the Work Horsemen.
00:35:30You and I are not a tag team at all.
00:35:32Yeah, you know what?
00:35:34You brought him up.
00:35:36Say, how is J.D. doing, man?
00:35:38How's J.D.?
00:35:40Come on, where am I going to get to meet J.D.?
00:35:42You know what?
00:35:44Give me J.D.'s number right now.
00:35:46What's it going to take, Anthony,
00:35:48No.
00:35:50No?
00:35:52Yeah, no.
00:35:54Okay, let me ask you one more question before you get out here.
00:35:56I'm trying to go.
00:35:58Listen, what are the chances a guy like you
00:36:00would give a guy like Beef
00:36:02J.D.'s phone number?
00:36:04What are the chances?
00:36:06Yeah, what are the chances?
00:36:08Not very good.
00:36:10Like one in a hundred?
00:36:12How about more like, I don't know,
00:36:14maybe one in a million?
00:36:16One in a million?
00:36:26So you're saying
00:36:28there's a chance?
00:36:30Yeah!
00:36:32And one in a million?
00:36:34And that one in a million
00:36:36is Beef, baby!
00:36:38Yeah!
00:36:40Cousin, wait up, I'm coming!
00:36:42And fans, as these cousins celebrate,
00:36:44we head toward a celebration of professional wrestling
00:36:46one week from Saturday.
00:36:48AEW Wrestle Dream
00:36:50is a celebration of professional wrestling.
00:36:52And here at Ring of Honor, we present one of the greatest
00:36:54Ring of Honor bouts of all time.
00:36:56Japanese legend, Kenta Kobashi,
00:36:58went one-on-one with Samoa Joe
00:37:00on October 1st, 2005.
00:37:06And the winner of our contest
00:37:08is Beef J.D.!
00:37:14It was a one-on-one
00:37:16with Suzy
00:37:18and Tyler
00:37:20and it is presented by
00:37:22Pro Wrestling NOAH.
00:37:24Please welcome to the stage,
00:37:26Anne Marino!
00:37:28Well fans, this is a real treat here this week
00:37:30on Ring of Honor.
00:37:32We take a trip to the past,
00:37:34just about 19 years ago to the day
00:37:36we had one of the greatest
00:37:38matches not only in Ring of Honor history,
00:37:40but a titanic clash.
00:37:42One of the
00:37:44greatest matches of all time.
00:37:46Samoa Joe
00:37:48enters
00:37:50in New York City
00:37:52at the Grand Ballroom at the
00:37:54New Yorker Hotel Caprice.
00:37:56And by this point, Joe has already
00:37:58had his record-setting
00:38:00Ring of Honor World Championship
00:38:02reign that has only
00:38:04recently been eclipsed by
00:38:06Athena.
00:38:08You go back in time here, Rick Abani, I remember
00:38:10watching Ring of Honor
00:38:12and seeing these stars
00:38:14come up. Guys, you've never heard of,
00:38:16but they were doing a style
00:38:18that people fell in love with, that we were trading
00:38:20videotapes to see these guys from Japan
00:38:22fight each other.
00:38:24And now they're coming to America
00:38:26to fight these stars that we've learned to love,
00:38:28that teenagers
00:38:30and men will come and panic all across
00:38:32the world to come watch
00:38:34Samoa Joe, AJ Styles,
00:38:36and likewise, Bryan Danielson
00:38:38to make a name
00:38:40for themselves. And these
00:38:42Japan stars found out about it
00:38:44and came to American Soul.
00:38:46And in the ring with Samoa Joe,
00:38:48the legendary Bobby
00:38:50Cruz, former senior official
00:38:52Todd Sinclair,
00:38:54and
00:38:56as we hear this crowd
00:38:58reaction,
00:39:00there was a fear,
00:39:02there was a worry from this
00:39:04man who had already established himself
00:39:06for over 15 years
00:39:08in Japan, first in all Japan,
00:39:10then in NOAH. He was worried
00:39:12that no one in the New Yorker hotel
00:39:14would know who he is. He was worried that they
00:39:16would treat him as a foreign villain.
00:39:18He was worried
00:39:20that they simply maybe
00:39:22wouldn't care.
00:39:24And he was blindsided
00:39:26in the best way possible with this reaction.
00:39:30Yeah, in his eyes,
00:39:32he thought he was forgot about. In their
00:39:34eyes, he is a walking
00:39:36legend.
00:39:42And Kenta Kabashi,
00:39:46whose
00:39:48accolades,
00:39:50I don't know that we have enough time. I know how long
00:39:52this match goes.
00:39:54But Kabashi,
00:39:58say he was trained by Dory Folk
00:40:00Jr., Giant
00:40:02Baba, just to
00:40:04say the least.
00:40:06And by this time, three times over,
00:40:08triple crown champion in all Japan.
00:40:10He had just come off a nearly
00:40:12two year reign as
00:40:14the GHC champion. We're going to take it to
00:40:16Bobby Crews for our introductions
00:40:20in one of Bobby's most memorable matches.
00:40:28I want a close up of Bobby Crews.
00:40:32Bobby Crews.
00:40:46Joe was ready for this one. This was a test
00:40:48to get him to that next level.
00:40:50Joe is ready and the
00:40:52Ring of Honor crowd believes in Joe.
00:40:54He has earned their respect
00:40:56as a hard-hitting
00:40:58man.
00:41:02Here is your man.
00:41:10Weighing 260 pounds,
00:41:12Kabashi
00:41:16Kabashi.
00:41:18Look at that.
00:41:20That's the love. That's the love
00:41:22we remember right there.
00:41:24Incredible.
00:41:26Kabashi.
00:41:28Kabashi.
00:41:30Kabashi.
00:41:32And fans, I want to point one thing out.
00:41:34If you've never seen this match before,
00:41:36watch the crowd. There's veteran
00:41:38photographer Mary-Kate Anthony on the outside.
00:41:40As this match
00:41:42goes on,
00:41:44the crowd doesn't sit down, Caprice.
00:41:46They know they're about to see something special.
00:41:48With anticipation,
00:41:50the name of the game,
00:41:52you have somebody, and at this time
00:41:54he's probably been wrestling six, seven years,
00:41:56has a great name for himself,
00:41:58and you wonder. It's almost like taking a young star,
00:42:00putting him up against Michael Jordan
00:42:02that has a lot of promise.
00:42:06And you see it in real life because Kabashi
00:42:08is still in great condition.
00:42:10As we see,
00:42:12looking for the Coat of Honor.
00:42:14Coat of Honor in here, too.
00:42:16And we are off.
00:42:18Now, fans, every once in a while, you will see
00:42:20as the bell is rung
00:42:22by Todd Sinclair, every once
00:42:24in a while, you'll get a glimpse
00:42:26into the balcony
00:42:28of the New Yorker Hotel.
00:42:30I want you to keep your eyes open
00:42:32because this was a locker room sellout.
00:42:34Also on this card, oh!
00:42:36There you see the balcony I'm talking about.
00:42:38Also on this card, Nigel McGinnis
00:42:40versus Jay Lethal.
00:42:42Both of those men tried
00:42:44their best not to be seen, but we're watching
00:42:46from the balcony.
00:42:48Former ROH World Television Champion,
00:42:50Nigel McGinnis is very visible at one point.
00:42:54So this was a match that not only
00:42:56were the fans anticipating,
00:42:58but everyone on the Ring of Honor card
00:43:00that night.
00:43:02Including Homicide,
00:43:04Roderick Strong, the late great Jimmy Rave.
00:43:06We're trying to get a glimpse of this match.
00:43:08Christopher Daniels.
00:43:10Whoa! Yeah.
00:43:12Too hard hitting, guys.
00:43:14If I could bring this to date, it would almost be
00:43:16something like Mike Tyson versus George Foreman.
00:43:20Samoa Joe being
00:43:22a young Mike Tyson
00:43:24and Kenta being a
00:43:26George Foreman.
00:43:28Yeah, Kabashi
00:43:30and
00:43:32the Colorado will tie up.
00:43:34I want to draw attention to the knees
00:43:36of Kenta Kabashi. Very famously
00:43:38had defeated
00:43:40Misawa.
00:43:44God!
00:43:46Had defeated Misawa
00:43:48for that GHC
00:43:50Championship, but did so
00:43:52with three layers of tape
00:43:54on the knees.
00:43:56And this feeling out process now goes
00:43:58to the Greco-Roman knuckle lock.
00:44:02So impressive here.
00:44:04Is the crowd impressed with Joe
00:44:06standing toe-to-toe with this legend?
00:44:08You can hear the crowd.
00:44:10You can almost feel it.
00:44:12Wow!
00:44:14Northern Lights.
00:44:16Shoulder tackle.
00:44:18Sending Kabashi down.
00:44:20And maybe caught off guard.
00:44:22Wait a minute. Joe's going to the outside.
00:44:24Big baseball slide.
00:44:26Joe's not finished.
00:44:28Off the ropes.
00:44:30It's Samoa Joe!
00:44:38It's one thing
00:44:40for people to think you're tough.
00:44:42It's another thing to prove it.
00:44:44It's one of the matches that made Samoa Joe
00:44:46who he is.
00:44:50This match vital to the legacy
00:44:52and DNA of both Samoa Joe and Ring of Honor.
00:44:54That dive to the outside
00:44:56was shown for years.
00:44:58And video montages.
00:45:00And there's Jay Lethal
00:45:02right there on the outside. At this point,
00:45:04he was actually seconding
00:45:06Samoa Joe
00:45:08as a younger wrestler training
00:45:10under Joe. Cover.
00:45:12Joe's protégé.
00:45:14Absolutely. He had faced
00:45:16Nigel McGuinness earlier in the night for the pure championship.
00:45:20Prince Nana is visible
00:45:22at one point during this match as well for the Keen Eye fans.
00:45:24Just to let you know
00:45:26who Kenji Kabashi is, man.
00:45:28He trained with the likes of the Rogue Warriors.
00:45:32Same workout regimen.
00:45:34Dr. Death cover, too?
00:45:36Yeah. Dr. Death Steve Williams.
00:45:38Come on, Rick Abani. That's why I love you, man.
00:45:42Like I said, if we were to
00:45:44elucidate on
00:45:46the accomplishments of either men, we might be here
00:45:48for an additional hour or two.
00:45:50Kabashi has a win over Terry Gordy.
00:45:52Terry Bam Bam Gordy.
00:45:54And his legacy extended
00:45:56well into the 2000s after
00:45:58defeating Cancer shortly after this match.
00:46:00Oh, look at this. Nice
00:46:02eastern stretch style move here.
00:46:04Shortly after this bout,
00:46:06diagnosed with cancer,
00:46:08defeated Cancer, came back stronger than ever.
00:46:10Back on the ropes.
00:46:14Both men still doing quite well.
00:46:16Kenta Kabashi enjoying
00:46:18retirement in 2024, as we call this.
00:46:20Joe at the top of his game.
00:46:22Former AEW World Champion.
00:46:24AEW World Champion
00:46:26and movie star. Yes.
00:46:28Wow. Kabashi
00:46:30just absorbing those chops, and that's
00:46:32that old Japan background that we talked about.
00:46:34Yeah, that's the real strong
00:46:36style right here when you're chopping
00:46:38somebody and it's waking them up. Kabashi
00:46:40waking up. Samoa Joe not relented,
00:46:42but listen to this. Yeah.
00:46:44That pop. And this
00:46:46is King's Row that Kenta
00:46:48Kabashi's going down right now. Wow, the
00:46:50sweat. You can see the sweat pouring
00:46:52off. It's floating off the
00:46:54chest of Samoa Joe.
00:46:56Oh, yeah.
00:47:02The thunder cracked
00:47:04on the skull of Kabashi.
00:47:08The look in Samoa Joe's eyes
00:47:10is a confidence that is boiling up
00:47:12when you realize you're as
00:47:14bad as you think you are.
00:47:18Sometimes that's scary to look in the mirror
00:47:20and have that realization when you have that burst
00:47:22of confidence.
00:47:24Sometimes confidence is what you
00:47:26need.
00:47:28Especially in the eyes of danger.
00:47:32Kabashi, look at this.
00:47:34Big time chops across the chest.
00:47:36Oh, Joe.
00:47:38Retaliating those football punts.
00:47:42Wow. My goodness.
00:47:46Wow.
00:47:48Driving the knees
00:47:50through the skull.
00:47:56And this has just been such an evenly
00:47:58fought war at this point.
00:48:00Joe emptying out what he
00:48:02had left.
00:48:06And this is what it's
00:48:08all about.
00:48:10Getting to realize that he's in a real
00:48:12fight.
00:48:14And lethal
00:48:16looking on to the outside as
00:48:18Joe drives the knee.
00:48:20It's amazing to think where Jay Lethal's career
00:48:22would go most days ever total
00:48:24as world champion.
00:48:26Kabashi going to the
00:48:28outside trying to get some breath
00:48:30but Samoa not letting it happen.
00:48:32And Joe
00:48:34this is where things
00:48:36get violent for those watching
00:48:38for the first time.
00:48:40Get the Kabashi in the
00:48:42corner.
00:48:44The New Yorker on their feet.
00:48:46The Ring of Honor locker room in the balcony.
00:48:54Breaking the
00:48:56barricade.
00:48:58Are you up in the balcony?
00:49:00Caprice I sadly turned
00:49:02down a ticket. One of my first ever
00:49:04cable TV appearances
00:49:06aired this night. I went back
00:49:08to my dorm at NYU. I
00:49:10tried to impress some of the folks I was living
00:49:12with. It did not work.
00:49:14And sadly I should have just came to this amazing
00:49:16match.
00:49:18I couldn't wait without knowing that.
00:49:20Come on Joe.
00:49:22One of my biggest regrets I've ever had.
00:49:24Big chop there.
00:49:26Wow.
00:49:28Tell you what man
00:49:30it's the armor. The damage
00:49:32in the armor of a knight that
00:49:34makes the knight who he is.
00:49:36And you can see the making of Samoa
00:49:38Joe.
00:49:44Seeing the pose that he's faced.
00:49:46The legends that
00:49:48he's faced.
00:49:50The legends of the
00:49:52the legends that he
00:49:54stood apart from.
00:49:56This is like Colby
00:49:58Bryant guarding Michael Jordan.
00:50:00This is like Yarmir
00:50:02Yager coming into the NHL trying to play
00:50:04heads up with Wayne Gretzky.
00:50:06They are clearly
00:50:08going to be legends in their own right.
00:50:10No one disputes that. But this is
00:50:12the measuring stick. The test of
00:50:14God.
00:50:16You can see right there the respect
00:50:18of the legend of the
00:50:20veteran realizing how much of a fight he's
00:50:22in. Resorting to
00:50:24a DDT on the outside of the ring.
00:50:28And one person I don't envy
00:50:30is Todd Sinclair.
00:50:32Who has to make sense of this
00:50:34try and essentially not
00:50:36anger the fans. The fans are there to see this match.
00:50:38He's had an opportunity
00:50:40to maybe throw this out for count out of
00:50:42disqualification. But he knows that
00:50:44he is not the focal point of this match.
00:50:46That the fans want to see a winner.
00:50:48A riot would break out
00:50:50if Todd Sinclair
00:50:52ended the match on something like that.
00:50:56And now Kabashi
00:50:58who controls the pace so well
00:51:00putting all of his body weight on the neck of Samojo
00:51:02and his front face lock.
00:51:04Veteran move here trying to wear down
00:51:06your opponent. Put your body
00:51:08weight on there.
00:51:10And everything is so deliberate
00:51:12and precise and
00:51:14perfect from Kabashi.
00:51:16It's got to be going through Joe's head right now.
00:51:18Oh! And maybe
00:51:20from that burst of confidence
00:51:22Caprice down to an adrenaline dump. He's got to be wondering
00:51:24what he got himself into. Well here's the deal
00:51:26you got a veteran going against a young guy
00:51:28and the veteran is using a game plan
00:51:30and the young guy is realizing
00:51:32that he is being
00:51:34manipulated by a methodical
00:51:36juggernaut. Someone that has a
00:51:38game plan and is putting it in play
00:51:40and it's working.
00:51:42Wow!
00:51:44And how rarely
00:51:46does Joe leave his feet.
00:51:48Oh!
00:51:52They say Kabashi 260
00:51:54pounds. Look at this man
00:51:56Rukabani. Yeah!
00:51:58Reminiscent of his battles
00:52:00with Jun Akiyama. Oh!
00:52:02And now going for the cover.
00:52:04Two! And correct me
00:52:06if I'm wrong that was the first attempt at a cover in the night
00:52:08maybe a heat check.
00:52:10Right back to
00:52:12front chin lock.
00:52:14Joe down. Front face lock.
00:52:18And it's going to be important here
00:52:20to cut off
00:52:22the blood and oxygen.
00:52:24A lot of times veterans do that
00:52:26because they're running out of gas
00:52:28and they're trying to make sure their opponent
00:52:30is running out of gas too. Especially someone that's
00:52:32young up and coming and has a lot of energy
00:52:34that's unpredictable at this moment.
00:52:36And like we said
00:52:38Masawa has those knees taped up
00:52:40pretty well. There's an account from
00:52:42Samoa Joe. He said publicly
00:52:44he asked if
00:52:46Kabashi would be
00:52:48cleared to wrestle.
00:52:50It took three layers of tape. Oh goodness!
00:52:52Around the knees.
00:52:54You can see it after the suplex there.
00:52:56Kabashi writhing in pain.
00:52:58He hikes those
00:53:00tights up Caprice
00:53:02to ensure that his back is supported
00:53:04especially after that international travel.
00:53:06Oh God! Across the
00:53:08collarbone.
00:53:12The definition
00:53:14of a warrior.
00:53:20And this is the
00:53:22moment in the match where the light bulb
00:53:24goes off where Joe just has to fight.
00:53:26He's talked about it before.
00:53:28He's standing toe to toe
00:53:30with a man who's already submitted a Hall of Fame
00:53:32career. It's called fight
00:53:34or flight. Either you're going to stand
00:53:36there or you're going to run. Samoa Joe
00:53:38chooses to stand there
00:53:42and stand his ground.
00:53:44Oh!
00:53:46Until he's knocked down by the
00:53:48legend.
00:53:52And Kabashi standing tall
00:53:54over a fallen Samoa Joe.
00:53:56Kabashi! Kabashi!
00:53:58Kabashi! Kabashi!
00:54:00Kabashi! Kabashi!
00:54:02Kabashi! Kabashi!
00:54:04But this is a Joe that's only been
00:54:06wrestling for 7 years. Rick Obani.
00:54:08It's not the same Joe we know now.
00:54:10The Joe we know now is a Joe
00:54:12that has went through people like this
00:54:14and became the man that he is
00:54:16because of matches like this.
00:54:18Well now Kabashi, the bit of a covert twist.
00:54:20Remember Joe came up in the New Japan
00:54:22Dojo training under Antonio
00:54:24Inoki. He's not a stranger
00:54:26to this move.
00:54:30If we know about the dojo
00:54:32this is a move that you could only use
00:54:34you couldn't use any submission move. You had to use
00:54:36the basics. So you can see right now
00:54:38Kenta going to the basics and Samoa going to
00:54:40the ropes.
00:54:42And again I think that speaks to
00:54:44just how much
00:54:46respect Joe has for Kabashi
00:54:48because Joe normally would try and
00:54:50fight out, power out, do anything he could.
00:54:52Oh geez!
00:54:54Yeah.
00:54:56Lateral press. Two!
00:54:58Right there
00:55:00you can see the respect that Kabashi is
00:55:02earning for Joe. Realizing
00:55:04that this young man
00:55:06belongs in this sport
00:55:08and would have been a
00:55:10threat in the same ring
00:55:12in the years where Kenta was
00:55:14in his prime.
00:55:16Look at this. This chin lock here.
00:55:18And just
00:55:20wrenching on the neck.
00:55:22Draping the leg. Making the body go
00:55:24cross motion. I saw James Gibson
00:55:26sneaking out. Former Ring of Honor world champion.
00:55:30I got a glimpse of Roderick Strong
00:55:32Claudio Castagnoli, Colt Cabana
00:55:34here tonight as well. All are here.
00:55:36They've emptied the locker room with
00:55:38enough of an eagle eye you can find them
00:55:40as well.
00:55:42As the knee. Oh goodness!
00:55:44That knee to the neck
00:55:46on the vertebrae of the spine.
00:55:52It's been all Kabashi
00:55:54right now. These karate chops
00:55:56Kabashi's known for breaking bricks
00:55:58breaking boards
00:56:00these aren't just regular chops
00:56:02these are educated chops.
00:56:06Oh! Wait a minute!
00:56:08What? STO!
00:56:10STO! Flurry of offense from Joe!
00:56:12Senton delivers!
00:56:20Burst of adrenaline from Samoa Joe
00:56:22the body
00:56:24is now realizing
00:56:26you're gonna have to do all you can to stay in this
00:56:30Samoa dishing it out
00:56:32and will now. Yeah giving Kabashi
00:56:34a taste of his own medicine with that combination there
00:56:38a combo that Jinichiro Tenryu
00:56:40made famous who was one of Kenta's
00:56:42Kabashi's last opponents before this match
00:56:46No matter how much your adrenaline is flowing
00:56:48the body realizes it's still human
00:56:50You can see both opponents wore out
00:56:52right now. And interesting
00:56:54to point out how the crowd has shifted
00:56:56they were firmly in the corner
00:56:58of Kenta Kabashi
00:57:00but as Joe fires back up they're on Joe
00:57:02What! Buckle bomb!
00:57:04Buckle bomb plants
00:57:06Kabashi in the corner
00:57:08With a twist to it
00:57:12So much love and respect
00:57:14from outside the ring to the inside
00:57:16the ring listen to the crowd
00:57:20and look at this
00:57:22it is Joe
00:57:24doing the best he can now
00:57:26both men are drained physically, emotionally
00:57:28now these face washes
00:57:30great downward strategy
00:57:32Joe off the ropes coming in
00:57:34Thank goodness
00:57:38Giving all he's got
00:57:40the heart of Joe
00:57:42at this point is undeniable
00:57:44and Kabashi's feeling it
00:57:46as he is hoisted
00:57:48to the top rope
00:57:50and he's looking for the muscle buster
00:57:52Samoa Joe
00:57:54Got it!
00:57:56Make your cover Joe!
00:57:58Hooks the leg!
00:58:00No!
00:58:02Wow!
00:58:08And I don't know
00:58:10if anyone
00:58:12by this point
00:58:14in ROH my memory's not that
00:58:16sharp and kicked out
00:58:18now look at the Nikita Clutch
00:58:20It is Kabashi
00:58:22that healed the boot right to the skull
00:58:24I didn't know either I didn't want to say it
00:58:26but to know that Samoa Joe kept going
00:58:28kept the pressure
00:58:30kept it going nice transition
00:58:32from the bomb to the SPF
00:58:34and look at that
00:58:36Kabashi trying to
00:58:38the fingertips are broken
00:58:40and Joe he's trying to block the fingers
00:58:42from being locked
00:58:44in the wrist
00:58:46Joe continuing with the transition
00:58:48finding different ways to still lock this SPF
00:58:50in using that wrist tape
00:58:52as a rug burn
00:58:54making it
00:58:56uncomfortable and painful at the same time
00:58:58now has
00:59:00the elbow locked around the chin
00:59:06and look at this Kenta Kabashi
00:59:08who before this
00:59:10had bouts with future
00:59:12ROH World Champion Takeshi Morishima
00:59:14who was built
00:59:16similarly physically
00:59:18with a similar intensity as Joe
00:59:20he's got to dig into those bouts
00:59:22remember what he did maybe slip the head out
00:59:24the crown of the head
00:59:28with this move the higher it is on the head
00:59:30the more it hurts these transitions that Joe is getting
00:59:32it's very frustrating to Kabashi
00:59:34imagine trying to fight out of one move
00:59:36that's hurting so much and then you're slipped
00:59:38into another that hurts just as bad
00:59:42first time Kabashi grabs the ropes
00:59:44first time
00:59:48and not characteristic
00:59:50for Kenta Kabashi either
00:59:52two rope breaks for Joe
00:59:54one for Kenta Kabashi
00:59:56this is not a pure match
00:59:58but they stick out in our minds for how
01:00:00infrequent both men
01:00:02need to go to the ropes in their career
01:00:04definitely uncharacteristic right here
01:00:06Samoa Joe is at a place where he's going to have
01:00:08to jump into another level
01:00:10he's never been in before
01:00:12a test that he's never ascended to
01:00:14he's going to have to stay in there
01:00:16because his opponent is still moving
01:00:18continues to rise to his feet
01:00:22and the crowd has not stopped
01:00:24buzzing oh! chart is in
01:00:26chop! waist lock here
01:00:28half and
01:00:30half! Joe on his neck!
01:00:32Joe on his shoulder!
01:00:34Joe landed high
01:00:36tossing clear checking on Joe
01:00:40crowd cheering
01:00:46and the match
01:00:48has entered a full reset
01:00:50as both men
01:00:52need to reorient to find their
01:00:54bearings to get back in
01:00:56to what it was
01:00:58an instant classic
01:01:00Jay Lethal looking on
01:01:02cheering on Samoa Joe
01:01:06this war has turned to a war of attrition
01:01:08and now you're right Riccoboni
01:01:10still in your body's match
01:01:12up to his feet first but barely
01:01:14the knees are talking to him
01:01:16oh!
01:01:18back chop spinning back chop
01:01:24wow!
01:01:26there you go
01:01:28machine gun chops
01:01:34wow!
01:01:38and look at the wilted
01:01:40purple chest the broken
01:01:42blood vessels on the chest
01:01:44this is what you see many emulating
01:01:46but never quite duplicating
01:01:52the hand size the power the downward
01:01:54force and he! Kabashi keeps
01:01:56going! Kabashi keeps going!
01:02:00the resolve Kabashi's showing
01:02:02the energy that's coming out
01:02:04everything outlasted
01:02:06right there
01:02:10oh!
01:02:12double pop strike
01:02:14wow!
01:02:16Samoa's a sitting duck
01:02:18exhausted in the corner
01:02:22and this match taped before HD
01:02:24but you can see those
01:02:26loud and clear
01:02:28the bruising already
01:02:30at the collar bone the pectorals
01:02:32the shoulder
01:02:34Riccoboni just imagine if this was taped
01:02:36HD how much we would be seeing
01:02:38because we're seeing so
01:02:40much now
01:02:42oh look at that half and half
01:02:44he got it!
01:02:46Joe's fading
01:02:48Joe's fading
01:02:50cover!
01:02:52two!
01:02:54wow!
01:02:56it's the ring positioning
01:02:58knowing where you are that has saved
01:03:00Joe in this match so far
01:03:02but you can see now
01:03:04this level that Joe
01:03:06is in
01:03:08his mind is willing but his body is weak
01:03:14and Kabashi
01:03:16with Joe back to his feet
01:03:18Joe trying to fire back up
01:03:20adrenaline fluid sleeper!
01:03:22sleeper!
01:03:24Kabashi right back
01:03:26to the heart of it
01:03:28working on the condition and working on the oxygen
01:03:30wearing down the young man
01:03:32and Riccoboni you can see is working
01:03:34the investments that Kabashi has made
01:03:36is working now on Samoa Joe

01:04:00right now
01:04:04if Joe has a pulse
01:04:06if Joe's blood's flowing
01:04:08he's still in this match

01:04:58to so many of us

01:05:06fandoms, many of our involvements
01:05:08many of our first memories
01:05:10of ring of honor
01:05:12I feel like so many fans
01:05:14have been misinformed
01:05:16about what ring of honor is
01:05:18as if some people were doing us a favor
01:05:20by keeping us alive
01:05:22this is history
01:05:24this is what the heart of wrestling
01:05:26was made from
01:05:28this is America's strong style
01:05:32and for over 22 years
01:05:34the best wrestling on the planet
01:05:36has survived
01:05:38thrived
01:05:40and continues to grow
01:05:42under the ring of honor name
01:05:48that's honor right there
01:05:50earned
01:05:52this match
01:05:54make no mistake about it
01:05:56Joe had already had the longest reign
01:05:58in ring of honor history
01:06:02this match
01:06:04put Samoa Joe
01:06:06on a hall of fame path
01:06:08cemented his credentials
01:06:10took him to the next level
01:06:12it should come as no surprise
01:06:14Jay Lethal on the outside
01:06:16would go on to win the pure championship
01:06:18become a ring of honor
01:06:20world champion twice over
01:06:22and for a man
01:06:24who had no idea
01:06:26how the New Yorker would react
01:06:28who had no idea if the New Yorker
01:06:30would know who he was
01:06:32Kenta Kabashi
01:06:34a hall of famer of the highest order
01:06:36stands tall in the center of the ring
01:06:40code of honor adhered to
01:06:42as both men depart
01:06:44and perhaps the greatest match
01:06:46in ring of honor history
01:06:48greatest singles match
01:06:50and maybe the greatest singles match
01:06:52in professional wrestling history
01:06:54think about it if you have honor club
01:06:56you have access to all of these matches
01:06:58the history

01:07:08that must say was a match of the year
01:07:10five star match and a match of decades
01:07:12to some
01:07:14because I made a big mistake in 2005
01:07:16not going to the New Yorker hotel

01:12:36the respect means when they come into the ring
01:12:38they're both taking each other seriously
01:12:40and look at this
01:12:42it's Mark Briscoe
01:12:44spicy
01:12:46spicy drop kick plants
01:12:48the challenger
01:12:50champion
01:12:52taking a trip to
01:12:54no
01:12:56that's what happens
01:12:58when you know your opponent well
01:13:00this is a great
01:13:02distraction right here
01:13:04look at this on the apron
01:13:06Taven with the waist lock back
01:13:08elbow connects
01:13:10oh look at this
01:13:12ducks back
01:13:14blockbuster on Taven
01:13:16I
01:13:18think back to the classic
01:13:20tag team title bout
01:13:22Taven and Bennett had against the Briscoes
01:13:24I'm better than that
01:13:26you're better than that
01:13:282 out of 3 falls 2015 in Atlanta Georgia
01:13:30I think back to death before
01:13:32dishonor 2021
01:13:34the final battle of 2021
01:13:36both
01:13:38these teams
01:13:40both Mark Briscoe and Matt Taven
01:13:42have had
01:13:44luminous careers here
01:13:46as the Spicoli driver
01:13:48plants Taven
01:13:50that's a plant though
01:13:52exactly what it is
01:13:54trying to end things early
01:13:56is Mark Briscoe
01:13:58it's Briscoe
01:14:00no
01:14:02Briscoe able to reset
01:14:04didn't let an empty pool
01:14:06kick of the king
01:14:08plants Briscoe
01:14:10hooks the leg
01:14:12and Taven now
01:14:14sensing the momentum has shifted
01:14:16mounting Briscoe, Mark has to cover up
01:14:18and you gotta think
01:14:20knowing that Jericho
01:14:22pinned him in the 6 man tag team
01:14:24bout on collision
01:14:26after a 3 on 1 attack
01:14:28after Jericho said what he did about J
01:14:30this is a prime opportunity for Taven
01:14:32to just walk in the front door
01:14:34and become a 2 time
01:14:36world champion
01:14:38anytime you see a champion defeat it
01:14:40and they remind you that he is
01:14:42human and you just look for that opportunity
01:14:44to do it again and then you want to know what the
01:14:46champion's mindset is, does the champion
01:14:48does it discourage him or does it make him
01:14:50want to tighten up a little bit
01:14:52I believe Mark is wanting to tighten up but Taven
01:14:54is going to try to capitalize
01:14:56no matter what
01:14:582
01:15:00and in more recent times
01:15:02of course the undisputed kingdom, the conglomeration
01:15:04no strangers to one another
01:15:06that's hard
01:15:08Taven at your ear right there man
01:15:10that's evil
01:15:12and now
01:15:14just putting the squeeze on Mark Briscoe
01:15:16Pittsburgh trying to rally Briscoe
01:15:18for a comeback here
01:15:20as Briscoe
01:15:22establishes a vertical base
01:15:24shouts to the midsection
01:15:26it's hard
01:15:28to hold a Briscoe in a
01:15:30submission move for long
01:15:32they stand straight to their feet
01:15:34they try to do it fast, it's not somebody
01:15:36getting a breath, Mark Briscoe
01:15:38Jay Briscoe, every time you put him in a submission
01:15:40you see him stand right back up
01:15:42wow, look at the agility of Taven
01:15:44it's a Gary there
01:15:46Taven, back
01:15:48a purple thunder
01:15:502, could it be a new champion?
01:15:52no
01:15:56and just a 2 count there
01:15:58and that frustration setting in on Taven's
01:16:00behalf, hitting him with the big shots
01:16:02earlier in this landing but it's
01:16:04and this is what Chris Jericho
01:16:06is going to do to this Melvin
01:16:10and you hear Taven
01:16:12I'm going to show you what Jericho's going to do
01:16:14supporting Jericho
01:16:16that's interesting
01:16:18the lion's salt
01:16:20instead it feeds to the midsection
01:16:22challenger reeling
01:16:24Taven's mouth got
01:16:26in the way
01:16:28and there's Briscoe
01:16:30there you go
01:16:32wow
01:16:34redneck kung fu
01:16:36on full display
01:16:38a black belt in the discipline
01:16:40the reverse, Taven the challenger
01:16:42sent down by the champion Mark Briscoe
01:16:46and the champion back to his feet first
01:16:52uh oh, here it comes
01:16:54oh my goodness
01:16:56wow, those long legs
01:16:58of Taven
01:17:00but Briscoe down to size
01:17:02Taven said not in my house
01:17:04not today
01:17:08and Briscoe
01:17:10Yaranagi
01:17:12what you call me
01:17:14Yaranagi plants the challenger
01:17:16hooks the leg
01:17:182-0
01:17:20and this is the resilience
01:17:22of the challenger Matt Taven
01:17:24the man who's been to the mountaintop
01:17:26who climbed the ladder
01:17:28and figuratively at Madison Square Garden
01:17:30to capture the ring of honor world title
01:17:32trying to become a two-time champ
01:17:34Irish reverse
01:17:36duck down, sunset flip
01:17:38up and over, oh just the tip
01:17:40of the knee
01:17:42hooks the leg
01:17:442-0
01:17:48and Taven
01:17:50continues to knock on the door
01:17:52consternation in the eyes
01:17:54in the face of Mike Bennett
01:17:56he's going up to the top looking for
01:17:58Aruro Borealis
01:18:00if he hits it will have a new champion here
01:18:02he got it
01:18:04he hit it with the body
01:18:062-0
01:18:10frustration setting in
01:18:12but you know what
01:18:14the Mark Briscoe that Taven is wrestling now
01:18:16is not the Mark Briscoe of the past
01:18:18these championship wins have given Mark
01:18:20a new win and he also has
01:18:22something different to fight for
01:18:24Taven
01:18:26looking to go up top once more
01:18:28Aruro Borealis for a second
01:18:30time perhaps
01:18:32oh onto the knees
01:18:34the air
01:18:36pushed through the ribs, the esophagus
01:18:38I can call this
01:18:40a Rickabody
01:18:42up top Caprice
01:18:44take it away
01:18:46Froggy no
01:18:48Froggy no
01:18:50wow
01:18:52and it's been a roller coaster
01:18:54of emotions for Mike Bennett
01:18:56on the outside here
01:18:58but this is sure no Rickabody
01:19:00both men given all they have
01:19:02exasperating themselves
01:19:04it's going to take something different
01:19:06for one of them to win they're so familiar with each
01:19:08other's offense but they're not
01:19:10familiar with the heart and the new
01:19:12heart that is coming out of Mark Briscoe
01:19:14but Taven is going to have to do something
01:19:18big forearm
01:19:20from Briscoe rattles the challenger
01:19:22challenger fires up
01:19:24wait a minute
01:19:26Briscoe
