00:00:00Maya, Haiyan, did you all forget who's show this is?
00:00:10Before you became all elite,
00:00:15you were part of my Metroplex wrestling minions.
00:00:21The good Athena has brought you into this world.
00:00:26And it will be my responsibility to take you both out of mine.
00:00:32At ROH, MPX Global Wars,
00:00:37it'll be me and the true minions of Ring of Honor
00:00:44versus you two and whatever broke-ass porcelain hussy is in the back.
00:00:52Who better than the virtuosa Deanna Purrazzo?
00:01:03Welcome, everyone, to ROH Global Wars Metroplex.
00:01:06Ian Rigobotti Capri's come with the stars of ROH and Metroplex
00:01:09to battle, including in her six-woman main event here tonight.
00:01:13Absolutely, but Lee Moriarty has been calling his own shots lately,
00:01:17but he may need some advice.
00:01:18He's going against the best-kept secret in Texas, Exodus Prime.
00:01:24And history will be made.
00:01:25This week is the Fleet Footed Exciting Lightning Fest to Lynn Cavins.
00:01:28The MPX champion will defend his title against J.D. Griffey.
00:01:33Not only that, Rigobotti, the MPX women's title is on the line,
00:01:37and the champion is Abaddon.
00:01:39The living dead girl is here facing Rae Lynn.
00:01:44That is not all tonight.
00:01:45The ROH women's television title enters the proving ground
00:01:49as two-time and current champion Red Velvet puts her stakes up against her fixings.
00:01:54STP is ROH.
00:01:56Shane Taylor Promotions takes on the best of the best of MPX.
00:02:00And that is coming up, Rest Athletes, the top wrestling stars,
00:02:08being developed right here in Metroplex.
00:02:11This is a mixed eight-person tag team match,
00:02:20except for one ball with a 20-minute time limit.
00:02:23Team number one, the team of Reefs on clock,
00:02:27L, B, J, Curry, Guy Wright, and Demo Diamond.
00:02:35Of all four of these stars here tonight, Caprice,
00:02:38they have held gold in MPX.
00:02:41And most of these names familiar to ROH fans.
00:02:45You see Reefs and Clark lead in the way.
00:02:47We've seen her on ROH.
00:02:50And it is a great showing of athletes here,
00:02:53of young stars that are really taken to DSW by storm.
00:02:57Absolutely.
00:02:58Reefs and Clark, and Demo Diamond's the big people, man.
00:03:01Yeah.
00:03:03Some big athletes ready to step up to the plate.
00:03:07FPX, the best and only weekly wrestling show in Texas with talent from across the world.
00:03:13You can stream live or be there live.
00:03:15And that has gotten the stars ready for a match-up, a collision against these four athletes.
00:03:23Their opponents be accompanied by Anthony Ogogo and Christian Axel.
00:03:32They are representing Shane Taylor Promotions.
00:03:36The team of Trish Adora and the Ring of Honor World Sixth and a Half Team Champions.
00:03:44The Infantry and Shane Taylor.
00:03:48What a unit represented here by Shane Taylor Promotions.
00:03:54The ranks growing even stronger as Christian XO, the mystery woman.
00:04:00And Carly Bravo, he's a...
00:04:03I think he's got Captain Shawn Dean a little jealous, maybe, giving Christian XO a little attention.
00:04:08Well, sometimes when you add a little boy's sugar to the Kool-Aid,
00:04:11you can't get mad for the sweet Ricker body.
00:04:13Well, that's a fine way of putting that.
00:04:18It's like the great Mark Lorenz saying, if I had a swing set like that at home, I would never leave the house.
00:04:23But it's Shane Taylor Promotions taking on this MPX Dream Team here tonight.
00:04:32Look at Anthony Ogogo, Olympic boxer.
00:04:34How bad do you got to be?
00:04:36And I mean bad in the good way, Caprice.
00:04:38You taught me that.
00:04:39Yeah.
00:04:39To have a man like Anthony Ogogo just on the outside keeping track of things.
00:04:43On the outside, man, an Olympic bronze medalist.
00:04:46Yeah.
00:04:47Everybody in Shane Taylor Promotions has done something great, man.
00:04:51You have three military...
00:04:54With the military experience, you have two inner city kids that came out of greatness,
00:04:58an artist, and a bronze medalist is like...
00:05:02Yeah.
00:05:02Military police, Marine.
00:05:05Quit playing with me, man.
00:05:06Oh.
00:05:08And we're going to start things off.
00:05:10This is Carly Bravo.
00:05:12Shut up.
00:05:13Shut up.
00:05:14Shut up.
00:05:15Shut up.
00:05:16And I believe this is Karajai Wright, Caprice.
00:05:20Karna Botaya.
00:05:21Yeah.
00:05:22Ooh.
00:05:23What are we talking about?
00:05:24What are we talking about?
00:05:25What are we talking about?
00:05:25What are we talking about?
00:05:26What are we talking about?
00:05:27What are we talking about?
00:05:28And, of course, MPX Wrestling has two huge events coming up, including the Texas Rumble
00:05:34this Saturday in Fort Worth, and who runs the World 3 next month.
00:05:38Go to mpxwrestling.com for more information.
00:05:40But the next huge event on the AEW calendar is coming our way.
00:05:45That is AEW Revolution, Los Angeles, California, Crypto.com, Arena Live, Sunday, March 15th,
00:05:51on HBO Max.
00:05:52Tickets available now.
00:05:53They are moving fast, much like all AEW events.
00:05:56AEWTIX.com.
00:05:57Absolutely, man.
00:05:59So much happening around the world with AEW, with Ring of Honor, even here at the Metroplex.
00:06:04Yeah.
00:06:05We had two great wrestlers in the ring, Carly Bravo, the Marine of Shane Taylor's promotion,
00:06:11having a filling out process here.
00:06:13Ooh.
00:06:14Nice misdirection.
00:06:15Shoulder tackle.
00:06:16The size advantage there from Mr. Wright, who comes in, connects with the right, with
00:06:26the right in the clothesline in the corner, and now keeping Carly in the neutral corner.
00:06:31The Irish will reverse, though, by one-third of the world's six-man tag team champions here
00:06:35in ROH.
00:06:36What in the world?
00:06:37Oh, wow.
00:06:38That's some fleet-footedness there.
00:06:40Trying to break the ankles of Carly and talk for Carly crossover.
00:06:44What do you think this was?
00:06:45STP, understand?
00:06:46And it was a good start for Kari Jai Wright, but STP has turned the tables.
00:06:53What would it mean, as a tag is made, for any of these Metroplex stars to pick up a victory
00:06:59here tonight, some of these cross-promotional matches?
00:07:01It would be an instant upset, but in Athena's eyes, it's what they're supposed to do.
00:07:06I would hate to be on the losing end of any of these matches, Rick Abani.
00:07:12And now we see LVJ going toe-to-toe with the Captain Sean Dean.
00:07:18And you're absolutely right.
00:07:19Athena has set the expectations.
00:07:21Ooh!
00:07:22As Captain Sean Dean unloading, Metroplex, of course, founded almost 16 years ago with
00:07:27countless wrestlers walking through its doors, blood, sweat, and tears.
00:07:30But five years ago, the then owner was looking for a change.
00:07:34Enter Athena.
00:07:35Talk about high expectations.
00:07:36Caprice now continuing the legacy.
00:07:38Okay.
00:07:39Along with her husband, Matt Palmer, as owner and head coach.
00:07:41MPX certainly has flourished.
00:07:43Come on!
00:07:45Come on, Cap!
00:07:46Ooh!
00:07:47Come on, Cap!
00:07:48And right now, that's right there.
00:07:51That's that disrespect that sometimes you don't have to do to get an instant notch change
00:07:56from a wrestler.
00:07:57And once you get quite a second anticipating the leapfrog, then LVJ has to hook in.
00:08:04Need to the sternum.
00:08:06And he's got the captain real and LVJ well put together.
00:08:11And the tag is made and comes Trisha Doris.
00:08:14Stephon Smith is saying that Risa Clark has to come in.
00:08:19Oh!
00:08:20And we're going at it now.
00:08:22Right there.
00:08:23You see that Trisha Doris ducking the hugeness of Risa Clark.
00:08:29Getting out of the way.
00:08:30Staying out of her face.
00:08:32Taking her right down.
00:08:33And that's what you have to do, man.
00:08:34They come in here with a mission, with a game plan, with a strategy.
00:08:39The Shane Taylor promotion!
00:08:41Risa Clark is such a force to be reckoned with.
00:08:46Powerhouse indeed.
00:08:47Tag made back in.
00:08:50And oh!
00:08:51Adora following right into the corner for the first time legally.
00:08:55It is Shane Taylor.
00:08:56Wait a minute, quick tags.
00:08:57Take that back.
00:08:59And...
00:09:00Taylor!
00:09:02Shane Taylor has enough force by himself to be sitting in by two more people.
00:09:06This adds to it.
00:09:07Great tag team work here.
00:09:08I don't think it's over.
00:09:10Here comes the distance camera on me!
00:09:13B!
00:09:14B!
00:09:15C!
00:09:16Oh!
00:09:17No!
00:09:18BBC!
00:09:20Broncos busting!
00:09:21That's absolutely disgusting!
00:09:22That's gross!
00:09:23Cap!
00:09:24Cap, that's right.
00:09:26Which I thought it meant something different.
00:09:27I thought it was British Broadcasting Corporation.
00:09:29Of course, Riccoboni!
00:09:31Oh!
00:09:32Into the corner!
00:09:33But remember, cap don't cap Riccoboni!
00:09:34No!
00:09:35It's the oil slot right here!
00:09:36Oh jeez!
00:09:37You see the shots in the midst of...
00:09:38Even Trisha Dora, the point of that boot into the spine!
00:09:41She's in the match, ain't she?
00:09:43Well, eh?
00:09:44Making the most out of the situation.
00:09:46That shows you how seriously these always athlete champions are taking the stars of MPX.
00:09:51Because to Athena's credit, running one of the most popular independent companies in the
00:09:57world with some of the best athletes.
00:09:59Oh!
00:10:00No!
00:10:01Now that's...
00:10:02Caprice, you gotta get it!
00:10:03Yeah, now that was outside interference.
00:10:05Christian Nexo with five fingers to the face.
00:10:10They said slap into the corner now.
00:10:14And it is Taylor again.
00:10:16Ooh!
00:10:17Here they're going right to the midsection, man.
00:10:20And holding your head down, making you think about it.
00:10:22Listen to this.
00:10:23Wow!
00:10:25Is this camera on me?
00:10:27That's a man!
00:10:28That's a man!
00:10:29That's a man right there!
00:10:30A man's man!
00:10:31Oh!
00:10:32I bet you three car alarms went off and that chop happened.
00:10:35Tag man, as we learned from James Brown, this is a man's world.
00:10:38Oh!
00:10:39Get him!
00:10:41As the captain step over half crab.
00:10:45He's really been cinching this inland in Caprice.
00:10:47Absolutely.
00:10:48And it works.
00:10:49Mantan right there at the quad, the lower back.
00:10:53Keeps you from going anywhere.
00:10:56You feel like you can escape, but you can't.
00:10:58James Brown just sinks in more.
00:11:00Oh!
00:11:01And right there holding on.
00:11:02What are you talking about?
00:11:03What are you talking about?
00:11:04What are you talking about?
00:11:05What are you talking about?
00:11:06Risa deploys the same move.
00:11:10Oh!
00:11:11Oh!
00:11:12Oh!
00:11:13Oh!
00:11:14And the point of the boots of the face tag is made!
00:11:17Risa Clark in!
00:11:18Trisha Douras!
00:11:19Oh!
00:11:20Oh!
00:11:21There you go!
00:11:22Double abs!
00:11:23And this imposing, impressive figure in Risa Clark!
00:11:29Risa Clark, she just cleared the corner full of men, Riccoboni, of the six-man tag champs!
00:11:36Oh!
00:11:37Oh!
00:11:38Again!
00:11:39Oh!
00:11:40Oh!
00:11:41Oh!
00:11:42Oh!
00:11:43The largest muscle in the human body, across the face of Trisha Douras, who gets sent down!
00:11:49Side slam!
00:11:50Two!
00:11:51Oh!
00:11:52My goodness, what goes up must come down!
00:11:55And Risa Clark behind with that momentum that had to hurt Trisha Douras.
00:11:59She's picking Trisha Douras up again!
00:12:01Let's go Risa!
00:12:03Oh!
00:12:04Oh my goodness!
00:12:05The power of Adora!
00:12:07But she has no idea!
00:12:08Wait a second!
00:12:09Has no idea!
00:12:11Side of suplex!
00:12:13Spikes Adora!
00:12:14Who's fighting through Adora!
00:12:16Oh!
00:12:17Look at this!
00:12:18Oh!
00:12:19Wait a minute!
00:12:20The infantry!
00:12:21Oh!
00:12:22My goodness!
00:12:23Right there on the jaw!
00:12:24That could be a knockout blow!
00:12:25That kick landed on the jaw!
00:12:26That's Clark down!
00:12:28Clark down!
00:12:29He's throwing the tag!
00:12:31Lariat!
00:12:32Hubman!
00:12:33Knockout blow!
00:12:34One!
00:12:35Two!
00:12:36That's it!
00:12:37Who is in this match?
00:12:42She's Taylor Promotions!
00:12:46And in Black History Month, Trisha Douras personal salute.
00:12:50To one of the greatest Americans that we've ever known!
00:12:54Harriet Tubman!
00:12:55The Lariat Tubman picks up the victory for STP!
00:13:00Wow!
00:13:01It's calling!
00:13:02A driving force from within!
00:13:04Pushing!
00:13:05Beating!
00:13:06Rising to the surface!
00:13:07The time has come!
00:13:08To let it out!
00:13:09And ignite the flame that sparks revolution!
00:13:10AEW Revolution!
00:13:11Live Sunday March 15th from Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles!
00:13:14Tickets on sale now at AEWTIS.com!
00:13:15Revolution gonna be a happening!
00:13:16We head to the Proving Ground next!
00:13:17This is an ROH Women's World Television Championship Proving Ground Match!
00:13:18It is set for one fall!
00:13:19But it's a great match!
00:13:20It is set for one fall!
00:13:21We head to the Proving Ground next!
00:13:22This is an ROH Women's World Television Championship Proving Ground Match!
00:13:23It is set for one fall!
00:13:24With a 10 minute time limit!
00:13:25Approaching the ring!
00:13:26Wrestling on the Reigns!
00:13:27We head to the Proving Ground next!
00:13:28This is an ROH Women's World Television Championship Proving Ground Match!
00:13:32It's set for one fall!
00:13:37With a 10 minute time limit!
00:13:39This is an ROH Women's World Television Championship Proving Ground match.
00:13:46It is set for one ball with a 10-minute time limit.
00:13:48Approaching the ring, wrestling on a group by California, Burt Vixen.
00:13:55Caprice, we've seen Burt Vixen in ROH.
00:13:59Just last week, taking it to the world champion, Athena.
00:14:04And I'm going to tell a little story.
00:14:05This is a current champion in Ring of Honor, who entered the Proving Ground a number of times.
00:14:10Kept knocking down that door.
00:14:12Finally, she opened the door to the kitchen, now with gold around her waist.
00:14:17Her opponent, wrestling from strength on the Armada's Kitchen.
00:14:21She is the Ring of Honor Women's World Television Champion, Red Velvet.
00:14:32Caprice, you've got to make a call, don't you?
00:14:34Yeah, I've got to call my mama.
00:14:38Somebody better call your mama.
00:14:40As Red Velvet in the house, the ROH Women's World Television Champion.
00:14:45I see a lot of parallels here, Caprice.
00:14:48We talked about Burt Vixen continuing to knock down, to knock at the door of the Proving Ground.
00:14:56That was the same thing Red Velvet did until finally she broke through.
00:15:01Yeah, Red Velvet has broken through, but also has came out of the biggest win of her career against Mercedes-Monae.
00:15:09The dangerous thing about this match here with Burt Vixen is Burt Vixen just went against the Ring of Honor Women's World Champion.
00:15:15And now going against the Ring of Honor Women's Television Champion.
00:15:18That could be dangerous for Red Velvet because you know how it is to be in the ring with a champion.
00:15:24And it will need to be for at least 10 minutes for Burt Vixen as tonight's rules in the Proving Ground.
00:15:38If the challenger goes 10 minutes, they earn a future title shot with the champion.
00:15:44Or if the challenger would defeat the champion, which is quite the statement, they would also earn a future title shot.
00:15:49Great wrist lock exchange here.
00:15:50Red Velvet.
00:15:51Oh, and that Lucha background.
00:15:53Red Velvet, very versatile.
00:15:55That's what I'm talking about.
00:15:56Oh, absolutely.
00:15:57One of your favorites here, the short-arm scissor lock.
00:16:00Yeah, short-arm scissor lock.
00:16:01That's right.
00:16:03Got it locked in.
00:16:04This bridge is a bridge here by two.
00:16:10And Caprice, our friends over at Jazzwear's, continue to turn out.
00:16:14Great ROH figure.
00:16:15That's a great ROH figure.
00:16:17You'd have to imagine.
00:16:18Oh, shoulder tackle there.
00:16:19If Red Velvet's figure came out, it'd have to come with the women's television title.
00:16:23Maybe the kitchen sink, too.
00:16:24Yeah, I was getting ready to say, the kitchen sink, the red cup, every...
00:16:28Oh, my goodness.
00:16:29Nice elbow to the back.
00:16:30One.
00:16:31Well, maybe that hypothetical title.
00:16:33A spatula?
00:16:35Oh, yeah, that's right.
00:16:35A title.
00:16:37Yeah, well, might be in Vert Vixen's action figure.
00:16:40Vert can do what she's doing here for another eight minutes and go on to win the title.
00:16:46This is the most dangerous athlete you can get as an athlete, like I said, has been in
00:16:49the ring with champions, especially as close as Vert Vixen has.
00:16:52Nice three.
00:16:53Right there by Velvet.
00:16:55Bottom rope springboard.
00:16:56Two.
00:16:58What a great exchange there.
00:17:00The calmness about Velvet, man.
00:17:02I tell you, I like this version of Velvet.
00:17:04After this win against Mercedes Monet, she has a different poise about her.
00:17:10And she had a championship poise about her before.
00:17:12Oh, that drop kick.
00:17:16And then the pop right up.
00:17:19Nice arm drag.
00:17:21Yeah, staying right with it here.
00:17:23Vert Vixen.
00:17:24I tell you, what Vert is doing there is staying in control, not trying to move fast.
00:17:30She could have did an arm drag.
00:17:31And many people would have arm dragged and went to a big move.
00:17:33She brought right down to ground the champion.
00:17:36Smart move.
00:17:36Champion arm drags herself out.
00:17:38And that's a close line.
00:17:43Big lariat there.
00:17:48Stirring it up.
00:17:50And Red Velvet arm drag.
00:17:52Right back to that arm.
00:17:53This is great wrestling, Riccoboni.
00:17:55Some deep arm drags in there.
00:17:56Stayed on that arm.
00:17:57And one thing you pointed out about Red Velvet Caprice is she just looks so relaxed and so calm.
00:18:05It says she got that signature victory, that almost career-defining victory.
00:18:09And now she's wrestling like she's never wrestled before, finding an even higher level as the straight jacket applied here.
00:18:19Straight jacket applied.
00:18:20Here's the thing, Riccoboni.
00:18:21Red Velvet said she was going to beat Monet.
00:18:23She said she was going to give her her first loss.
00:18:24She was going to take the time.
00:18:25But nobody believed that her.
00:18:27Velvet had to believe in herself.
00:18:29When she won the match, I think it hit something to let her see that all she has to do is believe in herself.
00:18:34It doesn't matter what anybody else thinks.
00:18:36And now she doesn't care what people think about her.
00:18:38She's going there doing her best.
00:18:43Taking a breather here.
00:18:44Red Velvet may have gotten rocked a little bit.
00:18:47Referee Brandon Martinez right there.
00:18:48But it's Hurt Vixen.
00:18:49One, two.
00:18:51Hurt Vixen reminding you are in a match right here.
00:18:53Back to that arm drag to ground.
00:18:56That arm drag could buy some time.
00:18:57I believe Velvet got poked in the eye, Riccoboni.
00:19:01That's a good call.
00:19:03I think you're right, Caprice.
00:19:05Red Velvet trying to keep the pressure on.
00:19:08It's Hurt Vixen.
00:19:11Honestly, going at Red Velvet's pace isn't the worst thing.
00:19:15In these proving grounds, you just have to go the distance.
00:19:18Yeah, you just have to go to Gizzen and buy that time.
00:19:20I'll tell you what, Riccoboni.
00:19:21Oh!
00:19:22Does it matter now?
00:19:26Burt Vixen.
00:19:26I told you she's dangerous, man.
00:19:28It's dangerous to be at a high level and to excel at it.
00:19:36And a six-year veteran, Black Belt and Taekwondo.
00:19:39Those kicks are stunning, to say the least.
00:19:42And again, now unloading into the midsection.
00:19:44Into the rock-hard abs of Red Velvet.
00:19:46And it's Furt Vixen safe at home.
00:19:53Nowhere to go.
00:19:54That kick right to the face of Velvet.
00:19:58Two.
00:19:59Two count there.
00:20:01And this is always the strategic puzzle for the challengers, Caprice.
00:20:05You get the advantage.
00:20:06Do you push on?
00:20:07Do you try and win the match?
00:20:09Or do you start to think about the time?
00:20:12Right there, she took too much time trying to buy that timeout.
00:20:15Look at this clip here.
00:20:17On two.
00:20:18Nice body scissors.
00:20:20End of the roll there.
00:20:21Velvet has something different every time we see her, man.
00:20:23She continues to elevate herself.
00:20:27And we're watching the elevation right here, the evolution of Red Velvet.
00:20:31But she has, look at that, dunked it right there because Vixen tried it twice and didn't get it that time.
00:20:35Now Vixen is stuck in the corner.
00:20:37And the leverage on the splits.
00:20:41The high-intensity athlete cover here.
00:20:43One.
00:20:43Two.
00:20:44Heat check cover.
00:20:47As Vixen taking those big breaths now to get the oxygen flowing.
00:20:51There's a lot of belt.
00:20:52Got to be careful with Vixen to be said.
00:20:54Two Riccabonis.
00:20:55Oh, she's trying to hook it in.
00:20:56Oh, wait a minute.
00:20:57Oh.
00:20:57Straight.
00:20:58No.
00:20:58Wow.
00:20:59Straight up in the air by Vixen.
00:21:01Yeah.
00:21:03Straight out to your mama's kitchen block.
00:21:05The powerful.
00:21:06Vert Vixen off the ropes.
00:21:09Ducks down.
00:21:10Vert Vixen.
00:21:13Casadora Red.
00:21:14Oh, again.
00:21:15Oh, look.
00:21:16Time to go.
00:21:17One.
00:21:18Two.
00:21:18Wow.
00:21:20Vert Vixen stirring up a shade of purple.
00:21:24The blue thunder on Red Velvet gets two.
00:21:26She almost put the kitchen in the upper room.
00:21:31That's, oh, the right hand, though.
00:21:35Olympic familial hands of Red Velvet.
00:21:38Two Olympic boxers and her family tree, her family lineage.
00:21:41Absolutely.
00:21:42And she could take a punch as well, Riccabonis.
00:21:44She has to land it, though.
00:21:46Oh.
00:21:47Lights may have been turned off.
00:21:49Can Vert Vixen capitalize here?
00:21:50That's the first strike exchange I've ever seen Red Velvet lose, Riccabonis.
00:21:56But it's the Casadora.
00:21:58And Red Velvet with a bulldog.
00:22:00Got it that time.
00:22:03If I was Velvet, I would turn it away right now.
00:22:06I'd turn it off.
00:22:06Take it home.
00:22:07Yeah.
00:22:08Straight out your mama's kitchen.
00:22:11Cover.
00:22:12Two.
00:22:13Red Velvet has kicked the proof and drive.
00:22:16The winner of this match, the Ring of Honor Women's World Television Champion,
00:22:21Riccabonis.
00:22:22Riccabonis.
00:22:23Keeping that kitchen hot.
00:22:27And the proof is in the pudding.
00:22:29And the outstretched arm.
00:22:36Code of Honor adheres to.
00:22:39Red Velvet has been just in another stratosphere as of late.
00:22:45Following that big win at final battle.
00:22:48Continues to rack up the wins week after week.
00:22:50Don't get too close.
00:22:55Dante and Darius Martin.
00:22:58Top flight.
00:22:59Now boys, I've known from day one that you are one of the most talented tag teams in
00:23:05all of professional wrestling.
00:23:06And that's why I invited you to become a part of Skyflight when we started it all.
00:23:11But it seems that the world of professional wrestling is taking you for granted.
00:23:15They seem to have forgotten how damn talented you both really are.
00:23:19And it's time to change that.
00:23:21And I think we should change that by banking some challenges in this company.
00:23:25For example, Sammy Guevara and Beast Mortos are the current Ring of Honor World Tag Team
00:23:31Champions.
00:23:31But I don't see you gentlemen defending those championships often enough or against top caliber
00:23:37talent like these men.
00:23:39So I suggest, I propose, I humbly offer your next challengers, Sammy and Beast Mortos.
00:23:48I call them top flight and I call them the next tag team champion.
00:23:51Sammy Guevara, when you first came into this company, you were supposed to be a pillar of
00:23:54it.
00:23:54Can you believe that?
00:23:55A pillar of the company?
00:23:57Embarrassed.
00:23:57Everything you've done since has proven otherwise.
00:24:00You are absolutely an embarrassment to those Ring of Honor Tag Titles.
00:24:04We represent doing everything the right way, the hard way.
00:24:08And what these two are saying is that you can consider top flight the alarm clocks that
00:24:13this tag team division needs because you have been sleeping on us for way too long and it's
00:24:17time for us to wake you up.
00:24:19So Sammy, Beast, step up or take flight?
00:24:26Yes sir!
00:24:27Wow!
00:24:29Top flight!
00:24:30Calling out the tag champs, the two playboys.
00:24:33Imagine on the beach with those titles.
00:24:34Wow!
00:24:35A new alarm clock.
00:24:36This tag team match is set for one ball and a 20 minute time limit.
00:24:39Team number one.
00:24:40The hard headed Hawaii, Bruna Kaimi.
00:24:45The end of one of the wet body, Phil Shark together.
00:24:50We are Shark and Turf!
00:24:54Bruna Kaimi from Kona, Hawaii.
00:24:56On to the late, great Bryan Adams.
00:25:00Former New Japan star Bryan Adams.
00:25:02And then, uh, this must be Phil Shark, the man in the Shark costume.
00:25:06That's right, he's the surfer's worst nightmare, Ruka Barney.
00:25:10He's also the underwater wet boy, a sentence I've never said before in my life until this
00:25:15broadcast of Ring of Honor.
00:25:17They will certainly have their hands full here tonight, though.
00:25:20We go back to Bobby Cruz.
00:25:21And a combined weight of 503 pounds, the bounty hunter, Bryan Key and Pete Bills.
00:25:35I don't know that I've ever seen Bryan Key smile.
00:25:40Since he came onto the scene back at final battle, 2023 earned his way into the survival
00:25:49of the fittest bout during zero hour, picking up an impressive victory.
00:25:52Of course, Big Bill, I've known this man for years, a star on the NYU basketball team,
00:25:58leading the violence to many a victory.
00:26:02And has parlayed that into a decade and a half at the top of professional wrestling.
00:26:10What a great team they've formed.
00:26:12Big Bill have on Neon Timberlands.
00:26:14Big Bill can do whatever he wants, and I expect him to do whatever he wants.
00:26:21No, no, I was just asking a question.
00:26:23I was curious.
00:26:24I was curious.
00:26:24I just don't want him to turn the lights off.
00:26:27Well, he can do whatever he wants.
00:26:28He'll do it this Saturday.
00:26:29It's Big Bill and Bryan Key team with the Grizzled Young Veterans against the Rascals and their
00:26:33uncle, Eddie Kingston, and his partner, Ortiz, in a parking lot fight.
00:26:38Yeah, on collision, man.
00:26:40It's going to be a fight, though.
00:26:46Whew.
00:26:48And this, uh...
00:26:50You ever see a duel between a gunslinger and a shark?
00:26:54I think...
00:26:55I don't think Phil is finished.
00:26:57He needs to finish getting dressed.
00:26:58There you go.
00:26:59Oh!
00:27:00Yeah.
00:27:00And now it is Brian Keith stomping away on Phil's shirt.
00:27:12And look at this.
00:27:14Oh, and Brian Keith, much of the display of the MPX Metroplex fans here has had enough.
00:27:23And if you haven't had enough of great merchandise fans, you can get Brian Keith's brand new t-shirt.
00:27:27You can go to ShopHonor.com and ShopEW.com.
00:27:32Nice big boot, and it's Phil Shark.
00:27:34A blind tag there.
00:27:35Oh, yeah.
00:27:36Look at this.
00:27:37Oh, Phil Shark.
00:27:39That is a great tag team move.
00:27:40One, two.
00:27:42Wow!
00:27:44Right there with a combination showing you can't overlook anybody.
00:27:47Oh, oh, wow.
00:27:49Oh, wow.
00:27:49Surf and turf.
00:27:51And Brada, Chaka Brada.
00:27:54You got to start tagging out and a wheel tagging in.
00:27:57Oh, ho.
00:27:59Harpoon!
00:28:02Harpoon.
00:28:03Whoa!
00:28:03Well, that was a harpoon all right, but it was for Phil Shark.
00:28:06He should have saw it coming.
00:28:08Oh, well.
00:28:11And Big Bill certainly looks unfazed.
00:28:15Not looking past his opponents here tonight, but this Saturday, he and Brian Keith team with
00:28:22the Grizzled Young Vets against two members of the Rascals.
00:28:25Oh!
00:28:26Oh!
00:28:26And it kicks in.
00:28:28And Ortiz, that parking lot fight.
00:28:32Rick Abani, you don't have to look past your opponents if you can run through them, Rick Abani.
00:28:36Wow.
00:28:37That's exactly what Big Bill just did.
00:28:38And look at this, just now, Brian, Brian Keith.
00:28:44And Kaimi.
00:28:47Oh, Brada.
00:28:48Brada, Brada.
00:28:49Oh, Brada.
00:28:50Oh.
00:28:51Oh, Brada.
00:28:52Oh, my goodness.
00:28:54These are big shots, man.
00:28:55Yeah.
00:28:56And hammers.
00:28:57Ooh!
00:28:58Big boot.
00:28:59Imagine knowing that man, Caprice.
00:29:04Imagine him being massive in college.
00:29:06I can't breathe.
00:29:07And then many years later, you see him, and he's somehow three times as big.
00:29:10That's how I see Big Bill.
00:29:12That's scary, man.
00:29:14There's a scary guy.
00:29:15But the nice knee here.
00:29:17Two.
00:29:17Brian Keith gets two.
00:29:19Man, look at a great tag team.
00:29:20Brian Keith and Big Bill are.
00:29:22I mean, it's only a matter of time before they start asking for a tag team title shot,
00:29:25and nobody can deny him.
00:29:27Well, think about that.
00:29:27Top flight.
00:29:29Top flight has just issued the challenge to Lafacione Gobernable.
00:29:34Yeah.
00:29:35Big Bill.
00:29:36Brian Keith.
00:29:37Big Bill's been to the top of the mountain in AEW.
00:29:39Four or one half of the whole tag team champs there.
00:29:41Absolutely.
00:29:43I think it's only a matter of time.
00:29:45Oh, and...
00:29:45Oh, wow!
00:29:48Last year at Grand Slam Australia, cover two.
00:29:51These two, part of a great bout.
00:29:53A great six-man tag team bout with the current ROH World Champion Bandido.
00:29:57And just traveling all around the world.
00:30:00You know, Brian Keith came out of Texas, man.
00:30:07He spent so much of his years in Texas honing his craft.
00:30:10He was in Texas ten years before he left the state to make a name for himself.
00:30:14And within five years, he's already signed to a major company.
00:30:18But that shows the tutelage that these people from Texas have.
00:30:22So we're going to miss on the Insecure.
00:30:24You're absolutely right, Capri.
00:30:25He says, oh, brother, Connie May.
00:30:27Now looking for the tag.
00:30:29And that's why we have the stars of MPX here tonight.
00:30:32Some of the hottest, freshest, fastest rising athletes in the country
00:30:35looking to showcase their skill against the stars of our age.
00:30:40Tag is made.
00:30:41Bill Shark is in.
00:30:42Big close line.
00:30:44And...
00:30:44Shark's in the water with the body.
00:30:46And...
00:30:46And...
00:30:47Oh, Shark...
00:30:48Oh, well.
00:30:50Bill Shark may have just made himself chum.
00:30:53The bounty hunter.
00:30:55Oh, inside.
00:30:56Inside takeover.
00:30:58Spinning heel kick.
00:31:00Brana.
00:31:03Uh-oh.
00:31:04Into the corner.
00:31:05Look where the harpoon...
00:31:06Oh, entirely got it.
00:31:10Uh-oh.
00:31:12Standing moonsault.
00:31:13And Bill Shark, a running shooting star.
00:31:17Two upsets, City Dome.
00:31:19Whoa.
00:31:20That's got to be huge, Rickabani.
00:31:23That's got to be big, no matter how these two young men came in here.
00:31:26They have surprised the whole crowd here in the Metro Packs.
00:31:30Uh-oh.
00:31:31Oh.
00:31:32And big Bill.
00:31:34Oh, my goodness.
00:31:38That's high and dry on the turf right there, Rickabani.
00:31:40That's the part of the ocean where the sun doesn't shine.
00:31:43Oh, goodness.
00:31:46And Phil Shark trying...
00:31:48Uh-oh.
00:31:49Driving headbutt there.
00:31:52Tag made.
00:31:53The Seafoam Timberlands are about to conquer.
00:31:56Face up the pins!
00:31:58Ah, he brought him back.
00:32:00Go.
00:32:00Big...
00:32:01Oh!
00:32:01Oh!
00:32:02Oh!
00:32:02Oh!
00:32:03Get away!
00:32:05Did you hear that?
00:32:08Oh.
00:32:09What?
00:32:09What in the...
00:32:10That's a 200-pound man!
00:32:12Yeah!
00:32:13Look at Big Bill!
00:32:15Sending a message to Eddie Kingston!
00:32:18To Ortiz, to the Rascals!
00:32:22One!
00:32:22Two!
00:32:23That's it!
00:32:24That's it!
00:32:27The winners of this match, Big Bill and Brian Keith!
00:32:33Big Bill and Brian Keith victorious as they head to this Saturday.
00:32:42The parking lot fight.
00:32:44They will team with the grizzled young vets to take on former ROH world champion Eddie Kingston,
00:32:50Ortiz, and the Rascals.
00:32:53What a bout that is going...
00:32:56It's not even a bout.
00:32:57What a fight that's going to be, Caprice.
00:32:59Fight, yeah.
00:33:01Something to look forward to.
00:33:02This team right here builds well together.
00:33:06A definite threat.
00:33:08Making shots stinking and ending the return.
00:33:10Well, speaking of looking forward to, I've been looking forward to the return of Abaddon.
00:33:20The Living Dead Girls, they return to ROH here tonight in an MPX title bout.
00:33:28It'll be for the MPX Women's Championship.
00:33:29Abaddon defends against ROH Stoward.
00:33:32Ray Lynn, that's coming up next.
00:33:34And a nice homecoming for this athlete.
00:33:42This match is set for one fall, and it is for the Metroplex Wrestling Women's Championship.
00:33:49Approaching the ring is the challenger, wrestling out of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, Ray Lynn.
00:33:57Well, Ray Lynn, Caprice, you and I are very familiar with Ray Lynn.
00:34:00Got on ROH's radar 2015, impressed ROH officials at a tryout camp,
00:34:07and then proceeded to sign a number of big women's bouts over the years for ROH.
00:34:12Absolutely great to see her back here.
00:34:14Show her here, the Metroplex.
00:34:15They bring people from all over.
00:34:17Great to see Ray Lynn.
00:34:19She's in phenomenal shape.
00:34:21Absolutely is.
00:34:26They're here.
00:34:27They are the living dead girl in the Metroplex Wrestling Women's Champion,
00:34:44Abaddon.
00:34:48Abaddon, just as chilling as ever.
00:34:53A great Ring of Honor record.
00:34:5811-2 in ROH singles bouts at that impressive World Championship bout against Athena.
00:35:08Back on Halloween night, the Ring of Horror.
00:35:12It's 20-24.
00:35:14So great to see Abaddon back in the Ring of Honor ring.
00:35:18Absolutely, and a great return here.
00:35:26Whoa.
00:35:28And fans, leading up to this bout, Ray Lynn earned her title shot as referee Mike Posey,
00:35:33displaying the MPX Women's Championship.
00:35:37Ray Lynn earned this bout by winning the Bad Bitch Brawl, which, yeah,
00:35:44which Athena is very proud of naming.
00:35:48Oh.
00:35:52As we are going, we are going, oh, face to face.
00:35:56Look at me.
00:35:57Look at me.
00:35:59And, oh.
00:36:00Wow, that's impressive right here.
00:36:02Ray Lynn is not intimidated at all.
00:36:04You don't have to be intimidated to be assaulted.
00:36:07How to live a dead girl.
00:36:11And now into the corner.
00:36:12Oh, Abaddon.
00:36:14And just driving my knee to the skull.
00:36:18They are in control.
00:36:21All right, I know your rules.
00:36:23Caprice, we've talked to our great colleague, Paul White, over the years.
00:36:26This is, oh, Paul White's favorite wrestler.
00:36:29He loves Abaddon's unorthodox style.
00:36:33Unpredictable movements.
00:36:35And what's not to love about them?
00:36:38Tell you what, man, the scary thing about them is the fact that they're scary
00:36:42and they're a lethal athlete at the same time.
00:36:45Right here reversing Ray Lynn.
00:36:48Ray Lynn taking advantage of the hair that we haven't seen here of the living dead girl.
00:36:54And it's Ray Lynn with the mount.
00:36:56Like you mentioned, Caprice, Ray Lynn in absolutely great physical condition
00:37:02and using that functional strength.
00:37:05She's always had that great athletic background.
00:37:11Yes.
00:37:12Oh!
00:37:13Driving the shot under their knee.
00:37:16And again!
00:37:17Oh!
00:37:19Ooh.
00:37:20Ray Lynn's familiar with Abaddon, too.
00:37:22This is a rematch, Rick Abaddon.
00:37:23So I believe Ray Lynn's been waiting on this opportunity.
00:37:27And this, believe it or not, is Ray Lynn's Honor Club debut.
00:37:30Oh, goodness!
00:37:31Nice slap from Abaddon.
00:37:35Single leg though.
00:37:36It's Ray Lynn.
00:37:38Driving the elbow into the point of their knee.
00:37:41And again!
00:37:44Oh, look at that!
00:37:45Ray Lynn unloading!
00:37:46Elbow's working on the body part, man.
00:37:49It's a smart move, man.
00:37:50It doesn't matter who you're in the ring with.
00:37:51If they have a body, you can take it apart!
00:37:54It doesn't matter if they can feel it or not.
00:37:56It hurts.
00:37:56But you see right there
00:37:57that Abaddon feels every bit of that.
00:38:01Yes, they do.
00:38:02As Ray Lynn now stepping over.
00:38:05And a beautiful step over.
00:38:06Ankle lock here.
00:38:08Wrenching the knee.
00:38:10Oh!
00:38:10Oh!
00:38:10That's the thing about Abaddon.
00:38:14It's a great wrestler inside of there.
00:38:17Wow!
00:38:18It changes.
00:38:19Ray Lynn gets the leverage
00:38:20that she wants
00:38:22in this hold here.
00:38:25But it's Abaddon who...
00:38:27Abaddon's playing chess right now, Caprice.
00:38:29Absolutely.
00:38:30They're going back and forth,
00:38:31but I'm showing right here...
00:38:32Oh, uh-oh.
00:38:32I thought Ray Lynn was trying to hook in an ankle lock.
00:38:34Yep!
00:38:34Whoa!
00:38:34Right there to the one-legged Boston Crab.
00:38:38I thought she was going for an ankle lock, though.
00:38:40But she definitely has control.
00:38:41She's showing some great wrestling here.
00:38:42Jams that knee.
00:38:45And great game plan from Ray Lynn right now.
00:38:48Absolutely.
00:38:49It was on Dark Elevation
00:38:51where they had this match in 2021
00:38:54on the very first episode of Dark Elevation, Caprice.
00:38:57Ooh!
00:38:58You're absolutely right.
00:38:59I can't see!
00:39:00Whoa!
00:39:01No!
00:39:02Can you imagine having nightmares about this?
00:39:04I think Ray Lynn's standing up for herself.
00:39:06Watch this!
00:39:07Oh, cover here!
00:39:08Two!
00:39:10Yeah, think about that.
00:39:11I mean...
00:39:11Dark Elevation
00:39:13had a great run
00:39:16and such a great way to introduce
00:39:19young and rising talent to AEW fans,
00:39:21much of the same way Ring of Honor does right now.
00:39:24Abaddon!
00:39:24Ooh!
00:39:25Mmm!
00:39:26And this rematch,
00:39:28almost five years in the making!
00:39:29Wow!
00:39:31Nice sweep right there
00:39:32by Ray Lynn.
00:39:33Oh, Ray Lynn's got to take the crowd out of this.
00:39:36Right back to the leg.
00:39:38I think she...
00:39:39Ooh!
00:39:39You're absolutely right, Rick Abider.
00:39:40Right here!
00:39:42Version of the Death Lock.
00:39:45Native American Death Lock here
00:39:47as Ray Lynn.
00:39:50Ooh!
00:39:52Abaddon's legs are trapped, Caprice.
00:39:53There's no word for Abaddon to go.
00:39:55Abaddon's leg there
00:39:56getting ready to tap there.
00:39:58Thinking about it.
00:39:58Thinking about it.
00:40:00Ooh!
00:40:01On...
00:40:01On...
00:40:01Just army crawling,
00:40:03military crawling to the ropes.
00:40:04Abaddon gets that.
00:40:06Yeah, it's like a zombie
00:40:07on a zombie apocalypse movie or something.
00:40:09Right?
00:40:10Come on, Brad!
00:40:12And it is Ray Lynn
00:40:14who's trying to garner some sympathy,
00:40:16maybe a different call from Mike Posey.
00:40:18It allows Abaddon
00:40:20to get right back in this
00:40:21with a big close line!
00:40:22The MPX Women's Champion!
00:40:25Abaddon was holding on to that top rope.
00:40:26Just to keep themselves up.
00:40:28Just enough time
00:40:29to get that momentum going.
00:40:31Wow!
00:40:32Spinning slam
00:40:33from the champion!
00:40:35Didn't get as much as they wanted!
00:40:37Two!
00:40:37That knee!
00:40:38Caprice!
00:40:39Abaddon trying to plant from the knee.
00:40:41Too damaged.
00:40:43Normally,
00:40:44that would end it.
00:40:45Ray Lynn,
00:40:45the damage paying off.
00:40:47Absolutely.
00:40:48Absolutely.
00:40:49The investment that Ray Lynn has made
00:40:51is definitely paying off right now.
00:40:53You can see right now
00:40:54that Abaddon
00:40:55is in a lot of trouble
00:40:56trying to stand
00:40:56when it's two feet.
00:40:58Tries again!
00:41:00Oh!
00:41:00Oh!
00:41:01And he's standing up right.
00:41:04It's Ray Lynn
00:41:05looking for the roll-up.
00:41:06One,
00:41:06two,
00:41:07oh!
00:41:09Pump kick!
00:41:11Nice kick!
00:41:13Front face lock here
00:41:15and Ray Lynn!
00:41:17Wow!
00:41:17Into the bridge!
00:41:18Two!
00:41:20Two count there.
00:41:21Perfect!
00:41:21It was,
00:41:24but it speaks
00:41:24to just how tough
00:41:26Abaddon is.
00:41:29And now the front face lock here.
00:41:31It is Abaddon.
00:41:32Fight!
00:41:33Oh!
00:41:34That'll do it,
00:41:35Rick Abani.
00:41:35I promise you that much.
00:41:37Two!
00:41:38Flatliner gets it!
00:41:41The winner of this match
00:41:42is still

00:42:17to the champion
00:42:18that hobbled me
00:42:19the evidence
00:42:19but it is Abaddon
00:42:21who will leave
00:42:22Arlington, Texas
00:42:23with a Metroplex Championship
00:42:25around their waist.

00:55:09he made the strike
00:55:10and look at D'Lynn here
00:55:14D'Lynn Kavens
00:55:15the MTX champion
00:55:16oh kick to the midsection
00:55:18and Kavens to the back of the head
00:55:20it's a nice smile
00:55:23well Arlington
00:55:27certainly has their favorite
00:55:29oh but Griffey
00:55:30I was going to say
00:55:31you wrestling me
00:55:32wow open hand there
00:55:36and it is
00:55:40and it is
00:55:40Kavens
00:55:41the MPX champion
00:55:43oh
00:55:43is that
00:55:47Griffey not having any of that man
00:55:49Ailey trying to
00:55:51make a big opportunity
00:55:52show what he has
00:55:54but Griffey
00:55:54thinking through the business
00:55:56oh
00:55:56goodness
00:55:57Gordbuster right there
00:55:58hardest part of the ring
00:56:00this is the old adage
00:56:02work smarter
00:56:03not harder
00:56:04Griffey taking advantage
00:56:05of that mistake
00:56:06and just unloading
00:56:08on Kavens
00:56:09whoa
00:56:09oh again
00:56:13just the release here
00:56:15well and
00:56:17oh like we mentioned
00:56:18that Abaddon Ray Lynn
00:56:20there's a rematch
00:56:22from all the way back
00:56:23at the first ever
00:56:24dark elevation
00:56:25this is
00:56:26a bit of a rematch
00:56:27in itself
00:56:27cover
00:56:28two
00:56:29with Dylan Kavens
00:56:30having multiple victories
00:56:32in their careers
00:56:33against the challenger
00:56:34J.D. Griffey
00:56:35you're right
00:56:36and this
00:56:36right here
00:56:37is a championship match
00:56:39and any time to beat
00:56:40Kavens
00:56:41would be the right time
00:56:42especially for a championship
00:56:44and I think that's what Griffin
00:56:44wants to do
00:56:46and I got to think about
00:56:48the mindset
00:56:48because J.D.'s been in the ring
00:56:49a lot more
00:56:50than Kavens has
00:56:52and maybe Kavens
00:56:53is trying to show the world
00:56:54who he is
00:56:55and Griffey's
00:56:56just trying to get the win
00:56:57if that's the game plan
00:56:58that puts Kavens
00:56:59in a lot of trouble
00:57:00it certainly is
00:57:02because like Red Velvet
00:57:03how she kind of
00:57:03found herself
00:57:04and found that energy
00:57:05found that lane
00:57:06to settle in on
00:57:07there is the calm
00:57:08and poise
00:57:09J.D. Griffey
00:57:10has as well
00:57:11that he's
00:57:12displaying right now
00:57:13not frazzled
00:57:14by that early onslaught
00:57:15of offense
00:57:15for the champion
00:57:16not frazzled
00:57:17by that escape there
00:57:18ducks the clothesline
00:57:19oh again
00:57:23nice
00:57:23might be frazzled
00:57:25and might be frazzled
00:57:30by that
00:57:30let's not forget
00:57:31there's got to be
00:57:33something there
00:57:34as we mentioned
00:57:35holding multiple victories
00:57:36over Griffey
00:57:37off the ropes
00:57:38it is Kavens
00:57:40taking a trip
00:57:41around the DFW
00:57:42Kavens may feel
00:57:44like I've done it before
00:57:45and I could do it again
00:57:46and Kavens
00:57:48going up top now
00:57:49and the
00:57:50450
00:57:51all the way
00:57:53down
00:57:54driving all
00:57:55of the wind
00:57:56whoa
00:57:58that was an
00:57:59effortless 450
00:58:00Rickerbonding
00:58:01most times
00:58:02you see people
00:58:02get up and do a 450
00:58:03they have to set
00:58:04themselves
00:58:05but Kavens just
00:58:06get ups and hits it
00:58:07and now it is
00:58:10Griffey
00:58:10who tries to catch
00:58:12Kavens
00:58:13a little too soon
00:58:14though again
00:58:14back to the sternum
00:58:16back to the midsection
00:58:17trying to work on
00:58:18that oxygen tank
00:58:19there
00:58:19Kavens
00:58:21Kavens
00:58:22that's how you put
00:58:23the game plan
00:58:24together man
00:58:24you stay with
00:58:25the body part
00:58:25that's working
00:58:26and right now
00:58:28it's the core of
00:58:29Griffey
00:58:29in a lot of trouble
00:58:30oh
00:58:32oh and then
00:58:34he didn't want
00:58:34to hit Stefan
00:58:35it was Kavens
00:58:36who pulled up
00:58:37he didn't want
00:58:37to hit the referee
00:58:38yeah but I tell you
00:58:40what man
00:58:40that's why they call
00:58:41it high risk
00:58:41right there
00:58:42and that Griffey's
00:58:43not going to let
00:58:43that happen
00:58:44you get one opportunity
00:58:45and that's exactly
00:58:46what I was talking
