State of the Art 2019: Portland - Results

At the start of the show, Bully Ray shows up and interrupts the beginning of the proceeding, forcing referee Todd Sinclair and ring announcer Bobby Cruise, and says he still has something against Sinclair after Final Battle. He then says he is in a bad news and wants his match over with, and says that Portland, Oregon makes him sick. After verbally bashing the fans, he issues an open challenge where he boasts that he will beat any "piece of crap" wrestler in the back. "Hot Sauce" Tracy Williams shows up with a garbage can full of weapons and says that he is glad to see Bully Ray in the ring making the show all about him, and says he not only accepts his challenge, but wants their match to be hardcore, no-disqualifications and anything goes. Bully Ray responds by kicking Williams in the groin before saying this is a great idea before demanding Sinclair ring the bell to start the match.

"Hot Sauce" Tracy Williams beats Bully Ray in a hardcore, no-disqualification anything goes match with a school kid after dodging a top rope senton. After the match, Bully Ray punches Williams and referee Todd Sinclair, and when "Overkill" Mark Haskins rushes in to fight Bully Ray, Bully puts him through a table.

Mazzerati beats Danika Della Rouge. After the match, The Allure (Angelina Love, Velvet Sky, "The Exotic Goddess" Mandy Leon) attack both women, and Della Rouge gets branded with lipstick.

Dalton Castle and rush are eliminated by count-out after Dalton Castle trips Rush, which leads to a brawl between both men that leads to the back.

Kenny King guests on commentary for the next match.

Jay Lethal beats Jay Briscoe. During the match, Lethal chews out Briscoe for grabbing a steel chair and not being the same guy he faced forthe ROH World Television Championship in 2015, and says that both Briscoe - and ROH - both need to get back on track. Later on in the match, Kenny King hands Briscoe another chair, but Lethal still manages to beat Briscoe when Briscoe refuses to use it. Lethal and Briscoe show repect after the match.

It is announced that "Overkill" Mark Haskins is out of the main event following the attack on him by Bully Ray.

It is then revealed on commentary that Haskins has signed a medical waiver.

Matt Taven beats Flip Gordon, PCO and "Overkill" Mark Haskins in a Defy or Deny Match. PCO is eliminated after hitting Taven with a steel chair after Vinny Marseglia and TK O'Ryan distract PCO.

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!

State Of The Art: San Antonio - The Results

It is announced that The Briscoes (Jay and Mark Briscoe) will not be on the show tonight due to travel issues, and that replacements will be named during the main event.

The Kingdom (Matt Taven and Vinny Marseglia) beat The Boys. During the match, one of The Boys is dragged into the ring and comes back earing a bloodied yellow raincoat before being dragged by Marseglia again, this time into the pit between the stage and the audience. After the match, The Kingdom continues to attack The Boys, and one of them is hit with the Bang-a-rang by Matt Taven. Taven says this was for Dalton Castle, who he says is not here tonight due to him nursing his injuries. He says that Castle is ducking him and that he is the real ROH World Champion. Taven also says that ROH failed to mention that The Briscoes (Jay and Mark Briscoe) are at home as well, and to not worry as The Kingdom are putting themselves where they belonged in the first place: the main event. He then guarantees a victory as well as himself being the next ROH World Champion.

Before the next match, Rhett Titus says that while everyone is asking if Flip Gordon is all in, Flip is in the ring with him and his luck has run "all out."

Flip Gordon beats Rhett Titus.

Sumie Sakai and Tenille Dashwood beat Thunder Rosa and Kelly Klein. (Thunder Rosa is best known as Kobra Moon from Lucha Underground.)

Jay Lethal beats TK O'Ryan.

Before the next match, Scorpio Sky says San Antonio, Texas is the worst town he has ever been in. "The Heavy Metal Rebel" Frankie Kazarian says that the best thing about the town is that they will eventually leave, and if the fans don't believe him, they can ask Kahwi Leonard, as he has left the spurs to play for the Los Angeles Lakers. "Almighty" Christopher Daniels calls San Antionio a "diaper explosion" and a "dumpster fire," and that SoCal Uncensored is here to inspire the fans to be more like them and less like themselves, and until then, they have permission to worship them now.

Team CMLL (Atlantis, Stuka Jr., Guerrero Maya Jr.) beat SoCal Uncensored ("Almighty" Christopher Daniels, "The Heavy Metal Rebel" Frankie Kazarian, Scorpio Sky).
