00:00Welcome everybody to a very exciting edition of Rick and Body Wrestling, Ian Rick and Body Caprice Coleman, Supercard in the rear room here, but we're forging on.
00:26We're approaching our great match, lines up tonight, but you know what, you've got to go back and watch Supercard of Honor, watch it on Honor Club, so many changes, so many things happen, and you've got to keep up, but tonight we have a huge card in store for you.
00:40It was a huge weekend for both Athena and Dustin Rhodes, the forever All-Way champion betting on herself, the natural adding some more gold.
00:47To what may have been one of the greatest matches in Ring of Honor history, and still, your Ring of Honor World Champion, the most wanted, Bandito.
00:59But there was a man who emerged to challenge the Ring of Honor World Champion, that man, Ed Gecero, is in action here tonight, going one-on-one against SAP's on Helico.
01:09Back in the house from a long-awaited return is Diamante, and she has her hands full with a lady that's trying to get her mark in Ring of Honor, Maya World.
01:18And you talk about Mark in Ring of Honor, a man who's held Ring of Honor Gold for over 2,000 combined days, the franchise, Jay Lethal, here in Ring of Honor, goes one-on-one against the Red Pro British champion, Michael Oku.
01:30These two may have not won $50,000, but they definitely have gold in their future. Which one will get it first, Lee Johnson or Atlantis Jr.?
01:38And that match is kicking things up!
01:41And I can't wait to see these two perennial world television title contenders meet one-on-one.
01:50This match is set for one ball in a 20-minute time with it.
01:53Introducing first to be accompanied by Blake Christian.
01:56West kind of Atlanta, Georgia, weighing 189 pounds, Big Shotty Lee Johnson!
02:04Big Shotty Lee Johnson accompanied by Blake Christian, who had quite the victory in his own right to kick things off on Zero Hour.
02:14But Big Shotty was in that four-corner match for the $50,000 Caprice. Those matches, so difficult to win, you could lose it by not even figuring into the decision.
02:23You're right, man. Having to have eyes everywhere in that match, even on your opponent at all times, man. It's just so hard to win those matches.
02:31But A.R. Fox got it done, and we ain't good that night.
02:35Whenever the money's on the line, A.R. Fox steps up.
02:39And whenever the titles are on the line, this former world television champion does as well.
02:44It's opponent, Prescott of Mexico, City, Mexico, weighing 87 kilos, Atlantis Jr.
02:53Always great to see one of the real blue chips of CMRL Atlantis Jr. in the house.
03:01Former All-Wage World Television Champion.
03:03I see what you did there, Rick Albani, with the blue chip.
03:05I like the way we see him evolving in front of us, man.
03:09It's almost as if we can see the things that he's changing with his outfit, his gear, the cultural references, the heritage of his family.
03:17Never know what we're going to see, but it's always better.
03:19Atlantis Jr. certainly was a thrill to see him tag with his father, Atlantis.
03:30The code of honor I adhered to, and Atlantis Jr., of course, representing CMLL.
03:35But with all-in and Supercard of Honor in the rear view, the next huge event from AEW comes your way in London, England.
03:42The O2 Arena, Sunday, August 24th.
03:44AEW and New Japan Pro Wrestling present Forbidden Door.
03:49But before we get there, it's AEW Dynamite and Collision from Glasgow, Scotland.
03:53The OVO Hydro live Wednesday, August 20th.
03:56Tickets available now for AEW's Scotland debut, and tickets moving fast for Forbidden Door.
04:02It's been like a good hammer lock to start things off.
04:05Atlantis Jr. had a lot of control over Lee Johnson.
04:08Still trying to bait for control here.
04:10Lee Johnson reversed that hammer lock.
04:12Back into the arm position, trying to gain control.
04:15Still a filling-out process.
04:17Certainly here, and so critical as we saw, especially in that world television title battle.
04:21We talked about these two men, Caprice, being perennial TV title contenders, former TV champion Atlantis.
04:27But Nick Wayne coming out on top against a man who seemingly had his number in CMLL's Teton,
04:33and then the very next night, turning his back on his quote-unquote father, Christian.
04:39I wonder was he going to do that anyway, like whether he won the titles or not.
04:42Oh!
04:43Well, Mother Wayne certainly implied that that was all part of the plan.
04:47And wow, flying head scissor from the former world television champion.
04:51And Atlantis Jr. now looking to fly!
04:59But it's hit first, man, like a torpedo to the outside of the ring.
05:03You see right there that Atlantis Jr. touching the top of his head.
05:07Make sure he wasn't bleeding.
05:08And Atlantis Jr. now stalking big shotty Lee Johnson.
05:16Gave up a lot of his skull.
05:18You're right, Caprice.
05:19But really effective there, and Johnson still rattled, trying to find a neutral corner.
05:26Oh!
05:29Going Atlantis, maybe calling for one more here.
05:34Looking for the Irish whip.
05:35No, it's Lee Johnson into the corner.
05:37Charging in.
05:40And Johnson looking for that ripcord.
05:42Yeah, Atlantis is holding on to that, man.
05:44He didn't want any part of that at ripcord.
05:46Oh, wait, wait, wait, wait!
05:47The second!
05:49Blake Christian!
05:52Who's certainly feeling confident following that gigantic victory
05:55against the former world champion last Friday.
06:00Tell you what, man, if you're going to assist your friends,
06:03there are better ways to do it.
06:04That was out of nowhere, man.
06:06Wow!
06:07I'll tell you, this new attitude from both these young men.
06:10We've seen them on collision.
06:12We've seen them on dynamite really stepping up their game against some of the best.
06:15Doing it now in Ring of Honor.
06:17And how powerful of an ally has Blake Christian become to Lee Johnson?
06:21Well, you can see what Blake Christian has been doing lately.
06:23You know, it's a testament of itself.
06:26Cover.
06:27Two.
06:28They birds of a feather flock together.
06:29Oh, another nice tight cover.
06:31Two.
06:32Nothing wrong with those.
06:37Atlantis Jr., though, a great competitor, great star, great stamina.
06:41Going to be very tough to put him away.
06:43Tell you what, man, but you're in the ring with former Ring of Honor television champions,
06:48so Lee Johnson knows that a win over Atlantis Jr. is a catapult for himself to know that he is championship caliber.
06:56And speaking of championship caliber, there's a man who also, with his great record, circling that championship conversation as well.
07:04Ooh.
07:06It is Johnson.
07:08Forearm there.
07:10By the way, Johnson stays in control of the middle of the ring, like dominating the middle of the ring, man.
07:14That's a lot to be said about that.
07:16That pace taking off now.
07:18Pop up.
07:19Oh, kick caught.
07:20It's, whoa, Atlantis Jr. tucks the clothesline.
07:24Whoa.
07:25Whoa.
07:25That William Bird arm drag didn't work, but that knee definitely worked.
07:30Lee Johnson is hard to.
07:32Oh.
07:33It's playing Christian.
07:35Oh, Johnson almost hits Christian.
07:37Super kick plants Christian.
07:39But it's Johnson.
07:40With the roll of the stack.
07:42Two.
07:42No.
07:45Atlantis able to kick out there.
07:47Nice.
07:48Beautiful.
07:48Tell you what, Lee Johnson landed high on the shoulders there.
07:52Atlantis.
07:52Whoa.
07:54That floating drop kick.
07:55Cover there.
07:56One.
07:56Two.
07:58Ooh.
07:59You're right, man.
08:00It's like Atlantis was floating in the air for that drop kick.
08:02You're absolutely right.
08:04Staying in control now.
08:05Getting that breath together.
08:07Taking it in.
08:08Resetting the pace.
08:11And bringing Johnson toward the corner.
08:13Caprice Atlantis Jr.
08:14When he won the World Television title, he did so with a frog splash in the arena.
08:18And he goes, will he do the same to Lee Johnson here in Garland?
08:23What he's looking for.
08:25Lee Johnson not home.
08:27And Johnson with Atlantis.
08:29Oh.
08:30My goodness.
08:30Elbows to the jaw.
08:32Johnson is still up.
08:33Wow.
08:34Spicoli driver.
08:35PK.
08:36Standing close.
08:37Great combination.
08:38Leg hook.
08:39Two.
08:40No.
08:41Even the tuck on that was high by Lee Johnson.
08:43Man, a lot of vertical assistance on that.
08:46A lot of control.
08:47Body control as well.
08:48Almost getting up higher than normal with a tuck to end off that splash.
08:53Oh, and there you see Blake Christian recovering from that super kick.
08:59Johnson intimating and it's over.
09:01Maybe looking for that big shot drop here.
09:06And Atlantis knows that could be coming, trying to fight out of it.
09:09It's Johnson clubbing down.
09:11Oh, power bomb is dead.
09:14Up and over.
09:16Close line tucked.
09:17Atlantis Jr.
09:17Waistlock up and over.
09:18Lee Johnson.
09:19Johnson to the corner.
09:20Charging in Atlantis.
09:21Nobody home.
09:21It's Johnson who eats the boot.
09:25Oh.
09:25So much fast movements here.
09:27Guys almost virtually know each other.
09:28I think they're familiar with each other from this, from the $50,000 match they had.
09:32And now they have this match one-on-one.
09:35Nobody wants to go out a loser, man.
09:37Both people want to be a winner.
09:38So they're putting all stakes on the line.
09:39Especially in that world television title division where both men have, wow, flourished.
09:47Johnson, the moon saw that.
09:49Mexican destroyer.
09:52And Johnson, he could be out.
09:54Yep.
09:55Atlantis is going back up.
09:56I think he's going to try to finish off for Gabadi.
09:58Looking for the pro splash.
10:00Got it.
10:02Cover.
10:03Two.
10:04Yeah.
10:07The winner of this match.
10:08And Blintish Jr.
10:12A huge win for the former world television champion Atlantis Jr.
10:19And Caprice, if you're Nick Wayne and you've got trouble with luchadores and suddenly the former champ is on a winning streak.
10:28Oh, we've got to make a hold of it.
10:30A.W.
10:31With the words out of my mic, Rick Albani, not just any luchadores, that's the former television champion right there.
10:38Forbidden door, A.W.
10:43I'm on your turn.
10:45Something extraordinary.
10:46This is my moment now.
10:48Open the door.
10:50I'm the guy that opened the first forbidden door.
10:55Now, from every corner of the world, to the O2 Arena.
11:00Welcome to London, bruh.
11:01A.W.
11:02And New Japan Pro Wrestling present Forbidden Door.
11:05Live from the O2 in London.
11:07Sunday, 24 August.
11:08Tickets on sale now at livenation.co.uk.
11:14Can't wait for Forbidden Door.
11:15What a big stage.
11:16That will be.
11:17Speaking of men that stepped up to the big stage, STP had quite the weekend, including the Ring of Honor Pure Champion, Tiger Style, Lee Moriarty.
11:23Blue Panther is a legend.
11:29He is one of the most famous luchadores in the entire world.
11:33And I just proved why I'm the best pure wrestler on the planet.
11:37Because I defeated Blue Panther in my ring in Ring of Honor.
11:41And now I can proudly say that I am the longest reigning Ring of Honor Pure Champion in this title's history.
11:50351 days.
11:52I have been every style of professional wrestler.
11:56And I'm making it clear right now that Tiger Style, Lee Moriarty, is not complacent with just being the pure champion.
12:03I'm going to take this to the top of Ring of Honor and become the face of this brand.
12:09So everybody better watch this step.
12:15And protect your neck.
12:16Well, who is to doubt Lee Moriarty making history with his defense?
12:22History was also made to crown an interim Women's World Television Champion last Friday.
12:28A super card of Honor.
12:29Four tremendous athletes.
12:31You saw Yuka Sakasaki there.
12:32Persephone with the following slam.
12:34Mina Shirakawa and Miyu Yamasha.
12:37There is Yuka.
12:38The Magic Girl Splash.
12:39I thought that was it.
12:40But on the outside, it was Persephone.
12:43And Yuka taking each other out.
12:45Leaving Miyu and Mina inside the ring.
12:48The dragon's gluing leg whip into the bridging figure four.
12:51Secure the title from Mina Shirakawa.
12:53Crowning an interim Women's World Television Champion.
12:58Unfortunately, Mina was injured the next day at Alderman, Texas.
13:01Wishing for a quick recovery for both the interim and Women's World Television Champion.
13:07Riccoboni, duh.
13:09This match is set for one fall with a 20-minute time limit.
13:13Approaching the ring.
13:14Briscoe to Miami, Florida.
13:17Dia Monte!
13:18And I feel, I always talk about the embarrassment of riches we have in Ring of Honor and our women's division.
13:28And this just adds to it.
13:31The return of Diamante at Supercard Zero Hour.
13:37Go back to Bobby Cruz.
13:38Her opponent, Maya World.
13:41And not only international established stars like Diamante, Caprice, but also the best in the independence in Maya World.
13:47Absolutely, a huge fan of Maya World.
13:49Trained here in Texas.
13:50Also trained by our Ring of Honor World Champion, Athena.
13:54And has been making a name all over the place.
13:57Back here at Ring of Honor for another opportunity to put her name on the map.
14:02Court of Honor adhered to.
14:04And how about that video package from Shuri who showed up the next day at All in Texas as Diamante going to work.
14:12One of the biggest stars in the world coming already in AEW, but presumably in ROH as well.
14:18Tell you what, man.
14:18I think what Diamante is doing here is Diamante has been gone for a while.
14:22Now she's back.
14:23She sees these new people pop up wanting to get a job, wanting to get an opportunity.
14:26And she's trying to show why she's here, why she belongs.
14:30And she doesn't want anybody here to look any more important than Diamante.
14:35Beautiful flying head sister there.
14:38And fans, you can commemorate Supercard of Honor.
14:41The official Supercard t-shirt added to ShopHonor.com.
14:45ShopAEW.com.
14:46Oh, my goodness.
14:47How about that seed?
14:48Do you think MXM's seed is going to end up on ShopHonor?
14:51No comment.
14:54Capri's hot.
14:57Oh, look.
14:58Wow.
15:01I'll tell you what, that rake across the ropes is absolutely personal.
15:06It's most wrestlers, they vow on their looks, their appearance.
15:10And when you do that rope thing, it's like a rug burn to your face, man.
15:15It's a personal insult.
15:17It's practical as well, but my world, look at, ooh.
15:27Diamante tried to fight out of the powerbomb position, and she does.
15:31Blocks the big clothesline.
15:34Open left, uppercut with the right.
15:36Notice there Diamante also attacking the legs of Maya World.
15:40She sees the strength, man, trying to neutralize that as well.
15:44Diamante hitting all cylinders.
15:45And it's Diamante looking for the Irish whip, does not get it.
15:50Maya with the block.
15:51Diamante throws a spinning kick to the midsection.
15:53And the cover!
15:56Cover to, that's going to be it.
15:59Who wins this match?
16:02Diamante!
16:02Wow.
16:05Diamante making quick work of a star on the rise.
16:08No ring rust.
16:13Two in a row for this championship contender.
16:18Yeah!
16:20Gotta pitch me off.
16:22I've been gone for too long, baby.
16:24But now I'm back.
16:25Boom!
16:26And as the talent pool gets deeper, Diamante clearly ready to dive in.
16:32And I, we, we're going to hear more about Seed?
16:36What?
16:36Oh, okay.
16:37Beneath the surface, something stirs.
16:42A piercing glance that turns hips.
16:46A heat that makes you touch tips.
16:50A gaze that feels like a drop in a puddle.
16:53Because deep down, everyone wants to be planted.
16:57And watered.
16:59MxM Collection presents Seed.
17:05Let it grow inside you.
17:08I don't care who it is.
17:19I don't care when it's time.
17:21The forever Haraway champion, the hometown hero, the falling goddess, the minion overlord,
17:27is going to be the AEW Women's World Champion.
17:39Congratulations to Athena, who has already made her presence felt in the AEW Women's World title picture after all in.
17:45But that wasn't the only huge win for an ROH champion in Texas.
17:49Since the creation of the TNT Championship in 2020, Dustin Rhodes has been locked in its orbit.
17:57A champion's champion with a Hall of Fame resume and legacy, Dustin has held titles in multiple organizations, including currently in ROH, but has never held gold in AEW.
18:06Thus began Dustin's five-year odyssey.
18:12The tournament to crown the first champion saw Dustin reach the semifinals, but fall to the massive Lance Archer.
18:18Working his way back up the ladder, Dustin then earned his first shot at the title against the late great Brody Lee in September 2020.
18:27Near misses against current ROH World Tag Team Championship partner Sammy Guevara in 2022.
18:32And Christian Cage in 2024.
18:38But in front of friends and family, and after competing once earlier in the night, Rhodes made the most of a heartbreaking situation and wrote the next chapter of his storybook career.
18:48Dustin outlasted and outsmarted Kyle Fletcher, Daniel Garcia and partner Sammy Guevara.
18:53And is your new TNT champion, capturing a title that eluded him deep in the heart of the Lone Star State.
19:02Tony asked me to step up, I did.
19:07I have chased this thing and come short, like I said, many times.
19:12And I'm still in shock.
19:14I'm still in shock a little bit that I actually pulled this off.
19:17And I'm just super proud that I could do it in my home state of Texas.
19:21I love the fans.
19:25They treat me so good, even 37 years later.
19:29It's amazing.
19:30I think there's so much passion in me and our family that we go to work and we have a work ethic and we do what needs to be done and we step up when we can.
19:40And my dad taught me many, many lessons and that was the one to keep stepping and to keep going and to keep thriving and to keep reinventing yourself.
19:50I'm just, I'm, it's such a pretty belt, man.
19:53And I'm just like, I stared at it for, it felt like 10 minutes.
19:57I didn't want to take it out of Aubrey's hand because it was just, my God.
20:02And, you know, I'm just in shock a little bit.
20:06Um, I pulled it out, I guess, you know, I wasn't on the receiving end of this, this time.
20:15Super proud of myself.
20:16I want to carry this title and do the very best that I can for as long as I can.
20:21And thank you.
20:25Inspiring words from The Natural.
20:27Who had an incredible weekend.
20:30Between Supercard of Honor and AEW All-In Texas.
20:37A huge one-on-one bout coming up.
20:40The crash is set for one ball with a 20-minute time limit.
20:43Introducing first, the company by Amira.
20:46Just kind of London, England.
20:48Weighed 177 pounds.
20:51Michael Oku.
20:54Absolutely.
20:56And it is always great to see the Rev Pro undisputed British Heavyweight Champion Michael Oku.
21:04Accompanied by the lovely Amira.
21:07Michael Oku.
21:09Penciled in, targeted by many.
21:12As a man that will carry wrestling into the 2030s Caprice.
21:15Yes, absolutely, man.
21:16The future of pro wrestling, many feel, are in this man's hands.
21:22He's been proving himself right.
21:24Everywhere that he goes, current Rev Pro Champion.
21:27The Women's Champion of Rev Pro is very familiar with AEW fans.
21:31And that is the CEO herself.
21:34But the Rev Pro Champion, Miz Champion is here.
21:39And he will take on the franchise of Ring of Honor.
21:43We go back to the voice of Ring of Honor, Bobby Cruz.
21:45His opponent, West Carolina in Richmond, New Jersey, weighing 223 pounds, Gene Lethal.
21:55We sat down with Gene Lethal ahead of Super Guard of Honor.
21:59And Jays said he had unfinished business in Ring of Honor, Caprice.
22:05Absolutely.
22:06He said he has some championships.
22:11Did you say, he told me that he wanted to test out Michael Oku.
22:14He says so many things about him, but he had never faced the franchise.
22:19But the meaning that we have with Bobby Cruz, right, he said he has some unfinished business.
22:22And that's regaining the World Championship or Television Championship or pure title.
22:27Whichever one lines up, he wants to win.
22:31Code of Honor adhered to.
22:32J. Lethal, the man with the record for most days as World Champion.
22:36Winning at Madison Square Garden with that title.
22:39Most days as Television Champion with two incredible combined reigns.
22:43Champion for over 2,000 days total in Ring of Honor.
22:46Really epitomizes that, but Michael Oku, he is leading Rev Pro.
22:51Like you said, some very familiar names, some top names in professional wrestling.
22:55On the men's side, Will Ospreay, a man who is victorious at AEW All-In Texas.
23:00Former Ring of Honor Television Champion.
23:02That's the man Michael Oku defeated, former Rev Pro Champion in his own right.
23:06He's defending that title against some of the greatest as well.
23:10Oku definitely, look at that stop right here.
23:13Wait a minute, 1.
23:14That's the thing I like about J. Lethal, man.
23:16You can never just talk because the match can be over just like that because Lethal's
23:20always looking for the pin.
23:22And Oku was looking for that half grab.
23:23He is the master of the half grab.
23:24It's Lethal, he's the master of the figure four, who's trying to step in variation here.
23:28Inside cradle.
23:29Wait a minute, 2.
23:31Let's step in the original version of the figure four.
23:33Is Oku popping up?
23:34Right there in the eyes of Lethal.
23:37Lethal's say, okay, you're a lot better than I thought you were.
23:39We're going to have to settle this thing right here and right now.
23:42A place where a lot of Lethal's grudges were settled as we take a look at the lovely Amira is the 2300 Arena, which has been home to final battle.
23:53It's been home to death before dishonor.
23:55Where it will be once again this year.
23:57For the first time in five years, Ring of Honor returns to the 2300 Arena and is part of AEW's first ever residency in Philadelphia.
24:07That's coming away from August 27th to September 11th, featuring dynamite collisions, as well as death before dishonor.
24:14Leave the locking hands with Oku.
24:15Yeah, agreement they made.
24:17Lock hands and let's throw some leather and see who lets go first.
24:21Whoa!
24:24Oku still holding on, though, even though he almost lost his balance.
24:28Yeah.
24:29And knowing that we are just about, what, six weeks away from death before dishonor, a win here I think will go a long way to put either man in championship contention.
24:38Oh!
24:40Oku stepping up and maybe taking advantage of that inside track there.
24:45Absolutely, he felt that power of Jay Lethal and didn't want any more.
24:50I didn't, I wouldn't want any more either.
24:51I've been in a ring with Lethal, man.
24:52You don't want this man hitting you.
24:53His hands are huge.
24:55They're thick.
24:56Ducks the clothesline around the go.
24:58From the baseline of Lethal with a set of suplex there.
25:02Working for it, man.
25:05Unrelenting is Jay Lethal.
25:06If he's going for something, he's going to keep going until he gets it.
25:09Cover.
25:10Just a one count there.
25:11Be a move, work a big championship, Rick Abani.
25:15I'll tell you what, the thing that we've not explored is Lethal, he's getting it from the Lethal Injection.
25:20Hold that thought.
25:22This match may not be for the Red Pro Championship, but if Lethal wins it, he surely has likely earned a shot, in my opinion.
25:28Absolutely.
25:29I think if I'm Jim Lethal, it is.
25:31Oh!
25:32That's the clothesline around the go.
25:33Oku off the ropes.
25:34It's Oku with a beautiful flying hit.
25:36It's through there.
25:37Oku back to his feet with a dropkick.
25:39Prince, the former world champion.
25:41Lethal goes down.
25:43It crumbles down.
25:45It's Jay Lethal.
25:47You're right.
25:47If I'm Jay Lethal, if I win this match, I definitely would like to fly and get a shot at the Red Pro Championship with the title on the line.
25:56And it's Oku who is now stalking Lethal.
26:00Going back to that leg.
26:01Caprice, we've seen it.
26:02How many men of Oku has he tapped out with that half-crab?
26:06That's what they call him, the master of the half-crab there.
26:09And even when he's not going for that half-crab, he's working on that leg, softening the body up, softening the back up.
26:15Oh, wait.
26:16Oh, now it's the top of the figure four.
26:17Oh, now it's the top of the four.
26:18Oh, now it's the top of the four.
26:19Oh, now it's the top of the four.
26:20Yeah, but...
26:21Oh, not a smart move to wake a sleeping giant there.
26:25Whoa, springboard.
26:26Wow.
26:27Oh, it's going home.
26:28Oku back on his feet.
26:29That's the close line.
26:30It's Lethal.
26:31And Oku.
26:32Oh, wow.
26:33Lethal definitely whippin' that leg there with that drag-a-spoon leg-whippin'.
26:37Seeking in on that knee to hyperextension.
26:40Put the figure four in.
26:42He's got him locked!
26:43Oh, but Oku's so smart.
26:45Right away goes rolling to the floor.
26:47Oh!
26:48But nobody wins that.
26:49Nobody wins that drop there.
26:51Both legs locked in.
26:52It doesn't matter who's in control.
26:54Both legs hurt.
26:55And both landing.
26:56You don't see...
26:57You see Oku there holding his elbow.
26:59You see Lethal holding his head.
27:01Nobody wins that drop, Rickobani.
27:03As Amir, the only one with any kind of positive upward movement here.
27:09Lethal trying to get back to a table position.
27:11Oku following.
27:13Lethal.
27:14It's going to be directed to Oku probably to be advantage that Oku has right there.
27:20Here's Amir saying, here, the ring's right here.
27:23Here's the apron.
27:24Climbing to the rope.
27:25Beat this count.
27:26Stay inside the match.
27:27Both men on the apron now.
27:29In the ring, let's go!
27:30It is...
27:31Lethal!
27:32Goodness.
27:33High on the collarbone.
27:34Oh!
27:35Oku snaps.
27:36Lethal back in who lands on his feet.
27:38Shoulder to the midsection.
27:39Lethal.
27:40As Oku...
27:41Ah!
27:42Kudos Lethal!
27:43I thought...
27:44I thought Lethal was going to try to power drive Oku back inside the ring.
27:47Oku thinking better.
27:48Watch this!
27:49Wait a minute.
27:50Way!
27:51Triangle jump kick!
27:52That's one of Lethal's moves!
27:53It is one of Lethal's moves.
27:55I mean...
27:56It...
27:57And folks have made the comparison.
27:59The trajectory of Oku has been similar to Lethal.
28:02Oku's even said Lethal's been an inspiration in interviews.
28:05Lethal's been an inspiration to a lot of people, but it's almost like Jay Lethal's fighting a younger version of himself and Oku trying to get the crowd together here.
28:14Oh!
28:15Oh!
28:16He certainly is!
28:17Getting that momentum going!
28:19And...
28:20Oh yeah!
28:21Killer Oku!
28:22Ok Oku!
28:23I see it!
28:24Ok Oku!
28:25I see it!
28:26And Oku has Lethal down!
28:29Let's go!
28:30Let's go!
28:31Let's go!
28:32Let's go!
28:33Let's go!
28:34Let's go!
28:35Let's go!
28:36Let's go!
28:37Let's go!
28:38Let's go!
28:39Let's go!
28:40Let's go!
28:41Let's go!
28:42Let's go!
28:43Let's go!
28:44Oh yeah!
28:45You're absolutely right!
28:46Caprice is Lethal!
28:47Going up top now!
28:48It's Jay Lethal!
28:50All the way up top!
28:52Hell!
28:53Two left!
28:55Kick caught!
28:56Caught!
28:57One!
28:58Two!
28:59Whoa!
29:00Wow!
29:01And it's better!
29:04Oku back up!
29:05Back to the close lane!
29:06Come here again!
29:08Oku's in trouble!
29:10Oku's in trouble now!
29:11Lethal calling for it!
29:13Lethal!
29:14And...
29:15Jack Shattador!
29:16Rick Abani!
29:17I promise you that much!
29:18One!
29:19Two!
29:20Three!
29:22The winner of this match!
29:23Gene Lethal!
29:27Wow!
29:30And here I thought...
29:32The heat might be dialed down a little bit coming out of Supercars!
29:35Here I thought...
29:36Maybe everybody would be a little backed up and be bruised!
29:40These two left nothing to chance and put it all on the line and a great bout here this
29:45week in ROA!
29:46Oh!
29:47Yeah!
29:48Police aid number!
29:49Whoa!
29:50And this!
29:51This is one ring of honor!
29:53Yeah!
29:54Watch this!
29:55Yeah!
29:56Hey!
29:57Jay Lethal once said that about Lee Moriarty the last time we were in Philadelphia at the
30:012300 Arena at Death Before the Sada!

31:42Win or lose!
31:44We...
31:45Boo!
31:46Boo!
31:47Boo!
31:52This is the Frathouse News Network!
31:53We're here!
31:54Somewhere in Texas!
31:55We don't know where it could have stormed!
31:58We got some people over here!
32:00Ready to play some games!
32:01What's up?
32:02Y'all say hookup?
32:03And beer pong!
32:04Y'all say beer pong?
32:06Beer pong!
32:07Y'all say beer pong again?
32:11I'm too f***ing big!
32:13You made it!
32:14Oh!
32:15Oh!
32:16Oh!
32:17Oh!
32:18Oh!
32:19Oh!
32:20Oh!
32:21I just waiting so loud!
32:23No b***h I!
32:24Oh!
32:25Oh!
32:26I'm too f***ing big!
32:30The Frathouse, they are something else!
32:32But what about Etchisero?
32:34Calling a shot at the Ring of Honor World Champion.
32:36Goes one on one tonight against Angelico.
32:38it gets on Helico.
32:41And it was that super card of honor
32:42that we saw at Jocero following.
32:44An instant classic. One of the all-time
32:46great Ring of Honor World Championship
32:48bouts. Bandito took the early advantage
32:50picking up the pace
32:51very quickly in the bout.
32:56But
32:56as Takeshita found an opening,
32:58Bandito, unforced errors led
33:00to the shoulder being damaged.
33:03Bandito with some high
33:04impact moves until the chair
33:06from the outside, which Don Callison
33:08introduced. It was Takeshita
33:10who tore the mask. Bloody Bandito
33:12hit a brain buster
33:14on the stage. But it was the
33:16heart, the resilience of Bandito
33:18that came firing through. Multiple
33:20attempts at the 21-plex
33:22took place. Takeshita
33:24becoming the first athlete to kick
33:26out of the 21-plex in a Ring of Honor World
33:28title bout. It was Bandito
33:30but the presence of mind and the heart to
33:32counter Takeshita and leave
33:34Arlington the world champion.
33:36However, when he turned around
33:38it was the alchemist who was waiting.
33:43And tonight
33:44we see the man that
33:46has challenged the Ring of Honor World Champion
33:48with a huge test in front of
33:50it. This match is set for one
33:52fall and a 20-minute time limit.
33:54Introducing first, the accompanied by
33:56San Penteco, wrestling out of
33:58Johannesburg, South Africa
33:59winning 209 pounds, he is representing
34:03Spinach, a bounce project
34:06on Helico.
34:09Well, on Helico,
34:11no stranger to single competition,
34:13no stranger to luchadors either, Caprice.
34:15Absolutely one of the best
34:18traveled, well-trained,
34:20world-traveled
34:21wrestlers we have here.
34:23He's been everywhere,
34:24soaked up styles,
34:25flown himself places to
34:27learn more genres of wrestling
34:29and now we have somebody here
34:31that is so confident in
34:33his body, his charisma,
34:35his movement, his flow
34:36is so natural in the movements
34:39of professional wrestling.
34:41The Cueto,
34:42originally trained by
34:43Negro Navarro in Mexico
34:44at the Torremont Dojo,
34:45referred by Ultimo Guerrero,
34:47the same school that produced
34:49Okada, Ibushi, Rocky Romero.
34:52Will that training
34:53bear fruit here tonight?
34:56Will his Lucha Libre expertise
34:58get him a win against this man?
35:01His opponent,
35:02accompanied by
35:03Rocky Romero.
35:04Passing up Monterey,
35:06Mexico.
35:08Weigh 104 kilos.
35:11It's Chisero!
35:14The alchemist,
35:15Chisero's called his shot
35:17and not only that,
35:18but last night on Dynamite
35:19secured the win
35:19by putting the champion
35:20to sleep
35:21and getting the win
35:22for his team.
35:26Tell you,
35:27look your head,
35:27Chisero, man.
35:28This guy's unpredictable
35:30at best.
35:32Very strong Lucha goer.
35:34Never can tell
35:35what he's thinking,
35:36but you know
35:37he has bad intentions.
35:39And we saw those
35:41at AEW
35:43All-In Texas
35:44as well
35:46against
35:47the conglomeration.
35:49Mixing it up,
35:50even mixing it up
35:51with Big Boom A.J.
35:52as well as former
35:55Ring of Honor
35:55world champion
35:56Kyle O'Reilly,
35:57former television champion
35:58Tomohiro Ishii
35:59and Hologram.
36:02Oh,
36:03I don't want no part
36:07of the Cone of Honor.
36:09They're waving off
36:10the Cone of Honor.
36:14Oh,
36:15look at this.
36:15Even both men's movements
36:16so,
36:17so different,
36:19unique.
36:20And Helico is frustrating
36:24with his movements
36:25because it's like
36:27he could be right
36:28in front of you
36:28but he's still hard
36:30to hold.
36:32The way he moves,
36:33you can have hold of him
36:34the way he slips out
36:35of movements
36:35and be in front of you
36:37and then behind you
36:37at the same time
36:38is unpredictable.
36:40You can't find somebody
36:41to train for
36:42to wrestle somebody
36:42like in Helico.
36:44Of course.
36:45Oh,
36:46wow.
36:47And Echicero,
36:48no stranger
36:49to winning the big one
36:50former CMLL
36:51world heavyweight champion
36:53defeated Ultimo Guerrero
36:54to win that
36:55back in 2021.
36:56Had a number
36:57of huge defenses
36:58including against
36:59Barbero Cabanario
37:00Leforia,
37:01men we've seen
37:01on ROH.
37:02Echicero rolling through.
37:04Look at this.
37:05The movement
37:05into the hammerlock
37:07and forcing
37:08on Helico
37:09to get to the rope.
37:10A smooth transition
37:11there,
37:11Echicero
37:11showing that
37:12underneath all of that
37:15man is still
37:15a great wrestler.
37:18And on Helico
37:19checking in
37:21with Serpentico
37:22on the outside.
37:24I think something
37:24like that
37:25is dangerous.
37:26Dangerous combination,
37:27man.
37:27Someone that's willing
37:27to do anything
37:28and has everything
37:30already, man.
37:31This is a dangerous
37:32competitor for somebody
37:32like Bandido.
37:34Oh, absolutely.
37:35And on Helico
37:36trying,
37:37oh,
37:38hyperextending the arm.
37:40You see the hip position
37:41so smart
37:42as Echicero.
37:43Now those legs
37:43are grapevine here.
37:44Whoa!
37:45Caught!
37:47And look at that.
37:49Sending
37:49on Helico
37:50back to the ropes.
37:54That's what I mean
37:55by these movements here.
37:56A lot of times
37:58Bandido's advantage
37:59is being a luchador
38:00and being a champion.
38:01A lot of people
38:02that Bandido's had to face
38:04have to get past
38:05that luchador experience
38:06when you have a luchador
38:07as champion
38:09that's an advantage.
38:09But now you have
38:10a well-versed luchador
38:12that's won
38:12in your championship.
38:14It's a hard contendership.
38:15Breckel-Roman
38:19knuckle-lock here.
38:20And let's talk about
38:21the treachery
38:23of the Don Callis family.
38:24Of course,
38:25Takeshita
38:25trying to get it done.
38:27Rocky Romero
38:27shoulder tackle
38:28tried to make himself known
38:30in that title bout
38:31as well.
38:31I think he did.
38:33Yeah.
38:33Takeshita made himself
38:34known very well.
38:35That was a great match.
38:36Probably one of the greatest
38:37matches in the game.
38:37A lot of history.
38:38And of course,
38:40Rocky.
38:42Two there.
38:43Rocky trying to get himself
38:44involved.
38:45Lateral press
38:45gets a one.
38:47And how dangerous
38:47is Echisero going to be
38:48if Rocky
38:49is the man at ring...
38:50Oh!
38:51The man at ringside
38:52should Echisero
38:53get a title shot.
38:54You're right, man.
38:55And Rocky,
38:55one that is
38:56very familiar
38:57with championships, man.
38:59Probably the right man
39:00to have in your corner.
39:01Oh!
39:03So cool, man.
39:04Yeah.
39:07Oh, it ducks down.
39:08Look at this.
39:09Angelico.
39:11I would think
39:12the Don Callis family
39:13probably looking
39:13for some revenge.
39:15I mean,
39:15that was a match.
39:16Takeshita looked like
39:17he had won.
39:18Oh, look at that.
39:19Just hanging it.
39:21Here's the thing
39:21with that, man.
39:22When you have somebody
39:22that in your family,
39:24in your faction
39:25that has wrestled
39:26a champion
39:27when they came out
39:28on the losing end,
39:29you have studied material
39:30and you have somebody
39:31to talk to.
39:32Look at Rocky
39:33to say,
39:34hey,
39:34when you do this,
39:35don't do it this way.
39:36Watch this way.
39:37He seemed like
39:37leaning to his left
39:38a little bit.
39:38Watch out for that.
39:39Oh!
39:41You have great advice
39:42in your corner
39:43for planning
