Scurll eliminated the second of King who was dressed like him and King at first. King fought back and took control of the action.

WINNER: Marty Scurll at 13:00 (** ¼)

(Radican analysis: We have our first questionable finish on a ROH PPV.) What a shock .It was solid, but nothing spectacular.This effectively puts an end to King's assertion, statement # 1, that ROH built since November.)

(2) ROH TV WORLD CHAMPION JEFF COBB vs.. SHANE TAYLOR

They went hot and heavy right away. Cobb took Taylor, but he got up. They started trading again, but Cobb caught him with a big suplex.

WINNER: Jeff Cobb at 2:00 PM to keep the ROH World TV Championship (*** ½)

(Radican Analysis: It was the first time I saw something really great about Taylor, he had excellent chemistry with Cobb and Cobb looks like someone who can have a great match with pretty much n & # 39; It does not matter who now, it's like he's good in the ring now.)

A video was broadcast highlighting the Mayu Iwatani Championship match against Kelly Klein WOH.

(3) CHAMPION OF WOH MAYU IWATANI (with Sumie Sakai) against KELLY KLEIN (with Camp Klein)

Klein immediately took over and went to work on Iwatani. Klein took over Iwatani and hit the mountain several times. Iwatani pushed back Klein, but she got up and hit Iwatani's stomach again. Iwatani fought back and removed Klein with a pair of Sling Blades. Iwatani walked on Klein's belly, then fell from the top and hit twice as hard. Iwatani hit a blow and told Klein to wear it. Klein fought back and took over because Iwatani could not surpass her. They started trading and the crowd did not care. This match seems to be a bit in terms of being smooth. Klein grabbed a kick and sent Iwatani to the ground. They exchanged Germans shortly after and the two women were down. Iwatani sold Klein's German incredibly.

Iwatani hit Klein on the head shortly afterwards. She went upstairs and hit a moon. She went up again, but Klein knelt down for the second. Klein HIt K Power, but Iwatani was expelled at the last second. Klein pulled out her mouthguard, but Iwatani wrapped her up for a charge. Klein grabbed Iwatani with a big lasso. Sakai had Klein with a small package out of nowhere for the win.

Winner: Mayu Iwatani at 9:00 to retain the WOH champion title (**)

(Radican's analysis: It was good, nothing seemed exciting and the crowd was flat for most of them.)

Matt Taven then intervened to interrupt what was to be Lifeblood vs. The Kingdom. Taven said he could not wait for his shot for the ROH World Title. He said that he was ready now to deal with Lethal. Lethal's music played and he went down the ring and the referee said he was ready. Bobby Cruise made the official presentations and the match was on.

The two men chewed and started to exchange shots. They did not follow the code of honor. Lethal took over.

Marseglia has a table under the ring. Haskins and Williams came to save. They were carrying a bat and a chair. The kingdom ran to the back and Lifeblood followed.

WINNER: No winner at 60:00, the match being declared a draw. Jay Lethal retains the ROH World Championship (**)

(Radican analysis: It was slow and boring for most, but it was late, I took advantage of the last ten minutes of the match, there was no reason for this match to go as far as to establish ostensibly a triple threat to the MSG between Lethal, Taven and Scurll.)

Lethal and Taven got up. They looked at each other and Taven threw a piece of banner at Lethal's face before being helped in the back.

They turned to a video package for G1 Supercard from ROH. Ian Riccaboni introduced Mega Ran, who will perform for ROH at G1 Supercard. Mega Ran is out with her partner. He asked the crowd to make noise for what they saw for what they have seen so far. He threw treats in the car. He asked the fans to applaud and they did not seem too enthusiastic. Mega Ran then played Going to the Garden. Bully Ray came down and ended his performance.

Bully spoke to them. Ran said that he would have finished it he had not interrupted it. Ray tried to say that Ran was fat without calling him big. Ray stated that he had probably played games and stated that he was probably using it as a character. Ran said that he played the role of D-Von. Bully Ray pushed Ran and his partner and told them to go out. Ray said that he's not cold-eyed. Ray asked what they would know to go to the garden. Ray said he was the only guy to play at MSG. Ray said everyone should kiss his ass. He told a couple of young children that he was going to hit them in the face. Ray said that no one was ready to face him at MSG. The fans chanted Flip. Ray said you mean the guy with the knee broken. Ray has launched an open challenge to all players in the fight. Ray said that he wanted a street fight in New York. Ray said you know exactly who I'm talking to. He said, I'll see you in the garden, Punk. Ray's challenge was very specific.

(5) BANDIDO vs. RUSH

Dalton Castle has joined the comment table. Fans chanted for both men. RUSH refused to follow the code of honor and rejected Bandido's handshake attempt. They went to a quick exchange off the ropes and traded arm dredges. They both went for dropkicks at the same time and found themselves in a dead end. Bandido sent RUSH to the ground and jumped off the apron, but RUSH grabbed him and threw him across the table. WOW! RUSH grabbed a chair but the umpire forced him to throw it aside.

They went on the apron and Bandido hit a hurricane on the move. They came and went and Bandido hit a modified GTS. He charged RUSH, who put him in the turnbuckles. RUSH hit the Bull Horns in the corner to get the win.

WINNER: RUSH at 15:00 (*** ½)

Radican Analysis: It was really fun while it lasted, but the crowd did not seem to like it very much. Castle added a little enthusiasm to the comment.

After the match, Castle entered the ring after telling Riccaboni that he had a great idea. Castle says that Rush is like a mountain of meat. He says since his arrival at ROH that he is undefeated. He said that he sees a challenge to RUSH. Castle said that he wanted a game against RUSH at G1 Supercard. RUSH grabbed Castle's microphone. He asked Castle who he was. RUSH said that he did not care if he wanted it one by one. He then spoke in Spanish. He said remember that nothing happens. They went face to face. Riccaboni said that he thought the challenge had been accepted. RUSH grabbed a chair but did not attack Castle.

Riccaboni said that he had some updates. He said that since Gresham had been taken away and back, Young had asked him if he wanted to go there. Young then pulled out his leg. We will not see this game. The Kingdom has left the building and we will not see their first leg. Riccaboni said he was given time to complete his main event. Silas Young joined the team of commentators.

(6) ROH WORLD TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS THE BRISCOES (MARK & JAY BRISCOE) vs. VILLAIN ENTERPRISES (PCO & BRODY KING) – LAS VEGAS STREET FIGHT

Both teams ran out and started throwing chairs into the ring and the fans fired. Al four men grabbed chairs and began to swing. Advertisers noted that King was struggling with a broken hand during his tour of Australia. The Briscos got the upper hand and started working on King. King fought back and eliminated Jay with a dive at the top. PCO grabbed Mark on the apron and made him cross a table. King worked on Jay inside the ring and nailed him with hard chops. Jay had installed a chair against his leg in the corner and King had nailed him from a chair to the leg. Mark hit the BCP with a Kendo stick from outside, but the BCP did not sell it and sued him. Mark managed to knock down the BCP over the barricade when he accused him.

Jay went to sleep on King, who was the only one to win the ring. Mark then entered and hit him with the chair. The Briscos returned to work on King. The Briscos set up a table and a chair in the corners of the ring. King opposed Jay and sent him to the chair in the corner. He then hit a big DVD on Mark that sent him across a table in a corner. Jay came in bleeding. Both teams fought on the ground. PCO went after Jay's cup. King threw Jay at PCO giving him a broken piece of table in his head. Jay had a Kendo stick and eliminated PCO and King. Mark was holding King, but Jay accidentally hit him with the stick. King took the baton and went to work on the Briscoes. The PCO loaded the Briscoes, who placed him on the apron. Jay blew like crazy when fans chanted Man Up. The Briscoes eliminated King and the PCO was fired back in the front row. The Briscoes double once again teamed up with King and shot him down.

Jay looked like a crazy man while he was working on KIng inside the ring. Advertisers said that there was blood everywhere in the ring. Mark set up two tables side by side on the floor. King is beaten with Jay on the apron. He kicked Jay back into the ring, but Mark came in first and hit him with a blockbuster through both tables. Jay hit a driller on King, but he turned two. Both Briscoes got a cane from Singapore. They nailed the king with them again and again and he told them to bring him. King then took a double cane strike in front and back. PCO went back into the ring and sold several canes of Mark and Jay. The BCP broke both sticks of Kendo and cleaned them with a double clothesline. PCO tried to wake up King. Mark knocked King with the broken end of one of the sticks. He then took it to the chest of the PCO. It seemed that the PCO had been stabbed.

King threw Mark over a stack of chairs on the floor. It looked brutal. Jay gave King a blow on the apron. They were coming and going and King was hitting Jay on a stream of plumbers sending him back across the table. It seemed dangerous. King installed a chair on Jay and the BCP managed to defeat a moon moon.

WINNERS: PCO and Brody King to become new ROH World Cup team champions (*** ½)

(Radican's analysis: It was hard to watch from time to time with all the blood and the dangerous stunts.) Kings' turn over Jay late in the game, from the deck to the floor, seemed really dangerous. now replace the Briscos by facing God This was certainly a big win for Villain Enterprises and the highlight of the series, although it is a long and exhausting card.)

The fans chanted PCO's words after the match, while Riccaboni wondered who would be IWGP Hvt. The team champions are heading to the G1 Supercard at MSG next month.

General Thoughts: (n / a) – I will update my score tomorrow. It is difficult to deal with what happened during this event after half an hour late on his schedule. The series was pretty good at times with some good matches, but having Letall and Taven go for a 60-minute draw had the effect of slowing down the show and hurting the games that followed.

They announced matches on Twitter during the show that should have been more targeted, like Jeff Cobb vs. Will Ospreay, almost advertised as what appeared to be an afterthought. With the fallout of Taven against Lethal, it seems that ROH will host a Triple Threat match at MSG for the ROH World Title. Scurll will win the world title after the end of Lethal vs. Taven.

This show was sparking and the booking seemed really nonsense when the company really had to click on all the cylinders leading to MSG, it's like she was walking without moving. Castle vs RUSH at MSG? It's not very exciting. RUSH against Bandido was very good, but the crowd was still recovering from Taven against Lethal. I do not know who Bully Ray is facing, so it's hard to get upset for his mysterious NYC Street Fight match. The main event put an end to the show on a positive note, though it was sometimes excessively dangerous and Jay blew like crazy. The fact that the Briscoes are not champions of the upcoming team in the MSG series is also a very strange decision.
