State Of The Art: Dallas - The Results

Sumie Sakai guests on commentary for the next match.

Emma beats Thunder Rosa.

The Young Bucks (Matt and Nick Jackson) beat The Boys with a double Indytaker. After the match, "The American Nightmare" Cody Rhodes shows up with Brandi Rhodes and Barnard the Business Bear and congratulates the Bucks while calling them "the ambassadors of All In." The crowd then chants "Book Flip!," and Cody announces that he will book Flip Gordon before saying he is just kidding. The Bucks leave, then Cody announces that he is running for Senate in the great state of Texas in 2020, and today, he wants to talk about safety. Instead of talking about it, his campaign manager and "the future First Lady of Texas" Brandi Rhodes will. Brandi says the last time she and Cody was here, a man was nearly burned alive and that man was "Almighty" Christopher Daniels. She announces that in the interests of their campaign, the focus is and always has been safety, and in the interest of keeping up with the campaign, the match scheduled between Cody and Shane Taylor for later tonight is cancelled under her authority as campaign manager. Suddenly, Shane Taylor shows up and says he has been around hustlers throughout his life, and that if Cody is convinced he will cancel their match for his safety, then he is mistaken, as there was a time he would not get out of bed for anything less than "a .12 gauge to the dome" as he has hurt more people outside of the ring than he can remember and buried more bodies than he can forget, and he has tried to put all of that behind him to be a Ring of Honor superstar. He says that he is now the guy that gangsters from Cleveland, Ohio to Houston, Texas do not even want to talk about. Brandi questions Shane Taylor's Texas gangster credentials before saying "Thank God we moved the hell outta here, as clearly the class level has suffered substantially." Taylor says Cody must not be from around here anymore, because in Texas, men don't let women fight their battles for them. Cody asks the crowd if they want to see a match tonight, and then says the match is back on. Cody and Taylor then shake hands before Cody and Barnard try to double-team him. Taylor ducks a clothesline and takes them both out, and Brandi retreats along with Cody and Burnard.

The Kingdom (Matt Taven, Vinny Marseglia, TK O'Ryan) retain the ROH World Six-Man Tag Team Championships against Team CMLL (Atlantis, Stuka Jr. Guerrero Maya Jr.).

"The Villain" Marty Scurll beats Jay Lethal and Flip Gordon in a three-way match following a Chickenwing to Flip Gordon. Gordon and Lethal shake hands after the match, but when Lethal leaves, Bully Ray runs into the ring with a steel chair. Flip Gordon sees it coming, superkicks Bully and takes the chair, but Bully responds with a low blow before Flip Gordon can strike back with the chair. Bully Ray then takes the microphone and tells Gordon that if he wasn't so concerned about being "all in," he would have won his match tonight and he would have seen him coming. He tells Gordon to be concerned about him, as he is a young booy and a nobody in the business while he is a 25-time world tag team champion, a two-time Hall of Famer and one of the best wrestlers to ever step foot in the ring. At Best In The World, he plans to beat Gordon up, blow him up, outshoot him and outshine him in the middle of the ring as he outwrestles him. He then tells Gordon that he is better than Gordon will ever be, then fakes hitting him with the steel chair before kicking him in the rib as he is down.

The intermission is Adam Cole vs. ACH from Supercard of Honor 2016.

Rhett Titus guests on commentary for the next two matches.

Before the next match, Scorpio Sky says Dallas, Texas is the worst town he has ever been in. "The Heavy Metal Rebel" Frankie Kazarian says it is another day in Dallas, as the weather sucks, the smell inside is terrible and another Dallas Cowboy football player got busted for violating NFL's substance abuse policy. He says the people in Dallas should be proud, and says that the arena down the road also has a ring of honor, with the only difference being that ROH is not full of "scumbags, reprobates, drug addicts and criminals" much like the people of Dallas. "Almighty" Christopher Daniels says that because Dallas is "a vomit buffet" and "a feces cornucopia," they are here to inspire the people of Dallas to be more like them and less like themselves, but until that happens, they have permission to worship them now.

Shane "Hurricane" Helms and Delirious beat The Addiction ("Almighty" Christopher Daniels and "The Heavy Metal Rebel" Frankie Kazarian) after Helms counters Angel's Wings into a choke slam. During the match, Delrious gets underneath the ring and a small man in blue boots and black shorts wearing a Delirious mask takes his place. After getting some offense in, he goes back underneath the ring and the real Delirious returns. After the match, the tiny Delirious returns from underneath the ring to celebrate with Delirious and Helms.

The Briscoes (Jay and Mark Briscoe) retain the ROH World Tag Team Championships against Killer Elite Squad (Davey Boy Smith Jr. and Lance Archer) after Mark Briscoe reverses a Lance Archer choke slam into a roll-up. After the match, Jay Bricoes say that that The Briscoes are the baddest tag team on the planet and that everyone in the crowd wearing a Bullet Club can go to Hell as they will kill Bullet Club in two weeks at Best In The World. As Jay says that The Young Bucks (Matt and Nick Jackson) are going to die, The Young Bucks come out of the crowd, throw steel chairs at the Briscoes' heads and superkick The Briscoes before holding up the ROH World Tag Team Championships.

J-Rocc Daddy guests on commentary for the next match.

"The American Nightmare" Cody Rhodes beats Shane Taylor. During the match, Cody inadvertently hits referee Paul Turner with a Disaster Kick after Shane Taylor ducks, but when Cody Rhodes calls for "One Boot," Cody gets whipped into Barnard the Business Bear, who inadvertently boots him in the head. Cody then dodges an avalanche splash that hits Barnard before getting in a schoolboy pin for the win. After the match, Shane Taylor takes his frustration out on Barnard the Business Bear, who gets squashed with a splash from the top rope from Taylor. Cody teases running into the ring to save Barnard, but then runs away.

Punishment Martinez beats Jonatham Gresham, "Hangman" Adam Page, Scorpio Sky, Cheeseburger and "The Last Real Man" Silas Young in a Proving Ground Six-Man Mayhem Instant Reward Match following a South Of Heaven choke slam to Cheeseburger to receive a shot at the ROH World Television Championship immediately after the match. (Had Silas Young won, nobody would have gotten a shot after the match.)

Punishment Martinez beats "The Last Real Man" Silas Young to become the ROH World Television Champion!
