Both men shook hands and then the bell rang. Kincaid<br \/>\ncame across as a heel with a boot to the mid-section. Rush out-quicked<br \/>\nhim with an enziguri and a one count. He followed up with a flurry of<br \/>\nstrikes, but Kincaid fought right back with a lariat into the ropes.<br \/>\nKincaid hit a springboard neckbreaker and then stretched Rush across<br \/>\nhis back. Rush tried to fight back, but Kincaid was able to drop him<br \/>\nto the mat and score another nearfall.<\/p>\n<p>Kincaid tossed off some of his extra ring garb and lowered his straps.<br \/>\nHe and Rush jockeyed for position until Rush was able to kip up and<br \/>\nthen kick Kincaid in the face! He threw Kincaid to the outside and<br \/>\nthen followed up with a very crisp flip dive to the outside! Rush<br \/>\nthrew Kincaid back into the ring, as Kevin Kelly touted Rush&#8217;s amateur<br \/>\nwrestling credentials. Rush went to follow up, but Kincaid raked him<br \/>\nin the eyes and then slammed him into the corner. Kincaid set up for a<br \/>\ncoast-to-coast dive from across the ring. Rush rolled out of the ring,<br \/>\nbut Kincaid proceeded to jump across the ring and dropkick Rush<br \/>\nanyway!<\/p>\n<p>Kincaid followed up with an impressive dive\/rolling stunner combo to<br \/>\nthe outside, which drew a huge reaction from the crowd. Kincaid went<br \/>\nfor another cover, but Lio kicked out at two. He went to follow up<br \/>\nwith a double-foot stomp, but Rush moved out of the way, grabbed<br \/>\nKincaid, and then flipped him over into a one-man Spanish Fly for the<br \/>\nvictory!<\/p>\n<p>WINNER: Lio Rush via pinfall in <span class=\"aBn\" tabindex=\"0\" data-term=\"goog_1655323539\"><span class=\"aQJ\">5:02<\/span><\/span>.<\/p><div id=\"pwtor-58102279\" class=\"pwtor-content pwtor-entity-placement\"><div align=\"center\" data-freestar-ad=\"__336x280 __336x280\" id=\"pwtorchcom_test_300x250\">\r\n  <script data-cfasync=\"false\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n    freestar.config.enabled_slots.push({ placementName: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x250\", slotId: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x250\" });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p>ANALYSIS:\u00a0 Very impressive showing by both Kincaid and Rush in a short<br \/>\namount of time. Aside from their unique looks, both guys brought it in<br \/>\nthe ring with some incredible moves. Kincaid seemed to get the bigger<br \/>\npop from the crowd, although Rush won over fans of his own. As good as<br \/>\na five-minute match can be. (**3\/4)<\/p>\n<p>[Commercial Break]<\/p>\n<p>2 &#8211; SILAS YOUNG &amp; BEER CITY BRUISER vs. WILL FERRARA &amp; CAPRICE COLEMAN<\/p>\n<p>Prince Nana joined the commentary desk for this one. During intros,<br \/>\nclips aired from a few weeks ago on ROH TV when Silas and Bruiser<br \/>\nattacked &#8220;the boys.&#8221; A video chronicling the recent issues between<br \/>\nFerrara and Coleman followed. The heels refused to shake hands and<br \/>\nthen the bell rang. Silas had his hair in a man bun, which despite the<br \/>\nname, didn&#8217;t appear to be very manly. He started the match with<br \/>\nColeman. The ref called for a clean break in the corner, but Coleman<br \/>\naggressively came out with a fist.<\/p>\n<p>A slugfest ensued. Coleman came out on top with a dropkick, which was<br \/>\ngood for a one count. Coleman tagged Ferrara. Silas overpowered the<br \/>\nsmaller Ferrara, and charged him into the corner. Silas talked some<br \/>\ntrash, but Ferrara was able to roll him up for a one count. Ferrara<br \/>\nfollowed up with a German suplex, but Silas ended up back in his own<br \/>\ncorner and tagged Bruiser.<\/p>\n<p>Ferrara went to slam the big man, but Bruiser fell right on top of<br \/>\nhim. McGuinness pointed out Ferrara&#8217;s rookie mistakes on commentary.<br \/>\nBrusier slammed Ferrara and tagged his partner. Silas did some<br \/>\nshow-boating, before tagging Bruiser right back in. Bruiser missed a<br \/>\nsplash in the corner, which allowed Ferrara to throw some fists. The<br \/>\nnumbers game was too much for him, though, as Silas hit a second-rope<br \/>\nmoonsault followed by a splash from Bruiser. Bruiser went for the<br \/>\ncover, but Ferrara kicked out at two.<\/p>\n<p>Bruiser tagged Silas again, as the heels continued to dominate Ferrara<br \/>\nin their corner. Bruiser missed a Corner Cannonball, which allowed<br \/>\nFerrara to make the hot tag to Coleman! Caprice was a house afire as<br \/>\nhe nailed both of his opponents. He hit Silas with a scissor kick and<br \/>\nthen slammed him into the corner. Bruiser tried to get involved, but<br \/>\nColeman kicked him to the outside. Silas climbed to the second rope,<br \/>\nbut Coleman nailed a jumping hurricanrana from the mat! He went for<br \/>\nthe cover, but Bruiser broke it up.<\/p>\n<p>Ferrara thwarted a superplex attempt in the corner by powerbombing<br \/>\nBruiser off the top rope! Coleman went for the Sidesplitter, but Silas<br \/>\nran in and broke it up. He hit his backbreaker\/clothesline combo.<br \/>\nDalton Castle&#8217;s &#8220;boys&#8221; then appeared at ringside. The distraction<br \/>\nallowed Ferrara to nail Bruiser with a diving DDT on the outside,<br \/>\nmeanwhile Coleman nailed the Sidesplitter off the top rope and onto<br \/>\nSilas for the victory!<\/p><div id=\"pwtor-443260383\" class=\"pwtor-content-1 pwtor-entity-placement\"><!-- Tag ID: pwtorchcom_test_300x600 -->\r\n<div align=\"center\" data-freestar-ad=\"__336x280 __300x600\" id=\"pwtorchcom_test_300x600\">\r\n  <script data-cfasync=\"false\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n    freestar.config.enabled_slots.push({ placementName: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x600\", slotId: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x600\" });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p>WINNERS: Caprice Coleman &amp; Will Ferrara via pinfall in <span class=\"aBn\" tabindex=\"0\" data-term=\"goog_1655323540\"><span class=\"aQJ\">6:46<\/span><\/span>.<\/p>\n<p>ANALYSIS: Fine for what it was. I liked how Coleman and Ferrara were<br \/>\nplaying subtle heels due to their greed over Prince Nana&#8217;s envelopes.<br \/>\nI feel like the Dalton Castle-Silas Young feud is long past its<br \/>\nsell-by date, but at least having &#8220;the boys&#8221; involved in an actual<br \/>\nmatch against Young\/Bruiser will freshen things up a bit. (**1\/2)<\/p>\n<p>[Commercial Break]<\/p>\n<p><strong>Steve Corino&#8217;s Revenge<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>B.J. Whitmer and Adam Page were out next. It was an unexpected<br \/>\nappearance, according to Kevin Kelly. Clips then aired from a couple<br \/>\nweeks ago on ROH TV when Whitmer brutally attacked Colby Corino in an<br \/>\nattempt to prove that Mr. Wrestling III was, in fact, Steve Corino.<br \/>\nWhitmer claimed there were rumors that Corino was looking for revenge.<br \/>\nB.J. didn&#8217;t believe anyone actually wanted to fight him. Whitmer said<br \/>\nthat Corino&#8217;s only friends were either sitting at ringside or had left<br \/>\nthe company.<\/p>\n<p>Corino&#8217;s music blared, and out came &#8220;The King of Old School!&#8221; Corino<br \/>\nstood at ringside, while Whitmer got back on the mic and begged Corino<br \/>\nto get in the ring with him. Corino said that Whitmer appeared week-in<br \/>\nand week-out on ROH TV, yet no one cared what he had to say. Corino<br \/>\nsaid he wouldn&#8217;t walk through the ropes today or <span class=\"aBn\" tabindex=\"0\" data-term=\"goog_1655323541\"><span class=\"aQJ\">tomorrow<\/span><\/span>, but<br \/>\npromised that &#8220;someday it will happen.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Corino said that there was someone who was willing to fight B.J.,<br \/>\nbefore advising him that he needed to have eyes in the back of his<br \/>\nhead. The camera panned out and Adam Page grabbed Whitmer&#8217;s shoulder.<br \/>\nPage admitted that he was the man Steve was talking about! He said he<br \/>\nwas going to put the microphone down and beat the hell out of Whitmer.<br \/>\nHe made good on his word, as The Decade exploded in the ring! A huge<br \/>\nbrawl ensued, until an army of referees and officials settled things<br \/>\ndown.<\/p>\n<p><strong>ANALYSIS:<\/strong> Huge angle. I&#8217;ve been critical of The Decade&#8217;s storyline<br \/>\nover the the past couple months especially, but this segment was a<br \/>\nmajor step in the right direction for a couple of reasons. First, it<br \/>\nbreaks up The Decade. Second, it provides a surrogate for the hugely<br \/>\npopular Steve Corino. Page has been an afterthought recently, but I<br \/>\nthink he really gained some traction following his feud with Jay<br \/>\nBriscoe. Here&#8217;s hoping that ROH actually gives Page a serious push.<\/p>\n<p>[Commercial Break]<\/p>\n<p>Back from break, a Kevin Kelly voice-over ran down the 14th Anniversary<br \/>\nPPV card. Newly announced: War Machine defending the ROH World Tag<br \/>\nTeam Titles against The All Night Express in a No DQ match. Clips then<br \/>\naired from last week&#8217;s episode when ANX defeated War Machine via<br \/>\ndisqualification after Rowe slammed King through a table. Also<br \/>\nannounced was KUSHIDA\/A.C.H.\/Sydal vs.\u00a0The Young Bucks &amp; Kenny<br \/>\nOmega.<\/p>\n<p>3 &#8211; MARK BRISCOE vs. TIM HUGHES<\/p>\n<p>Hughes appeared on ROH TV several weeks back as &#8220;Brutal&#8221; Bob Evans&#8217;s<br \/>\nlatest protege. Hughes claimed he was doing what Evans taught him when<br \/>\nhe refused to shake Mark&#8217;s hand. The bell rang and Mark went on the<br \/>\nattack with some boots to the mid-section. He followed up with a<br \/>\njumping lariat off the ropes, but Hughes kicked out of a pin attempt.<br \/>\nBriscoe broke into some Red Neck Kung Fu and then delivered a vertical<br \/>\nsuplex. Hughes kicked out of another pin attempt. Briscoe hit a side<br \/>\nRussian legsweep, which was good for yet another nearfall.<\/p>\n<p>The announcers talked up The Briscoes vs. Elgin\/Tanahashi at the 14th<br \/>\nAnniversary PPV, as Hughes took control. He yelled and screamed before<br \/>\nhitting Briscoe with a side slam. Hughes went for the cover, but<br \/>\nBriscoe kicked out. Hughes gave a shout-out to &#8220;Brutal&#8221; Bob before<br \/>\nslapping Mark in the face. Briscoe came back with Red Neck Kung Fu,<br \/>\nand then threw several chops and blows while Hughes was up against the<br \/>\nropes. Briscoe followed up with an enziguri and then a running kick in<br \/>\nthe corner. Mark hit a fisherman buster and then Froggy Bow from the<br \/>\ntop for the victory!<\/p>\n<p>WINNER: Mark Briscoe via pinfall in <span class=\"aBn\" tabindex=\"0\" data-term=\"goog_1655323542\"><span class=\"aQJ\">3:52<\/span><\/span>.<\/p>\n<p>ANALYSIS: Unremarkable squash victory for Briscoe that served as an<br \/>\nopportunity for the announcers to hype Briscoes vs. Elgin\/Tanahashi at<br \/>\nthe 14th Anniversary PPV. (*1\/2)<\/p>\n<p>[Commercial Break]<\/p>\n<p>4 &#8211; Then-IWGP Jr. Hvt. tag champions THE YOUNG BUCKS (NICK &amp; MATT JACKSON) vs. MATT SYDAL &amp; A.C.H. &#8211; non-title match<\/p>\n<p>Sydal had more of a presence than usual during his entrance. The<br \/>\nannouncers commented on his positivity being infectious. Both teams<br \/>\nexchanged words before the bell. Both Matts started the match. Jackson<br \/>\nheld up his title belt, but Sydal grabbed it and disrespectfully<br \/>\ntossed it aside. Matt Jackson was incensed, so he pummeled Sydal to<br \/>\nthe ground. A.C.H. tried to run in, but ate a superkick from Nick! The<br \/>\nBucks then hit a double-team on Sydal, which sent him to the outside.<br \/>\nThe Bucks followed up with a pair of dives to their opponents on the<br \/>\noutside. They posed for the fans at ringside, which allowed Sydal to<br \/>\ncome right back with a change-in-direction dive onto both Bucks!<\/p>\n<p>Back in the ring, Matt Jackson raked Sydal&#8217;s eyes. Sydal fought right<br \/>\nback with a lariat in the ropes and then tagged A.C.H., who came in<br \/>\nwith a foot stomp off the top rope. A.C.H. hit a leg lariat on Matt in<br \/>\nthe ring and then then a running kick from to apron to Nick. A.C.H.<br \/>\ndid some acrobatics in the ring before nailing Matt with a dropkick,<br \/>\nbut Nick returned and nailed A.C.H. with a superkick. Sydal reappeared<br \/>\nand hit a double rana on Nick and Matt, but The Bucks came right back<br \/>\nwith a double superkick! The Bucks showed off with a phantom<br \/>\nsuperkick, as the show cut to its final break at the <span class=\"aBn\" tabindex=\"0\" data-term=\"goog_1655323543\"><span class=\"aQJ\">3:05<\/span><\/span> point in the<br \/>\nmatch.<\/p>\n<p>[Commercial Break]<\/p>\n<p>Back at <span class=\"aBn\" tabindex=\"0\" data-term=\"goog_1655323544\"><span class=\"aQJ\">4:05<\/span><\/span>, The Bucks were in firm control of A.C.H. They hit a pair<br \/>\nof dropkicks in stereo, and then Nick dropkicked Sydal off the ring<br \/>\napron. Nick tagged his brother, who motioned for a big move.<br \/>\nUnfortunately for The Bucks, a miscommunication caused Matt to charge<br \/>\ninto Nick! A.C.H. seized on the opportunity and hit Matt with the Get<br \/>\nOver Here. A.C.H. slowly crawled to his corner and then finally made<br \/>\nthe tag to Sydal!<\/p>\n<p>Sydal dodged a superkick and then kicked Nick in the head. He hit Matt<br \/>\nJackson with a sliced legdrop and then a standing Shooting Star Press,<br \/>\nwhich was good for a nearfall. A.C.H. and Sydal went for a<br \/>\ndouble-team, but the Bucks broke it up momentarily. Sydal fought back<br \/>\non the outside by catching Nick&#8217;s superkick and re-directing it at<br \/>\nMatt! Matt Jackson came right back with a superkick, however. A.C.H.<br \/>\ntried to regain control with a big dive to the outside, but jumped<br \/>\nright into a double superkick from The Bucks!<\/p>\n<p>Back in the ring, Sydal reversed More Bang for Your Buck by hitting a<br \/>\nhurricanrana on Nick that sent him into Matt! Sydal went for the<br \/>\nShooting Star Press, but ate a superkick from Matt! The Bucks hit<br \/>\ntheir powerbomb\/enziguri double-team in the corner, followed by their<br \/>\nswanton combo in the ropes. Matt Jackson went for the cover, but Sydal<br \/>\nkicked out at two! The Bucks went for More Bang for Your Buck again,<br \/>\nbut Sydal got the knees up on Nick and then the boots up on Matt! Out<br \/>\nof nowhere, A.C.H. hit a double footstomp on Matt Jackson, and then<br \/>\nSydal immediately followed up with a Shooting Star Press for the<br \/>\nvictory!<\/p>\n<p>WINNERS: Matt Sydal &amp; A.C.H. via pinfall in <span class=\"aBn\" tabindex=\"0\" data-term=\"goog_1655323545\"><span class=\"aQJ\">8:49<\/span><\/span>.<\/p>\n<p>ANALYSIS: Really good while it lasted. The Bucks did their usual<br \/>\nroutine, but Sydal and A.C.H. helped take things up a notch. I&#8217;m not a<br \/>\nfan of how The Bucks have been used since signing with ROH late last<br \/>\nyear, but at least this gave some badly-needed rub to the floundering<br \/>\nSydal and A.C.H. (***1\/2)<\/p>\n<p><strong>FINAL REAX:<\/strong> Solid episode that was book-ended by two great matches.<br \/>\nI&#8217;ve been critical of the ROH product recently, but this week&#8217;s<br \/>\nepisode was a step in the right direction. Kincaid and Rush had a<br \/>\ngreat match and added some intrigue to the Top Prospect Tournament.<br \/>\nThere were also some developments in the mid-card, culminating with<br \/>\nAdam Page&#8217;s babyface turn.
