Thoughts: It was fine. Price looked good just as he did last time. He moves well and happily takes reckless bumps. I don't know if AEW needs Oliver and Price but they are a breath of fresh air and are doing well with what they are given. TNA should be looking into Price though.

John hits a bad pump kick to the back of the head and racks Bill. Bill facekicks his opponents and BK pins John.

Thoughts: I was disappointed by this. It should have been a decent bout but they couldn't really get a flow going and they just didn't click that well. John hits his foot on a tope here.

Satnam Singh vs Charles Mason

I'm shocked Singh is even employed. They shake hands and SS squeezes his hand. CM gets on his back. SS gorilla press throws him. SS chops CM in the corner. SS throws him. CM chops him, SS runs the ropes and crossbodies him. SS pulls up from the pin attempt. SS hits a big chokeslam and pins him with a foot on the chest.

Thoughts: It was a short squash and went as you would think. It wasn't anything too special and Mason certainly took his bumps here.

We see an Ace Austin interview from World's End. Ace says he's been thinking a lot about his position here. He says he came directly for the best and saw Bandido is on a hot streak. He says he wants to throw his name in the hat for an ROH Title match. Rocky Romero comes in. He complains about Ace coming in recently and calling people out.

Thoughts: It wasn't as good as it should have been. Ace seems to have injured himself during this. They really should have worked better together than they did. I think it got more time than it needed as well. 

ROH Women's World Television Title Proving Ground Match - Red Velvet vs. Janai Kai

JK kicks away a handshake to start. Red snapmres her and is put in a hammerlock. JK takes her down by the arm twice. JK stomps her then Red hits shots to the gut in the corner. Red foot chokes her in the corner. Red comes off the top and is superkicked in the gut. JK foot chokes her.

Red japanese armdrags her then meteora's her from behind on the ropes. JK running facekicks her then single leg dropkicks her against the ropes from behind. JK kicks her in the face then kicks her in the back. Red hits a big slap and pins her.

Thoughts: It was a different type of match here. Kai has very unorthodox strike based offense and probably got more in here than Red did. It wasn't that great but it had some moments of interest.

Overall thoughts: It was a mixed bag. The first two matches were decent. Big Bill's and Ace Austin's matches were not as good as they should have been. The main had the unorthodox Janai Kai fighting Red Velvet and that was a different type of match. There was virtually no storyline developments here and none of the champs were around as usual. I wouldn't recommend this one and would only give it a 5 out of 10 as I thought it was so-so.
