Live from Hammerstein Ballroom, New York/USA
Before the show starts we get a promo from the new general manager of Jamboree. Orton says that obviously neither The Undisputed Era or The Elite are playing by the rules, and as general manager it's his simple duty to respond and make actions when something happens, like the incident last week. He want to remind both factions, that both the EAM Title and The Ornate Prime Title is in each stable, so if they are gonna contine this feud any longer, they will do have to pull double duty at Fight For Glory. Because there is no way we are gonna have a Fight For Glory without those titles being defended. And I am gonna make sure that last weeks incident wont get by unrecognized, make sure about that. And yeah, I just wanna make this very clear. If you wanna play by the rules or not, it's all up to you. But be aware that breaking them will have consequences. So, these two weeks before Fight For Glory, if any of the members of either The Undisputed Era or The Elite as much as touch each other outside a booked contest, there is just one last thing to do for that person in EAM, and that is to pack his bags. I hope I have made myself clear on this point.
Don’t want two huge matches ruined!
We then get the announcement regarding tonights show, and tonights main event will feature a contest between The Leader of The Elite, and Ornate Prime Champion; Adam Cole, and returning member of The Elite; Chris Jericho. And all members of either faction will be banned from ringside. We will also get two more debuts today, as Jamie Hayter wrestles her first match inside the EAM ring, and there are rumors about a former UFC fighter making his first appearence tonight. That and much more in this week's episode of monday night Jamboree! We cut to the vignette...
Tag Team Matchup
The Guerrillas Of Destiny (Tama Tonga & Tanga Loa) Vs Lucha Bros (Fenix and Pentagon Jr.)
Solid match from both teams. Lot of talent in this one. Both sides look great throughout. Lots of high flying throughout this as well. At the end of the match Lucha Bros pick up the win.
We see a promo, this time from the irish lass Becky Lynch. She is angry as a lemming, cutting a promo asking how many times she has to kick Ronda's ass to get rid of her. It's Becky that should have had a title match against Jax at Fight For Glory, not Charlotte. But Ronda Rousey had other plans. Well, Becky wants Ronda to listen very carefully, as she's got a propotial for Ronda. What if they bested each other one more time, so Ronda get's a chance to kick Becky's ass? Because Becky really got nothing to prove. But, the loser of the contest, will not be allowed to compete for the title ever again!? We cut to commercial break...
Wow very good news for sure but very cruel on both.
As we get back from commercial break we go to Renee Young at the interview table where she is standing together with the debuting Jamie Hayter. Renne asks what her expectations etc is and Jamie says that just being able to compete inside a EAM ring is an honor, so she will just take it from there, enjoy herself and get to know everything. Renee wishes her good luck as her match is up next. We go shortly backstage where AJ Styles knocks on the door to the new general manager, but when the door opens, it's not Orton who opens but Orange Cassidy? He looks around, like he doesn't even see Styles, then shuts the door. Styles looks confused. He knocks on the door again, but again it's Orange Cassidy opening the door. He once again looks around, as if he doesn't see Styles, then once again shuts the door shut. Styles is about to knock again, but decides not to. He leaves, cursing, saying anything about Cassidy we cannot hear as the camera cut's back to he ring and the match with the debuting Jamie Hayter.
Singles Matchup
Penelope Ford Vs Jamie Hayter
Hayter was born just an hour away from the dead guy who was a big part of EAM. That really good looking guy Travis Gerweck. Jamie is like a current Paige. Ford tries her hardest but gets a wet willy and hair in her mouth. Jamie gets the win after a Tampon T Bone. Dominant first win.
We go backstage where we hook up with Alexa Bliss and Leah Von Dutch in their locker room. We see Leah trying on hundreds of dirrent outfits in a short of timelapse before Alexa finally agrees on one attire. It looks strangely familiar somewhat. To be honest, Leah Von Dutch suddenly starts to look very much like a very special person....
*****
We see a promotional video with Hulk Hogan. It looks like it's a promo shot during the 80's but it's nit. It's only made to look like it. Hogan is shooting is usual routine of crap with " What'ya gonna do " etc. He put his attention on Mick Foley calling him glorified, and his ego being big, not putting enyone over etc. Hogan calls Foley a glorified stuntman, with a four-move arsenal. His Double Arm-DDT had got nothing on his leg-drop brother! He goes on, but as the camera after a bit zooms some bits out we can see that all this is Hogan cutting promos in front of a green-screen, probably down in his own basement, because suddenly he gets interrupted when someone knocks on the door. Hogan has to stop and asks what it is? Brooke opens the door and tells him that dinner is ready. Hulk says he will be right there, he just have to wrap this up. Brooke leaves and Hogan wraps up the promo, trying to rip up his shirt like he used to in the old days. But this time, the shirt doesn't rip that easily. Luckily for Hulk, he is alone in the basement, because this is a bit embarrising. After some struggle he manage to rip it apart and throws it on the floor before hulking up and looking into the camera, yelling " What'ya gonna do Mick? When the Hulkster runs wild on you?!!? " Scene cuts....
Hahaha hilarious can’t stop laughing. Including the green screen. Funny because Hulk only has 1 move.
We go backstage where we hook up with Ricochet who is making ready for his match wich is up next. He's bandaging his wrists when suddenly someone walks by the door. He asks if there is somebody there. But nobody answers. He continue to bandage his wrists when suddenly again there is movement in the corner of his eye. Suddenly, a pair of boots are standing in front of him. He slowly looks up, and looks right into the face of Prince Puma! Ricochet does not manage to react before Prince Puma quickly grabs his hands around his troat. He strangles the life out of him. Ricochet quickly fades.....He wakes up by hands nudging him. It's one of the guys in the crew, telling him that he has to wake up as his music is playing in the arena, and his opponent is already standing in the ring. Ricochet thanx the guy and gets up on his feet. He slaps himself in the face a couple of times, before picking up a bottle of water, pouring the contest into his face, trying to get to himself again. A couple of more slaps to the face and he makes himself ready, walking out of the locker room and down the hall to the gorilla position...
Singles Matchup
Andrade Vs Ricochet
Ricochet still bothered by Puma. Back and forth match from both men. High flying, signature and finishing moves throughout. At the end of the match Andrade misses a 450 which leads to a 630 by Rick o Shea for the 3 count.
We get an announcement regarding next weeks show. Besides the already confirmed EAM Title Match between Kenny Omega and Tommaso Ciampa, The Young Bucks will face off against reDragon in a Falls Count Anywhere Tag Team Matchup. Asuka will also square off against newly signed Session Moth Martina. That's guaranteed to be a interesting match. As the announcement ends we cut scene and hook up with Adam Page. He walks into some sort of old abandoned factory building. Trough an old door and down a long abandonded hallway. Down a dark stairway and then down another long hallway before coming to yet another door. He knocks on the door and you can hear that someone from the other side of the door says " Enter " Page enters and walks into a gloomy lit room. There is not much to the room beside a big throne and a firepit in the middle of the room. In the throne sits a familiar person. Finn balor is drinking from a goblet. He is all dressed up in his demon paint and attire. Page walks closer and Finn asks him what he wants. Page explains that he would never disturb him if it wasn't important, but he has nobody else to go to, and actually, if you think about it, they all get a common enemy. Finn takes another big zip from the goblet then asking Page why he should help him. What's in it for him? Page tell Finn to name a prize and he will see if he can fix it. Finn then says it doesn't really matter anyway The band has split and there is nothing he can really do. Why do you think he sits her all by himself? Page asks what if he bring them all back together? Finn says that if he manage to do that, he will gladly help him out. For free...
Very interesting and original promo.
We go back to the arena where we hook up with Cody & Brandi Rhodes who is walking down the hall when they bump into ring announcer Melissa Santos and her boyfriend Brian Cage. Cody and Brandy comment on how cute they are together as a couple. To bad Brian has had such bad luck as of late, not winning many matches. Brian starts to get annoyed, but Melissa calms him down, holding him back as Cody and Brandy keeps on walking down the hall. We cut back to the ring...
Tag Team Matchup
Sane & Io Vs Marina Shafir & Jessamyn Duke
Fun tag match from the both of them wanting to become tag champs. High flying and double team spots throughout this but at the end it’s the Floppy Elbow and Moonsault for the 3 count by JBA. Duke/Shafir have a good showing.
As we get back from commercial break we go back to ringside where Claudio Castagnoli is in the ring cutting a promo. He asks everyone if they do recognize anything? If anything looks familiar? No? Well that figures. Every wrestling fan is a moron, so why would he think anyone would be so eagle eyed that they saw it. Suddenly a video is played on the titantron. It's the attack on MJF by the fan last week. We see the vicious attack, then security escorting the fan out of the arena. Cladio pauses the video, then asks again if they now see anything familair. The video is stopped on a close up on the attire of the attacker. Some people in the audience now sees it. What Claudio is wearing is the exact same attire worn by the fan that attacked MJF last week! He then laughs and reveals it for everyone that still hasn't got it. It was not a random fan that attacked MJF last week, but him! Not many seconds go by before music cranks the arena speakers and MJF and his two friends Richard Holliday and Alexander Hammerstone walks out on the stage. Neither of them seem in a good mood, but MJF looks furious. His face is still pretty battered and bruised after the attack and he is all plastered up. They make their way down the rampway, but it does not seem like Claudio has any hurry with leaving the ring, as he's standing in the middle of it, waiting. The three men reaches ringside and is about to enter the ring when suddenly, they are attacked by something from under the ring! The robed men jumps out from underneath the ring and stops them in their track. It's Paul London, Brian Kendrick and PAC! What business do they have with The Dynasty? Or did they just randomly happen to be under the ring at the right moment? The six men battles it out outside the ring with Claudio still standing in the middle of the ring just supervising the action. Then, music cranks the speakers again. This time it's not a known tune for the EAM fans, so the reaction is not as big, but the surprise factor is some seconds after, because nobody is walking out on the stage, but instead, the person enters the ring trough the audience. Claudio is focused on the men outside, who is now taking the fight up the rampway and up on the stage, so he doesn't see the man walking up behind him. He never know what hit's him either. BAAAM! Right swing and Claudio goes down, the person lifts Claudio up and put him in a rear-naked choke. Claudio's lights quickly fades. The commentator's now mention his name, talking about him having a 10 wins and 7 losses MMA career and that he made quite an impact in MLW when he debuted there. We know know at this point that the person that just choked out Claudio is the man known as " Filthy " Tom Lawlor. He cut's a promo, introducing himself to the EAM fans. His presence in the ring has taken all focus, so even The Dynasty and The Golden Monkey Brotherhood forget to fight and are now just standing, watching the man in the ring. Paul London even offer MJF a banana. Lawlor talks about how he wants to be the first MMA fighter to make a real impact in EAM Promotions. He doesn't get to say anymore as music once again cranks the arena speakers and none other than Conor McGregor walks out on the stage. This segment ends with the two former MMA athletes having a stare down. Conor standing on the stage and Lawlor in the ring. The six men in Dynasty and GMB continue the brawl and take it trough the audience as we cut to commercial....
Wow a lot going on and yea seen Lawlor a lot in MLW. More names coming from MLW is cool and having more MMA guys is interesting. Might not be a big enough place for both Conor and Lawlor though. Possibly two matches set up.
Singles Matchup (Non-Title)
Adam Cole Vs Chris Jericho
It’s been a great show and nobody can get involved in this one. Back and forth match from both guys. Jericho with a lionsault and tamer. Cole with a superkick. Some big spots throughout as well. Jericho code breaker for a 2. Spinning back elbow for another 2. Jericho nails a tilt a whirl...BAAAM FLIP PILEDRIVER REVERSAL OUT OF NOWHERE 1 2 3!. Cole picks up the victory but I doubt this feud is over.
