Ring of Honor YouTube Special Episode #7 5/12/2026
The last Youtube episode is here: https://prowresblog.blogspot.com/2026/04/ring-of-honor-youtube-special-episode-6.html
Ian Riccaboni and Caprice Coleman are on commentary.
Alec Price and Jordan Oliver do a promo. They say they have been nothing but grateful since they showed up. JO says it's not enough. Alec says it's about being the best now - the ROH Tag champs. Alec says they respect Serpentico and Angelico tonight but this isn't about respect. Alec asks what they will do today. JO says they will plot world domination.
Thoughts: They are doing lines from Pinky and the Brain here. Alec should really be kept far away from a mic at this point.
The Spanish Announce Project (Angelico and Serpentico) vs Bustah and The Brain (Jordan Oliver and Alec Price)
JO and Ange lock up. Ange wristlocks him. JO reverses it. Ange works the arm and wristlocks him. JO takes a hiptoss then Serp is hiptossed onto him. Serp splashes JO. JO chops Serp. Serp wristlocks AP. AP tiger feints into an armdrag on him. AP running shoulderblocks him.
Serp takes a double back elbow then a double legdrop. AP is hiptossed into a neckbreaker on Serp. Serp dropkicks JO into AP, knocking AP off the top. Ange pump kicks both opponents outside. Serp top rope splashes AP for 2. Ange kicks AP in the back.
Serp top rope double stomps AP's arm. Serp armlocks him. AP hits shots on Serp's gut. AP escapes a double team and tags in JO. JO hiptosses Ange.
JO backrolls Serp then germans Ange as he does it. Ange facekicks AP then upkicks JO. Ange lifting flatliners AP. AP suicide dives Ange. Serp takes combo offense then a backdrop + top rope elbow drop and is pinned.
Thoughts: It was a shorter bout. What we got wa fine with JO and AP doing some fast paced offense and some flying. They are on a win streak and that got pushed here.
The Lethal Twist attack JO and AP after. Blake puts Bandido's mask on and hits a 21plex on JO. Blake says that's a message to the ROH champ, who isn't here. Blake says he's here though and is carrying the weight that Bandido can't carry. He says the walls are closing in on Band and he will collapse the walls and become champ.
Lance Archer vs Trip Jordy
Lance carries his opponent down to the ring and hits snake eyes on him on the apron. The bell rings. Trip tries chops then gets chopped down. Lance running back elbows him in the corner. Lance footpresses him down in the corner. Lance chokeslams Trip on the top buckle. Lance chokeslams Trip on the mat. Lance then rainmaker black hole slams him and wins.
Thoughts: It was the usual Lance squash that we have been seeing for years. He wins these squashes then when he eventually gets his title shot, he loses and the process repeats itself.
Diamanate does a promo. She says they have been trying to get after Deonna Purrazzo but she's on the game. Dia says this isn't a game anymore. She says they collect heads and go home. She says Athena will collect 4-5 heads at Supercard of Honor. She says the least she can do is come back with Deonna's head and Pure Rules Title. She says DP wants to be Pure Rules champ so she can brag about that "Lou Thesz bs". She says there's not a hold or an escape that can keep her from taking the title.
ROH Women's Pure Title Proving Ground Match - Deonna Purrazzo (c) vs Haven Harris
They lock up. DP rolls her. HH side headlock takeovers her. DP double knuckle locks her then takes her down by the wrist. DP armlocks her on the mat. HH hits corner spears on DP. DP rolls HH into an armbar and HH uses her first rope break.
HH headbutts her. HH kicks her around the top rope and spinebusters her for 2. HH misses a step up swanton and DP boots her in the head. DP powerbombs her then submits her with the armbar.
Thoughts: It only went 2:31 with DP winning as expected. She worked the wrist a little before winning. HH took a hard looking powerbomb at the end here.
Evil Uno vs Vaughn Vertigo
They lock up. Uno shoves him down. VV side headlocks him then Uno shoulders him over. Uno is tripped into the ropes. VV jumps up and is atomic dropped. Uno shoulders him over. Uno misses a corner splash then VV leg lariats him. VV standing moonsaults him for 2.
VV boots Uno in the corner and foot chokes him. Uno chops him. Uno's head is banged off the buckles. Uno back elbows him. Uno hits some shots then flying back elbows him. Uno facekicks him into a ddt for 2.
VV spinning forearms him then shining wizards him for 2. VV misses a top rope swanton. Uno punches him then hits ataxia. Uno pins him.
Thoughts: It was a shorter bout with Uno winning as expected. VV didn't get a ton in but he didn't look that bad. This was really just filler.
Handicap Match - Satnam Singh vs Dave Dutra and Nick Ruiz
Nick's jacked but not super tall. The jobbers are sent into each other. Sat chops Nick down then stands on him. Sat then chops Dave. Sat whips them both into the corner and double splashes them. Sat hits a double lariat.
Sat takes a double dropkick to his legs. The jobbers pound on him. Sat hits a double suplex. Sat hits a double crossbody but gets up on the pin attempt. Sat then hits a double chokeslam and pins them both together.
Thoughts: It was the usual Singh squash. He won as always and did his usual offense without much variation. He wins all of these matches but never gets a title shot from it.
Nick Wayne, Kip Sabian and The Lethal Twist (Jay Lethal, Blake Christian and Lee Johnson) vs AR Fox, Mascara Dorada, Mistico, EL Phantasmo and Michael Oku
Jay eye pokes AR off the lock up and bangs his head off the buckles. AR stunners him and flying corner lariats him. Jay knees him in the gut then AR twisting brainbusters Blake. MD top rope elbow drops Blake's arm.
Blake headflips over MD and both handspring and land at the same time. MD offers a handshake and Blake boots him. MD walks up the ropes, flips into the ropes and armdrags Lee down. Oku flying headscissors and dropkicks Lee.
Oku armdrags Nick. ELP top rope double axe handle's Nick's arm. ELP chops Nick in the corner. ELP walks up the ropes, rope walks and evades shots from the heels. ELP diving headscissors Nick down. Blake flying knees ELP from the side. Jay stomps ELP. Blake boots ELP.
ELP step up enzugiri's Nick. Mist springboard crossbodies Kip and Nick. Mist springboard double back elbows them. Mist is flipped into the ropes and he double armdrags Lee and Blake. Mist walks up the buckles and springboard corkscrew diving armdrags Nick. Mist top rope swantons Nick for 2.
Oku comes in and tornado ddt's Jay. Kip top rope dropkicks Oku. ELP enzugiri's Kip. Lee superkicks ELP. MD corkscrew kicks Lee. Blake running spanish flies MD. Mist spinning ddt's Blake. Nick shiranui's Mist. AR handstands out of Nick's cutter. AR and Nick trade forearms. Both get dropkicked out. Jay and Mist hit topes at almost the same time. ELP and Kip then hit stereo slingshot plancha's. Lee and MD then do stereo dives out.
AR springboard inverted flip dives out. Oku and Nick superkick each other. Oku flying knees Nick. Oku goes for a tope and Mother Wayne blocks him. Blake top rope double stomps Oku. Blake hits a 21plex on Oku. Nick wristclutch fisherman busters Oku and pins him.
Thoughts: It didn't do that long and was a bit rushed. This could have used double the time. I didn't like some of the stereo dive spots. A wrestler would see his opponent go for a dive and instead of stopping him, he'd also do a dive. That was dumb and I'd be mad if I were that person's opponent. Other than that it was all flying and fast paced action. It was entertaining but that's about it. At least Blake pushed his feud with Bandido a little here, but there's no real excuse for Bandido not being here.
Overall thoughts: It was your usual random ROH show. They are pushing that Alec/Oliver are on a win streak and they thankfully won their match. Lance and Singh won pointless squashes. Deonna won a quick squash and Uno did as well. The main was a bit rushed but it had quick action and lots of flying. That one should have gone longer. I'd give it a 5 out of 10 as it was average and there was nothing must see here.
