00:00:00They say she's the best.
00:00:05The longest-rating Ring of Honor Women's Champion in history.
00:00:09They built a throne.
00:00:11Not a month, not a moment.
00:00:12She stayed on it.
00:00:14An era.
00:00:15I'm finna.
00:00:17Longest running.
00:00:18Longest running.
00:00:19Longest anything you want to call it.
00:00:22Time didn't test her.
00:00:23It protected her.
00:00:24Until now.
00:00:25See?
00:00:27Every ring looks permanent.
00:00:29Until it isn't.
00:00:30Every legend sounds untouchable.
00:00:33Until somebody touches them.
00:00:34You can keep the records.
00:00:36You can keep the numbers.
00:00:37You can keep the story they tell about you.
00:00:39I'm not here for any of that.
00:00:41I'm here for the moment where it all stops.
00:00:44Where the crowd gets quiet.
00:00:45Where the air changes.
00:00:46Where you realize it feels different.
00:00:50I'm not built for your error.
00:00:52I'm built to break it.
00:00:53You've been at the top so long you forgot what it feels like to be hunted.
00:00:57I don't chase, I close in.
00:00:59Step by step, breath by breath.
00:01:01Mistake by mistake.
00:01:03And you'll make many.
00:01:04But you only need one.
00:01:06You call her the standard.
00:01:08I call her the line.
00:01:09The line you cross right before everything changes.
00:01:12This isn't about probing anything.
00:01:15It's about taking something.
00:01:16You had your time.
00:01:17You had your run.
00:01:19You had your error.
00:01:20Now you have me.
00:01:21And that's one thing you never had to deal with.
00:01:27All there's not in this world.
00:01:29But here's the part they don't tell you.
00:01:32Records don't win new titles.
00:01:33History doesn't protect you.
00:01:36And dominance, it expires.
00:01:39Now I'm not here to chase eras.
00:01:41I'm here to start my own.
00:01:44I didn't come this far to be comfortable.
00:01:45I didn't come this far to almost belong.
00:01:48You call her the standard.
00:01:52I call her the moment.
00:01:57The moment you find out who you really are.
00:02:01Not here to survive.
00:02:02Not here to hang.
00:02:03Not here to learn.
00:02:05I'm here to take it.
00:02:06And when it's over, it won't feel like the end of a match.
00:02:11I've heard the stories.
00:02:12I've seen what she's done.
00:02:15But there's one thing she hasn't done.
00:02:19She hasn't beaten me.
00:02:23I'm not here to survive.
00:02:24I'm here to rise.
00:02:31Athena, the forever champion, defending her ROH women's title, against MLP's Taylor Rising.
00:02:48And Taylor Rising, looking to rise to the occasion, sees her moment.
00:02:55She enters this matchup a prohibitive underdog.
00:02:59But we all remember the Milan miracle, right, Don?
00:03:03Oh, we do.
00:03:05And how about the great Cinderella?
00:03:09UFC 16th of a runner.
00:03:12Marilee Dickinson doing the same in 2023.
00:03:15Upsets happen.
00:03:17And our champion tonight who entered 78-0-1 as the Ring of Honor World Champion,
00:03:23and who won the title at final battle in December 2022.
00:03:282022 underline.
00:03:30She comes in maybe a little bit loaded, both physically and ego-wise.
00:03:35It was just last night on Honor Club Morrow,
00:03:37where Athena went 22 minutes with a woman that she brought into professional wrestling,
00:03:43a protege that she thought would stay in her nest, under her wig,
00:03:47for the duration of her career, as a minion in training, much like Billy Starks has.
00:03:51That's not the case.
00:03:53Maya World wanted the world championship.
00:03:5622 minutes, and Diamante and Billy Starks were the difference in Athena retaining the ego.
00:04:01It's just a little bit more fragile, physicality, much more fragile here tonight.
00:04:07The shoe may fit, the slipper may fit for Taylor Rising.
00:04:12We take it to the voice of the Ring of Honor, Bobby Cruz, for tonight's championship introduction.
00:04:20The following contest is scheduled for one fall with a 60-minute time limit,
00:04:26and it is for the Ring of Honor Women's World Championship.
00:04:36Introducing first to my right, the challenger,
00:04:40wrestling out of Hamilton, Ontario, Canada.
00:04:44She is representing M.L.P. Tillar Rising.
00:04:56Her opponent to my left is wrestling out of Dallas, Texas.
00:05:02She is representing R.O.H., and she's the Ring of Honor Women's World Champion.
00:05:12The fallin' goddess, Athena!
00:05:22The fourth R.O.H. Women's Champion,
00:05:26the most successful champion in R.O.H. history,
00:05:31with over 1,200 days reigning as the champion,
00:05:38and as you mentioned, winning the title over three-and-a-half years ago.
00:05:43And Morrow, it's not just the fact that she's had the title for this long.
00:05:47We talked about 78-0-1.
00:05:49She is a fighting champion,
00:05:52eviscerating challengers in the Proving Ground,
00:05:54but also offering title shots.
00:05:56And you look at the longest title reigns in wrestling history,
00:06:00Hall of Famer Fabulous Moolik's first reign as WWE Women's Champion.
00:06:04Lasted a decade.
00:06:06Bruno Sanmartino Champion for 2,800 days.
00:06:10And the crowd here,
00:06:13firmly behind both champion and challenger.
00:06:17And by the way,
00:06:17this is their second meeting for the R.O.H. Women's title.
00:06:21In fact, that last meeting took place in Dawn's hometown of Winnipeg
00:06:25back in March of 2023 with Athena retaining the championship.
00:06:30I'm a big fan of Athena because I'm a big fan of dominant athletes.
00:06:34And as you described with all your little analytics and your statistics,
00:06:38Morrow, which are very impressive,
00:06:40that's what she is.
00:06:41She is the dominant athlete, in my opinion.
00:06:44An incredible reign.
00:06:46And, of course, Taylor Rising would like to see it.
00:06:48Oh, and it almost ended there for Rising.
00:06:50You heard that like a shotgun blast.
00:06:54Taylor Rising, tough young lady, grew up in a tough town.
00:06:58Oh, Hamilton has...
00:07:00Oh, what a punch.
00:07:01But Hamilton has forged some incredible pro wrestling luminaries.
00:07:05Angela Mosca, the Messing Link, Billy Red Lions.
00:07:08How about those tag teams?
00:07:09The Sharp Brothers, the Tolis Brothers.
00:07:12But tonight, Taylor Rising would love to add to the list of long-time champions
00:07:17from Steel Town.
00:07:18Oh, beautiful.
00:07:20Flying head scissors there by the challenger.
00:07:23And she could add to the Sharp Brothers' legacy.
00:07:25Athena's taking that title all over the world.
00:07:27Australia and Japan.
00:07:29A win for Rising could make her international travel schedule.
00:07:33But...
00:07:34Harris there by Rising, really taking it to the champion.
00:07:38Taylor Rising moves like an athlete.
00:07:40Shaka drop.
00:07:41Very impressive young lady.
00:07:42And Athena, as Ian mentioned, coming off that top title defense on Honor Club.
00:07:49There's a Tiger fan kick that lands across the face.
00:07:53And the champion was able to get her hands up, but still feeling the effects of that kick to the
00:07:59face.
00:07:59And I like that she's following up here, not waiting for Athena.
00:08:02Oh, wow.
00:08:03You're right, Don.
00:08:04If she would have waited any longer...
00:08:06Oh, goodness!
00:08:07Drives her back first into the barricade.
00:08:09You gotta close that gap.
00:08:10Just like Don said, you gotta go fast.
00:08:13Or else, Athena will take the match to the outside tomorrow and get control and not relinquish it.
00:08:19She has definitely turned the tables now, slowing things down.
00:08:22And here's that replay of the high-impact move.
00:08:27And Athena driving the face of Taylor Rising into that apron, the corner of the apron, which, as we all
00:08:36know, one of the hardest parts of the ring.
00:08:39You know what's harder than that?
00:08:41Those forearms from Athena.
00:08:43She hits those like no one else.
00:08:45Now lighting her up with some chops.
00:08:48Absolutely.
00:08:49Athena, not afraid of the physicality.
00:08:53And when Athena sings, you gotta be prepared for the zag cover here.
00:08:58Cover, lateral press, and only a one count.
00:09:01Referee Aubrey Edwards officiating.
00:09:04Oh, and a knee right to the back.
00:09:05And Athena now beginning to turn up the offense, driving those Skyanese right into the side of Rising.
00:09:14Athena reminds me of a guy I grew up watching, Billy Robinson, in the sense that she'll test you by
00:09:20roughing you up
00:09:21to see if you've got the fortitude to hang in there.
00:09:24Catch Wrestling God.
00:09:26Oh, man, a wind-up of that forearm and just systematically breaking down Taylor Rising.
00:09:36Lifting her up.
00:09:37No, Rising able to drive her weight back down.
00:09:40Roll-up small package by Rising.
00:09:42Oh, and that was great balance by Rising.
00:09:45Oh, shuck a dropkick from the champion and the nip-up by Athena.
00:09:49That's what makes Athena so dangerous.
00:09:52She's double tough, but also double athletic.
00:09:57Oh, a fish hook here.
00:10:00And this is not just to humiliate, to get the mental edge.
00:10:03What also hurts.
00:10:07And now the body triangle employed by the champion.
00:10:12Athena's putting that tight grip, and yes, the fish hook's into the mouth of the challenger, Taylor Rising.
00:10:19She should try to cut the air off and smother her a little bit.
00:10:22Well, Rising trying to break the grip with those elbows, and the shoulders are down.
00:10:26Yeah, Rising can't wait for Athena to make a mistake.
00:10:30She has to create one.
00:10:30You have to run her over with that clothesline, and gets another near fall, a two-count for the champion.
00:10:38You almost have to deploy somewhat of a judo playbook more against Athena,
00:10:43where you've got to use her body weight, her movement against her,
00:10:46because it's very difficult to land offense against the champion.
00:10:53Oh, there's a lot here by Athena.
00:10:57The court of facelock just twisting away on the challenger's head.
00:11:00Oh, the neck.
00:11:01Oh, the knee.
00:11:03That's nasty.
00:11:07And another knee.
00:11:10Ooh, and Rising able to break, unable to break the grip.
00:11:13Come on, Taylor.
00:11:14I thought you were better than that.
00:11:15I've never seen a cravat used to go into a high knee lift, but it's impressive.
00:11:22I'm trying to cut Taylor down to size.
00:11:23Yeah, she does, does Athena.
00:11:29The crowd trying to rally behind Taylor Rising here.
00:11:32The challenger.
00:11:33And the challenger able to deliver a body shot, another shot to the body,
00:11:37but that cravat still employed by the champion.
00:11:40A roll-up here by Rising.
00:11:42And only a two-count.
00:11:44But it's Rising with an opening here more.
00:11:46I thought she was going for that lung blower, and now Athena has the challenger on her shoulders.
00:11:53Pop-up, oh, into the electric chair.
00:11:55Here you go.
00:11:56Uh-oh.
00:11:58Looking for an electric chair suplex if she drives her back.
00:12:01But it's a victory roll by Rising.
00:12:04The shoulders are down, and the champion kicks out.
00:12:06Double stomp to the midsection by Rising.
00:12:09Great move.
00:12:10Time to stick and move against Athena here.
00:12:12Able to counter that as we take a look now.
00:12:17ROH Women's Championship presented by the hockey team.
00:12:21And the Windsor Spitfires defend the W.
00:12:25And, well, Athena's looking to defend the ROH Women's Championship.
00:12:30The most dominant reign in ROH history.
00:12:34And when you look back at the history of ROH, that's even more impressive.
00:12:38There's Rising with an impressive clothesline.
00:12:40Back elbow by the challenger.
00:12:42Ducks under the clothesline.
00:12:43And there is the codebreaker by Taylor Rising.
00:12:48Opportunity here for Rising.
00:12:50And looking for that Tiger fake kick.
00:12:52And Rising now in control of the champion.
00:12:56Picking up the pace.
00:12:57I like what Rising's doing here.
00:12:59Oh, Gisodora by the champion.
00:13:02Wow!
00:13:02Face buster by Rising.
00:13:03This is it.
00:13:04New champion about to be crowned.
00:13:06Oh!
00:13:08Wow.
00:13:08So close.
00:13:10Taylor Rising has impressed me.
00:13:12She's hanging in there against maybe the toughest lady I've ever seen.
00:13:18And Mauro mentioned it.
00:13:19I mean, think about the dominant reigns.
00:13:21Samoa Joe.
00:13:21Brian Danielson.
00:13:22Nigel McGinnis.
00:13:23The Briscoes.
00:13:25Jay Lethal.
00:13:26Men that we have seen dominate and make their names synonymous with ROH.
00:13:30That's what Athena has done.
00:13:31A win for Taylor Rising would not only get her the title.
00:13:34It would put her in some of the most rarefied air.
00:13:37Would become only the fifth ROH women's champion in history.
00:13:42And there, the kick to the knee of the champion.
00:13:45And now it's Rising looking for the pedigree.
00:13:49Oh, it's well scouted by the champion.
00:13:51Drives the challenger to the ropes.
00:13:53Wow!
00:13:54Another knee lift there by Athena.
00:13:58Oh!
00:13:59And Athena just running over the challenger.
00:14:03Here we go.
00:14:05Looking for a pump handle.
00:14:06Yeah, looking for that pump handle instead now.
00:14:09Check a wink.
00:14:10Oh!
00:14:10Oh!
00:14:11Beautifully done.
00:14:12Driving, rising into the canvas.
00:14:14Looks for the win!
00:14:15Only a two count.
00:14:19Samoan driver there by Athena.
00:14:23Oh, and this is where Athena's got to watch herself.
00:14:25She can't lose her cool now.
00:14:31Take a look at the replay here.
00:14:33That pump handle into the Samoan driver.
00:14:36The skull of rising ribbon into the canvas.
00:14:39Only getting two.
00:14:40I got to think it was instinct or adrenaline that led to the kick out there.
00:14:43As we're seeing now, Mauro, maybe Athena thinking about the O-face.
00:14:46Yeah, Athena was thinking about going up top but had other plans.
00:14:51She's now just messing, toying with the challenger, Dawn.
00:14:54She's teaching her a lesson right now.
00:14:57She's not happy that this match has gone this long.
00:15:00Oh!
00:15:03And Aubrey Edwards can look on with nothing but contempt and disgust from the tactics of the champion.
00:15:09Unfortunately, nothing against the rules.
00:15:12Athena positioning herself with the O-face now, Mauro.
00:15:14And Athena begins to ascend the turnbuckles, sensing that the end is near, setting her up for her patented finisher.
00:15:24The O-face, instead rising, rises up and goes to the corner mount.
00:15:30And now the challenger valiantly trying to fight back.
00:15:34And the challenger looking to make the most of this high-impact opportunity.
00:15:41Superplex by Taylor Rising.
00:15:43Can she roll over?
00:15:44She does.
00:15:45Lateral press hooks.
00:15:46The leg only a two-count.
00:15:47And that was dead center.
00:15:48Center of the ring.
00:15:49Rising back up.
00:15:50Sunset flip.
00:15:52Oh!
00:15:53Oh!
00:15:54Drives!
00:15:55Athena's head right into the canvas.
00:15:57This could be it!
00:15:59Another near fall for Taylor Rising.
00:16:01Taylor Rising needs to not be frustrated.
00:16:04She needs to follow up, continue the momentum.
00:16:07Oh!
00:16:08And DD2.
00:16:09Planting the champion on her skull.
00:16:11The cover there.
00:16:11Nothing wrong with that.
00:16:12A nice press leg hook.
00:16:14Reversal on the Irish whip.
00:16:16Now rising in the corner.
00:16:17Full head of steam from Athena.
00:16:19Athena walks right into the kick.
00:16:21This could be it.
00:16:23Athena's stunned.
00:16:24Athena's stunned.
00:16:25Oh!
00:16:25Codebreaker!
00:16:26Codebreaker by Rising.
00:16:28It's over!
00:16:29It's oh my god!
00:16:30So close to making history.
00:16:32So close to ending one of the most dominant title reigns in modern professional wrestling history.
00:16:40Take a look at this.
00:16:42A hop, skip, and a jump driving Athena's shoulders down and down.
00:16:46If I'm the challenger, I gotta know that Athena's tank is drained from last night.
00:16:51I gotta know that I've been wearing her down.
00:16:53That her own offense has been wearing down the challenger.
00:16:56Perhaps this is the strategy to your point.
00:16:59Taylor Rising trying to weather the storm.
00:17:01Bump handle now by Taylor Rising.
00:17:03Looking to end the reign of Athena.
00:17:06Athena stomps on her foot.
00:17:08Misses with the clothesline.
00:17:10German suplex!
00:17:11With a release.
00:17:13Rising.
00:17:13Showing up her strength.
00:17:15Discus lay and missed.
00:17:16Side of suplex by Athena.
00:17:18And that's rattled the challenger tomorrow.
00:17:20It's Athena now.
00:17:21And now she might go for Old Face.
00:17:23Yeah.
00:17:24Oh, wait a minute.
00:17:26Something different in my breath.
00:17:28What about, we got some sweet chin music coming up?
00:17:30I didn't know we hired the band.
00:17:33She's warming up the band.
00:17:36Uh-oh.
00:17:38HPK, eat your heart out.
00:17:39Athena looking to set up Rising for what could be the finishing touch on this title defense at Global Wars.
00:17:45Instead, Rising blocks the kick and catches Athena with a discus punch.
00:17:53Southpaw connects.
00:17:54Taylor Rising popped up.
00:17:56Power bomb!
00:17:58Athena with a power bomb.
00:18:01And now what's she trying?
00:18:03Oh!
00:18:04And they're looking for the coaching clutch.
00:18:06Athena's looking for the coaching clutch.
00:18:08It could be no escape for Rising.
00:18:11And Rising's tapping.
00:18:12No choice.
00:18:13The reign continues.
00:18:16She is forever champion for a reason.
00:18:18She is Athena, the ROH Women's Champion.
00:18:23The winner of this match, by submission and still, bring on Women's World Champion, Athena!
00:18:36A tremendous effort from Taylor Rising.
00:18:41And now 0 for 2 against the ROH Women's Champion.
00:18:44And the question is, is there anyone on God's green earth that can usurp the fallen goddess, Athena, and the
00:18:54ROH Women's Championship?
00:18:58It is so amazing to have this open-door policy.
00:19:02Seven different promote.
00:19:03Oh, what the?
00:19:04Oh, come on, Athena!
00:19:05You've made your point!
00:19:07You're holding on to the gold!
00:19:10That's a message for future challengers right there.
00:19:13Insult to injury and ignominious end there as Athena rubbing salt into the wounds of Taylor Rising.
00:19:21Uncalled for but not unsurprising, Morrow.
00:19:251,200 days to championship break.
00:19:28Sold out crowd here at St. Clair's College in Windsor, Ontario, Canada, where tonight you have seen some of the
00:19:35best wrestling action in the world featuring promotions from around the planet.
00:19:41And it's all being brought to you tonight by ROH and Maple Leaf Pro Wrestling.
00:19:46And speaking of MLP, I want to now throw it to the president of the promotion, Scott D'Amour, who
00:19:54has this landmark announcement.
00:19:57From the very beginning, Maple Leaf Pro Wrestling's mission has been to showcase our outstanding Canadian wrestling talent by having
00:20:04them stand side-by-side with the very best in the world.
00:20:07In order to do that, we need a platform big enough for them to be seen.
00:20:11Tonight, we take a huge step into making that a reality.
00:20:25For generations...
00:20:27In my whole life, I have never been afraid of nothing.
00:20:31Canada helped define professional wrestling.
00:20:34The place is going wild.
00:20:37Angela Mosca has realized a dream.
00:20:40From packed arenas to unforgettable moments...
00:20:44They were heroes, carrying this country's fighting spirit into the ring.
00:20:53When you get someone like me, who ain't afraid to die...
00:20:57It was a tradition rooted in excellence.
00:21:01We've done it all.
00:21:02We've fled, we've swept, and we've paid the price.
00:21:05For more than three decades, Canadian wrestling has been waiting to return to the national stage.
00:21:13This July, that moment arrives.
00:21:27Maple Leaf Pro Wrestling mayhem.
00:21:30It's time to reignite the flame of a wrestling dynasty.
00:21:33This is Maple Leaf Pro Wrestling.
00:21:35No control, no escape.
00:21:37Premieres nationwide on TSN.
00:21:41A new era begins.
00:21:44The crowd on its feet, standing in awe.
00:21:49New stars.
00:21:52New rivalries.
00:21:54A new standard.
00:21:56This isn't a comeback.
00:21:58We are going back to the future with a return.
00:22:01This is a reckoning.
00:22:03Of a Canadian institution.
00:22:05Maple Leaf Pro Wrestling mayhem.
00:22:08Arrives this July on TSN.
00:22:12Where else are you going to see it?
00:22:14Only at Maple Leaf Pro Wrestling.
00:22:22Incredible news for Maple Leaf Pro Wrestling, guys.
00:22:26As, yes, beginning in July, MLP is going to be on TSN, Don.
00:22:31It's fantastic.
00:22:33Home of AEW.
00:22:34Home of MLP.
00:22:36TSN, baby.
00:22:37I love it.
00:22:38Wow.
00:22:38And, Don, let me repeat that because they didn't seem to like it coming from your mouth.
00:22:41Home of AEW and now home of MLP, folks.
00:22:44Coming your way.
00:22:46June 12th, 13th, August 7th and 8th.
00:22:49There are the details on how you can join us as MLP continues to make history more.
00:22:53It was 25 years ago when I was last on TSN calling Muay Thai.
00:22:57Looking forward to being a part of the MLP action.
00:22:59It's all coming your way this July.
00:23:02MLP mayhem only on TSN.
00:23:05But speaking of mayhem, we are set for what I believe could be the match of the year.
00:23:14AEW's Ricochet against MLP's Rich Swann.
00:23:21This match is set for one fall.
00:23:24Introducing first, West Coast of Las Vegas, Nevada.
00:23:28Weighing 208 pounds.
00:23:31He's representing AEW and the demand out of this world.
00:23:40Ricochet!
00:23:44He formed the demand with GOA, who will be in the main event, fine for the MLP Tag Team Titles
00:23:50in July of 2025.
00:23:53He and Rich Swann have met 75 times, you guys.
00:23:57It's one-on-one, the last time Ricochet prevailed in March of last year in Las Vegas.
00:24:05This is, by the way, Ricochet's first singles match since losing the national title, but in a paddle royal.
00:24:11He wasn't banned.
00:24:12And that has gotten under the skin of Ricochet.
00:24:14So tonight, I expect to see intensity.
00:24:17I expect to see every trick in the books from Ricochet as the vibe has changed to be here.
00:24:24Time to party with Rich Swann.
00:24:26It's important.
00:24:27Let's go to Baltimore, Maryland.
00:24:29Weighing 176 pounds.
00:24:31He's representing MLP, Rich Swann.
00:24:36Oh, yeah.
00:24:37Rich Swann ready to party all night long.
00:24:39Got more bounce than a Daft Punk baseline.
00:24:42And Swann and Ricochet.
00:24:45All I can say is get ready.
00:24:48This is going to be one to remember.
00:24:52It's already been a memorable night.
00:24:54Incredible action up and down the Cardi and Riccoboni.
00:24:58Incredible.
00:24:58I've been a part of many Global Wars events dating back to the first 2012.
00:25:04It was known then as Border Wars.
00:25:06It's involved to include organizations from across the world.
00:25:08So tonight, we are seeing perhaps one of the best in down the potential of this bout.
00:25:14I mean, it's tantalizing.
00:25:18I will say I defy anyone, defy me, anywhere in the world.
00:25:23Two better athletes going at it right now, head-to-head than what we're about to see here.
00:25:28I am a huge fan of Ricochet.
00:25:30He's my regular golf partner.
00:25:32We're a member of four different country clubs.
00:25:34We do a lot of business in AW.
00:25:37Most of it on the golf course.
00:25:38Most of it in the rough, I'm sure.
00:25:42Speaking of rough, your Tiger Woods was involved in another car accident.
00:25:46My Tiger Woods.
00:25:47Your Tiger Woods.
00:25:49I'm more of a John Daly guy myself.
00:25:50What a great...
00:25:52All right, guys.
00:25:53Here we go.
00:25:53Serious business.
00:25:55Ricochet, former AEW national champion.
00:25:58Rich Swann, a former TNA world champion.
00:26:01They are meeting in the MLP ring.
00:26:03And it's all brought to you by Ring of Honor, Maple Leaf Pro Wrestling, Global Wars.
00:26:08You know, after Ricochet takes care of Rich Swann, I can't wait till we roll into my hometown of Winnipeg,
00:26:15Manitoba for AEW Dynamite this Wednesday.
00:26:18And Ricochet earns a little bonus of my MJF money I've been paid to take care of that scumbag Kenny
00:26:26Omega right in front of all his marked friends in Winnipeg.
00:26:30What a gruesome, incredible battle between MJF and Heckman Page, by the way, in that Texas deathmatch for the AEW
00:26:37Worlds title.
00:26:38This man, as we mentioned, former national champion, former NXT North American champ, WWE Intercontinental, and U.S. champion.
00:26:46He was the inaugural WWE speed champion.
00:26:49And I think a lot of speed will be on display from both athletes here tonight.
00:26:53We're in the feeling out process here.
00:26:56Both men know each other so well, Don, that I think both men are hesitant to take the first shot
00:27:01and miss, honestly.
00:27:02Yeah, the 76th matchup.
00:27:05Rich Swann, the difference here for him is he's in the best shape of his life.
00:27:10He has never been this fit.
00:27:12He's never been this athletic and agile.
00:27:14Ricochet will have to adjust.
00:27:16Collar and elbow tie-up.
00:27:18Ricochet with the advantage.
00:27:19No!
00:27:19Quickly turned by Rich Swann as a jockey for dominant position.
00:27:24Oh!
00:27:25Rich Swann with some mind games already at work.
00:27:32And I do have to think that Ricochet, with Jack Perry being the current national champion, he's wrestling with a
00:27:37little bit of an edge.
00:27:38Yeah, definitely has a chip on his shoulder, as we mentioned.
00:27:40He lost it in a battle royal.
00:27:42Right.
00:27:42And wasn't the man who was, he just lost that title without being involved.
00:27:48And so you know he wants that championship back.
00:27:50But in the meantime, Rich Swann would love to take advantage and record a huge win here tonight.
00:27:56Of course, I remember Rich Swann going at it.
00:28:00TNA champion against AEW champion.
00:28:02Kenny Omega a few years back.
00:28:04Proud to be part of that broadcast.
00:28:06Main reason Kenny won that match was because I was in his corner, of course.
00:28:10You neglected to mention that with all your notes.
00:28:13Happy to be here with Ring of Honor and AEW announcer Ian Riccoboni and the, yeah, Don Kallis.
00:28:21And Don Kallis.
00:28:22The name says it all.
00:28:24And so, yes, a very interesting start to this matchup.
00:28:29As we mentioned already, we've alluded to the fact these guys know each other incredibly well.
00:28:34Who is going to impose their will and skill first?
00:28:37A little bit of a chess match here.
00:28:39A test of strength, perhaps, as they lock up their fingers.
00:28:43And if you can see, oh, right into a straight jacket.
00:28:45Oh, absolutely.
00:28:47Kind of like the chess match, Don Kallis will be playing with Kenny Omega in his hometown of Winnipeg on
00:28:52AEW Dynamite.
00:28:53But it is Ricochet who is trying to take advantage.
00:28:57I like Swann.
00:28:59Oh, and Swann now with the leverage.
00:29:01Oh, but back again.
00:29:02And Ricochet able to take him down using that high ring IQ.
00:29:05I think Rich Swann came in here thinking this was going to be a high-flying start to the match.
00:29:10And Ricochet has totally thrown a wrench in the works and crossed him up.
00:29:13And I think in the fans' expectations, too, which, yep.
00:29:16Oh, Swann really thrives off the fans getting behind the moves and the movement.
00:29:20And that's a mistake.
00:29:21Who cares what they know?
00:29:22Who'd they ever beat?
00:29:23They've never drawn a dime in this business.
00:29:26Focus on your opponent, the fans.
00:29:29We've had Dory Funk Jr. as a distinguished guest.
00:29:32We've had Johnny Saint as a distinguished guest.
00:29:34They're fans of Ring of Honor, of AEW, of MLP.
00:29:38They beat the invalid criticism, Don.
00:29:40Yeah.
00:29:41Look at this.
00:29:42Meanwhile, this test continues.
00:29:45Oh, straightjacket now for Swann.
00:29:46But it was Ricochet looking to break the grip by driving himself to the mat.
00:29:51And now Rich Swann with the upper hand.
00:29:55But look at Ricochet now trying to get back up to a vertical base.
00:29:59Still very early going.
00:30:01And now, whoa, beautiful.
00:30:04And the Tihara's by Swann.
00:30:07And look at Ricochet ends up on his feet.
00:30:09Leapfrog by Ricochet.
00:30:11Now action heating up.
00:30:13And Ricochet, Tihara's of his own.
00:30:15And Swann ends up on his feet.
00:30:16Misses with the dropkick.
00:30:18So does Ricochet.
00:30:19And now they both miss.
00:30:21This is what happens when you faced each other 75 previous times.
00:30:26How often does Ricochet see someone go move for move with him?
00:30:31Almost never.
00:30:32Oh!
00:30:33And Ricochet able to finally execute a high-impact move.
00:30:38I don't know why these rubes are booing Ricochet.
00:30:45Ricochet with the advantage, of course.
00:30:47On Wednesday, the demand takes on Kenny Omega.
00:30:51Jack Perry, the international champ.
00:30:54Beautiful takeover by Rich Swann.
00:30:56And another dropkick by Swann.
00:30:59He's now looking to take it to the air.
00:31:03Rich Swann.
00:31:03Oh, I thought he was looking for that.
00:31:05Maybe a Sasuke special or a space flying tiger drop.
00:31:09Instead, he's going to the apron.
00:31:11Ricochet.
00:31:12Oh, cannonball!
00:31:14Cannonball by Swann.
00:31:15And he lands on his feet.
00:31:17Swann makes it look easy.
00:31:19And trust me, ladies and gentlemen, it ain't easy.
00:31:22And we take a look here at the cannonball to the outside.
00:31:25It feels like Ricochet's mind is somewhere else, gentlemen.
00:31:28It feels like his mind might be on Wednesday.
00:31:30The demand versus Omega Perry and Brody King.
00:31:33And think about maybe where Kenny Omega's mind is at.
00:31:37Yeah, Ricochet's life hasn't been very easy lately.
00:31:40Losing that national title.
00:31:41And now on the receiving end of a knife-edge chop from Rich Swann,
00:31:47who good ring present there, breaks the count of the referee,
00:31:50and goes back to work on Ricochet.
00:31:52Oh, now on the outside.
00:31:58Oh!
00:32:00Stinging knife-edge chop by Swann.
00:32:05And Swann is just so poised right now.
00:32:08In control with one-third of the demand.
00:32:12Let's go, Ricochet!
00:32:14And the crowd, one voice chanting, let's go, Ricochet.
00:32:18One lone voice.
00:32:19What is the loneliest number?
00:32:21And Swann now, oh, driving Ricochet's skull into the top turnbuckle.
00:32:26I will say this.
00:32:27Ricochet's early attempts at slowing the match down took the crowd out of it,
00:32:31which is the huge benefit.
00:32:33Oh, oh!
00:32:34That Rich Swann takes out of these bouts.
00:32:36Five, six, seven, eight, nine.
00:32:38Hear that skin slapping, those knuckles hitting the skull of Ricochet.
00:32:42Oh!
00:32:43And on court, a haymaker.
00:32:46And Rich Swann in control in this one-on-one matchup with Ricochet as part of ROH and MLP's Global
00:32:56Wars.
00:32:59Oh, and the pie face there creates the separation.
00:33:04Oh!
00:33:04And the slap.
00:33:05He missed him.
00:33:06He missed him there.
00:33:07Maybe caught the point of the chin a bit.
00:33:10Oh!
00:33:10But he's not missing with these right hands.
00:33:12Rich Swann now putting the boots to Ricochet.
00:33:15What is this referee doing?
00:33:17Get your hands off the talent.
00:33:19Trying to maintain line order.
00:33:21Oh!
00:33:21Right across the middle rope.
00:33:23Throw first goes Swann.
00:33:24Well, no law and order for Don with that cash.
00:33:27Oh!
00:33:27Goodness!
00:33:29Beautiful corkscrew kick there by Ricochet.
00:33:32And that now buys him some time.
00:33:34By the way, I'm prepared to pay him 2% of land jam money.
00:33:39Let's take a look here.
00:33:40And he takes up, Kenny.
00:33:41The spinning kick almost decapitates Rich Swann.
00:33:45For our Canadian fans watching AEW heads your way,
00:33:50including Winnipeg, Edmington, and, of course,
00:33:52the big one in Vancouver on pay-per-view.
00:33:55My hometown, April 12th!
00:33:56Yeah!
00:33:56On pay-per-view.
00:33:57Oh, goodness!
00:33:58It was such a packed schedule.
00:34:00I think that's why Rich Swann has the advantage.
00:34:02I think Ricochet, between losing the title,
00:34:05between everything that's going to happen on time.
00:34:07Oh, goodness!
00:34:10Trying to, like, put on a cigarette.
00:34:12But he's found a role right now, though, Mauro.
00:34:15And this matchup between Ricochet and Rich Swann,
00:34:19presented by Windsor Express.
00:34:23And both of these guys are capable of being an Express in their own right.
00:34:29And now, Ricochet methodically putting the boots to Rich Swann,
00:34:34as you mentioned, Ian, slowing it down,
00:34:36taking the crowd out of this matchup.
00:34:39I think that's a huge part.
00:34:40Oh!
00:34:41Ricochet can win this bout.
00:34:46Controlling the pace, controlling the energy, perhaps more important.
00:34:49Oh!
00:34:51Nasty!
00:34:52Swann able to partially block that knife edge from Ricochet.
00:34:59And a snap!
00:35:00Oh!
00:35:01Plant, just like Alondar, just planted him into the mat there around ringside,
00:35:06an unforgiving mat left a skid mark on the ground there with Rich Swann's skull.
00:35:15And now, Ricochet content to take a respite while the referee administers the count.
00:35:21I wish we didn't see that replay because the skull and neck of Rich Swann severely impacted.
00:35:27You can see the sweat painting that maybe, what, a half-inch mat on the concrete floor there.
00:35:36Oh!
00:35:38Look at this.
00:35:39Continues to stomp away on Rich Swann.
00:35:43Ricochet exercising all of his demons against Swann.
00:35:51Not afraid to exercise the First Amendment, either with the referee.
00:35:57I love Ricochet's style, you know, so athletic, but he's not afraid to rough his opponents up.
00:36:06Looking for the Irish whip here.
00:36:09Start him first into the corner, and there's a northern lariat from Ricochet.
00:36:16And now it's firmly in control for Ricochet.
00:36:22Toying with Rich Swann at this point.
00:36:25And looking to, again, deliver some high impact.
00:36:28Start him first into the corner.
00:36:30Rich Swann still on his feet, and then gets...
00:36:33Just high impact with that knife-edge chop.
00:36:37Hit him so hard he hurt his own hand.
00:36:39Mm-hmm.
00:36:45And that's what Kenny Omega can expect, by the way, this week in Winnipeg.
00:36:50Making a lot of promises, Don.
00:36:53Irish...
00:36:53And again, I mean, Rich Swann's sturdom.
00:36:57Taking money back the running European uppercut there by Ricochet.
00:37:04Has Rich Swann right where he wants him.
00:37:08The only question in Ricochet's mind at this point is when.
00:37:12He believes this match to be won, or else he wouldn't be acting like this, I believe, Marl.
00:37:15Mm-hmm.
00:37:17And yet, have to be very careful, especially against a guy with the pedigree of Rich Swann,
00:37:23who's been there, done that.
00:37:25I think for Ricochet...
00:37:26And there it is, the great counter.
00:37:28Rich Swann is a guy who he feels maybe can match him athletically,
00:37:32so he's changed this into a street fight, and I like it.
00:37:35Oh, Ricochet again walks right into another big boot to the face from Rich Swann.
00:37:43Swann beginning to regroup.
00:37:45Launches Ricochet.
00:37:46Both roll.
00:37:47And there's a hooking, leaping lariat by Swann,
00:37:51driving Ricochet to the canvas, back first.
00:37:55And this could be the opportunity for Rich Swann to regroup, to catch his breath.
00:38:00We take another look.
00:38:01Hopping.
00:38:02Oh!
00:38:02Close line.
00:38:03Ricochet down.
00:38:05How much further along in the recovery process can Swann get with the jabs?
00:38:09Start rolling now.
00:38:10The southpaw with those jabs to the face of Ricochet, and it's all Rich Swann.
00:38:17Uh-oh.
00:38:17Duck under, and the neckbreaker by Swann.
00:38:20Swann so quick, just bounced up to his feet.
00:38:23Oh!
00:38:25Rolling thunder!
00:38:27There's a splash on!
00:38:29Ricochet good for a two-count.
00:38:31A beautiful sequence there from Rich Swann.
00:38:34Wow, what a match.
00:38:36Incredible stuff here between Ricochet and Rich Swann as advertised.
00:38:43Ricochet able to get to the ropes.
00:38:46Great ring awareness, but Swann, if he can stay on top of Ricochet, he can put an end to things
00:38:52here.
00:38:53Oh, but Ricochet has Swann now on the apron.
00:38:58Ricochet snapping the neck of Rich Swann off the top rope.
00:39:03And Ricochet looking to seize the opportunity here.
00:39:08Now both on the apron.
00:39:12Oh!
00:39:13Oh!
00:39:14Swann blocks that attack from Ricochet.
00:39:17And they'll step up into Geary by Swann.
00:39:19Ricochet, knee down, back to his feet.
00:39:23And they are in a precarious spot here on the apron.
00:39:27Run face lock here from Swann.
00:39:30Swann.
00:39:31Oh, the block by Ricochet.
00:39:33Yeah, nothing good can happen on the apron here, Morrow.
00:39:35No.
00:39:36Both of them jockeying for position.
00:39:38Swann lands back in the ring on his feet.
00:39:41Ducks under that right hand and lands a right of his own on Ricochet.
00:39:46Ricochet ducks underneath the clothesline.
00:39:48Oh!
00:39:49What a German suplex!
00:39:51As he turned!
00:39:53Swann inside out!
00:39:54Cabrata by Ricochet!
00:39:56Side press!
00:39:56Hooked the leg!
00:39:57And Swann able to kick out!
00:39:59And Rich...
00:39:59Outstanding!
00:40:01Shooting star press!
00:40:03Ricochet again with the hooking of the legs!
00:40:05And Swann still able to push his way out of a pinning predicament.
00:40:10And for the first time tonight, Ricochet looks frustrated.
00:40:15Yeah.
00:40:15Absolutely.
00:40:16Picking up the pace now.
00:40:17Trying to match the speed.
00:40:19Match the intensity of Rich Swann.
00:40:21Instead of taking it to him like a fight, as you mentioned earlier, Don.
00:40:25And both of them showing the effects of being in a fight.
00:40:31Oh, and that's just disrespect there.
00:40:35Again, I...
00:40:37Yeah.
00:40:38Oh!
00:40:39Another knife-edge chop from Ricochet.
00:40:42Yeah, he's toying with Rich Swann, and you've got to be careful.
00:40:48Obvious here, Ricochet feels like he's got him.
00:40:51He's toying with him.
00:40:55But as we've said on so many occasions, don't play with your food.
00:40:59Eat and move on.
00:41:01Absolutely.
00:41:02See that left eye swelling up just a little bit for Rich Swann.
00:41:07Ooh.
00:41:09Ricochet may have caught him.
00:41:11Whoa!
00:41:12Misses with that one in this time!
00:41:15Ricochet on the receiving end of this offensive onslaught from Swann.
00:41:19Ricochet trying to cover, but it's Swann who lands that forearm, that wrist shiver.
00:41:25Whoa!
00:41:26Walks right into the boot from Ricochet.
00:41:28Step up, Enzigiri by Swann.
00:41:30Oh, my goodness!
00:41:32What a move!
00:41:33And what a landing by Ricochet!
00:41:36Oh, big knee!
00:41:37Oh!
00:41:38Super kick by Swann.
00:41:40Oh!
00:41:40Good gracious!
00:41:41My goodness, Ricochet!
00:41:43What a sequence here!
00:41:44Oh, but it ends with Rich Swann and the Enzigiri!
00:41:49Fantastic stuff here!
00:41:51As Swann now goes all the way to the top turnbuckle.
00:41:54Ricochet lying on his back.
00:41:57Frog splash!
00:41:58This is going to be it!
00:41:59Let's go!
00:42:00Rich Swann with the win!
00:42:01No!
00:42:05Everything went right for Rich Swann.
00:42:08Nothing wrong with the execution down all the way up top.
00:42:11Rich Swann needs to follow up.
00:42:14Why is he waiting?
00:42:15Don't let Ricochet recover.
00:42:17Good point.
00:42:18And the crowd here now rallying behind Rich Swann, who should be going for the cover instead.
00:42:26Maybe trying to come up with a couple of moves, trying to stay ahead of Ricochet and put the
00:42:32finishing touches on what would be a huge victory for Rich Swann.
00:42:36And now it's like he's turning the tables in terms of the trash talking.
00:42:39Look at me!
00:42:42What's happening today?
00:42:44Oh!
00:42:45Roundhouse kick to the chest.
00:42:48Use the room!
00:42:50Wrestling!
00:42:52Use the room!
00:42:54No love lost.
00:42:55Stop talking.
00:42:56Between Swann and Ricochet, another roundhouse to the chest.
00:43:00Less talking, more kicking if you're Rich Swann.
00:43:03Get it!
00:43:04As Elvis said, a little less conversation, a little more action.
00:43:08And Rich Swann and Ricochet now exchanging these chops.
00:43:13Shades of Buda Ressu's strong style here between Ricochet and Rich Swann.
00:43:19And Ricochet, very successful tenure in New Japan Pro Wrestling.
00:43:24And Ricochet...
00:43:27Telling Rich Swann that he doesn't need the people, that he's better than Rich Swann without the people.
00:43:32Rich Swann...
00:43:33Pain crushing.
00:43:34Trying to get a little bit of the old Ricochet out.
00:43:37Man, they're both exchanging heavy shots.
00:43:43Wow!
00:43:44Back and forth we go!
00:43:51Auditioning for Power Slap, a Rich Swann and Ricochet.
00:43:56And the referee...
00:43:58Oh!
00:43:59In that moment, that Ricochet was looking for...
00:44:02There's a ferocious for our Northern Lights suplex float over into the full mount.
00:44:08Picks him up and...
00:44:09Boom!
00:44:11Swivels the hips.
00:44:12Still got him.
00:44:13Oh, revert...
00:44:14Oh, inverted face lock.
00:44:16Oh!
00:44:16And just driving him down with the one, two and a half.
00:44:22And Ricochet thought he had it won.
00:44:26The reserve on both men.
00:44:28We take a look at the replay.
00:44:30Driving Swann down.
00:44:32Sold!
00:44:36And the crowd chanting, this is awesome.
00:44:40Couldn't agree more with Windsor.
00:44:43Oh, no.
00:44:43Amaro.
00:44:44Amaro, look.
00:44:45Rich Swann gets back.
00:44:46His turn.
00:44:46The gun is loaded.
00:44:47Oh, spirit gun is loaded.
00:44:50Ricochet.
00:44:51No, he misses.
00:44:52It's Swann.
00:44:53Oh, beautiful poison runner by Swann.
00:44:56Oh, no.
00:44:56Oh, but a poison runner by Ricochet.
00:44:59Called Bell Biv Endovo.
00:45:00Oh, my goodness.
00:45:01What a lariat by Ricochet.
00:45:04Now has him off.
00:45:06Oh, Death Belly Driver.
00:45:07And goes for the cover.
00:45:09Two and...
00:45:10No!
00:45:11Back press.
00:45:13Not enough.
00:45:14What's it going to take to crown a winner here?
00:45:17The vertigo wasn't enough for Ricochet.
00:45:20The spirit gun shot a blank.
00:45:25Loaded back.
00:45:26Oh!
00:45:27What a vicious close line.
00:45:29And that is enough.
00:45:32What a match.
00:45:33What a win for Ricochet.
00:45:35And back in Winnipeg.
00:45:37Kenny Omega just peed in his panty-wanties watching that.
00:45:42Because he knows Ricochet is going to have a number.
00:45:44Ricochet.
00:45:46Incredible match has advertised their 76th encounter.
00:45:51Oh, my goodness.
00:45:52Living up to the billing.
00:45:53It lived up to the billing.
00:45:54The expectations sky high.
00:45:56Ricochet approaching this one a little bit different than the 75 previous encounters.
00:46:02Taking it to a street fight.
00:46:03Don, you called it.
00:46:04Getting Rich Swann out of his comfort zone.
00:46:07Sold-out crowd loved every minute of it, Don.
00:46:10Oh, my God.
00:46:11They saw a classic.
00:46:13And let's revisit some of the memorable action between Swann and Ricochet.
00:46:19The cannonball.
00:46:20The face wash.
00:46:22And just signs of disrespect.
00:46:24It was Swann who mounted this comeback midway through the bout.
00:46:28Made it on even slates.
00:46:29Ricochet, he turned up the intensity.
00:46:31Turned up the volume.
00:46:33And I thought right there, Don, that that was going to be in that huge frog splash halfway across the
00:46:38ring.
00:46:38But it wasn't.
00:46:41The Spirit God delivered.
00:46:43Plant Swann.
00:46:45Rich Swann has got nothing to be ashamed of.
00:46:48That was a fantastic match.
00:46:49He took Ricochet to the limit.
00:46:51But Ricochet is still Ricochet.
00:46:54And we're going to see it this Wednesday on Dynamite in Winnipeg.
00:46:57How much money was there, Don?
00:46:59How much, how much, think about how much you've made in your whole career.
00:47:03It's more than that.
00:47:04Oh, my goodness.
00:47:05What a night it has been here at Global Wars.
00:47:07And WrestleMania week MLP presents Multiverse in Sin City.
00:47:19This April.
00:47:24The eyes of the world lock in.
00:47:27One city.
00:47:29One week.
00:47:32No walls.
00:47:33No limits.
00:47:35When worlds collide.
00:47:36Somebody gotta fall.
00:47:39No safety net.
00:47:41No mercy at all.
00:47:43Step through the gate.
00:47:45In a war drums cry.
00:47:48Maple Leaf Pro.
00:47:49Where the strong survive.
00:47:51When worlds collide.
00:47:54Feel the shock wave rise.
00:47:56No protection.
00:47:58When the future divides.
00:48:01Multiverse.
00:48:03Yeah, the line's been drawn.
00:48:05Only the strong live on.
00:48:12Oh, it's the week where the planet tune in.
00:48:15Different bloodlines, same ring we move in.
00:48:17Forbidden doors, man, we tore those hinges.
00:48:19Old school legends meet killers with vengeance.
00:48:21Alliances shift like tectonic plates.
00:48:24Rivalries reborn.
00:48:25No time to wait.
00:48:26History said no.
00:48:27We answer.
00:48:27Watch now.
00:48:28The bridge between worlds about to unlock.
00:48:30No scripts, no shields, no saving face.
00:48:32Pressure turned diamonds inside this place.
00:48:34You wanted fantasy?
00:48:36Nah, it's real.
00:48:37When universe is classed, somebody kneel.
00:48:39Gateway open.
00:48:40Who stepped through first?
00:48:41Who fractured a future?
00:48:42Who blessed a curse?
00:48:43One night can rewrite fate.
00:48:45T.
00:48:45T.
00:48:46Here, Destiny.
00:48:47When worlds collide.
00:48:49Somebody gotta fall.
00:48:51No safety net.
00:48:53No mercy at all.
00:49:04Maple Leaf Pro Wrestling will be a part of WrestleMania week.
00:49:09Friday, April 17th, MLP presents Multiverse at the Pearl at the Palms in Sin City.
00:49:15A huge event coming up for Maple Leaf Pro Wrestling.
00:49:19Speaking of huge events, ROH has a super card of honor coming up.
00:49:23Absolutely.
00:49:23I'm excited to bring the news of the next huge ROH event to everyone watching all around the globe.
00:49:30That's right.
00:49:30Super card of honor comes your way Friday, May 15th.
00:49:34One of the biggest shows of the year.
00:49:36Witness the action as ROH takes over the Wicomico Civic Center on Friday, May 15th.
00:49:42Go to ringofhonor.com and sign up for ROH Insider for more details.
00:49:46Tomorrow, that's when champions from all around the world collide.
00:49:49But huge championship news here.
00:49:51Yeah, definitely another big event coming up tomorrow.
00:49:53Tonight here at St. Clair's College Uprising will feature the rematch between Giselle Shaw and Diana Purrazzo.
00:50:01This time, Shaw's MLP Canadian Women's Championship is on the line after she lost to Purrazzo tonight in the pure
00:50:10women's title match.
00:50:13And guys, I'm just getting word right now that in lieu of Josh Alexander's injury, the MLP Men's Canadian Championship,
00:50:24obviously the future now murky.
00:50:26I'm being told, though, that tomorrow night at Uprising, MLP will crown an interim MLP Men's Canadian champion.
00:50:36What?
00:50:37Jonathan Gresham, Psycho Mike, Stu Grayson, Rich Swann, Rohan Raja, and Steve Macklin will be buying for the interim crown.
00:50:47I don't like this at all.
00:50:49This is Josh Alexander's belt.
00:50:51I'm not usually a fan of interim titles.
00:50:53It could not be helped.
00:50:54But great news coming up.
00:50:55The main event to crown the inaugural MLP Tag Team Champions.
00:51:01Kaito Kiyomiya teams up with Bishop Dyer for the first time, taking on the multiple tag time champions, the Good
00:51:08Brothers.
00:51:09We've got Sheldon Gene and Bryce Hansen, and of course, from A-W-N-R-O-H-G-O-A.
00:51:16What a main event, man.
00:51:18That's coming up now.
00:51:20And here comes the Nomad.
00:51:22This is a four-way tag team match to crown the first MLP Canadian Tag Team Champions.
00:51:29Team number one, first wrestling out of Kansas City, Missouri, weighing 285 pounds.
00:51:35Nomad, Bishop Dyer.
00:51:41The heavy striker, power brawler, former Golden Gloves champion, a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu practitioner.
00:51:52Bishop Dyer teaming up for the first time with the Mad Prince, the ace of pro wrestling, Noah, Kaito Kiyomiya.
00:52:01His partner, wrestling out of Saitama, Japan, weighing 260 pounds, Kaito Kiyomiya.
00:52:11These two teaming up for the first time.
00:52:14Kiyomiya's had issues with the Goal Good Brothers in pro wrestling, Noah.
00:52:18And now all of a sudden he has a great equalizer in Bishop Dyer.
00:52:22Here's the deal.
00:52:24He's an equalizer, but I'm looking forward to a couple of other gentlemen that are about to come out.
00:52:30Team, you know very well.
00:52:36Well, I don't want to be a homer, but you've got to bet the hand that your money's on as
00:52:40the new pornographer.
00:52:41It's a great Canadian man, what's said, because my money is on this duo from ROH and AEW.
00:52:49The 524 pounds, they're representing AEW and the demand, Toa Leona, Bishop Khan, GOA.
00:53:01The GOA trying to win their first tag team titles.
00:53:07They're the only team with an AEW pinfall win over former AEW World Tag Team Champions, the Hurts Syndicate.
00:53:15Shout out to my man MVP.
00:53:18Well, the GOA also...
00:53:19You're not with MVP yet, you know me.
00:53:20That's right.
00:53:21The GOA, former two-thirds of the ROH World's six-man champions on multiple occasions.
00:53:29So they are in the championship pedigree, so to speak, as we enter our main event.
00:53:35Team number three at a combined weight of 420 pounds.
00:53:39They're representing MLP, Sheldon Gene and Bryce Hansen.
00:53:46Hansen and Gene have aligned with Brent Moneybanks.
00:53:49QT Marshall was instrumental in putting them together.
00:53:53And these two young up-and-comers representing MLP would love to make history as a first-ever MLP Tag
00:53:59Team Champion.
00:54:00Speaking of Tag Team Champions, one of the most dominant team in modern pro wrestling history about to make their
00:54:07way to the ring.
00:54:08Our famous Good Brothers!
00:54:17Team number four at a combined weight of 512 pounds.
00:54:22They're representing MLP, Luke Gallows, the Machine Gun, Carl Anderson, the Good Brothers!
00:54:34The Good Brothers have been champions in Japan, WWE, and now looking to become champions of MLP.
00:54:47You have to believe that considering their background, all their credentials, they've got to be the us-on favorite in
00:54:54this matchup.
00:54:54I know Don Kellisley.
00:54:56Highly decorated.
00:54:57We could spend all night talking about the accomplishments, the greatest of which was being managed by me in all
00:55:02the league wrestling, let's face it.
00:55:04They did indeed.
00:55:06They've appeared everywhere.
00:55:07They certainly have.
00:55:08And everywhere they go, Morrow, the success follows them.
00:55:11They're crafty.
00:55:12They're deliberate.
00:55:14But they also know when to strike.
00:55:16And there you see a great, interesting tag.
00:55:19Yeah, very much.
00:55:20You got the sub.
00:55:21There's what it's all about.
00:55:22First ever MLP Tag Team Champions.
00:55:25But you've got Dyer and Kiyomiya teaming for the first time.
00:55:28And it's a really surprising team.
00:55:31And yet they could be the ones to surprise us.
00:55:34Speaking of surprises, one surprise attack by GOA.
00:55:37And again, this is supposed to be traditional tag team rules.
00:55:41A team in each corner, but Aubrey Edwards already with her hands full.
00:55:45In this match, you've got three legitimate heavy-hitting big men in Toa as well as Gallows.
00:55:54And Dyer.
00:55:54As well as, that's right, Bishop Dyer.
00:55:57I'm anxious to see those three Bulls go at it tonight.
00:56:01While they're going at it right now.
00:56:02Going to get a taste of it right here.
00:56:04And again, Aubrey Edwards needs to maintain some law and order
00:56:08because this matchup already bedlam.
00:56:12And Aubrey maybe the best.
00:56:14And it's only pinfall submission.
00:56:15Again, you can't win by count-out or disqualification, but this is chaos.
00:56:20Right, and this is not elimination.
00:56:21This is one fall to a finish.
00:56:22Yeah, one fall to a finish or the submission to become first ever MLP Tag Team Champions.
00:56:28Sheldon Jean.
00:56:29Oh, there's Bryce Hansen.
00:56:31Oh, and there's Toa.
00:56:32Yeah.
00:56:33Oh, swing and a miss.
00:56:35Leona with that brute strength, a former defensive lineman at San Diego State University.
00:56:40Oh, my goodness.
00:56:42Toa still holds the Southern California bench press record of 630 pounds.
00:56:47And a 750-pound squat and 750-pound deadlift.
00:56:52Meanwhile, Bishop Kahn.
00:56:55Oh, suplex on the outside to Hansen.
00:56:59Ouch.
00:57:02Again, the match is anywhere but inside the ring.
00:57:06Yeah, and Aubrey's just going to have to let somebody take the center of the squared circle here.
00:57:11Oh, Gallows and...
00:57:12I haven't heard a bell yet.
00:57:13No.
00:57:14Gallows and Dyer, there's...
00:57:16He takes care of Bishop Kahn.
00:57:19Gallows reminds me more of a lot of a young Dick Murdoch in terms of the way he moves in
00:57:24the ring.
00:57:24Dirty Dick Murdoch, Ian Dusty Rhodes, the Texas Outlaws.
00:57:28What a tag team they were.
00:57:30And we've got tag team, well, chaos here right now.
00:57:35An interesting...
00:57:36Oh!
00:57:36The Sheldon Gene taken to the skies with the blood drop.
00:57:40Toa Bacon Hero by Anderson Pescano by Kiyomiya.
00:57:48Fireworks early, and now Kiyomiya and Carl Anderson.
00:57:53Anderson and Gallows have also appeared in Noah.
00:57:56Kiyomiya, three-time GHC Heavyweight Champion, including the youngest champion ever.
00:58:01Kiyomiya recognized three times over by Tokyo Sports, wrestler of the...
00:58:05Look at this!
00:58:06Oh, man!
00:58:07Strong style!
00:58:09Look at the snap on these four arms.
00:58:12And Kiyomiya, who's drawn a lot of comparisons, Don, to a man in your ranks.
00:58:17Nice drop down there.
00:58:20Big frog by Kiyomiya.
00:58:22Back elbow.
00:58:24Drops!
00:58:26Carl Anderson and the Mad Prince, Kaido Kiyomiya, in control.
00:58:32Almost like a hybrid of Kyle Fletcher and Kazuchika Okada in the early...
00:58:35What are you taught?
00:58:36...tag made in the developing stages.
00:58:39I mean, the accomplishments, three-time GHC Champion.
00:58:42Here's the team of Dyer and Kiyomiya working together.
00:58:46Dropkick and shoulder tackle.
00:58:48So already showing some tag team cohesion.
00:58:53Boom!
00:58:54Big shot from Nomad Bishop Dyer.
00:58:58Oh, tag no made!
00:58:59And here comes Bishop Kahn.
00:59:01And we discussed this more before we went on the air.
00:59:03The strategy's a little mixed here.
00:59:05It's Kiyomiya charging in.
00:59:06You want to stay in the ring unless you're in dire trouble.
00:59:09Unless you're really feeling it and you believe you're in danger to be pinned or submitted.
00:59:13You actually have to avoid being tagged out in a lot of cases.
00:59:16And this is where the Good Brothers have an advantage as a long-time tag team.
00:59:21Cut the ring in half.
00:59:22Get back to the basics.
00:59:25Front face block by Gallo.
00:59:27Suplexed by the big man.
00:59:29And Bishop Kahn in a supine position.
00:59:31Gallo's off the ropes.
00:59:32Drops the elbow to the chest of Kahn and does it again.
00:59:37And it's all Doc Gallo's.
00:59:40Gallo's does not get the credit he deserves for his athleticism.
00:59:45An incredible athlete for a man of his size.
00:59:48The same can be said, as you mentioned, the other two big men, Toy Leona and Bishop Dyer.
00:59:54But the tag made in comes machine gun Carl Anderson.
00:59:57And he is the brains and the, man, he's crafty.
01:00:00He's quick.
01:00:02Nice double team here.
01:00:03A real strength of the Good Brothers.
01:00:05Boot to the midsection.
01:00:07And there's the big boot from Carl Anderson.
01:00:09Goes for the cover.
01:00:10Side press.
01:00:10Hooks the inside leg.
01:00:11Only a two count.
01:00:14Talked about it briefly in our last bout.
01:00:16Of course, the demand.
01:00:18That huge six-man tag.
01:00:19Jack Perry, Kenny Omega, and Brody King.
01:00:22Wednesday night on Dynamite.
01:00:23But main event brought to you by Leona.
01:00:26Feel the power.
01:00:27And all of these individuals are going to be feeling the power here tonight.
01:00:31I'm feeling the power of GOA tonight.
01:00:34That's what I'm feeling.
01:00:36Well, GOA might not get to display that power.
01:00:38As we talked about more of that blind tag gets GOA out the ring.
01:00:41Oh, European uppercut by Carl Anderson.
01:00:45Irish whip on Hanson.
01:00:47Decks him with the elbow.
01:00:49And Anderson now wiping out the team there.
01:00:53Oh, but Hanson.
01:00:56Breaking the eyes of Carl Anderson.
01:00:59And there's a blind tag.
01:01:00And Bishop Kahn of the GOA is now the legal man.
01:01:05And Toa Leona takes out Hanson.
01:01:07Kahn taking out Dyer and Kiyomia.
01:01:10Oh, and Leona drives Gallows up the apron.
01:01:13Walk out.
01:01:14Oh, my goodness.
01:01:15It's like a wild rhinoceros just running around hurting people.
01:01:19The ring shook.
01:01:20Oh, yes.
01:01:21Oh, my God.
01:01:23And there's Kahn with the cover.
01:01:25Hooks the outside leg.
01:01:26Only a two-count GOA.
01:01:28One count away from becoming the first-ever MLP Tag Team Champions.
01:01:31Full mount here.
01:01:32Ground and pound by Kahn.
01:01:36Machine Gun trying to protect himself.
01:01:37Doing the best he can.
01:01:38And there's the hand-signed indicative of the demand.
01:01:41Yeah, the demand, of course, features Ricochet,
01:01:44who just won that incredible match over Rich Swann here at Global Wars.
01:01:48Ricochet and GOA, the demand.
01:01:50And their team now in control of this matchup.
01:01:54As Toa Leona, the legal man in against Machine Gun Carl Anderson.
01:01:58And Canada will be seeing a lot of the demand certainly coming up
01:02:01the next two Wednesdays here in Canada for our Canadian fans
01:02:04and coming your way in Winnipeg.
01:02:07But also, if they were to win the Canadian MLP Tag Team Championships,
01:02:13they're going to be...
01:02:13Oh!
01:02:14What a hero's here.
01:02:16Whoa.
01:02:19Wow.
01:02:20Big thunderous slam by Leona.
01:02:23What power.
01:02:24And that is what Kenny Omega...
01:02:27Oh, the nerve hold by Leona.
01:02:30Brody King and Jack Perry can expect this Wednesday in Winnipeg.
01:02:37Look at this, Leona.
01:02:38And we had some questions about maybe Ricochet looking too far ahead.
01:02:42I don't think the GOA are looking beyond right now, Morrow.
01:02:45The focus is there.
01:02:46The power is there.
01:02:46The strength is there.
01:02:47The game plan is there.
01:02:48Yeah, absolutely.
01:02:48They are fully invested in what is at stake in this matchup.
01:02:53All four teams.
01:02:53Jawbreaker there by Anderson to break the grip.
01:02:56The tag is made.
01:02:57Sidewalk savant.
01:02:58Sheldon Jean is now the legal man,
01:03:01and he continues now unloading on Anderson.
01:03:04Such a smart move to get himself and his team into the match.
01:03:07And smart move here to bring Anderson to his team's corner.
01:03:10And Hanson and Jean now in control as Hanson.
01:03:15Oh!
01:03:16Attacking GOA while he's at it.
01:03:19And Anderson clearly the most worn down man in this match.
01:03:23Yeah, he's in trouble.
01:03:25And Hanson and Jean now both putting the boots to Carl Anderson.
01:03:29Gallo's desperate to make it back into the match.
01:03:33Watch!
01:03:34Aubrey Edwards, the referee, has got her hands full here.
01:03:37Doing a great job, though.
01:03:39As...
01:03:40Arm ringer by Hanson.
01:03:42Suplex on Anderson.
01:03:44Hanson now lateral press, cross face.
01:03:46Didn't hook the leg, only got a two.
01:03:49Aubrey certainly would benefit from a second official out here
01:03:52in these chaotic matches as with any official.
01:03:55Hanson makes the tag.
01:03:56Now it's the sidewalks of on Jean back in
01:03:59as Hanson and Jean controlling the action in their corner.
01:04:04Whoa!
01:04:05Oh, Anderson trying desperately to fight out of the corner.
01:04:09Two against one.
01:04:10The numbers are too much.
01:04:11Snapmare by Jean.
01:04:13And the rear chin lock now just controlling.
01:04:16If you control the head, you control the body.
01:04:19Carl Anderson's got a history of neck issues,
01:04:22so this is smart.
01:04:24Make him carry the weight.
01:04:27And you can tell how desperate things are getting.
01:04:29Anderson was looking toward the GOA for attack.
01:04:31He doesn't even care if it's Gallo's at this point.
01:04:33He just needs to get out.
01:04:37The reorientation, though.
01:04:38Whoa!
01:04:39Anderson on his feet, momentarily dropped again by Jean.
01:04:41And Jean wipes out Gallo's in the corner
01:04:44and back on the attack.
01:04:45And now Anderson maneuvers Jean into the GOA corner,
01:04:50and they're now going to tag themselves in.
01:04:53Smart move to keep Anderson in there.
01:04:56So now, yeah, it's Toa Leona making the tag
01:04:59to his partner, Bishop Kahn.
01:05:02And Anderson is fading fast.
01:05:06Been out there way too long.
01:05:09And double-teamed now.
01:05:10GOA, here comes Toa Leona with the avalanche splash.
01:05:16And now, again, leverage and...
01:05:19Oh, full head of steam!
01:05:21This time Leona drives himself into the post.
01:05:23Anderson back on his feet.
01:05:25Shoots Kahn into the ropes.
01:05:27Anderson with a beautiful cutter by Anderson.
01:05:31And there's a neckbreaker by the machine gun.
01:05:33Carl Anderson is a complete wrestler,
01:05:35and we're seeing it now.
01:05:39Trying to find the corner here.
01:05:42Tag made!
01:05:44And don't forget, MLP debuts on TSN in July,
01:05:49and we will be taping June 12th and 13th,
01:05:53August 7th and 8th, right here on St. Clair College.
01:05:56Be a part of history.
01:05:58MLP on TSN coming this summer.
01:06:02Oh, Gallows wipes out Hanson.
01:06:04Near 7-foot man, 300 pounds, flying through the air, and then the power!
01:06:11Oh, jackhammer by Gallows!
01:06:14Oh, and Gene in to save his partner.
01:06:19Incredible hard-hitting action here for the crowning of the first-ever MLP Tag Team Champions.
01:06:26Keep your eye on Bishop Dyer.
01:06:28He looks fresh on the air.
01:06:30Kiyomiya wipes out Bishop Kahn, who made the tag.
01:06:33Kiyomiya now sending Kahn for the ride!
01:06:36Beautiful dropkick by Kiyomiya.
01:06:39The nip-up.
01:06:42The Mad Prince, three-time GHC Heavyweight Champion,
01:06:46and again, Dragon Screw Leg Whip on Gallows.
01:06:49He's had his problems with the Good Brothers and Noah.
01:06:52And now looking to control that.
01:06:54Oh, Kiyomiya sent back for fun.
01:06:56A jumping knee by Kiyomiya.
01:06:58And he's known for that Shining Wizard.
01:07:01Oh, and loading it up here.
01:07:04And there it is!
01:07:05Shining Wizard by Kiyomiya goes for the cover!
01:07:09And effortlessly, Toa Leona breaks the cover, but Dyer's seen enough.
01:07:14And Dyer just dropped Leona, and Dyer!
01:07:18End of day!
01:07:19Beautifully done there!
01:07:21Oh, these two behemoths.
01:07:23It's called!
01:07:24Shotgun dropkick!
01:07:26And Anderson, machine gun with his running ear.
01:07:29P&O!
01:07:30Forearm delivered!
01:07:31Hands it up!
01:07:32Kiyomiya!
01:07:33Step up, Shining Wizard!
01:07:35Shades of the Great Muna!
01:07:37End of day!
01:07:38Oh, my goodness!
01:07:40Headbutt by Leona!
01:07:41Like getting hit with a cannonball!
01:07:44Oh!
01:07:46Boy!
01:07:46And that was a cannonball of a kick by Gene!
01:07:48Look at the face!
01:07:49Look at the face!
01:07:50Oh, Leona misses!
01:07:51Oh, and there!
01:07:52End of day!
01:07:53For Leona Bishop-Dyer!
01:07:56Oh!
01:07:56But the leg lariat from Gene wipes up Dyer!
01:07:59Fireman's carry now!
01:08:00Oh!
01:08:00Into the lung blower!
01:08:03It's...
01:08:04Oh!
01:08:05Spine buster!
01:08:07By an Anderson, of course!
01:08:08Oh!
01:08:11And it's Gallows!
01:08:12Watch out!
01:08:13Oh!
01:08:14And that could be it!
01:08:16Oh!
01:08:17Shining Wizard!
01:08:17It's earned by Kiyomiya on Dyer!
01:08:21And it is absolute chaos at St. Clair's College!
01:08:29Kiyomiya on Dyer!
01:08:32Muda!
01:08:33The history there!
01:08:35Able to land!
01:08:38His signature move, which he has adopted the blessing, delivered straight to the skull!
01:08:44It has reset the match, it has reset the match, it has got Kiyomiya and Bishop Dwyer right back in
01:08:50this as Toa Leona now!
01:08:51And a sold out crowd here at St. Clair's College, riveted by the action, where we are making history in
01:08:59this main event!
01:09:00And there's Toa Leona fireman's carry!
01:09:05Oh, but the big uppercut from Doc Gallows, and Gallows, oh my god!
