Friday SLA Results From Alton, IL
-Ring announcer: "High Voltage" Kat Carter. Referees: Dallas Edwards & ?.
-Ashton Reacher won a six-way match with "The Guatemalan Dragon" Carlos Oliva, "More Than A Conquerer" Alvin Falcone, Ethan Everheart, "The Midwest Succubus" Gwen Neodonna, and "Godspeed" Noah Clover when he pinned Noah after a Superman Punch (5:37).
-Rizzky Bizzness("The Rizz God" Calvin Kelly & Cash Kennedy) d. The Gateway Underground("The Anomaly" I.P. Mason & "Rock Star Made" Cordell Cain); Kelly pinned Mason after he and Kennedy hit a released German suplex/running boot combo (6:30).
-Greg Jovi attempted to address the fans before Mad Dog Connelly's match, but "The Main Girl" Nixi X.S. hit the ring and chased him off.
-Austin "Mad Dog" Connelly d. "Death Wish" Anakin Murphy via pinfall after swinging him around in the hangman neckbreaker submission and dropping him to the mat (7:45). "The Monarch" Jeremy Wyatt saved Anakin from more damage after the match.
-"The Whole Thang" Rahim De La Suede d. "Second To None" Kenny Alfonso with the Paydirt (7:24).
-The New Guys(Jake Bosche & Scott Stanley) & "HeartbreakCORE" Shazza McKenzie d. "Rough" Adrian Surge, "The Power Rough Girl" Ashlyn Alexander, & "Cutthroat" Kenny Kalix(substituting for Tommy Davis). The referee was knocked down and Santa Claus made his entrance to take over the match, though his impartiality came into question when he flipped off Surge rather than count his pinfall attempt. This led to Shazza rolling up Surge for the pinfall (10:18).
-"The Luminary" Jaques Kennedy d. "The Worst Person You Know" Chase Holliday via blind cross-bodyblock off the second rope (8:30). Holliday beat down The Luminary afterwards.
-Victor Analog(w/ "Cutthroat" Kenny Kalix) d. "The Monarch" Jeremy Wyatt when Wyatt attempted to suplex Analog into the ring, only for Kalix to trip Wyatt and hold his foot as Analog fell on top for the surprise win (11:23). Wyatt got a hold of Kalix after the match and nearly gave him the Coronation(piledriver), only for Anakin Murphy to stop him. The two exchanged words as Anakin tried to explain that Kalix was being forced to do what he did.
-Grown Man Business(Mike Outlaw & "The Grand Regent" Camaro Jackson) d. K.C. Karrington & Luke Langley(w/ Greg Jovi); this one got crazy right away with plenty of chairs and tables brought into play. Jovi seemed to talk Karrington down from using his potato peeler in the match, but Karrington turned around into Camaro's lariat for the finish (12:02). Jovi turned his rage toward Camaro, saying he had gotten through to his unstable friend and Camaro had ruined it.
-"The Wild Unicorn" Laynie Luck d. Trik Davis with the STF (9:13).
-"The Baddest Man Alive" Aaron Williams d. "The Limbripper" Tommy Davis(substituting for the injured Derek Neal) via buzzsaw kick to retain the Destination Title (8:43).
-"Tombstone" Thomas Shire d. "Boy No More" Nick King to retain the Gateway Heritage Title. Adrian Surge ran in to drop King with the swinging fisherman buster while Ashlyn Alexander distracted the referee; Shire didn't see the interference but went for the cover only for King to kick out. King continued to fight, but Shire was too much for him and put him away with a double-underhook powerbomb (8:27).
-"The Stiff Robo Ginger" Gary Jay won a three-way dance with "Warhorse" Jake Parnell and "The Guard Dog" Mat Fitchett to win the Tammy Jovi Memorial Cup (scheduled to be a four-way dance with "Spitfire" Davey Vega, who was unable to compete due to personal reasons). Fitchett attempted to take Warhorse down in a triangle hold, only for Gary to crucifix Fitchett on the mat for the three-count to eliminate him (9:44). That left Gary and Warhorse to renew their long-standing rivalry, but new factors came into play as Mad Dog Connelly & Victor Analog attacked Gary in the no-disqualification environment. Fortunately for Gary, Anakin Murphy and Jeremy Wyatt cleared out the interfering parties to even the numbers...Wyatt fastballed a chair into Warhorse's face on the way out, giving Gary the opening to finish off Warhorse with the rolling elbow (17:04).

AEW/ROH Mini-Commentary
Spoiler-free notes from last night:
The dark match(presumably) was St. Louis' own Sidney Akeem vs. Serpentico. Serpentico has a funny entrance video which is his own silhouette doing the Angélico dance, since he uses the same music. (Side note: More Angélico plzkthx.) Serpentico scored the surprise win with a swanton bomb.
Collision ring announcer Arkady Aura nearly turned herself heel by mentioning that she's a Cubs Fan, in St. Louis. Whoops. She's cute so it didn't last. Tony Schiavone knew the score, asking if there were any Cardinals fans in attendance (though these days the reaction to that is "eeeeehhhhh..."). He then asked about football, drawing some boos, then commented "The Rams can kiss my ass." Oh well, we still have the Battlehawks.
Very divided crowd on Hayter vs. Willow. Okada was over but Mortos got a lot of "BEAST" chants.
We had some local representation with Shazza McKenzie and Tootie Lynn Ramsey both working Collision; Shazza was in a battle of Australia with Toni Storm while Tootie faced a literal tall order against Kris Statlander.
Lio Rush & Action Andretti were rocking their EVIL theme music to go with their EVIL spiky entrance coats...for when you have a wrestling match at 8:00 but have to send someone to the Shadow Realm at 7.
Fun ten-man tag with several crowd favorites for Collision.
Lot of Briscoe fans in St. Louis, though Kyle Fletcher had some fans as well. Don Callis is not well liked, well, anywhere. The Hayter-Willow match and both Continental Classic bouts delivered big-time.
Post-Collision ROH taping was admittedly a dial-back from the AEW fare, but then some people had to work Friday morning. (I had a doctor's appointment so HA!) Local indie regulars Blair Onyx and Missa Kate had a tag match with resident frenemies Athena & Billie Starkz. Another fine women's bout took place between Queen Aminata and Lady Frost. Despite literally everything in recent years, Dark Order still has its fans and I heard some "Johnny Hungee" chants.
Coach Tony K came out a few times to hype us up. Sadly I JUST missed meeting him in person after the show before he had to go backstage...le sigh. Perhaps next time.

-ROH Women's Champion "The Fallen Goddess" Athena Palmer & "Space Jesus" Billie Starkz d. "The Arachnid" Blair Onyx & "Chicago's Sweetheart" Missa Kate. Athena treated Billie with little respect, using her more as a weapon to hit her opponents than as a tag partner. Athena got the win via tapout with a triangle hold on Onyx (3:18). Post-match Billie snapped, destroying Athena's customized title belt and brawling with her mentor; the two even leveled the referees and security guards who attempted to break it up. Athena stood tall at the end of the chaos.

Page got out of the penalty box just in time to break up Frazer's cover on Wes with an Oklahoma roll for a quick fall. Oba Femi was the surprise fifth entry at the fifteen-minute mark(replacing the injured "Alpha Wolf" Eddy Thorpe). Evans jumped off the top rope into a European uppercut by Femi, giving Femi his first pinfall. Evans pinned Lee after a springboard Cutter, tying the score at one fall each. Page got a rollup pin on Femi to take the lead with two falls. Frazer superkicked Page into a grounded crucifix by Evans for a fall, forcing Page to share the penalty box with Femi for a short time. Femi double-chokeslammed Frazer and Lee and pinned both, putting himself in the lead with three falls. Evans hit a flying Cutter off the top on Femi but the time expired before he could cover, leaving Femi as the winner. (Femi 3, Evans 2, Page 2, Lee 1, Frazer 1)

"The Dark Angel" Stephanie Vaquer entered last at the fifteen-minute mark. ZARIA pinned Giulia after the F-5 for her first fall.
