Bully Ray & The Briscoes vs Los Ingobernables De Japon

Jay and BUSHI start us off with a back and forth until BUSHI takes a shot at Bubba out on the apron, then slaps his ass at him.  Bubba responds by coming in, tearing his shirt open, and chopping the hell out of him.  Afterward, Bubba takes a shot at Naito, who tags himself in for a tense back and forth with Bubba, who uses his speed (!) to outmaneuver Naito.  They tie up and Naito...gives Bubba a noogie.  Bubba picks Naito up for a suplex, but Naito holds the headlock and now noogies him in the eye.  EW!  Bubba shoves Naito off and flattens him with a shoulderblock, but Naito rolls away from an elbowdrop  and they trade wristlocks.  Mark tags in and unloads with redneck kung fu. then chokes Naito with his boot in the corner.  Naito is caught in the wrong part of town as Jay tags in and puts the boots to him as well, but he winds up on the wrong end of a hiptoss/senton combo from Naito and EVIL.  Jay is in peril, getting his eye gouged by Naito while EVIL works Bubba over on the floor.  Naito and BUSHI with a series of dropkicks and then BUSHI chokes Jay with his shirt before connecting with a baseball dropkick for 2.  EVIL is in with a neckbreaker and puts his foot on Jay's chest for 1.  Jay finally makes a hot tag and Mark comes in, cleaning house on all three members of the Inglorious Basterds.  Mark with a fisherman's buster to EVIL for 2, but EVIL superkicks Mark in the breadbasket.  Bubba tags in and cleans house on BUSHI, nearly backdropping him into the next whatever the UK equivalent of a zip code is.  Naito distracts Bubba and Jay to disrupt WHAZZUP, then he and EVIL double suplex Bubba, setting BUSHI up to hit a WHAZZUP of his own.  BUSHI with a top rope splash for a close 2, Jay comes in and goes after BUSHI and ducks a misting that winds up going in EVIL's eyes, then a triple 3D on BUSHI ends this one.

Winners: Bully Ray & The Briscoes

Fun match!  Mark looks to be in the best shape he's been in for years, by the way.

Silas Young vs Mark Haskins

Chain wrestling sequence to start, but Silas quickly turns it into a brawl.  Haskins holds up his end pretty well, and rolls through a sunset flip and punts Young in the face.  Haskins slingshots through the ropes and corner dropkicks Silas, who goes out to the floor to catch a breather and winds up on the receiving end of a baseball slide.  Haskins with a running Yakuza kick driving Silas into the barricade, and he tries for another, but Young elevates him and hits a powerbomb onto the ring apron.  Back into the ring where Silas hits a slingshot double stomp and then chokes Haskins with his boot before hitting a snap suplex for 2.  Young keeps Haskins grounded, trapping him in a chinlock, but Haskins finally has enough and absolutely unloads on Young with forearms and a leg lariat.  Haskins ducks a springboard crossbody attempt by Young and quickly rolls into the high wristlock.  Young barely manages to make it to the ropes.  Haskins rolls Young through into a Sharpshooter right in the middle of the ring, but Young makes it to the ropes and then rolls to the floor.  He comes back in and catches Haskins with a DDT for 2, then hits a series of running boots in the corner, followed by a backbreaker/lariat combo for 2.  Young picks Haskins up fora Finlay Roll, but Jay Lethal walks out to ringside to distract him.  Haskins gets an O'Connor Roll, Young gets out, and Haskins quickly gets a jackknife cradle on Young for the win.

Winner: Mark Haskins

Great match with a good finish.  Silas and Lethal wind up brawling at the top of the ramp and fight through the curtain to the back.

TV Title Match: Kushida vs Marty Scurll vs Hiromu Takahashi vs Dalton Castle

KUSHIDA and Scurll quickly go out to the floor while Takahashi and Castle go at it in the ring, with Takahashi staring him down with a cute little stuffed kitty.  Castle's totally into it, and they prance together and pet each other, at least until Takahashi suckerpunches him.  Scurll comes in and they surround Takahashi until KUSHIDA comes in with a springboard dropkick to Takahashi.  Scurll and Castle turn their attention to KUSHIDA, who clears Castle out before going at it with Scurll.  Everyone takes turns coming in and hitting spots on each other until we get back to Castle and Takahashi meowing and purring at each other.  Castle finally has enough and clears Takahashi out, but Takahashi drags him under the bottom rope.  Castle with a swinging headscissors on the floor, but then he eats a superkick from Scurll, then KUSHIDA superkicks Scurll to the floor, Takahashi knocks KUSHIDA to the floor, and then he hits a running knee off the apron on Scurll.  He tries the same on KUSHIDA, but KUSHIDA catches him in a cross armbreaker on the floor, and he taps out, but obviously that doesn't count.  Scurll and Takahashi work togheter to try and powerbomb Castle off the apron onto the barricade, but the Boys save him and carry him away.  Scurll connects with a running kneestrike to Takahashi's face for 2, Castle comes in and hits Scurll with a release German, KUSHIDA comes in and clears everyone out.  All heck breaks loose with one man after another hitting spots, and it boils down to KUSHIDA and Scurll, who turns KUSHIDA inside out with a lariat and then counters the handspring elbow to the crossface chicken wing.  KUSHIDA counters to a Kimura, then Takahashi and Castle come in and hit stereo German suplexes.  Castle hits the Bangarang on Takahashi, but Adam Page runs down and pulls the ref out of the ring.  Scurll comes in and hits Castle with his umbrella, KUSHIDA nails Scurll, and hits God's Last Gift on Castle for the win.

Winner: KUSHIDA

Eh, I'm not big on matches that are just one guy after another coming in and hitting spots, but it was good as those matches go.

ROH World Tag Team Title Match: The Young Bucks vs The Addiction

The Bucks jumps the Addiction before the bell and take an immediate advantage with a series of fast paced double teams.  Addiction turns that around and hits their own slew of double team work on the Bucks, then tag in and out and stomp a mudhole in Nick in the corner.  Nick gets free, connects with a springboard dropkick to knock Daniels off the apron, and slips past Kazarian to tag Matt in.  Matt starts to unload on Daniels, but Kazarian pulls the top rope down when Matt hits the ropes and sends him sailing to the floor.  Kazarian works Matt over, dumps him back in the ring, and hits a rolling neckbreaker for 2.  Boot choke to Matt, but Matt gets the knees up on an Arabian press attempt from Daniels and makes the hot tag to Nick, who clears out both members of the Addiction with a series of kicks, high knees, and bulldogs.  Matt with a Sharpshooter on Daniels and has him trapped right in the middle of the ring, but Daniels SOMEHOW makes it to the ropes.  Kazarian comes in and hits Nick with an Unprettier, Matt superkicks Kazarian, he counters Angel's Wings ot a Frankensteiner, superkicks Daniels, and gets Daniels back in the Sharpshooter while Nick gets Kazarian in one.  The Addiction powers out and runs the Bucks into each other, then all four men trade shots.  Addiction breaks up More Bang For Your Buck and hit their own version, which Nick breaks up with a senton.  Pop up double powerbomb to Nick, Celebrity Rehab to Matt, and Matt kicks out at 2.  Addiction goes for Best Meltzer Ever, but Nick breaks that up, and the Bucks hit Kazarian with the Meltzer Driver for the win.

Winner: The Young Bucks

This was awesome, Bucks are so on another level it's nuts.
