Bandido was looking forward to some healthy competition which might bring himself and Flamita closer as partners, but Flamita was angry and looking for a fight. The pace of the match was high from the start, and Flamita&#8217;s aggression eventually drove Bandido to get equally aggressive. Flamita worked on Bandido&#8217;s arm, and Bandido worked on Flamita&#8217;s leg, so both wrestlers had to adjust somewhat as the fight went on. Bandido began to gain better advantages throughout the fight, but some shenanigans near the end all but assured that we&#8217;ll see a rematch between these two (which is something I&#8217;d like to see).<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Match 2<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\n<strong>Ken Dixon &amp; Beer City Bruiser vs Matt Taven &amp; Mike Bennett<\/strong><br \/>\n(referee: Todd Sinclair)<\/p>\n<!-- Content Reveal v2.3.1 -->\n<div class=\"scrhead\" onmouseover=\"document.body.style.cursor='pointer'\" onmouseout=\"document.body.style.cursor='default'\" onclick=\"acr_swap_display('ran_69e73826346bb','0','','')\">\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\">document.writeln('<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cnjradio.com\/blog\/wp-content\/plugins\/simple-content-reveal\/images\/image1.gif\" class=\"scrimg\" id=\"scrimg_ran_69e73826346bb\" alt=\"Reveal content\" title=\"Reveal content\"\/>');<\/script> Show\/Hide Results\n<\/div>\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\">document.writeln('<div style=\"display: none\" class=\"scrdiv\" id=\"scrdiv_ran_69e73826346bb\">');<\/script>\n<\/p>\n<p><strong>Result: Mike Bennett pins Ken Dixon after combination running single-leg dropkick<\/strong> (Taven)<strong> and backpack stunner<\/strong> (Bennett)<br \/>\n<strong>Time: 8:08<\/strong> (with 1 commercial break)<\/p>\n<p><script type=\"text\/javascript\">document.writeln('<\/div>');<\/script>\n<!-- End of Content Reveal -->\n\n<p><strong>Match Thoughts<\/strong><br \/>\nVery good match. The OGK (Taven &amp; Bennett) worked great together as a team, and they flowed through the match very well. Bruiser and Dixon had a lot of strong moments, but, being brand new team, they didn&#8217;t work well as a unit. Dixon also made a few very poor decisions that really cost his team. Overall, the action was fast and fun, and I enjoyed the match a lot. Also, Matt Taven nearly had his head crushed by Bruiser in one of the closest moments I&#8217;ve ever seen where a big guy sits down into a pin attempt while the smaller guy is below him on the mat. So that was fun too.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><em>Ring Area<\/em><\/span><br \/>\nAfter the match, Matt Taven smashes a Beer City Brew over the Beer City Bruiser&#8217;s head. Brian Milonas (who had been doing commentary) has some harsh words for Taven before heading to the ring to check on Bruiser. Milonas says Bruiser was right all along (presumably about Taven being a jerk and about Bruiser&#8217;s idea of winning by any means necessary). Milonas then attacks Dixon, sending Dixon out of the ring. It looks like Bruiser and Milonas are back together and on the same page.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Match 3<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\n<strong>ROH World TV Title Match<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Tony Deppen vs &#8220;Hot Sauce&#8221; Tracy Williams<\/strong> (ROH Tag &amp; TV Champ) w\/ Jonathan Gresham, Jay Lethal, Rhett Titus<br \/>\n(referee: Todd Sinclair)<\/p>\n<!-- Content Reveal v2.3.1 -->\n<div class=\"scrhead\" onmouseover=\"document.body.style.cursor='pointer'\" onmouseout=\"document.body.style.cursor='default'\" onclick=\"acr_swap_display('ran_69e73826346f7','0','','')\">\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\">document.writeln('<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cnjradio.com\/blog\/wp-content\/plugins\/simple-content-reveal\/images\/image1.gif\" class=\"scrimg\" id=\"scrimg_ran_69e73826346f7\" alt=\"Reveal content\" title=\"Reveal content\"\/>');<\/script> Show\/Hide Results\n<\/div>\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\">document.writeln('<div style=\"display: none\" class=\"scrdiv\" id=\"scrdiv_ran_69e73826346f7\">');<\/script>\n<\/p>\n<p><strong>Result: Tony Deppen wins via pinfall with a hammer-lock roll-up and becomes the 25th champion in his first reign<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Time: 10:58<\/strong> (with 1 commercial break)<\/p>\n<p><script type=\"text\/javascript\">document.writeln('<\/div>');<\/script>\n<!-- End of Content Reveal -->\n\n<p><strong>Match Thoughts<\/strong><br \/>\nVery good match. Williams was confident and seemed to have at least a slight upper-hand throughout most of the match, but Deppen was scrappy and took great advantage of the openings he could find. The commentators mentioned that this might feel like a Pure Rules match, and at times it did, but Deppen also helped to make the match feel more aggressive than most Pure matches. I enjoyed the balance between technique and fighting. I kind of wish the match had been a little longer, but hopefully we&#8217;ll see a rematch at some point that will take this fight even further.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Show Impressions<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\nThis was a really good show. I was looking forward to the first and last matches, and they delivered what I hoped for. I wasn&#8217;t looking forward to the tag match as much, but it surprised me. The action was good, and they did manage to draw me in to the story of revenge for Taven and of a partnership renewed with Milonas and Bruiser. It was well done all around.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Match of the Night<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\n<strong>Tony Deppen vs Tracy Williams<\/strong><br \/>\nThis was a lot of fun, and it was another step in the brewing rivalry between The Foundation and VLNCE UNLTD.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tony Deppen challenges Tracy Williams for the ROH World TV Title, Bandido and Flamita battle in something of a grudge match, and The OGK takes on Beer City Bruiser and Ken Dixon in a match about revenge, friendship, and rankings. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":9766,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[635,1241,297],"tags":[1746,2531,642,639,1832,2532,969,6923,7073,6813,3020,1219,175,788,7074,1747,588,6858,7075,6731,756,939,82,799,646,6766,6765,6736,7050,7051],"class_list":["post-10684","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-roh","category-roh-tv","category-show-results","tag-baltimore-md","tag-bandido","tag-beer-city-bruiser","tag-bobby-cruise","tag-brian-milonas","tag-brody-king","tag-caprice-coleman","tag-chris-dickinson","tag-flamita","tag-foundation","tag-homicide","tag-ian-riccaboni","tag-jay-lethal","tag-jonathan-gresham","tag-ken-dixon","tag-maryland","tag-matt-taven","tag-mike-bennett","tag-ogk","tag-quinn-mckay","tag-rhett-titus","tag-ring-of-honor","tag-roh","tag-roh-world-tv-title-match","tag-todd-sinclair","tag-tony-deppen","tag-tracy-williams","tag-umbc-event-center","tag-violence-unlimited","tag-vlnce-unltd"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/cnjradio.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10684","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/cnjradio.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/cnjradio.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cnjradio.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cnjradio.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=10684"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/cnjradio.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10684\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":10690,"href":"https:\/\/cnjradio.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10684\/revisions\/10690"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cnjradio.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/9766"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/cnjradio.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=10684"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cnjradio.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=10684"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cnjradio.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=10684"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
