AT CENTRE STAGE<br \/>\nAIRED ON SINCLAIR AFFILIATES &amp; ROHWRESTLING.COM<br \/>\nREPORT BY HARLEY R. PAGEOT, PWTORCH CONTRIBUTOR<b><\/b><\/h3>\n<p><i>Commentary: Ian Riccaboni, Colt Cabana<\/i><\/p>\n<p>[Q1] We opened with a recap video of last week\u2019s main event in Nashville where SoCal Uncensored almost stole the six-man titles with a belt shot to Matt Jackson and Bully Ray debuted as the new ROH enforcer.\u00a0 He referred to ROH as being the wild, wild west lately.\u00a0 Clips were mixed in of Silas Young tripping LSG during a tag match against Beer City Bruiser &amp; Brian Milonas, The Briscoes attacking Best Friends during their tag match with Motor City Machine Guns a few weeks ago, Kaz arguing with referee Todd Sinclair, Marty Scurll throwing flour in the face of Shane Taylor during their match, The Briscoes giving Chris Sabin a Jay Driller on a steel chair, and Matt Taven kicking Cody between the legs.<\/p>\n<p>-In the arena in Atlanta Bully had a microphone.\u00a0 He vowed to return honor to ROH and emphatically used the words \u201cpro wrestling\u201d multiple times.\u00a0 He led the fans in an ROH chant.<\/p>\n<p>-Opening theme.<\/p>\n<p><b>(1) SOCAL UNCENSORED (Scorpio Sky &amp; \u201cThe Heavy Metal Rebel\u201d Frankie Kazarian) vs. THE YOUNG BUCKS (Matt Jackson &amp; Nick Jackson)<\/b><\/p>\n<p>No sign of Christopher Daniels, at least to start.\u00a0 SoCal declined the Code of Honor and attacked the Bucks instead.\u00a0 The brothers quickly cleared the ring.\u00a0 Cody walked out onto the stage in a suit and applauded the Bucks to loud \u201cCody\u201d chants from the crowd. [C]<\/p>\n<p>Cody was sitting in on commentary out of the break.\u00a0 Cabana and Cody insisted to Riccaboni that Bullet Club is fine.\u00a0 Nick with a lungblower to Kaz in the corner.\u00a0 Cody transitioned into badmouthing The Kingdom and his 16<sup>th<\/sup> Anniversary opponent Matt Taven.\u00a0 Sky with a jumping hurricanrana to Matt sitting on the top rope and he followed up with a big flip over the ropes onto Nick at ringside.\u00a0 Sky and Kaz tagged in and out quickly, double-teaming Matt.\u00a0 Cody mentioned The Young Bucks going heavyweight (as announced this past Saturday at <i>Honor Rising <\/i>and on the latest episode of <i>Being The Elite<\/i>).\u00a0 SoCal got distracted by Cody\u2019s presence and ate a flip from Matt off the stage.\u00a0 Cody cheered and gave him a thumbs up.\u00a0 SoCal hit stereo slingshot cutters and locked in stereo dragon sleepers.<\/p>\n<p>[Q2] The Bucks escaped and locked in sharpshooters.

<\/script>\r\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p>SoCal rolled up both Bucks for two-counts but ate superkicks.\u00a0 Another double-superkick to Sky.\u00a0 Kaz up for a Meltzer Driver but he wiggled to the ropes.\u00a0 Facebuster to Sky.\u00a0 Kaz taken out at ringside with a moonsault off the apron from Nick.\u00a0 Meltzer Driver to Sky.<\/p>\n<p>WINNERS: The Young Bucks in 14:21.<\/p>\n<p>-Daniels sneaked in during the post-match celebration and jumped the Bucks from behind.\u00a0 STO to Nick.\u00a0 Leg whip to Matt.\u00a0 Cody called for security.\u00a0 Hangman Page came running out with a steel chair to clear the heels.\u00a0 Once they were gone Cody jumped in the ring and acted outraged and ready for a fight as well.<\/p>\n<p><i>(Pageot\u2019s Perspective: The Bullet Club drama continues to evolve.\u00a0 It\u2019s not as simple as just Team Kenny vs. Team Cody anymore as Page appears to be with Cody but has ties to the Bucks, the Bucks have been friends with Omega for a long time but were insulted his proclamation this weekend that Golden Lovers are the best tag team on the planet, and Scurll is playing the child of divorced parents who just wants things back to the way they were.<\/i><\/p>\n<p><i>SoCal losing two weeks in a row might seem to hurt their credibility but they\u2019re the cheap heels who cheat and steal victories so I still suspect they get hold of the six-man titles at next week\u2019s anniversary show.)<\/i><\/p>\n<p>-A video package recapped recent events between Kenny King and Silas Young.<\/p>\n<p>-Last week after we went off the air King was making his way through the backstage area when he was confronted by Beer City Bruiser and Brian Milonas.\u00a0 They mocked his absence of the TV title.\u00a0 Young clubbed King in the back of the head from behind and beat him through the arena, tossing him into a steel garage door.\u00a0 Bruiser and Milonas held him while Young told him he\u2019d be happy to give him a rematch.\u00a0 Young followed with a kick to the face.\u00a0 [C]<\/p>\n<p>-A video package recapped recent events between The Briscoes and Motor City Machine Guns.\u00a0 The tag title match is official for the 16<sup>th<\/sup> Anniversary show.<\/p><div id=\"pwtor-2997445376\" 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>-The commentators spoke on camera about the Women Of Honor Championship tournament.\u00a0 Tenille Dashwood debuted at <i>Honor Reigns Supreme <\/i>and Mandy Leon and Brandi Rhodes have advanced so far.<\/p>\n<p>-Video package on Kelly Klein and \u201cBonesaw\u201d Jessie Brooks.\u00a0 Klein hasn\u2019t been pinned or submitted in 800 days.\u00a0 Brooks is a graduate of the ROH Dojo.\u00a0 She called herself the baddest woman on the planet.\u00a0 Klein spoke confidently about knowing who Brooks is and what it takes to put her down.\u00a0 These two have never faced each other before.<\/p>\n<p>[Q3]\u00a0 -Unlike the past two weeks we did not get to see this match in its entirety.\u00a0 Clips were shown of the match taped January 20 in Nashville and we were encouraged to go to ROHwrestling.com to view it in its entirety.\u00a0 Klein picked up the win with a knee to the jaw.\u00a0 She faces Leon in the quarter-finals.<\/p>\n<p>-Video package on Deonna Purrazzo and Holidead.\u00a0 Holidead is the ugly truth staring at you in the mirror.\u00a0 She wears bright neon purple and green face paint.\u00a0 Purrazzo started to tear up and got embarrassed while talking about wanting to be a women\u2019s champion and change women\u2019s wrestling ever since she was a kid.\u00a0 She grew up watching wrestling with her brother.\u00a0 She wants to show that women aren\u2019t just eye candy but can be main eventers and role models to little girls.<\/p>\n<p>-This match (taped February 9 in Concord) also got the ten-second clip show treatment.\u00a0 Watch the whole thing on the ROH website.\u00a0 Purrazzo won with a Fujiwara armbar.\u00a0 She faces the winner of HZK vs. Mayu Iwatani in the quarter-finals.\u00a0 [C]<\/p>\n<p><i>(Pageot\u2019s Perspective: This was incredibly disappointing.\u00a0 Following the last two weeks of TV I had put renewed faith in ROH and their treatment of Women Of Honor.\u00a0 It seemed like they were finally being integrated into the company and treated like serious competitors.\u00a0 Then they turn around and cram two tournament matches into one clip-show segment.\u00a0 Not just that but the two matches they choose to gloss over and not show in their entirety are the matches featuring Klein and Purrazzo, the two women who should be the favorites to win the entire thing!\u00a0 These are arguably the two best female wrestlers in ROH and we only get ten seconds of their matches but the matches featuring the green Leon and Rhodes air in their entirety?\u00a0 Purrazzo in her video package gave some of the most heartfelt, authentic comments I\u2019ve heard on a pro wrestling show in a long time.\u00a0 She should be being positioned as the top babyface in the entire division but her and Klein both came across here as also-rans, second fiddle to the more Divas-esque Leon and Rhodes.\u00a0 Apparently Purrazzo\u2019s quest for women to be treated as more than just eye candy is one that she\u2019ll still be working away at for years to come.)<\/i><\/p>\n<p>-Video package on the 16<sup>th<\/sup> Anniversary Pay-Per-View lineup.\u00a0 Cody vs. Taven, Machine Guns vs. Briscoes for the tag titles, Scurll vs. Martinez for a world title shot, Castle vs. Lethal for the world title.\u00a0 All the competitors spoke briefly about their matches.<\/p>\n<p><b>(2) KENNY KING vs. SILAS YOUNG (w\/Beer City Bruiser &amp; Brian Milonas) \u2013 ROH WORLD TELEVISION CHAMPIONSHIP<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Ring announcer Bobby Cruise did the full championship match introductions in-ring.\u00a0 [C]<\/p>\n<p>Code of Honor to start.\u00a0 Cabana called it a mistake from referee Todd Sinclair to allow the two big men to remain at ringside.\u00a0 King and Young were evenly matched out of the gate.<\/p>\n<p>[Q4] King with a drop toehold and side headlock.\u00a0 Bruiser tripped King while he was too busy showboating.\u00a0 Bully Ray immediately made his way down to ringside and sent Bruiser and Milonas to the back.\u00a0 He shook Sinclair\u2019s hand and left as well.\u00a0 King with an armbar.\u00a0 Young dumped King to the floor.\u00a0 Young with a slingshot stomp onto King back in the ring.\u00a0 [C]<\/p>\n<p>King caught a charging Young with a spin kick.\u00a0 Right hands sent Young tumbling through the ropes.\u00a0 King showboated again, which allowed Young to sweep his legs.\u00a0 King hit a flip off the stage onto Young then ran up into the crowd for a selfie with a fan.\u00a0 Cross-body from the top rope for a two count.\u00a0 Spinebuster for another two.\u00a0 Eye rake from Young behind Sinclair\u2019s back.\u00a0 King rolled out of a Misery attempt into a crucifix pin.\u00a0 Young with a draping neckbreaker for two.\u00a0 Young countered a Royal Flush attempt into a roll-up for two.\u00a0 Young considered taking an intentional count-out but King rolled him back in the ring.\u00a0 Young kicked the middle rope into a low blow as King re-entered.\u00a0 Young with the Pee Gee Waja Plunge for a believable near fall.\u00a0 Fists thrown in the middle of the ring.\u00a0 King with a cradle roll-up out of the corner for three.<\/p>\n<p>WINNER: Kenny King in 13:58 to capture the ROH World TV Championship.<\/p>\n<p>-King celebrated with the title amidst streamers to close the show.<\/p>\n<p><i>(Pageot\u2019s Perspective: Well, that was unexpected.\u00a0 Young just won the title at <\/i>Final Battle <i>so I fully expected him to retain here and move on to defend against people like Jonathan Gresham and Flip Gordon.\u00a0 Ray tossing Young\u2019s henchmen is the story of his defeat, I suppose, though I thought King\u2019s fixation on playing to the fans might lead to his downfall.\u00a0 Does this feud continue or does King feud with someone like Punishment Martinez or Shane Taylor instead?\u00a0 Maybe Young and Bruiser can finally fulfill last year\u2019s goal of going after the six-man titles now that they\u2019ve got Milonas with their crew.)<\/i><\/p>\n<p>-Next week:\u00a0 it\u2019s the 16<sup>th<\/sup> Anniversary go-home show with The Briscoes vs. Best Friends, Christopher Daniels vs. Hangman Page, and Punishment Martinez &amp; Marty Scurll vs. Jay Lethal &amp; Dalton Castle.<\/p>\n<p><i>(Pageot\u2019s Perspective: If you\u2019re a PWTorch VIP member don\u2019t forget that Lola Bradbury and I have a new ROH podcast called Talking Honor available every Monday afternoon.\u00a0 This week we kick things off with our in-depth Honor Club review.)<\/i><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong>NOW
