ROH World Six-Man Tag Team Championship Proving Ground Match
The Premier Athletes (Mark Sterling, Ariya Daivari, & Tony Nese) vs. Dustin Rhodes & The Von Erichs (Ross & Marshall Von Erich)

ROH made a mistake leaving the Ref’s name out of the “title” of this match. It would definitely put it over the top to win all the “Longest Match Title Including All Participants” awards. Any way, lots of wrestlers notwithstanding, this was a Proving Ground match which meant that the Premier Athletes simply had to pin the champs or last to the 10 minute time limit. If they were successful, they’d get a shot at those six-man belts.

So, for some reason, Mark Sterling was the third member of the Premier Athletes team. Before the match, he claimed that he’d been assured that no one would touch him. So already, it was 3 on 2. Marshall and Daivari started things off with a healthy dose of jawing and technical moves. Sterling entered the match and actually body slammed Ross, but bolted pretty quickly afterwards.

The match was pretty straightforward. The von Erichs did a lot of the heavy lifting and Rhodes played his greatest hits. Sterling for his part injected some dastardly humor to the match, even fninding himself facing off with Rhodes at one point. But no one really explained why he was there instead of Josh Woods. Regardless, everyone in the match worked well.

Sterling tried to pay off Rhodes to avoid a beating with about three minutes left in the match. The Von Erichs weren’t having it though and neutralized Nese and Daivari with dual Claws while Rhodes delivered Shattered Dreams to Sterling. Rhodes got the pin off of that to win the match

Winner: Dustin Rhodes & The Von Erichs via Pinfall.

Nyla Rose vs. Katie Arquette

Rose’s last televised ROH match was way back in May of this year, but she’s been keeping herself busy on Dynamite and Collision. When she left, there was some unfinished business with ROH Women’s Champion Athena, so there’s a definite possibility that Rose is going to be looking to get involved in that title scene, which hopefully will pit her against Abadon at some point. 

Arquette did her best to survive in this match, but Rose tossed her around like a rag doll. Rose hit her with a big cannonball, followed by a senton and a Beast Bomb. That was it. Rose got the win.

Winner: Nyla Rose via Pinfall.

Backstage: Lexy Nair, Billie Starkz, Athena, Abadon

Backstage Lexy Nair interviewed ROH Women’s World Champion Athena. The Minions are planning a celebration to honor Athena’s status as the longest reigning champion in ROH history. Starkz was cranky though and Athena called her out. Starkz snapped and yelled at Athena, saying she left her high and dry last week. Athena uninvited Starkz to the celebration and she sulked off. Suddenly, Abadon appeared behind Athena. She reached out, but the champ didn’t notice her. I think it was supposed to be creepy.

Anthony Henry & BEEF vs. Anthony Catena & Wes Barkley

Henry is still annoyed by his overly enthusiastic cousin, Beef. Henry’s Workhorsemen partner , JD Drake, might be coming back to their team soon, so it makes one wonder if there will be a clash between Beef and Drake with Henry caught in the middle. 

Barkley and Henry started things off and it was fine, but the crowd really woke up when BEEF entered the ring. He faced off against Catena and no-sold the bigger man, screaming at him while Henry took over and ate a neckbreaker from Catena. Barkley, a local hero, found himself alone with Henry. BEEF jumped in and took on both opponents to “save” his cousin.

BEEF hit a “sloppy steak” (kind of a Suicide 619) and Henry got a big double stomp on the legal man to win the match. BEEF and Henry are still undefeated in ROH.

Winner: Anthony Henry & BEEF via Pinfall.

The Infantry (Carlie Bravo & Capt. Shawn Dean) vs. The Outrunners (Truth Magnum & Turbo Floyd)

Last week the Iron Savages and Jacked Jameson expressed their displeasure with the Outrunners, calling them “meat riders.” So, do with that what you will. Across the ring, The Infantry, who failed to win the ROH Tag titles back in July, but picked up a win over Spanish Announce Project two weeks ago. These two teams have a common enemy in the Savages and seem to have become friends.

This match was great. Two babyface teams that the crowd loved doing the stuff they do best. The Outrunners posed and mugged for the crowd and the Infantry’s athletic style was awesome to watch against the beefier Outrunners.

Floyd kept up with the speed of the Infantry, rolling Dean into a really cool looking armbar. Bravo and Magnum weren’t to be left out though, with the two countering each other though a good stretch. Bravo started to get a little frustrated and became more aggressive than usual, delivering some deadly chops to Magnum.

A hot tag to Floyd got a big cheer from the crowd as he cleared the ring with Body Slams. He got a little carried away though and the Infantry tried to set up Boot Camp. Magnum grabbed Bravo though, and the Outrunners managed to land Totall Recall to get the win.

Winner: The Outrunners via Pinfall.

After the match, there was a respectful Code of Honor, but the Infantry left a little abruptly, suggesting all might not be well with these two teams.

Backstage: BEEF, Anthony Henry

BEEF and Anthony Henry cut a promo in the back. BEEF was excited to film a Tag Team Promo, but Henry assured him that they were not a tag team. JD Drake is Henry’s tag team partner, and that’s it. BEEF begged to meet Drake and Henry shut him down.

ROH Joe vs. Kenta 2005
Samoa Joe vs. Kenta Kobashi

Next, something different happened. They showed one of the proclaimed greatest matches in ROH history, Kenta Kobashi vs Samoa Joe from Jan 10th, 2005 in New York City. Ian Riccaboni and Caprice Coleman did new commentary over the classic footage which was really fun and made it feel like it was happening live.

Winner: Kenta Kobashi via Pinfall.

ROH World Championship
Matt Taven vs. Mark Briscoe (c)

This was the fifth defense of the ROH World Title for Briscoe, against one half of the former ROH Tag Champions in Taven. Taven and his partner Bennett lost those titles to Dustin Rhodes and Sammy Guevara in an absolutely brutal Bunkhouse Brawl match on Collision. To be honest, I had no idea WHY this match was happening but I was darn sure glad that it did. 

The Match started off fast with Taven going right for a fistfull of tights right off of the bell. It was only a two count, but it riled up Briscoe something fierce. He rained down with some Redneck Kung Fu and tried to be respectful of his opponent, but Taven took advantage of that niceness every time.

Bennett tried to get involved, distracting the ref to try and give Taven an upper hand. Briscoe had it scouted though and responded with a big Blockbuster off the ring apron (the hardest part of the ring). Briscoe set Taven up for a Froggy Bow, but Taven dodged and took control. Briscoe fought back with more Redneck Kung Fu, but ate a huge superkick from Taven out of the corner.

Taven managed a Just The Tip knee strike, but Briscoe kicked out at two. Briscoe also kicked out of the follow up Aurora Borealis. Taven went up for a second one, but Briscoe got the knees up, knocking the wind out of Taven. From there he tried a Froggy, but Taven got HIS knees up, leaving both men on their backs in the ring.

The two staggered up and after a quick back and forth, Briscoe called for the Jay Driller and executed it perfectly, putting Taven down clean.

Winner: Mark Briscoe via Pinfall to retain the ROH World Championship.
