(c)<\/p>\n<p>Back from commercial, Everett is in control of the action, until he becomes distracted by the fans: this allows Zayne to go on the offensive.\u00a0 Zayne hit an impressive somersault guillotine maneuver about four minutes into the contest.\u00a0 A few minutes later, Everett performed an amazing corkscrew springboard splash onto Zayne.<\/p>\n<p>The finish happens when Everett misses a shooting star press, allowing Zayne to deliver his infamous shooting star knees to Everett, followed by a pump-handle cobra driver for the win.<\/p><div id=\"pwtor-4214864399\" 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>WINNER: Alex Zayne at 8:08<\/p>\n<p>(<em>Ryan\u2019s Reaction: This match was terrific, and definitely worth watching.\u00a0 I worry about Zayne\u2019s finishing move, which looks dangerous, and I think his look is a bit too similar to Matt Taven\u2019s.\u00a0 That said both Zayne and Everett are extremely talented, and would be excellent additions to the Ring of Honor midcard scene.)<\/em><\/p>\n<p>-The Code of Honor was adhered to after the match, and Zayne celebrated as they go to commercial. (c)<\/p>\n<p>-The show returns with a video package showing a training session between P.J. Black and his prot\u00e9g\u00e9, Brian Johnson.\u00a0 Black asks Johnson if he has a finishing move.\u00a0 Next we see Black working with Johnson in the ring, and Johnson responding with hard work.\u00a0 At the end, Black says he is proud of Johnson, and gives him a white belt in approval of his diligence.\u00a0 Johnson runs off celebrating a bit \u201ctoo much\u201d, as this package ends.<\/p>\n<p>-They quickly go into another video package with Brian Zane, who tells us the critical information of the top-5 matches he would like to see in Ring of Honor in 2020, counting down from 5.<\/p>\n<p>5) The Bouncers vs. Bandido and Flamita<\/p>\n<p>4) Maria Manic vs. Session Moth Martina<\/p>\n<p>3) Dragon Lee vs. Dak Draper for the World Television Title<\/p><div id=\"pwtor-1530378005\" 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>2) Dan Maff vs. Bully Ray<\/p>\n<p>1) La Faccion Ingobernable vs. The Righteous (c)<\/p>\n<p><em>(Ryan\u2019s Reaction: Please, make sure Brian never gets the book for the company.\u00a0 This segment was dreadful.) <\/em><\/p>\n<p>-Back from commercial, we are in the locker room with Silas Young and Josh Woods.\u00a0 Silas asks Woods if he has seen his jeans.\u00a0 Woods has a mischievous look on his face, and finally admits he bought Silas a new pair of jeans as a gift.\u00a0 Oh, and he also threw out his old jeans.\u00a0 Woods is over-the-top excited to give him this present.\u00a0 The jeans are obnoxiously skinny, and Silas tries to put them on, but nearly falls over in this attempt.\u00a0 Josh decides to awkwardly get behind Silas, in hopes of helping him slide into these pants.\u00a0 Silas finally storms off, while Woods mutters \u201cI care a lot\u201d to end the segment.<\/p>\n<p>-Quickly, the show shifts to highlights of a match from 2002 between Jay Briscoe and Mark Briscoe.\u00a0 This was shown to highlight their match later this month at ROH Past vs. Present.\u00a0 After about 3 minutes of highlights, Mark Briscoe hits a modified Death Valley Driver to defeat his brother Jay. (c)<\/p>\n<p>-Abruptly, we shift straight to introductions for our main event.<\/p>\n<p><strong>(2) MEXABLOOD (BANDIDO &amp; FLAMITA) vs. THE BRISCOES<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Both teams received their full entrances, and after some hesitancy from the Mexabloods, the Code of Honor was performed by all four men.\u00a0 Mark and Flamita begin the match, and set a tremendous pace with some intense, back-and-forth action.\u00a0 Jay and Bandido simultaneously join the contest, and they continue the fast-paced action into a commercial pause. (c)<\/p>\n<p>Returning \u201clive\u201d Flamita quickly hits a crazy Asai Moonsault on both Briscoes, only to be followed by a springboard shooting star press by Bandido onto Jay and Mark.\u00a0 Wow!\u00a0 The battle moved to the outside, and the Briscoes took this opportunity to gain the advantage. (c)<\/p>\n<p>The action resumes with the Briscoes beating on Bandido.\u00a0 A minute later Bandido turns the tide by hitting an \u201cX Knee\u201d on Jay for a near fall.\u00a0 Flamita then delivered a 450 splash for another believable, near fall.\u00a0 The crowd started a well-earned \u201cThis is awesome\u201d chant about 12 minutes into the match.\u00a0 The Briscoes soon responded with a \u201cRedneck Boogie\u201d on Flamita for a long two count.<\/p>\n<p>The finish occurs when Mark Briscoe hits a brain buster suplex on the edge of the ring to Bandido, allowing the Briscoes to isolate Flamita.\u00a0 The Briscoes then hit their \u201cDoomsday Device\u201d finisher to Flamita for the win.<\/p>\n<p>WINNERS: The Briscoes at 16:17<\/p>\n<p><em>(Ryan\u2019s Reaction:\u00a0 Wow!\u00a0 I had big expectations for this match, and it over-delivered.\u00a0 In particular, the other three men went out of their way to make Flamita look like a star.\u00a0 Flamita delivered multiple high-impact moves, and the Briscoes sold for him.\u00a0 This contest should rank highly in the category of \u201cBest Tag-Team matches in 2020\u201d at the end of the year.\u00a0 4+ Stars!)<\/em><\/p>\n<p>-Streamers shower the ring as the show fades to black.<\/p>\n<p><strong>FINAL THOUGHTS:<\/strong> This was the best show Ring of Honor has produced in 2020.\u00a0 Both matches were outstanding, and the video packages involving the wrestlers were all entertaining and helped further future storylines.\u00a0 The Brian Zane segment was nearly four minutes long, and complete filler \u2013 if this was deleted from the show, it would be an A+ from me.\u00a0 Nonetheless, this was a terrific hour of wrestling.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong>CATCH UP&#8230;\u00a0<\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/2020\/03\/01\/2-21-roh-tv-report-bravo-this-is-everything-ring-of-honor-and-roh-tv-should-be-shelley-vs-haskins-flip-gordon-vs-slex-castle-hendry-vs-the-righteous\/\">2\/21 ROH TV REPORT: \u201cBravo!
