Rating: ***3/4. Man oh man, two very young women, similarly to Fletcher/Johnson, who can hold down the business for the next ten years or more. The story here was that Billie was taking a beating and couldn’t be put down, so she resorted to some dastardly and devious tactics.

STREAMERS HIT THE RING! PAPA BRISCOE IS HERE AND HERE’S THE ENTIRE RING OF HONOR LOCKERROOM HEADED BY JAY LETHAL, AS WELL AS THE BRISCOE FAMILY!

Final Thoughts: A very entertaining, consistent, buffet of pro wrestling tonight. Fletcher and Johnson set the tone with an unbelievable opening match and ROH never took their foot off the gas. The Stardom six-person tag was a breath of fresh air, Aminata and Starkz showcased the future of the ROH women’s division while Athena and Shida showed us why that division is so strong right now. Fun surprises from the Bang Bang Gang and Suzuki, as well as a Wardlow appearance. Lastly, the main event was a classic, old school, brutal, Danielson/Morishima-esque fight that had all of the emotion considering the circumstances. 9.25/10.
