Live from Hammerstein Ballroom, New York/USA
We are informed that because of the circumstances regarding Jimmy Rave's death (and EAM's tribute show) things will be a bit rushed going into the upcoming Hardcore Hangover PPV, but hopefully the fans will understand this. We are then informed that tonights Jamboree show will feature not one, not two, but three title matches. Not only that, but tonights main event will surely write itself into the history books, as John Cena goes toe to toe with Bobby Lashley, where the winner will be granted a title match against WALTER at the upcoming Hardcore Hangover PPV. But not only that, because of recent happenings these past weeks, Shawn Michaels will be the special guest referee for this match! The screen then suddenly goes all static.... And Paul Heyman appears. And he is the advocate of the " Beast Incarnate " Brooooock Leessnarr!!! Paul then admit, this is something he wish he could have done twenty years ago! The only reason Sabu ever got so popular, was because he had no limits, no understanding of whatever could be dangerous, to either him or his opponent. Death-defying is not a synonym for foolhardy Mr. Sabu! Anyway, looking back a career wrapped in barbwire, being put trough tables and chair-contraptions like thousand times, Paul will give Sabu one thing....his foolhardyness made him not only a erratic force in the ring, but it also gave him a never-quit attitude, but then again, as he was saying earlier, he wished he could have done this twenty years ago in ECW. Because Sabu would and will not stand a chance against The Alpha-Male of the squared circle. The most dangerous man on the planet. Mister Brooooock Leessnarr!! And while Brock makes and end to Sabu's insignificant career, Paul will be showing that whistle down Bill Alfonso's throat, doing everyone a favour, shutting him up once and for all as well! We cut to the Jamboree vignette....
Good promo. Definitely a weird match. Wonder what brock would have been like in ECW. Might be a burial with SABU announcing his retirement tour year it might happen sooner than planned.
Brian and Nigel welcomes us to monday night Jamboree, but offcourse not with such enthusiasm as they normally do. But as Jimmy would have said; " The show must go on " it's a cliche, but it's a good cliche, and time always moves forward, whetever we want it or not. So as you already know, we have three title matches for you tonight, the most anticipated might just be Lee & Dijakovic Vs Fenix and Ospreay. These last couple of weeks, Fenix and Ospreay has really shown that they are a force to be reckoned with in EAM's tag team division, and a team that quickly has become a fan favorite as well. Tonight they might get rewarded for their hard work, if not The EAM Tag Team Champions has other plans. So why waste anymore time? Melissa, take it away!
Almost mini PPV show.
Singles Matchup
Pentagon Jr. Vs Gino Medina
Pentagon gets the win following an armbreaker and a packaged piledriver. Gino gets some moves in but not enough for the win. Picking up more wins.
As we get back from commercial break, we once again find ourselves outside on the streets outside Hammerstein. MJF and his stooges are rallying, telling everyone that passes by how EAM treats their employees and their fans. MJF picks up a megaphone, then he shoots a promo, telling how EAM management are forcing him to defend the EAM title at Hardcore Hangover, in some kind of extreme rules matchup. First, how many times do MJF have to prove that he is better than everyone? And how many times do he have to tell them that he does not want to participate in some sort of stupid ECW copy PPV. Those people who enjoy such stuff knows nothing about wrestling! Wrapping yourself in barbwire, smacking your opponents in the head with chairs and trashcans, putting them trough tables or whatnot. What has that to do with wrestling I ask you? Huh? It's nothing more than pure garbage, a real dumpsterfire, and MJF for once does not have any intentsion of engaging in such ludacris. There is no skills involved in trashing away with foreign objects, or spreading the canvas with tacks. There is nothing special or even remotely impressive, falling down from tall places or objects. In the end, people will see and appreciate real talent. And they will understand what a mockery Hardcore wrestling is to the whole business! Support us in our crusade, making the business better for everyone! Eradicate All Melby's! EAM! EAM! EAM!
MJF been listening to Cornette is seems. Eradicate, Eliminate or Exterminate.
*** PRE-TAPED ***
We get another segment, showing more of AJ Styles and Triple C's European Tour. This time around they are in France, and we can see them visiting the Eiffel tower, eating baguettes and snails, literally everything French. Then we go to this weeks matchup, where Styles are scheduled to defend his title against frenchman Tristan Archer, who we are informed was trained by Joey Ryan and Lance Storm back in the days, and even had a short stint in WWE.
Good build to the story. Wonder how it will end.
EAM CrossPromotional Championship Matchup
AJ Styles (c) w/Triple C Vs Tristan Archer
Okay match here but more one sided. Styles with a clash and a spiral tap for the win. Cesaro lays out Tristan after the match so he gets the final message.
We get a Douglas O' Shea promo next , where we can see a spinning wheel behind him with a lot of names. He explains those names represent the people that he wants to be his opponent for this very special debut. But only one can win. Or rather, only one can lose. Before he spins the wheel, we can make up some of the names, as we see Jon Moxley, WALTER, Lashley and a couple of other names on there before he spins it. It spins for a long time before it finally slows down, going past names like Mick Foley, Masada, MJF.....and stops on .....King Haku...
Interesting names on the wheel. Haku is very random.
*** PRE-TAPED *** (From Impact)
This next match is a pre-taped matchup, as it aired on Impact. We get a short recap, showing how this match came to be. And as every EAM fan might remember, Maria Kanellis was forced to leave EAM after losing to Alexa Bliss at " With Girlish Grit " only to sign a contract with Impact wrestling. And when EAM did their Wrass Bash PPV this season (which was a TNA/Impact homage show) Mike and Maria Kanellis surprisingly challenged the champions John Morrison and Taya Valkyrie, taking The EAM Intergender Tag Team Championships with them to Impact Wrestling in the process. You might say that Maria almos got the last laugh after all. But in Impact as in EAM, champions got to defend their championhip belts, and The Decay has laid their eyes on Mike and Maria's belts...
Good back story. Good that there’s different titles defended in other promotions. Retiring the mixed tag titles was a plan but guess they can stay in a different promotion for now.
EAM Intergender Tag Team Championships Matchup
Mike & Maria Kanellis (c) Vs Crazzy Steve & Rosemary
Interesting match here. Steve and Rosemary look okay and actually forgot that they were champions. Double team action from both teams involved. At the end of the match Maria makes Mike do all the work then pins Steve.
We cut to the backstage area where we hook up with Darby Allin who's seemingly on his way towards his and Jon's locker when suddenly a door gets opened with brute force, smashing Darby right in the temple, sending him down with a crash. The door in question, and who opened it however is a bigger mystery. Because this particular door has been in centre of some controversy before (some might recognize it as the door leading down to the basements) It actually seems that the door opened by it's own will. But that would obviously be preposterous. Allin shakes off the impact by shaking his head before getting back on his feet. He peers into the doorframe and the blackness beyond while scratching his face. That bump will clearly leave a mark (it actually already did mess up his face make-up) Allin takes one step closer towards the door, reaching out to the blackness when.....BAAMM!! He's not able to react before whatever just came trough the opening trampled him back down onto the cold concrete floor. Four men materialize from the door, as almost like a summoning portal. The four people are quickly recognized as Eddie Kingston, Homicide, Santana and Ortiz. And they are all over each other, brawling down the hallway, not even paying attention to the person they just trampled over. Smashing everything from trash cans to merch tables on their way. Allin once again gets back on his feet. What the hell is going on around here?! He once again shakes it off, dusting his clothes with his hands as well. Then he suddenly realize that the door is closed. It was open a second ago. Wasn't it?! How else would those.....did they.....What is happening?!?! He slowly makes his way towards the door. Looking around and behind himself. Is he going crazy? He puts his arm on the doorknob and slowly opens....The door then swings open, and Allin finds himself face to face with a black and white colored face, almost like his own. There is an evil grin, followed by a loud " BOOO! " and the scene cut's....
Awesome LAX. Been wanting them for a while. Especially Kingston. Allin high af fr fr.
EAM Tag Team Championship Matchup
Keith Lee & Donovan Dijakovic (c) Vs Fenix & Will Ospreay
Big title match here. They’ve worked hard and deserve it. PPV level worthy match. Back and forth action, signature and finishing moves. Big size difference here. Double spirit bomb not enough for the win. Lee looks for a moonsault but gets tripped up in the tree or woe leaving Don on his own. CORKSCREW 450. ESSEX DESTROYER. T-VIRUS. FLIP PILEDRIVER…THEY COVER DON…1…NO WAY…FENIX DROPKICKS LEE WHO’S STICK IN THE TOW…2…CAN THEY…3!!!. HOLY SHIT THEY DID IT. NEW CHAMPIONS HERE ON JAMBOREE. The fans are going wild but they deserve it for sure. They celebrate as we cut away.
Next we get to see the highlights from a pre-taped interview that Renee Young was trying to do with Nick Gage, but it quickly went bad. As everyone know, Renee is Jon Moxley's girlfriend, and Nick didn't waste his opportunity, putting Moxley down in front of his girlfriend, saying she could do better etc. This results in Renee slapping Nick over the cheeck, but Nick only laughs as a response. He says it will be a added bonus to see Renee's face when he crushes Jon right in front of her eyes. Renee then spits in Nick's face, only for him to wipe his face with his tongue, disgusting Renee even further. She ends the interview, not wanting to spend more time with this horrendous individual. We cut back to the arena where we are about to witness history, as our main event is about to unfold. Shawn Michaels is already present in the ring as the special guest referee for the occasion...
Good build of Gage surprised he didn’t hit her or attack Allin.
#1 Contenders Matchup - Shawn Michaels as special referee
John Cena Vs Bobby Lashley
Big match here. Most of the match is just test of strengths and knockdowns. A few slams and big bumps…
Before the match comes to a conclusion, WALTER makes his way out to the ring to interfere which leads to HBK having no other possibility to.... deliver a Sweet Chin Music to WALTER! But nothing happens. The boot connects, but WALTER stands unrocked, like nothing really happened. He knocks HBK down with a vicious chop to the chest. Lashley attacks next, only to get the same treatment. Cena is more clever however, and leaves the ring before getting mauled by " Der Ring General " making his vintage mocking " You can't see me " gesture towards WALTER. The match is officially rules a no-contest as informed by Brian and Nigel. What happens, and who will become the #1 Contender, we'll just have to wait and see it seems...
Makes sense to build up the match. Lot of people involved.
