ROH TV

-Commentators:  Kevin Kelly & Steve Corino.
-B.J. Whitmer & Jimmy Jacobs(w/ Roderick Strong) d. Adrenaline Rush(A.C.H. & Tadarius Thomas); Whitmer pinned A.C.H. after he and Jacobs hit the All-Seeing Eye(over-the-shoulder slam/running neckbreaker drop combo).
-Top Prospect Tournament Finals:  Todd Hanson d. Raymond Rowe after the spinning kick.  Michael Elgin watched the match from ringside.
-Tommaso Ciampa won a triple threat match with Jay Lethal and Matt Taven to retain the T.V. Title.  Before the match, Truth Martini brought out Scarlett Bordeaux and Seleziya Sparx but sent them to the back before declaring the "Hoopla" to be dead.  Taven sent Truth away after that, but he came back out to do commentary...then tripped Taven at a key moment, causing him to stumble into Project Ciampa for the finish.
-Next week:  Adam Cole & Matt Hardy vs. Michael Elgin & Chris Hero vs. Jay & Mark Briscoe.

SICW Wrestling Explosion

-Commentator:  Larry Matysik.
-Flash Flanagan d. Ron Powers with Ricky Cruz as the special guest referee.  Ricky seemed to call the match down the middle, but he appeared to be favoring Powers at times.  Late in the match, Flanagan swung at Powers and hit Cruz by mistake; as Cruz was dazed from the shot, he didn't see Powers covering after a powerslam.  Powers hit a diving headbutt off the middle rope and Cruz recovered enough to make a slow two-and-a-half count.  Cruz encouraged Powers to finish off Flanagan with the piledriver...but as Powers set up for the move, Cruz shockingly superkicked him and fast-counted Flanagan's pin!  Cruz and Flanagan both stomped on the fallen Powers after the match; Jake Dirden hit the ring to help but took a superkick from Cruz as well.  Powers finally brought a chair into the ring and that convinced Cruz and Flanagan to retreat...
-Larry did a sitdown interview with Cruz; Ricky said he did the right thing and that was to get Ron Powers out of the way.  He complained about not getting title shots and said Dirden wasn't a big shot just for spending a few months in Japan.
-Flashback to May 1981:  Kerry Von Erich & Rufus R. Jones fought Bobby Jaggers & J.J. Dillon to a time-limit draw.
