Thoughts: It was a longer one with Hera getting most off the offense in. It was average and got a little boring but at least Hera tried to be a heel here. This was a random one.
Lio Rush does a poem with clips of him and Action and him playing his umbrella indoors.
Tony Nese and Mark Sterling talk. Mark says everyone is always taking from them - taking their liberties and opportunities. He says people are always taking them for granted. Mark says they are always giving and it's time for them to take what they deserve. Tony says his history with AR Fox goes way back and says they both have beaten each other. Tony tells him to put his title on the line if he's man enough as he will take what belongs to him.
Dalton Castle, Spanish Announce Project (Angelico & Serpentico) & The Outrunners (Truth Magnum & Turbo Floyd) vs. RPG VICE (Rocky Romero & Trent Beretta) & The Lethal Twist (Blake Christian, Jay Lethal & Lee Johnson)

Blake rolls up Serp for 2 then flying pumping knees him. Blake corkscrew dives through the ropes. Serp top rope plancha's outside onto multiple people. Blake flying pump kicks Serp then springboard 450's him and pins him.
Thoughts: The comedy wasn't needed but it was entertaining as expected. We didn't get a ton of everyone here but it was enough. We see these types of matches every Youtube Special and it was pretty similar to those.
The heels take some cheap shots on the faces after.

Solo corkscrew kicks him then exploders him for 2. KS sleepers him. KS PK's him and pins him.
Thoughts: It was all squash here and KS won as expected. The 3rd ropebreak call on Solo was questionable, but they've been getting more liberal with those lately.

Thoughts: It was mostly all squash here and it went on longer than it needed to. The winner was never in doubt and Zay got thrown around a bit en route to losing.
Mark Sterling does the intro for Tony Nese. He says some people call this place vacation land but it looks like witness protection with lobster rolls. He then tries to do the "Athletes Rule" chant but it doesn't work.
ROH World Television Title Match - AR Fox (c) vs. Tony Nese
They shake hands. Nese backs him up in the corner and pounds on him with punches. AR punches back. AR bottom rope stunners him. AR flying corner lariats him then hits bad elbows to the neck in the corner.

Nese is tripped into the ropes, AR slides down his back and dropkicks Sterling. AR rolls him into a twisting suplex. AR top rope 450's him and pins him.
Thoughts: It was fine. AR did his flying as usual. I liked the spot where he slid down Nese's back and dropkicked Sterling through the ropes. It was an okay juniors match but nothing particularly memorable.
Action Andretti comes out and nails AR from behind after. He pounds on him and holds up his title. Lio Rush's music hits. He comes in behind Action. Action gets scared when he spots him. Action ducks a flying lariat and goes out. Lio then stares down AR.
Overall thoughts: It was the usual ROH show with random matches and wrestlers. It only went an hour at least so it was a little more tolerable and they had some champs in action which was nice. The 10-man tag was the best thing on here but it was nothing you'd need to go see. I wouldn't say this did a lot to build up Global Wars Cincinnati. I'd give it a 5 out of 10 as it was average.
