By Mike Johnson on 2021-03-26 20:43:00

EC3 vs. Jay Briscoe

EC3 had control early shoulderblocking Briscoes down and holding him to the mat, getting the former ROH Champion angrier each time.  Briscoe manhandled him into the corner but was forced to break clean.   EC3 continued to hold down Briscoe from gaining any momentum, snapping him back to the mat every time he almost escaped.  Just when it seemed Briscoe was about to break free and go crazy on EC3, he was cut off with a big powerbomb.

Briscoe fought back but was caught with a TKO by EC3.  Briscoe finally scored and sent EC3 to the floor.    Briscoe dove off the apron with a strike but tweaked his knee.  He limped around, trying to check his knee but was grabbed and propelled into the ring post.    EC3 beat him over and over across the back and nailed a superplex.  

EC3 attacked Briscoe's knee and drove elbow after elbow into the inside of the meniscus.    He continued to work over Briscoe, nailing an Olympic Slam.  He followed up with a brainbuster.     EC3 was finally caught with a series of neckbreakers.   Briscoe followed up with a pair of DVDRs.    Briscoe kept beating him down.  EC3 kept smiling and calling Jay's name.  Briscoe kept hitting big moves but Briscoe kept kicking out.  Briscoe nailed a lariat to score a two count.

Briscoe nailed a series of punches and EC3 finally went down.  Briscoe scored a close two count but EC3 kicked up at the last second.  EC3, apparently out on his feet, offered his hand.  Briscoe took it and pulled him into the Jay Driller, scoring the pin.

Your winner, Jay Briscoe!

Flamita vs. Rey Horus vs. Bandido

Flamita was sent to the floor.  Bandido and Horus had some fast-paced, back and forth action.  Flamita nailed a dropkick on each at the same time.  Horus nailed a rana off the apron to the floor on Bandido.  Flamita hit an awesome springboard flip dive to the floor.  Lots of fast paced action, too much to type.  Fla,ita and Bandido began slapping away at each other with chops.

They went for springboard back handsprings and Flamita killed him with a superkick.  Flamita nailed a spinning powerbomb but Horus broke it up.     They all faced off and battled.  Flamita was sent to the floor.  Bandido was sent towards him and nailed a rana off the apron to the floor.  Horus and Bandido battled back and forth.  Horus rotated out of a powerbomb and nailed a Facebuster for a two count.  Flamita came off the top and hit Horus with a frog splash.  They all went for kicks at each other and wiped each other out in stereo.

They continued to do all sorts of insane highspots, to the point I felt really sad for them that there were no fans here, because they were whipping out some cool, next generation stuff.  They finally ended with a nutty spot where Bandido rebounded off the ropes and caught Horus with a German suplex for the pin.

Your winner, Bandido!

Non-Sanctioned: Matt Taven vs. Vincent

The tape of this was "delivered earlier today."  They are on location in Fall River, MA at the PAL where they first met.

Matt Taven said he wasbs't going to be responsible for what happens here.  He went into the building.  Taven was waiting in the balcony.  Taven told him to come down to the ring.  Vincent antagonized him and ran into the a hallway.  Taven ran upstairs to try and meet him.   He began walking through different rooms and a hallway screaming for Vincent to take his beating like a man.

Vincent attacked him in a training room where there was another ring and sent him into a ladder.  They brawled around the ring.  Taven sent him into the corner and rained down with right hands.  Vincent gained control and screamed at Taven, asking him if he remembers this place.  He beat on Taven outside the ring on the floor.  He dragged Taven into the hallway and flying over a dresser, crashing to the floor.    Taven smashed him with a chair and dragged him by the hair.  He tossed Vincent down a flight of stairs.  Taven jumped off with an elbow.

They continued beating each other.  Vincent sent Taven into fencing.  Taven was beaten and dragged into the main room/arena where a ring was set up.  Vincent worked him over but was sent into a group of closed chairs piled up in the corner of the room.  Taven tossed him into the ring and began whipping Vincent with a belt.  Vincent cut off Taven and nailed an Acid Drop.  

Vicent kept beating Taven into the exposed wood of the canvas.  Vincent beat on Taven, who told him he hadn't killed him.  Taven was sent into one of the pillars of the building.  Vincent dragged him up to the balcony of the building, smacking him into the chairs.  They teased tossing each other off the balcony but were then shoved off and crashed through tables below by former WWE developmental talent Bill Carr.  He looked at Taven, then carried off Vincent.

Carr was not identified so he may end up having a new identity.

Backstage, Jay Lethal asked referee Todd Sinclair to not let the match end early.  He said he would use his discretion.

Quinn McKay interviewed Maria Kanellis-Bennett.  She announced they would hold a tournament to name a new Women's World Champion this summer. She invited women from all to compete.  The Allure, Angelina Love and Mandy Leon, came out.    Love said that they have been building the division and questioned whether Maria thought she was going to just run the show.  They asked what position got her this position.  Maria said that cattiness and bitchiness may have gotten The Allure something before but now they have to earn their responsibilities.  Angelina said she was a seven time Champion and asked what she was supposed to do to earn. Maria told her to have a match and if she wins, she can have a bye in the tournament.  She said she can have a match against Quinn McKay on ROH TV.  Quinn and Angelina faced off.
