Weekend wrestling

ROH TV

-Commentators:  Kevin Kelly & Steve Corino.
-The Decade(Roderick Strong, B.J. Whitmer, & Jimmy Jacobs) d. Adrenaline Rush(A.C.H. & Tadarius Thomas) & Andrew Everett when Strong pinned Everett after the Falcon Arrow backbreaker.
-Robert D. Evans(w/ Veda Scott & Ramone) d. The Romantic Touch by countout when Touch chased Veda under the ring.  Evans bragged about his new winning streak and said he was the "last real man" in wrestling...which drew the ire of Silas Young.
-Cedric Alexander d. Adam Page with the Lumbar Check(belly-to-back suplex into a backbreaker).  Roderick Strong did commentary and again took offense to Alexander using a backbreaker variant...then had a few words with Page after the match.
-The Briscoe Brothers(Jay & Mark) d. Heavyweight Champion Adam Cole & Michael Bennett(w/ Maria Kanellis) when Jay pinned Cole after the Jay-Driller(double-underhook piledriver).
-Next week:  A.J. Styles vs. Michael Elgin, plus reDRagon(Kyle O'Reilly & Bobby Fish) vs. The Brutal Burgers(Brutal Bob Evans & Cheeseburger).

SICW Wrestling Explosion(now on Charter Channel 191 as well as YouTube)

-Commentator:  Larry Matysik.
-Flashback to February 1981(clips):  Harley Race d. Ted DiBiase in a best-of-three-falls match.  Race won the first fall with a Tombstone; DiBiase won the second fall with the figure-four leglock.  The referee was bumped in the third fall and Race backdropped DiBiase over the top rope; he attempted a re-entry suplex but DiBiase floated over and hit a bridging back suplex with a second referee making the three-count.  However, the original referee called it a DQ due to Race backdropping DiBiase over the top rope, so the NWA World Title did not change hands.
-Flashback to May 1981(clips):  Ted DiBiase & Spike Huber d. Harley Race & J.J. Dillon by DQ; DiBiase had Dillon in the figure-four and Race broke it up with a swandive headbutt off the top rope(top-rope moves were illegal at the time).  DiBiase and Race brawled after the bell, leaving Race bloody.  The match originally had Benny Romeo as Dillon's partner, but Romeo was injured and Race substituted mid-match to get his hands on DiBiase.
-Flashback to August 1981(clips):  David Von Erich d. Harley Race by DQ; Von Erich got Race in the iron claw and Race pulled the referee into himself and David to escape the hold.  Race suplexed David on the floor and went for a swandive headbutt off the top rope but David's brother Kerry made the save.
