Weekend wrestling

ROH TV

-Commentator:  Kevin Kelly.
-Kevin Steen & Steve Corino had a meeting of the minds...Steen said he didn't agree with everything Corino did, but he trusted him up to a point.  That point was when Corino brought Matt Hardy into the fold...and SCUM dished out the gang attack on Steen, ending with a Twist Of Fate by Hardy.
-Roderick Strong d. Mike Bennett(w/ Brutal Bob Evans) with the Falcon Arrow backbreaker.  Mike Mondo did commentary and was caught in the crossfire outside the ring, leading to Mondo beating down Evans and then attacking both Strong and Bennett after the bell.
-Tadarius Thomas vs. Jorge Santi ended in a no-contest when SCUM busted up the match.  Nigel McGuinness came out with Jay Lethal and Michael Elgin as backup, leading to a tag match being set up for Border Wars.  If Lethal & Elgin win against two members of SCUM, Corino leaves ROH for good.  If SCUM wins, Corino joins the broadcast team and a member of SCUM gets a Heavyweight Title shot.
-Matt Taven(w/ Truth Martini & Scarlett Bordeaux) d. A.C.H. to retain the T.V. Title; Mark Briscoe did commentary.  Scarett distracted the ref and Martini tripped up A.C.H., allowing Taven to capitalize with his headlock driver finisher for the win.

SICW Wrestling Explosion

-Commentator:  Larry Matysik.
-Chaz Wesson d. Max Archer with a modified Styles Clash.
-Gary Jackson & Heath Hatton d. Alexandre Rudolph & Jake Dirden; Dirden chokeslammed Hatton and Rudolph hit a frog splash, but Heath reversed Dirden's pin attempt into a crucifix on the mat for the fall.
-Flashbacks:  They showed clips of some classic Harley Race matches...one was from Japan(think the opponent was Antonio Inoki but I'm not sure), another was a bout with Rick Martel in Australia, and the third was a match with Randy Ahls on Championship Wrestling in Georgia(called by Gordon Solie).  Odd nowadays to see a pin after a vertical suplex, but that was one of Race's trademark moves back in the day.
