ROH TV Recap (3/7): Top Prospect Tournament Finals, Dalton Castle, Moose, Christopher Daniels, More
Welcome to this week's coverage of Ring of Honor TV from Wrestling Inc! This week's show features the finals of the 2016 Top Prospect Tournament!
Top Prospect Tournament Finals
Brian Fury vs. Lio Rush
Fury powers Rush around, and uses his size advantage to back Rush into the corner and land big strikes. Rush combats that with his speed edge and counters a bunch of attacks and sends Fury outside with an enziguri before welcoming him to the outside with a dive.
We come back to see Fury cutting Rush down, only to have the favor returned when he eats a spin kick and a Pele. Fury is able to slow Rush down with a big clothesline. Rush comes back with a big huracanrana, but only gets a two count. Fury hits a modified Gory Special for a two count before Rush kicks out.
Rush headbutts Fury off the top rope and connects with a beautiful Dragon's Call frog splash that gets a two count. Fury tries to use the ropes to pin Rush, but the ref catches him. Fury gets his finish, the pop-up powerbomb, but Rush kicks out and hits Rush Hour for the win!
Winner: Lio Rush via pinfall (Rush Hour) to win the 2016 Top Prospect tournament
- There's a tag team gauntlet set for next week's ROH on TV.
Moose vs. Kongo
No Stokely Hathaway at ringside. Moose tosses a streamer off of Kongo's head. Both men trade strikes, and Moose slaughters Kongo with a dropkick. Outside the ring, Kongo drives Moose into the apron. Back inside the ring, Kongo gets a two count off of a splash. Moose no sells an exploder suplex, then flattens Kongo before hitting a somersault senton. Kongo comes back with a Pounce for two. Moose runs up the ropes for a body press and hits a Spear for the win.
Winner: Moose via pinfall (Spear)
- We see Mike Posey and the Get Along Gang from earlier in the day trashing Cheeseburger. Cheeseburger promptly palm strikes like six of them.
Cedric Alexander (w/ Veda Scott) vs. Adam Page doesn't get started as BJ Whitmer attacks Page. Cedric joins in until Jonathan Gresham tries to make the save. Gresham and Page finally fight off the Cedric and Whitmer.
Chrisopher Daniels (w/ Kazarian) vs. Dalton Castle (w/ The Boys)
Silas Young is on commentary, and says Christopher Daniels asked him to be there. Castle is dropped by a shoulder block, but outwrestles Daniels and places him on the top rope where he connects with a knee. Outside the ring, Daniels runs Castle into the barricade.
Daniels works Castle over methodically until Castle rebounds with a knee and an overhead suplex. Castle catches Daniels and tosses him overhead with a release Northern Lights suplex, but gets dragged back outside the ring. Daniels tries to use a foreign object, but one of the Boys stops him. Kaz grabs Castles foot, and Daniels hits Angel's Wings for the win.
Winner: Christopher Daniels via pinfall (Angel's Wings)
Young harasses Castle after the match and says he can't beat anybody anymore. Castle says that he's right and he lost, and he's too focused on Young. Castle challenges Young to a Fight Without Honor.
