- Updated: November 23, 2016
Ring of Honor TVEpisode #270Taped at the William J. Myers Pavilion in Baltimore Maryland
* Kyle O’Reilly vs. “The Last Real Man” Silas Young *
– Highlights are shown from a “Road To Final Battle” match, that took place in Lakeland Florida, back on October 22nd. The focus of the video is to show how close, Silas Young came to capturing the ROH World Championship from Adam Cole. On this show, Young faces the man, who will challenge Cole for the ROH World Title at Final Battle in Kyle O’Reilly.
– No adhering to the ROH code of honor by “The Last Real Man”. Young refuses to shake O’Reilly’s hand…. Some really nice chain wrestling to start off this one. Evenly contested early on. The momentum of the match shifts when O’Reilly does what, he does best. Identifying his opponents weak point, and then targeting it. Putting his opponent in a position, where they are forced to spend all their time on the defensive. O’Reilly goes after Young’s surgically repaired left knee. With kicks and direct strikes to that area. Tries on multiple ocassions to apply a variation of different submission holds.
– Silas Young is able to turn the tables in his favor. By countering O’Reilly and throwing him to the outside of the ring. This leads to Young brawling with and beating down O’Reilly on the outside. Silas throws Kyle into the barricade, as the show goes to it’s first break.
– When the show returns. Young is still in control. This time on the inside of the ring. O’Reilly eventually battles back and hits a flurry of kicks that ground Silas Young. O’Reilly goes after Young’s left leg again. Applying a grapevine submission hold. O’Reilly then shifts his body and turns it into a heel hook submission. Young manages to get to the ropes, but it isn’t long before O’Reilly grounds him again. Young battles back, gets to his feet and hits a sweet looking neckbreaker on O’Reilly. It leads to the first close fall of the match.
-Back to more chain wrestling between these two men. O’Reilly now starts going upstairs. Targeting Young’s arm. Silas manages to counter out and hit a cutter on O’Reilly. This leads to yet another close pinfall attempt. Silas attempts to put O’Reilly away with his finisher, Misery. Kyle counters, breaks free and hits a cradle suplex. Young gets back on his feet and delivers a german suplex on O’Reilly. Nice back and forth exchange follows. Where they both men hit discus strikes and knock each other down.
– Meanwhile, ROH World Champion, Adam Cole arrives to the broadcast area. Joins Kevin Kelly and Steve Corino. Just as this is happening. Young hits a rolling firemen’s carry on O’Reilly, and heads to the top rope. Cole on commentary says that he is out here, to watch Kyle choke and lose this match. Kyle meets Silas on the top rope. Picks him up and slams him into his knee. He then applies an arm bar lock on Young in the center of the ring. Young manages to roll out and get to the ropes, to break the hold. Back on his feet, Silas goes for “Misery”. O’Reilly counters, lifts Young up and hits a brainbuster. O’Reilly covers Young and secures the victory.
* Kyle O’Reilly defeats Silas Young by pinfall
After the match. Kevin Kelly and Steve Corino put over Silas Young for his performance. Kelly grabs a mic and goes to interview Young at ringside. Kelly compliments Young for his recent performances. Silas tells Kelly that he wasn’t paying attention to what he just said, because he is distracted by a fan at ringside, dressed up as Jushin Thunder Liger. Young criticizes the fan and says this is an example of what adult men have become, in this day and age. Young insults the Liger fan by saying that he is an adult man playing dress up. Living in a false world of make believe. Young calls the guy he idolizes in Liger, a phony and coward. Young says that Liger has been in the wrestling business for 30 plus years and has never shown his face, because he is embarassed. Young states that come Final Battle. He is going to prove that Liger is just a child playing a character. That it will be an actor vs a real man in him.
