It wasn\u2019t a flat out terrible match, but was by no means good either. La Catalina is one to watch as her work in CMLL has been impressive, but this match just wasn\u2019t her best showing at all.<\/p>\n<h3>Taya Valkyrie promo: MISS<\/h3>\n<p>I\u2019m sorry, this was cringey for me. She comes off like a want to be fashion model, not a Pure Division wrestler. We can only hope she\u2019s there to be an early exit in the tournament, as this character just doesn\u2019t fit there at all.<\/p>\n<h3>Lance Archer vs. Diego Hill: HIT<\/h3>\n<p>Archer\u2019s return to ROH starts off with a quick submission win. This is a hit. Yes, it was a squash and yes, I\u2019m critical at times of squash matches, but it was well executed, not too lengthy, and served its purpose well. Also, that finish with the moonsault catch into the submission leglock was unique from Archer. The post-match Blackout added a bit of extra heel heat for Archer which was good to see.<\/p>\n<h3>Athena video package: HIT<\/h3>\n<p>Hypes up her return next week, and does it well in a very short time that it was given. Almost everything she has touched has turned to gold since joining ROH; this was no exception.<\/p>\n<p><em>ARTICLE CONTINUED BELOW&#8230;<\/em><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3>Check out the latest episode of &#8220;Wrestling Coast to Coast&#8221; with Chris Maitland and Justin McClelland, part of the PWTorch Dailycast line-up: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.spreaker.com\/episode\/wrestling-coast-to-coast-maitland-mcclelland-review-acw-aftershock-including-holliday-vs-cardona-sent-to-slaughter-vs-now-more--66322321\">CLICK HERE<\/a> to stream (or search \u201cpwtorch\u201d on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or any other iOS or Android app to subscribe free)<\/h3>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Wrestling Coast to Coast - Maitland &amp; McClelland review ACW Aftershock including Holliday vs. Cardona, Sent to Slaughter vs. Now, more\" src=\"https:\/\/widget.spreaker.com\/player?episode_id=66322321&amp;theme=light&amp;playlist=false&amp;playlist-continuous=false&amp;chapters-image=true&amp;episode_image_position=right&amp;hide-logo=false&amp;hide-likes=false&amp;hide-comments=false&amp;hide-sharing=false&amp;hide-download=true\" width=\"100%\" height=\"200px\" frameborder=\"0\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3>Pure Champion Lee Moriarty vs. Matt Mako from the Dean Show: HIT<\/h3>\n<p>So, they showed this match which I was so excited for. Mako, as I\u2019ve said before, has so much potential going forward and is a rising talent in indie wrestling as a whole. Mako has seemingly wrestled everywhere this year and he keeps sharpening his game with each time he is on a show. While he didn\u2019t win the title this time, I definitely look forward to him becoming Pure Champion someday soon. This match was great, and I would personally love to see them have a longer match at some point as the 10 minutes we got here flew by so fast. Fast-paced technical bout that was great, I just wish it had gone another 5-10 minutes. Match of the night for me this week.<\/p>\n<h3>Blue Panther &amp; Hologram &amp; Neon &amp; Valiente &amp; Virus vs. Averno &amp; Dr. Cerebro &amp; Euforia &amp; Volador Jr. &amp; Xelhua: HIT<\/h3>\n<p>This match was a bit of a Blue Panther showcase at times, but hey it\u2019s Blue Panther, let him have a moment! Xelhua is already so good for being just 21 years old, not to mention the fact that he has been wrestling for less than 2 years. Get used to that name, I have a feeling we will be seeing and hearing it more and more over the years to come. He was the first eliminated, but looked great and he has been one of the most exciting technical Lucha talents to watch over the last year, in my opinion. This was fun to watch.<\/p>\n<h3>Satnam Singh vs. Facade: HIT<\/h3>\n<p>Not much to talk about here, but it was a solid showcase for Satnam. That chokeslam finish was brutal, too. Short and well executed; it\u2019s a hit. Satnam badly needs an actual feud or story, though; he just seems to be \u201cthere\u201d when he has the ability for much more if used well by ROH.<\/p><div id=\"pwtor-41313008\" 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<h3>Frat House (Griff Garrison &amp; Cole Karter) vs. Hologram &amp; Rhino: HIT<\/h3>\n<p>This match was pretty much the Hologram show, and damn was it a fun show when he was in the ring. Plus, Rhino hitting a Gore on a Frat House member is always fun to see. Despite his strong win record in AEW, Hologram still lacks a defined role or feud, which is surprising given his huge upside. Here\u2019s to hoping his appearance in ROH means he gets a clear direction there, as he\u2019s far too talented to be just another member of the roster.<\/p>\n<h3>Overall: HIT<\/h3>\n<p>It wasn\u2019t as strong as last week\u2019s, where I had little to nitpick, but was still an above average episode.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"AEW Double or Nothing Post Show w\/ Brandon LeClair &amp; Frank Peteani\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/1GJyWdCe7o0?start=8&#038;feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<div class=\"pwtor-end-article-groups pwtor-entity-placement\" id=\"pwtor-2653769413\"><div id=\"pwtor-3997874224\"><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>Trish Adora vs. La Catalina: MISS These two just did not have chemistry.
