JAMBOREE
Live From Vancouver, Canada
After a months vacation, the wrestlers on EAM's main roster is back in action. It's about 3 months to Grandslam 13.....
Show starts with a promotional video. We find ourselves deep in the woods. It's night, and the promo is filmed so we get the feeling we are the ones supervising some sort of ceremony deep inside the woods. Around a small campfire is four hooded figures. They are talking a weird language to each other. One of them are carrying a big knife. He takes the arm of one of the others and cuts a small cut with the knife, then he raise the persons hand, while the others croach under to drink from the dripping blood from the arm. The one with the knife suddenly says " croesawu i'r frawdoliaeth " ...... Suddenly a sound, like a branch breaking, The persons around the fire gets aware of it, and you suddenly realize, they see you, you try to run, but they catch you. You wake up.....https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=etvxd5H1W4E
After the Jamboree vignette we go down to the ring, where Melissa announce tonights first match...
Tag Team Matchup
PAC & Ricochet Vs Love Gun (Chris Sabin & Matt Sydal)
It feels like a long time ago since EAM was on TV but we're back baby!. An awesome promo to open the show with really good storytelling throughout. Good match here with a lot of double team/high flying and signature moves. Shell Shock to Ricochet while PAC nails a reverse rana driver to Matt. Sabin looks for one on PAC who reverses it with a DDT. PAC goes to the top and nails the Red Arrow...1...2...Matt breaks it up. Matt nails the SSP to PAC...1...2...NO Ricochet breaks it up. Ricochet hits the 630 on Matt...1...2...3 it's over!. Another win for PAChet, 10:23, PWG feeling.
We go backstage after the match where we see Joey Ryan together with that woman the internet's been buzzing about. Who is it. They walk into Joey's office and shuts the door before we get to see who it is. When the door is closed, Becky Lynch walks by. She smiles. She knows.....
Laura!?. Wonder who.
Singles Matchup
Mike Bailey Vs John Morrison
Back and forth match in this one from both men with a lot of high flying moves throughout. LU feeling to this one as Morrison gets a Moonlight Drive for a 2. He misses the Starship Pain as Speedball gets the pin with flurry kicks and a Moonknee, 9:21.
We once again see the video from chairman Emil A's office with Conor McGregor, where Emil A. Offers him a briefcase of money, if he agrees to debut on Grandslam, and lose to........
No way Conor would agree to lose!.
We go backstage where Angelico bumps into AJ Styles. Styles says it's a shame Angelico supports the other team (gay joke there), he would be so good in Bullet Club. By the way, he wonders if Angelico has heard who his opponent tonights is. Angelico says no, but that it doesn't matter who it is. He's ready for everything. he adjusts the Ornate Prime Championship on his shoulder while saying it, being pretty confident. Styles laughs and says that he is scheduled to face Omega and Devitt tonight, in a handicap match. Not for the title, but he's sure Omega and Devitt are more than happy just being able to F*** him up.... And yeah, he almost forgot. That match is up next.....
Good promo here but poor Angelico or poor BC for that matter. Gay joke haha.
2-On-1 Handicap Matchup (Non-Title)
Kenny Omega & Prince Devitt Vs Angelico
Angelico makes his way to the ring but come on Omega and Devitt attack from behind!. Even before the match starts a beatdown from BC. Croyt's Wrath and a Bloody Sunday in the middle of the ring. Smacks him over the head with the Ornate title for good measure!. Finally Angelico has been tamed.
The EAM Tag Team Champions; The Young Bucks are backstage in the locker room working out. They talk about the tag team division, and how it seem like they are expanding it. It's an unique opportunity to show off against more people. People they've never been able to outwrestle before, because they've never met them. Until now. They also talk about the tag teams in Pride and the fact that they have got their own Tag team title belts. Sooner than later, they will be having a ton of opponents who wants those titles, but.... they are ready. And they have the Bullet Club to lean on.....
Might even get a title vs title.
Singles Matchup
Claudio Castagnoli Vs Daniel Bryan
Thought Daniel was retired but guess not. Solid 10 minute match here from both men. Lot of back and forth action throughout this one as a Knee misses from Daniel before a Cesaro swing and Neutralizer for the 3 count, ROH feeling.
As we get back from commercial we find ourselves in a dark arena. Dark all over but for a small spotlight that's pointed right at the middle of the ring where a rocking chair is placed. The audience are wearing shep masks, that suddenly starts to glow, and in a couple of seconds, the arena is lit up by thousands of glowing sheep masks. From the arena speakers comes Bray Wyatt's music. And out on the stage walks Bray, alone. The other members of the Wyatt's are not there. The so called family. He walks down the ramp and down to ringside and enters the ring where he seats himself in the rocking chair. He says nothing. The spotlight above him suddenly darkens, making more of a gloomy light. Bray picks up a small book from inside his vest, and starts to read. It's a fairy tale from Norway, about fox widow who lives in the middle of the forest. Many men comes bym trying to win her heart. A Hare. A Bear, and a Wolf. But she declines all three of them, throwing them out of the house, saying that they are not like her, they are not like him (her former husband). In the end another fox comes by, and he manage to win her heart. (The moral of this fairy tale has been discussed many times in Norway because it could be seen as a racial morale) the promo ends with Bray putting the book back inside his vest, then makina gesture, like blowing out a candle. It goes dark. Not even the glow from the sheep masks in the audience, they are all gone. Bray is gone... We go to commercial....
WOW one of the best stories in a while. What a promo here very clever and can see it actually happen in your head. Better treatment of Wyatt's than WWE.
Singles Matchup (Non-Title)
Randy Orton Vs Dean Ambrose
WWE feeling in this one with a simple match to it. Back and forth action from the both men with signature moves throughout as well. Ambrose misses a DD and Orton gets an RKO...
Match gets interrupted when AJ Styles enters the fray and the match is rules a No-Contest. Orton gets out of the ring with the EAM Title over his shoulder when someone suddenly runs down the ramp. Passes Orton and makes his way into the ring, attacking Stylines and Ambrose. it's Brian Cage! He works down both men, throwing Styles out of the ring, and performing a powerbomb on Ambrose in the middle of the ring. Cage took Ambrose out during the Sky is The Limit Match also remember. Ambrose is out and Styles are out outside the ring while Cage poses in the ring. Orton has made his way up on the stage, supervising the event from there when someone suddenly attacks him from behind! Its Claudio! They start to fight it out on the stage, throwing punches at each other. The EAM Title has fallen down on the stage floor, and neither men seems to care as they continue to throw punches at each other. Claudio with a European Uppercut. He connects! Orton goes backwcards a few steps, managing to keep on his feet. Claudio charges. Another European Uppercut connects! Orton staggers backwards. He is close to the end of the stage now.. This is dangerous. Underneath is the hard concrete floor. But wait. Cage has made his way up there. He puts up a table. Orton fights back on the stage. Getting his footing back for a second. Claudio reverses the blow. Orton back again. Cage setting up a second table underneath. Orton fights back. Polish hammer to Claudio. He connects! AJ Styles has made his way back on his feet and now interferes with Cage. He managed to put up the second table before AJ gets there. They start to fight it out. Claudio with a big boot to Orton. Noo... Orton reverses, and suddenly it's Claudio who's on the nip of falling down onto the two tables that Cage has set up. Orton charges. Claudio reverses! Orton goes over the edge and down. He crushes trough the tables! The EAM Champion is out! It's total chaos! Styles and Cage has taken the fight out trough the audience, and the last thing that happens on the show is Cage throwing Styles trough a wall backstage. Then Ambrose attacks from behind. He throws punches and kicks at Cage in a furious fashion before Cage has had enough and pushes Ambrose backwards. Amrbrose goes for a clothesline but gets knocked down by Cage. Back in the arena EMT's comes running to help out The EAM Champion while Claudio is standing over him on the stage with The EAM Title in his hands......Then, from out of nowhere comes Dean Ambrose! He pushes Claudio off the stage, and Claudio falls over all the EMT's and Orton! What the hell is going on? Ambrose picks up the title, and we see a camera films backstage, where Cage is out cold, been throwing trough a window.... And that, for sure, is tha last thing to happen this episode.....
CRAZINESS!. Complete chaos all over the building. Like a PPV ending as well. All men look good and Ambrose ending with the title is a clever thing showing he's not out of the picture yet. Bringing Cage up to main event level is also good. Wonder what will happen because Cesaro's fighting Orton at GS!.
