Nick Wayne is on a roll!
The ROH World Television Champion is leading B-Block and continued his winning streak against Ryusuke Taguchi. Coming, Taguchi and Wayne were tied with three wins a piece, with this match determining the block leader. Wayne started off fast with simple moves such as the shoulder tackle and leg drop, but a butt bump from Taguchi turned the tide of the match.
Nearly five minutes in and Taguchi put Wayne in the ankle lock. Wayne was able to counter out of it and hit a superkick, but Tagucgi managed to reapply the ankle lock after he reversed a Wayne’s world attempt. Wayne grabbed the ropes and stunned him with a sliced bread. That got a good nearfall. Wayne was able to finish him off with a Wayne World that got him the three count.
Hiromu Takahashi was able to bounce back and save himself from elimination with an excellent match against Clark Connors. Connors blind sided Takahashi to start the match and beat him around the ring during the early goings.
Connors actually got a car tire and nearly decapitated Takahashi with it. When that failed, he hit him in the gut with it and was in control of the match for a good portion of it. Takahashi got in some offense here and there as he hit some chops, a snap suplex, and head scissors, but Connors would shut him down quickly.
Takahashi got in on the tire action and finally regained some control after thanks to a Death Valley Driver into the turnbuckles. Connors set up for a spear, but Hiromu used his submission skills to lock him in a Triangle choke. Connors got out of it and then nearly killed hit for a spear that got a strong nearfall.
Connors hit him with another spear. The match seemed over at this point. But Hiromu counters with a bunch of superkicks and a clothesline that resulted in a nearfall. The climax saw Hiromu return the favor and hit Connors with the tire. He then connected with a Time Bomb and Time Bomb 2 for the win.
