Survival of the Fittest first round: Bateman w/Vita Von Starr and Dutch vs. Bandido

 

Remember, if Von Star gets involved, Board Member Maria Kanellis will remove her from the ROH Women's World Title Tournament.  Bateman has announced that, when we wins the ROH World Title match he'll receive if he wins, he will present the title to his master, Vincent.  No worries about Von Starr and Dutch and referee Joe Mandack sends them to the back.  Code of Honor not adhered to.  .  Lockups, we get a pair of clean breaks.  Feeling out process, Bateman rolls out of a bodyslam and regroups in the corner. They jockey for position on a backslide, Bateman blocks a fireman carry, Bandido with a chop but Bateman with a clubbing forearm.  Knee to the midsection by Bandido but Bateman chops him down.  Kick by Bandido into a corkscrew moonsault.  Bandido with a hurancanrana.  Bateman blocks a kick and slams him on the apron.  Kneelift by Bateman for 2 as we go to commercial.

 

We're back as Bate works Bandido over.  Front slam for 2 by Bateman.  Bandido fires back but he's groggy.  Bateman knocks him down with a forearm.  Bandido with a dropkick to the knee into a Shining Wizard.  Bandido scores a 2.  Chop thrust by Bateman.  Bandido all of a sudden with a press slam into a Michinoku Driver for 2.  Bateman rolls out and Bandido nails a corkscrew moonsault.  Bandido tries a springboard forearm but a big forearm by Bateman stops him and Bateman scores a 2.  Superkick by Bandido into a crucifix for 2.  Running uppercut by Bandido, Bateman with a eye rake.  Bateman with a running knee.  Bandido counters a tombstone.  Bandido nails the 21 Plex for the pin.

 

WINNER: Bandido (Advances to the Survival of the Fittest Final)

 

Out comes the returning Vincent, with Von Starr and Dutch.  Vincent says he's never lied, unlike th erest of society.  While Bateman has done  good job, Vincent has had an epiphany.  He wants the ROH World Championship.  He says that Bateman has failed him.  He tells Bateman that death is th egreatest form of love.  Bateman sacrifices himself for a beating from Dutch and Von Starr.  The Righteous tend to Bateman.
