Ring of Honor

Location: UMBC Events Center, Baltimore, Maryland
Commentators: Ian Riccaboni, Caprice Coleman
Host: Quinn McKay

We’re still on the road to the Anniversary Show, plus Supercard of Honor in April. That should make things interesting but you never can tell with this show, as it’s kind of all over the place. Things need to pick up for some big shows and Ring of Honor knows how to do it, but we haven’t seen what Marty Scurll is going to do in a situation like this. Let’s get to it.

Opening sequence.

We open with clips of Mexiblood becoming the new Six Man Tag Team Champions.

Quinn welcomes us to the show and runs down the card.

Andrew Everett vs. Alex Zayne

Everett, who stands 5’9, thinks he is a giant and even wears a singlet to honor Andre the Giant. They fight over arm control to start with Zayne flipping around a lot to start and grabbing a hurricanrana. Back from a break with Everett hitting a springboard missile dropkick, followed by a springboard dive to the floor.

Everett nails a Lionsault for two back inside and the strap comes down. That takes too long though, allowing Zayne to block a chokeslam. A running flip Fameasser gives Zayne two but he misses a shooting star double stomp. Instead Everett sends him into the middle buckle, setting up a very spinning springboard splash for two. Everett is right back with a reverse hurricanrana for two but misses the shooting star press. Now the shooting star double stomp connects, setting up a pumphandle piledriver for the pin at 10:44.

Result: Alex Zayne b. Andrew Everett – Pumphandle piledriver (10:44)

PJ Black is training Brian Johnson, who doesn’t even have a finishing move. Black gives him a neckbreaker into a faceplant, saying that can be his finisher. Further training/torture ensues and eventually Johnson gets the hang of it, earning himself a white belt. Johnson is rather pleased, which seems to surprise Black.

Brian Zane gives us the Top 5 Matches He Wants To See, capped off by La Faccion Ingobernable vs. Ring of Horror.

Silas Young can’t find his jeans and Josh Woods smiles because they’re in the trash. He gives Woods matching jeans because they’re a team. Young can’t even get them on.

We see some clips of Mark Briscoe vs. Jay Briscoe from 2002.

Briscoes vs. Mexiblood

Bandido/Flamita for the team. Mark and Flamita start things off and since neither can get anywhere, they try stereo dropkicks and give us a standoff. It’s off to Bandido vs. Jay for an exchange of shoulders, which doesn’t go well for Bandido. A hurricanrana drops Jay but Bandido is right back up with a superkick to send us to a break. Back with Bandido getting chopped into the corner as everything breaks down.

Some hurricanranas send the Briscoes to the floor, meaning a heck of a springboard moonsault takes them both down again. Bandido isn’t about to be outdone and hits a springboard shooting star (Caprice: “He just high fived Jesus!”) to wipe out everyone. Back in and an enziguri rocks Mark, followed by a wheelbarrow suplex into a moonsault onto both Briscoes. We settle down to Bandido and Mark but Jay comes in for a running corner clothesline.

A big boot/dragon suplex combination sends Flamita to the apron and everything breaks down again. Mexiblood is sent into the barricade and Mark puts a chair in the ring for a launchpad into a springboard flip dive. Jay gets his own chair for his own dive and we take a break. Back with Bandido backdropping Flamita onto Mark, leaving Jay to take the X Knee (GTS but with a flip instead of a straight drop onto the knee).

The 450 hits Jay for two with Mark making a save, followed by an Iconoclasm to Bandido. Jay suplexes Flamita to set up Redneck Boogie for two in another near fall. Somehow Flamita is back up with a double missile dropkick (with a frog splash pump in the middle) but his moonsault hits raised knees.

Jay clotheslines him out tot he floor and Mark adds a dropkick through the ropes. The Blockbuster off the apron sets up the neckbreaker into the Froggy Bow but Bandido drives Jay into the cover for the save. Stereo Spanish Flys get stereo near falls on the Briscoes but Mark breaks up the 21 Plex. A suplex onto the apron drops Bandido and the Doomsday Device FINALLY finishes Bandido at 18:21.

Result: Briscoes b. Mexiblood – Doomsday Device to Bandido (18:21)
