00:00Welcome, everyone, to a special edition of Bring-Up Honor on YouTube.
00:21This tag team match is set for one fall in a 20 minute time limit.
00:27Tag team number one, Alec Price and Jordan Oliver.
00:34We're gonna kick things off with an exciting tag team bout bust to Alec Price the Brain.
00:39Jordan Oliver, both fans, just two days from now, on Honor Club.
00:43A huge tag team main event with the Ring of Honor World Champion Bandido.
00:47Gaming with the franchise Jay Lethal to take on the Swirl.
00:53Tag team title scene is heating up.
00:55Alec Cabani starting up with Bustin' the Brain.
00:59A very talented young team on the rise.
01:02We got a glimpse of Price and Oliver taking on the Swirl at Boxing Day Brawl.
01:11Jumping right in to the deep end of competition here in ROH.
01:16Take on two former pure champions tonight.
01:19Deep in, it's the ocean.
01:223-0 in Ring of Honor.
01:27Tonight looking to extend that streak.
01:31And a combined weight of 386 pounds.
01:36They are representing the Death Riders, Daniel Garcia and Wheeler Uda.
01:49The two men who know each other so well as enemies now aligned on the same track.
01:56It's the looks of it in the Death Riders.
02:00Oh, they're not alone here tonight, Caprice.
02:02Hitting hard, man.
02:04Starting off hitting hard.
02:07The winner of the Continental Classic, Jon Moxley is here.
02:12Champ is here.
02:14Yeah.
02:15Vested interest in the development of these two young athletes.
02:20I wouldn't say young stars, but they talked about their Ring of Honor credentials.
02:26Certainly on the rise across the entire professional wrestling landscape.
02:30Tell you what, man, they're already great and didn't have the tools they have behind them that can only get better.
02:37As Uda, this dangerous edge that we've seen emerge.
02:45And the fans rally behind Alec Price already.
02:48Tag made.
02:50That's right.
02:51Price and Oliver, man, they have a popular name, but Uda and Garcia are very familiar with these guys.
02:57Uh-oh.
02:58Look at this.
02:59Might be a one-up to shoot.
03:01Alec Price!
03:02Alec Price!
03:04Alec Price!
03:05You know, all four of these young men cut their teeth in the independent scene roughly around the same time.
03:11Oh, Price!
03:12All it takes is an opportunity.
03:14Beautiful.
03:15All right, come out of there from Price.
03:18And Price, right now, man, let go of the last second, man, causing your head to hit the mat.
03:22Hit the reversal there, Rick Albani, get me, man.
03:24Tag made, Irish whip, and here comes Jordan Oliver.
03:28Oh, running rocker dropper there.
03:30Oh, drop kick downstairs as Mox looking on, busting the brain with the advantage here.
03:37Yeah, even Mox was saying, this is some fast movement here by Oliver.
03:41Ooh!
03:42Goodness!
03:43Triangle clothesline, of course, Mox won the Continental Classic at AEW's last huge event, World's End.
03:50Our next event, AEW Revolution!
03:53My goodness!
03:55That's gonna be in LA, the City of Angels, but flying like an angel there, Alec Price.
04:01Did he high-five an angel going over?
04:03I saw Price's hand up, I didn't understand what-
04:06Well, that's March the 15th, which will be here before you know it.
04:11But the future might be now or sin.
04:13Busting the brain, take advantage of the Death Riders.
04:18Whoa!
04:19Wait a minute!
04:20Trying to put the Death Riders away, Price is up!
04:21Whoa!
04:22That's a big fall, Riccoboni.
04:24That might be the in for Price and Oliver's by itself.
04:28Ooh, and that knee for Oliver may have been tweaked on the way down also.
04:36Just the stalking predator nature of the Death Riders.
04:40If it wasn't tweaked, Garcia adding to it on the way down as well, staying and isolating Oliver.
04:47And look at Yuna taking advantage as Aubrey Edwards back his turn.
04:51How about that Mixed Nuts match back on Saturday at World's End, Caprice.
04:56We saw the Death Riders tag made.
04:58Marina and former ROH World Champion Roderick Strong going at it.
05:03I like the sequential dance moves of, uh, Orange Cassidy.
05:09Well, that's right!
05:10Can you dance like that, Riccoboni?
05:14Oh, I cannot like that.
05:16Orange is the best dancer around.
05:18Look at this.
05:19Wrapped up in the corner is Oliver, man.
05:21This is intentional.
05:22Wow, the bridging deadlock here.
05:24Oh, look at that.
05:26Garcia.
05:27This is tag made.
05:29It's been months now, Caprice.
05:30It was back in Philadelphia when Garcia firmly aligned himself with the Death Riders.
05:35But this still, to me, I'm still shocked at how quickly Mox has aligned these two young men.
05:40It's weird to see, man, because these guys literally hated each other.
05:43They know each other for so long, they hated each other.
05:45But I almost feel like that hatred made a better team.
05:48But because they know each other's good and bad moments, man, it makes you more cohesive as a team.
05:54Oh!
05:55Oh!
05:56And a big suplex as Oliver delivers Garcia to the mat.
06:01Needs to make a tag to Price.
06:04The outstretched arm of Alec Reisel and Yuna.
06:09And driving Price into the...
06:13Price has fell hard.
06:14He hits the steel stairs on the way down.
06:16And so much happened to Price, man.
06:18Oliver's been inside for so long.
06:20And Garcia and Yuna on the same page, like you said, Caprice.
06:25They know each other so well.
06:26The historic pure title belts, all of which can be rewatched as an honor club member.
06:31In addition to the weekly action you see each and every week on WatchROH.com.
06:36Oh!
06:37I promise you, if this is the same page, it's a horror book with Gabani.
06:40This is over.
06:41Look at that beautiful Boston Crab from Garcia Oliver with nowhere to go.
06:50Whoa!
06:51Hold on a second.
06:52Oh!
06:53Look at Oliver.
06:54Oliver pushing off.
06:55I thought it was finished with Gabani.
06:57Oh!
06:58And Oliver gets to the ropes!
06:59Come on, baby!
07:00Jordan Oliver gets to the ropes!
07:03Every time we see Oliver and Price, man, we see something more special out of this young duo.
07:09They're fighting the top of the chain, man.
07:11Come on!
07:12And the tag made.
07:14We saw Mox giving some advice to the Death Riders.
07:17Almost a bemused smile with the effort from Oliver.
07:20Waistlock here.
07:21Look at the trip, up and over.
07:22Leaprock, tag made!
07:23Nice tag!
07:24And-
07:28The champion knows wrestling.
07:29Also, he loves it when the Death Riders have a challenge.
07:32They don't want to be in blow over matches.
07:34They want matches where they get in challenges.
07:36Well, that's certainly what Price is here for tonight.
07:40Price, fighting for the match.
07:41Maybe fighting for his life.
07:42Two on one here.
07:43He's gotta be a bad man to block the points with a hit.
07:48But we could find him.
07:49Mox is loving all of it.
07:50Mox certainly came here to see his guys fight.
07:53Look at that.
07:54Beautiful moonsault.
07:55Alec Price caught.
07:57Oh!
07:58Wow!
07:59This is the pack style attack of the Death Riders.
08:06Arby's in control, Rick Abani.
08:08One of them's got to go, but they've got some time before it happens.
08:12Uh-oh.
08:13Price has been in trouble since he started Rick Abani.
08:15That Busey Kuni.
08:17And then Garcia driving Price down.
08:21The cover.
08:22Two.
08:23That's it.
08:24The winners of this match, Wheeler Yuda and Daniel Garcia.
08:34Well, the Continental Classic champion Jon Moxley encouraged by the victory.
08:40Now 4-0 in Ring of Honor Tag Team competition.
08:43The Death Riders your winner.
08:46And speaking of winners, Mark Davis of the Don Callis family has turned it up.
08:52Whether it's here in the United States or in Australia.
08:55Back in February.
08:56Earning a huge victory at Global Wars.
08:58Two weeks ago in the UK.
08:59Going one-on-one against Dark Order's Evil Uno.
09:04The Lariat.
09:05The difference.
09:06The cover.
09:07And it is Mark Davis who also finds himself undefeated in Ring of Honor competition.
09:13In 2025.
09:14Looking to close out the calendar.
09:19I hope Don can.
09:20Look at that ominous face.
09:22This match is set for one fall.
09:25The 20-minute time limit.
09:27Approaching the ring.
09:28Wrestling out of Brisbane, Australia.
09:30Weighing 242 pounds.
09:32He's representing the Don Callis family.
09:36Mark Davis.
09:38The talented Mark Davis.
09:42Looking to extend that winning streak.
09:45His opponent, Matt Mako.
09:48But Caprice, he's facing a fighter.
09:51A man that can really take it to you in Matt Mako.
09:55Hey, man.
09:56If you want to call anybody to fight, you better call Mako.
09:59Well, Mako, of course, former Bellator star.
10:03And the code of honor adhered to.
10:07The belt is off.
10:08Caprice, did you get what you were hoping for for Christmas?
10:11I did get what I'm hoping for.
10:13And I'm looking at Mark Davis, man.
10:15He looks real action figure-ish, man.
10:17I'm thinking about the Don Callis family.
10:19How many members in that family?
10:20And Jazz Wears.
10:21That's right.
10:22It's Don Callis and his whole family as action figures.
10:25I mean, the Jazz Wears vault right now.
10:27Still limited quantities available.
10:28The Briscoes, Orange Cassidy, Tony Storm.
10:30But imagine a box set of the Don Callis set.
10:33They need a whole semi-truck to just bring the one set.
10:37Ooh, no one home.
10:39Wow.
10:40It'd be a family series package or something.
10:43That's right.
10:44As Mako going for the hamstring, sweeping the leg.
10:48And who knows?
10:49That was a risk too fast, man, for Mako.
10:52Even for Mark Davis, Mako out of the way.
10:54Sense of danger.
10:55And now, Mark off his feet and trying to capitalize
10:58why he was off his feet.
10:59But Mark back on his feet is a dangerous man.
11:03For that Everlock instead, it is.
11:05But now he gets it.
11:07And the mount not going for the cover.
11:09And this is an interesting strategy against a man
11:12who's known for getting in and out of those mounts, Caprice.
11:15Well, I'll tell you what, man.
11:16Someone like Mako, when you get him down,
11:18you have to capitalize.
11:19Same thing like Mark's trying to capitalize on him.
11:21Whoa!
11:22These guys would have the same game plan,
11:24except for Mako would try to keep Mark
11:27from getting back on his feet at all.
11:29But Mako is someone you want to keep down
11:32and stay away from
11:33because he's dangerous in all situations.
11:35He can submit you from the bottom.
11:36He can submit you from the top.
11:37He has dangerous strikes.
11:38And he has a really strong chin.
11:41Well, Mako trying to fight back to his feet
11:43against one half of the former...
11:45Oh!
11:46Tag Team Champions Mark Davis
11:47who connects with a German suplex there.
11:50But it should be tested with that Lariat, man,
11:53if Davis ever gets it.
11:55Wow!
11:56The shotgun!
11:57Sending Mako into the corner!
11:59Hey!
12:00Hey!
12:01Hey!
12:02And just stalking Mako here.
12:03He slowed Mako down.
12:05Driving the air out of the...
12:07Oh, no!
12:08Send more air out of the esophagus of Mako.
12:11Tell you what, man, that release on that suplex
12:14throwing a grown man halfway across the ring.
12:16Two!
12:17Ooh!
12:18It's a lot of power, man.
12:20And it is the mountainous Mark Davis
12:26who is firmly in control here.
12:28But does Don Callis have control over his own family?
12:31That's the question in my mind coming out of World's End
12:33as Mako with the shots to the bread basket here.
12:36Well, when you've got a family that big, Rick and Barron,
12:38you're gonna have problems.
12:39Oh!
12:40Oh!
12:41My goodness!
12:42Mako's got a problem after that right to the jaw
12:44as Davis off the rope.
12:46Nice setup!
12:47Whoa!
12:48Lariat caught!
12:49Lariat caught!
12:50Wow!
12:51Wait a minute!
12:52Into a crossar bar!
12:53Mako was looking for the length for the pin
12:55instead of Davis with the stack.
12:56Two!
12:57No!
12:58Smart movement by Davis, man.
13:00Only way to get out of that was
13:01trying to get that cover for that pin.
13:03Nice combination here by Mako.
13:05Mark was trying to set up that Lariat.
13:07Mako trying to set up a butterfly suplex here.
13:09Not strong enough.
13:10Up and over Mako now.
13:12Looking for the waist lock instead.
13:13Spinning kick catches Davis!
13:15Davis is rocked!
13:16Now Davis is down again.
13:18Mako has to keep Davis down.
13:20Don't let him back to your feet.
13:21Stay on that arm that you've been working on.
13:23Yeah, great strategy here.
13:24Aiming.
13:25Target.
13:26The bullseye on the left arm.
13:27The elbow.
13:28The shoulder.
13:29The kick into the corner.
13:30It's Mako charging and caught.
13:31Oh!
13:34Right to that corner.
13:35Bicious.
13:36Yeah!
13:37That was strained onto the chin.
13:40That's almost a knockout blow, man.
13:42I wanna see Mako move before I say anything else, man.
13:45Mako may be out.
13:47That drive-by punch into the basement.
13:50Oh!
13:51Caught!
13:52Play possum!
13:53It's Mako!
13:54Mako with the arm!
13:55That arm's extended!
13:56Davis once again looking for the stack.
13:57This time, behind Mako, the sleeper locked in!
14:01Those massive arms of Davis!
14:03Tell you what, Mako isn't gonna fight as long as he has breath in him, man.
14:07Twice, I thought this guy was knocked out.
14:09He said he was playing possum.
14:10He might have been.
14:11But Mako was fighting with everything he has, man.
14:14Hit from the back!
14:15Back!
14:16Oh!
14:17Davis trying to set up that lariat one more time off the ropes!
14:20Yeah!
14:21This time!
14:22Davis spits Mako inside out!
14:25Ugh!
14:26To Mark Davis!
14:28Undefeated in 2025!
14:30The winner of this match!
14:31Mark!
14:32Davis!
14:33The winning streak for Davis here in ROH continues this time, bringing the victories to New York City.
14:44Davis ends the year undefeated in ROH.
14:48We, together, as MIT, are gonna continue to mold Ring of Honor into a better future.
15:03But, Billy, where is my pure title?
15:10You will have a tag match to redeem yourself against Deanna Purrazzo and whatever porcelain hussy she finds in the back.
15:19Whoa!
15:20Whoa!
15:21Wait a minute!
15:22Madison Reign!
15:23Who is Madison Reign?
15:25She's a five-time women's world champion.
15:29Instrumental in launching women's wrestling in Ring of Honor.
15:33There would be no Athena if there was no Madison Reign.
15:36Billy Starks looking for revenge in a matchup of the present versus the future.
15:41The pure champion once again scoring a victory.
15:49This is not gonna happen again!
15:51Do you understand?
15:53Well, Billy Starks with their marching orders from the minion overlord Athena.
15:57Starks will team with Diamante this Thursday to take on the women's pure champion Deanna Purrazzo and Madison Reign.
16:02What a tag team bout that's gonna be.
16:04And here is a huge one on the men's side.
16:10Pun intended.
16:11Wait till you see this guy.
16:12Literally.
16:13This tag team match is set for one ball with a 20-minute time limit.
16:16Team number one on a combined weight of 503 pounds.
16:21The bounty hunter Brian Keith and Big Bill.
16:29Well, it was right here in the greatest city in the world, New York City where I first met Big Bill.
16:34Classmates about 30 blocks down Broadway at NYU in Washington Square.
16:40Standout basketball star.
16:42And Big Bill has excelled in tag team action.
16:47Caprice Wright Keith and Big Bill looking at the landscape thinking now's the time to strike.
16:51Look at that LFI.
16:52Join the Dark Order.
16:53They have their hands full here tonight.
16:54Their opponents had a combined weight of 402 pounds.
17:07They're representing Dark Order, John Silver and Alex Reynolds.
17:17Well, Caprice, 2025 has seen more original content and matches on Honor Club than we've ever had before.
17:29The men that helped lay the foundation for that are Alex Reynolds on the left, John Silver on the right,
17:34who have been here on Honor Club since Tony Khan from our weekly television.
17:40Back to watch ROH.com.
17:43Instrumental on Ring of Honor.
17:44When you think of Honor Club, you have to think Dark Order.
17:48When I think about Dark Order, this is probably my favorite combination to tag Reynolds and Silver.
17:55Just because of their cohesion and the way that they think, man.
17:57It's almost like these guys know what each other's thinking without talking.
18:01Probably one of the best tags in wrestling.
18:03Well, Code of Honor.
18:04That was good enough for Aubrey Edwards.
18:05I think that's the best we'll get out of the Bounty Hunter, Brian Keith.
18:06Brian Keith, man.
18:07We've been seeing him on Zero Hour.
18:08Yeah.
18:09And then coming in on the pay-per-view, making a big name for itself.
18:10So every time I see Brian Keith in the House of Honor, I know we're going to see a good match.
18:13And there's so many tag teams coming to Ring of Honor because of the tag team division.
18:17That was just two years ago at Final Battle of the Fans.
18:18If you want to relive the great moments of any Ring of Honor event, join us over at WatchROH.com.
18:24That membership includes the entire historic library and weekly Ring of Honor television.
18:27And we've been seeing him on Zero Hour.
18:28And we've been seeing him on Zero Hour.
18:29Yeah.
18:30And then coming in on the pay-per-view, making a big name for himself.
18:31So every time I see Brian Keith in the House of Honor, I know we're going to see a good match.
18:34And there's so many tag teams coming to Ring of Honor because of the tag team division.

18:43The championship includes the entire historic library and weekly Ring of Honor television.
18:48Oh, and John Silver wanted a tag.
18:50He said he was the big man.
18:52He wanted the big man between Keith and Big Bill.
18:55He wanted Big Bill, but Keith not going to give it to him.
18:58Are you disappointed?
18:59A little bit.
19:00Oh, big shot kick.
19:02I love Brian Keith, but I'm curious to see if Johnny Hungy could have tossed Big Bill around.
19:07Well, I think we'll have plenty of time to figure that out.
19:10Right here with the shoot-off a little too close to the corner.
19:12Oh, nice double drop toehold rolling through Dark Order.
19:15Double drop kick downstairs.
19:18And cover.
19:19Two.
19:23Of course, the Dark Order's got some great merchandise over at ShopHonor.com
19:27if you're looking to spend some of that holiday cash.
19:30ShopHonor or ShopAew.com as the arm hooked.
19:33Look at this.
19:34Great agility from Reynolds.
19:37He thought he caught him on top.
19:40Entering to the fans.
19:41That split second cut him off.
19:43But Reynolds staying on top of the game, man.
19:45Ahead of it.
19:46Right back up to his feet.
19:50Catches Keith.
19:51It is now Reynolds.
19:52Dark Order firmly in control of this bout.
19:55Reynolds is such a special athlete, man.
19:57He's one of the most technically sound individuals on the roster.
20:00Does everything well, man.
20:02Picks his points and picks them well.
20:04Oh, just enough of a distraction from Big Bill to let Brian Keefe deliver the flying headbutt.
20:11I'll tell you what.
20:12Wherever Big Bill is, he's a distraction.
20:14It doesn't matter if he's on the inside or outside.
20:17Yep.
20:18He's the kind of guy you walk through the airport, you turn your head, you know he's somebody.
20:23That's the kind of presence Big Bill has.
20:25He has a dangerous presence, man.
20:27You can't just walk by without looking at him.
20:29Even if he's not in the ring, you have to look over at him, and that distraction calls Reynolds right now.
20:34This monstrous individual towering over Alex Reynolds.
20:42Reynolds stands about six feet two.
20:44Oh, goodness.
20:45Yeah, Reynolds is a big guy, man.
20:47Shows how big this monster is right here.
20:51Look at that.
20:52Just stepping over the top rope.
20:54And, oh, no one home.
20:58And that's the kind of action Reynolds is going to try to need to engage.
21:01Yeah, wait a second.
21:03Big Bill just eat a boot and come right back inside.
21:06Yeah, he sure did.
21:07And Bill sending Reynolds ten feet in the air.
21:13The high back body drops that are from regular athletes, Rick Abani.
21:17But from Big Bill, that's a high, high body drop.
21:20And Uppercut wipes Silver out.
21:25That was a high rise back body drop, tag made.
21:29Hey, come on.
21:30Hey, off your bill.
21:31And from Skyscraper.
21:33Yeah.
21:34You have a great game plan here, man.
21:37Cutting the ring off of Reynolds inside of it, man.
21:39You don't even see Hungry on the outside right now.
21:42And if you don't see a tag team partner on the outside, man, that hurts, man.
21:45You look over, you know you need help, and you don't see your tag team partner.
21:48You know you gotta fend for yourself, and you're not doing a good job at it.
21:51Now we see Hungry up.
21:53Well, it's Reynolds who's trying to fight back, who has silver and eyesight, but not anymore.
21:59Wiped out.
22:00Inside leg hook.
22:01Two!
22:04And Caprice, we take a look at this great historic venue, the Hammerstein Ballroom.
22:09Unmistakable.
22:10You've wrestled in some huge matches here.
22:12Is there any pressure for any of these four athletes knowing that the Briscos, the Young Bucks,
22:15really put ROH on the map in this building?
22:17It is definitely pressure to make a name for yourself and to make a big statement here.
22:21The bigger pressure is to get a win in the Hammerstein.
22:24That's what everybody wants, not just to wrestle there, but to get a win in the Hammerstein.
22:28I think that's what everybody in the ring wants right here.
22:30Brian Keefe, unfriendly fire right here.
22:32And Silver with a big tag.
22:38And Silver, who represents one of the three men from New York who grew up coming to this very building.
22:46watching ROH, being fans of ROH.
22:50It is Silver now with the only non-native New Yorker unloading on Keith.
22:56Wait a minute, Keith, looking for the back slide here.
23:01Whoa.
23:02Mm, mm, mm.
23:04Wow.
23:05Series of kicks from Facelock now.
23:07Beautiful snap, brain buster there.
23:10Like, two.
23:12Trying to do as much to Keith as they can, man.
23:16Big Bill fell on the outside when he hit that guardrail on the outside with his lower spine.
23:21I thought that would take him out for a while.
23:23He's hurt, but he's back up on the apron, man, for Brian Keith.
23:26Hungry may be hurt as well, and this is what we've been waiting for, Riccoboni.
23:30Look at the size difference, the dichotomy.
23:35It's weird, their arms are the same size, though.
23:38I'm just gonna say that, the shoulders, the straps, the fights.
23:41Double, chokeslam for chokeslam, it's Silver.
23:44It's Silver.
23:45Getting out of, wait a minute.
23:46What?
23:47What?
23:48He wanted to rack Big Bill.
23:50I think he can do it.
23:52Who's gonna stop him?
23:54Look at, it's Hi Ho Silver.
23:57Yeah.
23:59Here we go.
24:00John Silver.
24:02Touch your rack.
24:05You can only keep Big Bill up so long, Keith.
24:08With the move, Big Bill drives Silver down.
24:11The cover, two, three.
24:17The winners of this match, Brian Keith and Big Bill.
24:23Fantastic tag team bout where both teams had the advantage at various points.
24:28Caprice, but it's Big Bill and Brian Keith victorious.
24:31But sometimes when you focus it on one move, you want to accomplish that torture rack.
24:35And while, eight time, that's how you do it, baby.
24:38Didn't accomplish it and distracted.
24:40Hungry just enough to get those boots from both teammates.
24:44And, uh, walking out with the victory, Brian Keith and Big Bill.
24:47Can't wait to see them again here on ROH.
24:50Blake Christian is virtually undefeated in 2025.
24:57The defeated Jay Lethal had taken it using that lethal injection.
25:01Wait a minute, Blake Christian!
25:02It's the lethal injection!
25:04Are you gonna keep letting people down?
25:06You're gonna do something about it.
25:08Bandido, I've been chasing you for six months.
25:12And you have found a way to dodge me every single time.
25:17Last year at Survival of the Fittest, Vanilla Baby was born.
25:21This year becomes a big celebration when I become Ring of Honor World Champion.
25:27Wait a second, two, one!
25:28Got it!
25:29Got it! Christian's eliminated!
25:30Let's be honest, Bandido.
25:31It always should have been me and you.
25:34Blake Christian tried to take him in.
25:36Oh, come on! Come on!
25:37Bandido and I have a lot in common.
25:39How about you and I team next week so that we can finally be rid of the Swirl?
25:44Former Ring of Honor World Champion.
25:46Current Ring of Honor World Champion.
25:48Of course!
25:49Yeah!
25:50Bandido, the next time you and I are in the ring together,
25:52I think I'll take that other arm.
25:59Well, this Thursday, just two nights away it will be!
26:02Blake Christian teaming with Lee Johnson the Swirl
26:04as they battle all-way twill champion Bandido and the franchise Jay Lethal.
26:08That's this Thursday here on Honor Club.
26:11You talk about Jay Lethal though, how about one of his protégés?
26:14One in a billion.
26:17This match is set for one fall, a 20-minute time limit.
26:20Introducing for us wrestling out of Punjab, India.
26:24Weighing 404 pounds, Sundam Singh!
26:31Caprice, you got any other friends that are taller than the Christmas tree?
26:34Uh, no, that's the only one right there.
26:38Let's go back to Bobby Cruz.
26:40His opponent, Charles Mason.
26:43Well, Charles Mason, a favorite here in New York City.
26:47Diabolical, death-defying, risk-taking.
26:51A man that has a very high pain tolerance, he may need it here.
26:55Yeah.
26:56Got it, got it.
26:58Strong name, see how much it follows.
27:00That handshake right there.
27:01Oh!
27:02And Mason's willing to go the dirt under the fingernails, as you say, Caprice.
27:09But, yeah.
27:10As have Blake Christian and Lee Johnson as of late with The Swirl, who have a huge tag team
27:17bout Thursday on Honor Club.
27:19Mm-mm!
27:20As Satnam's mentor, Jay Lethal, former world champion, who...
27:24Oh, no!
27:25Wow!
27:26Ripped off the top turnbuckle.
27:28That drop right there, man.
27:31Mason probably landed three times.
27:33The former world champion.
27:35And he will team up with Bandito.
27:37It's a dream team this Thursday.
27:39Oh!
27:40And Blake Christian has really had his eyes set on that world title.
27:46Satnam Singh is so dangerous, man.
27:48His height and his strength.
27:50Everything he's doing is intentional.
27:52It's like frying pans through the chest with those hands, man.
27:56I'm glad we have a hot pain-tolerant athlete here.
27:59Oh, ho, ho.
28:00But Mason has to feel every bit of this with the body.
28:02Well, and that's the crazy part about Mason.
28:04We've talked about the buster in the brain as being blue-chip athletes.
28:08Charles Mason has really gained a great reputation for his ability in the ring.
28:13But he's facing a 7'4 athlete.
28:18When you say athlete with the body, that's an understatement.
28:21You saw right there, Mason hit the rope, and Satnam Singh hit the rope.
28:25On the other side, cutting off the momentum that Mason had, and right here.
28:30Oh!
28:31He's going for a ride with the body.
28:32Certainly is.
28:33Satnam, 12 feet and down.
28:38He dunks basketballs like that.
28:40Mason.
28:41Mason.
28:42The winner of this match, Satnam Singh.
28:47Well, Satnam Singh, his mentor, Jay Lethal.
28:51Teams with the world champion, Ben Dino, this Thursday on Honor Club to take on the Swirl.
28:58But fans, there's another man who had his eyes set on the world title.
29:02And he was with Lexi Nair this past Saturday.
29:05We're here at World's End.
29:06Ace Austin, you've asked for this time, so the time is now.
29:09Thank you for the time.
29:11I've really been thinking a lot about my position here, right?
29:15I just got here.
29:16I haven't been here that long, but I came here to go directly for the best.
29:19This is where the best are.
29:21And one person I noticed in particular on a hot streak.
29:24Bandido, the Ring of Honor world champion.
29:27So right now, let's call it formal.
29:30I would like to throw my name in the hat for a Ring of Honor world title match.
29:35I think Ace Austin versus Bandido is some...
29:37Ace Austin.
29:38You've been here all of five minutes.
29:40You're already calling out the caliber of talent like Bandido, the Ring of Honor world champion?
29:46Well, it's so funny that I just saw your boys, the Bang Bang Gang, lose their title match against FTR.
29:54It doesn't look like the Bang Bang Gang is going to be in any title situation anytime soon.
30:00Look, you might say that I couldn't stand up to Bandido.
30:05Of course you would say that because you did just lose to him.
30:08Makes sense.
30:09But if reps is what I need, if more matches is what I need to prove to somebody like you that I can stand toe-to-toe with Bandido, then how about we do that?
30:23How about Ace Austin versus a Ring of Honor original?
30:28Okay, maybe not original.
30:29A Ring of Honor veteran.
30:31That's a little much.
30:32How about this?
30:33How about Ace Austin versus Rocky Romero on Ring of Honor?
30:38How's that sound to you?
30:39Huh?
30:40That sounds mighty fine.
30:41Mighty fine.
30:42Let's make that happen then, huh?
30:43You can call me.
30:44Nope.
30:45Rule.
30:46Power.
30:47Hard and Mime in the right place from the Bang Bang Gang's Ace Austin.
31:02Got a big challenge here tonight.
31:04This match is set for one fall of a 20 minute time limit.
31:07Approaching the ring.
31:08A set of Los Angeles, California, weighing 171 pounds.
31:13He's representing the Dawn Callis family, Rocky Romero.
31:22You know, Rocky Romero, truly one of the power brokers in wrestling.
31:27His time in New Japan, CMLL, Ring of Honor, AEW, you name it.
31:33Champion in New Japan, CMLL and Ring of Honor.
31:38The world title has evaded it.
31:40And he took offense to this man wanting to go straight to the top.
31:43His opponent, rest out of Atlantic City, New Jersey, weighing 210 pounds.
31:49He's representing the Bang Bang Gang, Ace Austin.
31:57And what an addition to ROH and the AEW Ace Austin has been, Caprice.
32:03Absolutely.
32:04This young man has been on fire for a long time.
32:07Great to have him here at Ring of Honor.
32:09He's wanting to get into deep end.
32:11Coming in, saying what he wants.
32:12There's nothing wrong with that, man.
32:13If you want to be a champion, you face champion.
32:15That's how you do it.
32:16If you get a chance to do it, you take it.
32:18And if you want to prove it, you'd be willing to do so.
32:20And that's exactly what Ace Austin is doing.
32:22And he's proving against one of the best, man.
32:24I have a lot of respect for Ace Austin, who broke into professional wrestling in my hometown,
32:28Allentown, Pennsylvania.
32:30Climbing the ranks across the country, across the world, making his name in Vegas.
32:34And now finding himself in the deep end against the top of the top here in Ring of Honor
32:39against a man as distinguished as Rocky Romero.
32:41Code of Honor here, too.
32:42And we're off.
32:44Tell you what, man.
32:45I faced Rocky years ago.
32:46I faced Austin more recently.
32:48And if you ask me, man, Austin is a shell of Rocky Romero, man.
32:53Going the same.
32:54Going from country to country.
32:56Earning his craft.
32:59Learning different people.
33:01Learning who he is.
33:02And winning championships all over.
33:04It's the same thing that Rocky did.
33:05And I believe a lot of athletes took that from Rocky and just kind of stepped it up a notch.
33:11Well, and think about this.
33:12Our friends at CMLL are at an unprecedented scale of sellouts in Arena Mexico.
33:18Just success.
33:19They're on fire.
33:20Rocky, now with his new attitude under Don Callis, takes credit for starting all of that.
33:24And, you know, historic welterweight champion and a great shoot against.
33:28It's nobody.
33:29You can't lie about any of that, man.
33:30No matter whether you like Rocky or not.
33:33He's instrumental in all of those.
33:35And looking at him in the years past, man, you would look at Rocky and be like, Rocky's everywhere.
33:39You admired it.
33:40And sometimes a little bit jealous about it.
33:42But look who he is now, man.
33:43He's almost a mediator between all of these guys and making great connections.
33:48Well, and turning that hat into the Don Callis family.
33:51Look at that.
33:52Through the ropes.
33:53And, of course, no stranger reunited the Rottweilers here last year.
33:57Caprice.
33:58Yeah.
33:59In a big historic moment.
34:00And the Hammerstein.
34:01Rocky has huge connections wherever he goes, man.
34:05He has connections in CMLL.
34:06He has connections in New Japan.
34:08He has connections in AEW, connections in Ring of Honor.
34:11Rocky makes friends or enemies wherever he goes.
34:14And looking for Shuranoi off the, oh, nobody home.
34:18Big back elbow there.
34:20Also probably one of the greatest tag team wrestlers in the world.
34:24And he can line up with anybody and become champion.
34:27Well, did so here in Ring of Honor.
34:29Of course, with Ricky Reyes.
34:30Oh, we saw him.
34:32Rocky team with homicide.
34:33He might not remember that after that kick, though.
34:35Beautifully delivered by Ace Austin.
34:37Ace Austin will not be denied, man.
34:39And the movement that Ace Austin has is extremely unique.
34:43Hard to plan for.
34:44Especially that kickstand avoidance that he has from Rocky.
34:49Following Rocky on the outside.
34:50Rocky going away, trying to create space.
34:52And Ace Austin closing that space up.
34:54Putting Rocky right back inside with Rocky's fist in danger.
34:57That bottom rope is to set up Riccoboni.
35:00Yeah.
35:01Oh, but it's caught.
35:02It's caught by Romero.
35:03Wow.
35:04Springboard.
35:05Question mark.
35:06Kick instead.
35:07Caught the knee driven.
35:08Knee.
35:09The quad.
35:10Basement drop kick delivers from Romero.
35:13Watch this.
35:14Watch this.
35:15Watch this.
35:16Watch this.
35:17I see you, buddy.
35:18Oh, what?
35:19Yeah.
35:20The kick is Cristiano Ronaldo.
35:21Raul.
35:22A fuller.
35:23Who delivered the decisive goal.
35:24A little bit too much time away from Austin, though, man.
35:26He's gonna regret that.
35:27He was still cool, though.
35:29I agree completely.
35:33I agree completely.
35:34Oh, a knife head's dropped there.
35:36He's about five seconds away from an athlete who's trying to prove himself worthy of a world
35:41championship match.
35:42I don't think that five seconds is gonna go unseen.
35:46Well, especially a world champion who, let's face it, this Thursday, facing one of the men that, who's had a target on the world champion for quite some time.
35:56And Blake Christian as the swirl take on Bandito.
35:59And the franchise, Jay Lethal, Thursday on Honor Club, just two days away.
36:04So much respect for Bandito, definitely Jay Lethal.
36:07But when I see Bandito come out of survival defense, man, I realized there that it's gonna take so much to get that crown off of Bandito, man.
36:15He's the most wanted, and he wears that with pride.
36:18Well, we talked about how more first run matches brand new content to Honor Club this year than any year prior.
36:27Austin lost his step with the body.
36:29Oh, he did.
36:30Yeah.
36:31And now there's one ever.
36:32And two ever.
36:33Looking for three ever.
36:35Instead, drops to one knee.
36:37Austin!
36:38Oh!
36:39Drives the clothesline.
36:41It's been forever since I've seen forever, everybody.
36:43Well, that's the, that's the, the blessing and the curse of being as successful as Rocky Romero is.
36:52The blessing is you're around, you make money, you win titles.
36:55The, the curse is the wrestlers like Ace Austin breaking in, and in the big time, they're starting to learn your moves.
37:02Your three ever didn't sound as cool as four ever.
37:05That's right.
37:06Side-rushing leg sweep there.
37:08It's Ace Austin.
37:09He at the leg drop.
37:11That's a great combination, man.
37:13That rushing leg sweep, targeting the neck, and then that leg drop right on the neck.
37:17Ace is setting everything up for this finish, Riccoboni.
37:20Staying high on the head.
37:21We call them head hunters.
37:23Three, four, five.
37:24That's Ace Austin.
37:26Yeah, we can net net.
37:30And look at Austin.
37:32Nice set up here.
37:35Austin setting him high.
37:37Whoa.
37:38Kick to the back of the head.
37:39Everything that Austin is doing is on the head of Rocky Romero.
37:43And has Romero right where he wants him, does Austin.
37:46Yeah.
37:47Up the ladder.
37:48Wow.
37:50One, two.
37:52Oh, no.
37:53Just the two count there.
37:55Gathering things together, man.
37:58That flip off the top of that run off the top.
38:01Hit Rocky in the back for the jolster neck as well.
38:04And I know a lot of the damage has been hitting the neck of Rocky Romero in the head area,
38:08and I think that's what Ace is aiming for.
38:10Well, he likes that running neck breaker, the fold.
38:13Yep.
38:14Front face lock here blocked by Romero.
38:16Instead, it's Rocky.
38:17Grabbing the wrist around and rewind.
38:19Kick catches Austin.
38:21A lot of them riding his shoulder, man.
38:24Right in the elbow there.
38:25Rocky knows it.
38:26And Rocky charging in.
38:28It's Austin.
38:29Up and...
38:30Oh, goodness.
38:31Austin, though.
38:32Rocky did to him.
38:33So it's a flip.
38:34Two.
38:35Austin may have tweaked the ankle earlier in the battle stack.
38:36Two.
38:37And it's Rocky back to his feet first.
38:38Looking for a powerbomb, perhaps.
38:39Austin flips over, rolls through.
38:40Austin stepping in.
38:41Oh, nice.
38:42Wow.
38:43And we have...
38:44What a way to get in the figure four and now.
38:45Whoa.
38:46He's trapped.
38:47Dude.
38:48Oh.
38:49Oh.
38:50Oh.
38:51Oh.
38:52Oh.
38:53Oh.
38:54Oh.
38:55Oh.
38:56Oh.
38:57Oh.
38:58Oh.
38:59Oh.
39:00Oh.
39:01Oh.
39:02Oh.
39:03Incredible heavy combination from Ace Austin.
39:07Ace Austin had him wrap tight, man.
39:10That's a lot of strength.
39:11Whoa.
39:12Rocky's leg.
39:13Rocky got eyes in the back of his head.
39:15Oh, no.
39:16He got sugar sight.
39:17Oh, no.
39:18Stefan.
39:19Stefan.
39:20Collapsed.
39:21Rocky going to the throat.
39:22And now Shuranoi.
39:23And Rocky's gonna steal this one.
39:25Rocky's gonna steal this one.
39:26Two.
39:27And Austin able to kick him.
39:29He got a kick out.
39:30Whoo.
39:31Whoo.
39:32I don't even know if that would have been an upset, man.
39:35That would have been Rocky capitalizing on what he said.
39:38Saying Austin's not ready for a title shot, man.
39:41Austin has to win this match with Cavani.
39:43Well, for Austin, it would certainly be the biggest win of his time here in ROH.
39:48CMLL in New Japan.
39:49Sure annoyed.
39:50Countered by Austin.
39:51And look at the spin out.
39:52Rocky.
39:53Rocky.
39:54Front face lock.
39:55But it's Austin.
39:56The strength of Ace Austin.
39:57The quads like Saquon Barkley.
39:58Propelling Romero into the air and down.
40:01And low center grabbing him.
40:02Used eyes.
40:03Blocked that from having him right.
40:04Rip the body wins for that.
40:05Avoided by Rocky.
40:06Rocky charges in.
40:07Avoided by Austin.
40:08Yeah, it was Austin looking for the fold.
40:09The springboard kick connects.
40:10And now, guns up.
40:11It's the fold.
40:12One, two, one, two.
40:13That's it.
40:14The winner of this match is Austin.
40:17Well, if you want to call out the world champ, you better be ready for anybody that starts
40:45to come after you.
40:47A bold claim made.
40:48A challenge issued.
40:49Ace Austin victorious.
40:50And will certainly have his eyes on the huge tag bout this Thursday.
40:56But fans, as we head to tonight's main event.
41:00It was back at final battle.
41:02Red Velvet.
41:03Mercedes Monet.
41:04Velvet was the television champion.
41:07Monet won the inter version of that.
41:10Unified the titles.
41:11It was back and forth.
41:12High risk up out.
41:13It looked like Monet had Velvet put away.
41:16Even getting the cross face in.
41:18There was nowhere to go for Velvet.
41:20But Velvet took advantage of great positioning and awareness.
41:24Scoring a shocker.
41:25A huge victory for Red Velvet.
41:27As she becomes the first two-time Ring of Honor Women's Television Champion.
41:31At a pull, victory, momentum that can't be stopped anytime soon if you ask me, Riccoboni.
41:36This is an ROH Women's World Television Championship Proving Ground match.
41:43It's up for one fall.
41:44It could be ten minute time limit.
41:46Approaching the ring.
41:47Wrestling from straight out of Mama's Kitchen.
41:51She is the Ring of Honor Women's World Television Champion, Red Velvet.
42:02Yep.
42:03I got a visit by Mama Mo.
42:05Her opponent, Jani Kai.
42:08Jani Kai.
42:09A record in Ring of Honor that dates back four years.
42:18Jani Kai, a fighter, high impact striker tonight.
42:23All Jani has to do, Caprice, is go ten minutes.
42:26Doesn't have to defeat Red Velvet.
42:27Just has to go ten minutes to earn herself a shot at the Women's World Television Champion.
42:33Tell you what, man, you're going against the World Television Champion and just beat Sadie's Monet,
42:37you might want to start the match with respect.
42:39I have a lot of respect for Jani Kai because of her striking ability and the team that she's had in professional wrestling.
42:45But she's starting off with somebody that's on a really hot streak, man.
42:48She's done the impossible.
42:49And since then, Monet's been on a downfall, man.
42:52Well, speaking of Monet, let's talk about tomorrow night as we'll see Willow Nightingale, one of our favorites,
42:56get a shot to continue to put cracks in the foundation of the empire that Monet has built.
43:02You think she needs help on the entrance?
43:04Whoa, well, man.
43:05For the TBS title tomorrow night on Dynamite, Willow Nightingale.
43:08Ooh, the conglomeration challenges Mercedes Mane as Jani Kai just really picking apart Red Velvet for now.
43:17Trying to slow things down as Velvet.
43:19Yeah, Jani Kai has great striking ability in that judo wrestling that she's doing.
43:23She's mixing up wrestling with judo and martial arts.
43:26She makes it hard for Velvet, but Velvet has the striking ability with her hands.
43:30Yep, exactly when I said it, man.
43:32Those inherited fists that she has from her father and her grandfather.
43:36If it goes from a striking game from the fists, it's gonna be Velvet's game, but just tricking with them legs.
43:41Jani Kai has it.
43:43Look at his flexibility right here, Rick and Bonnie.
43:46And just depriving the oxygen from Jani Kai.
43:51That's two Olympic boxers in Red Velvet's family.
43:56And some strikes of her own.
43:57I like what Velvet's doing here, trying to slow down the match a little bit.
44:01Ooh!
44:02I was impressed with that climb to the top from the inside, but that kick to the sternum right there from Jani Kai was precision tuned.
44:11Every kick from Jani, man, lands exactly where she plans it to.
44:14Well, Caprice, does it make it any harder?
44:16I mean, Jani comfortable striking with the heel.
44:19You don't normally see wrestlers, athletes strike with the heel with that downward momentum.
44:24But that's the difference.
44:26Yeah, look at this right here.
44:27Right here, that's the arc, man.
44:28To be able to strike with the heel, you have to have more flexibility in your body.
44:32That more flexibility you have, you strike with that heel, that's more torque coming from your hip, coming from your knee,
44:37coming from everything extending right there from that power.
44:40That's a lot of hurt from that heel.
44:41Leg hooked.
44:42Not afraid to go from the laces, as they say in soccer, either.
44:47Like Harry Wilson putting one in for Pullum.
44:49As it is Jani Kai just stalking over Red Velvet.
44:54And, you know, what we've seen successful in these Proving Ground bouts, Caprice, is trying to go ten minutes.
44:59You can win.
45:00You can.
45:01If you win, you get a title shot.
45:02But if you go ten...
45:03Proving grounds are not safe.
45:04If you go ten, it seems like that's been the winning strategy.
45:07Oh, goodness!
45:08Look at this!
45:09Whoa!
45:10And Jani's not looking to run off the clock here.
45:13Absolutely stretching.
45:14And you can see the kinesic tape already on Red Velvet, man, pulling that shoulder out of the socket.
45:20And that jolt, man, when she put that move inside with that transition.
45:24That took out Velvet for a little bit to be able to apply Velvet to the ropes.
45:28This is traditional rules.
45:31Unlike the pure rules.
45:32Unlike a bout against, say, Deanna Purrazzo, the Women's Spirit Champion, you get unlimited rope breaks under the regular rules.
45:39But any time you see a champion retreat to the ropes, man, that has a lot of respect for the challenger.
45:45Oh, and...
45:47But the champ in a bad way right now in this Proving Ground bout is Jani.
45:51Mmm!
45:52These kicks, man.
45:54These kicks coming from every direction, man.
45:57Jani is dangerous from...
45:58She has kicks, she has elbows, she has slams, she has judo, she has it all with the body.
46:03And just so quick, the movement, the slightly off-center style movement, off-kilter, makes it very difficult to defend against Jani Kai.
46:13Looking for the third slam.
46:14Wait a minute!
46:15One too many attempts!
46:16Two!
46:17The roll-up gets two there.
46:18Trying the same thing too many times for a champion, man, but you're right, it's hard to find a training partner to prepare for somebody like this.
46:25Nice snap, Mary.
46:26Even that's just slightly off-kilter.
46:28Just everything...
46:29Right back.
46:30Just from a slightly different angle.
46:31It's...
46:32I don't know how you even start to prepare, and there's, again...
46:35That shoulder.
46:36Trying for that shoulder and the rib area, but mainly that shoulder that Jani's working on.
46:41Yep.
46:42Oh, wait a minute.
46:43And a hammer lock into it.
46:45Almost a...
46:46A half-straight jacket.
46:47I don't know if I've ever seen anything like this.
46:49Yeah.
46:50Look at this trap here, a hammer lock, dragon suplex.
46:55I don't even know what you might call this.
46:57This is innovative.
46:59That's the thing about Jani.
47:02Nice stunner there.
47:04They'll be doing whatever she can.
47:06I was saying about Jani men, it's hard to find somebody to train for.
47:09And you're still unorthodox like this, but it's only unorthodox for a wrestler.
47:13It's not unorthodox for Jani.
47:15She knows exactly what she's doing, ducking that clothesline with the waistlock.
47:18Nice DDT!
47:19And out of desperation, the champion finds the DDT to stunt this proving ground challenger's momentum
47:30here in the historic Hammerstein Ballroom.
47:32Oh, big clothesline here as we approach the halfway mark of the 10-minute time limit.
47:39If Jani Kai goes to 10 or earns a victory, she earns a future shot.
47:45In a bad position here though.
47:47Yep, that's right here.
47:49Setting it up right here.
47:51That kid just getting warm, Riccoboni.
47:54Whoa, wait a minute.
47:56Red Velvet getting a little too comfortable as Jani.
48:01Now off the ropes.
48:03Jani Kai...
48:04Whoa!
48:05And again, that bottom of the foot.
48:08And now the heel!
48:09The heel to the temple!
48:11That heel to the temple aiming to the shoulder as well.
48:14Riccoboni and Jani has found her spot.
48:16And Velvet might be knocked out.
48:18Wait a minute, up and over.
48:19The adrenaline trying to roll Jani through and away.
48:22Wow!
48:23Wow!
48:24How many times have you seen that?
48:26My goodness!
48:27That right just caught and then that question mark kick weaving through the outstretched arm.
48:34That inside question mark kick leaves a lot of questions for the champion now.
48:39Off the ropes, Jani with the PK to the spine!
48:43And the Proving Ground challenger is in the driver's seat looking to get the victory here.
48:48Not said enough, trying to close the business with that kick.
48:53There's that slap, my goodness, might be a knockout.
48:56One, two, one.
48:57The winner of this match, the Ring of Honor Women's World Television Champion, Red Velvet.
49:08Tell you what, that punt's coming right out of the kitchen sink.
49:11Out of desperation happens to be a knockout blow.
49:14Proof is in the pudding, the heat is in the kitchen.
49:17And our champion continues to stir it up.
49:20The knockout, always awesome to see her at Ring of Honor.
49:23What a great match against the champion.
49:25We'd love to see her again.
49:27Fans, if you like what you saw here tonight, two days from now on Honor Club.
49:32And each and every week, we will see the Ring of Honor World Champion Bandito,
49:36team with the franchise Shane Lethal, to take on the Swirl.
