00:00:00♪♪
00:00:10Welcome, everyone, to Riccobono Wrestling.
00:00:12It's Ian Riccobono and Caprice Coleman.
00:00:14What a night of action here tonight,
00:00:15including Riccobono Pure Championship Match,
00:00:17Tiger-style lead Moriarty,
00:00:19defends against Preston Bates.
00:00:21This show is sure to be a thriller,
00:00:23as the living dead girl, Abadon,
00:00:25still lurks Athena like a creature of the night,
00:00:27awaiting their victim in singles action.
00:00:30Wow, and in tag team action,
00:00:33we will see Boulder and Jack Jamison of the Iron Savages
00:00:36take on the Dark Order's John Silver and Alex Reynolds.
00:00:40While the rest of the world's still trying to figure out
00:00:43whether Brian Cage is man or machine,
00:00:45we get to witness his freakish athleticism
00:00:47and un-ness aesthetics in action tonight.
00:00:50And for the first time since the emergency mem,
00:00:53we will see Athena the longest-reigning champion
00:00:55of any kind in ROH.
00:00:57Teaming with the former Ring of Honor
00:00:59Women's World Television Champion, Billie Starks.
00:01:01And in a match that'll command your attention
00:01:03as a high-flying, innovative spectacle made for TV,
00:01:06Commander Nurses Johnny TV, Ring of Honor starts now.
00:01:14Going to be an incredible night of action.
00:01:15We're gonna kick things off hot
00:01:17with a former World Television Champion
00:01:19against one of the fastest rising stars in ROH.
00:01:21The following contest is scheduled for one fall,
00:01:23with a 20-minute time limit.
00:01:25Introducing first, now coming to the ring
00:01:27by Leo Rush from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
00:01:31weighing 188 pounds, Action Andretti!
00:01:37What a response for Action Andretti,
00:01:40making his way down to the ring with Leo Rush,
00:01:42who was victorious against Rocky Romero
00:01:45in the main event here on ROH.
00:01:47But for fans who follow AEW Ring of Honor,
00:01:50Caprice Action Andretti,
00:01:51a little bit of a different attitude as of late.
00:01:53Hey, but check it out, man.
00:01:55You deserve it when you can rock like that.
00:01:56You've got a crew that you're rocking with,
00:01:58getting some wins under your belt, confidence rising.
00:02:02You'll be feeling yourself too, Ricoboni.
00:02:05Certainly want a huge test ahead, though.
00:02:07A former Ring of Honor World Television Champion.
00:02:09We go back to our guinea.
00:02:11And the opponent, Tony Jeffins!
00:02:20And this was a match I didn't know I wanted to see
00:02:22until it was signed, Code of Honor adhered to.
00:02:26Tony Jeffins, one of my favorites, Ricoboni.
00:02:28We're going to dive into the deep end.
00:02:30Certainly, the color of the time.
00:02:31Speaking of that, last night, side headlock takeover.
00:02:35It was AEW Dynamite from Arthur Ash-Grand Slam.
00:02:40Nice side headlock there.
00:02:42And next week, AEW comes to the Peterson Event Center
00:02:43to celebrate the fifth anniversary.
00:02:45I can't believe it's been five years already.
00:02:47Time moves when you're having fun.
00:02:49Yeah, coming to you October 2nd.
00:02:52Two!
00:02:54Tickets are limited, AWTIX.com.
00:02:56Looking for the backslide here.
00:02:58A lot of ROH flavor last night.
00:03:00Of course, Ryan Danielson, Nigel McGinnis,
00:03:02now off the ropes.
00:03:03Shoulder tackle!
00:03:07And it's Andretti.
00:03:09And this crowd, I don't know if they know
00:03:11what to make of Andretti.
00:03:12He's been more aggressive as of late.
00:03:15And stepping the former TV champ, cover, two.
00:03:21It's hard when you're a wrestler
00:03:22and you become more aggressive.
00:03:24And you're getting to watch this pin.
00:03:25Oh, nice trap, trap, two!
00:03:28It's hard to balance that
00:03:29because sometimes you could be aggressive
00:03:31and not be a bad person.
00:03:33You're just being more assertive in your actions
00:03:34because you're wanting those wins.
00:03:36Sometimes you could be too nice.
00:03:39Well, we've seen that before.
00:03:40Being nice costs, I mean,
00:03:43Well, it certainly did.
00:03:44Billy Starks, ooh, had her opportunities.
00:03:48Queen Aminata did as well.
00:03:50Those mind games, taking advantage.
00:03:53Oh, knife edge chop there.
00:03:56Deppen is a hard man to game plan for.
00:03:59Those unorthodox Bob Bacton style movements,
00:04:02kind of of the new age.
00:04:03Yeah.
00:04:04Oh!
00:04:05Yeah.
00:04:06Deppen could take a lot of blows.
00:04:07He's got a lot of power.
00:04:08He's got a lot of power.
00:04:09He's got a lot of power.
00:04:10He's got a lot of power.
00:04:11Deppen could take a lot of punishment, too.
00:04:14What the word?
00:04:16Look at that!
00:04:18Beautiful.
00:04:19Wrist lock takeover into the drop kick.
00:04:21It's actually Andretti on the roll here.
00:04:23I mean, talking about hard to plan.
00:04:26Yeah.
00:04:27That assertiveness is gaining confidence.
00:04:29Watch this.
00:04:31Springboard twist, cover.
00:04:33Two.
00:04:35And Deppen, so well conditioned.
00:04:37And a victory over Deppen would go a long way.
00:04:42It's huge, man.
00:04:43And I like the condition of Deppen, man.
00:04:44He could, he has so much resilience.
00:04:46We've seen him take beating after beating
00:04:48after beating, and not die!
00:04:50No.
00:04:51A snapmare, of course, formally associated
00:04:55with AEW's Brody King.
00:04:57Hooks the leg here, one.
00:05:00And he was hanging around those guys.
00:05:01I'll tell you what, you gotta be a bad dude.
00:05:04Most people just kick out.
00:05:05Deppen kicks out and creates that space.
00:05:08Trying to recover as fast as possible.
00:05:09Looking for an opening,
00:05:11but Andretti, with his no-pound assertiveness,
00:05:13is not letting one happen.
00:05:15Two count there, and I like it.
00:05:17Because this is showing that Andretti
00:05:19came to play in singles action.
00:05:21We've seen him do very well in tag and six man.
00:05:25But the jump into the fire to continue
00:05:27to try and level up against even better opponents
00:05:30is telling me a lot about Andretti,
00:05:32a man who's got a victory over Chris Jericho.
00:05:34I was getting ready to say that,
00:05:35but Rick Abadie, sometimes when you come in
00:05:36on a high screen like that, you get a win
00:05:38over somebody like Chris Jericho,
00:05:40and then your career doesn't go the way you want it to.
00:05:43You have to do something to resurge that.
00:05:45And I believe this is what Andretti's doing.
00:05:48In the corner here, Deppen, springboard.
00:05:50Oh, no one home on the press.
00:05:52Charging in, back elbow.
00:05:54The Nipa native here from Shemokin, up and over.
00:05:57Ooh, look at this.
00:05:59Come on, Rick Abadie.
00:06:01Into the corner.
00:06:02Shemokin, it is Deppen with the forearm.
00:06:07Big close line there.
00:06:09Wow, and you gotta be a tough dude.
00:06:11I told you to fight your way out of a proud town
00:06:14in the slate belt like Shemokin.
00:06:17Deppen did just that to take the international stage.
00:06:20Looking to get back in the win column here on ROH,
00:06:22all the way up top.
00:06:24It is Deppen, no one home.
00:06:27Deppen able to recover.
00:06:30It's Andretti here.
00:06:32Elbow catches Andretti, Deppen out of the ropes.
00:06:35Smart move by Deppen, holding on to those ropes,
00:06:37making it hard for Andretti to pull him off.
00:06:39Andretti chooses the outside, Deppen with a nice kick.
00:06:43Great separation, wow.
00:06:47Andretti to the outside.
00:06:49Watch this, Rick Abadie.
00:06:50I remember this.
00:06:52Yeah, it's Deppen off the ropes.
00:06:54Deppen in the deep end.
00:06:59Splashing down on the outside.
00:07:02You're like Sonic the Hedgehog.
00:07:04Whoa, wait a minute.
00:07:06Andretti.
00:07:08Andretti staying on top, it's not aggression.
00:07:11As if Andretti was reminding him whose yards you're in now.
00:07:14Springboard 450, lands on his feet, returning.
00:07:17Nice kick.
00:07:19Downstairs, and at the combination here, front face lock.
00:07:23The deadlift, somewhat out of the bucket.
00:07:26Leg hooked, two, no.
00:07:30Nothing wrong with the cover,
00:07:31nothing wrong with the weight distribution.
00:07:33Deppen is just showing that he's not ready to go home.
00:07:37A lot of fight between these two, Matt.
00:07:39Couldn't think of a better way
00:07:40to kick things off this week here on ROH.
00:07:42You believe this is the first match?
00:07:44Oh, I can't once.
00:07:46Oh, shotgun drop kick.
00:07:48And if we're getting this first,
00:07:50imagine what we'll see in a minute.
00:07:51As Andretti, springboard.
00:07:55Two, got him.
00:07:56Got him.
00:07:57Here is your winner, Action Andretti!
00:08:02And count that as the signature win for Action Andretti.
00:08:06Tony Deppen returns the former world TV champ,
00:08:10but it's Andretti who was tested,
00:08:13who comes through the other side with the victory.
00:08:15If you're ever looking for confidence,
00:08:18no more confidence builder than getting a win
00:08:20over a former Ring of Honor television champion.
00:08:22Great win for Action Andretti.
00:08:24Deppen looking fantastic in his return,
00:08:26but that speaks volumes to the win
00:08:29that Andretti picked up here tonight
00:08:30in our opening contest.
00:08:32Fans, we caught up with the Iron Savages
00:08:33and Jack Jamison earlier today.
00:08:40Outrunners, the youngest men alive.
00:08:43First of all, how can y'all be the youngest men alive
00:08:46when one of you has a bald spot bigger than the highway
00:08:48between Fort Worth and Dallas?
00:08:50How can you be the youngest men alive
00:08:52when one of you has a bald spot bigger than the highway
00:08:54between Fort Worth and Dallas?
00:08:56And second of all, you want to make a name for yourselves?
00:08:59That's fine.
00:09:00You want to rise to the top?
00:09:01That's fine.
00:09:02But when you want to do that
00:09:03off the big, meaty backs of the Iron Savages,
00:09:08that's not fine, you two.
00:09:10You're wannabes, you're carbon copies.
00:09:12You're meat riders, couple of meat riders.
00:09:17You two came in this company riding off of our meat wave
00:09:21and no, we cook.
00:09:23Look at the size of those boys.
00:09:25You two are nothing but a couple of meat riders.
00:09:31All of the buzz that you two have accumulated
00:09:35over the last month should belong to us,
00:09:38should belong to the Iron Savages.
00:09:40Oh, what, you don't like that, huh?
00:09:42You don't like, you don't like what we have to say?
00:09:44You don't like what we've done?
00:09:46Why don't you do something about it?
00:09:48Because if you don't, we'll be around every corner.
00:09:50We'll be on every Florida beach.
00:09:52We'll be in every gym sauna waiting to embarrass you.
00:09:57More than you embarrass yourselves
00:09:58on a daily freaking basis.
00:10:01Now that's saucy.
00:10:02Sip on that.
00:10:03Sip on that.
00:10:09Well, and enraged Iron Savages
00:10:11stated their motivation for this attack.
00:10:13It was two weeks ago that we saw three on two of the-
00:10:17You wanna be the Iron Savages?
00:10:19Nobody's the Iron Savages.
00:10:21The Iron Savages, this decimating,
00:10:23in my opinion, out of jealousy, the Outrunners.
00:10:27And here tonight, we will see them in tag team action.
00:10:30This tag team match is set for one fall
00:10:33with a 20 minute time limit.
00:10:35Team number one in a combined weight of 497 pounds.
00:10:40The team of Jack Hoppins and TDC and BK, Boulder.
00:10:47Are these both team meat riders?
00:10:51Low team meat riders.
00:10:52I've launched an investigation into T Caprice.
00:10:57And we have T tested the Iron Savages.
00:11:01One day we will reveal those results.
00:11:04But I'll tell you what, the meat riders?
00:11:06Can we even say that on Honor Club?
00:11:07I wasn't gonna say it, but you said it,
00:11:09so I guess it's gonna be okay.
00:11:11Iron Savages, we ride the meat.
00:11:15Tell you what, the most vulgar team.
00:11:17I can't let my kids watch this.
00:11:21But the physicality, just the brutal sneak attacks.
00:11:26And they're going against a team who has no shame
00:11:28and has done a little bit of that themselves.
00:11:30The opponents, accompanied by Evil Uno,
00:11:34John Silver, Alex Reynolds, Darth Hoarder.
00:11:40Reynolds on the left, Silver on the right,
00:11:43Evil Uno down the middle.
00:11:45For no strangers to sneak attacks of their own, Caprice.
00:11:48Yeah, you never know what kind of energy
00:11:50the Dark Order is bringing into the house
00:11:52when they walk in.
00:11:53And sometimes the fans don't even catch it until later,
00:11:57because the Dark Order is just that crafty.
00:12:01You don't know they're evil until they do it.
00:12:05And of course, last week, the sneak attack,
00:12:09laying out with the Cage of Agony.
00:12:13Yeah, just decimating the Ring of Honor
00:12:17of the World Tag Team Champions,
00:12:18who've had quite the schedule on their own right.
00:12:21We'll have some highlights of Collision coming up,
00:12:23that match against the Undisputed Kingdom.
00:12:26But it's amazing though, the fans, you're right, Caprice,
00:12:29the fans are never wrong.
00:12:31They've taken to this day one tag team
00:12:33who feels they've been overlooked.
00:12:35It feels like they need to do things like that sneak attack
00:12:37to get the attention back on them.
00:12:39Yeah, sometimes when you like somebody, Rick Cabana,
00:12:41you'll go past so many things.
00:12:44I watched half a training day before I realized
00:12:46that Washington was the bad guy.
00:12:49There you go, a nice waist lock here.
00:12:50Two teams not adored by the fans at this moment.
00:12:54Of course, the fans in Tacoma love AEW,
00:12:57and they will be joining us live Saturday, October 12th.
00:13:00Tickets on sale now for AEW Wrestle Dream.
00:13:03Pay-per-view coming your way,
00:13:04nice touch to the clothesline there.
00:13:05It is Reynolds.
00:13:08Look at that, the power of Boulder.
00:13:11Goodness, yeah.
00:13:14A mocking.
00:13:16Yeah, that's a little bit dangerous.
00:13:18No one home.
00:13:21That attack last week looked planned, Rick Cabana.
00:13:25Yeah, there was an uncanniness to the engagement,
00:13:29the unity between the Dark Order and the Cage of Agony
00:13:32as we went off the air.
00:13:33Kind of rubbed me the wrong way.
00:13:34There's a lot of cohesiveness that was just
00:13:36unexplained to me.
00:13:37And a tag made, Jack Jameson, and he is jacked,
00:13:41I'll give him that.
00:13:43Jameson, saucy, baby.
00:13:47A lot of vascularity, a lot of muscles in this match.
00:13:50Gonna have a pose-off.
00:13:52Oh, yeah, I'd love that.
00:13:54I bet you would.
00:13:55Yeah, I sure would.
00:13:57Nice side headlock there.
00:14:00Don't normally get to see Jameson in these matches.
00:14:04John Silver coming off a win last week over KM.
00:14:07Great victory with that Sid Vicious-like spinning.
00:14:10Oh!
00:14:12John Silver with that surprising strength out of nowhere.
00:14:14That ground game that he has, that low center of gravity.
00:14:18He is freaking jacked.
00:14:19Strong power game.
00:14:20Reminds you of the British Bulldog.
00:14:23Wow, there you go.
00:14:28They talk a lot about meat, and beating meat,
00:14:30and doing this to their meat, and Grade-A meat.
00:14:33Hey, Rick Cabana said, I didn't say that.
00:14:36Oh, wait a minute.
00:14:38They talk about meat, but Johnny's hungry,
00:14:40and he's inviting Jack Jameson to the dinner table.
00:14:43He just put him in his hairiest place on earth.
00:14:48And why is he so offended that Jack Jameson
00:14:50got a trip to his favorite city?
00:14:52Whoa!
00:14:56You got boobs in your face.
00:14:59Oh, big clothesline.
00:15:01That right there was that attention being grabbed.
00:15:04Sometimes you do what you want.
00:15:05Sometimes you do what you want,
00:15:06but you forget why you're there.
00:15:07You're wrestling, you're fighting,
00:15:09you're trying to survive.
00:15:11And that attention right there,
00:15:12that birdie John Silver is costing him right now.
00:15:17Well, and I'll tell you what, they used to say,
00:15:19as we talked about Tacoma earlier,
00:15:21Tag Made, one of the great players
00:15:22in the state of Washington, Gary Payton,
00:15:24was one of the great defenders,
00:15:26because he could talk trash,
00:15:28and then defend you and pick your pocket.
00:15:30And I think the wrestling equivalent of that
00:15:33are the Iron Savages.
00:15:34And that trash talk, it's gotta,
00:15:37they don't stop talking, Caprice.
00:15:40It's a hard thing to be getting your tail whooped
00:15:43by somebody that's talking to you about it
00:15:44while they're doing it, man.
00:15:46It's demoralizing.
00:15:48Oh, look at that.
00:15:49The skull squeeze, reminiscent of Crush,
00:15:53but three times as big from Beefcake Boulder.
00:15:59Oh, wait a minute, just sizing up John Silver.
00:16:02Silver with the big boot, spent too much time,
00:16:04telegraphed it.
00:16:07And another second rope on the inside,
00:16:10Silver caught.
00:16:13And Jamison continues to bark orders to the big man,
00:16:16but it's Silver up and over, makes the tag.
00:16:20Reynolds in, cleaning the house,
00:16:22knows which direction to go into,
00:16:24misdirection, and he's got it.
00:16:26He knows which direction to go into, misdirection, nice.
00:16:30And look at Reynolds go downstairs to the knee.
00:16:34Off the ropes, yes.
00:16:41And there is that equity they have with the fans, Caprice,
00:16:44even though they've administered these sneak attacks
00:16:47against fan favorites like Dustin Rhodes,
00:16:49Sammy Guevara, The Von Erics, they still love them.
00:16:52I think sometimes people just love good wrestling,
00:16:54and the cohesiveness that the Dark Order has,
00:16:57it's undeniable, Reynolds on his feet,
00:16:59ducks the clothesline.
00:17:00And look at that back fist that Double Axe misses.
00:17:02It's Reynolds around the world.
00:17:04Whoa, catches Beefcake, look at this Cobra stretch.
00:17:10Cobra twist, Double Axe from Jack Jamison.
00:17:15I'll tell you what.
00:17:16He's back out as if he didn't do anything,
00:17:17looking for the tag.
00:17:18Oh, tag made.
00:17:19Wow.
00:17:20And he has been the MVP of this match so far
00:17:23for the Iron Savages.
00:17:24Well, you know, sometimes the manager on the outside
00:17:27is able to see things, and when you see the manager
00:17:29form inside the ring that is still in great shape,
00:17:31they're able to do the things they're coaching,
00:17:33and that's Jack Jamison right now.
00:17:35And look at that uppercut, the forearms connect,
00:17:38getting Beefcake down to size,
00:17:39but Beefcake's not the legal man.
00:17:41And Beefcake is, oh, the second, wow!
00:17:44That was one arm, Riccoboni.
00:17:46Elevator slab, and here comes Beefcake!
00:17:49My goodness.
00:17:50Smashing rattles, leg hook, great cover, two!
00:17:53Wow.
00:17:55That was a lot of beef.
00:17:59Oh!
00:18:01And there is meat all over the place here.
00:18:06As Beefcake, Irish whip into the corner.
00:18:10Jack Jamison, and they're great communicators.
00:18:13They know where, oh, wait a minute, wait.
00:18:16I've never seen, whoa!
00:18:19A near 500 pound man go up and over like that in Sagiri.
00:18:22There you go.
00:18:23Great combination, the Dark Order!
00:18:26Wow!
00:18:29They got it!
00:18:32The winners of this match, Dark Order!
00:18:36That's what the fans cheer, Riccoboni.
00:18:38You can't beat that cohesiveness.
00:18:41I'll tell you what, that match changed
00:18:43in the blink of an eye.
00:18:45It was the unforced error, there was great communication,
00:18:48but Beefcake went over the top.
00:18:52Victorious here tonight, the Dark Order.
00:18:54There you see Evil Udo, the paper's in hand,
00:18:56much like Brodie Lee.
00:18:57I wonder if they're digging back into that old playbook.
00:19:06After moments of both, great triumph.
00:19:08The American Dragon is the AEW World Champion!
00:19:14An unimaginable defeat.
00:19:16Just turned on Denison.
00:19:17How far do you take something?
00:19:19There is one question to answer.
00:19:21Was it all a dream?
00:19:24Or is this your reality?
00:19:27On this night, you create the answer.
00:19:31AEW WrestleDream.
00:19:37WrestleDream coming to Tacoma!
00:19:43This match is set for one blow
00:19:45and a 20 minute time limit.
00:19:46Introducing first, wrestling out of the Black Hills,
00:19:50the Living Dead Girl, Abadon!
00:19:55The Living Dead Girl here at ROH with their eyes set
00:19:57on the Ring of Honor Women's World title.
00:19:59Oh, here they come.
00:20:05Their opponent, Livia!
00:20:08Well, Livia making their ROH debut
00:20:12as Abadon trying to make their way
00:20:15up the ladder.
00:20:16Caprice Athena, congratulations.
00:20:18Longest title reign of any champion in ROH history.
00:20:22Surpassing Samoa Joe.
00:20:25Abadon, though, looking to put an emphatic end
00:20:29to that world championship reign.
00:20:31Longest days in most defenses.
00:20:33That means she's the greatest Ring of Honor
00:20:35champion of all time.
00:20:38As the Code of Honor adhered to here.
00:20:43Oh, the Code of Honor.
00:20:44Oh, wait a minute.
00:20:45Oh, look at that!
00:20:47That can't be legal.
00:20:48You know, in the last match, Caprice,
00:20:51we wondered what was in the hands of Evil Uno.
00:20:54Of course, Brody Lee used to carry around
00:20:56those papers like that.
00:20:57And Brody Lee's, oh, action figure is the latest
00:21:00to be released to the ROH vault.
00:21:03You can order that now from jazzwearsvault.com.
00:21:07You can have the late great Brody Lee
00:21:08to your collection.
00:21:09That figure looks beautiful.
00:21:10Comes with removable soft goods.
00:21:12Oh, goodness.
00:21:13Olivia with a great forearm there.
00:21:14Olivia from, oh, goodness.
00:21:17Trained by the kingdom herself.
00:21:19You think you're so good because you're weird.
00:21:22Whoa!
00:21:23Well, that's one way to put it.
00:21:24You can call Abadon weird.
00:21:26Not why they're there.
00:21:32Weird is cool, though.
00:21:33Look at this.
00:21:34Number one movie in the country is about a guy
00:21:37who shows up from a model in a dead person's house.
00:21:43Wow!
00:21:44Goodness!
00:21:47Backbreaker, unrelenting, clubbing forearms.
00:21:51I am not that easy, ah!
00:21:56And I'll tell you what, you're right.
00:21:57Olivia.
00:21:58Oh, goodness, the knee!
00:22:00That knee was flushed, Rick Abadon.
00:22:02Flushed into the face of Olivia.
00:22:04I believe Abadon's gonna try to put this away now.
00:22:08Like D'Orio, coming at ya.
00:22:11Wow!
00:22:12Plants the skull of Olivia to, that's it.
00:22:17The winner of this match, Abadon!
00:22:20Ah!
00:22:25Wow!
00:22:26Oh, goodness!
00:22:28And nasty.
00:22:31Easy!
00:22:32I'm coming for you, Athena!
00:22:34You hear that?
00:22:35I know you're looking!
00:22:36I know you're watching!
00:22:39Abadon is a daymare.
00:22:41The challenge called out, and speaking of challenges,
00:22:44the hotly contested ROH Women's World Television title
00:22:47challenge is in the air.
00:22:50Guys, I am here with Diamante and the Ring of Honor
00:22:52Women's World Television champion, Red Velvet.
00:22:55Now, you've both asked for this time,
00:22:57but the ROH Board of Directors has stated
00:22:59that there can be no physicality in this interview.
00:23:02Otherwise, the match is canceled.
00:23:04So, Red Velvet, as our champion, the floor is yours.
00:23:07Thank you, R. Kitty.
00:23:09You know, Diamante, we've been in the ring
00:23:12more times than I can count.
00:23:15And every time I think I see the best Diamante,
00:23:21you prove me wrong.
00:23:23I've been watching you close.
00:23:25I saw what you did in the Lights Out match.
00:23:27I saw what you did at the Texas Death Match.
00:23:32And I'm not gonna lie, you're at your prime.
00:23:35You've really hit your prime.
00:23:39But how many years have you been doing this?
00:23:4115, 16?
00:23:44I did it in eight.
00:23:46And I became your Ring of Honor Women's TV champion.
00:23:51And you might not wanna say it, but I can see it.
00:23:55It eats you up inside.
00:23:58I know it keeps you up at night.
00:24:02Ladies, ladies, remember, there can be no physicality.
00:24:05Otherwise, the match is canceled.
00:24:06Please.
00:24:07You know what?
00:24:08You're right.
00:24:09You're right about the matches.
00:24:11Those matches have been the best that Diamante has been.
00:24:15But sabes que?
00:24:16They're not the best that Diamante will be.
00:24:19You talking like that because you have no idea
00:24:22what I'm willing to do to be a champion in this company.
00:24:24You hear me?
00:24:25Yeah.
00:24:27You standing there with that,
00:24:29you standing there with that pretty custom red belt?
00:24:32Well, guess what?
00:24:34What?
00:24:34Red looks a hell of a lot better on me.
00:24:38Yeah.
00:24:40All right.
00:24:48Well, thank you, Arcade.
00:24:49The restraint needed.
00:24:50I can't even imagine to separate two as heated as they
00:24:54with that ROH Women's World title in the balance.
00:24:59This match is set for one fall day.
00:25:0120 minute time limit.
00:25:02Introducing first,
00:25:03let's go to Chico, California.
00:25:06Weighing 274 pounds,
00:25:09The Machine,
00:25:11Ryan Kane.
00:25:22A lot of question marks swirling
00:25:24about this man's involvement in last week's main event.
00:25:26We go back to Bobby Crews.
00:25:28His opponent, Alec Price.
00:25:33Alec Price with a big opportunity here tonight,
00:25:35but Brian Cage, to me,
00:25:38didn't quite fit into the equation of what we saw last week,
00:25:41which meant his involvement was a bit more surprising to me
00:25:45than maybe even the gates of agony.
00:25:48Yeah, but I mean, I think Brian Cage,
00:25:50look at him.
00:25:51He can do what he wants to do, Ricky Bonnie.
00:25:53If I looked like that,
00:25:54I'd be just walking down to ringside
00:25:57just showing my muscles off.
00:26:00But Cage got physical lift.
00:26:03Everybody laying coat of honor in here too.
00:26:05Of course, brand new gear from the gates of agony,
00:26:09from Brian Cage,
00:26:10from Red Velvet,
00:26:12from all your favorite ROH stars.
00:26:13You can go to shopahonor.com, shopaew.com.
00:26:18Some really great new designs.
00:26:20Oh!
00:26:21Big shoulder tackle.
00:26:22My goodness.
00:26:24That freakish athleticism.
00:26:29Saying he interrupted his entrance.
00:26:30He didn't interrupt his entrance.
00:26:32Bobby Crews.
00:26:34You gonna tell him he lied?
00:26:35No, no, no sir.
00:26:38Irish whip.
00:26:39Alec Price, man, a lot of promise.
00:26:41I've seen this guy.
00:26:42Northeast, that's what I'm saying.
00:26:48And just, ooh, just 25 years old.
00:26:51Look at that, the agility.
00:26:54They call him the Price City OG.
00:26:56Look at that.
00:26:57Yeah.
00:26:58And look at that, hurricanrana caught though.
00:27:01Goodness.
00:27:02These are moves that work on momentum.
00:27:04Doesn't work with Brian Cage.
00:27:08And Price has picked up some-
00:27:09Wow!
00:27:11Picked up some big wins.
00:27:15In some big organizations,
00:27:17but trying to level up doing so
00:27:19with one of the biggest and baddest,
00:27:23one of the greatest world six-man champs
00:27:25we've ever had in ROH.
00:27:27The Northeast Beast is meeting the machine right now.
00:27:37Look at this.
00:27:37Just Cage, who's got his breath, his composure.
00:27:41Tell you what, Price looks sacrificed right there.
00:27:44Yeah, look at the heel toe.
00:27:46Goodness.
00:27:48How many times do you see an involuntary twist
00:27:51of the hips on a heel toss?
00:27:53Well, any time you get tossed by a machine,
00:27:55I've seen machines do crazy things to humans.
00:27:59What is that?
00:28:00Wow.
00:28:02Looking tasty.
00:28:05I wasn't going to repeat that.
00:28:06Yeah.
00:28:07Wow, again.
00:28:10I mean, he looks great.
00:28:13He's already impressed us.
00:28:16They're calling for it again.
00:28:19One more time.
00:28:21I don't think Price wants this to happen.
00:28:23No.
00:28:23It's just a guess, though.
00:28:24Yeah, this is against Price's will here.
00:28:27Oh, God!
00:28:30That's a 10-foot drop to the floor, at least.
00:28:35And just taking his time.
00:28:40We got to check out Price.
00:28:41There's a 20 count on the outside.
00:28:43You might be able to count to 100.
00:28:45Yeah, you might need some white chalk, too.
00:28:49I was going to say some Clorox wipes, too.
00:28:52Clean up any bodily fluid that may have been expelled.
00:28:58Yes, Price now back to his...
00:29:00No, Cave, come on.
00:29:01Wait, this poor...
00:29:02No way.
00:29:03This is a top prospect.
00:29:07That was nice.
00:29:09He could have went a whole lot of places.
00:29:10Yeah, I was afraid he was going to go
00:29:12to those other deeper, darker places, Caprice.
00:29:13I'm not going to lie.
00:29:15I'm agreeing with you.
00:29:17It's so big of you to spot that thing.
00:29:19That's got to be 26 inches.
00:29:21Jeez.
00:29:22If not 26 and a half, he's got peaks on peaks.
00:29:29Cage just stalking his opponent here.
00:29:33And Alex is...
00:29:34Yeah, Price has been victorious
00:29:36in over 90% of his independent matches.
00:29:39Swing and a miss there.
00:29:40Price back to his feet.
00:29:42What?
00:29:43Yeah, and this is why.
00:29:44Stick and move.
00:29:46Yeah, you never can count Price out.
00:29:48I'll tell you what, you get an opportunity
00:29:50to show the world who you are.
00:29:53And this is how Price is showing he's worth the price.
00:29:56Yeah.
00:29:56Oh, the heart.
00:29:57Up the ladder with a knee.
00:29:58Look at Price go.
00:30:00Crease the distance and close the gap
00:30:02to get the adrenaline.
00:30:04Yeah, but you came better for the crown, Rick Abadi.
00:30:08Oh, I agree.
00:30:09Jesus!
00:30:11Yeah, he let the machine's claw grab a hold.
00:30:19And we might be seeing a claw of a different kind.
00:30:22Yeah.
00:30:24It is Price.
00:30:25Uh-oh.
00:30:27Huge powerbomb.
00:30:28What?
00:30:29And again.
00:30:32Wow, that's three.
00:30:33No, what?
00:30:35And Cage.
00:30:39Oh, is that an F10?
00:30:43Cover, two, that's it.
00:30:47The winner of this match, The Machine, Brian Cage.
00:30:53Alec Price is one of the fastest rising prospects
00:30:57in the Northeast.
00:30:58He gave a heck of an effort.
00:30:59Yeah, but I think that shows you the level
00:31:03at which Brian Cage is currently operating
00:31:05at top of the top right now.
00:31:08Operating at this level,
00:31:10you only see it's a matter of time
00:31:12before singles championship gold is in its way.
00:31:16That's the code of honor, Rick Abadi.
00:31:17Well, credit where credit's due.
00:31:19Brian Cage, victorious.
00:31:22Last Saturday was wild.
00:31:23A bunkhouse brawling collision.
00:31:28It's not any match.
00:31:29It's a bunkhouse brawl.
00:31:31Kendo sticks, ladders, tables, we got it all.
00:31:35I just get amazed, man.
00:31:36You say this is the one last ride,
00:31:37but I feel like you're gonna be doing this longer than me.
00:31:40If you talk about a bunkhouse match,
00:31:42you really gotta focus on the natural destiny road.
00:31:45My family has kind of been born
00:31:47and bred into bunkhouse matches.
00:31:50We knew we were in store for unmitigated violence.
00:31:55Since my father's death,
00:31:57my mom, she gave me something that my father wore every day.
00:32:02The belt on his hand now, oh!
00:32:04So it was a very special night for me to bring this out.
00:32:11I'm 55 and you're so young and spry.
00:32:14Thank God you can do all the crazy stuff.
00:32:16What have we just witnessed?
00:32:19Everybody in Springfield on their feet.
00:32:23We are the favorite sons of Texas, right?
00:32:25That's right.
00:32:26Right?
00:32:27Hell yeah.
00:32:28I think I'm gonna go get some stitches.
00:32:35It was certainly wild last Saturday
00:32:37and things might be getting even wilder here.
00:32:40Some dissension between the world champ and her minions.
00:32:46This tag team match is set for one fall
00:32:48of a 20 minute time limit.
00:32:49Team number one, the team of Billie Stunt
00:32:54and the Ring of Honor Women's World Champion,
00:32:59the fallen goddess Athena.
00:33:05Well, it seemed to me at the emergency man
00:33:09that Billie Stark's Caprice gained some confidence
00:33:11to speak up about her standing,
00:33:14her relationship with the Women's World Champion,
00:33:16but that Athena really wasn't ready to hear it.
00:33:19Yeah, sometimes you see what you wanna see,
00:33:21but I see they got matching outfits.
00:33:23I like that.
00:33:25Perhaps on the same page as we go back to Bobby Crews
00:33:28for their opponents.
00:33:29Their opponents, the team of Christina Marie and LMK.
00:33:35LMK, kind of a cult favorite here on the left in ROH.
00:33:39Yeah, I heard she's got a lot of eyes on her.
00:33:43Christina Marie.
00:33:45By my research, making her Ring of Honor debut,
00:33:48great to see continual new faces,
00:33:50always looking for the best talent.
00:33:52This is not a debut of little mean Kathleen, though.
00:33:54No, LMK in the house.
00:33:57And even Billie Stark's the body language.
00:34:00I don't wanna read too much into it.
00:34:01Yeah, I mean, we all see that Billie Stark's
00:34:05at a point where she's having to stand up for herself.
00:34:07Sometimes you have to do that.
00:34:08You can stand up for yourself,
00:34:09but still be friends with somebody.
00:34:11That's true.
00:34:13Bell rings, and we are on.
00:34:17Big forearm here.
00:34:19Billie Stark's has been kicking it in the gym
00:34:21in her downtime, though.
00:34:22She's been playing AEW bigger players, the new mobile game,
00:34:25where you control the action,
00:34:26collect 3D animated versions of your favorite AEW wrestlers.
00:34:31But maybe she shouldn't be playing as much of that game.
00:34:34Right now, Christina Marie taking advantage
00:34:38of Billie Stark's, oh, that's the short cut.
00:34:42Billie Stark's is not shy of.
00:34:44Nice German suplex release there.
00:34:47You can see the attention change
00:34:49and the attitude change right there.
00:34:52Now I'm almost used to it.
00:34:53I'm not surprised anymore as she tags in.
00:34:56The most days, most offenses, Ring of Honor,
00:35:01the most champions ever, Athena.
00:35:03Well, dump to the outside, Christina Marie.
00:35:08For the world champion, shots to the midsection.
00:35:10Look at Christina Marie stepping up to the plate.
00:35:12Yeah.
00:35:15Oh, my goodness.
00:35:16Gee, Marie hit her head and back
00:35:20on those guardrails with the body.
00:35:22It reminds me of the match that many people point back to.
00:35:26Daddy Magic and I called it in Toronto,
00:35:30where it seemed like something in Athena snapped
00:35:32and put her on this trajectory to begin with.
00:35:36That trajectory has allowed her to be champion
00:35:39longer than any other person
00:35:41in the history of Ring of Honor.
00:35:45The taunt, look at that.
00:35:48Man, who is like Athena?
00:35:51Yeah, coming within an inch of tagging.
00:35:55The mental and physical game on point as the tag is made.
00:35:58Billy Starks now, and you mentioned earlier,
00:36:01you're not surprised about the actions of Billy Starks,
00:36:04but it's amazing.
00:36:07It's amazing just how much of the Athena playbook
00:36:09Billy Starks has adapted and made it her own.
00:36:12Yeah, but watch this.
00:36:15One, two.
00:36:17It seems to be who Billy Starks is now.
00:36:19You can see what a disrespect she had on her mother
00:36:21when winning the television title, cheating and all.
00:36:24It's just who she is now.
00:36:26We just have to accept it.
00:36:27We have to get past it.
00:36:28She's one of the youngest women on the roster.
00:36:31This is who Billy Starks is.
00:36:33And a chin lock, the knee into the spine.
00:36:36LMK trying to get Christina Marie back in this,
00:36:40trying to get some noise going, get the crowd going,
00:36:42the adrenaline pumping, shots to the midsection.
00:36:44Christina Marie, oh, sent back down.
00:36:47The Irish whip gets it into the corner, charging in.
00:36:49No one home, rolls through.
00:36:52Oh, I thought she was gonna go to the corner,
00:36:54went to the middle instead.
00:36:56Very close.
00:36:58Whoa!
00:36:58Just to give her space.
00:36:59Christina needs to make the tag
00:37:01to go to mean Kathleen.
00:37:02And she does!
00:37:03Tag made!
00:37:04But Athena in two, LMK!
00:37:07Clothesline on the champion!
00:37:10LMK in crowd favor, we talked about it.
00:37:15Makes the most of her opportunities, very memorable.
00:37:17Oh!
00:37:18Yeah!
00:37:19Taking it to the chair.
00:37:23I didn't see that coming.
00:37:26Look at LMK!
00:37:30Tell you what, man, Athena out of nowhere
00:37:32with that power kick, but look at the shape
00:37:34Athena has gotten herself into as well.
00:37:38Absolutely.
00:37:39Athena with LMK.
00:37:43Just has LMK at will, Christina like, what is the, what?
00:37:47That's what I was talking about.
00:37:49Oh!
00:37:52Dino Bravo side slam!
00:37:56With the Hungarian torture rack combo.
00:38:00Nobody has to tell you you're good
00:38:02when you know it, Rick Abad.
00:38:03And Athena knows it.
00:38:04Watch this for Billy Starks.
00:38:06Whoa!
00:38:08Inside out, satellite DDT.
00:38:10No matter whether you like her or not,
00:38:12Billy Starks is always impressive.
00:38:16Oh, geez!
00:38:18And they are thriving in this chaos
00:38:19on the same page, rolls through.
00:38:23That's the Hussie Clutch!
00:38:24That's the Hussie Clutch!
00:38:26The Hussie, the Hussie Clutch!
00:38:28Yeah, and that's it!
00:38:32The winners of this match by submission,
00:38:34the team of Billy Starks
00:38:36and the Ring of Honor Women's World Champion, Athena!
00:38:43Athena says she can break all the course
00:38:45of the Hussies with the Hussie Clutch.
00:38:47Wow!
00:38:49Athena, Billy Starks, when things got chaotic,
00:38:53they went back into the groove they found before.
00:38:56And now again.
00:38:59And here I thought Billy was maybe gonna snap
00:39:02out of things.
00:39:04Or at least-
00:39:05They seem to be on the same page, if you ask me.
00:39:06Yeah.
00:39:08Whoa!
00:39:09Whoa, whoa, whoa!
00:39:10Oh, here they come!
00:39:16Are they here?
00:39:16They are!
00:39:18It's Abadon!
00:39:20They're back!
00:39:22Victorious earlier tonight!
00:39:27And you heard Athena.
00:39:29She's almost using Billy like a safety blanket.
00:39:31Athena not retreating,
00:39:33knowing the two-on-one odds are in her favor.
00:39:40No, she's abandoning Billy!
00:39:42Wait a second!
00:39:43The world champion has abandoned Billy Starks!
00:39:46And Athena says,
00:39:47I'm gonna have you back two against one.
00:39:50I don't think that math is-
00:39:52And Billy, discovering the champion has left!
00:39:56Billy wrestled the majority of that match!
00:40:04Billy's the less special of the two!
00:40:06I gotta shine my belt!
00:40:07Oh!
00:40:08Shining!
00:40:10Athena prioritizing shining the belt
00:40:13over saving a woman that has stood by her side
00:40:18for almost two years now!
00:40:20With friends like this, who needs enemies, Ricki Bonnie?
00:40:23She left me!
00:40:25For me, all for me!
00:40:26What?
00:40:27And Abadon, I don't blame Billy for retreating
00:40:31after the cowardly actions of Athena!
00:40:37Starks needs new friends.
00:40:39The dichotomy is stark!
00:40:43No, I'm not scared!
00:40:45I need to shine my championship!
00:40:48Athena!
00:40:49I can shine it with your blood!
00:40:51Cool.
00:40:52Wow, shining with your blood?
00:40:54Athena is willing to defend that title against anyone!
00:40:56Run away!
00:40:58And yet, runs away!
00:41:00Told you I was gonna get her!

00:41:35We head to the voice of Ring of Honor, Bobby Crews.
00:41:39This match is set for one fall day, 20 minute time limit.
00:41:42Introducing first,
00:41:43wrestling of Los Angeles, California,
00:41:46weighing 214 pounds,
00:41:48Johnny T.V.
00:41:51Come on!
00:41:51Is that a new jacket, Caprice?
00:41:53We haven't seen that in a while.
00:41:54It's a new jacket.
00:41:55It's a new look.
00:41:56It's a new look.
00:41:57It's a new look.
00:41:58It's a new look.
00:41:58It's a new look.
00:41:59It's a new look.
00:42:00It's a new look.
00:42:01It's a new look.
00:42:02It's a new look.
00:42:03It's a new look.
00:42:04Caprice, we haven't seen that yet on ROH.
00:42:07Johnny T.V. has wardrobe rip-off.
00:42:10You get who this man is, he's made for TV.
00:42:13He could have had that jacket made right before this.
00:42:16Well, Johnny T.V.,
00:42:18top contender for the Ring of Honor World Championship.
00:42:20We've seen a lot of Mark Briscoe on Dynamite.
00:42:23Collision, the conglomeration running strong.
00:42:26Johnny T.V., his eyes on that championship to this day.
00:42:31We'll make his fingers, by your absence,
00:42:33Taya Valkyrie, part of that made-for-TV couple,
00:42:35but I tried to interview her earlier.
00:42:38I sometimes feel like kissing myself.
00:42:41What?
00:42:41Kissing himself?
00:42:42He says sometimes he feels like kissing himself.
00:42:44Well, Taya was with former Ring of Honor
00:42:46World Champion, Deanna Purrazzo.
00:42:49His opponent, being accompanied by the hype man,
00:42:53Alex Abrejates.
00:42:55Retroverde Nosa, Tamaulipas, Mexico.
00:43:00Weighing 162 pounds, Commander!
00:43:06Commander, I'll never forget, Caprice,
00:43:10when I was flying the Supercar to Vahner,
00:43:13and I got a text somehow that came through on the plane.
00:43:15They said, Commander versus Elio Del Vekingo
00:43:18was added to the pay-per-view.
00:43:21It was the first time we ever got to call a Commander match.
00:43:24From that moment on,
00:43:26this man has been lightning in a bottle.
00:43:28He is a special athlete, and tonight,
00:43:31facing a man who can probably keep up
00:43:34with his speed and agility,
00:43:36and maybe even as sure-footed as Commander is.
00:43:39Yeah, and also admitted that Rukabani,
00:43:42when the flight attendant says,
00:43:43turn off the phones, Rukabani says, nope, no.
00:43:47I bought that extra plan that trip,
00:43:49but just in case, I knew there was gonna be matches added,
00:43:51because that's the amazing thing about ROH,
00:43:53the amazing thing about AEW,
00:43:55that's why you need to be there live,
00:43:57because we know-
00:43:58Is Johnny TV's, is his gear lighting up?
00:44:02Is it?
00:44:03Or is that reflections?
00:44:05Wow, it wouldn't surprise me either way.
00:44:08He's like wearing a Christmas tree.
00:44:11Tell you what, I saw,
00:44:13as the bells called for those Halloween decorations,
00:44:15oh, already being moved out of the way
00:44:17for Christmas stuff already.
00:44:21Maybe Johnny TV added some of those accents off the ropes.
00:44:23Commander looking through the legs.
00:44:25Wow, shoulder tackle there.
00:44:28Johnny TV in ultimate control of his body at all times.
00:44:33Watching this guy work out, man,
00:44:34he's a master of calisthenics.
00:44:38Off the ropes, not great exchange.
00:44:40Oh my goodness, the timing of Johnny TV.
00:44:43I bet you his pants got batteries in them.
00:44:47I never had battery pants,
00:44:48do I need to get some of those?
00:44:50No, I don't think so, Mr. Body,
00:44:51you find a way to get it executed, I know you.
00:44:54Well, you're probably not wrong.
00:44:57I just talked to Trash, John Morrison,
00:45:00the only man that had blood that got colored, so to speak,
00:45:06at ROH, look at this, around the world,
00:45:08oh, it's a wristlock takeover.
00:45:12Though much Commander has to offer with his athleticism
00:45:15in the ring and the balance that he has,
00:45:18but the balance of Johnny TV, undeniable.
00:45:22Around the world, look at that,
00:45:23look at how fast Commander is.
00:45:25Commander went around the world twice.
00:45:29Johnny TV has a good guy with stays in his own.
00:45:34Look at this, around the world, whoa.
00:45:41Wow, nice sunset flip, up and around.
00:45:44Looking for the shining wizard,
00:45:45Commander pops back up, wow, big knee.
00:45:48And everything Commander has tried to do
00:45:50from an offensive perspective has been shot down.
00:45:53That's what happens when you're wrestling a veteran
00:45:56that has seen it before.
00:46:00Seen it before, been there, done that,
00:46:01and can do it himself.
00:46:04You spot it, Bukabane.
00:46:05And this is almost a single arm straight jacket here
00:46:09from Johnny TV.
00:46:12Still around the carotid arteries.
00:46:14It's a self sleeper, light maneuver
00:46:15where the bicep and the wrist of Commander
00:46:18is choking himself like an air choke.
00:46:23And Commander trying to get the hips up,
00:46:25trying to get some movement going.
00:46:26You hear the crowd, Alex Abrahante is rallying.
00:46:30Commander, and now the shots in the midsection.
00:46:34Oh, sent back down.
00:46:40And Johnny TV, oh, on that neck again.
00:46:43He's found a weak point here.
00:46:46Johnny TV, a student of the game, watches a lot of tape.
00:46:49He must have seen something,
00:46:50in one of Commander's recent matches.
00:46:53Maybe even last night at Arthur Ashe
00:46:56to indicate that neck is an issue.
00:46:58Sometimes you just find what works,
00:47:00and when you see it, you continue with that target.
00:47:02You see right now, Johnny TV stalking Commander.
00:47:05Commander losing the focus,
00:47:07not knowing where the attack is coming from
00:47:08as Johnny TV changes angles.
00:47:14Oh, what is he saying now?
00:47:16That was a quick angle change right there, man.
00:47:19It's beautiful to watch athletes change angles.
00:47:23And it's so quick on his feet, holding onto the robes.
00:47:26And Brandon Martinez counting, giving him five.
00:47:29I mean, that's within the rules.
00:47:36And just wearing down the windpipe,
00:47:37the oxygen of Johnny TV here.
00:47:40That's got to be the most expensive gear
00:47:42anybody has ever worn in the ring.
00:47:45You are really impressed by this gear.
00:47:47I can't be the only one blinded by all this shadow.
00:47:50He got that drip, Rick, about it.
00:47:53But Commander has the skills to get out of that,
00:47:56off the ropes.
00:47:57Commander now, looking to rally back.
00:47:58Holds onto the ropes.
00:47:59Kick to the hamstring,
00:48:02bringing that involuntary reaction.
00:48:04And the forearm connects,
00:48:05and Commander rallying back here.
00:48:08You can see Johnny TV staggering.
00:48:10That attack might've been what was needed.
00:48:12Leg caught, Commander on his feet.
00:48:15Still shaking, though.
00:48:16Yeah, that left leg.
00:48:18TV's hobbling to the outside.
00:48:21Sweeps the legs.
00:48:24My goodness.
00:48:25Commander swept the leg of Johnny TV.
00:48:28Johnny TV flipped on the outside, landed on his feet.
00:48:32And now Johnny TV hooks the inside leg, too.
00:48:37Johnny TV is so smooth.
00:48:41Commander's got a two-match winning streak here in ROH.
00:48:47We've seen some team with A.R. Fox two weeks ago.
00:48:52Before that, took on the Mountain of a Man K.M.
00:48:55Much different opponent here tonight.
00:48:58So you were blocking all the defense that Commander has
00:49:00and laying right in, like you said,
00:49:02on the neck of Commander.
00:49:04Those forearms straight to the neck.
00:49:07The target may be the neck, like you said, Rick, about it.
00:49:11Yeah, for TV, it's just been read, react, get the neck.
00:49:15And it's been working thus far.
00:49:17He's trusting himself to play defense,
00:49:20turn that defense into offense.
00:49:23Yeah, Commander needs to listen to his back to protect the neck.
00:49:27That's right.
00:49:29Wu-Tang is for the children,
00:49:32but he might need something out of their catalog
00:49:36to get him motivated, to get him moving here.
00:49:37Shots to the solar plexus, the obliques.
00:49:40Yeah, to Johnny TV, ain't nothing to mess with.
00:49:42No, he's not. Look at that.
00:49:43Oh, almost pulled a Lisa Stansfield one around the world.
00:49:48And look at this. It is Commander's springboard.
00:49:51Whoa! Whoa! Wow!
00:49:56And look at that, the twisting.
00:49:58Hurricanrana. Commander follows it up.
00:50:01Knew he got a lot of it, but not all of it.
00:50:04Smart move to keep on Johnny TV.
00:50:07Commander is dazed.
00:50:10Commander equilibrium is off and is able to see it.
00:50:14Johnny TV is catching on to it as well.
00:50:16That's why he's changing directions.
00:50:18Whoa! Whoa! Whoa!
00:50:19Wow!
00:50:23Risking life and limb in our main event.
00:50:25Commander diving to the outside.
00:50:32Unbelievable.
00:50:34That was what Commander needed to get back in control,
00:50:37but you could definitely see Commander
00:50:39is culpabilated.
00:50:40Hooks the leg, cover.
00:50:41Two!
00:50:43Commander likes to hook that inside leg.
00:50:46Look at the eyes of Commander,
00:50:49trying to figure out where he is.
00:50:53You can tell Commander, his body is there, Caprice.
00:50:57I think you're absolutely right.
00:50:59The mind, the balance, a little bit off
00:51:01from the beating he absorbed.
00:51:03If he can get his legs underneath him,
00:51:05he could win this match.
00:51:10Not as sure-footed as normal.
00:51:12Johnny TV picking up on that.
00:51:13Whoa!
00:51:14My goodness.
00:51:15360 neck breaker twice.
00:51:19The cover, inside leg.
00:51:20Two and in!
00:51:22720, not enough for Commander.
00:51:26Alex Everante is on the outside,
00:51:28trying to get the crowd charged up.
00:51:31Trying to get some energy going.
00:51:34Johnny TV on the doorstep,
00:51:36the precipice of victory here.
00:51:40Two!
00:51:40Oh, geez, that knee.
00:51:42He looked for it earlier,
00:51:43couldn't get it that time.
00:51:44He does torsion pain!
00:51:47Ground control to Major Tom!
00:51:50Look at that.
00:51:51Oh, no and home!
00:51:52No and home!
00:51:53Yeah, he's spent too much time
00:51:55pattering to the crowd.
00:51:56Commander going home.
00:51:58Feels at home in the air.
00:52:00Let's see if he's able to pull it off.
00:52:02Oh, no!
00:52:03TV!
00:52:04TV right with him!
00:52:05Spanish fly!
00:52:07Spanish fly!
00:52:08Two!
00:52:09Wow!
00:52:11The balance, the strength,
00:52:13the precision needed to pull that off!
00:52:16And the heart!
00:52:18Wow!
00:52:19Capitalizing on the imbalance of Commander.
00:52:23And it's TV.
00:52:24TV, torture rack position.
00:52:26Torture rack, around, caught!
00:52:30Mexican destroyer from the torture rack position!
00:52:34TV's out on his feet!
00:52:36Springboard!
00:52:38Poison rata!
00:52:42TV is down!
00:52:45And Commander!
00:52:48Looking to finish things off!
00:52:52The beauty!
00:52:52Guy walking in the balance!
00:52:55That'll do it, Rick Gabbani!
00:52:57I'll promise you that much!
00:53:00The winner of this match, Commander!
00:53:05Sensational victory!
00:53:07For Commander in our main event here tonight!
00:53:11Standing tall, victorious!
00:53:14Hard fought, well earned!
00:53:17And what a night of action we've seen here tonight.
00:53:21Commander!

00:54:27Introducing first, the challenger,
00:54:29wrestling at Detroit, Michigan.
00:54:31Weighing 240 pounds, Preston Banks!
00:54:37Preston Banks, who is undefeated in ROH,
00:54:41making an interesting decision,
00:54:42jumping head first into the pure division, Caprice.
00:54:46Yeah, come in hot, taking that heat,
00:54:50challenging for the pure title and he gets that challenge.
00:54:54Against a man who's ready to defend against anyone.
00:54:58His opponent, accompanied by Shane Taylor,
00:55:01wrestling out of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
00:55:04Weighing 199 pounds, he is representing Shane
00:55:08Taylor Promotions and he is the Ring of Honor
00:55:12pure wrestling champion,
00:55:15Tagasty Lee Moriarty!
00:55:21Lee Moriarty, the 15th Ring of Honor pure champion
00:55:24by number, the 13th individual to hold that championship.
00:55:28And Lee can start getting into rarefied air
00:55:31the longer he holds that title,
00:55:33been willing to defend it,
00:55:35been willing to have proven ground bouts.
00:55:38I'll tell you what, this is an interesting matchup.
00:55:41Yeah, the title, Caprice, let's briefly review the rules.
00:55:45You get three rope bricks.
00:55:47After you exhaust the rope bricks,
00:55:49you can be pinned, cemented on between,
00:55:51underneath the ropes.
00:55:52You get one closed fist to the face,
00:55:54the second results in an automatic,
00:55:55it's called the one-two.
00:55:56The second results in an automatic disqualification,
00:55:5920 count on the outside.
00:56:00A count-out results in a change of a title.
00:56:03Should the challenger be victorious
00:56:06in the count-out situation?
00:56:07No outside interference.
00:56:08That results in an immediate disqualification,
00:56:11suspension, and a title changing hands.
00:56:14Code of Honor adhered to.
00:56:15And if we go the 60 minutes, if we go the time limit,
00:56:18we head to the judges.
00:56:19You see Jerry Lynn, Christopher Daniels,
00:56:21Jimmy Jacobs, two former world champs,
00:56:22and Jimmy, five times over former Ring of Honor tag champ.
00:56:27And the strength of Preston Vance immediately
00:56:33could showing itself as a factor here.
00:56:35Yeah, I don't know anybody as strong
00:56:37in the period of vision as Preston Vance,
00:56:39other than Josh Woods.
00:56:40And Josh Woods, a born wrestler,
00:56:43this is gonna be a different game here
00:56:45to see what Moriarty does against this power wrestler here
00:56:48in Preston Vance.
00:56:49And I like to see all wrestlers in the period of vision.
00:56:52And now let's see what the power wrestler does
00:56:55if Vance is able to hold on to the rules
00:56:56of the period of vision.
00:56:57And does it work in his favor?
00:56:59Oh, nice shoulder tackle there.
00:57:00We've seen some surprises cover, like on Helico.
00:57:04Yeah.
00:57:05You know, we assumed could do it,
00:57:07and that turned out to be amazing in the period of vision.
00:57:10Sometimes the period of vision is made for
00:57:12the lighter wrestlers because you take away the fist,
00:57:14you take away the brutality of wrestling,
00:57:17and it favors you.
00:57:18But a big power wrestler,
00:57:20I'm not sure how much it would favor.
00:57:22And almost looking at Moriarty
00:57:25to see what he would have to do against somebody like Vance.
00:57:27I want to see what Moriarty has to pull out of himself.
00:57:29Oh, wait a minute.
00:57:30And the ropes here, and the ropes.
00:57:32Vance not letting go.
00:57:34Yeah, but it's gonna count against him.
00:57:35You tried to pin him.
00:57:36That's not appropriate.
00:57:37What? Oh, okay.
00:57:39Whoa!
00:57:40Wait a minute.
00:57:41It's a public warning.
00:57:42It's a public warning.
00:57:43You used your fist.
00:57:44Preston Vance has been issued a warning
00:57:46for the use of a closed fist strike to the face.
00:57:48Okay, so great discretion there.
00:57:50Let's explain what happened there, Caprice,
00:57:51as Preston Vance.
00:57:53It was a defensive maneuver.
00:57:56It was in play, in motion.
00:57:57Stephon Smith saying that the O'Connor roll
00:58:00was blocked using the ropes.
00:58:01It does not count, but the closed fist certainly does.
00:58:03So Vance could cost himself a title
00:58:06if he used another closed fist.
00:58:09Tell you what, Stephon is one of the greatest referees
00:58:12in the world.
00:58:13That was a great call.
00:58:13Absolutely.
00:58:14We see that brace on the left knee,
00:58:16camera right of Preston Vance.
00:58:19It does not seem to be slowing him down
00:58:21on these charges into the corner,
00:58:22but the clothesline misses there.
00:58:24Sometimes those braces is just for confidence, Riccoboni.
00:58:27Cassadora.
00:58:29It's like the one I had on
00:58:30when I won my triathlon this weekend.
00:58:33Nice wheelbarrow drill and suplex there.
00:58:35Yeah, we know you had a huge injury on your knee
00:58:37that definitely needed protection.
00:58:40That's right.
00:58:40So grateful that you're recovering well, Riccoboni.
00:58:43I appreciate that, Caprice.
00:58:44It was very scary as Preston Vance on the outside.
00:58:48Oh, goodness!
00:58:50It's driving the champ into the barricade.
00:58:52I'll tell you what, this is legal.
00:58:54100% legal.
00:58:57Oh, my goodness.
00:58:58I assure you that Moriarty is not used to this
00:59:01in the peer division,
00:59:02but like you said, Riccoboni, it is legal.
00:59:05We just don't have athletes that are able to pull this off
00:59:08in the division light fence is.
00:59:11You're absolutely right.
00:59:11Shades of his former confidant, Roosh,
00:59:14former Ring of Honor world champion.
00:59:16Oh, my goodness.
00:59:17And we haven't seen it much.
00:59:20It's the powerhouses.
00:59:21You're right, because normally,
00:59:24when you get into these matches,
00:59:26I think everybody tries to wrestle
00:59:27as maybe a style that's not theirs.
00:59:30If you, whoa!
00:59:30If you stay true to yourself
00:59:32and you wrestle as a power wrestler,
00:59:33you might be successful, like Vance has been this way.
00:59:36That may be the definition of peer.
00:59:38Peer is who you are.
00:59:39Being a peer, who you are,
00:59:41is showing the world that you're a wrestler.
00:59:44Oh!
00:59:45Beautiful flat liner into the second turnbuckle there.
00:59:48Yeah, I think if Moriarty's saying
00:59:49you can use the outside as a weapon,
00:59:51I can use the inside as a weapon.
00:59:52Very smart move by Moriarty,
00:59:54regaining control as the champion.
00:59:57Crushing the head.
00:59:58Two, three, four.
01:00:01Vance.
01:00:03And Stephon, I like Stephon giving the leeway on the ropes.
01:00:09Front face lock there.
01:00:10Oh!
01:00:12As the float over, two.
01:00:14That front chantry had a lot of weight behind it.
01:00:16Rick O'Bannon calls him, Vance to land on his head.
01:00:19Look how much trouble Moriarty's having
01:00:21trying to close this lock here.
01:00:25And yeah, Vance has to go to the ropes.
01:00:27That is rope break number one used by Preston Vance.
01:00:30So Moriarty trying to close that wrist lock,
01:00:32but the power of Vance was not allowing it.
01:00:34And as a student of the game as Moriarty is,
01:00:37Preston Vance, who when he was freaking into wrestling,
01:00:41tore his bicep off the bone, it was a long-term injury.
01:00:45And he could know that.
01:00:46Wait a minute, Vance.
01:00:47Vance just powers himself out of submission moves.
01:00:51Oh, but has to go to the ropes.
01:00:52That is rope break number two used by Preston Vance.
01:00:57Now this is where the rules may be working
01:00:59in the favor of the champion,
01:01:01who knows the rules very well
01:01:03and have used them in his favor.
01:01:05Oh, but Vance, knife edge chop.
01:01:07He's gotta be careful of using those forearms.
01:01:09Great job there by Vance, off the ropes.
01:01:12He's got one more rope break.
01:01:13He has no more closed fists.
01:01:14Roll up, two.
01:01:16Stack roll over.
01:01:18Oh, looking for the border city.
01:01:22Every time Moriarty tries to lock in a submission move,
01:01:25Vance is outpowering Moriarty.
01:01:28Moriarty's gonna have to change his game plan.
01:01:31Up and over.
01:01:32I love the way Vance got to that table position.
01:01:35Big clothesline sends Moriarty down.
01:01:38Yeah, Moriarty's gonna have to dig deep.
01:01:40He's gonna have to change something up.
01:01:42Big back elbow.
01:01:43And this is where the period of vision comes to the best
01:01:44where you can change game plan.
01:01:46Mid-action, what a beautiful shoulder block
01:01:48off the second rope.
01:01:50Yes, indeed, it's Vance now.
01:01:53From the clutch position into the corner.
01:01:56Big boot.
01:01:59And Vance!
01:02:02The power of Vance is undeniable
01:02:06and may be the kryptonite of the period of vision.
01:02:11And it is Vance.
01:02:13Looking for the lariat, no one home.
01:02:17And again, Moriarty around the world.
01:02:20Oh, he's got the fingers locked.
01:02:21Moriarty's trapped by the octopus.
01:02:22Vance has got the fingers locked, though.
01:02:24That pulldown's in.
01:02:25Yeah, but Moriarty's trying to break it.
01:02:27Oh!
01:02:29That is rope break number one used by Lee Moriarty.
01:02:32Back elbow, though.
01:02:34Avoids the clean break.
01:02:36Separation now.
01:02:37Oh, oh, discus lariat plants Moriarty down.
01:02:44Definitely discombobulating Moriarty,
01:02:46but Moriarty knowing where he is,
01:02:47choosing the road to the outside of the ring.
01:02:50That shows Moriarty's in a lot of trouble.
01:02:56And look at Vance trying to bring Moriarty in.
01:03:00Over the top.
01:03:02That was a setup.
01:03:04This is a game change right here.
01:03:07Yep.
01:03:08Oh, and around the world.
01:03:08Oh, Moriarty!
01:03:09Nice face buster.
01:03:10Stepping through.
01:03:13Lamai shrold two.
01:03:14Got him!
01:03:15Got it!
01:03:18The winner of this match,
01:03:19and still Ring of Honor pure wrestling champion,
01:03:23taga style, Lee Moriarty!
01:03:27You never want to turn down a title match,
01:03:29a title opportunity.
01:03:31But it's Moriarty who has mastered the rules
01:03:34and the skillset of the pure division.
01:03:37That led him to victory here tonight, Caprice.
01:03:39That was some beautiful wrestling,
01:03:40whether you like it or not, by Lee Moriarty.
01:03:43Moriarty doing what he needs to do to retain that title.
01:03:46Got ambushed on the outside of the ring.
01:03:49He had to do what he needed to do.
01:03:50It retains the pure championship.
01:03:53For Caprice Coleman, I'm Anderick Abadi.
01:03:55Happy wrestling, everybody!
