They started with chain wrestling and Daniels had Scurll in a hammerlock and the stream froze.
Upon refreshing, Scurll hit a superkick on the outside. Back in the ring, Daniels got two nice near falls.
Scurll would regain control. Scurll hits a package DDT for two.
Marty Scurll with hit and Undertaker Tombstone with the Undertaker pin combination for 2 and even Daniels kicked out Marty broke the fingers.
Daniel’s tried to hit Angels Wings but it didn’t work out.
Daniels went for the best moonsault ever but Marty got the knees up.
Ultimately, Marty made Christopher Daniels tap out to the chicken wing and the announcers played up the sadness of Daniels leaving Ring of Honor. Bully Ray camr out and low blowed Daniels. Bully called out Gordon. Stream seems under control.
Bully Ray vs. Flip Gordon ( I Quit Match)
Flip came on strong and the announcers were going crazy in support of Flip.
Bully beat flip with the trash can as the announcers played up that flips girlfriend was sitting in the front row. The camera had been on her all night and she’s looked bored the entire night.
Bully set up some tables and then on the opposite side of the Ring begin jaw jacking with Bobby Cruise and Cary Silkin.
Bully started to threaten Cary. Ring announcer Bobby Cruise literally got himself in front of Silkin and got thrown down.
Bully continues to threaten Cary and referee Todd Sinclair slapped Bully in the face. Bully continued going after Silkin, and Daniel’s threw himself onto Cary.
Bully then was hit by flip Gordon who was covered in blood. This then led to Bully grabbing flips girlfriend from the crowd and threatening to powerbomb her through a table.
Flip begged for mercy but Cary Silkin of all people hit Bully Ray with a Kendo stick. Flip would then low Bully and get it back in the ring.
Flip had Bully in a Crossface. Silas Young eventually ran in for the save. Everything went to hell at this point.
Bully threatened to light a table on fire, Cheeseburger tried to save Flip as did Colt Cabana but nothing mattered. The lights went out and the Sandman of all people appeared into the ring.
Sandman gave bully his Kendo Stick and Bully eventually gave up after being hit with two Kendo Sticks simultaneously.
Bully doesn’t actually quit he just said yes.
Winner: Flip Gordon.
This match was filled with so much Gaga. It was fun at first but I think the Sandman pushed it over the line for me.
Up next, it’s Jay Lethal vs Cody. Results continue on the next page.
ROH World Championship: Jay Lethal (c) vs. Cody
During the entrances. the announce team, which now includes Caprice Coleman replacing Colt Cabana, play it up the scenario of Cody Rhodes leaving the with the title.
Cody grabbed the microphone and praised the fans for giving him adulation. The fans then began to chant “we love Cody”
He then said if he loved the fans you would be doing the Madison Square Garden Show and that the fans can all kiss his ass.
Early in the match, Cody teased his knee acting up but it was all a ruse and Cody and Brandi showboated. Jay Lethal ultimately took over as the audience got into reaction with one person audibly chanting “Cody you suck, Cody you piece of s–t”
Cody, who is dressed up in camouflage, was showboating and flexing as he dropped Jay Lethal in a front facing suplex.
Jay Lethal eventually began working on the injured knee with a chop block and driving the knee on to the apron which is the hardest part of the ring. Lethal slammed the knee into the ring post and Cody cried in pain.
Lethal continued relentlessly working over the knee. Brandy tried to cause a distraction but Jay Lethal continue to work on the leg with a dropkick to the knee. Brandi Rhodes hits a spear on Lethal. Cody tries to follow up with CrossRhodes but only gets a two-count. As soon as he saw an opening, Lethal went back to the knee. Lethal teased Shattered Dreams and Brandi got involved again. Brandi got hit with lethal injection. Cody hit his finisher again and Lethal kicked out at two.
Cody put Lethal in Figure 4. Hangman Page rang the bell but Sinclair called it off. Lethal hit his own CrossRhodes.
The referee would get knocked down and Lethal would strike Cody with the title in his bad knee. Lethal would then hit lethal injection followed by a figure 4 for the submission Victory. After the match, Marty came out to make his intentions to be Champion clear and surprisingly NWA Champion Nick Aldis appeared to make his intentions for the Ring of Honor Championship clear.
Winner And Still Champion: Jay Lethal.
Up Next: Ladder War! Results continue on the next page
Ladder War For The ROH World Tag Team Championships: The Briscoes vs. The Young Bucks vs. SCU
This match quickly turned into Full Metal Mayhem. There were chairs, trash cans, staple guns, and tables. The action was all too insane to really recap in a move for move fashion. I think I can safely say it was the most violent match on pay-per-view of 2018. I haven’t seen so many chairs aimed at people’s heads (throwing, not chair shots)
Here are some notable spots: there was a slingshot cutter through a table by Frankie Kazarian to one of the Briscoes. Matt Jackson did pull out a Sledgehammer referencing H on Being The Elite but he ultimately tossed it aside so take from that whatever symbolism you may. Nick Jackson took a nasty bump at the end where he seemed to legitimately get injured on his arm. I hope everything is okay with him.
Ultimately, the Briscoes threw a chair Frankie Kazarian ‘s head who ended up crashing through a table off of a ladder and Dem Boys picked up the victory. Ian Riccaboni how did that they were now 10-time champions and the show closed without any real fan fair. But this match and the Zack Sabre Jr. match are the two matches that you need to go see.
I left a little disappointed in the sense that I thought we would see some type of major development with the elite but it was pretty much standard business and I guess they’re just moving on. This was a great show can watch on a Friday night even though I had a lot of storm issues that prevented me from watching every match in full. However, I can’t help but feel like there was a lot of hoopla in some areas, and not enough in others. Here’s hoping that Ring of Honor and whatever The Elite decide to do make huge waves in 2019. Thanks for watching along with me.
