The Kingdom vs. The Briscoes & Bully Ray: Winners receive ROH Six Man Tag Team title shot tonight

The Briscoes controlled TK O'Ryan early on.  Matt Taven got involved but was struck by Jay Briscoe.   That allowed the Kingdom to double team Jay and score a two count.  I know this will shock everyone but it broke down into a six man brawl on the floor.  Marseglia hit a dive, followed by Taven.  O'Ryan teased one, since last time he was in Vegas, he broke his leg on one.  He flipped off the crowd instead.  Jay Briscoe nailed him off the apron down to his partners, then hit a dive to the outside.  Bully even hit a ....dive. 

Back in the ring, Bully worked over TK and tagged out to Mark.  Mark got cut off and triple-teamed.  They tagged in and out, working over Mark, who tried to rally and make a comeback.  He nailed a big running chop to escape Marseglia and tagged out to Bully.  Bully worked everyone over but Jay, not happy he wasn't tagged in, tagged himself in and started cleaning house.  He went for the Jay-Driller but was run backwards into his corner, knocking Bully off the apron.  I see where this is going.

The Kingdom continued working over Jay, who kicked up.    Mark returned to the scene.  He tricked Marseglia into nailing Taven.  Bully hit the ring and nailed an inverted sitdown atomic drop.  O'Ryan nailed a clothesline but was taken down by Mark.  Mark went for a Froggy Elbow but O'Ryan cut him off.   They battled on the top but Bully slipped under O'Ryan and set up for the Doomsday Device.  Mark pinned O'Ryan for the win. 

Your winners, The Briscoes & Bully Ray!

It was obvious Jay wasn't.  He got a chair and teased a turn but instead flung it at O'Ryan's head and walked out.

Bully & Briscoes vs. The Young Bucks & Hangman Page later tonight.

They announced that Kenny Omega will be working all four nights at the Global Wars dates.

They teased that Hangman Page won't be appearing, playing off the Being the Elite Youtube series.

Las Vegas Street Fight: Punishment Martinez vs. Jay White

Lots of brawling and weapons.  Martinez brought a chair into the ring but White flung it into his face as he came off the ropes.  White showed some nice intensity as he worked over Martinez.  He began nailing a series of German suplexes but had his ears clapped before he could do a third.  White ducked him shot and nailed a Flatliner.  He grabbed the chair and worked him over with a series of shots across the back.

Martinez made a comeback and drilled White with a Falcon Arrow.   White made a comeback and went to use a trash can lid but when he saw Martinez daring him to bring it on, instead used a series of strikes and chops.   White was sent to the floor and Martinez hit a crazy running dive over the corner to the floor on White.  That was pretty damn impressive.

Martinez went to the top but White nailed him with a chair.  White nailed a judo throw off the top for a two count.  He set up and nailed the Kiwi Crusher for another two count.  White set up a series of chairs and attempted to suplex Martinez through them.   The first time I saw someone do this in CZW in 2001, I'd never have guessed the spot would still be done 16 years later.  Martinez fought back and suplexed White onto the chairs, then hit an inverted DVDR through the chairs.  He covered White, who kicked up at the last second.

Thumbtacks were brought into the equation.  White was chokeslammed onto them and pinned. 

Your winner, Punishment Martinez!

An entertaining brawl.

They showed tacks embedded in White's back in after the match.
