00:00:36A preview of the Women's Pure Title Tournament here tonight,

00:00:46The women want the pure title, and they're here from all over the world.
00:00:49Olympia from CMLL is in action, and she's taking on Viva Van.
00:00:54And that's not all.
00:00:57Mixed tag team action here tonight, as the Death Riders,

00:01:04Don't adjust the screens, you're at the right station.
00:01:08Mr. Cole is in the house tonight, and he's taking on MXM Mansoor.
00:01:14And that match is up next.
00:01:15Wow, what a way to start things off.
00:01:20As the biggest box office attraction in Mexico joins us in the city of brotherly love.
00:01:28This match is set for one for the 20 minute time limit.
00:01:32Introducing first, being accompanied by Alex,
00:01:35Amber Huntins, wrestling out of Mexico City, Mexico.
00:01:39Weigh 83 kilos, Mystico!
00:01:45Memoero plays throughout the 2300 Arena for the man who's 5-0 in Ring of Honor.
00:01:51One third of the CMLL Trios Champions.
00:01:55And, of course, All-O-H has put a target on the back of this man.
00:02:05As portions of the Philadelphia crowd is joining the chorus at Memoero.
00:02:12That's my jam, man.
00:02:13Epic entrance for a big time box office star, a headliner.
00:02:20And it is tomorrow night when he challenges MJF at the 92nd anniversary.
00:02:29Anniversario in Arena Mexico.
00:02:31It will be Mystico's mask versus MJF's world title.
00:02:36Of course, I was in the center of the ring with MJF.
00:02:39He's got his eyes on Mark Briscoe Saturday at All Out.
00:02:44We'll talk about that in just one minute.
00:02:47But you can't take your eyes off of this man.
00:02:49I know I got mine locked in.
00:02:51Yeah!
00:02:53It's a funny.
00:02:54Be accompanied by Taya Valkyrie, Johnny TV, and Mason Madden.
00:03:00Let's go to Venice, Florida.
00:03:02Weighing 217 pounds, he is representing MXMTV, Mansour.
00:03:13Wow, look at the pageantry of MXMTV.
00:03:17There's Mansour.
00:03:19What an attire.
00:03:20There's that seed.
00:03:21Unfortunately, two weeks ago, Caprice, it led to a victory for Johnny TV.
00:03:27Yeah, I don't think you like the fragrance of that seed.
00:03:29I don't.
00:03:30And I do like the pageantry, man.
00:03:34Mansour, that's awesome what he's wearing.
00:03:36And also accustomed to this culture back home, man.
00:03:41It's awesome to see the appearance that they have, man.
00:03:45They are definitely TV ready, TV stars.
00:03:47Watch this, Rick Avani.
00:03:48Oh, wait a minute.
00:03:52As MXMTV in the ring striking a pose.
00:04:00Man, what an international bout we have.
00:04:04Originally from Saudi Arabia, Mansour versus Mexico's Mystico.
00:04:10It is truly an international affair here tonight.
00:04:12The bell is off here as we are on our way to All Out this Saturday.
00:04:20It's going to be a heck of a card, a heck of an event.
00:04:23Toronto, Ontario, Caprice, the Ring of Honor world champion.
00:04:27Let's not forget he's defending the tag team championships.
00:04:32Price double champ in the four-way ladder match.
00:04:37And then MJF, who we talked about, will be defending
00:04:41the CMLL world title tomorrow night.
00:04:44Arena Mexico, 92nd anniversary.
00:04:47Anniversario against Mystico, mask versus title.
00:04:53And Mystico really finds himself in the same position MJF finds himself
00:04:57in tomorrow night.
00:04:57You can't look past your opponent.
00:05:00My God.
00:05:01No match, too small, all matches marquee for both match.
00:05:05Yeah, you can never do that because you know Mansour is looking for
00:05:08an opportunity to stand out if he gets to win over Mexico, over Mystico.
00:05:12He can say, hey, I deserve this picture.
00:05:15I deserve this spotlight.
00:05:17Look at him now, man.
00:05:18He already feels like he deserves the spotlight and you can't really deny it.
00:05:21Again.
00:05:23Wow, yeah.
00:05:25Let's get a ring.
00:05:26Oh, no.
00:05:27What?
00:05:27I thought he was in the match.
00:05:28We could find him in that pose.
00:05:30We're going to replay it now.
00:05:32Well, yeah, that was good, too.
00:05:34Mystico.
00:05:35Up and over.
00:05:37And let's not forget, Mansour, back in final battle, took on Atlantis Jr.
00:05:43In what was a great match.
00:05:44Experienced competitor against Luchadores.
00:05:47Experienced in Mexico for CMLL, Mansour.
00:05:51There's no bigger match in Mexico than a masked match, man.
00:05:56When a competitor loses the match and they lose the mask, that's like the lowest you can go.
00:06:00And it's really upset families.
00:06:02Wow.
00:06:03Pour up legacies.
00:06:04It's exposed things.
00:06:05And for Mystico to accept that challenge, man, it's a big deal.
00:06:09It certainly is.
00:06:10Things have scrolled over from AEW to ROH to CMLL from Mystico and MJF.
00:06:19And honestly, after talking with MJF on collision, what?
00:06:21What just happened?
00:06:25Is he trying to say that?
00:06:27Oh, he's trying to.
00:06:29Mansour trying to say Abrahantes.
00:06:31He's slapped, Mansour, Mansour taking advantage of Brandon Martinez being distracted,
00:06:39going to the eyes of Mystico.
00:06:41Cover.
00:06:44Unbelievable.
00:06:46That's what happens when you have four people outside the ring and three of them in your corner.
00:06:51Ooh, now to the outside.
00:06:53Come on.
00:06:54Yeah.
00:06:56Four against one right now.
00:06:58And look at Taya feigning concern there.
00:07:03Alex Abrahantes trying to.
00:07:04I almost want to say five against one with Seed.
00:07:07Well, and Seed, unfortunately, as repugnant and repulsive as it is.
00:07:11Oh, wait a minute.
00:07:12Hey.
00:07:13That's John Cruz?
00:07:16That is not John Cruz.
00:07:19Oh, that's been so gone to the mask.
00:07:21Who is that then?
00:07:22I don't.
00:07:22He looks very dapper.
00:07:24I feel like I've seen him before.
00:07:25I feel like I've learned about him before, actually.
00:07:28Well, we are close to Gettysburg in Philadelphia as Mansour going to the mask of Mystico.
00:07:37Cruz has been in the corner.
00:07:40He does resemble John Cruz.
00:07:41Four scores and seven.
00:07:43I don't know.
00:07:44Yeah.
00:07:45Up to the top.
00:07:46Mansour Cruz has been in the corner of MJF in Mexico in CMLL.
00:07:51Beautiful.
00:07:52My God, that was a beautiful moonsault.
00:07:55Nobody home.
00:07:56Mansour, no matter what you think about him, man.
00:07:59This is an athlete that has so much for the wrestling community.
00:08:07And it is Mystico beautiful.
00:08:10Flying head scissor there.
00:08:13And Cruz appears to be writing down a proclamation or some sort of address.
00:08:18Oh, taking.
00:08:21You think he's still feeling the effects of that slap from Mystico, Caprice?
00:08:24It may be.
00:08:25Watch this.
00:08:26Wow.
00:08:27Wow.
00:08:27Mystico so athletic, man.
00:08:28On his feet, rebound, catches that power slam.
00:08:31Two.
00:08:33Two count there.
00:08:35And Mansour, Mansour looking up like a tag.
00:08:40You gotta agree with that, man.
00:08:41Most of the time we see Mansour is in tag team match and he must be so much danger.
00:08:47That's just escape.
00:08:51What?
00:08:51We know what this is.
00:08:52No.
00:08:53No, no, no, no.
00:08:53What is this?
00:08:55What is this?
00:08:55It's on the team.
00:08:56There you go.
00:08:57It's all caught, caught red-handed.
00:08:59And it is Mystico.
00:09:07Mystico, wait a minute.
00:09:08To the outside.
00:09:11Journey TV.
00:09:13Mason Madden take it out.
00:09:16Off the ladder, Mystico with a big kick there.
00:09:18Mystico's speed is so fast.
00:09:22Wow.
00:09:24Beautiful stalling cross body.
00:09:25It was almost like Mystico was floating.
00:09:27And now Mystico around.
00:09:30La Mystica.
00:09:31That's gonna be enough.
00:09:32The winner of this match, by submission, Mystico.
00:09:43And will that be a preview for tomorrow night?
00:09:47And Arena Mexico, 92nd Anniversario and John Cruz coming to get a better look.
00:09:53And he's telling Mystico, manana, manana, la mascara is gone.
00:10:04Calling a shot for MJF, mask versus championship.
00:10:10What a huge week in professional wrestling, Anniversario tomorrow.
00:10:14All out on Saturday.
00:10:16But Mystico, next time we see him in Ring of Honor,
00:10:20he could have two CMLL titles around his way.
00:10:23Or when we see his face.
00:10:25Go north and find your meaning.
00:10:31This is about our legacy.
00:10:33The best tag team of all time.
00:10:36Take what is yours.
00:10:37This Christian Cage will be the best tag team partner you've ever had.
00:10:42You're dead men.
00:10:43And on that night in Toronto, go all out.
00:10:47For the first time ever, it's CNC versus FTR.
00:10:51AEW all out from Scotiabank Arena in Toronto.
00:10:59History will be made.
00:11:00The first match in the tournament to crown the first ever women's beer champion.
00:11:04There are wrestlers and then there is Queen Aminata.
00:11:07It's our first semi-finalist is set.
00:11:10She will take on the winner.
00:11:12Krisha Dora, Diana Peraza.
00:11:14Wait a minute.
00:11:15Who better than the virtuosa?
00:11:19Maybe you've got some confused.
00:11:20You got mean ass.
00:11:22I'm the one you need to be taught.
00:11:24You will not walk right past me.
00:11:27I'm not just overlooking you.
00:11:29I'm overlooking everyone.
00:11:32It seems everybody in this tournament has main character syndrome.
00:11:35They all think they have a chance of winning this,
00:11:37but deep down they all know that this tournament has always been about the professor.
00:11:41Serena Deeb versus Yuka Sakazaki.
00:11:44I'm Sakazaki the ROH Women's Pure Champion.
00:11:50Billy Starks, she will face CMLL star Olympia.
00:11:53Soy Olympia, y voy a ser la campeona pura de Ring of Honor.
00:12:01What can I say?
00:12:02Tournaments are my thing.
00:12:03This woman has made history.
00:12:05I was the first ever ROH TV champion.
00:12:08I will be the first ever Pure Rules champion.
00:12:14The Women's Pure Tournament kicked off at death before dishonor.
00:12:23Queen Amanata, our first semi-finalist.
00:12:26Three huge quarterfinal matches to come.
00:12:29Including this woman, a second generation star making her Ring of Honor debut here tonight.
00:12:35A power lifting sensation.
00:12:38Let's take it to Justin Roberts.
00:12:39The following is a Pure Rules match.
00:12:43Set for one fall.
00:12:45A virgin ring first.
00:12:46Olympia.
00:12:48Olympia.
00:12:52Look at that mask.
00:12:53The Kate.
00:12:55CMLL standout.
00:12:57I was looking at her biceps, her triceps, her traps, her shoulders, her delt.
00:13:03The world.
00:13:04Wow.
00:13:05Look, looks like she's carved out of granite.
00:13:08Oh my goodness.
00:13:09Olympia, who has ranked quite well in the CMLL bodybuilding competitions, nationally ranked in
00:13:17Mexico making her ROH debut here tonight.
00:13:22And her opponent, Viva Van.
00:13:27But it's always interesting, Caprice, because there are young stars who continue to knock at the door.
00:13:33There are young stars who continue to climb the ladder.
00:13:37Viva Van, a product of the New Japan Academy.
00:13:42Here in Ring of Honor, we've seen her challenge some of the very best, including the Ring of Honor
00:13:48World Champion, Athena, including Sky Blue, Queen Amanata, who is a semi-finalist in the tournament
00:13:55to crown the first ever Women's Pure Champion.
00:13:58I don't know how kindly Viva Van takes to a star coming from outside the organization,
00:14:04earning a spot in the Pure Tournament.
00:14:06Well, I believe Viva Van, like many, try to make the best out of opportunities,
00:14:11but Viva Van herself claims to be the first Vietnamese wrestler to wrestle on American soil.
00:14:18She has a lot of pride in herself and has held multiple titles across the world and in America.
00:14:25Every time we see Viva Van here, we know the hell-bent vixen wants to make a statement.
00:14:32And the Code of Honor adhere to, of course, in Pure Rules.
00:14:35We will see two great matches in the Women's Pure division here tonight.
00:14:40Those three hash marks under each athlete's name, those are rope breaks.
00:14:42If you exhaust your opponent's rope breaks, you can pin or submit your opponent in, under,
00:14:47between the ropes, using the ropes even.
00:14:4920 count on the outside, one closed fist results in a warning, a second a disqualification.
00:14:54The bout has a 10-minute time limit.
00:14:56Should it go to the time limit, it goes to our judges, Dean Malenko, Chris Hero,
00:15:00and former ROH World Champion Jerry Lynn, as a top wrist lock said here.
00:15:05And this is a great, I don't want to say warm-up that diminishes Viva Van,
00:15:08but this is a great test in the Pure Division for Olympia here.
00:15:11Absolutely, I was looking for, see how Olympia is going to approach this match
00:15:16and to see if she's going to use power or flexibility, she's using all of it.
00:15:20It's like you look at her and you see strength, but she's agile as well, very nimble, and so is Viva Van.
00:15:26I want to see what Viva Van has to offer to the Pure Division, Viva Van known for a striking ability.
00:15:34But a little bit of losing here.
00:15:39And Viva Van, who was in the Women's Television Title Tournament,
00:15:43here to show folks why she should be in the Pure Tournament, doing a great job of it right now.
00:15:47Absolutely.
00:15:50And charging in.
00:15:52Amazing what people will adjust to to get championships.
00:15:58But when I look at Pure Athletes, man, I'm looking at Olympia, man, and she just looks like a Pure Athlete.
00:16:03Kind of reminds me of a Josh Woods.
00:16:05Watch this lock here by Viva Van.
00:16:08Yeah, that knee is straight, could be hyperextended.
00:16:11Olympia, though, the smart thing, rolling to alleviate the pressure, getting the knee bent,
00:16:16stepping through, almost into a grapevine of her own instead.
00:16:19And a bit of a Moonalock here.
00:16:21Great decision by Viva Van to attack the leg, but just that fast Olympia out of it, man,
00:16:26you have to wear it down a lot more to be able to lock on something like that.
00:16:30Viva Van has used her first Ropes field.
00:16:33Viva Van going to the ropes for the first time there.
00:16:37We're two minutes in to this 10-minute time limit bout as Olympia not afraid to use the entire ring as we see in there.
00:16:46Second-generation star.
00:16:47Whoa.
00:16:49Look at that.
00:16:50Wow.
00:16:50And that pendulous force, leg hook, two.
00:16:56Two.
00:16:57And Olympia, of course, the daughter of Valiente, multiple-time champion in CMLL,
00:17:05but also training under Skyda, Yave style.
00:17:11Up and over.
00:17:11Your wrestling's in your blood, man.
00:17:14Oh, my goodness.
00:17:15That's that kick I was talking about from Viva Van.
00:17:17One, two.
00:17:18Cover, two.
00:17:21Two count there.
00:17:22Got multiple strikes that she can hit out of anywhere.
00:17:27And that's the interesting part.
00:17:29A lot of times in these pure matches, strikers do quite well because you have athletes not
00:17:34as used to the rules coming in trying to wrestle, but strikes are legal, just not close fists.
00:17:38Right, and strikes can knock you out.
00:17:40Look at this, Olympia squatting Viva Van making it look like light work.
00:17:47Olympia!
00:17:49That's impressive.
00:17:51Samoan drop, plants Viva Van, the cover, two.
00:17:58Two count there, Olympia sensing the advantage here in this pure rules match.
00:18:04Of course, Olympia will meet Billy Starks in the quarterfinals of the tournament to crown
00:18:08the first ever women's pure champion.
00:18:11But Viva Van looking to take the advantage.
00:18:17Nice ascend, leg hooked, two, two count there.
00:18:25And I've never, Caprice, I've never seen a ref overturn their decision based on someone
00:18:30complaining.
00:18:30I don't know.
00:18:31No, it's not gonna happen.
00:18:33Also, it's unique how Viva Van uses the springboards.
00:18:36Bottom row, we'll just hold on.
00:18:37I thought Olympia was holding onto that bridge, lets go of that German suplex.
00:18:42Viva Van slow to her feet, needing assistance to get back to her feet.
00:18:47And charging in, it's Viva Van though with a big elbow, seems to have an answer for everything.
00:18:52Olympia has dished out.
00:18:54Oh, goodness.
00:18:55Up kick.
00:18:57I mean body strikes, Viva Van.
00:19:01And Viva Van, I mean if Viva Van wins here, she's got to be right, right in line for the first title
00:19:08shot, wait a minute, wow.
00:19:09Olympia, the power, the strike, swing out slam, bridge, two, that's it.
00:19:16Wow.
00:19:17And the former Women's World Television Champion,
00:19:26Billie Starks will have her hands full against this powerhouse.
00:19:31When Billie and Olympia meet in the quarterfinals of the tournament,
00:19:35the first ever Women's Beer Champion.
00:19:38Next week, a huge week for LFI, Sammy Guevara and Roosh defend the ROH World Tag Team titles
00:19:43against the two men Sammy Guevara left at the Sportatorium, Ross and Marshall Von Erich.
00:19:50We have a Ring of Honor debut.
00:19:53You can see, of a very familiar face.
00:19:56Welcome to Ring of Honor, to this man.
00:19:59This match is set for one fall, a 20-minute time limit.
00:20:04Approaching the ring, weighing 186 pounds, Allen Angels.
00:20:11Well, very important in the history of AEW were the Dark Order.
00:20:17Allen Angels, pretty much a charter member of the Dark Order.
00:20:21Right.
00:20:22He went out on his own in 2022.
00:20:26Finds himself here in Ring of Honor in singles competition, but
00:20:31looking across the ring at a beast.
00:20:34His opponent, Pascal Torreau of Mexico, weighing 245 pounds.
00:20:40He's representing La Facción Ingo Bernabé, The Beast Mortos.
00:20:47LFI's Beast Mortos, of course, next week.
00:20:53His compadres, Roosh, Sammy Guevara of LFI, defending the ROH World Tag Team titles
00:21:00against the Von Erich.
00:21:01The Von Erich feel betrayed by Sammy Guevara.
00:21:04They should feel betrayed, Ronnie.
00:21:07Absolutely no argument there.
00:21:10Sammy essentially spurning.
00:21:12Oh!
00:21:13Not even a lockup, not even a start, straight to the shoulder tackle.
00:21:17Beast Mortos takes control very early.
00:21:21Allen Angels finds himself on the back foot, trying to get right back into this.
00:21:24Nice drop down, almost catches Beast.
00:21:26It's Angels, the single leg drop kick there.
00:21:29And the Beast Mortos may be seeing right after last night, but
00:21:32we know now he will not be seeing the AEW Unified Championship at all now.
00:21:36Angels right block, it's Mortos delivers.
00:21:43Ooh, whoa, smart move by Allen Angels.
00:21:48And up and over, look at that.
00:21:51Triangle style stomp there, and Angels has got Beast Mortos reeling this misdirection.
00:21:57Allen Angels!
00:21:58That's what it takes, man, so you think offense makes you different, makes you stand out.
00:22:03That's exactly what Allen Angels is doing right now.
00:22:06I've never seen Beast Mortos in this much trouble so fast.
00:22:10Oh, Beast Mortos, who's been on a roll, who has been 10-0 in single competition in ROH in 2025.
00:22:19As Angels caught, it's Beast Mortos.
00:22:22Oh, no.
00:22:23Oh, that could have been it right there.
00:22:25Whoa, nice recovery.
00:22:28And Allen Angels off the ropes, Beast Mortos.
00:22:31Look at the confidence, the power.
00:22:33Beast Mortos about to plant Angels across the knee.
00:22:38And the man.
00:22:39That power.
00:22:40Oh, big lariat.
00:22:42Velocity.
00:22:43The man with a Jazzwares action figure coming out.
00:22:46We saw it at Sydney on Comic-Con.
00:22:48Look at the end, Allen Angels here.
00:22:51Gotta be enough.
00:22:51He might come to the Jazzwares vault.
00:22:53Two, a three.
00:22:56The winner of this match, the Beast Mortos.
00:23:01Well, man, is that Beast Mortos action figure coming soon?
00:23:07But Beast Mortos, 11-0 in single competition.
00:23:13Wait, wait, John Crew, excuse me?
00:23:16Mystico, let last week be the final time you put your hands on my face.
00:23:25Now, looking ahead, tomorrow night is the final time you put that stupid mask on yours.
00:23:35MJF versus Mystico.
00:23:37Title versus mask.
00:23:39Mystico, this is the most important match of your life.
00:23:43And not only is MJF coming to defeat you, not only is MJF coming to humiliate you,
00:23:50he's coming to steal your livelihood.
00:23:54Así que nos vemos mañana en la Arena México.
00:23:59Don't forget.
00:24:00MJF is better than you, y tú lo sabes, perooooooooooo.
00:24:13Cannot wait for tomorrow night.
00:24:17CMLO, Anniversario the 92nd.
00:24:20This match is set for one ball and
00:24:23it will be contested under pure wrestling rules.
00:24:27Approaching the ring, this one of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
00:24:31Weighing 205 pounds, Matt Binko.
00:24:37Certainly not an underdog, but certainly someone you can root for
00:24:40in his hometown in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
00:24:44Matt Binko continues his pro wrestling journey,
00:24:46the former Bellator star.
00:24:49He's really found a niche going strike for
00:24:52strike with some of the best wrestlers and strikers in ROH.
00:24:55And he's dialed up perhaps the very best.
00:25:01His opponent, just got a Tokyo, Japan, weighing 209 pounds.
00:25:07He is one-third of the AEW World Trio's champions,
00:25:12the wrestler, Katsuyoshi Shibata.
00:25:21The former Ring of Honor pure champion,
00:25:24one of the all-time great never openweight champions in New Japan.
00:25:28And one-third of the AEW Trio's champs in the Ops.
00:25:34Katsuyoshi Shibata, one of the hardest hitting,
00:25:37most technically grounded wrestlers we've ever seen.
00:25:41One of the last disciples, the last pupils of Antonio Inoki,
00:25:45himself in the ring here tonight.
00:25:47What a battle we're going to see, Caprice.
00:25:49Yeah, I'm curious about the approach that Shibata's going to bring to this match.
00:25:52Matt Binko, definitely known for striking ability, former MMA fighter.
00:25:57I wonder if Shibata's going to try to straight-wrestle, use the strikes,
00:26:00so just continue to be who he is, a dominant wrestler on all facets.
00:26:05Nice waistlock here.
00:26:06And of course, oh, looking for the double wristlock.
00:26:08Maybe the Kimura instead goes to the single wristlock.
00:26:12Shibata, no stranger to MMA in his own right,
00:26:14also a mixed martial artist as well.
00:26:17And he steps right over that attempt at the ankle pick.
00:26:21Short-arm scissor lock attempt here.
00:26:24Yep, yeah, and Mako very smartly locking the hands,
00:26:27trying to alleviate some of the pressure.
00:26:28And look at Mako grabbing the leg with his own legs.
00:26:31Yeah.
00:26:32Of course, this is pure rules, same rules as we saw in our women's contest
00:26:36with Olympia at Viva Van.
00:26:38We'll be watching the rope breaks, the closed fists, 20 on the outside.
00:26:44Mako's been making a lot of appearances in Ring of Honor, man.
00:26:49And every appearance he's made has been impressive.
00:26:52You know, he's stepping in a deep end with Shibata, but he looks at home.
00:26:56Absolutely, I love seeing Matt Mako here.
00:26:59It really felt like a, almost like a what might have been a casualty
00:27:03of that pandemic era.
00:27:05Matt Mako, wait a minute, if someone who was on the rise
00:27:08and maybe had the world been opened up,
00:27:11he would have gotten the opportunities we're getting now.
00:27:13I'm so thankful he kept with it and he kept pushing
00:27:16and that we're seeing him in big matches now.
00:27:18Absolutely, and that fusion that he's made from MMA to wrestling,
00:27:21it's been a great fusion to be able to fluently go back inside there.
00:27:25And it's almost like when you want a good match, you better call Mako.
00:27:28Well, he's really keeping up with Shibata, and he, oh, look at that.
00:27:32Trying for the head scissor, maybe one.
00:27:35And that defense into offense, Shibata catches the single leg crab.
00:27:38Now stepping through, looking at a great find the figure four.
00:27:41Yeah, locked in.
00:27:43Dinner of the ring, man, and Shibata just stays at peace with the figure four
00:27:46leg lock because he knows no matter how long he has it in, even if it doesn't
00:27:50want him to match, the damage is done.
00:27:53And Shibata with the figure four locked in.
00:27:58It's almost like a technical shotgun offense for Shibata.
00:28:05He's so difficult to wrestle.
00:28:06Oh, wait a minute, Mako, Mako with a reverse.
00:28:10Reversing the pressure there.
00:28:11Shibata will grab anything that moves, but right now, Mako has Shibata stuck.
00:28:17Yeah.
00:28:17And that reverse figure four's sent back, and it's Shibata wrenching it in now.
00:28:21When you reverse the figure four, man, it's an instant calf crusher effect that it has.
00:28:30And Mako, trying to untangle the knot, swinging back, pressure back on, and Shibata now.
00:28:38There's nowhere you can do, man, it's the alligator mouth closed.
00:28:43And Mako, trying to make a decision, goes to the ropes.
00:28:48That is heartbreak number one, used by Matt Mako.
00:28:56But the damage done to both men, Shibata, you see, trying to shake that knee out.
00:29:00Mako with a little bit of a limp there.
00:29:02I wonder who's gonna show the wear on here.
00:29:05Shibata with the first strike, giving up the leg, though.
00:29:10Shibata went into the corner with that foot up, right into Mako's face.
00:29:17So much damage that Shibata does that if you blink your eye, you'll miss it.
00:29:21And just so calm.
00:29:25It's almost effortless violence from Shibata, yeah.
00:29:30Ice cold, man.
00:29:31Into the corner.
00:29:34And Shibata charging in, oh, driving through.
00:29:42And Shibata with Mako right where he wants the front face lock.
00:29:50Oh, that half hatch.
00:29:52Float over cover.
00:29:53Two, two count, grabs a hold of the arm.
00:29:56Man, it's transition, yeah.
00:29:57The half hatch was a plant, man, and that pin anticipating the transition right
00:30:02to an arm bar here, straight arm bar.
00:30:05Ooh, Mako, now this is triangle choke.
00:30:09Triangle choke.
00:30:10Beautiful transitions.
00:30:12Oh, do you see the blood, wait a minute, the stack?
00:30:14Two, and that's a very smart move from Mako.
00:30:17Mako's been there before, man.
00:30:19That's the thing about the MMA fighters and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu,
00:30:22so many situations you're familiar with and you know how to, wow.
00:30:27Break through, he's gonna take his shoulder out.
00:30:29Yeah, look at it, dislocate the elbow, the pump handle.
00:30:32Wow, looking for a cross arm bar of his own.
00:30:36But Shibata, no, Mako blocks it, Mako blocks it, but for how long?
00:30:41Got to break that grip there that Mako has.
00:30:43Got to push his foot through before Mako rotates.
00:30:47Yep, he's got to break it again, too.
00:30:49And Mako has an answer for everything, at least at the moment.
00:30:52Spinning kick for the midsection, front facelot, double underhook.
00:30:56Beautiful butterfly suplex, cover there.
00:31:00One, two, and smart move, smart move, bit of a trap for Mako of his own there.
00:31:07Both guys trying to get these straight arm barred, it's not working.
00:31:10Mako trying to push his arm free with that leg.
00:31:13Jibata holding on, Mako transitions to the leg, gonna get the back, but choke.
00:31:18Body scissor with a choke, and Mako, Mako wrestling the match of his life right now.
00:31:22Man, he's got those legs locked in, Python.
00:31:25Hard to get out of that, unless you crush the ankle.
00:31:28That's the ankle lock right there on Mako.
00:31:30He's got the ankle lock.
00:31:31That's Shibata, locked in, Shibata there, stepping through, and the ankle lock there.
00:31:36The knee bar, the ankle lock.
00:31:39Shibata's hugging that ankle, man, that's how you do it.
00:31:43Get center as well.
00:31:45And Mako, look at Mako.
00:31:48He's got a decision to make here, you got two more, Matt.
00:31:52That is rope break number two, used by Matt Mako.
00:31:59Smart move to hang on to this match.
00:32:01Yeah. But it's Shibata, the former pure champion immediately back to his feet.
00:32:05Back to his feet, attacking the leg of Mako, right back to that knee bar.
00:32:09And looking for the separation.
00:32:13But Mako, look at this, look at the fight, Mako.
00:32:16Mako fighting with tooth and nail, but trying to escape, trying to escape.
00:32:20It's Mako hanging on.
00:32:21Nowhere he can go, though, he has to grab again.
00:32:24That is the third and final rope break for Matt Mako.
00:32:30Those strikes, when you're trapped like that, and those strikes don't have a lot
00:32:34of base behind them, you're trying to survive, man.
00:32:38Standing switch for Mako.
00:32:39Mako's gotta be careful not to get caught in a hole.
00:32:42Side of suplex, Shibata right back to his feet.
00:32:44Shibata back to his feet.
00:32:46Mako charging in.
00:32:47Shot to the jaw, that might have knocked Mako out.
00:32:49Mako might be out, the sleeper.
00:32:51Well, if he's not out then, he's about to be out now.
00:32:53This is a precursor.
00:32:55Rick and Bonnie, this match is almost over.
00:32:57Oh, Mako's out, and PK!
00:33:02Leg hook, two, three.
00:33:06The winner of this match, the wrestler, Katsuyori Shibata.
00:33:13That kick through the chest as strong as Fulham's newest signing, Kevin.
00:33:19As the former pure champion, Katsuyori Shibata,
00:33:23picks up a victory against the very game, Matt Mako.
00:33:25I was here to say, man, Matt Mako has nothing to be ashamed of.
00:33:30Great showing, great outing, much respect.
00:33:32Even Shibata is saying, hey, man, that was great, man.
00:33:36You know when you're in the ring with greatness.
00:33:38To get approval from Shibata doesn't get any better than that.
00:33:42Matt Mako showed us a lot here tonight.
00:33:46And for Mako, I mean, I know that we weren't the only ones impressed.
00:33:51If you go as long as you did with that man, Katsuyori Shibata,
00:33:55you've made a big impact.
00:33:56Shibata, your winner here in Philadelphia.
00:34:00I am sick of active wrestlers putting their hands on our manager.
00:34:05He has a manager's license, not a wrestling license all the time.
00:34:11Mark Sterling.
00:34:12No.
00:34:13Oh, no.
00:34:14Mark shouldn't have been there, but he hasn't gotten back up.
00:34:16Well, that just says to me that we need a contingency player.
00:34:22What in the, who is that?
00:34:27She's towering over everyone in the ring.
00:34:31This is Story Denali.
00:34:34Folks, this is our contingency plan.
00:34:46Mark Sterling handling things from home, but
00:34:49his contingency plan, Story Denali at full effect.
00:34:52We will see Story Denali, Tony Nese, and Ari Daivari in action next week.
00:34:59But right now, some mixed tag team action on tap.
00:35:06Just wreaking havoc for the entirety, the duration of our stay here in Philadelphia.
00:35:15And two of the main instigators are on their way.
00:35:20This is a mixed tag team match, except for one fall with a 20 minute time limit.
00:35:27Team number one, Wheeler Uda and Marina Shafir.
00:35:37Three times former pure champion, the most dangerous woman, Shafir.
00:35:44of Aaliyah James and Men Like D'Reese.
00:35:49A Man Like D'Reese, a long anticipated debut.
00:35:53Aaliyah James returning here to Ring of Honor.
00:35:57Huge fan of Men Like D'Reese, man.
00:36:01He's a great guy in England, and so is Aaliyah, but a man like D'Reese, man.
00:36:06He's a rapper.
00:36:07He's an entertainer.
00:36:08Very short of himself.
00:36:10That wrapping won't go too far with the roll the Death Riders are on as of late.
00:36:16Aaliyah James to the outside.
00:36:18Great star in the UK.
00:36:20It is now, Wheeler Uda, the front face lock on D'Reese.
00:36:24Mmm.
00:36:25Snap.
00:36:26Wow.
00:36:27Cover here.
00:36:28Of course, Death Before Dishonor in the rear view, but we can already look ahead to Ring
00:36:32of Honor's final battle.
00:36:34Coming your way from the Galaxy Con in Columbus, Ohio.
00:36:37Greater Columbus Convention Center, Friday.
00:36:39Oh, December 5th, an honor club exclusive event.
00:36:42Tickets available now is D'Reese, who really responding well.
00:36:48Getting back on his feet after being jumped by the former pure champion.
00:36:50That's right, man.
00:36:51D'Reese, man.
00:36:52He's been in this sport for six years and world-traveled.
00:36:55Oh!
00:36:57Yeah, we give a lot of love to Fulham here on ROH.
00:37:03D'Reese was a high-level amateur soccer player involved in some amateur clubs.
00:37:08He was in that professional pipeline, decided to take the fork in the road,
00:37:12become a great pro wrestler.
00:37:14Yeah.
00:37:15How often do you hear pro soccer player turn into a wrestler?
00:37:19Yeah.
00:37:20And to Reese, he's certainly got the power for it.
00:37:23Look at that.
00:37:24Oh, Yuta going to the ear and the side of the eye.
00:37:26What a...
00:37:27Whoa!
00:37:28Dirty.
00:37:29Expect nothing less from Yuta.
00:37:32Match just got more dangerous.
00:37:34We have a problem now, Rickabani.
00:37:37The supernova from Moldova.
00:37:39And this is a mixed tag, so it will be the women versus the women.
00:37:44The men versus the men!
00:37:45Oh, that point of the toe.
00:37:48All that power from Shafir.
00:37:53And look at this, the backslide.
00:37:54Aaliyah James.
00:37:56Shafir's seven-match winning streak.
00:37:59Whoa!
00:38:00Flying head scissors.
00:38:02Marina's frustrated now.
00:38:04Aaliyah!
00:38:05Aaliyah!
00:38:06Aaliyah!
00:38:07Aaliyah!
00:38:08Oh, wow!
00:38:09It's a straight kick, man.
00:38:10Straight kick to the chest.
00:38:11Oh!
00:38:12Floors Aaliyah and attack!
00:38:13Wow!
00:38:14See, are you supposed to do that in a mixed tag?
00:38:16You're not, the rules for this match are clear.
00:38:19Whoa, look at that!
00:38:21Match is almost over, man.
00:38:23That's never stopped Marina before, though, Caprice.
00:38:26Look at this.
00:38:27Of course not.
00:38:28She plays by her own rule book.
00:38:30And it could have been insult to injury, the foot across the mouth.
00:38:37You hear the crowd, man.
00:38:38Aaliyah's someone that's easy to love, man, easy to cheer for.
00:38:42Great personality.
00:38:44Very hungry wrestler.
00:38:45Right now she's tied up.
00:38:46Ooh!
00:38:47That's right here.
00:38:48Dang, there's no way out of this.
00:38:50This is a knot hold here.
00:38:51Oh, with the finger up to Darius.
00:38:53Aaliyah's smile can light up a room.
00:38:55Unfortunately, it's being extinguished by that knot hold.
00:38:59It's almost like Marina's playing with Aaliyah.
00:39:02Put these holes on her that she can't get out of.
00:39:06Aaliyah's gotta go for a ride, yeah.
00:39:08Whoa!
00:39:09It's almost like an exhibition, the way Marina's treating this right now.
00:39:14She's gotta be careful.
00:39:16If you get a chance to put Aaliyah away, you gotta put her away.
00:39:20And...
00:39:21Whoa!
00:39:22Whoa!
00:39:23That's question mark kick.
00:39:24Yeah.
00:39:25And Darius in.
00:39:26And Yuna hit.
00:39:27Big shotgun drop kick for Darius.
00:39:29And men like Darius, quick on his feet.
00:39:33That explosiveness.
00:39:34The power of Cerise!
00:39:38There's a reason why he's here.
00:39:40Action, baby.
00:39:42Shotgun drop kick.
00:39:44Look at the frame.
00:39:46One, two, one.
00:39:47Now they're ready.
00:39:50Around the world, plans to do it up.
00:39:53Uh-oh.
00:39:55This may be a mistake.
00:39:57Yep.
00:39:58Oh, that distraction.
00:40:00And roll up here.
00:40:02One, two.
00:40:03Oh, two!
00:40:04Darius back to his feet.
00:40:06Inverted atomic drop there.
00:40:08Insecure.
00:40:09Catches Darius.
00:40:10And a three-time former pure champion.
00:40:15Wheeler Yuta up and over.
00:40:17Whoa!
00:40:18Wow!
00:40:19Whoa!
00:40:20Big thrust kick there.
00:40:22As Yuta staggered.
00:40:25Wait a minute.
00:40:26That's the clothesline.
00:40:27Page out of Nigel McGinnis' playbook.
00:40:29Into the German suplex.
00:40:31Off the ropes.
00:40:32Whoa!
00:40:33What?
00:40:34Nice.
00:40:35Cutter!
00:40:36Cutter!
00:40:37Man like Darius is seeing some things that came from Bursa,
00:40:41but he saw that.
00:40:42He's able to hit that cutter.
00:40:43I'm impressed by a man like Darius, and you should be too.
00:40:47And Aaliyah James with the outstretched arm.
00:40:51Now if Aaliyah tags in, Yuta has to leave.
00:40:54Certainly does.
00:40:55And it's Aaliyah to the top.
00:40:57High crossbody.
00:40:58Wait a minute.
00:40:59One, two.
00:41:00And that's what Aaliyah James has to do.
00:41:02That's her best shot, is to move quick.
00:41:05One, two.
00:41:07Frankensteiner gets two.
00:41:10And Aaliyah.
00:41:12Oh, I don't know.
00:41:13This is not a road I would travel with.
00:41:15Yeah, Aaliyah was great when she was wrestling,
00:41:18but striking is not what you want to get into with Marina.
00:41:21Marina just absorbing everything.
00:41:24That knee is a knockout blow.
00:41:27My goodness.
00:41:28Back to that judo.
00:41:30My goodness.
00:41:31And Mother's Milk locked in and that's it.
00:41:34That's it.
00:41:35The winners of this match by submission,
00:41:40the team of Marina, Shafir, and Wheeler Yuda.
00:41:49Attacking like a pack out of the gate, the Death Riders secure the victory.
00:41:55It's a great effort from James and Derese.
00:41:58That's too, that is too big of a problem.
00:42:03Coming up next though, fans.
00:42:04Talk about big problems.
00:42:06Representing the Don Callis family, Lance Archer.
00:42:10He is in it.
00:42:11Wait, what?
00:42:12He's doing, excuse me?
00:42:13He's doing a camera?
00:42:15What in the world?
00:42:17Hurry up.
00:42:18We gotta play in the match.
00:42:19What?
00:42:20He's slamming that poor man's skull against me.
00:42:22Goodness.

00:43:23Don't want to stop your trauma.
00:43:25If I can beat up, I'm gonna take my side.

00:44:06Bernard DeBeer.
00:44:08We go from a big group to a big man.
00:44:10One in a billion.

00:44:15Aperture the ring from Bhujan, India.
00:44:18Standing at 7 feet 4 inches tall.
00:44:21Weighing 404 pounds.
00:44:24One in a billion, Satnam Singh.
00:44:29Just an incredible sight.
00:44:32Satnam Singh here tonight.
00:44:35And his opponent, CPA.
00:44:48Working man, right, businessman.
00:44:51That's right, CPA.
00:44:52Folks, he is an accountant.
00:44:55Much like our good friend D'Lo Brown.
00:44:59Former ROH star.
00:45:00But CPA, you know, giving up a little bit of size here.
00:45:03I hope he has a good insurance policy.
00:45:06Well.
00:45:06Satnam Singh continues to get better everywhere he goes, man.
00:45:10Big body slap.
00:45:12Yeah, I saw that.
00:45:13He's applying his craft.
00:45:15And, of course, you can get all the great Satnam Singh.
00:45:18And you heard the music of GF, Jared, J. Lethal.
00:45:20You can get their merchandise.
00:45:21Oh!
00:45:22On Shop AEW and ShopHonor.com.
00:45:25Of course, GF, Jared, part of that great ceremony honoring hot stuff.
00:45:28Clayton Gilbert here last Saturday, including Doug Gilbert, the brother of the late, great
00:45:34Eddie Gilbert, as well as Tommy Rich, Wildfire, and Sting.
00:45:39No, no, no, no, no, no.
00:45:40Speaking of Sting.
00:45:41Uh-oh.
00:45:42Whoa!
00:45:43What?
00:45:44I expected more.
00:45:46Whoa!
00:45:47Big drop kick here.
00:45:50Whoa!
00:45:51Whoa!
00:45:51Oh!
00:45:53The shirt is off!
00:45:55CPA, is he a never nude?
00:45:57Hey, what?
00:45:58Look at this.
00:45:59Well, that's a thing.
00:46:01Off the ropes.
00:46:03Oh, no, and home with the big boot.
00:46:05Hey.
00:46:06Yeah.
00:46:07CPA.
00:46:10Where once there was a tie, there was a giant hand.
00:46:13CPA, taking it to NAP.
00:46:15Cover.
00:46:16Two.
00:46:17That's it.
00:46:19Now let it be this match.
00:46:20Satnam Singh.
00:46:23Seven feet, four inches tall, eight and oh.
00:46:27Continues his streak of winning singles matches in four minutes or less.
00:46:31Satnam Singh victorious this week.
00:46:41Hey, guys.
00:46:42What's new?
00:46:44Where you been?
00:46:47Vacation.
00:46:49Vacation?
00:46:49Where?
00:46:50You look kind of pale.
00:46:52Okay, so I wasn't on vacation.
00:46:54Paul Walter Howser, he did a lot better than I ever expected, and I'm finally able to get
00:46:59out of the house.
00:47:02There he is.
00:47:03There he is.
00:47:04The greatest celebrity opponent of all time.
00:47:07Please, Solo.
00:47:08Please, Solo.
00:47:10No, seriously.
00:47:12You are the LeBron of wrestling celebrities.
00:47:16Solo, you are way too kind.
00:47:19Wait, wait, wait.
00:47:19No, you're the Kobashi of wrestling celebrities.
00:47:22Solo, anytime I see a celebrity, I hit him as hard as I possibly can.
00:47:28It's literally what anyone would do.
00:47:32Seriously, though.
00:47:33That was one of the best celebrity wrestling matches of all time.
00:47:37Yes, and then you fisted Paul Walter Howser.
00:47:40Um, what?
00:47:42No.
00:47:43Roll it, please.
00:47:44No, don't roll the footage.
00:47:53Oh, fist bumped, Carly.
00:47:55I fist bumped Paul Walter Howser.
00:47:57Fisted, fist bumped, potato, tomato, same thing.
00:48:03Anyway, I was a little surprised you actually did.
00:48:07Speaking of surprises, did you see what Don Callis did to Big Boom AJ in Big Justice?
00:48:13Roll the additional footage.
00:48:19Cut, cut, cut, cut, cut, cut the footage.
00:48:22Look, I know those guys put me through a lot, but even I have to admit that what Don Callis
00:48:26and Rocky Romero did to them, it's too heinous for me to even want to air on QTV.
00:48:32Are you defending AJ in Big Justice?
00:48:36No, Solo, I'm not defending AJ in Big Justice.
00:48:39What do you think, I have something in common with two burly boys from New Jersey that are
00:48:43Italian, that have a passion for professional wrestling, that clamor for online fame and enjoy
00:48:49bulk foods?
00:48:55All right, guys, I've got to wrap this up.
00:48:56I've got other steps to do.
00:49:05Well, the Women's Tournament, we are down to seven competitors, but one we'll see here tonight,
00:49:10Yuka Sakazaki in her exhibition bout.
00:49:13Ahead of her quarterfinal match, and I just got a huge smile across my face.
00:49:23This is Yuka Sakazaki, Yuka Sakazaki, Yuka Sakazaki time.
00:49:27This match is set for one fall, and it will be contested under pure wrestling rules.
00:49:32Approaching the ring, listening to Southbound, Yuka Sakazaki.
00:49:41Yuka Sakazaki, Yuka Sakazaki, Yuka Sakazaki.
00:49:43It's so much fun to say, Yuka Sakazaki was in the Serena Thief in the quarterfinals, but
00:49:51here tonight, we go back to Bobby Cruz.
00:49:53Her opponent, Jani Kai.
00:49:55Uh-oh.
00:49:59Caprice, we know a lot about Jani Kai.
00:50:02Absolutely, and Jani Kai is every bit of how she appears, man.
00:50:06Very violent striker.
00:50:08Great wrestler as well.
00:50:11He hits you with all eight points, man.
00:50:13That's knees, elbows, feet, head, everything, man.
00:50:16Well, she's known as the kick demon.
00:50:20Of course, this is our third pure rules bout of the night.
00:50:23Nice switch into the drop toe hole.
00:50:27And it is Shani Kai.
00:50:30Matt wrestling here.
00:50:31That hammer lock into the roll through from Yuka.
00:50:35And Yuka's going to be a tough out in this pure tournament, Caprice.
00:50:38That agility, that speed.
00:50:40Something about Yuka, man.
00:50:41It's like when her music starts, a smile automatically goes in her face.
00:50:44Yeah, and just a whirlwind, a whirling dervish in the ring.
00:50:51Off the ropes.
00:50:52Wow, arm drag, Jani Kai.
00:50:55Ooh, and a snap by Yuka.
00:50:58Big drop kick there.
00:51:03And, of course, if you're joining late to tonight's broadcast,
00:51:07three rope breaks.
00:51:09Ooh, once you exhaust them, you can pin your opponent,
00:51:12submit your opponent in, on, between the ropes.
00:51:1520 count on the outside.
00:51:18Uh-oh.
00:51:19Wow!
00:51:23Springboard press to the outside.
00:51:28And Yuka Sakazaki,
00:51:30a magic girl indeed.
00:51:33And it is Yuka rolling through.
00:51:41One.
00:51:42A sunset roll there.
00:51:45And Yuka Sakazaki, who is more of a high flyer,
00:51:48I'm curious to see how her offense translates into this pure rules, Caprice.
00:51:52This is exactly what she's doing, but we're seeing a different side.
00:51:55Nakai out of the way.
00:51:56Nice kick to the face.
00:51:57My goodness.
00:51:58And it is, oh, going to the shoulder, Jani Kai.
00:52:10Now into the corner.
00:52:11Ooh.
00:52:13Yeah, these, every strike is lethal, man.
00:52:18Oh!
00:52:20Into the spine, the leg hooked.
00:52:22To the magic girl in trouble.
00:52:24People don't realize how dangerous Jani Kai is, man.
00:52:32Jani Kai is registered.
00:52:35Her hands and feet are registered as a weapon.
00:52:40I'll go into the ropes.
00:52:41Our first rope break.
00:52:42That is rope break number one, used by Yuka Sakazaki.
00:52:46And certainly,
00:52:47you know, that is a known quantity for Kai, for Yuka,
00:52:52as Kai charging in.
00:52:53Oh, my goodness.
00:52:56Accuracy.
00:52:57Wow.
00:52:58Accuracy.
00:52:58Yes, sir.
00:52:59Pinpoint accuracy.
00:53:00Leg hooked.
00:53:02Two.
00:53:03Two count there.
00:53:06But Yuka has that heart, that resolve.
00:53:08Former Tokyo Joshi Pro, princess of princess champion.
00:53:13Former princess tag team champion in Tokyo Joshi Pro.
00:53:16The heart, the resilience.
00:53:18It's Yuka fighting now.
00:53:19In the ropes.
00:53:20That is.
00:53:20Wait a minute.
00:53:25And Yuka.
00:53:27That is rope break number one, used by Jani Kai.
00:53:30Oh.
00:53:31That's unique.
00:53:32And Jani Kai.
00:53:34Yeah.
00:53:35Wow.
00:53:37Off the ropes.
00:53:39Yuka.
00:53:41Beautiful flying head scissor there.
00:53:43That Hurricanrana, big drop kick.
00:53:46And the match swinging into the column of the magic girl.
00:53:51You could say that again.
00:53:54Yeah.
00:53:54Yeah.
00:53:56As Yuka, hammer lock.
00:53:59Uh-oh.
00:54:00She was going for that hammer lock, northern light suplex.
00:54:02It was blocked by Jani.
00:54:05These kicks here.
00:54:06Hamstring, hamstring, hamstring.
00:54:10And the leg hooked, two.
00:54:12No.
00:54:13Oh.
00:54:14These kick outs are not strong by Yuka.
00:54:17And these kicks to the adductors, man.
00:54:19Oh, off the ropes.
00:54:23And Jani misses.
00:54:26Oh.
00:54:27Oh.
00:54:27Oh.
00:54:28Oh.
00:54:28Oh.
00:54:29Oh.
00:54:29Oh.
00:54:31Oh.
00:54:32And I hit the back of her head there.
00:54:34Let's go, Yuka.
00:54:36And it is Yuka with the wrist lock.
00:54:38Oh, Yuka.
00:54:39Caprice, here it comes.
00:54:40Hammer lock.
00:54:41Oh, Yuka.
00:54:42Into the, whoa, slam there.
00:54:48It's gonna be enough.
00:54:49One, one, two, three.
00:54:55The winner of this match, Yuka Sakazaki.
00:55:00Well, Yuka Sakazaki, a pure rules victory as she hits into the quarterfinals.
00:55:08The first round to take on the professor, Serena Deeb, wow.
00:55:16Hey, is this camera on me?
00:55:18No.
00:55:19STP got a message for anybody in the locker room.
00:55:22Yeah, yeah, yeah, what you looking at is the best thing going in Ring of Honor.
00:55:25The Ring of Honor world, six man tag team champions.
00:55:29The big bad wolves of this whole thing.
00:55:31Except we don't walk in houses and huff and puff and blow them down.
00:55:34Nah, we kick the door now, put two in the head of anybody in the house.
00:55:37Rep the set, or expect big disrespect.
00:55:40Anybody, anytime, any place, runner high, STP's outside, rumble, bad man, rumble.
00:55:49I'm not leaving this ring until action wrestling brings me
00:55:56somebody to throw hands with the best.
00:56:00Some big words from STP.
00:56:02It was Shane Taylor, the former world television champion, making the challenge at Action Dean last week.
00:56:07AR Fox answered the challenge, but Shane Taylor was just too strong, driving the body of AR Fox across the 2300.
00:56:17Fox tried to use his agility, the spring and his step, but ultimately the power, the punch.
00:56:23Shane Taylor with the knockout victory.
00:56:26Standing tall at Action Dean.
00:56:32But from there, Caprice, it was AR Fox who needed someone to stand with him and he found former Ring of Honor world tag team champions.
00:56:42This six man tag team match is set for one fall and it is for the Ring of Honor world six man tag team championship.
00:56:51Introducing first the challengers at a combined weight of 612 pounds.
00:56:55First, best guy of Boston, Massachusetts.
00:56:58Mike Bennett, Matt Taven, Matt Taven, the kingdom.
00:57:03Three times over, former Ring of Honor world tag team champions, Matt Taven.
00:57:08Part of the inaugural Ring of Honor world six man champs in 2016.
00:57:12Their partner, Russell Allen and Sonya, Connecticut, AR Fox.
00:57:20And they are partnering with the man that they have found a fast friendship with Caprice, AR Fox.
00:57:28Doesn't get no better than that man.
00:57:30AR Fox been around for a long time and to respect that Taven had been in half of AR Fox goes back many years with the body.
00:57:38Certainly does.
00:57:40I'm McTaven.
00:57:43I'm Mike Bennett.
00:57:47He is Mike Bennett.
00:57:48I'm Caprice Coleman.
00:57:50And that was AR Fox.
00:57:53You better have some rhythm, Bennett.
00:57:56Taven, Bennett, of course, long time best friends.
00:58:01But they're facing a family with the six man titles on the line.
00:58:06Their opponents, being accompanied by Trish Adora and Anthony Odogo, at a combined weight of 711 pounds.
00:58:16They are the ring of honor world six man tag team champions.
00:58:22Ali Bravo, Sean Dean, the infantry, and Shane Tiller, Shane Tiller from Motions.
00:58:35Well, Caprice, let's not forget the underlying tension between Mike Bennett and Matt Taven and the infantry.
00:58:45I mean, the infantry were the first team in the honor club era to go the distance in the proving ground.
00:58:51This is right.
00:58:52To earn a shot, they did so against the kingdom.
00:58:54They nearly dethroned the kingdom for the ROH world tag team titles.
00:58:57This is another thing, man.
00:58:58The infantry has continued to get better in another deep seat.
00:59:02It's Shane Tiller has faced Matt Taven with different versions of six man tag team titles multiple times.
00:59:10Oh, wait a minute.
00:59:12It is STP kicking things off hot in our main event.
00:59:17And it was Captain Sean Dean taking care of Taven there, Carly Bravo with Mike Bennett.
00:59:24And it is our main event this week with the world six man title.
00:59:32Settles on the line.
00:59:35And now in the corner, look at this, taking advantage.
00:59:39Full advantage of that five count Caprice.
00:59:42Looks like a wolf pack, man.
00:59:45And the quick tags.
00:59:47Tell you what, that victory that STP had at death before the sign a couple of weeks ago against Sammy Guevara and Yvonne Eriks.
00:59:55Oh, Carly crossover in the corner.
00:59:59And Dean is on his way.
01:00:02What did, what did Shane Taylor just call that?
01:00:08Can I say that?
01:00:09Leg hooked, cover, two.
01:00:12And it is Dean now with the chin lock staying on top of Bennett and those biceps.
01:00:20Dean's in the best shape I've ever seen him in.
01:00:22Absolutely, man.
01:00:23And Dean's to get better as well.
01:00:25You know, when you become champions, there's two things you can do.
01:00:27You can level out or you can continue to get better.
01:00:30And as soon as the infantry became champions, they went straight to the gym.
01:00:34Ah, Caprice.
01:00:35There was, I was at that media call.
01:00:38Well, yeah, well, yeah.
01:00:39Okay.
01:00:40I think they did something before the tag made.
01:00:42A lot of smells, I have to tell you.
01:00:44Well, you know, they say Vika can rip you up too, man.
01:00:47Makes you look ripped.
01:00:48That's what a lot of bodybuilders do.
01:00:50Awesome.
01:00:51Shot to the midsection, as Matt Taven can only watch as his best friend, his three-time
01:00:57tag team championship partner, Mike Bennett, in trouble here.
01:01:00Oh!
01:01:01Oh!
01:01:02That echo!
01:01:03Is this camera on me?
01:01:05That's a man!
01:01:06That's a man right there!
01:01:10Is Carly cold?
01:01:12Shut up, Taven!
01:01:13Shut up, Taven!
01:01:14Shut up, Taven!
01:01:15As Taylor, but it's just toying with Bennett here.
01:01:18Hey!
01:01:19He knows not to toy with Bennett, mate.
01:01:22I'm gonna expect Maria's ass next, homeboy.
01:01:25Whoa!
01:01:26Whoa, wait a minute!
01:01:27That personal fast.
01:01:29Whoa, and Mike Bennett, the adrenaline pumping!
01:01:34We wish her the best!
01:01:36He's trying to take Matt Bennett out of his game plan.
01:01:39Make him fight and not wrestle.
01:01:41Especially after, just, wow!
01:01:45Publicly disclosing her battle with skin cancer.
01:01:48That's a low blow from Taylor.
01:01:51Big clothesline!
01:01:54And that low blow is enough to fire up Bennett.
01:01:57Who needs to make a tag here?
01:01:59And it is Taven and Carly Bravo.
01:02:03Big clothesline there.
01:02:07Whatever.
01:02:09Bennett is feeling, Taven's taking up for him too, man.
01:02:12You can't disrespect like that.
01:02:14That kicks out of nowhere.
01:02:16You never see it coming.
01:02:17You just feel it when it happens.
01:02:19Whoa!
01:02:21Almost into the lighting rig goes Captain Sean Dean.
01:02:25I mean, for Taven and Bennett, they were at each other's weddings.
01:02:28They were part of their wedding parties.
01:02:30Front face lock rolling through.
01:02:32Big neck breaker.
01:02:33Cover.
01:02:34One.
01:02:35Two.
01:02:36Not just a friendship in the ring.
01:02:37Long time friendship in independent wrestling.
01:02:41No one home on the move, Salt.
01:02:43Third amount of time.
01:02:45Taven needs to take out, man.
01:02:47Bravo Cena is trying to prevent that tag from happening.
01:02:50Ooh!
01:02:51And AR Fox is in.
01:02:53With the six-man titles on the line.
01:02:56Fox flipping through.
01:02:57Rolling through.
01:02:58Whoa!
01:02:59Cannonball on Taylor!
01:03:00Cannonball!
01:03:01And Fox.
01:03:03Kick to the midsection by the captain.
01:03:05Front face lock here.
01:03:06Whoa!
01:03:07Countered up!
01:03:08Twisting anarchist suplex there.
01:03:10Wow!
01:03:11Fox up the ladder.
01:03:12Swipe it.
01:03:13No swiping.
01:03:14We got a Fox on the run.
01:03:19Wait.
01:03:20Whoa!
01:03:21Two for one.
01:03:22Into the cutter.
01:03:23Fox not finished.
01:03:29And we might answer the age-old question, what does the Fox say?
01:03:33Here in Philadelphia.
01:03:34As Taven flying to the Conqueror.
01:03:38And Fox gets some revenge on Taylor.
01:03:43Mike Bennett.
01:03:44Last man standing in the ring.
01:03:46Maybe new six-man tag team champions, man.
01:03:49Oh, Spicoli driver.
01:03:51Just the tip of the knee.
01:03:54And Fox with a swan dive.
01:03:56New six-man champs cover.
01:03:58No!
01:03:59No!
01:04:00Bravo was by himself.
01:04:02He kicked out of that.
01:04:04My goodness, you cannot buy chemistry.
01:04:07AR, Fox, and the kingdom definitely have it here.
01:04:10And the stamina, the resolve of Bravo is Taven finds Taylor on the outside.
01:04:16Grand Slam champion Matt Taven over there.
01:04:18Oh!
01:04:19Bennett pulled down from the apron.
01:04:21They're trying to invest.
01:04:22Fox!
01:04:23To keep Bravo by itself in the infantry.
01:04:26Shane Taylor sees that.
01:04:28Bravo, flash of light here.
01:04:30Man, look at Fox rolling through.
01:04:33It's Bravo looking to get to the ropes.
01:04:34He's got the ropes.
01:04:35Taven sees it.
01:04:36Yeah.
01:04:37Bravo's got the ropes.
01:04:38Taven sees it.
01:04:39Fox with a reversal.
01:04:40Two.
01:04:41Just a two count there.
01:04:42Taven saw that too.
01:04:43And both men, uh-oh.
01:04:46And they're looking for Rockstar Supernova.
01:04:49And they got it!
01:04:50They got it!
01:04:52As Fox goes back to the top.
01:04:54450!
01:04:55That's five, six-man champions!
01:04:57Two!
01:04:58Whoa!
01:04:59Tell you what, man, Bravo was by itself the first time he was in trouble.
01:05:04At that time, if he did not get help, that would have been over with.
01:05:07They're keeping Shane Taylor on the outside of the ring, and Bravo on the inside.
01:05:11Shane Taylor trying to get back inside, though.
01:05:13But Captain Sean Dean making the save.
01:05:16Kick of the king.
01:05:17No one home.
01:05:18And it is, uh-oh.
01:05:20Captain Sean Dean plants Taven.
01:05:23Whoa!
01:05:24Fox with a big kick.
01:05:26Oh, Bravo!
01:05:27Bravo with the roll-up!
01:05:28One, two!
01:05:29No!
01:05:30Oh, Captain Sean Dean, Air Fox going at it here.
01:05:34That's it!
01:05:36And, wow!
01:05:38Move on!
01:05:39No!
01:05:40Caprice!
01:05:41Team over!
01:05:42That's what are you doing?
01:05:44My God!
01:05:47Toots it in!
01:05:48That's it, leg hook two!
