(c)<\/p>\n<p>Back \u201clive\u201d, Flip Gordon and Rey Horus are now in the ring, with Horus controlling the action.\u00a0 Flip delivers a ricochet kick to Horus, sending him outside the ring, where a collective effort by Villain Enterprises, allowed Gordon to seize control.\u00a0 Flip sent Horus back in the ring, where Villain Enterprises began taking turns punishing Rey.\u00a0 A few minutes later, Gordon inadvertently clotheslines Scurll, allowing Horus to reach his corner and tag Bandido.\u00a0 Bandido enters the ring and clears all three members of Villain Enterprises.\u00a0 Bandido goes to the top rope and hits a moonsault onto Gordon on the floor, while Flamita and Horus hit simultaneous somersault planchas to the rest of Villain Enterprises on the floor.\u00a0 Wow! (c)<\/p>\n<p>The match returns to total chaos, as all six men are in the ring.\u00a0 Each man somehow delivers a huge power move in succession, leading to everyone on the mat from the punishment.\u00a0 Commentator Ian Riccaboni punctuated this series of moves with \u201cDios Mio\u201d!<\/p>\n<p>The action resumes with the weary Scurll and Bandido the legal men, slugging it out in the middle of the ring.\u00a0 Bandido delivers an X-knee on Scurll, and follows it with a Moonsault top rope slam, but somehow, Scurll kicked out at 2.<\/p>\n<p>The finish occurs soon thereafter, as Scurll and Bandido are the only two men in the ring.\u00a0 Scurll teases his \u201cchicken wing\u201d submission, but Bandido rolled him up for the 1-2-3.\u00a0 We have new champions!<\/p>\n<p>WINNERS: MEXIBLOOD aka Bandido, Flamita &amp; Rey Horus at 13:37<\/p>\n<p><em>(Ryan\u2019s Reaction: There was so much action in this match that I could not properly describe it in print.\u00a0 This is my pick for the best match thus far in Ring of Honor, and possibly anywhere in the United States, in 2020.\u00a0 I cannot recommend strongly enough watching this match start to finish.)<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Rather abruptly, we are back at the house, with Brody still on his couch.\u00a0 King begins to discuss his match with Jeff Cobb at Death Before Dishonor.\u00a0 This was his first singles match in Ring of Honor and he wanted to show he was more than a tag team wrestler.<\/p><div id=\"pwtor-3493050711\" 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) BRODY KING vs. JEFF COBB<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This match took place on September 27, 2019 in Las Vegas, at ROH Death Before Dishonor.\u00a0 Neither man received his ring entrance or introduction.\u00a0 The match began with a test of strength, as both powerhouses wanted to establish themselves as the alpha in the contest.\u00a0 After a couple minutes, neither man was able to gain a clear advantage.\u00a0 This evolved into Cobb and King trading shoulder blocks mid-ring, again, with neither man able to gain the upper-hand.\u00a0 King charged at Cobb in the corner, but Cobb was able to reverse it, and delivered an overhead \u201cGerman\u201d suplex to King, into the turnbuckle pads. (c)<\/p>\n<p>Back \u201clive\u201d, King and Cobb are mid-ring exchanging forearms and punches \u2013 Wow!\u00a0 Both men were reeling from the punishment, but neither would fall down.\u00a0 King soon delivered a \u201cSidewalk slam\u201d on Cobb.\u00a0 King went to the top rope, but Cobb recovered to hit a standing dropkick on King.\u00a0 However, King was able to return the favor and hit a \u201cFrankensteiner\u201d on Cobb, sending him outside the ring.\u00a0 King followed with a missile dive at Cobb.\u00a0 King sent Cobb back in the ring, and then delivers a piledriver on Cobb, but Jeff is able to kick out at two.\u00a0 This was a LONG two count.<\/p>\n<p>The finish occurs soon after, when King teases a \u201cGonzo bomb\u201d piledriver, but Cobb blocks it.\u00a0 Cobb and King then trade \u201cGerman\u201d suplexes.\u00a0 King charges at Cobb off the ropes, but Cobb is able to catch King, and uses that momentum to hit his \u201cTour of the Island\u201d finisher.<\/p>\n<p>WINNER: Jeff Cobb at 9:54<\/p>\n<p><em>(Ryan\u2019s Reaction: This match was terrific, and in hindsight, it might have been wise for King to win this match.\u00a0 The biggest takeaway I have from this match, however, is that I am dumbfounded that it took nine months for the incredibly talented and versatile King to get his first singles\u2019 match in Ring of Honor.\u00a0 King is a piece to build a company around, and I hope the new booker uses King to his fullest potential.)<\/em><\/p>\n<p>-An <em>Honor Club<\/em> commercial was shown. (c)<\/p>\n<p>-Another, yet different, <em>Honor Club<\/em> commercial was aired.<\/p>\n<p><strong>(3) VILLAIN ENTERPRISES (PCO &amp; Brody King) vs LIFEBLOOD (Juice Robinson &amp; David Finlay w\/Tenille Dashwood)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This match originally took place in San Antonio, and served as the finals for Tag Wars 2019.\u00a0 Both Villain Enterprises and Lifeblood received their full ring entrances and introductions.\u00a0 Tenille Dashwood joined Ian Riccaboni and Colt Cabana on commentary.\u00a0 The Code of Honor was not adhered to, as Villain Enterprises declined the show of sportsmanship.<\/p>\n<p>King and Finlay begin the matchup, with Brody capitalizing on his size advantage to gain the offensive advantage.\u00a0 Finlay uses his speed and quickness to allude to larger King, and tags in to Robinson.\u00a0 King tags in Scurll and takes us into commercial. (c)<\/p>\n<p>Returning to action, Robinson and PCO are mid-ring, with Juice throwing relentless punches and shoulder tackles, to no avail.\u00a0 PCO no-sells these strikes, and goes on the offensive, delivering a steady stream of kicks to Juice.\u00a0 PCO punishes Juice for a few minutes, before an unforced error allows Juice to tag in Finlay.\u00a0 PCO also makes the tag to Brody King, and then Villain Enterprises proceeded to begin beating on Finlay.\u00a0 After several minutes of punishment, Finlay makes the hot tag to Juice, who proceeds to punish Villain Enterprises one on two.\u00a0 Juice charged toward King in the corner, but Brody reversed it, and used Juice\u2019s momentum to overhead throw him into the turnbuckles. (c)<\/p>\n<p>PCO goes to the top rope and attempts a frog splash, but Juice was able to get his knees up.\u00a0 Robinson and Finlay attempt a double running bulldog to PCO, but PCO blocks (no-sells) it, and double clotheslines both Finlay and Juice to the floor.\u00a0 PCO gets some assistance from Brody King and hits a \u201cback body drop\u201d onto Finlay and Juice outside the ring.<\/p>\n<p>The finish occurs a couple minutes later, when David Finlay went to the top rope, but Brody swiftly knocked him off the top rope.\u00a0 King used this moment to capitalize and hit his \u201cGonzo bomb\u201d finisher on Finlay for the win.<\/p>\n<p>WINNERS: Villain Enterprises at 13:27<\/p>\n<p><em>(Ryan\u2019s Reaction: This match was not particularly great, and with Finlay, Juice and Tenille all no longer with Ring of Honor, I was continually struck with the idea, \u201cWhy are they showing this match\u201d?\u00a0 This was a dud for me.)<\/em><\/p>\n<p>-Brody King was back on his couch.\u00a0 King said the last match he wanted to show was him and PCO facing The Briscoes.\u00a0 He said the matchup helped set the path for his time in Ring of Honor.\u00a0 A few highlights of the match were shown, including a quick mention that he and PCO were crowned tag-team champions that evening.<\/p>\n<p>-King then said he speaks for everyone in ROH when he says they are excited to get back to work.\u00a0 He says Villain Enterprises will once again rule the wrestling world.\u00a0 \u201cVillain Enterprises is number 1\u201d, as the show faded to black.<\/p>\n<p><strong>FINAL THOUGHTS:<\/strong>\u00a0 This was one of the better spotlight episodes ROH has produced in this \u201cpandemic\u201d era.\u00a0 However, I am left bewildered at the decision to show PCO and Brody verses Juice Robinson and David Finlay as the main event of the show.\u00a0 I suspect something happened to preclude them from showing the match against The Briscoes, but the main event left me with a bit of an unsatisfied feeling.\u00a0 Nevertheless, this was a nice look into Brody King the individual, and the first two matches were terrific, making it a solid hour of wrestling television.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong>CATCH UP&#8230;<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/2020\/06\/10\/5-29-roh-tv-report-rush-themed-episode-including-his-world-title-victory-against-matt-taven-his-title-defense-against-jeff-cobb-angle-with-pco\/\">5\/29 ROH TV REPORT: Rush-themed episode including his World Title victory against Matt Taven, his title defense against Jeff Cobb, angle with PCO<\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"pwtor-end-article-groups pwtor-entity-placement\" id=\"pwtor-763613549\"><div id=\"pwtor-1862262143\"><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 (ep.455) JUNE 2, 2020 AIRED ON SINCLAIR SYNDICATED TV &amp;
