00:00:00Welcome, everyone, to Rick and Body Wrestling.
00:00:19Ian Rick and Body, Caprice Coleman here.
00:00:22This tag team match is set for one ball with a 20-minute.
00:00:25What?
00:00:26The Bricks, I'll take it from here.
00:00:30Everybody knows we are the premier athletes, Tony Nese, Aria Daivari, and folks, 128 days
00:00:41ago, my bicep was ripped from the bone, and I have not been attacked in that time once
00:00:52thanks to my protector, the big SD, Story Denali.
00:00:59Wow.
00:01:00And you have to think, if the Dallas Cowboys had even one athlete the caliber of my team,
00:01:12maybe, maybe they would have made the playoffs instead of watching from the sidelines like
00:01:20you NARP losers.
00:01:22Oh, come on.
00:01:23I'm not even a Cowboys fan.
00:01:24That's code, and I kind of agree with him, but it's code.
00:01:27That's okay, because tonight, I'm going to let you all be a part of the winning team, so
00:01:33when I say athletes, you say rule.
00:01:37Nothing else.
00:01:38Hands in, boys and girls.
00:01:40Nothing else at all.
00:01:41It's going to work.
00:01:42It's going to work.
00:01:43It's going to work.
00:01:44Oh, athlete.
00:01:45Well, I continue to be amazed by Mark Sterling's curiosity with that chant.
00:01:51And here are two men lighting R.O.H. on fire.
00:01:52Third put it, and a combined weight of 365 pounds, and a priest, and down my kid, Tommy Billington.
00:02:08What we have here is a classic case of please don't leave me.
00:02:14So, Priest and Billington, this is your first and last warning.
00:02:17You need to find something else to do with those hurt feelings that you have.
00:02:21In case you boys aren't keeping score, we are far from done.
00:02:29Well, Priest and Billington, and the swirl certainly on a collision course.
00:02:34Billington and Priest, who's in the ring right now with Ari Daivari.
00:02:37Oh.
00:02:38Winning the code of honor, gets it.
00:02:40Caprice, they have been at each other's necks, and it has been Billington and Priest really
00:02:45standing up for those who have been unable to defend themselves.
00:02:49In some cases, warding off attacks on the R.O.H. World Champion Bandido.
00:02:54Yes.
00:02:55I like these two young guys.
00:02:56They started off here, literally worked their way up, man.
00:02:59And they had great tutors with Jay Lethal.
00:03:01Jay Lethal's left them behind, but look at them, man.
00:03:04They're in the face trying to get another shot at the tag team titles, doing what they have to do to get there.
00:03:09And you have to respect that.
00:03:11Well, it came so close.
00:03:12That's a great point of winning those tag team titles in Columbus.
00:03:16Against that left high, Sammy Guevara and Beast Mortos.
00:03:18Big shoulder tackle there.
00:03:20A little center of gravity right there, man.
00:03:22You see that shoulder tackle.
00:03:24How Priest went dug into the chest.
00:03:27Oh, but smart move by Daivari.
00:03:30Tag is made.
00:03:31In comes Tony Nese.
00:03:32And unloading, I still can't believe that number one, Mark Sterling can count to 128.
00:03:40What?
00:03:41Based on his lawyering.
00:03:42But that he also was telling the truth about the insurance policy story.
00:03:46Denali, who's been a real difference maker, undefeated in six-person tag team action.
00:03:51Tell you what, man.
00:03:52This is the first time I have to say that Mark Sterling came down and everything he said about his bicep,
00:03:56stuff he said about the Cowboys, stuff he said about his story, everything was true.
00:04:01It just didn't taste good.
00:04:04Nice wrist lock there.
00:04:05Billington, the legal man.
00:04:06Tag in, Adam Priest.
00:04:08Of course, the action hot and heavy to kick things off.
00:04:11The next big event on the AEW calendar is AEW Revolution.
00:04:15Coming your way from Los Angeles, California.
00:04:17Tag is made live Sunday, March 15th on HBO Max.
00:04:21Tickets available now, but Caprice, don't forget, just added to the calendar,
00:04:25ROH and Maple Leaf Pro teaming up for Global Wars in Canada.
00:04:29Yeah.
00:04:30Friday, March 27th.
00:04:31The next day, followed up by, oh, MLP Uprising, Saturday, March 28th.
00:04:36This will be broadcast on Triller.
00:04:38The replay's available on Honor Club.
00:04:40The Maple Leaf, baby.
00:04:43Incredible.
00:04:44Our friend Scott Tamora up there.
00:04:45Tag made a lot of history.
00:04:47Man, I remember us doing the Maple Leaf Gardens Caprice, the Briscoes.
00:04:50Yeah.
00:04:51You and I called that ladder war where they captured the ROH World Tag Team title.
00:04:54It's going to be a huge night in Windsor.
00:04:56Whoa.
00:04:57Whoa.
00:04:58Good wrestling here.
00:05:00Tony Nese taking a headlock takeover.
00:05:02Billington right with him, man.
00:05:03Tried to block over, but that handsom couldn't get it.
00:05:06He's holding onto that headlock.
00:05:07That's a tight headlock there.
00:05:08That's a front roll in.
00:05:10Nice.
00:05:11And both men back to their feet.
00:05:13It's Billington grabbing a headlock off the ropes.
00:05:16Nice drop down, leapfrog, shoulder tackle there.
00:05:18Of course, Tommy Billington's uncle, the dynamite kid, the great dynamite kid.
00:05:23A lot of history in Toronto.
00:05:25Hey, man, that was a successful drop down.
00:05:28See these drop downs happen.
00:05:30Tony Nese did it twice, and it was successful.
00:05:32That's what's happening when he dropped down on these guys.
00:05:34It was successful, tripped him up, and now Nese is in control.
00:05:37Oh!
00:05:38But Nese using that low center of gravity.
00:05:41And blocking the right, delivering his own.
00:05:43But it's Nese on the outside.
00:05:45This is where the athletes drive.
00:05:46Oh, goodness.
00:05:47I thought Billington was going in second side of the ring,
00:05:50but Nese sitting shoulder first to that apron, man.
00:05:53That's gotta hurt.
00:05:54And Nese going inside to break the count on the outside.
00:06:00Ah, here we go.
00:06:01Piece of human garbage.
00:06:03Hey, you got your red shoes.
00:06:06And now...
00:06:09Okay.
00:06:10I'm sure Mark Snowden's a big Elvis Costello fan.
00:06:13The Angels want to wear my red shoes.
00:06:14No angels in this premier athletes group.
00:06:16I got some red bottom shoes.
00:06:18Never mind, go ahead.
00:06:19Oh!
00:06:20And those clothes lefts from the southpaw, Tony Nese.
00:06:25Everything from Tony Nese is functional.
00:06:28It's strength, man.
00:06:29It's power.
00:06:30It's precision.
00:06:31It's fought out.
00:06:32And the shots from Billington.
00:06:36That's two of our great tag teams here in ROH.
00:06:38Up and around.
00:06:39It's Billington.
00:06:40It's Billington with a pile driver.
00:06:42Wow!
00:06:43Oh, that arm gave out.
00:06:44Yeah, yeah!
00:06:45That shoulder, man.
00:06:46Ram that shoulder.
00:06:47Right into that apron, man.
00:06:49And right now focusing in on that is Tony Nese.
00:06:51Two!
00:06:52Two!
00:06:53Two!
00:06:54Two!
00:06:55Two!
00:06:56Two!
00:06:57Two!
00:06:58We've got to go multiple premier athletes.
00:06:59They've certainly been on a roll.
00:07:00Undefeated six-person tag team action.
00:07:03If they put a win or two together in two-on-two in Australian Rules tag team action,
00:07:08they're going to be at the top of the list of contenders for LFI.
00:07:11Tell you what, this is what you have to do to get it, though,
00:07:14when you look at the tag team division.
00:07:15You're looking at people that want the tag team titles.
00:07:17As you can see it all.
00:07:18Now, you are seeing a different...
00:07:19Goodness.
00:07:20You can see the different version of the premier athletes now that...
00:07:23The momentum that they're riding.
00:07:25but certainly operating with a ton of confidence as tony knees up and that's beautiful man that's
00:07:36beautiful beautiful triangle muscle misses and i wonder what billington and priest want more a title
00:07:48shot oh a shot at maybe the swirl and jay lethal i know billington wants to tag right now caprice
00:07:54it definitely wants to tag but i'm thinking that uh billington and priest want a title shot without
00:07:58lincoln to maybe win it without him to prove that they could do it on their own
00:08:02and both men are down as this match has reset billington has a lot to prove in his own opinion
00:08:17he believes he and priest can reach the top of the mountain
00:08:20watch it watch it watch it as billington makes the tag here comes priest big close line
00:08:26and priest takes on davari
00:08:28davari tried to hold on to billington couldn't do it realized that billington made that tag

00:12:16she'll be coming to our
00:12:16wait a minute
00:12:17Oh, come on, that's lethal, that's Johnson, that's Blake Christian.
00:12:22No time to celebrate here.
00:12:24Now it's like seven on two.
00:12:28This is a call for unconscionable.
00:12:32Seven on two, you're absolutely right, and look at this.
00:12:37Figure fours in stereo.
00:12:38Come on, man, is there anybody here that can protect these guys?
00:12:43When you're by yourself, you're by yourself, man.
00:12:46This is outnumbered way past.
00:12:50And Billington and Priest, who've done so much to stand up for others,
00:12:55unfortunately, at a seven on two disadvantage.
00:12:59And Christian getting his licks in as lethal,
00:13:03delivering on his former protégés.
00:13:06I'll tell you what, Ian, if you are attacked this much,
00:13:09you have to be considered a threat by everybody attacking you.
00:13:13Hey, look at that.
00:13:16Christian with the figure four, lethal, pounding away.
00:13:18This is where it's at.
00:13:21I hope he's proud.
00:13:22I hate this version of lethal.
00:13:24The swirl.
00:13:26And lethal said they were done last week, but apparently not.
00:13:35We know Jay Lethal can hold a grudge.
00:13:38And now with Blake Christian and Big Shotty Lee Johnson,
00:13:40two of the hottest stars in ROH.
00:13:42Christian undefeated in singles action in 2025, considering that 2026.
00:13:48Keep your nose out of our business.
00:13:52Keep your nose out of our business.
00:13:53We're even.
00:13:54It's only even when he's on top.
00:13:55I know this version of the body.
00:14:02I think this is long from over.
00:14:04Once Priest and Billington come through, once they realize what has gone down.
00:14:09If I was playing Christian, Lee Johnson, and Jay Lethal.
00:14:12Hey, how do you get back to the real stuff?
00:14:15And he don't.
00:14:16And he still wants the world champion, Dino.
00:14:19It's calling, a driving force from within, pushing, beating, rising to the surface.
00:14:33The time has come to let it out and ignite the flame that sparks revolution.
00:14:43AEW Revolution, live Sunday, March 15th from Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles.
00:14:49Tickets on sale now at AEWTIX.com.
00:14:56Revolution, coming to the city of angels.
00:15:00This man's heads in the clouds with the angels.
00:15:03This is a two versus one match, set for one ball for the 20 minute time limit.
00:15:08Approaching the ring, let's go to Punjab, India.
00:15:12Weigh 404 pounds.
00:15:16Satnam Singh.
00:15:20Took my daughter to her first Sixers game, we saw Joel Embiid, who's a monster of a man.
00:15:26Satnam Singh, even larger, taking on two competitors here tonight.
00:15:31His opponents, Josiah, John, and Dante Leon.
00:15:36Josiah, John, Dante, Leon have a big task ahead of them, pun fully intended, Caprice.
00:15:43I'll tell you what, man, he was announced at 402 pounds.
00:15:47Billington and Priest were announced at 380 pounds.
00:15:50Just think about that.
00:15:53That's a good call-out.
00:15:56Let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go.
00:15:58Yeah, these two young men, they're gonna have to really work together, as crazy as that sounds.
00:16:05And Caprice, have you been on ShopHonor.com lately?
00:16:08Because I have, and they have satin-sized shirts.
00:16:10Shirts available in any size for any fan.
00:16:13That's good, I need a great night now.
00:16:15And Mr. John is going to need something to cover up that blistered chest.
00:16:23Whoa!
00:16:24Just tossing John over, Dante Leon.
00:16:30That Echo Sonic probably through the arena and outside parking lot.
00:16:36I bet you their car alarm's going off right now, Riccoboni.
00:16:39That was seismic.
00:16:46I would not want to beat Dante Leon right now.
00:16:51What's this, Bill?
00:16:52As Satinam Singh undefeated in ROH.
00:16:58And it doesn't look like that will end today.
00:17:01We want to play basketball.
00:17:03He wants to play basketball.
00:17:05Duncan Josiah, he was drafted by the nearby Dallas Mavericks.
00:17:10Uh-oh.
00:17:15Yeah, Dante Leon knows that a mistake has been made.
00:17:18Goodness.
00:17:19My goodness.
00:17:21Can you imagine attacking somebody from behind and all it does is get their attention?
00:17:25That's what just happened here.
00:17:27Uh-oh.
00:17:28Uh-oh.
00:17:29Double chokeslam.
00:17:30No more reason.
00:17:31Oh, wait a minute.
00:17:32Nice move by Josiah.
00:17:34Taking out the legs of the giant.
00:17:37That's how you get him down.
00:17:38And Dante Leon, the end seeker, getting an elbow in there.
00:17:45Down to one knee.
00:17:46Down to one knee.
00:17:47Ah, this man does not leave his feet.
00:17:49You cannot make this man leave his feet.
00:17:52One and a billion.
00:17:54The double dunk.
00:17:55That looked good.
00:17:56It's a bad sign.
00:18:00I guarantee Josiah has never been higher.
00:18:03This match is almost over, Rickabani.
00:18:05A stack.
00:18:06Two.
00:18:07That's it.
00:18:08That's it.
00:18:09That's it.
00:18:10Yeah.
00:18:11Yeah.
00:18:12The winner of this match, Satnam Singh.
00:18:16Satnam Singh stacking up the victories once again.
00:18:21Pun fully intended.
00:18:23A tag team on the rise here in ROH.
00:18:26Crew.
00:18:27Let's take a look at what they've been up to.
00:18:30It's been a long time since you've seen Crew in the building.
00:18:35And we are back.
00:18:37We've had a lot of things to overcome.
00:18:39But consider those things over Kane.
00:18:42Listen, I came here to start a new journey.
00:18:46I came here to find the best.
00:18:47And watching you two, I like what I see.
00:18:50Y'all match my crazy pretty well.
00:18:52But we're not just back with Action Andretti.
00:18:54We're not just back with Leo Rush.
00:18:56We are back with new crew member, Lacey Lane.
00:19:01I think I found my crew.
00:19:02We saw a few weeks ago, Lacey Lane joining the ranks of Crew.
00:19:11Heading on a collision course with the Rassels.
00:19:13Buster.
00:19:14Fishtag team matches.
00:19:15Except for one ball of a 20-minute time limit.
00:19:17Team number one in a combined weight of 398 pounds.
00:19:22Alec Price and Jordan Oliver.
00:19:28Well, they say maximize your minutes.
00:19:30Alec Price and Jordan Oliver have done just that.
00:19:33Alec Price challenging MJF for the AEW World Championship in the great state of Maine.
00:19:38Impressed the AEW World Champion with Triple B at stake.
00:19:44Buster and the Brain through their showings in ROH and AEW against the AEW World Champion have earned themselves.
00:19:52ROH and AEW contracts, Caprice.
00:19:55And I'm so glad they're here.
00:19:56One of the most exciting young teams on the planet.
00:19:58The same can be said for their opponents.
00:20:00Absolutely.
00:20:01They're going to try to take over the world.
00:20:03And Crew is trying to stop it.
00:20:08They're opponents at a combined weight of three.
00:20:11What's up, Texas?
00:20:12Let's get it.
00:20:13Action and ready.
00:20:15Leo Rush Crew.
00:20:20Action and ready on the left.
00:20:22Leo Rush on the right.
00:20:23Conspicuous by her absence.
00:20:25Newest crew member.
00:20:26They're two in the building, baby.
00:20:27Let's get it.
00:20:28Group having, I mean, it's really a little slated as of late by the addition of the Rassels to AEW programming, Caprice.
00:20:37Yeah, they're insulted by it, but they have to get used to it because they were a team once that people had to get used to.
00:20:45And that's the way this tag team division goes.
00:20:48Great wrestling.
00:20:49And I'm actually excited to see these two young men here.
00:20:53Of course, great effort last night on Dynamite for Buster and the Brain against FDR.
00:20:58Code of Honor adhered to.
00:21:00And to me, Ring of Honor has always thrived with disruptive tag teams.
00:21:06Yeah.
00:21:07We've seen these teams that seemingly come out of nowhere, that become mainstays, that become Hall of Fame tag teams.
00:21:13I mean, not too long ago, we said that about the Young Bucks just a decade ago.
00:21:18Did you see a waistlock here?
00:21:19History here.
00:21:20And Riccoboni, you was part of that, and I think that's why you are Fightful Commentator of the Year.
00:21:25And you won that award.
00:21:26Just want to slide that in there, Riccoboni.
00:21:27Yeah.
00:21:28Heard you.
00:21:29Got it.
00:21:30Well, thank you.
00:21:31The first person I thanked was you, Capri.
00:21:34Side headlock.
00:21:35We're a team.
00:21:36Almost nine years together, some form or fashion.
00:21:39Seven years straight.
00:21:40Tag made.
00:21:41Here in ROH.
00:21:42Double accidental here from Price.
00:21:45Price is the buster here, man.
00:21:47This guy moves, wakes up.
00:21:49He sleeps and he wakes up on his feet somehow.
00:21:51I don't know how he does it, but he does.
00:21:54Nice pop up from Andretti.
00:21:57Both these teams very toyetic.
00:21:59Of course, limited quantities of Mark and Jay Briscoe available in the Jazzwares.
00:22:03Oh, no!
00:22:04Can you imagine if they made a crew set?
00:22:06They'd have to have those jackets.
00:22:08Yeah.
00:22:09Speaking of jackets, many of us are preparing to be impacted by severe winter weather.
00:22:14The state of Texas has declared a state of emergency.
00:22:17The safety of our performers, crew and you, the fans, is our highest priority.
00:22:22With that, ROH and Metroplex Global Wars will be postponed.
00:22:26More details to follow.
00:22:28Look at this, Alec Price using the ropes there.
00:22:31Wrist lock there.
00:22:32I think if we had Alec Price, we would have to have it somehow with a wind-up toy where he's moving.
00:22:37He can't sit still inside the pack.
00:22:39Nice road through here though.
00:22:41Leo Rush trying to take control of him, but the inside about Alec Price is he has a great wrestling pedigree inside him.
00:22:48A great wrestler, great tag there as well.
00:22:51Send off misdirection, but you can't have a misdirection with Leo Rush.
00:22:54He's the master of it.
00:22:55Duck that right side.
00:22:57And now the tag has been made.
00:22:59Nice standoff.
00:23:00This is going to be an exciting tag team match here.
00:23:02Yeah.
00:23:03We have reset things here.
00:23:06Evenly fought bout thus far.
00:23:09We talked about crew and love those jackets.
00:23:12We talked about how we can't pull them off, of course.
00:23:14Now it includes, wait a minute, Buster and Brain includes Lacey Lane, of course, not at ringside.
00:23:19She may be performing some recon on the Rascals right now.
00:23:23You gotta lose your brain.
00:23:24But I would not overlook Price and Oliver at this stage in the game.
00:23:27Price and Oliver showing right there they'll do whatever it takes to get the win.
00:23:31Nice chop right there.
00:23:33And Dredi was not expecting that, man, expecting the polished team to follow the rules.
00:23:38And as soon as they got dirty, Price got dirty with them.
00:23:44And that could be the name of the game here.
00:23:46Ooh!
00:23:47Reciprocate the violence.
00:23:48And wow!
00:23:49Great double team combo there!
00:23:51Cover!
00:23:52Price!
00:23:53Two!
00:23:54Two!
00:23:55Can you imagine the building blocks of this ROH tag team division?
00:24:00Whether it's here in one year, two years, let's not overlook the present.
00:24:04But what we could see in Ring of Honor AEW between crew, Buster and the Brain.
00:24:09Billington and Priest, the premier athletes.
00:24:11Ooh, big kick there.
00:24:12The Outrunners, Shane Taylor Promotions.
00:24:15This is indicative of the Lightning fans tag team we're used to seeing in Ring of Honor, man.
00:24:20And this is some great wrestling here.
00:24:22Speed that you have to keep up with, especially when Lio rushes in the ring and then Dredi right beside him.
00:24:28And the crew from the DMV.
00:24:33Double front face lock here, but it is Jordan Oliver.
00:24:38That's using your head.
00:24:39Oh!
00:24:40Oh!
00:24:41Oh!
00:24:42Oh!
00:24:43Wow!
00:24:44Series of kicks!
00:24:45What?
00:24:46Whoa!
00:24:47What I like about Eric Price's fan is that this guy a year ago looked nothing like he looks now.
00:24:54He got advice to say, hey, put some signs on.
00:24:56Do this, do that.
00:24:57He did everything he was asked to do.
00:24:59And look at him now, he's part of the AEW roster.
00:25:05But if you're here, you're facing the best.
00:25:09And Crew taking it to another level, another gear right now.
00:25:12You have to do that.
00:25:14Crew is showing it if you're gonna be here, you're gonna wrestle top tier.
00:25:18Right now, we're it.
00:25:20Crew, two.
00:25:21Hey, get up, get up.
00:25:22And sending Price in.
00:25:24Where the hell are you missing?
00:25:25Let's go.
00:25:26And bringing Jordan Oliver in as, wait a minute.
00:25:28Whoa!
00:25:30Let's go!
00:25:32Okay.
00:25:33Okay.
00:25:34And Price.
00:25:35Two.
00:25:36Look at that.
00:25:37Sending.
00:25:38Leo Rush back into the ring.
00:25:40I like the way that Oliver got out of the way once he saw Price in the air.
00:25:44Watch the break.
00:25:45Wow!
00:25:46And up on the corner.
00:25:50Look at this!
00:25:51What is this?
00:25:52And Alec Price.
00:25:55He's good!
00:25:58Whoa!
00:25:59That's gotta be it!
00:26:01Cover!
00:26:02He breaks it up!
00:26:05My goodness, I saw Leo Rush eyes wide shut.
00:26:09That's when you're knocked out and your eyes are open.
00:26:12Can't believe what happened to you.
00:26:14The precision of holding on to Leo Rush's head smashing into the mat from that high up on
00:26:19has to give you a headache.
00:26:20And now it is Andretti.
00:26:25Dumping Oliver who's got Andretti caught.
00:26:28Alec Price charging in.
00:26:30Goodness!
00:26:31That's a mistake.
00:26:32That's a mistake.
00:26:33Can't make mistakes.
00:26:34He recovers too fast.
00:26:37Beautiful!
00:26:38Spinning kick there.
00:26:42And crew has Price right where they want him.
00:26:46Tell you what man, I know a lot about this young guy Leo Rush.
00:26:48He's a guy, if you got him down, you gotta keep him down.
00:26:50You gotta hurt him.
00:26:51Fast.
00:26:52Because if he starts moving, you're not gonna be able to catch him.
00:26:57Yeah.
00:26:58Price ducks Rush but runs right into Andretti.
00:27:04And Rush and Andretti looking for the double suplex.
00:27:09Oh!
00:27:10Planting Price.
00:27:11Cover!
00:27:12Two!
00:27:13Three!
00:27:14The winner of this match, Crew!
00:27:19Crew continue to stack up victories here in ROH.
00:27:25Against the very game, Buster and the Brain.
00:27:30But that did not overlook this talented young team.
00:27:34Now, you have to assume their intentions.
00:27:37And I shift to the Rascal.
00:27:38We're ruthless!
00:27:39We're out here!
00:27:40I like this man.
00:27:44Double Falcon Arrow suplex for the win.
00:27:47Staying with it man.
00:27:48We've got some great tag teams in Ring of Honor.
00:27:53And these two teams could be teams that define our tag team division for years to come.
00:27:59With LFI on top.
00:28:00Code of Honor here too.
00:28:02I love all it is.
00:28:03Yeah.
00:28:04Respect shown across two, in my opinion, championship caliber teams here at ROH.
00:28:14But you want to talk about championship caliber?
00:28:17How about the former ROH world champion, Dalton Castle?
00:28:20As he teams with the electrifying Outrunners in six-man tag team action next.
00:28:28And we are running hot here at Arlington.
00:28:31This is the six-man tag team action for one ball and a 20-minute time limit.
00:28:36He is number one first wrestling out of Miami Beach, Florida.
00:28:40And a combined weight of 457 pounds,
00:28:43Tooth Magnum Turbo Floyd, The Up Brothers!
00:28:49Is it me, or do they continue to get younger, tanner, and more vascular Caprice?
00:28:54That's you.
00:28:55That's you, Rick Boyle.
00:28:56That's you.
00:28:57It's TV fade too.
00:28:58It's like the screen does something funny when they come out.
00:29:00Oh, is that it?
00:29:01Is that what's happening?
00:29:03Well, here comes the former world champ.
00:29:05Their partner,
00:29:07Rescout Rochester, New York,
00:29:10Weighing 218 pounds,
00:29:13Dalton Castle!
00:29:14Now, is it just me, Rick and Bonnie, or is there a time Dalton Castle to come out?
00:29:26Yes.
00:29:28Is it just me?
00:29:29I think it might be just you.
00:29:32Hustle!
00:29:33Familiar to me.
00:29:34Oh my God!
00:29:35Look at that.
00:29:36Look at that.
00:29:37Look at these shirts.
00:29:38Look at these shirts.
00:29:39Look at these shirts!
00:29:40They are supposed to be tiny Dalton Castles.
00:29:42They are supposed to be tiny Outrunners you can buy at a store.
00:29:47But at last, they're giving us t-shirts.
00:29:50Buy them all to make us rich.
00:29:53Shophonored.com for those beautiful t-shirts
00:29:56who go back to Bobby Cruz for their opponents.
00:29:59They're a part of the team of Aussie,
00:30:01Heath, and Gino Medina.
00:30:05Well, that is a great large individual.
00:30:10As Dalton Castle trying to spread his peacock wings
00:30:13as only Dalton can.
00:30:17Look at Dalton, the Outrunners.
00:30:20The perfect addition, man.
00:30:22The Outrunners on the outside.
00:30:25Dalton Castle in the middle.
00:30:28You can't get any better, man.
00:30:29This is it.
00:30:31Wow.
00:30:35Whoa.
00:30:38Wow.
00:30:39As we take a look at the presentation.
00:30:42Yeah.
00:30:44The Prestige.
00:30:45He's a man with Bonnie.
00:30:46Give it to him, Dalton.
00:30:47And the package of Dalton Castle.
00:30:49I'm about to say it's two-plex machine.
00:30:52I'm about to say you have the greatest wrestlers ever,
00:30:54but no, you already say that.
00:30:56Well, he was talking about the tiny man
00:30:58a couple of months ago at San Diego Comic-Con.
00:31:01They announced it.
00:31:02No, no, Riccoboni.
00:31:03I feel like Charlie Brown,
00:31:05and you're telling me you're kicking his football.
00:31:07I'm sorry, I swore it.
00:31:08In the package, the Jazzwares package.
00:31:11You have an extremely fast vocabulary, Riccoboni.
00:31:16As we are going to start things off now with Truth Magnum.
00:31:21And this is Ozzy, who refuses the code of honor.
00:31:33And that's a pretty big step for newer Ring of Honor viewers.
00:31:39Christopher Daniels, it took him years to adhere to the code of honor.
00:31:44Yeah, that's just disrespect.
00:31:45You can't start off with disrespect,
00:31:46especially when you're fighting guys that are built on respect.
00:31:50Speaking of the outrunners.
00:31:53Well, the Peruvian Prince gets sent for a ride on the hip toss there.
00:31:58I think when you disrespect people like that,
00:32:01especially in Ring of Honor,
00:32:01you turn them up a notch,
00:32:03and they don't have to be at right now.
00:32:05And you can have a great exhibition match and see who wins,
00:32:08but you turn that notch up,
00:32:09and you put yourself on the wrong end of it.
00:32:14And Gina Medina.
00:32:1515-year veteran gets sent for a ride there.
00:32:18Oh, big chop across the chest.
00:32:23High on the breastplate.
00:32:25Tag made.
00:32:26And in comes Turbo Floyd.
00:32:30What a year in 2025.
00:32:32That bicep.
00:32:34You're right, Riccoboni is getting bigger.
00:32:35Whoa.
00:32:36Yeah.
00:32:38I told you.
00:32:39More tan, more younger, more vascular.
00:32:42My screen was messing up, man.
00:32:43It was weird.
00:32:44I thought so, too.
00:32:46I looked out, but I had the same vision when I looked at it in real life.
00:32:50Double hip toss there.
00:32:51I almost thought I would see an 8-bit vision.
00:32:55Whoa.
00:32:55And there goes Ozzy.
00:33:00And big back body drop on Medina.
00:33:02Well, you're saying Ozzy and Medina, but that's somebody on the outside, Riccoboni.
00:33:06He looked like a John Studd action figure.
00:33:08And this has hit a graduate of the Rhodes Wrestling Academy.
00:33:17Boom.
00:33:18And if you're trained by Dustin Rhodes, Caprice, you definitely know what's going on in the square circle.
00:33:25Dustin Rhodes is a big man himself, man.
00:33:27There's a lot of guys that get big guys and you don't know what to do with them.
00:33:30But if you're trained by Dustin Rhodes, he knows exactly what he's doing at Rhodes Family.
00:33:33There's a huge family there.
00:33:35And the Irish RIP and Truth opening the hand there, sending Ozzy in to hit.
00:33:44You know how Truth got in control by moving out of the way of hit.
00:33:47He didn't hit hit, he got out of the way of.
00:33:51Sometimes you stick and move and Dalton Castle goes right for Medina.
00:33:55And the T-bone there.
00:33:58I got to see this.
00:33:59I know it's possible though.
00:34:01I've seen him do it before.
00:34:04Big back baby, those hips are lower.
00:34:06You've got to put them right.
00:34:07Hips.
00:34:08And Castle.
00:34:13Yeah.
00:34:13A suplex for everyone and a triple body slam.
00:34:20Wait a minute.
00:34:24Wait just one second.
00:34:26Energy shifted, Rick Abadi.
00:34:28Don't give it to me, Danny.
00:34:30Yeah.
00:34:32Yeah.
00:34:33New son of a bitch.
00:34:36All right.
00:34:38Yeah.
00:34:40Don Castle salivating Rick Abadi.
00:34:42Bang a ring.
00:34:47Gotta do it Rick Abadi.
00:34:48I promise you that much.
00:34:50One, two, three.
00:34:52The winners of this match,
00:34:56Dalton Castle.
00:34:57He's the winner.
00:34:58And Dalton Castle has been to the top of the six-man tag team championship mountain before.
00:35:13I think they won a shot at Shane Taylor promotions, Caprice.
00:35:18Ain't do not that man.
00:35:19Dalton Castle's been on top of the six-man.
00:35:20He's been on top of the world.
00:35:22He's been on top of the planets as well.
00:35:24And we go to the women's pure champion.
00:35:26Tagging alongside Madison Rain and standing with her in her final match ever has meant more
00:35:33to me than I could ever put into words.
00:35:35But at the end of the night, she was right.
00:35:40I still have work to do.
00:35:42It's time to wipe the tears.
00:35:43It's time to start creating my legacy as the first ever reigning and defending Ring of Honor
00:35:50pure women's champion.
00:35:52So let me officially issue an open challenge to anyone, anywhere.
00:35:58Because I am a fighting champion by design.
00:36:01And in Ring of Honor, excellence is required.
00:36:05But becoming fluent in Perazzo, well, that's inevitable.
00:36:10Well, from the pure women's division to the men's side, we head to the proving ground.
00:36:17Is it magic?
00:36:18Where Papa Magie, it looks, to earn a title shot.
00:36:21Yeah.
00:36:22This is an honor wage, pure wrestling championship, proving ground match.
00:36:27Except for one fall, with a ten minute time limit.
00:36:30Approaching the ring.
00:36:32Russ got a bunch real.
00:36:33Going back, Canada.
00:36:35Weaning 204 pounds.
00:36:37Daddy magic!
00:36:39Everybody!
00:36:40No, no, no, no!
00:36:43Of daddy magic, Papa Magie.
00:36:46Oh, that's disgusting!
00:36:49Well, those guys from Montreal Capris, they're built different.
00:36:54They're cut from a different cloth.
00:36:57Daddy magic.
00:36:59And his first singles, pure rules match.
00:37:04Jumping right into the proving ground.
00:37:09By facing a man who's returning from Mexico.
00:37:12It's a party.
00:37:14Wrestling out of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
00:37:17Winning 191 pounds.
00:37:20He is representing Shane Taylor Promotions.
00:37:24And he's the ring of honor, pure wrestling champion, Taka Style, Lee Moriarty.
00:37:34Well, there you take a look at the proving ground challenger, Daddy Magic.
00:37:37But it is the champion.
00:37:39Lee Moriarty returning from Mexico after yet another tremendous bout against Shalwa.
00:37:46With the ROH pure championship on the line.
00:37:49To me, that is a budding rivalry that could define the pure championship for years to come.
00:37:57But Daddy Magic looking to insert himself into this division.
00:38:01His first singles pure bout.
00:38:04Tell you what, man, one thing that we are for sure of, that Lee Moriarty has taken that pure title across the world and brought it back every time.
00:38:12Proving to be the greatest pure wrestling champion Ring of Honor has ever had.
00:38:16Daddy Magic stepping into the pure territory against some great competition here.
00:38:23I think I know Daddy Magic's playing with your body.
00:38:26What's that?
00:38:27He wants to headline Global Wars.
00:38:30Wow, could you imagine that?
00:38:32Pure championship, the main event, Global Wars, Maple Leaf Pro.
00:38:36That could be something.
00:38:37You might not be wrong.
00:38:38I need some Canada, Ricoboni.
00:38:40Come on, man.
00:38:41That's in Windsor.
00:38:42Wait a minute.
00:38:43Montreal is like a different universe if you've ever been to Canada.
00:38:46I say that with...
00:38:47Yeah, you're right, you're right, you're right, you're right, you're right.
00:38:49I say that with all the love in the world.
00:38:50I love Montreal.
00:38:51Shout out to the great...
00:38:53He's a funny guy!
00:38:54Shout out to all the great poutine.
00:38:56Fans, if this is your first pure rules bout, there is a ten minute time limit.
00:39:01Should Daddy Magic go the distance, he would earn a pure title shot.
00:39:05Now, if he could defeat Lee Moriarty, he would also earn a pure title shot.
00:39:09Title not on the line, but a title shot is.
00:39:12For pure rules, you get three rope breaks.
00:39:14If you exhaust your rope breaks, you can be pinned or submitted in, on, underneath the ropes.
00:39:19Each competitor gets one close fist to the face.
00:39:22The second results in a disqualification.
00:39:24There's a 20 count on the outside.
00:39:27No judges in the pure rules proving ground bouts, unlike the regular pure rules bouts.
00:39:34Tell you what, man, Daddy Magic got a big fan of his, but I got to see him in this pure wrestling here.
00:39:43And right here, Moriarty being as smart as he is, he's trying to figure out what Matt has to offer here.
00:39:50And I don't know if Matt has a lot to dig in to figure this thing out.
00:39:54You can't figure out Moriarty while you're wrestling him.
00:39:58You have to come in with game plans.
00:40:00So I got to see what this test is going to bring out in Matt Menard.
00:40:05That's a great call, shoulder tackle there.
00:40:07I think the power of Matt Menard, who candidly has really been struggling finding his footing since Daniel Garcia joined the Death Riders.
00:40:14Daniel Garcia, former pure champion in his own right, was sort of a protege of Daddy Magic.
00:40:19He's someone that Daddy Magic took under his wing, really helped develop as a wrestler.
00:40:24And as Garcia joined the Death Riders, kind of disappointed, hurt Daddy Magic in his heart.
00:40:30Yeah, it's personal relationships in wrestling that hurt you because these young guys,
00:40:35you like the transitions that I'm talking about, man.
00:40:38You see young guys that you love, man, and you become part of them and then they get what they want out of you and they leave.
00:40:44That is rope break number one used by Matt Menard.
00:40:50That's a smart move by Moriarty.
00:40:53Come on.
00:40:54Easy.
00:40:55That's one.
00:40:56Can't bring a hold.
00:40:59You see right here that confusion on Matt Menard's face is what I'm talking about.
00:41:03That confusion when he grabbed that rope out of Sanctus to get himself out of that hole but not realizing the rules that went against him and that realization that he had in his face.
00:41:13It's the story that I'm telling here, Riccoboni.
00:41:16Absolutely.
00:41:17We saw that in the women's tournament, Caprice, where a lot of the women other than Deanna.
00:41:21Deanna did the smartest thing, in my opinion, where she wrestled a few pure exhibitions before heading into the tournament to get a better grasp of the rules.
00:41:29That's it.
00:41:30This octopus locked in.
00:41:32And that's the thing that Moriarty not even getting a grasp of the rules, but he studied pure wrestling his whole life.
00:41:37And that's the great thing with Perrazzo is knowing you have to get in here to get these reps going.
00:41:42If not, you have these matches where they say, hey, you got one arm behind your back.
00:41:46This is the pure wrestling rules if you don't know them.
00:41:49Look at this.
00:41:51And grabbing a hold of the wrist there.
00:41:54And it is Moriarty really wrenching it in.
00:41:58The pressure on that left shoulder now, in addition to the right abdomen.
00:42:02No!
00:42:03And Daddy Magic has to go to the ropes.
00:42:06He does.
00:42:07That is rope break number two, used by Matt Menard.
00:42:10Man, the only way I can explain these pure rules, Rickabine, is like when I was learning chess.
00:42:16Somebody's teaching you, and you do this move, and you think you've got them.
00:42:19That shot!
00:42:20Matt Menard has been issued a warning of the use of a close fist right to the face.
00:42:26Now, we've seen athletes do that on purpose to try and change the time of the match.
00:42:31You're right, though.
00:42:32Menard a little bit surprised that he got called for it.
00:42:34The rules are gonna get Matt Menard in this match.
00:42:37I love Matt Menard, but I'm telling you, you can't come into a pure title match with
00:42:41the champion learning the rules as you're going on.
00:42:44You're not gonna win that way.
00:42:46I love Matt Menard.
00:42:47He's one of my favorite wrestlers and one of my favorite commentators.
00:42:50You can't learn the pure rules against the pure champion.
00:42:53I'm gonna flip this on its head, though, Caprice.
00:42:56Matt Menard is very slowly, he's running down the clock a little bit.
00:43:01He's sticking and moving right now.
00:43:03And I mean, I know he's used two rope breaks, but if he can evade, which is easier said than done, Lee Moriarty.
00:43:10He's got a shot to go the ten minutes, which has been one of Moriarty's more difficult points.
00:43:16A great artist.
00:43:17He's gonna have his works on exhibition in St. Petersburg, Florida, the Museum of Fine Arts.
00:43:21He likes to paint a picture.
00:43:22He likes to use his time.
00:43:24If Menard can last- Two Ops time, five minutes, three minutes.
00:43:27See, there you go.
00:43:28Yeah.
00:43:29Menard can last five more minutes, he'll get a title shot.
00:43:31That's the way, that one way you're right, that proven ground, doesn't keep any champion safe.
00:43:37But this would be the only way that Matt Menard has a way of learning these rules.
00:43:43Give him that eye opening.
00:43:44You might be right, Riccoboni, if he lasts these ten minutes, he gets a shot at it.
00:43:48But I don't see him beating the champion in this match, Riccoboni.
00:43:51Well, Menard just needs to hang on to earn himself a shot.
00:43:57Certainly, Moriarty, the pendulum swung in his direction, but Menard using the brute force there.
00:44:04I think that brute force comes from that gum.
00:44:06When he had it on the ground, he picked it up, put it in his mouth.
00:44:09I know it had hair and all the type of stuff in it.
00:44:13It's the minerals in the gum that's got him still going.
00:44:15I promise you that's what it is.
00:44:17And the forearm so rattling Menard now.
00:44:21And into the clutch, it is Moriarty again, but Menard just trying to grab anything,
00:44:26trying to hold on to anything here.
00:44:28This is Menard in survival mode.
00:44:30It's like I said, man, it's like learning chess against somebody that plays it well.
00:44:35You're learning the rules as they come, and it's frustrating.
00:44:38But Menard has a lot of resilience.
00:44:42Daddy magic has a lot of fire, a lot of passion, and a lot of determination.
00:44:47All right, he's got to be careful so he doesn't accidentally unload that close fist here.
00:44:51Absolutely, sends him in.
00:44:53Nice elbow sided there.
00:44:55Champion back on his feet though, Riccoboni.
00:44:58And quick to his feet at that, Menard has the advantage here.
00:45:03He's got to change the game plan.
00:45:08Look at this, he does.
00:45:10Instead of the punches, delivering the elbows.
00:45:12That was smart.
00:45:13That's a lesson learned right there.
00:45:15Nice.
00:45:16Side rushing legs sweet.
00:45:18Running out of time too, Riccoboni.
00:45:20One.
00:45:21Two.
00:45:22And you got to think Moriarty's worn down from that instant classic against
00:45:26Shelwa in Mexico.
00:45:29Menard might have more of an advantage than we think here.
00:45:31Menard is showing me something here.
00:45:33Going for this busted crab.
00:45:35You see right here.
00:45:36Yes.
00:45:37Moriarty's blocking it.
00:45:38I have pretty stitched to that elbow.
00:45:40That's quick thinking off your feet.
00:45:42Now Irish whip, caught, rolled through.
00:45:47It's Moriarty back to his feet.
00:45:49Double leg takedown.
00:45:50Moriarty.
00:45:51And the move, tapped it.
00:45:53By Rick Martel.
00:45:54Yeah.
00:45:55A fellow came in the claw.
00:45:56Wait a second.
00:45:57Wait a second.
00:45:58It's the Montreal native.
00:45:59Prove me wrong with Nard.
00:46:00Prove me wrong.
00:46:01The Montreal native.
00:46:05Moriarty panicked.
00:46:07Moriarty has to go to the ropes.
00:46:09That is rope break number one used by Lee Moriarty.
00:46:13And Caprice, correct me if I'm wrong.
00:46:15You're not wrong.
00:46:16I don't believe Moriarty improving ground or championship bounce has gone to the ropes.
00:46:21Right.
00:46:22He's been before Rick Abani, but it's extremely rare.
00:46:27It's extremely rare.
00:46:28It's very rare.
00:46:30I mean, maybe once or twice, Menard making the champ go to the ropes.
00:46:33Roll up here, one, two.
00:46:34Menard proving to be a fast learner, but it may be too late.
00:46:38But it may be too late to learn this lesson, Rick Abani.
00:46:41That border city sports is hitting.
00:46:43Oh, that's it.
00:46:45The winner of this match, by submission, the ring of honor,
00:46:53pure wrestling champion, Lee Moriarty.
00:46:58Daddy Magic taking this bounce to about eight minutes.
00:47:02But you could see Moriarty found that next level.
00:47:06It's so rare that Moriarty has to go to the ropes.
00:47:10Daddy Magic forcing the rope break.
00:47:13And then we saw that next level, that next gear out of the pure champion.
00:47:19Champion since July 2020 for Caprice.
00:47:23I don't even think it's arguable anymore.
00:47:25I think the greatest pure champion of all time as we live and breathe, Lee Moriarty.
00:47:30Without a doubt.
00:47:31Oh, wait a minute.
00:47:32I would say without a doubt, but imagine Matt Menard actually learning the pure rules.
00:47:37He learned eight minutes, but this right here, this onslaught.
00:47:41Get up!
00:47:42Get up!
00:47:43Get up!
00:47:44Get up!
00:47:45Get up!
00:47:46Get up!
00:47:47Get up!
00:47:48Get up!
00:47:49Get up!
00:47:50Get up!
00:47:51Get up!
00:47:52Get up!
00:47:53That's Sky Flight!
00:47:54Sky Flight is here!
00:47:56And then listen to, you just hear, Sean Dean, why y'all always up in our business school.
00:48:02Let's go!
00:48:03Let's go!
00:48:04They are here!
00:48:05Please!
00:48:06Please!
00:48:07I dare you!
00:48:08Shane Taylor promotions, what?
00:48:10What do they wanna do without him magic?
00:48:12Moriarty won the match.
00:48:14Thank goodness for Sky Flight.
00:48:16There's that mystery woman, Caprice.
00:48:18Who is she?
00:48:19He's ready for you all day.
00:48:21Anytime.
00:48:22SDP is for Moriarty.
00:48:25Looks on in confusion.
00:48:27Hey, coming up next, Rachel Ellering and London Dior will have their hands full with
00:48:32Pulley Starks and Fiamonte.
00:48:33The training wheels are on for MIT.
00:48:40As we move to women's tag team action.
00:48:43This tag team action is set for one fall and it has a 20 minute time limit.
00:48:50Team number one, London Dior and Rachel Ellering.
00:48:58London Dior on the right, Rachel Ellering on the left.
00:49:05London Dior, a Fort Worth native just two years in.
00:49:11And teaming with Rachel Ellering, who every time we're down here, Caprice, especially when
00:49:17it's WNBA season.
00:49:18She's our hookup to the Dallas Wings.
00:49:21Gets us in on some WNBA action.
00:49:24Absolutely.
00:49:25She has the right connections.
00:49:28And the right pedigree, Riccoboni.
00:49:31And the right record, that big smile.
00:49:34And that smile's in jeopardy against these two.
00:49:37The reporting be accompanied by ROH Women's World Champion, Athena.
00:49:48The team of Billy Starks and Fiamonte.
00:49:54And I wonder, Caprice, did we misinterpret Athena's statement when she said she wanted to do it alone?
00:50:03Was that her saying that she wanted Global Wars, ROH Petroplex, to show that she has a hand in shaping the future of professional wrestling?
00:50:13Not just with Fiamonte on the right, Billy Starks on the left, but also across the professional wrestling world.
00:50:22Was something more sinister said that slipped under our radar?
00:50:27I'm not sure, Riccoboni.
00:50:29I think what Athena is now, if I'm reading it right, is she's trying to show the world that she can do it without anybody interfering.
00:50:37That she is legit the best women's wrestler in the world.
00:50:40And I can't disagree.
00:50:43A champion for over three years here in ROH.
00:50:49Now with Diamante, who you see in the ring.
00:50:52I honestly don't think she gets enough praise for what she's accomplished, Riccoboni.
00:50:56There's no champion around in wrestling that has as many days, has been champion with as many defenses.
00:51:03One?
00:51:04Oh, absolutely.
00:51:05Athena really, ooh!
00:51:06Days, one thing.
00:51:07Days may be arguable, but days in defenses, it's nowhere near matched.
00:51:12No, and main event, huge events across the world.
00:51:16Wow!
00:51:17Rachel Ellering, cover.
00:51:21And it is Ellering who's really found her footing here in ROH, becoming the star we knew she could be.
00:51:28Ellering is so powerful, man.
00:51:30The way that she grabbed Diamante and put her up in that fireless carry so fast.
00:51:34Two.
00:51:35One.
00:51:36And I think this is one.
00:51:37Shifting the weight.
00:51:38One.
00:51:39One, two.
00:51:40She's gotta get out of that.
00:51:41She's gotta get out of that, yeah.
00:51:42She's got no advantage of that.
00:51:43Especially with Diamante.
00:51:45She's able to shift her weight, but not able to hold it, and she can get herself trapped.
00:51:50Tag made, and a shot there from Billy Starks.
00:51:55Side headlock.
00:51:56Starks is not gonna be able to hold Rachel in this headlock.
00:52:00Rachel's too strong for this.
00:52:02Rachel!
00:52:03Rachel!
00:52:04Rachel!
00:52:05Rachel!
00:52:06Yeah, Ellering using that base there, into the wrist lock.
00:52:07And that's simple hip positioning.
00:52:09That's great footwork by Ellering that allowed her to grab that wrist and really put Billy Starks in trouble.
00:52:14And it's natural movement for Ellering.
00:52:18A lot of things that Ellering just does right, it's natural movement because it's inside of her.
00:52:22It's in her blood, Rickabani.
00:52:24Certainly is.
00:52:25Second generation star.
00:52:27Waistlocked there, around the world.
00:52:30Now misdirection may not be.
00:52:32Yeah, great tag.
00:52:33Swiping the leg out.
00:52:35Diamante, we're gonna see how strong Diamante is here.
00:52:38Oh, Diamante's very strong and aggressive.
00:52:44And relentless.
00:52:45Drop kick to the skull by the former and inaugural ROH Women's World Television Champion, Billy Starks.
00:52:52Tell you what, man, I don't know a better tag team partner for Billy Starks than Diamante.
00:52:56Someone that can hold that enforcing mentality to keep the ground dirty.
00:53:01And look at Ellering fighting back, driving through on those chops.
00:53:10And like a crack off the bat of the Texas Rangers just across the street at Globe Life.
00:53:15But it's Diamante, who's unloading here.
00:53:19They're having a hard time keeping Rachel off her feet, man.
00:53:22Rachel, once Rachel stands up, she's a threat, and Rachel's on her feet right now.
00:53:27That's a great point.
00:53:28Ellering withstanding a lot of punishment, though, and I just, I wonder how long is Diamante
00:53:34deliver for the drop kick?
00:53:35Man, that takes a lot out of you.
00:53:36Come on, Rachel!
00:53:37Look, the thing about Ellering is Ellering continues to go right back to her feet.
00:53:42One!
00:53:43Two!
00:53:44If she doesn't do anything else, she tries to stand up.
00:53:46Out of everything she does, she's constantly trying to get back to her feet.
00:53:50I'm gonna pull a deep cut here, Caprice.
00:53:52When you teamed with Tadarius Thomas for a little bit, he was a newer wrestler in ROH.
00:53:58Yeah.
00:53:59I mean, does Ellering trust London Dior yet?
00:54:02Just two years in, is that why maybe she hasn't gone for the tag?
00:54:05Maybe just trying to see things through against two great stars like Billy Starks and Diamante.
00:54:10Well, I don't know if she's not going to the tag out of choice, or because she can't,
00:54:14because with Billy Starks and Diamante, they are cutting the ring off.
00:54:17You saw Rachel reaching out for that tag.
00:54:19So I do feel that Rachel wants me to take the tag.
00:54:23Just can't make it right now.
00:54:24She's using her strength to hold on to the ropes, not to be sent off.
00:54:27But another tag was made.
00:54:28This will be a double shoot off.
00:54:30And off the ropes.
00:54:32Ellering busts right through.
00:54:33And it's Ellering again.
00:54:35And a big of a pole fly.
00:54:39There you go.
00:54:40That double holding on to the ropes gave Rachel enough time to recover.
00:54:44Now we getting that London.
00:54:47And tag is made.
00:54:49London Dior is in.
00:54:51Her ROH debut, we've seen her on collision.
00:54:55Whoa, Fort Worth Native with the back fist there.
00:54:58Big right across the jump, Diamante.
00:55:01Into the corner.
00:55:02And London Dior, look at the athleticism.
00:55:05Oh, Billy Starks puts an end to that.
00:55:09Yeah, that bridge is coming down, Riccoboni.
00:55:11Whoa, wait a minute.
00:55:13Tag is made.
00:55:15Dior down, Starks down, Diamante, the last woman standing.
00:55:20My goodness.
00:55:22Spine buster by Diamante.
00:55:24Setting up for this star splash, Riccoboni.
00:55:27Get ready to call it.
00:55:28And beautiful.
00:55:30Swan dive.
00:55:32And Starks to the outside gets Ellering.
00:55:35Diamante, what is this?
00:55:38Wrenching that at the ankle.
00:55:40That's the ankle.
00:55:41Oh, that is the ankle.
00:55:42Look at that.
00:55:43Wow.
00:55:44Winners for this match by submission, Diamante and Billy Starks.
00:55:53Riccoboni.
00:55:54Inside ankle lock.
00:55:55Duck.
00:55:56Oh.
00:55:57Oh.
00:56:00And a new submission that we have not yet seen here in ROH from Diamante, that inside ankle lock.
00:56:10That's a move she could get on anybody, Caprice.
00:56:14Yeah.
00:56:15Anybody who has said Diamante is David.
00:56:18It's a great tag team partner for Philly Starks.
00:56:21Ah!
00:56:22MIT, baby.
00:56:23And MIT will be in full force on Global Wars ROH Metroplex.
00:56:29I can't wait to see what Athena, the Forever Champion, and Tony Khan have in store.
00:56:34Maybe the tag team we need and deserve.
00:56:41Speaking of tag teams, you want to talk about championship contenders?
00:56:44Look no further.
00:56:45And these two right here, the bounty hunter Brian Keith and Big Bill.
00:56:49Aha!
00:56:50And here they come.
00:56:59What an opposing team these two men make.
00:57:03You see them tuck.
00:57:06This tag team match is set for one fall in a 20 minute time limit.
00:57:10Team number one in a combined weight of 503 pounds.
00:57:15The bounty hunter Brian Keith and Big Bill.
00:57:24What a team these two make.
00:57:26We go back to Bobby Cruz.
00:57:28Their opponents, the team of KM and Will Allday.
00:57:32Okay.
00:57:33A favorite of our friend, good ol' JR, KM in the house.
00:57:37Teaming with Will Allday, who has had some great showings as of late in ROH.
00:57:42Yep.
00:57:43Big man, too.
00:57:44It's a great matchup.
00:57:45Almost even here.
00:57:46It's rare to see anybody could almost stand as big as Bill.
00:57:51Well, that's going to be the interesting part.
00:57:54Big Bill, who has really made the most of his size.
00:57:59You know, we've talked a lot about Blake Christian.
00:58:03Most improved wrestler of 2025.
00:58:08Lee Johnson in that category.
00:58:10Big Bill made that leap a year or two ago Caprice.
00:58:13And when he combines the experience he has with his size.
00:58:17Yeah.
00:58:18Big Bill is on another level.
00:58:21These former basketball players that turn wrestlers are probably the most dangerous athletes ever.
00:58:27Because they have the size and the balance.
00:58:30And that size and balance, knowing what you're doing with it, is an extreme advantage anywhere you go.
00:58:36Watch this.
00:58:37This is my favorite part, man.
00:58:38He's going to take this cape off.
00:58:42Oh, come on, man.
00:58:43That's not what I was expecting.
00:58:44I was expecting the twirl that I got Yostimity Sam.
00:58:47That donut.
00:58:48And unloading those direct chops from Brian Keith.
00:58:55Ooh.
00:58:56It was maybe Texas' best kept secret until he burst onto the scene.
00:59:00You remember Caprice.
00:59:01He won a qualifying match for survival of the finish.
00:59:04It was the sixth entry.
00:59:07Won that bout.
00:59:08Went on.
00:59:09Had a great showing at final battle a couple of years ago as all day.
00:59:12Whoa.
00:59:13Nice snap there.
00:59:14Whoa!
00:59:15Yeah, that was a snapmare off the ropes.
00:59:18It takes some great timing to do.
00:59:20And all day!
00:59:25And we talked about Big Bill's athletic accomplishments.
00:59:29Former wide receiver at Rice University.
00:59:32Will all day.
00:59:33Yeah, will all day, man.
00:59:35Some great movement here.
00:59:36A lot of speed and precision.
00:59:38All day, baby!
00:59:39Noxie sets with a drop down.
00:59:40He's caught in the best position, especially by Brian Keith,
00:59:44who's a great suplex wrestler.
00:59:46And sending all day into the corner.
00:59:49And we are seeing the massive K.M.
00:59:53Kevin Matthews.
00:59:54I wanna see the two big men go at it with your body.
00:59:56And K.M.
01:00:01Who is, ooh.
01:00:02Long time.
01:00:03Whoa!
01:00:04Come on!
01:00:05There you go.
01:00:06Independence star.
01:00:07Come on!
01:00:08Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
01:00:10Wait a minute.
01:00:11And we've talked about K.M.
01:00:16What, 6'8", 6'9", Caprice?
01:00:18Yeah.
01:00:19Wait till you see this.
01:00:23My goodness.
01:00:24Two behemoths.
01:00:25Big Bill with a few inches on K.M.
01:00:28One, two, three, two, one.
01:00:31Ooh!
01:00:32Yeah.
01:00:33Should've took off.
01:00:35Whoa!
01:00:36Just staying there.
01:00:37That balance of Big Bill is always gonna get you.
01:00:39You got this, you got this, you got this.
01:00:40Now K.M's a big man, but he has to get to his feet.
01:00:43Bill, Bill, Bill, Bill!
01:00:45All right, now K.M into the corner, the Ole, Big Bill, misses the splash.
01:00:50K.M. charging in.
01:00:52Okay, what's up?
01:00:53Okay, K.M.
01:00:54Ah!
01:00:55Yeah!
01:00:56Got Elemental P right there.
01:01:00And all day up to the top.
01:01:03Oh!
01:01:04I see what he did there.
01:01:09Lace up to Tims!
01:01:11Uh-oh, lace up to Tims.
01:01:13Wow, I see what Big Bill...
01:01:19And Brian Keith did, and...
01:01:22Was that a feeding of the mind?
01:01:23What a feeding of the mind?
01:01:25Wow, and look at this huge bear hug!
01:01:28Just swinging a 200-plus pound man like a ragdoll!
01:01:33No way!
01:01:34One, two, three!
01:01:36That's it!
01:01:40The winners of this match, Big Bill and Brian Keith!
01:01:47And if you're LFI right now, if you're the World Tag Team Champions,
01:01:50you've seen Crew, Busta and the Brain, Billington and Priest, the Premier Athletes, that Big Bill.
01:01:56And Brian Keith, you've got to be wondering what's next as the champs.
01:02:00Thanks.
01:02:01But we know what's next here tonight.
01:02:04It's the main event, Johnny TV!
01:02:07Takes on the high-flying, death-defying Ace Austin of the Bang Bang Gang!
01:02:14Two masters of agility and high-flying go one-on-one!
01:02:18And that's coming up next.
01:02:20Get your cameras out, folks!
01:02:24This man and woman are made for TV!
01:02:27This match is set for one for all day, 20-minute time limit.
01:02:30Introducing first, being accompanied by Tyra Valkyrie.
01:02:34Wrestling in Los Angeles, California, weighing 214 pounds,
01:02:39he's representing MXM TV, JTV!
01:02:46Somebody's gonna wake up dead!
01:02:49A Johnny TV.
01:02:51Wake up dead.
01:02:53Well, you know, Johnny TV is chiseled.
01:02:56He's one of the most agile stars we've ever seen, one of the best dress wrestlers we've ever seen.
01:03:00But sometimes I question what comes out of his mouth, Caprice.
01:03:03There's some people that do wake up dead.
01:03:05They wake up and they realize that they died and they're in another dimension where you find that's a fact.
01:03:12Well, thankfully, Johnny TV is in our dimension with a woman who has called out Red Velvet,
01:03:16the Ring of Honor Women's World Television Champion in Tyra Valkyrie.
01:03:22Johnny TV would like to insert himself on the men's side, but to do so, he'd have to beat this man.
01:03:27His opponent, resident of Atlantic City, New Jersey, weighing 210 pounds.
01:03:34He's representing the Bang Bang Game, Ace Austin!
01:03:41Talk about title contenders.
01:03:44The minute Ace Austin, first on the scene back in final battle, defeated Lee Johnson.
01:03:52But he wasn't done Caprice, he immediately called out the most wanted.
01:03:56We know Blake Christian took offense to that.
01:03:59But ever since, undefeated at ROH, 3-0, Ace Austin.
01:04:03It's one thing to call out your shots, but it's another thing to hit all of your targets.
01:04:07And that's exactly what Ace Austin has done since he's been in Ring of Honor.
01:04:10What a great main event we have signed for this week here in ROH.
01:04:18You see the vivacious Tyra Valkyrie there.
01:04:21It's gonna be a great matchup, man.
01:04:26Two athletic guys.
01:04:28I like that!
01:04:29The veteran, Johnny TV.
01:04:31Let's go!
01:04:32Let's go!
01:04:33Let's go!
01:04:34Let's go!
01:04:35Let's go!
01:04:36Let's go!
01:04:37Let's go!
01:04:38Let's go!
01:04:39Let's go!
01:04:40Let's go!
01:04:41Got a fire against the big ones, man.
01:04:42This is a great matchup.
01:04:43I can't call a winner in this one with the body.
01:04:46Yeah, this is what Ring of Honor was built on.
01:04:50Some great established stars still at the peak of their careers.
01:04:53Athletes on the rise like Ace Austin.
01:04:56I know who's gonna win.
01:04:58Who's that?
01:04:59We are.
01:05:00We get a call this thing.
01:05:01That's right.
01:05:02As Johnny TV looking for the slam up and over Ace Austin.
01:05:07Weights lock here but swinging out, standing switch from Johnny TV.
01:05:11Austin has a weird low center gravity balance, man, with those thighs being as
01:05:17agile as he is with that crown, yeah.
01:05:20With those thighs, there's a lot of power inside of that, man.
01:05:23Yeah.
01:05:24Johnny TV felt that drop kick.
01:05:26It's like getting shot with a horse, man.
01:05:29Like a hydraulic drop kick.
01:05:30Those legs are powerful.
01:05:31I gotta wonder, Saquon Barkley from nearby Whitehall, Pennsylvania,
01:05:36where near where I'm from.
01:05:37Ace Austin spent a lot of time in Allentown, my hometown.
01:05:41Both men known as Quadzilla.
01:05:43Ooh, don't.
01:05:44And that's music high as a human shield.
01:05:47I don't have quads like that.
01:05:48Watch this, watch this.
01:05:49Whoa!
01:05:50That step right there on the back of the neck right there.
01:05:52That has Austin in a lot of trouble.
01:05:54And if you wanna get control of the match, you get control of the match by putting it back in fast.
01:05:59And this is where things can turn.
01:06:05The movements in the margins, Caprice, taking advantage of those microseconds on the outside.
01:06:10Taya, boots to Ace Austin.
01:06:12I tell you what, man.
01:06:13Taya's not just a manager.
01:06:14Taya is a wrestler.
01:06:15Taya is an athlete.
01:06:16Taya is an athlete.
01:06:17Those boots hurt.
01:06:18That's a nice kiss too, man.
01:06:19I'm jealous.
01:06:20Valentine's Day around the corner.
01:06:25Rapidly approaching.
01:06:26I guess celebrating a little early here on ROH.
01:06:29They ain't celebrating a little early.
01:06:30They husband and wife rick a body.
01:06:32Good world.
01:06:33Nothing wrong with that.
01:06:34If I could travel with my wife, oh, I tell you what.
01:06:37Yeah, well, the world needs more love.
01:06:39And I'm glad we're seeing just a glimpse of it here on ROH.
01:06:42There you go.
01:06:44And Johnny TV.
01:06:46Oh!
01:06:47A little too much time allows Austin.
01:06:49One, two, into the bridge.
01:06:50Look at the bridge by Johnny TV.
01:06:52Austin flipped over right way.
01:06:53He flipped over too high.
01:06:54Chest to chest with Johnny TV.
01:06:57And a drop out into the choke by Johnny TV.
01:07:02Great move there.
01:07:03Giant TV has so many downwards he could pull from.
01:07:07He's traveled so many countries.
01:07:09Picked up so many things right here with his trap.
01:07:11He's cutting the oxygen off.
01:07:13The air flow.
01:07:14Trying to make it hard for Ace to breathe.
01:07:16And now on the back.
01:07:17It's hard for him to breathe and put pressure on his back.
01:07:20You're gonna see Austin's face turn red, Riccobani.
01:07:23This straight jacket really locked in.
01:07:26You're absolutely right.
01:07:27I mean, this is the man that you've wrestled in K-tar, Caprice.
01:07:30Absolutely.
01:07:31The over 1600 professional bounce for Johnny TV.
01:07:35Into the corner.
01:07:36Come on.
01:07:38Johnny TV is somebody that's always in control of every part of his body.
01:07:43He's an elite functional athlete.
01:07:46He doesn't lift weights.
01:07:47He does everything with his body.
01:07:49The pushups and the plyometrics and everything like that.
01:07:52That's how he's got that body.
01:07:54And it's Ace Austin taking advantage of the mistimed movement.
01:07:58Side brush and leg sweep there.
01:07:59Austin big time leg drop.
01:08:03Quadzilla those suffocating hamstrings across the nose and mouth there.
01:08:10Those quads gotta be 40 inches.
01:08:12Give me some.
01:08:14He's gotta buy special pants for those.
01:08:16Look at that.
01:08:17Delivering the clotheslines in the corner.
01:08:20Yeah.
01:08:22Ace Austin's tailor makes a lot of money.
01:08:24I'll tell you what, you're right, Riccoboni.
01:08:26But Ace Austin wears a lot of athletic wear because of that.
01:08:29You're absolutely right.
01:08:30You can't wear jeans.
01:08:31He busts right through them.
01:08:32And one.
01:08:35Dr. Balm.
01:08:36Two.
01:08:37And tie of Valkyrie.
01:08:41I thought Ace Austin had a pair of skinny leg jeans on, but he had baggy pants.
01:08:48And Austin, we're seeing the fruits of his labor with those kits.
01:08:54That Dr. Balm out of nowhere.
01:08:56Valkyrie inserting herself here.
01:08:59Yeah, that second distraction gives Johnny TV time to recover.
01:09:03Up on the shoulders of TV is a bad thing, Riccoboni.
01:09:06That backflip and watch this ascension to the top.
01:09:08Go fast.
01:09:09Uh-oh.
01:09:10And here comes the landing.
01:09:14Starship counter.
01:09:15Starship peep one, two.
01:09:18Took a lot of time between that though.
01:09:20He certainly did.
01:09:21Allowed Austin to grab a hold of TV.
01:09:24As TV collides with the turnbuckle there.
01:09:27A springboard kick going home.
01:09:29It's TV.
01:09:30Kickoff is on.
01:09:33Catches Austin.
01:09:35Wow.
01:09:36That knee right to the face, maybe to the mouth.
01:09:39He's gonna try it again.
01:09:40Starship peep on the way.
01:09:42Starship.
01:09:44No one home.
01:09:45Crash landing.
01:09:47He's in a lot of pain.
01:09:48And Taya trying to get the adrenaline going again for Johnny TV.
01:09:55But it is engaging these great fans here at Arlington.
01:09:59Who I believe are supporting Ace Austin right now.
01:10:02Absolutely, but that support that's close to the ring means a lot to Johnny TV.
01:10:08Austin on his feet, but not all the way on his feet.
01:10:11Johnny TV has more of a balanced statement than Austin who's leading the ropes to stand up right now.
01:10:17Come on, man.
01:10:18That's a great call.
01:10:19Shot to the midsection though.
01:10:21And Ace Austin fighting back.
01:10:23I have yet to see Austin stay all the way up.
01:10:27Now he's barely all the way up, Rickobine.
01:10:29Now he's up.
01:10:30That's a good point.
01:10:31Hunched over.
01:10:32I mean, the damage is done, but he's got TV rattled a little bit here.
01:10:37TV needing the ropes now.
01:10:39Irish whip.
01:10:40Off the ropes.
01:10:43Countered.
01:10:44Whoa.
01:10:45Wow.
01:10:46Midsection there.
01:10:49Some insane balance by Austin here.
01:10:51Come on, Taya again.
01:10:55And like you said, Caprice, not just a manager.
01:10:57She's a top challenger for the Women's World TV title.
01:11:00I'll tell you what, man.
01:11:01It's not even long distractions.
01:11:02It's just a split second distractions.
01:11:04Just turning your eye over there gives Johnny TV enough time to get in control.
01:11:09What is Johnny TV trying to do here?
01:11:11And control he has right now.
01:11:14TV with Austin in danger.
01:11:16And Austin firing down with those triceps, the elbows, to the skull of TV.
01:11:24That shot to the back of the head has TV trapped on the top rope.
01:11:28Austin backing up for momentum.
01:11:30Johnny, no.
01:11:31Whoa.
01:11:33And the river.
01:11:36And now the fold.
01:11:39Leg hook to that's it.
01:11:42The winner of this match, Ace Austin.
01:11:50Ace Austin makes Johnny TV feel the river of the turn and then the fold.
01:11:56A great victory at our main event this week for the member of the Bang Bang Gang.
01:12:02And we'll be seeing one member of the Bang Bang Gang this Saturday.
01:12:05Ace is out through the weather.
01:12:07So Austin comes with Billy Gunn against Proto Sheila.
01:12:11It's for Bobby Cruz, Kapris Coleman, Amin Rick Abani.
01:12:14Happy wrestling everybody.
01:12:15You
01:12:16You
