Marty counters a Suplex, King lands on his feet and hits an\nEnziguri which sends Scurll to the outside. King tries to follow up and\nattempts a Corkscrew Plancha but misses and Scurll makes him pay with a Tornado\nDDT off the apron, Marty gets Kenny back in the ring and gets a 2 count from a\nHalf Nelson Suplex, Grounded Enziguri and Powerbomb Sequence , Marty still on\nthe offensive places King on the middle rope and hits a 619 and gets another 2\ncount following a&nbsp;Casadora Pin attempt. He then hotdogs for the crowd but\npays for it when Kenny plants him with a thunderous Spinebuster.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Both men then trade various pin attempts but to no avail, Marty\nthen stomps on Kenny&#8217;s hand and attempts the trademark Finger Snap only for it\nto be countered by King with an Eddy Gordo type kick. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Marty Catches King on the top turnbuckle and delivers a Superplex\nand then he tries to follow up with The Graduation but King counters and hits\nhis finisher, The Royal Flush but Scurll out of instinct rolls to the outside,\nmuch to the dismay of King.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Kenny obviously frustrated grabs a steel chair and tries bringing\nit into the match.But that was Kenny&#8217;s downfall because as the referee was\ngetting the chair out of the ring Marty, in typical Villainous fashion hits\nKing with the signature umbrella in the face behind the refs back for the 3\ncount.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">WINNER- Marty Scurll at 21:40.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A decent opening match, which given the recent history between\nthese two, had the right finish. The crowd were solidly behind Marty who now\nwaits in the wings to see who he fights at G1 Supercard for the ROH World\nChampionship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Next up- <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">ROH TV CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Jeff Cobb (C) VS Shane Taylor<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Flashback video package showing Taylor leaving Cobb laid out in the\nmiddle of the ring following the &#8216; Greetings from 216&#8217; (Rikishi Driver)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I was very intrigued to see how Shane\nTaylor would do in this spot. To my knowledge, this was his first singles match\non ROH PPV, so it was certainly a big opportunity for him. Well, when the dust\nsettled, he ended up having an awesome bout with Jeff Cobb for the ROH World TV\nTitle. This was just two big dudes beating the crap out of each other for\nthirteen minutes. They charged at each other as soon as the bell rang, and they\nnever slowed down. Cobb showed off his insane power on a number of occasions,\nas he managed to lift Taylor up for a delayed Pumphandle Suplex and a delayed German\nSuplex. Even with those incredible feats of strength, putting away Shane Taylor\nwas far from easy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At one point, Cobb hit a Lariat on Taylor with such force that he\nsent himself tumbling to the floor. I\u2019m not sure if that spot was intentional,\nbut it really helped put over the fact that Cobb was giving it everything he\nhad as he tried to put Taylor away. Speaking of Taylor, he really took the\nfight to Cobb here, as he nailed the former Olympian with some big moves of his\nown. By far the biggest moment of the match saw Taylor hit a running Canadian\nDestroyer on Cobb, which was absolutely bonkers. Shortly after that spot, Cobb\nmanaged to hit Taylor with Tour Of The Islands, but it didn\u2019t finish Taylor\noff, so he had to hit a second to finally win the match. This was a boss fight\nif I\u2019ve ever seen one. A true \u2018slobberknocker\u2019 for sure. Cobb delivers another\ngreat title defence on PPV, while Taylor really stepped up to the plate with a\nperformance that was probably the best of his career.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yet again I&#8217;m left in awe with Jeff Cobb and I&#8217;m still wondering\nif there is a better pure athlete in the business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Mayu Iwatani (w\/Sumie Sakai) vs. Kelly Klein (w\/Camp Klein) for\nthe WOH Championship.<\/strong>\nRiccaboni noted that Klein has a 2-1 record against Iwatani, but added that\nunfortunately the loss is when the WOH Championship was on the line. Klein\ncontrolled the early offense. Iwatani performed a nice Northern Lights Suplex\ninto a bridge for a two count at 3:35. Iwatani performed a double stomp and a\nrunning kick for a two count. Klein dumped Iwatani to the floor and the colour\ncommentators questioned her strategy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Iwatani performed a German Suplex, then Klein returned the favour\nand dropped Iwatani on her head at 6:20. Damn. Iwatani popped up seconds later.\nDouble damn. Iwatani went for a top rope Moonsault, but Klein avoided it. Klein\nwent on the offensive, but Iwatani caught her in an Inside Cradle and scored\nthe pin\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Winner and STILL WOH Champion Mayu Iwatani in a relatively quick\n8+ minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Klein&#8217;s over confidence cost her here and there\u2019s a lesson to be\nlearnt, if you have the chance to put your opponent away, then do it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>The Kingdom VS Lifeblood<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But before this match even started, out came a very impatient Matt\nTaven saying he couldn&#8217;t wait another minute for his match with Jay Lethal, so O\nguess the main event has come early &#8230;&#8230;&#8230;..not that I\u2019m complaining.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Jay Lethal (C) VS Matt Taven<\/strong> for the ROH World Championship<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This rivalry is soooooooo personal, and to be honest it showed,\nthe hatred, the emotions of both men in this match, they actually wanted to\nreally hurt each other, with Taven going after Lethal&#8217;s left shoulder and\nLethal attacking the surgically repaired left knee of Taven, Both men emptied\ntheir respective arsenals in the ring and not even hitting each other with\nstolen finishers (Lethal with the Climax and Taven with the Cutter), I will\nadmit that this should have been Taven&#8217;s night but Lethal showed the heart of a\nchampion with what seemed to be divine intervention. Having sustained multiple\nrunning knee strikes to the skull (5 in a row I think it was) which seemed to\nhave the Champ out for the count. Lethal himself hit the Lethal Injection twice\nfor 2 near falls and countered a Taven Frog Splash with a Mid-Air Cutter. In\nthe end with both men exhausted, senior official Todd Sinclair deemed this\nmatch a time limit draw, Taven was angry with himself, even shouting at Lethal\nthat he hates him. After the match Marty Scurll came to the ring to survey the\ndamage and took off with the ROH Championship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">WInner &#8211; Time Limit Draw ( 60 Minutes )&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On a personal not , if you are a fan of ROH or if you are not I\nimplore you to watch this match , great story telling, lots of OMG moments and\nthe emotions from both men and the crowd was brilliant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ian Riccaboni stood on the stage and hyped the G1 Supercard for\nApril 6. Riccaboni introduced Mega Ran, who came out with a buddy of his. He\ntold the crowd to make some noise for what they\u2019d seen so far. He said he\ndecided to write a song about ROH going to Maddison Square Garden. First, the\ntwo men threw out some free merchandise. Mega Ran had the fans clap, entered\nthe ring with his buddy, and then performed his song.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Bully Ray came out and threw a chair into the ring. Ran asked him\nwhat was happening. Ray complained about Ran wasting time on his pay-per-view\nand said he hates rap. He got in Ran\u2019s buddy\u2019s face and told him to wipe the\nsmile off his face. Bully mocked Ran for getting his name from a video game.\nRay said Ran is probably one of those marks who played as him in the WWE video\ngames. \u201cWell, actually, I chose D-Von,\u201d Ran said. \u201cTestify.\u201d Ray shoved both\nmen down and barked at them to leave the ring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Bully Ray cut a promo about how no one in ROH or NJPW has ever performed\nat MSG. Ray said he sold out MSG, wrestled at WrestleMania at MSG, and main\nevented MSG. Ray barked at a couple of kids and said he\u2019d slap them both in the\nface. Ray said no one is worthy in ROH or NJPW to step foot in the ring with\nhim at MSG. The fans chanted for Flip Gordon. Ray asked if they meant the guy\nwith the busted knee. Ray looked into the camera and issued an open challenge\nto anyone in the entire wrestling business to meet him in a street fight at\nMSG. \u201cI\u2019ll see you in the Garden, punk,\u201d Ray closed\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A video package set up the next match\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Rush vs. Bandido.<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Dalton Castle replaced Aldis on commentary and had The Boys at his\nside. Rush caught Bandido going for a Hurricanrana at ringside and then slammed\nhim through a table on the floor. Rush brought Bandido back inside the ring and\nended up doing his pose by lying down in the ring. Rush went after Bandido\u2019s\nmask briefly. Meanwhile, Castle conceded that he hasn\u2019t been at his best\nlately, so he came out to see two of ROH\u2019s finest in hopes that it would bring\nsomething out of him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Bandido came back and performed a suicide dive and followed up\nwith a dive over the top rope onto Rush at ringside. Back inside the ring, Rush\nperformed a Canadian Destroyer. Bandido ended up on his feet and followed up\nwith a move of his own that left both men down. The crowd counted along with\nreferee Paul Turner\u2019s count in Spanish until both men got back to their feet.\nNice. Rush and Bandido fought for position on the ropes. Rush powered up\nBandido for a deadlift Superplex for a near fall. Bandido came right back with\na Suplex of his own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Bandido positioned Rush so that he was hanging on the middle rope,\nthen performed a springboard 450 splash. Bandido went for a springboard move\nand Rush caught him with a Dropkick that sent Bandido to the floor. Rush\nperformed a flip dive onto Bandido. Rush came right back with a huracanrana\nfrom the apron that left both men down at ringside. Back inside the ring,\nBandido charged at Rush, who Suplexed him into the corner. Castle gushed over\nthe match and the wrestlers. Rush performed a running dropkick on Bandido, who\nwas seated in the corner. Rush pinned Bandido<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Winner &#8211; Rush in just over 15 minutes, a good contest, both men\ngave a good account of themselves, to be honest it was the first time I&#8217;ve\nwatched RUSH in action, and I liked what I saw, more to come from both of these\nmen I&#8217;m sure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After the match Dalton&nbsp;Castle issued a challenge to Rush in\nsomewhat broken Spanish and Rush accepted, I think castle wants to get back on\ntrack after a dyer couple of months and he sees Rush as his starting point.\nWarning for Castle &#8211; Don&#8217;t take this guy lightly&#8230;\u2026..<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ok next up is the ROH Tag Team Championships- Las Vegas Street\nFight (this is NOT going to be for the weak of heart)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Jay Briscoe and Mark Briscoe vs. PCO and Brody King in a Las Vegas\nStreet Fight for the ROH Tag Titles.<\/strong> King wore a mask to the ring prior to the match and then threw it\nout to the crowd. Cruise delivered in-ring introductions for the title match.\nThe match started just over a minute before the pay-per-view\u2019s scheduled end\ntime. The wrestlers threw chairs into the ring once the bell rang. The Briscoes\nwon an early chair duel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">PCO slammed Mark from the apron through a table on the floor. King\nthrew chops at PCO to fire him up, then whipped him into Jay in the corner.\nKing followed with his own move on Jay. King slammed a chair into the groin of\nJay. Mark hit PCO with a kendo stick from the floor. PCO no-sold it and went\nafter him, but Mark dumped him onto the barricade. The Briscoes isolated King\nand set up a chair in one corner and a table in another. King ran Jay into the\nchair, then put Mark through the table. Jay bled from the forehead as the teams\nfought at ringside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At 10:00, the Briscoes backdropped PCO onto the edge of the apron.\nDamn. Jay had an old school crimson mask as he worked over King inside the\nring. A pair of tables were set up next to one another on the floor. Jay tried\nunsuccessfully to Suplex King onto them, but Mark ended up performing a Blockbuster\nfrom the top rope and both he and King fell through the tables. Jay got a near\nfall on King inside the ring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">PCO was also bleeding when he returned to the ring. PCO broke\nkendo sticks over his knee. The Briscoes picked up the pieces of the broken\nsticks and used them as weapons. Mark stabbed PCO in the throat with the broken\nedge of the stick. At 17:50, King, who was also bleeding, threw Mark from the\nropes over a table on the floor and onto some chairs just past the table. Damn.\nKing and Jay fought on the apron. King appeared to be going for a Piledriver,\nbut he and Jay both tumbled sideways from the apron onto a table that collapsed\non the floor. King placed Jay in the ring and put a chair over him, then PCO\nperformed a Moonsault from the top rope and scored the pin\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Winners and NEW ROH Tag Team Champions PCO &amp; Brody King\nbeating the veteran Briscoes in a little over 19 minutes<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">ROH TV review 21\/03\/2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">RP Funding Centre , Lakeland, FL<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On Commentary- Ian Riccaboni &amp; Colt Cabana<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Straight into the action and its a 6 man tag team match <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Dalton Castle &amp; The Boys VS LifeBlood (Bandido , Juice\nRobinson &amp; &#8216;Hot Sauce&#8217; Tracy Williams)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Both teams get a positive reaction from the crowd.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Juice And Dalton start things off and after throwing each other\nthrough the ropes a couple of times we come to a very comedic stand still after\nboth men do their respective struts in the ring, both men seem very fun loving\nand a handshake is offered by Juice , Castle accepts and quickly surprises\nJuice with a school boy roll up for a 2 count , Juice not impressed by that. Tracy\nWilliams and Boy 2 are now in the ring after respective tags, both boys try\nknife edge chops on Williams but they have no effect and he brings them both\ntogether then knocks them both down (CB)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After the commercial break, Bandido is in the ring with Castle and\nhe is in the wrong part of town as the boys and Dalton try to injure Bandido&#8217;s\narm and they get a near fall for their efforts. Bandido gets some distance\nafter hitting a beautiful Springboard Corkscrew Plancha to both boys and\nmanages to tag a very excited Juice who is a house of fire with corner Clotheslines,\nCannonballs to both boys.Boy 1 gets a very dizzying airplane spin into a double\nknee Gutbuster (I would have lost my dinner at this point) and if that wasn&#8217;t\nenough Juice hot him with a picture perfect Pulp Friction only for Dalton to\nmake the save.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Then it all gets confusing who the legal men are eventually after\nback and forth offence from both teams Bandido launched Boy2 into Castle who\ngoes to the outside and it allows Bandido to hit his 21Plex for the 1-2-3. Winners\nare LifeBlood in just under 10 minutes. A good outing for LifeBlood &#8211; Bandido\nshowing why he is the MVP of the group with a standout performance.

After that Willie goes\non a tear hitting Titus with a Rough Ryder , clothesline, spinning back elbow,\nsmiley slam, corner yakuza kick and an inverted cannonball ,Titus wisely rolls\nto the outside but he is still not safe as Willie comes over the top rope with\na slingshot somersault Plancha.Titus snaps Willie&#8217;s neck on the top rope for\nthe advantage but gets caught with a Samoan drop , Mack then kips up and\nflattens Titus with a standing Moonsault,.
