Submitted by reader Stanley Kosek from yesterday’s television tapings in Chicago
– Tenille Dashwood defeated Karen Q
This was a decent opener. Dashwood got a good reaction and won with a reversal.
– Jushin Thunder Liger & Cheeseburger defeated The Dawgs (Rhett Titus & Will Ferrara)
Liger was over big. They had a well-worked match, with Liger getting the win with a brainbuster.
– Women of Honor Champion Sumie Sakai defeated Jenny Rose to retain her title
Good match with some stiff spots, ending when Sakai retained with what looked like a swinging neckbreaker. The crowd was really into this.
– ROH Tag Team Champions The Briscoes defeated Roppongi 3K (Sho & Yoh) to retain their titles
Jay Briscoe got the win with a Jay Driller. They had a good match but didn’t click together as well as I thought they would.
– ROH Television Champion Silas Young defeated Austin Aries by DQ
Young was great in this. There was a false finish where Kenny King got involved and there was a belt shot on Young after a ref bump, with Aries at first getting the pin before the decision was overturned.
– Cody Rhodes entered for a heel interview segment before Marty Scurll came out and they went back and forth. It ended with a handshake, but Scurll teased a finger-break spot prior to that.
– Flip Gordon defeated Jonathan Gresham
Gordon picked up the victory with a stunner off the ropes after a solid match where they did a decent amount of mat wrestling.
Bully Ray then came out and confronted Gordon, apologizing for being hard on him. Bully Ray mentioned Gordon being from Montana and gave him respect for his military service. They shook hands, but, of course, Bully turned and kicked him, calling him a “stupid young boy.”
– Kelly Klein defeated Deonna Purrazzo
Purrazzo was over with the audience and would have won, but there was a ref bump that led to Klein submitting her. This was an okay match that was sloppy at points.
– SoCal Uncensored (Christopher Daniels, Frankie Kazarian & Scorpio Sky) defeated ROH Six-Man Tag Team Champions The Kingdom (Matt Taven, Vinny Marseglia & TK O’Ryan) by DQ
After a good match that struggled to connect with the crowd, there was a weird chair shot ending for the disqualification.
– Kenny King defeated Chuck Taylor
Very fun match. Taylor connected with the fans well.
– Shane Taylor defeated Josh Woods
Taylor won with a closed-fist punch.
– The Bullet Club (Cody, The Young Bucks, Marty Scurll & Hangman Page) defeated Los Ingobernables de Japon (Tetsuya Naito, EVIL, SANADA, BUSHI & Hiromu Takahashi)
They did lots of crowd work and big spots. Everyone was over, and the Bullet Club won with a Meltzer Driver on BUSHI. Dalton Castle and The Boys were announced before the match and were on commentary.
