As we have come to know, they have been disruptive as of late in ROH and this is a smart move by ROH and ROH security. As I like to say, this is a short and sweet segment and to the point right here.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Scorpio Sky vs. Kushida:<\/strong> Kushida may have lost the ROH TV title but he does hold the IWGP Jr. Heavyweight championship. As the match got started, Cabana gives us some insight into who Scorpio Sky is. I assume most ROH viewers know who he is since he has been around for a while but it\u2019s still a plus when commentary can sell a relative TV unknown to the home viewer. For what this match was, I thought Sky put on a good showing in this short TV match. Sky got some good offense in before Daniels and Kazarian come in and ruin the match. Ian Riccaboni points out that Daniels and Kazarian are doing exactly what they said they would do and that\u2019s create chaos. The match is thrown out due to interference from these two. Jay Lethal does come out and chases Daniels and Kazarian out of the ring. When we come back from commercial, Jay Lethal is on the microphone. Lethal states that he doesn\u2019t know what Daniels and Kazarian\u2019s problem is but apparently, they have a problem with ROH. Lethal states that since they have a problem with ROH, then they have a problem with him. Lethal then challenges Daniels and Kazarian to a match against he and Kushida. Riccaboni and Cabana then wrap up the segment and say that they have received word that the match will happen later in the episode although this is cleared up during the Cody vs. Cheeseburger match when Riccaboni says that the match will take place in two weeks. Good opening to the show and it leads me to believe there may be more between Lethal, Kazarian, and Daniels heading into the remainder of this year.<\/p>\n<div class=\"ad-tag\" data-ad-name=\"pw_incontent_2\" data-ad-size=\"300x250\" ><\/div>\n<p><script src=\"\/\/tags-cdn.deployads.com\/a\/pwtorch.com.js\" async ><\/script><br \/>\n<script>(deployads = window.deployads || []).push({});<\/script><\/p>\n<p><strong>Recap of Kenny King Segment from Last Week:<\/strong> They show a quick recap of last week\u2019s segment where Kenny King says he\u2019ll give anyone a chance at his ROH TV title. Recall that Mark Briscoe, Punishment Martinez, Shane Taylor, and Chuckie T were out when he threw out the challenge last week. Riccaboni tells us then that next week Briscoe, Martinez, Taylor, and Chuckie T will have a four-way match for a shot at the ROH TV title.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Cody and the Bullet Club w\/Shane Taylor:<\/strong> Shane Taylor is out with the Bullet Club and Cody. It appears that Taylor is a means of protection paid for by Cody. Based on what we can tell, Taylor is not a part of Bullet Club but he appears to be a hired gun as pointed out by Riccaboni on commentary. A few weeks back, I talked about the Cody \u201cKiss My Ring\u201d segment and Cody\u2019s literal \u201cRing of Honor.\u201d I talked about how I didn\u2019t like it. While I stand by those boring segments, this one felt different. I really liked this. Cody officially signs his ROH contract. This had the right mix of factual presentation followed by the Bullet Club and Cody\u2019s arrogance.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Cody vs. Cheeseburger:<\/strong> After signing his ROH contract, Cody teases us as if we\u2019re about to get him in a match vs. someone the caliber of say Dalton Castle. However, with Cody in his suit still, Cody brings out Cheeseburger for his first defense since signing his contract. During Cody\u2019s contract signings, the Bullet Club does leave the ring at the conclusion of the signing but Shane Taylor does remain at ringside during this match. Ian Riccaboni and Colt Cabana do reference that Taylor is still there and given what we\u2019ve seen from Kazarian and Daniels he\u2019s probably watching Cody\u2019s back. As far as the match, I thought Cody did a great job of retaining the title while at the same time making Cheeseburger look great in defeat. Cody locks in the American Death Lock and retains.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Coleman\u2019s Pulpit:<\/strong> One word describes this week\u2019s Coleman\u2019s Pulpit, hilarious. Apparently, Rhett Titus and Will Ferrara are now known as \u201cThe Dawgs.\u201d Additionally, I just came to realize that Will Ferrara has much more charisma than I could\u2019ve imagined. I say this in the most complimentary way, this segment was so stupid that I thoroughly enjoyed it. And out of this segment we learned that next week we will get The Dawgs vs. The Tempura Boyz. Maybe sometimes I am easily amused but I watched this segment three times and enjoyed it over and over again.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Kingdom vs. Search and Destroy:<\/strong> Prior to the match, The Kingdom cuts a short promo that is effective. They question why the 6-man titles weren\u2019t just given back to them once TK O\u2019Ryan\u2019s injury was healed. I thought that was a great question as a heel team. During the match, I thought there was good teamwork throughout by both teams. In the end, The Kingdom did what they do best and that was cheat to win when TK O\u2019Ryan distracts referee Todd Sinclair while Matt Taven hits Sabin across the back with his Kingdom Staff that he comes to the ring with. The Kingdom wins which to me positions them to eventually win back the ROH 6-man tag titles. Very solid match and good ending to this week\u2019s episode.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>MISSES<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><strong>Briscoe\/Bully Ray Recap and Bully Ray Speaks:<\/strong> I hope I am wrong when this feud or storyline is over (if it is a feud or storyline). As for right now, I am not invested in it. I respect Bull Ray\u2019s contributions to this great business but I\u2019m not sold on Bully\u2019s injury nor am I sold on a potential match with Jay Briscoe simply because I think Bully Ray at this point in his career is not a challenge at all to Jay Briscoe. After Bully Ray cuts his promo about how he is not sure where his career will go from here given his concussion diagnosis and that this appears to possibly be the end for him, Mark Briscoe comes out and tells Bully Ray that the issue is between Bully Ray and Jay Briscoe and not Mark. Mark lets Bully Ray know that he loves him and he has Bully Ray\u2019s back. The execution of this was fine. I\u2019m just not sold on it if it is indeed a storyline going forward. If this is truly Bully Ray leaving ROH, then I\u2019m good with this. Time will tell.<\/p><div id=\"pwtor-923434376\" 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><strong>Final Thoughts<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Solid hour of ROH week this week. I really enjoyed Coleman\u2019s Pulpit with Will Ferrara and Rhett Titus. I\u2019m not saying Ferrara has never shown charisma it\u2019s just that I\u2019ve never seen that side of him that I can recall in ROH. The absurdity of Coleman\u2019s Pulpit was great. Cody\u2019s match and signing of his ROH contract was also good and the main event with The Kingdom vs. Search and Destroy was a good main event to close out the episode.<\/p>\n<p><em>Mike Mills is the <a href=\"http:\/\/pwtorch.com\/\">PWTorch.com<\/a> ROH TV Hits and Misses Specialist, providing his point of view on ROH TV weekly.
