00:001978 my father put a bull rope on his wrist set the standard for brutality
00:06you do not take a Texas bull rope match lightly I've had my share and you don't
00:13agree to it unless you're prepared to put your body through hell and drag your
00:19opponent with you Thunder Rosa embodies the Texas spirit a lifetime little
00:26warrior who looks each failure in the face and dares it to try again
00:31Diana Peralta is a ruthless mastermind she can break your limb knock you out
00:38and still won't stop until you beg 12 feet of raw rope a brass cowbell in
00:46between that has beaten generations of men and these two women on either end
00:52looking to make violent history Arlington ain't gonna be the same after
00:59this the voice of the legendary
01:22from the grand yards of Chihuahua, Mexico, the Pera Mera, Thunder Rosa!
01:32Thunder Rosa makes her home here in Texas in the San Antonio area we understand
01:38and coming in with the Texas flag while holding the bull rope
01:42still desperately trying to pan to the fans here she's already got an advantage
01:46I saw her talking to Dustin Rose early today trying to get some advice from the veteran
01:52well okay understandable that she would do that right I guess so if you want to
01:58get an unfair advantage why not it's a bull rope match you just take the cowbell
02:03hit your partner or your opponent over the head with it repeat it simple as
02:08that Tonio good thing you're not wrestling
02:14and her opponent from Hackettstown, New Jersey
02:18the virtuoso Tiana Perrazzo
02:26well there's no doubt Tiana Perrazzo has had enough with Thunder Rosa
02:30thanks last time for some help from Tanya Malfrey
02:35bottom line in the record books it will say Perrazzo was victorious
02:42will that be the case here tonight are we heard from Dustin
02:47we talk about 1978 the original Texas bull rope match with his father
02:52Dusty Rhodes, superstar Vinnie Graham
02:55and the natural took it on almost on his own he faced venerable veterans
02:59the likes of Terry Funk no less
03:02I did actually have a chance to talk to Dustin earlier tonight
03:05he told me that he told Thunder Rosa
03:08get ready to get ugly early
03:12so you certainly prepared early today Tony for this one
03:16so what you're saying I'm not saying anything
03:19what you're saying is you got an unfair advantage by talking Dustin on the commentary
03:23well I need it when I'm sat next to you Tony because you are a real encyclopedia
03:29yeah so by the way there's been many many varieties of the bull rope match
03:35through the years that Dustin talked about
03:38sometimes you drag your opponent to the corner touching all four
03:42this is a pinfall or submission bull rope match
03:45so the violence is going to come out
03:48and it doesn't look like Tiana Perrazzo is too anxious to get there
03:51as you see the cowbell
03:54the copper cowbell in the middle
03:58it's a war of sorts now between these two competitors
04:04a clothesline that time by Thunder Rosa
04:08two of them at time and a leg pick up
04:11sent out sent on that time by Thunder Rosa
04:14and there you go I didn't think it would take long
04:17long storied history between these two stars
04:21and their beginning show of respect
04:24certainly won't last long
04:28now Perrazzo
04:30in this one Tony you've seen a lot of bull rope matches
04:33what would you say the strategy is best here
04:35the strategy best is to try to do what they've been doing
04:38and that is gather up as much of the rope as you can
04:41to where you have control of the cowbell
04:43and the cowbell is what you can use
04:45obviously you can use the rope to rub across the forehead
04:49or create rope burns or whatever
04:51but it's the cowbell that does the most damage
04:55and by the way this is the first career bull rope match
04:58for both these young ladies
05:00oh brother
05:01and why not use those steel steps
05:03those steel steps
05:04they have become such a weapon here in AEW
05:07certainly cumbersome
05:09what better place to have a Texas bull rope match
05:13than right here in Texas
05:15Texas born Texas bred
05:17what do they say
05:19when I die I'll be Texas dead is what they say
05:23by the way Thunder Rosa since returning from her injury
05:27of 495 days
05:2915 and 4 since that time
05:31well how about that
05:32the big backstabber that time
05:34both knees in the back of Diana Perrazzo
05:38she's going to try to tie Diana up
05:41nope she's going to go up top
05:45that cowbell is hanging for a second
05:48precariously between the two
05:50but all right now
05:51Thunder Rosa
05:53all right now she's in a bad way here Nigel
05:55she's caught in the cross hairs
05:59of the Virtuosa
06:01moved out of the way for the Virtuosa
06:03slid underneath
06:05and is going to try to pull now
06:07well thought she was going to pull her on the outside
06:09yep that's what she's trying to do
06:11got obviously a tug of war here
06:13with that rip hose for cleanup
06:15that's dangerous for both ladies
06:17the thing of a bull rope match Tony
06:19is you can't get
06:21any further than 12 feet away from your opponent
06:24so there's no time outs
06:26there's no taking any space
06:28any respite
06:30and we might start to see
06:32there it is
06:33yes sir
06:34that's it it's over
06:35controlling the cowbell
06:36your winner
06:38the Virtuosa Diana Perrazzo
06:40it is not over
06:41you know if that is not over as right
06:43I thought that was how you win
06:46okay
06:47certainly a big step closer to it
06:51Perrazzo
06:53draws first blood
06:55she draws first blood

08:59human being
09:00you know that
09:01I beg to differ
09:04and meanwhile in the ring
09:06as you can tell that cowbell
09:08has made the difference thus far
09:09because it is all now
09:11Diana Perrazzo
09:15and she's just taking her time here
09:17you see the table and the chairs
09:19being brought into the ring

09:25as Mike Posey is checking in

09:52and no
09:54as this Texas bull rub goes on
09:56between these two ladies
09:59who have become arch enemies
10:01over the past few months
10:02here in AEW
10:03Tony has picked up some gravitas now
10:06after Perrazzo
10:10Perrazzo hits head first
10:12into a chair
10:14I don't know if it's the blood or what
10:15but right now Thunder Rosa's gone crazy
10:22good lord there's no need for that
10:24that was her drop kick
10:25but many times as you know
10:26she runs all the way from the other side of the ring
10:28she could not
10:30being tied to a bull rub
10:32but she still had kind of effect
10:34with that kick
10:35that didn't stop that kick in the
10:38back of Diana Perrazzo's head
10:40here it is once again Nigel
10:42just here
10:44vicious

13:01without being 3
13:03certainly Perrazzo now in the driver's seat
13:06we heard from her earlier this week
13:08when she disagreed with the old adage
13:11that nothing good ever comes of violence
13:14she said she was going to summon a symphony of violence
