00:00Welcome, everybody, to a very exciting edition of Riccobody Wrestling.
00:22Ian Riccobody, 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, and the natural adding some more gold.
00:47It was 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.
01:03That man, Edges Serro, is in action here tonight, going one-on-one against SAP's on Helico.
01:08Back in the house, from a long way to return, is Diamante, and she has her hands full with a lady that's trying to get her Mark in Ring of Honor by your world.
01:19And 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.
01:24Jay Lethal, here in Ring of Honor, goes one-on-one against the Red Pro British champion, Michael Oku.
01:29These two may have not won $50,000, but they definitely have gold in their future.
01:35Which one will get it first, Lee Johnson or Atlantis Jr.?
01:38And that match is kicking things off!
01:41Enough is enough.
01:43And 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 limit.
01:53Introducing first, being accompanied by Blake Christian.
01:55That's going to bet right to Georgia, weighting 189 pounds, Big Shotty Lee Johnson!
02:06Big 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.
02:19Those 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 with your opponent at all times, man.
02:30It's just so hard to win those matches.
02:31But AR Fox got it done, and we ain't good that night.
02:35Whenever the money's on the line, AR Fox steps up.
02:39And whenever the titles are on the line, this former world television champion does as well.
02:43It's a 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.
03:00In the house, former ALWAYS 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,
03:13the cultural references, the heritage of his family.
03:17Never know what we're going to see, but it's always better.
03:25Atlantis 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 super card 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.
03:45AEW 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.
03:57Tickets available now for AEW's Scotland debut.
04:00And tickets moving fast for Forbidden Door.
04:02It's been like a good hammerlock 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 hammerlock.
04:12Back into the arm position, trying to gain control.
04:15Still the filling out process.
04:17Certainly here, and so critical as we saw, especially in that world television title.
04:21We talked about these two men, Caprice, being perennial TV title contenders,
04:25former TV champion Atlantis.
04:27But Nick Wayne coming out on top against a man who seemingly had his number
04:31in CMLL's Teton.
04:33And then the very next night, turning his back on his quote-unquote father, Christian.
04:38I 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.
04:48And...
04:48Wow!
04:49Flying head scissor from the former world television champion.
04:55And Atlantis Jr. now looking to fly!
04:59But he got his head first, man.
05:01Like 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.
05:22And Johnson still rattled, trying to find a neutral corner.
05:26Oh!
05:26Going to 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 was holding on to that, man.
05:44He didn't want any part of that at ripcord.
05:46Oh!
05:46Oh!
05:47Oh!
05:47Oh!
05:47Oh!
05:49Blake Christian!
05:50Who's certainly feeling confident following that gigantic victory
05:55against the former world champion last Friday.
06:00Tell you what, man.
06:00If you're going to assist your friends, there 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.
06:11We'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.
06:24And it's a testament of himself.
06:26Cover.
06:27Two.
06:28They burn some of a feather flock together.
06:30Oh, 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.
06:44Tell you what, man.
06:44But you're in the ring with former Ring of Honor television champions.
06:48So, Lee Johnson knows that a win over Atlantis Jr.
06:52Is a catapult for himself to know that he is championship caliber.
06:57And speaking of championship caliber, there's a man who also, with his great record,
07:02circling that championship conversation as well.
07:04Ooh.
07:06It is Johnson.
07:08Forearm there.
07:08By the way, Johnson stays in control in the middle of the ring, like dominating the middle
07:14of 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.
07:21It's, whoa.
07:22Atlantis Jr.
07:22Tucks the clothesline.
07:24Oh.
07:25Wow.
07:25That Willie Bird arm drag didn't work, but that knee definitely worked.
07:30Lee Johnson is hard to.
07:31Oh.
07:32And it's playing Christian.
07:35Oh, Johnson almost hits Christian.
07:37Super kick.
07:38Plants 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.
07:47Beautiful.
07:49Tell 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 Rio, Mexico.
08:19Will he do the same to Lee Johnson here at Garland?
08:23What he's looking for.
08:25Lee Johnson not home.
08:27And Johnson with Atlantis.
08:29Oh.
08:30Oh, my goodness.
08:30Elbows to the jaw.
08:32Johnson is still up.
08:33Wow.
08:34Spicoli driver.
08:35PK.
08:36Standing.
08:36Oh.
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 you play Christian recovering from that super kick.
08:59Johnson intimating and it's over.
09:01Maybe looking for that big shot drop here.
09:03Yeah.
09:06And Atlantis knows that could be coming.
09:08Trying 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.
09:23Oh, so 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.
09:40Especially in that world television title division where both men have, wow, flourished.
09:47Johnson the moonsault and Mexican destroyer.
09:50And Johnson, he could be out.
09:54Yep.
09:55Atlantis is going back up.
09:56I think he's going to try to finish off Rikavati.
09:58Looking for the pro slash.
10:01Got it.
10:02Cover.
10:03Two.
10:04Yeah.
10:07The winner of this match, Atlantis Jr.
10:12A huge win for the former world television champion, Atlantis Jr.
10:18And Caprice, if you're Nick Wayne, and you've got trouble with luchadors, and suddenly the
10:26former champ is on a winning streak.
10:29Oh.
10:30We can't do it.
10:31We can't do it.
10:31We can't do it.
10:32We can't do it.
10:32We can't do it.
10:33We can't do it.
10:33The words out of my mind, Rikavani, not just any luchador, that's the former television
10:37champion right there.
10:38Forbidden Door, AEW, I'm on your turn.
10:45Something extraordinary.
10:46This is my moment now.
10:48Open the door.
10:51I'm the guy that opened the first Forbidden Door.
10:55Now, from every corner of the world, to the O2 Arena, welcome to London, brother.
11:01AEW and New Japan Pro Wrestling present Forbidden Door, live from the O2 in London, Sunday, 24
11:08August.
11:08Tickets on sale now at livenation.co.uk.
11:14Can't wait for Forbidden Door on a big stage.
11:16That will be speaking of men that stepped up to the big stage.
11:19STP had quite the weekend, including the Ring of Honor pure champion, Tiger Style Lee
11:23Moriarty.
11:26Blue Panther is a legend.
11:28He is one of the most famous luchadors 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
11:49title's history.
11:50351 days.
11:52I have been every style of professional wrestler.
11:55And I'm making it clear right now that Tiger Style Lee Moriarty is not complacent with just
12:02being 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 and 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
12:28at Super Card of Honor.
12:29Four tremendous athletes.
12:31You saw Yuka Sakasaki there for 70 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 and Yuka taking each other out, leaving Miyu and
12:46Mina inside the ring.
12:48The Dragon's Blue Leg Whip into the bridge at Figure Four.
12:51Secured the title from Mina Shirakawa, crowning an interim Women's World Television Champion.
12:58Unfortunately, Mina was injured the next day at Alderman, Texas, wishing for a quick recovery
13:02for 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.
13:14Brisco to Miami, Florida.
13:17Diamante!
13:19And I feel, I always talk about the embarrassment of riches we have in Ring of Honor and our women's
13:27division.
13:28And this just adds to it.
13:31The return.
13:32Ah!
13:33Of 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
13:46the independence at 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, and has been making a name all over
13:56the place.
13:57Back here at Ring of Honor for another opportunity to put her name on the map.
14:01Code of Honor adhere to.
14:04And how about that video package from Shuri who showed up the next day at all in Texas as
14:11Diamante going over from the biggest stars in the world coming already in AEW, but presumably
14:16in ROH as well.
14:18Tell you what, man.
14:19I think what Diamante is doing here is Diamante has been gone for a while and now 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 scissor there.
14:38And fans, you can commemorate Supercard of Honor.
14:41The official Supercard t-shirt added to ShopHonor.com, ShopAew.com.
14:46Oh my goodness.
14:47How about that seed?
14:48Do you think MXM seed is going to end up on ShopHonor?
14:51No comment.
14:52No comment.
14:53Capri's hot.
14:54Oh, look.
14:55Oh, look.
14:56Wow.
14:57I tell you what, that rake across the ropes is absolutely personal.
15:06Most wrestlers, they bow on their looks, their appearance, and when you do that rope thing,
15:12it's like a rug burn to your face, man, and it's a personal insult.
15:19It's practical as well, but my world, look at it.
15:25Ooh.
15:26Diamante tried to fight out of the powerbomb position, and she does.
15:30Blocks the big clothesline.
15:33Open left, uppercut with the right.
15:36Notice there that Diamante also attacking the legs of Maya World.
15:40She sees the strength, man, trying to neutralize that as well.
15:43Diamante hitting all cylinders.
15:45And it's Diamante looking for the Irish whip.
15:48Does not get it.
15:49Maya with the block.
15:50Diamante throws a spinning kick to the midsection.
15:53And the...
15:54Oh, red!
15:55Cover!
15:56Two!
15:57That's going to be it!
15:58Who wins this match?
16:00Diamante!
16:01Wow!
16:02Diamante making quick work of a star on the rise.
16:07No ring rust.
16:08Two in a row for this championship contender.
16:10Yeah!
16:11Gotta pitch me off.
16:12I've been gone for too long, baby.
16:13But now I'm back.
16:14Boom!
16:15And as the talent pool gets deeper, Diamante clearly ready to dive in.
16:20And...
16:21I...
16:22We're gonna hear more about Seed?
16:23What?
16:24Okay.
16:25Oh, okay.
16:26Beneath the surface, something stirs.
16:28A piercing glance that turns hips.
16:30A heat that makes you touch tips.
16:32A gaze that feels like a drop in a puddle.
16:33Because deep down, everyone wants to be planted.
16:34Ooh!
16:35And watered.
16:36Ah!
16:37MXM Collection presents, Seed.
16:41But, yeah!
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.
16:58And watered.
17:00MXM Collection presents...
17:03Seed!
17:06Let it grow inside you.
17:12I don't care who it is.
17:19I don't care when it's time.
17:21The Forever Haraway Champion, the hometown hero,
17:25the falling goddess, the minion, Overlord,
17:27is going to be the AEW Women's World Champion.
17:39Congratulations to Athena,
17:41who has already made her presence felt
17:42in 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.
17:51Since the creation of the TNT Championship in 2020,
17:54Dustin Rhodes has been locked in its orbit.
17:56A Champions Champion with a Hall of Fame resume and legacy,
17:59Dustin has held titles in multiple organizations,
18:01including currently in ROH,
18:03but has never held gold in AEW.
18:05Thus began Dustin's five-year odyssey.
18:11The tournament to crown the first champion
18:13saw Dustin reach the semifinals,
18:15but fall to the massive Lance Archer.
18:17Working his way back up the ladder,
18:19Dustin then earned his first shot at the title
18:21against the late great Brody Lee in September 2020.
18:24Near misses against current ROH World Tag Team Championship
18:30partner Sammy Guevara in 2022
18:34and Christian Cage in 2024.
18:36But in front of friends and family,
18:40and after competing once earlier in the night,
18:42Rhodes made the most of a heartbreaking situation
18:44and wrote the next chapter of his storybook career.
18:47Dustin outlasted and outsmarted
18:49Kyle Fletcher,
18:50Daniel Garcia and partner Sammy Guevara
18:52and is your new TNT champion,
18:55capturing a title that eluded him
18:57deep in the heart of the Lone Star State.
19:00Tony asked me to step up, I did.
19:06I have chased this thing and come short,
19:09like I said, many times.
19:11And I'm still in shock.
19:13I'm still in shock a little bit
19:15that I actually pulled this off
19:16and I'm just super proud
19:18that I could do it in my home state of Texas.
19:20I love the fans.
19:23They treat me so good, even 37 years later.
19:28It's amazing.
19:30I think there's so much passion in me
19:32and our family that we go to work
19:35and we have work ethic
19:36and we do what needs to be done
19:39and we step up when we can.
19:40My dad taught me many, many lessons
19:42and that was the one to keep stepping
19:45and to keep going
19:46and to keep thriving
19:47and to keep reinventing yourself.
19:49And I'm just, it's such a pretty belt, man.
19:53And I'm just like, I stared at it for,
19:55it felt like 10 minutes.
19:57I didn't want to take it out of Aubrey's hand
20:00because it was just my God.
20:02And, you know, I'm just in shock a little bit.
20:08I pulled it out, I guess, you know,
20:10I wasn't on the receiving end of this this time.
20:14Super proud of myself.
20:16I want to carry this title
20:18and do the very best that I can
20:19for as long as I can.
20:20And thank you.

21:58And Jay said he had unfinished business
22:02in Ring of Honor, Caprice.
22:05Absolutely.
22:06He said he has some, some championships.
22:11Did you say, he told me that he
22:13wanted to test out Michael Oku.
22:14He says so many things about him
22:16but he had never faced the franchise.
22:18But the meaning that we have
22:20with Vavani Wright, he said he has
22:21some unfinished business
22:22and that's regaining the World Championship
22:24or Television Championship
22:26or pure title.
22:27Whichever one lines up,
22:28he wants to win.
22:29Code of Honor adhered to.
22:32Jay Lethal.
22:32The man with the record for most days
22:34as world champion.
22:36Winning at Madison Square Garden
22:37with that title.
22:38Most days as television champion
22:40with two incredible combined reigns.
22:42Champion for over 2,000 days total
22:45in Ring of Honor.
22:46Really epitomizes that.
22:47But Michael Oku,
22:48he is leading Rev Pro.
22:50Like you said,
22:51some very familiar names.
22:52Some top names in professional wrestling.
22:54On the men's side,
22:56Will Ospreay.
22:57A man who was victorious
22:58at AEW All in Texas.
22:59Former Ring of Honor
23:00Television Champion.
23:01That's the man Michael Oku
23:03defeated.
23:04Former Rev Pro Champion
23:05in his own right.
23:06He's defending that title
23:07against some of the greatest as well.
23:09Oku definitely.
23:10Look at that stop right here.
23:11Wait a minute one.
23:13That's one thing I like about
23:15Jay Lethal man.
23:16You can never just talk
23:17because the match can be over
23:18just like that.
23:19Because Lethal's always
23:20looking for the pin.
23:21And Oku was looking for that half grab.
23:23He is the master of the half grab.
23:24It's Lethal who's the master
23:25of the figure four.
23:26Who's trying to step in variation here.
23:28Inside Cradle.
23:29Wait a minute.
23:30Two.
23:31Let's step in the original version
23:32of the figure four.
23:33Is Oku popping up.
23:36Right there in the eyes of Lethal.
23:37Lethal says,
23:37Ok you're a lot better
23:38than I thought you were.
23:39We're going to have to settle
23:40this thing right here
23:41and right now.
23:43A place where a lot
23:45of Lethal's grudges were settled
23:47as we take a look at
23:48the lovely Amira.
23:49Is the 2300 Arena.
23:51Which has been home
23:52to final battle.
23:53It's been home
23:54to Death Before Dishonor.
23:55It will be once again
23:56this year.
23:57For the first time in five years
23:58Ring of Honor returns
24:00to the 2300 Arena
24:02and is part of AEW's
24:04first ever residency
24:05in Philadelphia.
24:07That's coming away
24:08from August 27th
24:09to September 11th
24:10featuring Dynamite Collision
24:11as well as Death Before Dishonor.
24:13Leave the locking hands
24:14with Oku.
24:15Yeah.
24:16Agreement they made
24:17lock hands
24:18and let's throw some leather
24:19and see who lets go first.
24:21Oh!
24:24Oku's still holding on though
24:25even though he almost
24:26lost his balance.
24:27Yeah.
24:29And knowing that we're just
24:30about what
24:31six weeks away
24:32from Death Before Dishonor.
24:33A win here
24:34I think will go a long way
24:36to put either man
24:37in championship contention.
24:38Oh!
24:39And Oku
24:40stepping up
24:42and maybe
24:43taking advantage
24:44of that inside track there.
24:45Absolutely
24:46he felt that power
24:47of Jay Lethal
24:48and didn't want any more.
24:49I didn't
24:50I wouldn't want any more either.
24:51I've been in a ring with Lethal man.
24:52You don't want this man
24:53hitting you.
24:54His hands are huge.
24:55They're thick.
24:56Ducks the clothesline
24:57around the go
24:58front baseline
24:59and Lethal
25:00has that suplex there.
25:01Working for it man.
25:03Unrelenting is Jay Lethal.
25:05If he's going for something
25:06he's going to keep going
25:07until he gets it.
25:08Cover.
25:09Just a one count there.
25:11Be a move
25:12work a big championship
25:13Rickabani.
25:14I'll tell you what
25:15the thing that we've not explored
25:17is Lethal
25:18he's giving it
25:19for the Lethal Injection.
25:20Hold that thought.
25:21This match
25:22may not be
25:23for the Rev Pro Championship
25:24but if Lethal wins it
25:25he surely has
25:26likely earned a shot
25:27in my opinion.
25:28Absolutely.
25:29I think if I'm Jay Lethal
25:30to win this.
25:31Oh!
25:32That's the clothesline
25:33around the go
25:34ropes.
25:35It's Oku with a beautiful
25:36flying hitter there.
25:37Oku back to his feet
25:38with a dropkick
25:39because the former
25:40world champion.
25:41Lethal goes down.
25:43Crumbles down.
25:45It's Jay Lethal.
25:46You're right.
25:47If I'm Jay Lethal
25:48if I win this match
25:49I'd definitely
25:50would like to fly
25:51and get a shot
25:52at the Rev Pro Championship
25:53with the title on the line.
25:56And it's Oku
25:57who is now stalking Lethal.
25:59Going back to that leg.
26:01Caprice.
26:02We've seen it.
26:03Oku as he tapped out
26:05with that half-grab.
26:06That's what they call him
26:07the master, the half-grab
26:08there.
26:09Even when he's not going
26:10for that half-grab
26:11he's working on that leg.
26:12Softening the body
26:13up.
26:14Softening the back up.
26:16Oh wait.
26:17Calling out the figure four.
26:19Yeah but...
26:21Not a smart move to
26:23wake a sleeping giant there.
26:25Whoa!
26:26Springboard moves up
26:27going home.
26:28Oku back on his feet.
26:29Next to the close line
26:30it's Lethal.
26:31With Oku.
26:32Oh wow.
26:33Lethal definitely
26:34ripping that leg there.
26:35And then Draggis
26:36leg ripping.
26:38Seeking in on that knee
26:39to hyperextension.
26:40The figure four in.
26:42He's got it locked.
26:43Oh but Oku so smart.
26:45Right away goes rolling
26:46to 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 Rickabani.
27:03As Amir the only one
27:06with any kind of
27:07positive upward movement here.
27:09Lethal trying to get back
27:10to a table position.
27:11Oku following.
27:13Lethal getting to the record.
27:15See Amir directing Oku
27:16probably to
27:17the advantage that
27:19Oku has right there.
27:20Here's Amir saying
27:21here.
27:22The ring is right here.
27:23Here's the apron.
27:24Climbing to the rope.
27:25I can't beat this count.
27:26Stay inside the match.
27:27Both men on the apron now.
27:30In the ring let's go!
27:31It is Lethal.
27:32Oh goodness.
27:33High on the collarbone.
27:34Oh!
27:35Oku steps Lethal back in
27:37who lands on his feet.
27:38Shoulder to the midsection.
27:40Lethal.
27:41As Oku.
27:42Who dumps Lethal?
27:43I thought Lethal was going to
27:45try to pile drive Oku
27:46back inside the ring.
27:47Oku thinking better.
27:48Watch this.
27:49Wait a minute.
27:50Way!
27:51That's one of Lethal's moves.
27:54It is one of Lethal's moves.
27:56I mean it.
27:57And folks have made the comparison.
27:59The trajectory of Oku has been similar
28:02to Lethal.
28:03Oku has even said Lethal's been an inspiration
28:05in interviews.
28:06Lethal's been an inspiration to a lot of people
28:09but it's almost like Jay Lethal's
28:11fighting a younger version of Rusef and Oku
28:13trying to get the crowd together here.
28:15Oh!
28:16Oh!
28:17He certainly is!
28:18Getting that momentum going!
28:20And...
28:21Oh!
28:22Yeah!
28:23Killer Oku!
28:24Ok Oku!
28:25I see ya!
28:26And Oku!
28:28Has Lethal down!
28:29Sending!
28:30Let's go!
28:31Let's go!
28:32Let's go!
28:33Let's go!
28:34Making some time here though.
28:35Lethal back to his feet.
28:36Into the corner to hold himself up.
28:38Lethal's dangerous on his feet man.
28:39And brought himself to the corner
28:40even though he's holding himself up.
28:41Let's see what Oku's got.
28:42Oh!
28:43Oh!
28:44Yeah!
28:45You're absolutely right.
28:46Caprice is Lethal.
28:47Going up top now.
28:49It's Jay Lethal.
28:50All the way up top.
28:54Hell!
28:55Two left!
28:56Get caught!
28:57Caught!
28:58One!
28:59Two!
29:00Whoa!
29:01Wow!
29:02And...
29:03Oh!
29:05Oku back up!
29:06Ducks the clothesline!
29:07Come here again!
29:08Come here again!
29:09Come here again!
29:10Oh!
29:11Goose in trouble now!
29:12Lethal calling for it!
29:13Lethal!
29:14And...
29:15Jack Shadow doing Riccoboni!
29:17I promise you that much!
29:18One!
29:19Two!
29:20Three!
29:22The winner of this match!
29:24Gene Lethal!
29:27Wow!
29:28And here I thought...
29:32The heat might be dialed down a little bit
29:34coming out of supercars.
29:36Here I thought...
29:38Maybe everybody...
29:39Would be a little bagged up...
29:40And be bruised...
29:41These two...
29:42Left nothing to chance...
29:43And put it all on the line...
29:44And a great bout here this week in ROA!
29:46Yeah!
29:47Can you see it brother?
29:49Look!
29:50Look!
29:51This!
29:52The winner of the honor!
29:54You gotta watch this!
29:56Yeah!
29:57Hey...
29:58Jay Lethal once said that...
29:59About Lee Moriarty...
30:00The last time we were in Philadelphia...
30:01At the 2300 Arena...
30:02That's the code of honor!
30:03That's right!
30:04That's right!
30:05That's right!
30:06Code of honor in here too!
30:07Great sign of respect!
30:08Jay Lethal!
30:09Victorious!
30:10Here tonight!
30:11When you think about Philadelphia and professional wrestling...
30:23There's only one place that should come to mind...
30:25And it's on Swanson and Rittner...
30:27The 2300!
30:28See here's the deal...
30:29It's rough...
30:30It's gritty...
30:31It's true Philly!
30:32When you wrestle here...
30:33You show the world your heart and your guts...
30:36Now it's time for AEW to galvanize its legacy!

31:09Can't handle Dark Order!
31:10Five on three, you idiots!
31:12I'm pissed!
31:13That referee cheated!
31:14He grabbed Griff's foot!
31:15Balluno gave him a neck breaker!
31:17That's bull!
31:18I want a new ref!
31:19We should've won!
31:20We should've won that match!
31:21We should've won!
31:22Dark Order, I thought I was done with you!

31:25So if you ever want more...
31:26We're ready!
31:27And leave that little punk brat kid at home!
31:29Boys, I need to get drunk right now!
31:31Hey there...
31:32There is a bar close by!
31:34You're right!
31:35Okay!
31:36I like where his head's at!
31:37He's getting the car!
31:38He's getting the car!
31:39The one thing...
31:40The one thing about us is...
31:42Win or lose!
31:44We booze!
31:46This is the Frat House News Network!
31:47We're here!
31:48Somewhere in Texas!
31:49We don't know where it's going to storm!
31:50We got some people over here!
31:51Ready to play some games!
31:52What's up?
31:53Y'all say hookup?
31:54Beer pong!
31:55Y'all say beer pong?
31:56Beer pong!
31:57Y'all say beer pong again?
31:58Beer pong!
31:59Y'all say beer pong again?
32:01I'm too f***ing big!
32:02Y'all say hookup?
32:04Beer pong.
32:05Y'all say beer pong?
32:06Beer pong, go.
32:07Y'all say beer pong again?
32:11I'm too f***ing big!
32:21I'm the greatest!
32:23The last f***ing hit!
32:25The f***ing hit!
32:27The frat house, they are something else.
32:33But what about Echicero?
32:35Calling his shot at the Ring of Honor World Champion.
32:37Goes one on one tonight against Angelico.
32:40And it was that super card of honor that we saw Echicero following.
32:44An instant classic.
32:45One of the all-time great Ring of Honor World Championship bouts.
32:49Bandito took the early advantage, picking up the pace.
32:52Very quickly in the bout.
32:55But as Tekeshta found an opening,
32:58Bandito, unforced errors led to the shoulder being damaged.
33:02Bandito with some high impact moves until the chair from the outside,
33:07which Don Callis introduced.
33:09It was Tekeshta who tore the mask.
33:11Bloody Bandito hit a brain buster on the stage.
33:15But it was the heart, the resilience of Bandito that came firing through.
33:19Multiple attempts at the 21 plex.
33:22This took place. Tekeshta becoming the first athlete to kick out of the 21 plex
33:27in a Ring of Honor World Title bout.
33:29It was Bandito, but the presence of mind and the heart to counter Tekeshta
33:33and leave Arlington the World Champion.
33:36However, when he turned around, it was the alchemist who was waiting.
33:40And tonight, we see the man that has challenged the Ring of Honor World Champion with a huge test in front of him.
33:51This match is set for one fall in a 20 minute time limit.
33:54Introducing first, accompanied by San Penteco.
33:57Wrestling out of Johannesburg, South Africa.
34:00Weighing 209 pounds.
34:02He is representing Spanish Amount Project,
34:06Angelico!
34:09Well, Angelico, no stranger to single competition.
34:13No stranger to luchadores either, Caprice.
34:15Absolutely one of the best-traveled, well-trained, world-traveled wrestlers we have here.
34:22He's been everywhere, soaked up styles, blown himself places to learn more genres of wrestling.
34:29And now we have somebody here that is so confident in his body, his charisma, his movement, his flow.
34:37It's so natural in the movements of professional wrestling.
34:41The Cueto, originally trained by Negro Navarro in Mexico at the Torremont Dojo,
34:45referred by Ultimo Guerrero, the same school that produced Okada, Ibushi, Rocky Romero.
34:52Will that training bear fruit here tonight?
34:56Will his Lucha Libre expertise get him a win against this man?
35:00His opponent, accompanied by Rocky Romero,
35:04put to the Monterey, Mexico.
35:07Weighing 104 kilos,
35:10It's Checeros!
35:14The alchemist, Etcheros, called his shot, and not only that,
35:17but last night on Dynamite secured the win by putting the champion to sleep,
35:21getting the win for his team.
35:26I tell you, look your head to Cerro, man.
35:28This guy is unpredictable at best.
35:31Very strong Luchador.
35:34Never can tell what he's thinking.
35:36But you know he has bad intentions.
35:39And we saw those at AEW All-In Texas as well against the conglomeration,
35:49mixing it up, even mixing it up with Big Boom AJ,
35:53as well as former Ring of Honor world champion Kyle O'Reilly,
35:57former television champion Tomohiro Ishii, and Hologram.
36:01Oh, he...
36:03Yeah, I don't want no part of the code of honor.
36:08Yeah.
36:09They're waving off the code of honor.
36:11Oh, look at this.
36:15Even both men's movements, so...
36:17so different, unique.
36:19And Helico is frustrating with his movements,
36:25because it's like he could be right in front of you,
36:28but he's still hard to hold.
36:30The way he moves, you can have hold of him,
36:33the way he slips out of movements and be in front of you
36:36and then behind you at the same time is unpredictable.
36:39You can't find somebody to train for, to wrestle somebody like in Helico.
36:44Of course.
36:45Oh, wow!
36:46Oh, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho.
36:47And Echicero, oh, no stranger to winning the Big One,
36:50former CMLL world heavyweight champion,
36:53defeated Ultimo Guerrero to win that back in 2021.
36:56Had a number of huge defenses,
36:58including against Barbero Cabanario, Leforium,
37:00and we've seen on ROH.
37:02Echicero rolling through.
37:04Look at this, the movement into the hammerlock
37:07and forcing on Helico to get to the rope.
37:10A smooth transition there, Echicero,
37:12showing that underneath all of that, man,
37:15is still a great wrestler.
37:18And on Helico, checking in with Serpentico on the outside.
37:23I think something like that is dangerous, dangerous combination, man.
37:27Someone that's willing to do anything and has everything already, man.
37:31This is a dangerous competitor for somebody like Bandido.
37:33Oh, absolutely.
37:35And on Helico trying...
37:37Whoa!
37:38Hyper-extending the arm.
37:40You see the hip positioning so smart as Echicero.
37:42Yeah.
37:43Now, those legs are grapevine here.
37:44Whoa!
37:45Caught!
37:46And look at that.
37:48Sending on Helico back to the ropes.
37:51Nice!
37:52That's what I mean by these movements here.
37:56A lot of times Bandido's advantage is being a luchador and being a champion.
38:01A lot of people that Bandido's had to face, you have to get past that luchador experience.
38:06And when you have a luchador as champion, that's an advantage.
38:09But now you have a well-versed luchador that's won in your championship.
38:13It's a hard contendership.
38:15Yeah!
38:17Fal, in the second round.
38:18Becoming a heel editor, they're also a playoff.
38:19I'll take this effort for you watching.
38:20And immediately, you haven't come back, straight to any other.
38:21All right.
38:22And then, remember, Hosker DaHaw was just a little hard to play there.
38:23Oh, my God!
38:24And then, was it arrivé on the rest of the year?
