Slim J vs. Dalton Castle

Castle’s entrance is just aces. Apparently the baby chicks are bulked up versions of the Boys. Who need to be fed. Castle is in the TV title hunt, but wasn’t in the TV eliminator tournament that will be decided in tonight’s main event.

The match was mostly basic until Slim J hit a springboard dropkick from the middle rope. Slim J almost launched himself into the Banarang, but got to the ropes to escape. Castle caught Slim J with a running knee on the apron that sent him to the floor. Back in the ring, Castle got a couple of high double leg takedowns and the Banarang to get the pinfall.

Winner: Dalton Castle via Pinfall.

Backstage: Smart Mark Sterling, Tony Nese

In the back, Tony Nese and “Smart” Mark Sterling decline the opportunity to wrestle Pat Buck later, but will instead hold an “Obesity Intervention.”

The Iron Savages (Bronson & Boulder) vs. Lucky Ali & Brady Pierce

The Iron Savages are formerly known as Bear Bronson and Bear Boulder, aka Bear Country, one of my favorite teams from the Jacksonville Dark days.

Bronson escaped a hangman’s neckbreaker and hit a spinning powerslam on Ali. He then got the “savaage sauce” from Jameson (something in one of these shake mixer bottles) and went crazy. The Savages went on to dominate the match with sheer power. Boulder dropped Bronson from his shoulders onto Ali to get the pinfall. Fun squash.

Winner: The Iron Savages via Pinfall.

The Infantry (Charlie Bravo & Capt. Shawn Dean) vs. Zickey Dice & Movie Myk

Shawn Dean caught Myk with some sweet-looking deep arm drags early on. Dean caught Mye with a spinning DDT, and then a big boot into a Russian legsweek finished off Myk. 

Winner: The Infantry via Pinfall.

Backstage: Leyla Hirsch, Maria Kanellis

Lexi Nair interviewed Leyla Hirsch, who wants a shot at the Ring of Honor Championship. Maria Kanellis interrupted; Kanellis thought Hirsch could use more confidence and will be watching her match tonight.

Lee Moriarty vs. Andre Everett

Everett has competed in ROH before, but this is his Honor Club debut. Everett looked pretty good in the opening minutes. Moriarty caught Everett with an arm ringer and stomped him down to take control. Moriarty tied Everett up in the ropes and worked over his injured leg. Moriarty worked over Everett’s arm and got a near fall with a front chancery suplex into a bridge. Everett came back and hit a falcon arrow for a near fall. Everett went for a shooting star press off the top, but Moriarty got out of the way. He hit a clothesline, gave Everett an airplane spin into the Border City Stretch. Moriarty got the submission.

Winner: Lee Moriarty via Submission.

Tony Nese vs. Pat Buck

There are rough 1,600 guys on the rosters between ROH and AEW, so I’m not sure why Pat Buck is getting a match. Rese canceled the rest of Ring of Honor in favor of group fitness training. Nese led the crowd through exercises, until Pat Buck came out for their match.

Rese insulted the Waffle House in his pre-match rantings, so that inspired various waffle-related chants from the crowd. This match did nothing for me. Nese hit a springboard moonsault for a near fall. Buck came back and hit a sky high for a near fall. Buck set up a powerbomb, but Nese transitioned into a cradle for a near fall. Nese hit a running knee in the corner and got the pinfall. This felt like forever. 

Winner: Tony Nese via Pinfall.

Backstage: The WorkHorsemen, Prince Nana, Gates of Agony

The Workhorsemen are confronted by Prince Nana and the Gates of Agony. If the Workhorsemen win, they get a six man title shot with a partner of their choosing.

ROH Women’s World Championship Proving Ground Match
Rachael Ellering vs. Athena

Had Ellering won, she would have received an ROH Women’s title match.

Ellering got a slam and a senton for a near fall. Athena missed a standing moonsault, but cut off Ellering with a running forearm. Athena sent Ellering to the floor and followed up with a dropkick. On the floor, Athena tossed Ellering into the commentary table and the guardrails. Back in the ring, Athena locked ina cravat which wore Ellering down.

Ellering broke free of the cravat and mounted a comeback. She hit a boot, a spinning elbow and a slingblade. Ellering hit a black hole slam for a near fall. Ellering went up to the middle rope, but Athena yanked her down. Athena hit the O-face and got the pinfall. 

Winner: Athena via Pinfall.

The WorkHorsemen (Anthony Henry & JD Drake) vs. The Gates of Agony (Toa Liona & Bishop Kaun)

Henry came off the top with a dropkick on Loa, who no sold it and floored Henry with a clothesline. Eventually, both Henry and Drake were laid out on the floor. Henry avoided a countout loss, but got worked over by the Gates of Agony in the corner. Khan hit a uranage into a backbreaker for a near fall. Tonga Loa got a near fall after a running senton. Drake finally got a hot tag and rallied for his team.

Drake hit Kaun with a black hole slam for a near fall. Drake took out both the Gates of Agony with a plancha. Henry came off the top with a splash on Kaun for a near fall. Drake held Kaun in position for a doublestomp from Kaun, but Kaun very awkwardly crawled halfway to the ropes with Henry on top of him to get his foot on the rope. Henry missed a moonsault off the middle ropes, and Loa and Kaun planted him face first to the mat and got the pinfall. Whoever thought this needed 11 minutes is insane. 

Winner: The Gates of Agony via Pinfall.

Backstage: Cole Karter, Maria Kanellis

Cole Karter was interviewed backstage claiming that he belied that Maria Kanellis had the “hots for me” last week over her showing up during his match. Kanellis interrupted causing Karter to act all giddy and stated that she would watch his match later tonight.

Leyla Hirsch defeated Angelica Risk

Kanellis watched this match from the entrance stage. Hirsch dominated this match and made Risk tap out to the armbar.

Winner: Leyla Hirsch via Submission.

Backstage: Athena

Athena confirmed with Lexi Nair that she is the face of ROH, and Athena took Lexi with her to look for more women to beat up.

Rhett Titus vs. Cole Karter

Titus missed a dropkick, and Karter hit one of his own. Maria Kanellis came out to entrance ramp to scout Karter as well. Karter tried a chinlock, but Titus escaped and hit a double underhook suplex. Titus worked over Karter’s back and hit a lariat. Karter has looked decidedly unimpressive since Kanellis came out. Titus hit a dropkick for a near fall. Karter came back with a flying knee, then finished off Titus with an overhead backbreaker into a DDT.

Winner: Cole Karter via Pinfall.

Robyn Renegade vs. Billie Starkz

Starkz is a teenage prodigy. Starkz went up to the top, but Charlette pushed her off the top rope while Robyn distracted the referee. Robyn hit a shotgun dropkick and a running boot in the corner. Renegade choked Starkz in the ropes and sent her down to the mat headfirst. Starkz came back with an enziguri and a hook kick. Starkz hit a Gory bomb for a near fall. Renegade drove Starkz into the mat headfirst for a near fall. Starkz dumped Robyn to the floor and hit both Renegade twins with a plancha. Back in the ring, Starkz hit a swanton bomb for the pinfall.

Winner: Billie Starkz via Pinfall.

After the match, Charlette ran in and double-teamed Starkz with her sister. Athena came out and took out Robyn with a boot, then laid out Charlette with a forearm. Athena then set up Starkz to drive her headfirst into the World Women’s title belt, but thinks better of it and leaves Starkz alone. 

Backstage: Josh Woods, Smart Mark Sterling

Lexi Nair mediated a disagreement with Josh Woods and Mark Sterling. Woods thought he’d be more successful in singles action, and Sterling agreed to get him a match with Silas Young. 

ROH World Television Championship Eliminator Tournament Finals
Gravity vs. Shane Taylor

Gravity tried to fly around Taylor, but it didn’t work early on. Taylor caught him with a slam and a lariat for a near fall. Taylor worked over Gravity with a chinlock. Gravity escaped, but Taylor came back with a slam. Another slam, and Taylor mocked Gravity, then missed a legdrop. Gravity jot a rama pit pf the corner but Taylor cut him off with a knee.

Taylor went for a suplex, but Gravity countered with a small package for a near fall. Gravity charged in the corner and Taylor caught him with an uranage out of the corner. Taylor set up a splash from the middle rope, but Gravity bounced up and cut him off. Gravity picked up Taylor and gave him a Samoan drop from the middle rope! Gravity came off the top with a splash, but Taylro got his legs up. Taylor then hit a package piledriver and got a pinfall.

Winner: Shane Taylor via Pinfall.

Taylor shouted “Bring me Joe!” as the show went off the air.
