Flip! Flip! Flip Gordon!
This week ROH TV takes a look at Flip Gordon.
We start the show with a look at the real life of Flip Gordon. He talks about his upbringing and how he wrestling changed his life. Flip talked about his college career and how he got into gymnastics. He talks about his military career.
Flip Gordon vs Matt Sydal
This is Flip's debut from an April 2017 episode of ROH TV. Wow, Flip's appearance has changed a lot since his debut. Great pace in this match. Both men looked very good. Flip showed a lot of heart and cool offense in his debut. Sydal picked up the win with his Shooting Star finish. Really good, quick match. I miss seeing Sydal in ROH. Winner: Matt Sydal
Flip Gordon vs Bully Ray
This is an I Quit match from Final Battle 2018. Crazy the difference in Flip from April 17 - December 18. Great fight! Flip was busted open. Bully brought Flip's girlfriend over the rail and threated to power bomb her through a table. Carry Silkin interfered on Flip's behalf. Silas and Cheeseburger both made run-ins. Colt Cabana ran down to take out Silas and Bully, but he was met with a low blow by Silas. Bully and Young started to set the table on fire,but the lights went out and Sandman interfered. Flip hit the Star-Spangled Stunner and beat Bully with kendo sticks until Bully said "I Quit." Very fun. Overbooked? Maybe. Teasing the flaming table and not giving it to us kind of sucked, but the whole match was fun enough to overlook that. Good stuff. Winner: Flip Gordon
Flip talks about his injury history in ROH and joining Villain Enterprise.
Flip Gordon vs Bandido
This was the main event of War of the Worlds Night One from Buffalo in May 2019. This match was insane. Flip and Bandido have two of the coolest move sets in wrestling. So much athleticism on display in this match. Flip won with the Flip-5. Do yourself a favor and go watch this match! Flip vs Bandido is one of my favorite match ups in wrestling today. Winner: Flip Gordon
Flip talks some more about his time in ROH, and we are treated to a highlight video looking at Flip's full ROH career. Good stuff! Flip seems like a genuine good guy, and it was to take a quick look at his career so far. I really think he would have beaten Rush for the title during Mania weekend, but what do I know? Another solid week of ROH TV!
