1. Non-title: AJ Styles def. Kyle O'Reilly.

2. Adam Pearce def. Tadarius Thomas (clips only).

3. The Briscoes def. the Young Buck when Jay Briscoe pinned Matt Jackson. 

This week's show is from Death Before Dishonor night 1 in Milwaukee. The broadcast in my area was delayed 15 minutes because the Mets game ran way long.

What I missed: The Briscoes attempt rapping to plug their match vs. the Young Bucks. I just hope this is on YouTube.

1. Non-title: AJ Styles vs. Kyle O'Reilly (w/Bobby Fish).

Fish's mustache all of a sudden has handlebars. Has he been watching old Blackjacks tapes or getting grooming advice from Silas Young? Inquiring minds wanna know!

Digression over. This match was just flat awesome. Caprice Coleman is on commentary, subbing for Steve Corino, who will be along later as per normal with some of these shows. Coleman is great here. Kevin Kelly put over how Styles, on his recent tour of Japan, had experienced some shoulder issues, and O'Reilly smartly works on the injured wing for heat. Coleman likens reDRagon to the Minnesota Wrecking Crew. The tag champs will take that as a compliment, thank you. Both men made several attempts at their respective finishers. O'Reilly went for Armageddon, his cross-armbreaker, early and often, but was not able to get Styles to tap. AJ went for the Styles Clash, but sold the injured arm and couldn't hit it on the first couple of tries. Fish did nothing but run his mouth on the floor. No interference. O'Reilly didn't need the help, anyway.

Late in the match, Styles finally found his second wind and hit the Pele for 2. Managed a partial Clash but no pin cover. Hit the flying forearm off the top for 2. He escapes Armageddon, as well as a guillotine choke, and finally hits the Clash to end it.

Winner: AJ Styles.

Clips are shown of the Decade taking Tadarius Thomas to the woodshed by bringing back former ROH & NWA champ Adam Pearce to teach Thomas some respect. Pearce beat Thomas, but I don't get why they spent more time on Jimmy Jacobs running his mouth. His act is on borrowed time.

2. The Young Bucks vs. the Briscoes.

No mention of the Bucks holding the IWGP Jr. tag titles, so they may have lost those since losing the ROH straps to reDRagon. Corino finally shows up for the superkick party. Hey, the Bucks are treated better than they were when they were in TNA as Generation Me. The Jackson brothers have grown up a bit. Corino made with the jokes about another set of Jackson brothers and their manager-dad, going too far off on a tangent. Jim Ross even got a mention from Corino. Hmmmmm. They threw everything but the kitchen sink at each other, these teams did, and it was way better than what passes for TNA these days. And WWE claims they have no competition? Au contraire! Bucks misfired with More Bang for Your Buck, but Jay hit the Jay Driller for 2 on Matt, who was finally pinned after the Doomsday Device.

Winners: The Briscoes.

Also: Michael Elgin cut a promo on Silas Young for their match, which will air next week. Keep in mind this was taped last month, before Young went on the DL with a broken leg and Elgin lost the title.
