DEATH BEFORE DISHONOR TOVARISHCHI : CHUCK TAYLOR & ALEX KOSLOVdefeated
ROPPONGI VICE : BERETTA
2 & ROCKY ROMERO
* The Russians cut the ring in half perfectly and made this a very one sided match. Beretta managed to survive two double team Contract Killers, but when his 'Best Friend' hit him with an Awful Waffle it was over! Koslov & Taylor celebrated, but their victory was bitter sweet... as Roppongi Vice is a team no longer in ROH. Taylor shook hands with Beretta, as Koslov did the same with Rocky and then handshakes became hugs between all four. HUGE POP!
JAY WHITE 1defeated
KAZARIAN
3* The match started slow, as both competitors were trying to size the other up. White picked up the pace and tried a Running European Uppercut but The Heavy Metal Rebel saw it coming and stopped Jay in his tracks with a Back To The Future. Kaz then went for a Body Scissors but White escaped and went for another Running European Uppercut. This time it landed!!.... White quickly applied his Muta Lock on the down Kazarian, but the Rebel was able to reach the ropes and force a break. The action went back and forth until White planted Frankie with an Arm-Trap Spike DDT, Kaz kicked out at two!! Switchblade kept the pressure on and got the win after TWO straight Kiwi Krushers!
THE LETHAL LEGION : KEITH LEE 1 & SHANE TAYLOR 1defeated
THE CHOSEN BROS : MATT RIDDLE
1 & JEFF COBB
6* An early Double Chokeslam took Riddle out of the match, and Cobb was left basically in a handicap match. The Athlete held his own for a bit but was eventually overwhelmed by the sheer mass of his TWO opponents. Cobb took a real beating before finally being put away after a SpiritBomb by Lee.

CLAUDIO CASTAGNOLI
3* Claudio was blindsided by LANCE HOYT as he made his way down the ramp! The American Psycho beat the Swiss Superman senseless before tossing him into the ring, to the waiting Chris Hero.

Hero took pleasure in inflicting as much punishment as he could, before mercifully pinning The Swiss Cyborg after a Death Blow!

This brought out THE LETHAL LEGION, LEE & TAYLOR, and the brawl was on......In all the chaos Sullivan tried to hit Lethal with his Golden Spike but Jay blocked it, and then took the Spike and hit The Prince Of Darkness with his own weapon.

ROH WORLD TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP TITLE MATCH
JAY & MARK BRISCOE (C)defeated
MATT
2 & NICK JACKSON
3* 'DEM BOYS showed up shaved, for the most part, and looking like the Briscoes of old. They were focused and deadly serious, and....... The Young Bucks never stood a chance, as they got their brakes beaten off by two mean sonsofbitches from Sandy Fork, Delaware. There was no Superkick party, no playing to the crowd or funny antics. All there was, was a brutal beating culminated by a Spike Jay Driller on Nick!
ROH WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP TRIPLE THREAT TITLE MATCH
ADAM COLE 4defeated
HOMICIDE
6 & JERRY LYNN
5 (C)* Incredible match, with way to much action to call here. The match started with Cole and Homicide double teaming the champ before finally turning on one another. Everyone hit ALL their big moves and there was many pin saves, anyone of them could have walked out with the title if not for timely saves. The end came when Lynn hit a Cradle Piledriver on Homicide, but before the referee could finish the count Adam Cole kicked Lynn in the head and threw him out of the ring. The Panama Playboy then hit a Panama Sunrise on Homicide for the 1...2.....3!!!
