PAGEOT, PWTORCH CONTRIBUTOR<\/h3>\n<p><em>Commentary: Ian Riccaboni, Caprice Coleman<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Opening theme.<\/p>\n<p>-Ian Riccaboni was at the backstage news desk. He sent out consolation to Quinn McKay over her being eliminated from the women\u2019s tournament and ran down tonight\u2019s card.<\/p>\n<p>-Video package on Angelina Love. She\u2019s a seven-time women\u2019s champion and one-time tag champion. She\u2019s not threatened by anybody. She spoke about getting a bye in the first round of the tournament by beating McKay and implied that Amy Rose asked her to take a dive here in exchange for Max doing some of The Allure\u2019s dirty work for them on the Wednesday YouTube show.<\/p>\n<p>-No video package on Max The Impaler.<\/p>\n<p>-In the arena Love made her entrance alone without Mandy Leon. She kept looking over her shoulder. Lenny Leonard was on commentary and Max had Amy Rose with them. They were undefeated in ROH thus far.<\/p>\n<p>Rose took a mic and asked Love if she was sure she wanted to do this. Love brushed her off and Rose said she warned her. Max charged.<\/p>\n<p><strong>(1) MAX THE IMPALER (w\/Amy Rose) vs. ANGELINA LOVE \u2013 QUARTER-FINAL MATCH IN THE ROH WOMEN\u2019S CHAMPIONSHIP TOURNAMENT<\/strong><\/p><div id=\"pwtor-785328462\" 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>Love clubbed them in the back to no effect. Max charged again but Love jumped out of the way and bailed to ringside. Rose got her in face again. Max used the distraction to grab Love. Max tossed Love into the barricade. [C]<\/p>\n<p>Max stalked Love at ringside. Max swung, Love moved again, and Max\u2019s hand smacked the ring post. Love shoved them into the ring post and scrambled into the ring. Max continued to no-sell Love\u2019s attacks. Torture rack to Love. Love thrown throat-first across the top rope. Love fell to the floor. Love thrown into the ring post. Sleeperhold to Love in the ropes. She wouldn\u2019t break the hold so she was disqualified.<\/p>\n<p>WINNER: Angelina Love in 5:53.<\/p>\n<p>-Rose smiled, then signaled for Max to let go. They dropped Love, who fell to the floor. Rose held up Max\u2019s hand in victory. Love rolled around on the floor, nursing her arm. [C]<\/p>\n<p><em>(Pageot\u2019s Perspective: Terrible booking. When they announced the brackets, I questioned why they were putting the top two heels in the division against each other but assumed there must be a good reason. Nope. Love gets double-teamed and tossed around like a rag doll for five minutes to the extent that we actually feel sympathetic for her by the end. Max\u2019s undefeated streak ends. Rose looks stupid for allowing Max to get disqualified and then celebrating, despite them being eliminated from the tournament. And we still have no explanation for their partnership in the first place. If Max is so tough and invulnerable, why do they need Rose? What does she offer to Max? Certainly not experience and guidance, as we saw here. If Max went berserk and got themselves disqualified while Rose tried to talk them into letting go of the sleeperhold, there might have been something there. Instead we got this, which makes no sense on any level.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Love faces Rok-C in the semi-finals. Unless this was the start of a face turn for Love and we see a clean fight there with Rok-C going over and Love adhering to the code of honor, I don\u2019t understand what the point of this was. But I also don\u2019t see the point of a Love face turn either when there are barely any heels in the division to begin with.)<\/em><\/p>\n<p>-Chelsea Green replaced Caprice Coleman, joining Riccaboni and Leonard on commentary.<\/p>\n<p>Allysin Kay got a picture in picture promo during her entrance. She hyped this as lariat vs. lariat. Adora got a PIP promo too. She is technically sound and has the entire community on her back.<\/p><div id=\"pwtor-1152448575\" 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><strong>(2) PAN AFRIKAN WORLD DIASPORA WRESTLING CHAMPION TRISH ADORA vs. NWA WOMEN\u2019S TAG TEAM CHAMPION ALLYSIN KAY \u2013 QUARTER-FINAL MATCH IN THE ROH WOMEN\u2019S CHAMPIONSHIP TOURNAMENT<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Side headlocks exchanged. Roll-up from Adora for two. Even back and forth grappling. Adora wanted a headscissors but Kay slammed her to the mat and tried for a cross arm breaker. [C]<\/p>\n<p>More submission grappling on the mat with neither woman getting an advantage. Kay dumped Adora to ringside. Kay took control in the ring and leaned heel with some strikes and trash talk. Adora fired up and hit a crossbody. Backbreaker. DDT. Kay avoided Lariat Tubman and tried for a kimura. Adora avoided it but got caught with a rear naked choke. Adora ducked a discus clothesline and hit an enziguiri. Kay with a flurry of elbows. Adora came off the ropes with a clothesline that Riccaboni called as Lariat Tubman (though I\u2019ve always seen Tubman delivered as a spin-out discus clothesline).<\/p>\n<p>WINNER: Trish Adora in 12:22.<\/p>\n<p>-The commentary team put over Love and \u201cthree relative newcomers\u201d as the tournament\u2019s final four. [C]<\/p>\n<p><em>(Pageot\u2019s Perspective: A slow moving match that would have greatly benefited from live fans. I believe this was their first time meeting and this is a rivalry that will only get better if it gets run back a couple times. I\u2019m thrilled to see Adora advance and also a bit surprised. Due to her time in Impact and NWA, Kay was one of the biggest names in the tournament to ROH fans who aren\u2019t familiar with the indies. Adora faces Miranda Alize in the semi-finals. Alize going to the finals would be baffling but right now the scenario that makes the most sense in my mind is Rok-C beating Alize to win the belt. Adora going over Love for the title is my #2 guess but I can\u2019t get past the fact that Rok-C\u2019s win over Sumie Sakai is still the only match in the tournament to get a TV main event slot. That means something.)<\/em><\/p>\n<p>-A video ran down the lineup so far for September 12\u2019s <em>Death Before Dishonor<\/em> pay-per-view:<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px\">Eli Isom vs. Dalton Castle<br \/>\nThe OGK vs. The Briscoes<br \/>\nLFI vs. Shane Taylor Promotions for the trios titles<br \/>\nJosh Woods vs. Jonathan Gresham for the pure title<br \/>\nBandido vs. Brody King vs. Demonic Flamita vs. EC3 for the world title<\/p>\n<p>-Dalton Castle joined Riccaboni and Coleman on commentary.<\/p>\n<p>-Eli Isom got a backstage promo. For months, his sole focus has been the TV title. For months, he\u2019s climbed the ranks and overcome every obstacle. He made a promise to his family that he will beat Dragon Lee. (Prediction: he won\u2019t.)<\/p>\n<p>Lee got a PIP promo. He said Isom\u2019s a good wrestler but he\u2019s the champion and he\u2019d defend what he never lost. Castle took a phone call before the match could start.<\/p>\n<p><strong>(3) DRAGON LEE vs. \u201cINFINITE\u201d ELI ISOM \u2013 ROH WORLD TELEVISION CHAMPIONSHIP<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Collar and elbow tie-up. Quick commercial break. [C]<\/p>\n<p>Hurricanrana sent Isom to the floor. Lee flew over the ropes and took him out. Isom returned the favor a couple minutes later. High Fly Flow from Isom for a near-fall. They traded boots mid-ring. [C]<\/p>\n<p>They traded German suplexes with both no-selling. Poisonrana from Lee. Clothesline from Isom. Clothesline from Lee. Neckbreaker from Isom for two. Lee hung Isom over the top rope. Isom held himself in place so Lee could dropkick him off the top rope. Lee wanted a running knee but Isom blocked. Two knees to Isom\u2019s head. More kicks to the shoulder. Isom with a brainbuster for a near-fall. Lee pulled down his knee pad and hit Incinerator for the pin.<\/p>\n<p>WINNER: Dragon Lee in 12:25 to retain the TV title.<\/p>\n<p>-Code of honor and hug from Lee. Riccaboni wondered if Lee was turning face.<\/p>\n<p><em>(Pageot\u2019s Perspective: As I mentioned a couple weeks ago, I\u2019ve only been back following ROH for a month now after being gone for a year and a half. Isom definitely looks more matured and confident than his days as enhancement talent with Shinobi Shadow Squad. Like Josh Woods, it\u2019s been a long, long, slow climb up the card but he\u2019s still not there yet. This was my first taste of 2021 Dalton Castle and that\u2019s definitely a star that\u2019s fallen. I fear he\u2019s stayed too long in ROH. He\u2019s somebody that could use a real breath of fresh air from a run on the indies or a couple months in another promotion. Lee felt like one of any dozen luchadors here, though it\u2019s hard to get too much personality across in one match.)<\/em><\/p>\n<p>-Next week: it\u2019s Angelina Love vs. Rok-C and Trish Adora vs. Miranda Alize in the semi-finals of the Women\u2019s Championship tournament plus Shane Taylor Promotions vs. La Faccion Ingobernable in an eight-man tag.<\/p>\n<div class=\"pwtor-end-article-groups pwtor-entity-placement\" id=\"pwtor-2601765866\"><div id=\"pwtor-2540973414\"><div align=\"center\" data-freestar-ad=\"__336x280\" id=\"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\">\r\n  <script data-cfasync=\"false\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n    freestar.config.enabled_slots.push({ placementName: \"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\", slotId: \"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\" });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\nTHANK YOU FOR VISITING<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>ROH TV REPORT AUGUST 30, 2021 AIRED ON ROHWRESTLING.COM REPORT BY HARLEY R.
