00:00:00Ladies and gentlemen, we are calling an emergency, m'am, a Minion Empowerment Meeting.
00:00:07Guys, I don't feel safe at work anymore.
00:00:09Who's that?
00:00:10Aminata, Red, they tried to take everything from us.
00:00:15Hell, they took three to four more months away from me.
00:00:18Wait, what?
00:00:19Yeah, they tore my ligament all the way through and now I'm out for eight to twelve months.
00:00:25What?
00:00:26And I just don't feel safe anymore, so I took it upon myself to recruit two Minions that probably aren't ready to be graduated,
00:00:32but they're here and they are our private security from here on out.
00:00:36We're not doing this anymore.
00:00:39I'm so sorry you had to deal with this, boss.
00:00:42Like, the disrespect they have done is unimaginable.
00:00:45You've helped this division more than anybody else.
00:00:48They wouldn't have jobs because of me.
00:00:50Yeah.
00:00:52Ugh.
00:00:53This is ridiculous.
00:00:55You guys need to step up and protect her.
00:00:58I think.
00:01:01I think that these...
00:01:04Hussies.
00:01:05Yeah, these Hussies.
00:01:07These Hussies need to learn who really runs ROH.
00:01:10Yeah.
00:01:11MIT.
00:01:12Yeah.
00:01:13Forever.
00:01:14Yeah, that's right.
00:01:15Baddest one swings first.
00:01:16Yes, yes.
00:01:17Baddest one swings first.
00:01:18Baddest one.
00:01:19You know what?
00:01:20We gotta get you a championship, Lexi.
00:01:21Yeah.
00:01:22We gotta do this.
00:01:24Minions!
00:01:25Roll out.
00:01:26We're gonna get you a belt, Lexi.
00:01:27Should we help?
00:01:28I just maybe.
00:01:29I'm sorry, boss.
00:01:30I'm coming.
00:01:31I'm coming.
00:01:32I'm coming.
00:01:33Ugh.
00:01:35Welcome, everyone, to Riccobono Wrestling in Riccobono.
00:01:50Caprice Coleman lets it emote the way from death before dishonor.
00:01:53Tonight, ROH Women's World Television Championship Proving Ground Action.
00:01:57Billy Stark, the champ of the house, gets Angelica Riz.
00:02:00Oh, that's not all, Riccobono.
00:02:02We got big, shoddy Lee Johnson taking on one of the members of the Dark Order, Alex Reynolds,
00:02:07tonight.
00:02:08That's sure to be a great one.
00:02:09And tonight, the problem continues her path of destruction right here on ROH.
00:02:16Marina Shafir in the house.
00:02:18Sometimes I wish that was the only problem, but we got Lance Archer and the Righteous
00:02:22in action tonight.
00:02:23Sure to be big problems on the horizon any time the Murderhawk Monster is in the house.
00:02:29And a big clash in the women's division.
00:02:31Taya Valkyrie, who's called out Queen Almanada, goes one-on-one against the infantry's Trisha Adora.
00:02:36What a bout that's going to be.
00:02:38Riccobono, you're made of it for the Ring of Honor World Championship.
00:02:44Champion versus champion.
00:02:45Our champion, Mark Bristol, takes on our television champion, Cal Fletcher.
00:02:50And what a night of action.
00:02:51We're going to kick things off.
00:02:52It's single competition.
00:02:55This match is set for one fall with a 20-minute time limit.
00:02:58Introducing first, being accompanied by Evil Uno, from Long Island, New York.
00:03:05Weighing 204 pounds, he is representing Dark Order, Alex Reynolds.
00:03:14Alex Reynolds.
00:03:22Alex Reynolds, a lot to be proud of.
00:03:24Getting his first action figure from Jazz Wares.
00:03:27I just saw them available now.
00:03:30But over the years, he's become quite the staple here with Dark Order in AEW.
00:03:35And now making a name for themselves over the last year at Ring of Honor.
00:03:38Alex Reynolds is somebody, when you see them, normally you're used to seeing them, like you said,
00:03:42on the tag team order.
00:03:43Great to see him in singles competition to remind us who he is.
00:03:47And we need no reminder of who this man is.
00:03:50Quite the effort for the Ring of Honor World Television Championship.
00:03:55His opponent, wrestler of Atlanta, Georgia,
00:03:58weighing 189 pounds,
00:04:01Big Shotty Lee Jackson.
00:04:06One of the absolute key characteristics of championship wrestlers, in my opinion, Caprice,
00:04:11is resilience.
00:04:13Lee Johnson steps in the ring week after week.
00:04:17He takes big shots, big challenges.
00:04:19He is now pinned the World Television Champion,
00:04:22who, by the way, is in the main event here tonight.
00:04:24That was a two out of three fall down.
00:04:26Lee Johnson gave it everything he could.
00:04:28He came up just short.
00:04:30But now he can hang his hat on the fact that he's been one of the best wrestlers in the world,
00:04:34Kyle Fletcher.
00:04:35And every time Lee Johnson has become a cure far between,
00:04:39has suffered a loss,
00:04:41he's bounced back one seven, eight, nine in a row.
00:04:43This man keeps growing and growing.
00:04:45That's right, man.
00:04:46Able to take a loss, learn from it, and elevate himself.
00:04:49Constantly rebuilding, constantly becoming better.
00:04:52I really appreciate athletes like Lee Johnson.
00:04:57And the coat of honor adhered to.
00:05:01And fans, we've already talked about Death Before Dishonor
00:05:03coming to you in less than a month Honor Club exclusive.
00:05:05But coming up this Sunday,
00:05:07AW Forbidden Door, the UBS Arena, Long Island, New York.
00:05:11It's live on pay-per-view.
00:05:12Limited tickets available.
00:05:14You can go to awtix.com.
00:05:16Of course, Mark Briscoe in that huge TNT title bout coming your way.
00:05:21We have some great preview matches for that,
00:05:24featuring the stars of Ring of Honor, AW, and New Japan tomorrow night.
00:05:27A rampage including Shingo versus Dalton Castle,
00:05:30as we see Lee Johnson wrenching the arms.
00:05:33And of course, Mark in the main event here tonight.
00:05:35World title on the line against Kyle Fletcher.
00:05:38So much action happening.
00:05:39I love the crossovers, man.
00:05:40From New Japan to Shingo.
00:05:42I'm a huge fan of Shingo.
00:05:44And just to see him in action on our turf is an honor, to say the least.
00:05:49Reynolds has a lot to offer in professional wrestling.
00:05:53He has a lot of innovative moves that he uses.
00:05:56And this will be a hard match, I say, for Lee Johnson.
00:05:59Because we've seen Lee Johnson.
00:06:01We know his moves.
00:06:02We know his things, his arsenal.
00:06:05But Reynolds doesn't have a familiar arsenal to the Ring of Honor faithful.
00:06:09So that could be a weapon if Reynolds chooses to bring this stuff out the bag.
00:06:15You see a nice side headlock here from Lee Johnson.
00:06:17It's going to be interesting.
00:06:18Again, that resilience, that resolve.
00:06:19Lee Johnson with a drop down.
00:06:21How's he going to bounce back?
00:06:22Beautiful leap frog.
00:06:24Oh, look at that.
00:06:25Lateral press.
00:06:28And look at this.
00:06:29Oh, man.
00:06:30Changing directions is very good.
00:06:31Two.
00:06:34Nice stuff here.
00:06:35Caught the right arm.
00:06:36Look at that.
00:06:37Lee Johnson looking for the backslide.
00:06:40Two.
00:06:42Oh, look at the strength.
00:06:43Reynolds intentionally is holding on now.
00:06:45Now Reynolds is in control, believe it or not.
00:06:47Yeah.
00:06:48Oh.
00:06:49Caught that arm, Jake.
00:06:50There you go.
00:06:51And another beautiful drop kick sends Reynolds down.
00:06:56Cover here.
00:06:58Oh, just a one count.
00:06:59I like the way that Shoddy is able to have that explosive movement
00:07:03when he needs to and shuts it down right in the midst of time.
00:07:06There's a little frustration showing here by Reynolds.
00:07:08Oh.
00:07:09Come on now.
00:07:10Sorry.
00:07:11Oh.
00:07:12And Reynolds, we saw it earlier.
00:07:14He almost.
00:07:16He kind of.
00:07:17Sorry.
00:07:18He's saying sorry.
00:07:19It's a mental test.
00:07:21Yeah, but Caprice, I don't know.
00:07:23You had to have seen it.
00:07:25The code of honor.
00:07:26Reynolds balled up his fist and almost swung at Johnson during the code of honor.
00:07:30I tell you what, man.
00:07:31You never know what's going inside the mind of someone like Reynolds.
00:07:34You see all the stuff that Dark Order's been through.
00:07:36Sometimes there's guys that follow the rules, and sometimes they are the worst at following rules.
00:07:41It depends on what you get at what time.
00:07:43Oh, my goodness.
00:07:45That time, it didn't matter what he had.
00:07:47He got closed down over the top rope by Big Shoddy, and I don't believe Big Shoddy's done, Rick Abadie.
00:07:52I don't think so either.
00:07:53Big Shoddy looking to get things going here off the ropes.
00:07:56Looking for Bader.
00:07:58Wow.
00:08:00And it was just last week.
00:08:03Big Shoddy wrestled the match of a lifetime, two out of three falls.
00:08:09As the crowd chanting the three letters R-O-H here, now sending Reynolds back in.
00:08:14You wonder how his body's going to hold up.
00:08:16You wonder how the mental game's going to hold up.
00:08:18There's Evil Uno.
00:08:19It's a distraction.
00:08:20All you need is a little bit of seconds.
00:08:22It's going to cost Shoddy.
00:08:24Yeah.
00:08:26That's what I mean.
00:08:28That's what I mean.
00:08:29You never know how the dark order's going to come, and that's exactly how they're coming.
00:08:33They're not afraid to take not anything cheap, just shortcuts to get the advantage for Reynolds going.
00:08:40Well, it's those milliseconds.
00:08:42You know, we talk about the numbers game.
00:08:43It's not always physical.
00:08:44You're absolutely right, Caprice.
00:08:45Yeah, it's sometimes getting that person to look over, change directions, lose focus for a second.
00:08:50That's all it takes to recover.
00:08:52And look at that.
00:08:53Rolls through.
00:08:54Two.
00:08:55Almost shot the half there.
00:08:56Great way to get into the pin for Reynolds, but Johnson just too strong.
00:09:00Now, his neck was a bit damaged last week.
00:09:02This great scouting from Reynolds.
00:09:03Oh!
00:09:04Sends Johnson to the outside.
00:09:05Yeah.
00:09:06All right.
00:09:07Reynolds is setting things up, and I don't know Evil Uno to be someone that would cause damage on the outside.
00:09:11The Evil Uno I know would throw somebody back in.
00:09:13Oh!
00:09:14There you go.
00:09:16That's what I'm saying.
00:09:18You never know what you're going to get with the dark order, man.
00:09:21Oh, man.
00:09:22Johnson, whose neck has got to be in shambles after those piledrivers repeatedly.
00:09:27And I can't even say uncharacteristic anymore.
00:09:29Two.
00:09:30Wow.
00:09:33Yeah, last week, Caprice, let's remind the fans who may not have seen that instant classic between Fletcher and Johnson.
00:09:39Yeah.
00:09:40Fletcher repeatedly piledrived Johnson.
00:09:42Absolutely.
00:09:43You've got to know that Reynolds saw the match, and he knows the target it put on there,
00:09:48and he definitely has that Kravitz lock, that Kravitz suplexes all neck.
00:09:54And just absolutely sensational game plan here from Reynolds.
00:09:58Focusing in on the neck of Big Shotty Lee Johnson.
00:10:01That is the advantage of doing your homework.
00:10:04Reynolds on the top rope, getting ready to take a high risk, and I think it's going to pay off.
00:10:07He has to hurry up, though.
00:10:08Oh!
00:10:09Yeah, too much time.
00:10:11No one home.
00:10:13That's Johnson now trying to fight back, trying to respond here.
00:10:16Just to see Johnson pulling himself to his feet.
00:10:18Talks a lot about his heart right there.
00:10:21He's willing to go the extra mile to do what he needs to do.
00:10:25Reynolds on a charge.
00:10:27Oh, wow.
00:10:29Turnbuckle there.
00:10:30It's Johnson.
00:10:31Off the ropes.
00:10:32Big close line.
00:10:33And another.
00:10:35And it's Johnson now.
00:10:37Looking for the Irish whip.
00:10:38It's reversed by Reynolds.
00:10:39Now down to his feet.
00:10:40Baseball slide.
00:10:41Ducks to the right.
00:10:42It's Johnson with a neckbreaker of his own.
00:10:44Johnson going to be on his feet.
00:10:45This is what Johnson needs.
00:10:49This is the momentum that Johnson needs.
00:10:50Slide through.
00:10:51Oh, my goodness.
00:10:52What a kick.
00:10:54Wow.
00:10:55Tuck on the moosehawk.
00:10:56Two.
00:10:58And that was a heat check cover there.
00:11:00Reynolds very resilient.
00:11:02Johnson, a bit of a heat check of his own now.
00:11:04And a heat check, that chin check right there.
00:11:07Stay in the game.
00:11:08Stay focused.
00:11:09Not to rush anything.
00:11:10Reynolds is a very smart player at all times.
00:11:12Will bait you in to make you make a wrong move.
00:11:15Right here, that overhook.
00:11:16So many things can happen there.
00:11:17That big shot drop.
00:11:19Looking for it here.
00:11:20But Reynolds smartly again.
00:11:21Grabbing that neck.
00:11:22Those knees.
00:11:23Sent to the forehead.
00:11:25And a snap there.
00:11:26But it's Johnson.
00:11:28Come on.
00:11:31Reynolds now.
00:11:33Oh, oh, no.
00:11:34He's got the double underhook.
00:11:35Fingers locked.
00:11:36Wow.
00:11:37Hurricane on the counter.
00:11:39Legs hooked.
00:11:40Two.
00:11:41No.
00:11:42So close, man.
00:11:43I love the way.
00:11:44Out of nowhere.
00:11:45Big shot.
00:11:46He can try to win the matches at all times.
00:11:48Boom.
00:11:51And wow.
00:11:52Forearm connects.
00:11:54Off the ropes.
00:11:55Big shotty.
00:11:56Oh, God.
00:11:57That neck.
00:11:58To the back of the neck right there.
00:11:59That could be enough for the body.
00:12:00Two.
00:12:01Wow.
00:12:02Not a lot of power on that kick out as well.
00:12:04Just enough to stop the count.
00:12:07Well, Johnson.
00:12:08Going back for that double underhook again.
00:12:10Tiger driver.
00:12:12Stack on the cover.
00:12:13Brings him right back up.
00:12:15Reynolds.
00:12:16That's power driver.
00:12:17Beautiful execution there.
00:12:19Leg hooked.
00:12:20Two.
00:12:21And no.
00:12:25Wow.
00:12:26There's nothing wrong with anything Reynolds did.
00:12:28Nothing wrong with the combination or the cover.
00:12:30That's just showing the heart and the resilience right there of Big Shotty.
00:12:33I mean, the pressure that you keep alluding to that he's taking on his neck.
00:12:37Should have been enough to end Big Shotty here.
00:12:39You can see the blood coming from the mouth of Reynolds.
00:12:42He certainly can.
00:12:43And Big Shotty's so resilient.
00:12:45Repeatedly took pile drivers.
00:12:48The brain buster last week from Fletcher.
00:12:50And that brutal two out of three fall near 30-minute instant classic here on ROH for the World Television Title.
00:12:56But it's Reynolds looking to climb up the ladder here.
00:12:59Reynolds has so many moves that talk about the neck.
00:13:01The rope through the cradle.
00:13:02Wait a minute.
00:13:03Two.
00:13:04Reynolds.
00:13:05Two.
00:13:06Wow.
00:13:07Two and three-quarters there.
00:13:10Oh.
00:13:11Drag it.
00:13:12Wait a minute.
00:13:13Going for it here.
00:13:14Second time locked in.
00:13:16Oh, now Reynolds.
00:13:19And up and over.
00:13:21Oh, Big Shotty.
00:13:22Locked in.
00:13:23Shotty's locked in.
00:13:25Third time.
00:13:26Yeah.
00:13:27Oh, Reynolds.
00:13:28Great counter there.
00:13:30Wow.
00:13:32Snake eyes.
00:13:33That's Reynolds.
00:13:35This is where you capitalize.
00:13:36You got Ibu Uno trying to.
00:13:38Wow.
00:13:40Turned him off pretty fast.
00:13:41Let's see if Shotty can capitalize.
00:13:44Big Shot drop.
00:13:47Hooks the leg.
00:13:48Two.
00:13:49That's it.
00:13:52Winner of this match, Big Shotty Lee Johnson.
00:13:57I am not a betting man, Caprice.
00:13:59But if I had to put down a future's bet on who will hold gold in the Ring of Honor, that has not done so.
00:14:06This young man, who comes back time after time, is my pick.
00:14:10Big Shotty with the win.
00:14:11I'll tell you what, Ricobono.
00:14:12I would assist you on that bet.
00:14:35OLE Wrestling.
00:14:36Come together once more for a true global event.
00:14:40Who wants to step in Boo's house?
00:14:41Will Ospreay.
00:14:42Your challenge for the AW World Championship.
00:14:45You find out.
00:14:46I am the ice of OLE Wrestling.
00:14:48For Bindor.
00:14:55This Sunday for Bindor, the best from New Japan, AW Ring of Honor, CMLL, and Stardust.
00:15:00This match is set for one fall with a 20 minute time limit.
00:15:03Introducing first, let's get a moment to don't fall.
00:15:06The proper Marina Shafir.
00:15:12Marina Shafir.
00:15:15Absolutely undeniable.
00:15:17Let's go back to Lobby Crews.
00:15:18For the party, Erika Lee.
00:15:21Erika Lee, one of the great stars of the Northeast.
00:15:24A little bit eccentric.
00:15:26Very unique.
00:15:29But she will have to come up with quite the game plan.
00:15:31One that we've never seen before.
00:15:33Some fans are going home with a souvenir they may or may not want off the feet of Marina Shafir.
00:15:37I haven't seen one sock thrown back.
00:15:39I'm just being honest, Ricobono.
00:15:41I haven't seen one thrown back.
00:15:44Are you on wiki feet?
00:15:45Is that what you've been looking at these days?
00:15:47I don't know what that is, but I'm sure that's something that...
00:15:49Yeah, sure.
00:15:53I don't know what that is.
00:15:55I've heard things.
00:15:57Mike Posey calling for the coat of honor.
00:15:59I've been on Honor Club, and I've been waiting for Forbidden Door.
00:16:03Is Erika Lee going for the left-handed handshake?
00:16:05That's interesting.
00:16:06Coat of honor here, too.
00:16:08Oh, wait a minute.
00:16:09Look at that.
00:16:10Nice single leg there.
00:16:11I've also been on ShopAEW.com, ShopHonor.com, where I've been getting the latest Ring of Honor merchandise,
00:16:15including physical media, limited DVD releases.
00:16:18There's the right-handed handshake.
00:16:20Yeah, but the ankles are trapped.
00:16:22So many things Shafir can do right here, going towards the arms.
00:16:25Shafir is one of the most unorthodox wrestlers on the roster,
00:16:30coming right in from mixed martial arts,
00:16:34and has brought into wrestling what she feels she needs.
00:16:37Everything else is a fight when you're in there with the problem.
00:16:42Look at this, just mounting Erika here.
00:16:44Right to the face, to the chin.
00:16:46I'm telling you, man.
00:16:49And, oh, she might get a referee stoppage here.
00:16:53Just a blatant smother.
00:16:55Frustration, man.
00:16:57This is probably one of the realest transitions to professional wrestling.
00:17:01Oh, wait a minute.
00:17:02Erika grabbing that right arm.
00:17:05Trying to.
00:17:06Gets the reversal inside.
00:17:07Oh, just fighting for her life there.
00:17:10And look at that, looking around and charging in.
00:17:13Big boot misses.
00:17:14Oh, Shafir!
00:17:15That foot did not miss at all.
00:17:21And Marina Shafir connecting with the ROH crowd here
00:17:24and connecting with the face.
00:17:25The face looks like it come off of cinema.
00:17:29Oh, God, look at just the intensity.
00:17:32And there's a violence in the eyes of Marina Shafir.
00:17:37Everything Shafir does, you can see, is sincere and it hurts, man.
00:17:42Former training partner of Ronda Rousey.
00:17:45Well, her and Ronda.
00:17:46Oh, God.
00:17:47Had that big win.
00:17:49One of the few times Athena's ever been defeated here in Ring of Honor.
00:17:52Of course, never in single competition.
00:17:55But Ronda and Marina defeated Athena in tag action.
00:17:59Erika doesn't know what's hit her, man.
00:18:01Erika is totally outclassed.
00:18:03It almost looks scared at this moment.
00:18:06Oh, my.
00:18:07Wow.
00:18:08Wow.
00:18:09Inside out.
00:18:11That was straight shin to the face, Riccoboni.
00:18:13That was incredible.
00:18:14Yeah.
00:18:15The body control you need for that.
00:18:18And judo throw.
00:18:21You know what this is, Riccoboni?
00:18:23Oh, mother's milk locked in.
00:18:25And there's nowhere to go.
00:18:28You can't get out of this.
00:18:29The reverse sleeper mother's milk.
00:18:31It's only a matter of time.
00:18:32Posey hit the bell.
00:18:33Yeah.
00:18:34And the winner of this match by referee stoppage, the Pugla Marina Shapiro.
00:18:40And we have seen Red Velvet and Queen Aminata stake their claim to the ROH
00:18:46World Television and ROH World Women's Championships, respectively.
00:18:51But if I am either of the champs or either of the top contenders,
00:18:57who is going to stop this woman?
00:19:00To stop somebody like Marina, you have to find a training partner
00:19:03that can duplicate what Marina duplicates.
00:19:06It stands out.
00:19:07There's nobody that can duplicate what she's duplicating, Riccoboni.
00:19:11You would have to go outside of wrestling to find a training partner
00:19:14to beat Marina Shapiro.
00:19:15And that is a problem.
00:19:17Wow.
00:19:18Well, right now, we go to Erkin Iora, standing by with the Undisputed Kingdom.
00:19:22Guys, I'm here with Mike Bennett and Matt Taven, the Undisputed Kingdom.
00:19:26And I just wanted to ask you.
00:19:27You know, before you get started, I feel like we got off on the wrong foot.
00:19:30You're not Lexi.
00:19:32What's your actual name?
00:19:33Arkady.
00:19:35No, no, no.
00:19:36What's your real name?
00:19:38Arkady.
00:19:41Are you playing with me right now?
00:19:43Are you playing with me?
00:19:44What is your name?
00:19:45I'm just asking you a polite question.
00:19:47What is your name?
00:19:48Arkady?
00:19:49That's not a real name.
00:19:50Your parents didn't name you.
00:19:51Why is everyone wasting my time around here?
00:19:53All right, 2.0, the infantry, all these tag teams of Riccoboni.
00:19:56Wasting my time.
00:19:57We are the greatest tag team in Riccobono history.
00:20:00And we're just trying to prove that night after night after night.
00:20:02And people like you, wasting my time.
00:20:05You know what?
00:20:07You know what the problem is?
00:20:09We need more.
00:20:10We need more competition.
00:20:11Maybe I should beg for competition.
00:20:14Maybe I should pray for competition.
00:20:16I've never been much of a religious man.
00:20:18Me and God have kind of a contentious relationship.
00:20:21But you know what?
00:20:22I think I might pray.
00:20:23I'm going to drop down on my knees here.
00:20:25I don't know who I'm going to pray to.
00:20:27I'm going to pray to the Booker man himself, Tony Khan.
00:20:31Are you praying too?
00:20:32Are you praying?
00:20:33Good.
00:20:34Dear Tony, I am begging you, please, from the bottom of my cold black heart.
00:20:41I am begging you, please, give us some competition.
00:20:44Give us a team that is as talented as us.
00:20:48That is as strong as us.
00:20:50That is athletic as us.
00:20:51And maybe a team that's as good looking as us.
00:20:55I don't know.
00:20:56But please, give us some competition.
00:20:59Amen.
00:21:01Now, after saying that, I want to speak directly to all the teams in ROH, AEW, everywhere around the world.
00:21:08Listen up.
00:21:09I want competition because when you step in the ring with Matt Tabin and Mike Bennett,
00:21:14you get the very best tag team in the world.
00:21:17You get guys who have traveled every single country, every single state.
00:21:21We do it all.
00:21:22We show up every single time.
00:21:25And all we want is a challenge.
00:21:30So if you're out there, come talk to us.
00:21:36And also with you.
00:21:37Amen.
00:21:40Wow, the Kingdom speaking the truth.
00:21:42The Undisputed Kingdom.
00:21:44They want to be the greatest ROH World Tag Team Champions of all time.
00:21:48Caprice, I'm just getting word that Tony Khan has made it official.
00:21:50The Undisputed Kingdom will have a proving ground out next week against Commander and Metalik.
00:22:01This is a six-man tag team match.
00:22:02It's a one-ball-and-twenty-minute time limit.
00:22:05Team number one and a combined weight of 793 pounds.
00:22:09First, the Murder Hot Monster, Lance Archer.
00:22:16Did you hear the eruption of that crowd when Lance Archer came through?
00:22:22Certainly did.
00:22:23One of the most popular stars.
00:22:25Whether it be Ring of Honor, AEW, the Murder Hot Monster.
00:22:30Doing it in Japan as part of Monster Sauce with Alex Zane in New Japan.
00:22:35And here in ROH with these two men.
00:22:40His partners, Vincent and Dutch.
00:22:43The Witches.
00:22:46Well, I know Lance Archer's MO.
00:22:49He just wants violence.
00:22:50He just wants to hit somebody.
00:22:52He wants to hit them hard.
00:22:54But where I get lost is this hypnotic snapping.
00:22:58The rhythmic movement.
00:23:00And the violence of a different kind from the Righteous.
00:23:03Well, Archer wants violence.
00:23:05The Righteous wants control.
00:23:08Violence and control is a hard combination, Riccoboni.
00:23:16As you see Dutch domineering individual.
00:23:21Vincent leading the snaps throughout the arena.
00:23:28As the crowd reduced to a hypnotic trance.
00:23:33And you're right.
00:23:34Absolutely in control.
00:23:35The Righteous and Lance Archer.
00:23:37For their opponents here tonight.
00:23:39We take it back to Bobby Crews.
00:23:49I like these guys.
00:23:51The two on the outside.
00:23:52That's the main event right there.
00:23:54And then the one in the middle, Victor Benjamin.
00:23:56That's a threat right there.
00:23:58Victor Benjamin.
00:23:59A very great dude in wrestling.
00:24:01Outside of wrestling.
00:24:02Some cold ties to him as well.
00:24:05And how often do you see this, Caprizo?
00:24:07A man almost this big.
00:24:08That's what I'm saying.
00:24:09The Duke man can dish it out.
00:24:12Getting a big shot here.
00:24:17Look at this.
00:24:18And of course things heating up in this match.
00:24:19But they're heating up all summer.
00:24:20The path to the All-In Summer Series begins Saturday, July 20th.
00:24:24Esports Stadium in Arlington.
00:24:26The crown jewel of that run.
00:24:29In my opinion.
00:24:30Friday, July 26th.
00:24:31An Honor Club exclusive event.
00:24:33And R.H. Staple.
00:24:34Oh!
00:24:35Death before dishonor.
00:24:36Coming your way here on Honor Club.
00:24:38Man, how many times have you seen Lance Archer handle like that?
00:24:41Duke Davis is giving it to Lance Archer.
00:24:44Well, if you get a win here, I mean, Duke Davis.
00:24:47And Gannon Jones Jr.
00:24:48I mean, they could write their own ticket to death before dishonor in Arlington.
00:24:52Duke and Gannon work very well together, Riccoboni.
00:24:57And this is a big test for the Righteous.
00:24:59Look at that.
00:25:00Off the ropes.
00:25:01These are two huge men.
00:25:02Vincent tags in.
00:25:04And there goes Gannon Jones Jr.
00:25:06Duke misses with the right.
00:25:08Wow!
00:25:09See right there.
00:25:10That Archer.
00:25:11Switching his half.
00:25:12My God.
00:25:14Justice.
00:25:15Wow.
00:25:17And, oh, God.
00:25:18Can we get the big red X on that tongue?
00:25:20Don't be jealous.
00:25:21Big to bring it in.
00:25:22It's charged.
00:25:23Oh, my goodness.
00:25:26And look at this.
00:25:27Vincent.
00:25:28Who really has gotten it done over the years in Ring of Honor.
00:25:31A staple here.
00:25:33Former six-man champion.
00:25:35Big elbow there.
00:25:36Elbow right under the jaw.
00:25:37Victor Benjamin in a lot of trouble.
00:25:43And Vincent now.
00:25:45Victor Benjamin.
00:25:46There's a blood sport.
00:25:47Squeezes Muay Thai's legit legs.
00:25:50Educated.
00:25:51Educated body.
00:25:52Very good body control.
00:25:54Two.
00:25:56Yeah.
00:25:57Able to regain himself just that fast.
00:26:00Yeah.
00:26:01Not enough time for that, though.
00:26:02Yeah.
00:26:03You're not going to get that on.
00:26:05Yeah.
00:26:06Downstairs.
00:26:07Vincent.
00:26:09Back into it here.
00:26:11And just stalking Benjamin.
00:26:12Wow!
00:26:14Basement flatliner.
00:26:19And Vincent, who's been so successful in the six-man division over the years.
00:26:23Of course, the unified champions right now.
00:26:25The Bang Bang Gang.
00:26:26Expanding it to four.
00:26:28Who gave them the...
00:26:31And now...
00:26:32So, you see the great reversal here from Benjamin.
00:26:34Ooh!
00:26:35Shot to the midsection.
00:26:36Benjamin's trying to keep it on the side that he's on.
00:26:38Trying to keep it as close as he can to the main event.
00:26:41And Vincent with the reef.
00:26:43First on the outside.
00:26:45Then he's got eyes...
00:26:46Man, he's surrounded.
00:26:48Well, it was a smart move until...
00:26:50Vincent!
00:26:51Yeah!
00:26:53Driving Benjamin into those steel steps.
00:26:58And now Archer...
00:26:59Oh!
00:27:00Oh, yeah.
00:27:01How innocent is Archer there?
00:27:02Geez.
00:27:03If Bad Company was a picture, man, that was it.
00:27:06Yeah.
00:27:08Not talking about Paul Rogers either as Victor Benjamin in the ring.
00:27:14Vincent, again, cutting.
00:27:15Just establishing dominance right here.
00:27:17Tagging in Dutch.
00:27:18Cutting off the ring with Victor inside of it.
00:27:23Well, Vincent, the only four-time six-man champion ever in Ring of Honor.
00:27:28And that's because he knows how to pick the partners.
00:27:32And keep the ring in control, like you said earlier.
00:27:36It's Dutch now with the cover.
00:27:38To the side effect.
00:27:39Boss man slam.
00:27:41Into the leg drop.
00:27:43Even Dutch does the movements that knows where he's at.
00:27:46Able to look at his attacking opponents.
00:27:49The main event there.
00:27:50While the cover was going on.
00:27:52Eyes in the back of the head and keeping the body in between them.
00:27:54At the same time, Dutch will do something to move them away from that corner.
00:27:59You're good, you're good.
00:28:00Shot under the jaw.
00:28:01Really outstretched arm.
00:28:02Dutch!
00:28:03Look at that.
00:28:04Just taunting.
00:28:05You never know what's going on in the eyes of Dutch.
00:28:07But Dutch is playing a smart man's game.
00:28:09Putting that body in between again.
00:28:12And you've got to be a bad man to just stare down the main event like that.
00:28:15These are two huge men.
00:28:18Wait a minute.
00:28:19Oh, single leg.
00:28:22Dutch knows he's losing Victor.
00:28:25Victor Benjamin sent down.
00:28:29Right here, Dutch has done what he needed to do.
00:28:32To block Victor off.
00:28:35Oh, goodness.
00:28:37Victor's lost.
00:28:38He's in the right place and doesn't even know it.
00:28:40Oh, jeez.
00:28:41How unfortunate is that?
00:28:42You fall serendipitously.
00:28:45He gets another chance.
00:28:46There you go.
00:28:47What a tag mate.
00:28:49Again.
00:28:52Gannon Jones Jr. with those big body shots.
00:28:55And look at this.
00:28:56The big man off the ropes.
00:28:57These two big men.
00:28:59Big drop kick.
00:29:01Archer just brought himself in.
00:29:04Archer sensing Dutch may have been in trouble for the first time.
00:29:07But Vincent is the man tag team.
00:29:08Caught.
00:29:10Look at this.
00:29:11Oh, my goodness.
00:29:15And down goes Gannon and up goes Vincent.
00:29:18All the way to the top.
00:29:20Vincent is the legal man.
00:29:21Down from above.
00:29:23Hooks the leg.
00:29:26Many matches have been finished with death from above.
00:29:28Victor breaking it up.
00:29:31Benjamin able to get things broken up too.
00:29:35Boss man slam for Duke Davis.
00:29:39Uh-oh.
00:29:40Orange.
00:29:41Sunshine.
00:29:45Does it light it?
00:29:46Okay.
00:29:47Cleaning the house.
00:29:48Hooks the leg.
00:29:49Two.
00:29:50That's it.
00:29:53The winners of this match, the Demolash Archer and the Witches.
00:30:00If you are the Bang Bang Gang, you got to have a cold feeling.
00:30:06This match should send chills down your spine.
00:30:09These were three gigantic men.
00:30:12One who knows Muay Thai.
00:30:14Oh, look at this.
00:30:15Who is now going to be on the receiving end of the Black Canada Pier.
00:30:21They're not done.
00:30:23This is violence for the sake of violence.
00:30:26Everybody dies.
00:30:28Rick Obani does no worse battles to control violence.
00:30:32That's what the righteous is.
00:30:37Message sent from Vincent Dutch.
00:30:42Lance Archer, the righteous and Lance Archer pick up.
00:30:46Another victory here at ROH.
00:30:49As we move closer and closer to death before dishonor on July 26th.
00:30:58In our world, there is no greater offense than dishonor.
00:31:05On Friday, July 26th in Arlington, Texas.
00:31:09ROH once again shows the world what true honor means.
00:31:14I am the forever champion.
00:31:17We fight till we can't fight no more.
00:31:20Death Before Dishonor, an Honor Club exclusive event.
00:31:24Tickets on sale now at ROHTIX.com.
00:31:28The hottest event of the summer.
00:31:30Death Before Dishonor coming to Arlington.
00:31:33Friday, July 26th, Honor Club exclusive.
00:31:36We need you there though, folks.
00:31:38ROHTIX.com.
00:31:40Now, one-on-one in the women's division.
00:31:43This match is set for one more day.
00:31:4520-minute time limit.
00:31:47Approaching the ring.
00:31:48Let's go to Victoria.
00:31:49Where is Columbia Canada?
00:31:51Taya Valkyrie.
00:31:55Well, everybody around these Barsky Freaks thinks they know what's going on.
00:32:01And everybody wants to control their own destiny.
00:32:05Taya Valkyrie wants to shake things up a little bit.
00:32:09She wants to fix it up.
00:32:10Queen Amanata, who's in tomorrow night's main event against fellow top contender Sky Blue on Rampage.
00:32:17She clearly has intentions on the ROH Women's World Champion Athena.
00:32:22But Taya Valkyrie, not only does she want that title,
00:32:25she wants to derail Queen Amanata's path at a championship shot.
00:32:30If anybody can do it, it would have to be someone with the experience that Taya Valkyrie has.
00:32:35Or this lady right here, Trish Adora.
00:32:38Training at the New Japan Dojo.
00:32:41You see the progress week after week.
00:32:44We take it to Bobby Crews.
00:32:47We're putting victory by victory.
00:32:50From Washington, D.C.
00:32:53Trish Adora!
00:32:58Let's see Trish Adora.
00:33:00She's got a lot of experience.
00:33:02She's got a lot of experience.
00:33:04She's got a lot of experience.
00:33:06Let's see Trish Adora here in ROH.
00:33:09We've been seeing her pop up in New Japan Pro Wrestling as well.
00:33:14Great to see this young woman continue to get better and better every week.
00:33:18Stepping in with a woman that's held championships across the world in Taya Valkyrie.
00:33:22Definitely high competition with Trish Adora.
00:33:25She's solid.
00:33:26She's sound.
00:33:27She's technical.
00:33:28She's fought for our country.
00:33:30There's not much better in the ring than Trish Adora.
00:33:34That larynx that can hit you out of nowhere.
00:33:37And continue to grow.
00:33:38Continue to learn in New Japan.
00:33:41She's a total athlete, Trish Adora.
00:33:45Certainly is.
00:33:46Code of honor at Hilton.
00:33:48Referee Brandon Martinez.
00:33:49I like that forearm from Valkyrie.
00:33:51Right to the chin.
00:33:55Driving it in, into the wrist stack here.
00:33:57Of course, we talked about Red Hot Women's Division later tonight.
00:34:01We will see.
00:34:02Billie Stark's improving crowd action against Angelica Risk.
00:34:07Rare start right here for Valkyrie.
00:34:09This is something that would throw you off game.
00:34:11Someone that comes in with a strike and then goes into basic wrestling.
00:34:15What she's done is frustrate Trish Adora very early and then went into wrestling.
00:34:19It would make Trish Adora want to fight when she gets the control.
00:34:22And speaking of fighting,
00:34:23AEW Figure Fighters, the new mobile game where you control the action.
00:34:26Available now.
00:34:27Available now for 3D animated versions of your favorite AEW wrestlers,
00:34:30each with their own devastating arsenal of signature moves.
00:34:33Available now on iOS and the Google Play stores.
00:34:36And available now some open hands from Trish Adora across the chest of Taya Valkyrie.
00:34:43Trish is already frustrated by Taya.
00:34:45Now, this is Trish giving back that pay.
00:34:47Cheap shots taken earlier.
00:34:49And stretching the delt, stretching the chest area.
00:34:51Watch this split right here.
00:34:53Boom right there.
00:34:54Look at that.
00:34:56Can you split like that?
00:34:59Oh, my goodness.
00:35:01I didn't even know the human body could do that.
00:35:03If I hadn't seen Adora do it before, I'd be clueless.
00:35:07You can see the situation that Valkyrie's in.
00:35:09Definitely know that's an uncomfortable situation if Valkyrie's not flexible.
00:35:12Trap, two.
00:35:15And a great trap into the spin there.
00:35:18Oh, look at Larry telling no one home.
00:35:21Valkyrie trying to get herself together there.
00:35:23I'm so smart.
00:35:24I'm so smart.
00:35:25Look at me.
00:35:26Oh, come on.
00:35:29And Adora.
00:35:33Catches Taya there.
00:35:36And Adora.
00:35:37I like how Adora's staying on top of Valkyrie here, Caprice.
00:35:41Yeah.
00:35:42Adora goes.
00:35:46Has the in-your-face mentality.
00:35:49Also, an avid chess player tries to stay ahead of the game as much as possible.
00:35:53Valkyrie, not ashamed to grab the hair.
00:35:56Well, and so many times, Caprice, we see these younger athletes step in with women like Valkyrie,
00:36:02who've held titles in Mexico, who've competed in Japan.
00:36:06And they get nervous.
00:36:07They play not to lose.
00:36:08Adora's aggression, I think, works in her favor.
00:36:11I think she's got the right temperament to go for it with Valkyrie.
00:36:15She needs to get back in it here, though.
00:36:16You can't let Valkyrie have any opportunities.
00:36:19The advantage that Valkyrie has here is what bag am I going to dig from?
00:36:23What experience am I going to take to try to beat somebody like Trish Adora?
00:36:27And sometimes it takes a little while to figure people out.
00:36:30But if Valkyrie can figure Trish Adora out, that's what she's going to try to put together the equation
00:36:35to beat the Afro Punk.
00:36:38And it seems like she's on a good roll right now.
00:36:43And Trish is going to have to do something, or Trish is not going to be in this game for long.
00:36:49Oh! Meteor in the corner.
00:36:52What did she say before she did that?
00:36:54La Huera Loca.
00:36:56Okay.
00:36:57And leg hooked.
00:36:59Two!
00:37:02Look at this fighting spirit right there.
00:37:05Trying to pull it together, the crowd coming with her.
00:37:13Look at this.
00:37:15Valkyrie has final focal point on that back of Trish Adora.
00:37:19Everything going right back to the back.
00:37:22And Taya, as of late, look at that.
00:37:24The great stretch she's been taking to calling herself the main character.
00:37:29In addition to La Huera Loco.
00:37:32The shoulders of Trish Adora.
00:37:34Definitely tearing at the shoulder blades right there, the deltoids.
00:37:39Trish trying everything she can to get out of that.
00:37:42Trying to get a little influence from the crowd, but you're in there by yourself.
00:37:45Yeah, look at that.
00:37:46Double wrist lock takeover.
00:37:48The main character sent over.
00:37:49Big clothesline, though.
00:37:52By Valkyrie.
00:37:53Hooks the leg, cover.
00:37:54Two!
00:37:56That's what I mean.
00:37:57Valkyrie has frustrated Adora, and every time Adora gets a chance to come out, she comes out with vengeance.
00:38:02She comes out with speed, ready to fight.
00:38:04And that's when Valkyrie starts wrestling.
00:38:07It's a great game plan by Valkyrie, and I don't know if Trish Adora has caught on to it yet.
00:38:11Looking for the double underhook here.
00:38:12No, no one home.
00:38:14Adora, ooh.
00:38:15Able to drop the hips.
00:38:16Allowing Adora to be too close to her as well.
00:38:18Adora's going to shift that body weight.
00:38:19It's got to reverse this.
00:38:20Yep.
00:38:21Holds onto the wrist, ducks the clothesline.
00:38:22Adora, big forearm.
00:38:24Forearm again, rocking Valkyrie.
00:38:26Look at that.
00:38:27Wow!
00:38:28God.
00:38:30Going to baseball right to the jaw of Valkyrie.
00:38:33And there's the momentum that Adora needs.
00:38:35High crossbody.
00:38:36Takes down Valkyrie here.
00:38:38And it's the afro punk.
00:38:40With the main character in the corner.
00:38:41Oh!
00:38:43Collapsing Valkyrie.
00:38:45Front face lock here.
00:38:48And nice snap suplex with the bridge.
00:38:49Nice snap with the bridge.
00:38:51Cover.
00:38:52Two!
00:38:54And that was great timing by Valkyrie.
00:38:57Sensing Brandon Martinez had to get in position.
00:39:00The count there got that extra breath.
00:39:02That will help.
00:39:03That was a veteran move by Valkyrie there.
00:39:06A veteran move.
00:39:07But I saw right there the arm of Trish Adora.
00:39:08Trish Adora's trying to plant for that Lariat Tubman.
00:39:11And I think Valkyrie knows it.
00:39:13Fighting her way out.
00:39:14Trying to get back to her feet now.
00:39:15Had that chin lock in.
00:39:16Trying to get a sleeper applied.
00:39:19Trish going to have to grab a rope or get that height change.
00:39:22There you go.
00:39:23But Valkyrie's too low for that.
00:39:25Kind of switch over the head.
00:39:26Ooh!
00:39:27And Adora able to get to the corner.
00:39:29But very smartly.
00:39:30Anytime Valkyrie's out of the view of Brandon Martinez.
00:39:34Fish hooking is the arm drag there.
00:39:38Very low and great position.
00:39:39Valkyrie does so many things well.
00:39:41Now, as Trish grounded and right back to the shoulders.
00:39:46Right back to the back.
00:39:47My God.
00:39:48Oh, my.
00:39:49Look at that.
00:39:51And maybe looking for the Shania Payne here.
00:39:54It's exactly what she's looking for.
00:39:55Oh, got it!
00:39:56That's a knockout.
00:39:57That's a knockout.
00:40:00And Adora is out cold.
00:40:03Yeah, the knockout blow has already.
00:40:04Everything else is after the knockout blow.
00:40:07Trisha Adora's in another layer right now.
00:40:09This time.
00:40:10Gonna do it again.
00:40:11One for good measure.
00:40:12Oh, my.
00:40:13There's no call for this.
00:40:14No call for this at all.
00:40:16Hooks the leg.
00:40:18Two.
00:40:19Got it.
00:40:20Wow.
00:40:21Oh, winner of this match.
00:40:23Fire!
00:40:24Valkyrie!
00:40:27Well, we've seen Marina Shafir.
00:40:28We've talked about Red Velvet.
00:40:30Queen Amanata.
00:40:32But how can we forget Tyah Valkyrie continuing to stack wins.
00:40:37Pulling out Amanata.
00:40:40And it is Valkyrie with another victory over a world-class competitor here tonight, Caprice.
00:40:45Valkyrie continues to do it.
00:40:46She continues to show it.
00:40:47She's not just a pretty face.
00:40:48There's a lot that comes with that face.
00:40:51Right now, we go to Arkansas.
00:40:52We're standing by with Layla Hirsch.
00:40:54Layla Hirsch, congratulations on your recent win against Diamante.
00:40:58Thank you.
00:40:59I have wrestled Diamante now four times.
00:41:02And every time, I'll admit, she has pushed me to my limit.
00:41:06But also, every time I've stepped in the ring with her, I have gotten the win.
00:41:10Well, what I wanted to speak with you about was what happened after the match when she brutally attacked you.
00:41:15I mean, how are you feeling?
00:41:16Not surprised.
00:41:17But you know what?
00:41:18If I was Diamante, I would be just as pissed.
00:41:21Because at the end of the day, she can't beat me.
00:41:24Layla.
00:41:25Layla.
00:41:26Layla.
00:41:27Layla.
00:41:28Layla.
00:41:30Nobody remembers you beating me four times.
00:41:32But you know what we all remember?
00:41:34Me leaving you laying.
00:41:37Yeah, that's right.
00:41:38Because I walked out.
00:41:40And you didn't.
00:41:41Oh, wait, wait, wait.
00:41:42You had the refs help you walk out.
00:41:44You know what?
00:41:45Yeah, you beat me four times.
00:41:46But every one of those times has been a wrestling match.
00:41:49And I'm here for a fight.
00:41:52You're talking my language.
00:41:53You want to fight?
00:41:54Yeah, I want to fight.
00:41:55All right.
00:41:56If I ever get in a ring, it's going to be No Holds Barred match.
00:41:59Suka.
00:42:01I accept, perra.
00:42:06Wow, No Holds Barred.
00:42:07Bell set.
00:42:09Between Layla Diamante.
00:42:12This is an out-of-weight women's world television championship ruby ground match.
00:42:18Except for one ball.
00:42:19And a ten-minute timer.
00:42:21Injuries first.
00:42:22Let's go to Louisville, Kentucky.
00:42:24She is the Ring of Honor women's world television champion.
00:42:30Billie Starks.
00:42:34I'm going to give a quick shout out to both of the athletes we just saw.
00:42:37Trisha Dora.
00:42:39Bronson of the Iron Savages.
00:42:41Celebrating Pride Month this month.
00:42:43Recently featured across AEW and Ring of Honor platforms.
00:42:46Billie Starks, the Ring of Honor world women's television champion.
00:42:49Go to Bobby Crews, her opponent.
00:42:51Her opponent, Abhaka.
00:42:55Well, Abhaka Rizk here.
00:42:58Stepping up to the plate.
00:43:00And Billie Starks looked a little different.
00:43:03She didn't have that confidence she normally does with a healthy Athena.
00:43:08Definitely a different vibe from Billie Starks.
00:43:10You're absolutely right.
00:43:11You can see it right there.
00:43:14It's kind of what happens when your leader is not a...
00:43:18Oh, wow.
00:43:20Here it comes.
00:43:21Here it comes.
00:43:22Here it comes.
00:43:23Oh, how original. How original.
00:43:25I've never heard that one before.
00:43:27I've never heard that before.
00:43:30Oh, Code of Honor in here too.
00:43:33Yeah, I like the way Abhaka Rizk is staying with the game plan.
00:43:36Billie's trying to get disrespect, but that's the...
00:43:38Oh, he's standing up to a bully right there.
00:43:39So he is.
00:43:40Shots fired.
00:43:41Oh, look at that.
00:43:42Uh-oh.
00:43:43Wow.
00:43:44Straight to the groin.
00:43:45Oh, jeez.
00:43:46My goodness.
00:43:47What kind of mindset is Billie Starks in?
00:43:49Look at that swing and a miss.
00:43:50Off the ropes.
00:43:52Of course, we talked about Forbidden Door.
00:43:54Beautiful headscissor there.
00:43:55We have Death Before Decider coming up,
00:43:57and history will be made once again
00:43:59when AEW returns to Wembley Stadium
00:44:01for All-In Live Sunday,
00:44:03August 25th on pay-per-view.
00:44:05Tickets on sale now.
00:44:06Ticketmaster.co.uk slash A.W. Wembley 2024.
00:44:10Billie Starks remains in control here.
00:44:13Oh, my goodness.
00:44:15Billie Starks is uncharacteristically violent.
00:44:17You look at her,
00:44:18you think you're going to get a decent match,
00:44:20and she comes out,
00:44:21and she brings this onslaught of violence on you
00:44:23that's just unpredictable
00:44:24because you look at her face,
00:44:25this is not what you expect from somebody like Billie Sparks.
00:44:28And I'll tell you what, Angelica Rizk
00:44:31has been very impressive.
00:44:33She had a great bout against Athena back in Florida
00:44:37in 2023 in a Proving Ground bout.
00:44:39Lasted almost 10 minutes.
00:44:41She's faced Layla Hirsch.
00:44:43She's faced Marina Shafir.
00:44:44Not afraid of these top-flight stars.
00:44:46Oh, God.
00:44:47But it...
00:44:49Seems like Billie Starks is always turning up the notch.
00:44:53Turning up the notch, turning up the violence.
00:44:56Oh, God.
00:44:57Open hand there.
00:44:59Yeah.
00:45:00Wow.
00:45:01Aggression.
00:45:02And risk.
00:45:03Look at that aggressiveness right there.
00:45:04Right back stomp.
00:45:05Right down into the corner.
00:45:08How many wrestling moves have we seen
00:45:10from Billie Starks in this match?
00:45:11It's been a fight.
00:45:12You're telling me, Caprice.
00:45:13I mean, you think back to when she won the title at Supercard.
00:45:16It was not a fight.
00:45:17She did wrestle.
00:45:18She used that deception, that trickery, that thievery
00:45:22to get...
00:45:23This could be a wrestling move,
00:45:24but I don't think it's going to be one.
00:45:25Yeah.
00:45:26Oh, and her ankles.
00:45:28Risks.
00:45:29Oh, that knee.
00:45:30That ankle and the knee.
00:45:31That right knee just went left to right.
00:45:33You never want to see that.
00:45:34That was...
00:45:35Oh, God.
00:45:36Does Stark look concerned at all?
00:45:37Does Billie Starks look concerned?
00:45:38No.
00:45:39Back in the ring, Billie.
00:45:4019 years old.
00:45:41By my math, the second youngest wrestler
00:45:43ever to hold a champion title.
00:45:45The second youngest wrestler ever to hold a championship
00:45:47and ring of honor.
00:45:48Only behind Mark Briscoe, who did it when he was 18.
00:45:51But Risk fighting back here.
00:45:56Risk is trying to survive Riccoboni.
00:45:59Oh, geez.
00:46:01Just skip it.
00:46:03And this is...
00:46:04She's this good now, Caprice.
00:46:05Can you imagine
00:46:07in five years?
00:46:08Oh, God.
00:46:09Oh!
00:46:11Oh, damn, Billie.
00:46:13I'll tell you what, man.
00:46:16The violence inside of this young lady's mind.
00:46:22Oh, geez.
00:46:23Just the violence in tribute to Athena.
00:46:27This...
00:46:28Right.
00:46:29She is warped.
00:46:30She's just...
00:46:31Her brainwaves fire at a different frequency
00:46:34as Billie Starks now going up to the top.
00:46:36Looking for that...
00:46:37Stark is going for the end.
00:46:38Certainly is.
00:46:39Oh, and Risk.
00:46:40Great scouting here.
00:46:42Right.
00:46:43Risk doing her homework.
00:46:44And not for nothing,
00:46:45Risk has been improving ground bouts before.
00:46:47You go 10 minutes with a champion,
00:46:49you get a win, you get a title shot.
00:46:51But what is Risk going to do right here?
00:46:53She's had...
00:46:54Billie Starks is off her game plan.
00:46:56Wow.
00:46:57Risk is still trying to survive, still recovering.
00:46:59That was a great opportunity to try to capitalize
00:47:02on Billie Starks trying to reset.
00:47:05Look at that, tapping the skull.
00:47:06Tapping the skull.
00:47:08Now on that middle rope.
00:47:11Oh, now...
00:47:12Oh, you know who that's alluding to.
00:47:14Calling out Red Velvet.
00:47:16And...
00:47:17No!
00:47:19Red Velvet.
00:47:20Okay.
00:47:21Oh, look at this.
00:47:22It's Risk here.
00:47:23And...
00:47:24Risk!
00:47:26Goes around again.
00:47:30Oh, look at Risk.
00:47:31Risk back in, satellite.
00:47:32Oh, lock.
00:47:34Oh!
00:47:35Off with her head!
00:47:39And Risk by the hair.
00:47:40So many styles,
00:47:41starts can hit you with, man.
00:47:42It's the violence, it's the striking,
00:47:44it's the wrestling, it's the attitude.
00:47:46Right here's the submission holder
00:47:47she's been finishing people with.
00:47:49Oh, camera lock.
00:47:50Oh, that's it.
00:47:51Camera lock, fish hook.
00:47:53Yeah.
00:47:54The winner of this match by submission,
00:47:57the Ring of Honor Women's World Television Champion,
00:48:01Billie Starks!
00:48:04Wow.
00:48:05Red Velvet has been hot on the case of Billie Starks.
00:48:08Tonight, Billie Starks picks up another victory.
00:48:13As her own undefeated streak grows,
00:48:16like her boss's does.
00:48:18I know you're all ready to know, boss.
00:48:20But I promise,
00:48:21I got this.
00:48:23Billie Starks is a book
00:48:25that does not read like the cover looks.

00:49:21Stephanie Bakur.
00:49:23Technical Wizard, Zack Sabre Jr.,

00:50:44right here in Allentown, Pennsylvania,
00:50:47just blocks away from where Orville Brown,
00:50:50The Deuces,

00:50:52Pedro Morales,
00:50:55and so many other legends

00:51:06trying to make his mark in the history books,
00:51:09but the man that he's getting ready to face tonight,

00:51:46family,
00:51:48around ringside.
00:51:52And over the last couple of weeks,
00:51:54earlier this month, Caprice,
00:51:56we saw it on Dynamite,
00:51:58it was Kyle Fletcher
00:51:59as part of the Don Callis family,
00:52:02as part of those great
00:52:04eight-man tags,
00:52:05action-packed,
00:52:06where he and Mark Briscoe mixed it up,
00:52:08Bryce Ramsford,
00:52:09who trained to be a referee
00:52:10right here in the city,
00:52:11right here in Allentown, Pennsylvania,
00:52:1322 years ago,
00:52:15here tonight to officiate
00:52:17the first-ever Ring of Honor bout
00:52:19in Allentown, my hometown,
00:52:21and I'm so glad
00:52:23that we're getting a historic match like this.
00:52:29This is a class of champions
00:52:30if I ever seen one.
00:52:35He's already calling himself
00:52:36Kyle Two Belts.
00:52:39As we await the Code of Honor,
00:52:41as we await the Code of Honor.
00:52:43Nothing wrong with confidence here,
00:52:44and you know what?
00:52:45Kyle can do it, man.
00:52:46Kyle has every bit of what he needs.
00:52:49However, Kyle has to realize
00:52:50who he's inside of the ring with.
00:52:52They've been familiar with each other
00:52:53in tag team competition.
00:52:55I'll tell you what,
00:52:56singles competition,
00:52:57Mark Briscoe's a totally different man.
00:53:00Well, think about the match
00:53:01you're getting here tonight.
00:53:02Of course, Jazwares,
00:53:05the great company that makes
00:53:06our action figures,
00:53:07sponsoring Death Before Dishonor.
00:53:09Of course, they have
00:53:10exclusive Ring of Honor figures
00:53:11available in the vault.
00:53:13You should check those out,
00:53:14including the upcoming Briscoe's
00:53:15Through the Legs Future Shock,
00:53:17now available.
00:53:18Adam Cole, Kyle O'Reilly,
00:53:19look at that.
00:53:20Redneck Kung Fu around they go.
00:53:22But that's all to say.
00:53:24Wow, great exchange there.
00:53:25Wrist lock,
00:53:26beautiful arm drag,
00:53:27into the head scissor,
00:53:28great series of counters there.
00:53:31Back to staying in the game there,
00:53:32Mark Briscoe looking great himself.
00:53:35I'll tell you what, Caprice,
00:53:37we are just a block or two away.
00:53:40There was a department store
00:53:41called Hesse's.
00:53:42They used to have stars
00:53:43like Marilyn Monroe,
00:53:44like Willie Mays,
00:53:46U.S. Presidents.
00:53:50Come and light up the city,
00:53:52and tonight I'm so proud
00:53:53in my hometown,
00:53:54in my home city,
00:53:55that the fans are rallying
00:53:56behind the star
00:53:57that Mark Briscoe is.
00:53:59And look at all the people
00:54:00in Allentown.
00:54:01Rick Fiennes, did you walk
00:54:02through the show?
00:54:03Less than two miles away.
00:54:04I was born eight blocks
00:54:05on this very street, Caprice.
00:54:06On Hamilton Boulevard.
00:54:09As the side headlock
00:54:10wrenched in.
00:54:12Right here, Mark is realizing
00:54:13the energy that Kyle Fletcher
00:54:15has in his shoes and the wear.
00:54:16Kyle Fletcher down,
00:54:17maintaining that control.
00:54:19Great veteran move right here.
00:54:21Let's see what Fletcher
00:54:22is going to do here.
00:54:23Wow.
00:54:24Right side headlock.
00:54:26Yeah, ducks down.
00:54:27Kyle Fletcher snapping through,
00:54:28rolls through.
00:54:30Back to the head.
00:54:31Definitely great.
00:54:32This is really frustrating
00:54:33to a rookie
00:54:34when you have a veteran
00:54:35that's grounding you,
00:54:36keeping you down,
00:54:37keeping you from moving
00:54:38and draining your energy
00:54:40at the same time.
00:54:41Mark Briscoe playing
00:54:42a very smart game plan
00:54:44with the rookie here.
00:54:45We love to see it.
00:54:46With a younger guy,
00:54:47can't call him a rookie anymore.
00:54:48That's the thing.
00:54:49His world experience.
00:54:50This man, we saw him
00:54:51when he was 18 years old
00:54:52in his own right.
00:54:53We're talking about Mark
00:54:54being a champion at 18.
00:54:55Off the ropes.
00:54:56Oh, shoulder tackle.
00:54:57How similar are the...
00:55:03How similar are the career
00:55:05is what I was going to say,
00:55:06my goodness,
00:55:07of Fletcher and Briscoe.
00:55:09Well, think about this.
00:55:10As AEW prepares to go
00:55:12to Wales Caprice,
00:55:13it was in Wales
00:55:14where Mark Briscoe
00:55:15and Kyle Fletcher met
00:55:16for the first time
00:55:17on a Ring of Honor event.
00:55:19At that time,
00:55:21we had pegged Kyle Fletcher
00:55:22as a future star,
00:55:23but he's still toe-to-toe
00:55:25with both Mark and James Briscoe
00:55:27and really impressed
00:55:28an international audience.
00:55:31Absolutely.
00:55:32Mark Davis
00:55:34Oh, look at this.
00:55:35It's changing here.
00:55:36Goodness.
00:55:38But then Kyle Fletcher
00:55:39was 18 years old
00:55:40and Mark Briscoe started
00:55:41his career when he was 16.
00:55:43It's so much...
00:55:45Symmetry.
00:55:46So much alike in the careers
00:55:47of these two.
00:55:49You have the young upstart
00:55:50that's young,
00:55:51but he still has veteran instincts
00:55:52because he's been in the game
00:55:53for a long time
00:55:54with great tutelage
00:55:55and that's Kyle Fletcher.
00:55:56But then you have the one
00:55:57that was born for this.
00:55:59And Mark Briscoe,
00:56:00who captured the world title
00:56:02from Eddie Kingston
00:56:03at Super Card of Honor
00:56:05here in Allentown, Pennsylvania
00:56:06now.
00:56:07Off the ropes.
00:56:08Whoa.
00:56:09Yes, sir.
00:56:11What you talking about?
00:56:12That's our champion
00:56:13right there, Rick Abate.
00:56:17Look at that.
00:56:18Yeah.
00:56:21And like the great Heston Starr
00:56:23once said,
00:56:24you'll get the best
00:56:25of everything at Allentown.
00:56:26That was the best open hand
00:56:27I've ever seen.
00:56:29I tell you what,
00:56:30I'm taking charge
00:56:31of Mark Briscoe.
00:56:32That shot right there
00:56:33would make you change decisions
00:56:34in life.
00:56:35And look at that,
00:56:36the thrust.
00:56:37And I gotta wonder, Caprice,
00:56:38we saw it last week,
00:56:39Atlantis Jr.
00:56:40made the challenge
00:56:41for the winner
00:56:42of Lee Johnson
00:56:43and Kyle Fletcher.
00:56:44Kyle Fletcher won that bout.
00:56:45Tomorrow night,
00:56:46we know the match
00:56:47will be Fletcher
00:56:48and Atlantis
00:56:49in Arena Mexico.
00:56:50Do you think,
00:56:51do you think
00:56:52that Fletcher's
00:56:53stretching himself too thin?
00:56:54Maybe looking past Mark Briscoe,
00:56:55will he do it
00:56:56as a double champion?
00:56:58No, I don't think
00:56:59Fletcher's stretching
00:57:00himself too thin.
00:57:01He's young,
00:57:02he's vibrant,
00:57:03he's resilient.
00:57:04Oh my goodness!
00:57:05This is what the wrestlers do.
00:57:06And Fletcher's playing
00:57:07a great game plan
00:57:08right here by Mark Briscoe.
00:57:09Wow!
00:57:10Wow.
00:57:11Yeah,
00:57:12and how often
00:57:13have you seen Mark Briscoe
00:57:14be on the outside?
00:57:16This is Briscoe's territory,
00:57:17the outside of the ring.
00:57:18And Mark Fletcher
00:57:19has just gotten the better
00:57:20of Mark Briscoe.
00:57:22Kyle Fletcher
00:57:23has just gotten the better
00:57:24of Mark Briscoe.
00:57:25Double!
00:57:26Double!
00:57:28The last man
00:57:29to do that,
00:57:31to have both
00:57:32the world and television titles
00:57:34Jay Lethal.
00:57:36Oh goodness!
00:57:38And Fletcher,
00:57:39you can't take him home.
00:57:41It's not an iron pig's foul ball.
00:57:44Mark Briscoe though,
00:57:46this Allentown crowd
00:57:47here at the PPL Center,
00:57:52and that's,
00:57:53I see some friends
00:57:54in the audience there,
00:57:56and they are just,
00:57:57they are rooting
00:57:58for Mark Briscoe.
00:58:01But he's in trouble here.
00:58:02You know what,
00:58:03Briscoe's friend,
00:58:04but you know the last thing
00:58:05you can do
00:58:06to give Mark Briscoe
00:58:07a chance to breathe,
00:58:08the cardio that Briscoe
00:58:09has, my goodness!
00:58:13And Atlantis Jr.,
00:58:15that match tomorrow,
00:58:17is only for the
00:58:18world television title.
00:58:19Can you imagine
00:58:21if Fletcher wins tonight,
00:58:22Atlantis wins tomorrow,
00:58:24and then Atlantis
00:58:25probably even have a claim
00:58:26for the world title
00:58:27at Death Before Dishonor.
00:58:28This is crazy!
00:58:31This is a match that
00:58:32could have been
00:58:33at Death Before Dishonor
00:58:34as a main event,
00:58:35and we're getting it
00:58:36right now.
00:58:38Oh my goodness!
00:58:40Can you imagine
00:58:41if we're seeing this
00:58:42here tonight
00:58:43on Honor Club,
00:58:44and we're gonna see
00:58:45Friday, July 26th?
00:58:47Fans, if you ever see
00:58:48Ring of Honor in your area,
00:58:49AEW in your area,
00:58:51you see how the fans
00:58:52and the action
00:58:53are so close.
00:58:54Don't you wanna be
00:58:55in the front seat?
00:58:58Caprice,
00:58:59this is my hometown.
00:59:00The fans are loving the cover.
00:59:01Two!
00:59:02I'm so proud that
00:59:03Ring of Honor
00:59:04has finally made it
00:59:05to Allentown.
00:59:07With this marquee match,
00:59:08we talked about Bruno,
00:59:09Pedro, the Moondogs,
00:59:10the Wild Samoans,
00:59:11Alpha, Sika,
00:59:12we love you, Sika.
00:59:14Legends, Hall of Famers,
00:59:16and here tonight,
00:59:17maybe two future,
00:59:19already Hall of Famer
00:59:20Mark Briscoe,
00:59:21and a future Hall of Famer
00:59:22Kyle Fletcher.
00:59:24I'll tell you what,
00:59:25I was looking at
00:59:26his eyes,
00:59:27and somebody his age
00:59:28would've rushed
00:59:29into the champion,
00:59:30but the way
00:59:31Kyle Fletcher
00:59:32was able to
00:59:33slow himself down
00:59:34with a methodical
00:59:35approach against
00:59:36the world champion
00:59:37shows me that
00:59:38Fletcher's way
00:59:39ahead of his time.
00:59:41Look at this,
00:59:42he's got
00:59:43the crowd
00:59:44here at the
00:59:45PPL Center
00:59:46in the palm of his hand.
00:59:48Oh, wait a...
00:59:50Those eyes,
00:59:51I know those eyes
00:59:52way too well.
00:59:53Mark Briscoe's
00:59:54not gonna stop.
00:59:55He's gonna change right here.
00:59:56Fletcher's gotta do
00:59:57something fast,
00:59:58or he's gonna lose control.
00:59:59And look at this.
01:00:00There's nothing
01:00:01he can do about it.
01:00:02Just as Victor Rivera
01:00:03did down at the
01:00:04old Palestra
01:00:05here in Allentown,
01:00:06it's Mark Briscoe
01:00:07coming alive,
01:00:08beating up the fans,
01:00:09exchanging throws here.
01:00:10Briscoe,
01:00:11Fletcher,
01:00:12toe-to-toe.
01:00:14Is it to the fans?
01:00:15They want Briscoe
01:00:16in there.
01:00:20And look at this.
01:00:21Irish whip now
01:00:22reversed off the ropes.
01:00:26The velocity
01:00:27behind that forearm.
01:00:28Square on the jaw.
01:00:32Mark Briscoe,
01:00:33redneck kung fu
01:00:35in the corner,
01:00:36collapsing Fletcher.
01:00:38Front face lock.
01:00:39Fisherman
01:00:40buster!
01:00:42Floats over!
01:00:48Beautiful cover,
01:00:49beautiful execution.
01:00:53Cal Fletcher
01:00:54taking the business
01:00:55and still going with it.
01:00:56Mark Briscoe
01:00:57not afraid to put on
01:00:58more punishment though.
01:00:59My God,
01:01:00those chops.
01:01:01I tell you what, man.
01:01:02People have no idea
01:01:03how hard
01:01:04Mark Briscoe chops.
01:01:05And I hope I never
01:01:06find out
01:01:07as Mark Briscoe now.
01:01:08Front face lock.
01:01:11Kick in the midsection.
01:01:12Mark Briscoe
01:01:13looking for the scoop.
01:01:14Big time slam.
01:01:15No, no one home.
01:01:16Up and over.
01:01:17Waist lock,
01:01:18broken by Briscoe.
01:01:19Pele!
01:01:20Fletcher stays.
01:01:22Wow!
01:01:23Great forearm.
01:01:26I know what's coming up
01:01:27from here, Ricobardi.
01:01:30Looking to reach
01:01:31for the sky.
01:01:33Fletcher back up.
01:01:34Fletcher!
01:01:35Look at the closing speed
01:01:36of Cal Fletcher
01:01:37just planting
01:01:38Briscoe in the skull.
01:01:40To have that type
01:01:41of closing speed
01:01:42you have to be
01:01:43in recovery fast too.
01:01:45And look at this
01:01:46front face lock here.
01:01:47Second rope on the inside.
01:01:48The strength
01:01:49looking for that
01:01:50top rope break buster.
01:01:51No one home.
01:01:52Now!
01:01:56Briscoe able to
01:01:57shift his weight.
01:01:58Land on his feet
01:01:59on the outside.
01:02:00Rarely do you see
01:02:01anything like that done.
01:02:02Especially with the knees
01:02:03that Briscoe
01:02:04have been through.
01:02:05But now Briscoe's
01:02:06in a weird situation
01:02:07in the top.
01:02:08He's going to have
01:02:09to shift his weight.
01:02:10Now Cal's in a
01:02:11bad situation.
01:02:12Briscoe's in control.
01:02:14Fishman suplex
01:02:15from the top.
01:02:18And the welted chest
01:02:19and the glazed eyes
01:02:20of Fletcher
01:02:21tell the story.
01:02:24Both men down
01:02:25in this ROH World Championship
01:02:27main event
01:02:28in Allentown, Pennsylvania.
01:02:30It was just last week.
01:02:32Fletcher was asking
01:02:33for the best competition.
01:02:35And I promise you
01:02:36he's regretting
01:02:37those statements right now.
01:02:38And this has been
01:02:39boiling over the last
01:02:40couple of weeks
01:02:41on Dynamite.
01:02:42We've seen these two men
01:02:43lock up twice
01:02:45in multi-man
01:02:46tag team bouts.
01:02:49Uh-oh.
01:02:50I got it in!
01:02:52Get up!
01:02:54Get in!
01:02:55Oh, but Fletcher up.
01:02:56So quick!
01:02:59Driving thrust.
01:03:00No way.
01:03:01No way.
01:03:02Oh, no.
01:03:03No way.
01:03:04Kyle Fletcher.
01:03:05Look at the pendulum.
01:03:06Mark gets out of it.
01:03:07Oh, right through the jaw.
01:03:10Yeah!
01:03:11Wow!
01:03:12My goodness.
01:03:13Fletcher landed twice.
01:03:15Oh!
01:03:18And like the mood dogs
01:03:19used to do down at Ag Hall,
01:03:21driving the elbow
01:03:22through the chest
01:03:23onto the outside.
01:03:25Oh, now Fletcher's
01:03:26in the right place.
01:03:27There have been
01:03:28many finish from here.
01:03:29Fletcher has a short time.
01:03:31If not,
01:03:32he's gonna fall victim.
01:03:36Froggy!
01:03:37Froggy!
01:03:38Froggy!
01:03:39Froggy!
01:03:40Froggy!
01:03:41Froggy!
01:03:42Froggy!
01:03:43Froggy!
01:03:44Froggy!
01:03:45No!
01:03:46Wait a minute!
01:03:47Cover!
01:03:48Two!
01:03:49Get him a new champion!
01:03:50No!
01:03:51It's Fletcher.
01:03:52Closing speed.
01:03:53Through the legs.
01:03:54Mark Frisco up.
01:03:55Mark Frisco now.
01:03:56Around!
01:03:57Caught!
01:03:58Piledriver by the TV champ!
01:03:59Get him a new world champ!
01:04:00Two!
01:04:01Get him in!
01:04:02No!
01:04:03In my head,
01:04:04that was all it was gonna take.
01:04:05That sheer drop
01:04:06from so fast
01:04:07out of nowhere.
01:04:08Nowhere to prepare
01:04:09or recover from that.
01:04:10I'm surprised
01:04:11the world champion
01:04:13with his wife,
01:04:14his children,
01:04:15his nieces here as well.
01:04:18The entire Briscoe family
01:04:20has filled the PPL center.
01:04:24You can hear that Allentown
01:04:26has adopted Briscoe.
01:04:30Yeah, Fletcher, though.
01:04:32The TV champ
01:04:33sensing an opportunity
01:04:34to walk away
01:04:35with the two top singles titles
01:04:37in the ring.
01:04:38I'm not looking for that Piledriver.
01:04:39He beat Johnson with it last week.
01:04:40Wait a minute!
01:04:41Two!
01:04:42No, no, hold on.
01:04:43It's Fletcher back to his feet.
01:04:44Big thrust kick
01:04:45onto the jaw.
01:04:46Fletcher off the ropes.
01:04:47Caught by Briscoe!
01:04:48Briscoe has Fletcher now!
01:04:49Fletcher!
01:04:50Oh, Spicoli driver!
01:04:51Pops up!
01:04:52Pops through!
01:04:53Pops all the way
01:04:54to the top!
01:04:55Here it comes, Froggy!
01:04:58Boom!
01:04:59That'll do it, Ricobardi!
01:05:01I promise you that much!
01:05:02No!
01:05:06What?
01:05:07How?
01:05:09How?
01:05:11You can count
01:05:12on a malformed hand
01:05:14the amount of people
01:05:15that have kicked out
01:05:16of the Froggy ball.
01:05:17Add Cal Fletcher to the list,
01:05:19but not to this list right here.
01:05:21Uh-oh!
01:05:23He's calling
01:05:24for the J-Driller!
01:05:26Arms!
01:05:27Double underhook!
01:05:28J!
01:05:29No!
01:05:30Around, wrist caught.
01:05:31It's Fletcher.
01:05:32Oh, that huge forearm
01:05:33by Fletcher!
01:05:34Off the ropes,
01:05:35Briscoe follows him
01:05:36with a problem of his own.
01:05:37The world champion!
01:05:38The TV champion!
01:05:39Off the ropes!
01:05:40Big knee!
01:05:41Knee catches Briscoe!
01:05:43Now off the ropes,
01:05:44Briscoe, unforced error,
01:05:45runs into the big size
01:05:4714 on Fletcher!
01:05:48How relentless is Fletcher?
01:05:50Not as relentless as
01:05:52but you see the way
01:05:53Fletcher's head ricocheted
01:05:54off that turnbuckle.
01:05:55Wait a minute!
01:05:56J!
01:05:58Driller!
01:05:59Got him!
01:06:01Cover!
01:06:02That's it!
01:06:03Reach for the sky, boy!
01:06:06The winner of this match
01:06:08and still
01:06:09Ring of Honor world champion
01:06:12Mark Briscoe!
01:06:17Wow!

01:06:22to show the people in my town

01:06:32maybe the best wrestling match
01:06:33we've seen

01:06:37A match befitting of any
01:06:39pay-per-view of any Honor Club exclusive.
01:06:42And I couldn't be more proud
01:06:44to have this man
01:06:46as our champion right now.
01:06:47Caprice, great effort from Fletcher.
01:06:49Mark Briscoe just a little bit better here tonight.
01:06:51You already know how I feel about our champion.
01:06:53That's one of my best friends right there.
01:06:55But I tell you what,
01:06:56Kyle Fletcher has nothing to hang his head down for.
01:06:59My God, the future of Kyle Fletcher
