Tommy Dreamer & Bully Ray vs. The Briscoes - NYC STREETFIGHT

 

A post shared by PWInsider.com (@pwinsider) on

Ray and Dreamer came out in the balcony and drank some beers Sandman styles before hitting the ring.

The Briscoes jumped them as they hit the ringside area.  They all brawled on the floor.  Dreamer nailed Mark with a trash can.  Ray and Jay exchanged punches on the floor. Jay worked over Dreamer and whipped him into the ropes but Dreamer nailed a high cross bodyblock for a two count.  Lots of ECW chants.  Dreamer nailed a flip dive off the apron to the floor on Jay.  Mark went for one on Dreamer but missed.  Bully hit a running splash off the apron onto the Briscoes.  Frenzied start.

Dreamer grabbed another trash can and nailed Mark Briscoe.  He tossed Mark into the ring.  Ray nailed Jay with a trash can and tossed it into the air.  Jay whipped Bully into the ringpost.  Dreamer worked over Mark with punches but was tackled and clotheslined down by Jay.  Jay hit an insane dive on Bully.   Mark tossed chairs into the ring.  Jay did the same.  The Briscoes kicked and beat down Bully and Dreamer.  Mark nailed a big dropkick in the corner on Dreamer and bit his face.

They grabbed chairs and slammed them into each other.  The Briscoes lost that war and were nailed across the back.   The Briscoes retreated to the floor.   They grabbed Singapore Canes.  Dreamer and Bully went to the floor and pulled out lightsabers.  The crowd chanted "Holy sh**." and "Use the Force."  Dreamer and Bully ducked cane shots and nailed some clubbering elbows.  Ray slammed Jay and drilled a chair into his face.   Dreamer followed that up by nailing one with the kitchen sink.

Bully called for tables and the former ECW stars went for them.   They pulled one out but Mark dropkicked the table.  Mark grabbed Dreamer and dropped him atop the guard rail, crotching him.  He pulled a ladder out from under the ring.    Bully was busted open.  Mark placed a ladder atop of Dreamer and nailed a flip off the apron onto the ladder on the floor.   Jay Briscoe worked over Bully on the floor, increasing the flow of blood.  Bully was tossed into the ring, where he dazed and out of it, tried to grab a chair to defend himself.  Jay grabbed a cheese grater and ripped it across Bully's face.

Jay nailed a neckbreaker with a chair around the neck of Dreamer.  Mark bit Bully's bloody face.  He drilled him across the back with a chair.   Jay drilled Bully and charged him but was backdropped over the corner to the floor.  They battled back to the ring where Ray nailed a sick Bubbabomb.  They each brandished chairs and Jay snapped his so hard Bully's went flying out of his hands as he was wiped out.  Jay set up the table in the corner to use on Bully who kicked him off.  Bully nailed Mark as well.  Dreamer returned to the fray and they did the 3D into a neckbreaker.  Dreamer began tuning up Mark with cane shots and nailed a reverse suplex using the cane in between the legs.

Dreamer went for the Spicoli Driver off the apron and nailed it through a table to the floor.  Bully beat on Jay with a cane and placed him on a table, then hit a splash off the top through the table for a two count.   He set up another table and Dreamer pulled out lighter fluid.  Bully spread it on the table but Mark nailed Dreamer then attacked Bully. The Briscoes attacked Bully and attempted to put him through the table with a 3D.  The table didn't break.  Ouch.  They put Bully back on it and Mark came off the top with the froggy elbow, putting Ray through it and setting up Jay to make the pin.

Live in the building (but not on the PPV), Ray took his boots off and saluted the crowd, potentially teasing that he has officially retired.  He hugged Dreamer and they took a long time to leave the ring, even saluting the fans as ROH went to Ian Riccaboni on the stage during the broadcast.

Ian Riccaboni announced they would begin a tournament to crown the first ROH Women of Honor champion, featuring STARDOM talents, in Nashville at their TV taping on 1/20/18.

Your winners, The Briscoes!

ROH Six Man Tag Team champions The Young Bucks & Adam Page vs. Flip Gordon & Dragon Lee & Titan.

Lots of Bullet Club love in the crowd.   Lots of crazy lucha libre/Michinoku Pro style stuff with synchronized spots including a huge triple dive over the top to the floor onto Page and the Jacksons.  The challengers worked over Matt Jackson's arm.  Lots of near falls and two counts. The Bucks quarantined Gordon and caught him with a dropkick.  Page hit a dropkick into a moonsault.  Way too many highspots to cover.  Page moonsaulted to the floor off the top on the challengers.   Matt did an insane running flip off the ramp to everyone at the bottom of the ring steps.  Lots of craziness here.  The superkicks began to come out, which the crowd went nuts for.  Jackson hit a springboard into a DDT off the apron on Dragon Lee.  Flip Gordon's ability to land on his feet is ridiculous.  Matt Jackson accidentally superkicked his brother.  Lee grabbed Matt for a sitdown Michinoku Driver.

Jackson nailed a springboard into a Facebuster.  Gordon nailed a 450 splash but Jackson pulled his knees up.  Jackson nailed a Facebuster and hit an Asai Moonsault.  Page hit his shooting star shoulderblock as Jackson nailed a tombstone on the floor.  Gordon was trple teamed in the ring.  He went for a quebrada to save himself and was triple superkicked on the way down.  They Bucks hit a spike double tombstone and scored the pin.

Your winners and still ROH Six Man Tag Team champions, The Young Bucks & Adam Page!

The usual absolute instanity you'd expect.

The Addiction and Scorpio Sky attacked the champs after the match.  They then laid out Flip Gordon as well.

ROH champion Cody Rhodes vs. Dalton Castle.

 Cody was now sporting blonde hair and came out with the new ROH championship belt. 

The Boys were back with Dalton Castle.

Back and forth wrestling early on.  Rhodes tried to stall but Castle went to the floor and attacked him from behind with a right hand.  He tossed the champ in the ring but was caught returning to the ring and nailed with a neckbreaker.  Cody stalked Castle and drilled him with knees to the mid-section.  Castle tried to roll up Cody for a two count.  Rhodes snatched him in a choke but Castle made it to the ropes.  Castle was tossed to the floor.  Cody nailed him and tossed Castle into the stairs at the bottom of the stage.

He dragged Castle back.to the ringside area.  They battled near the ringside table, which Cody powerbombed Castle through.  Rhodes grabbed a chair and stalked Castle around the ring.    One of the  Boys took the chair.  Brandi went to the top and came off to the floor with a bodypress on the Boys.  The referee ejected all three and Brandi chased them to the back.  Rhodes worked over Castle in the ring and did pushups.   They battled back and forth with punches, slugging it out.

Castle nailed Rhodes with a clothesline, blocked a kick and slammed the champ.  Castle went for a back suplex but was backed into the corner hard.  Castle ducked a clothesline and caught Cody attempting the Disaster Kick, tossing him overhead with a suplex.     Rhodes grabbed Castle and went to crotch him by pulling him into the ringpost but Castle pulled his legs back.  Cody was pulled into the ringpost and came up bloody.

Castle beat Rhodes all over the ringside area.  He brought Castle back in and sent him hard into the buckles.  They went back to the floor and returned to the ring.  Castle went for the Bangarang but Cody escaped.    The referee was accidentally knocked out.  Castle locked on a submission and Cody tapped but there was no referee.  Dalton went for the Bangarang but it was turned into Cross Rhodes for a two count

Rhodes nailed the Disaster Kick.  Castle came back to nail the Bangarang and pinned Cody clean and won the title.

Your winner and new ROH champion, Dalton Castle!

Wow, didn't see that one coming!

They dumped a TON AND I MEAN A TON OF CONFETTI from the ceiling to mark the title change as Castle and the Boys celebrated in the ring.

After the PPV went off the air, Castle took the ring mic as the crowd chanted "You deserve it."  He responded, "You're damn right I do."  He told everyone to record with their phones.  He said that Cody gave him one hell of a fight like he promised and he has nothing but respect for the wrestler that Cody is.  He said he's hurting all over but he loves this and held up the ROH title belt.  He said that not just wrestling, he loves wrestling in front of ROH fans, the best fans in the world.  He said he was proud to call himself the ROH champion and said he wanted to thank everyone who stuck it out and supported you.  He said that something kept holding him down, but not anymore.  He said this belt made him a Megladon swimming through the ocean.  He thanked everyone and said he would "kick so much ass after this."
