Episode #144 - Taped in New York/USA


We start with a recap from last weeks actions. Then we see then stare off between Conor McGregor and Khabib Nurmagomedov. Will get a rematch here in EAM? The fans have almost not been speaking about something else the recent week. We are not far away from Supersplash either, so there are bound to be some big matches coming up! We cut to the Pride vignette.

We go to ringside for our first match of the eving, which is a big 8-man tag team extravaganza. There are many great tag teams in Pride right now, and the competition are strong. Rumors are that Heavy Machinery has the biggest chance getting a title match against Private Party at Supersplash, but as the commentators tell us, there are also been rumors about a big tag team scramble matchup for the titles. I guess we'll just have to wait and see. Until then, take it away Mandy!

Scramble tag match different I guess instead of just single.

8-Man Tag Team Matchup
The Rascalz (Zachary Wentz & Desmond Xavier) Vs The Guerrillas Of Destiny (Tama Tonga & Tanga Loa) Vs Sonny Defarge & Cornelius Crummels Vs Tripp Cassidy & Mick Moretti

Lots of action from all teams involved. Big bumps, high flying, signature and finishing moves but at the end Destiny get the win in pretty dominant fashion but other teams get spots and stuff in including dives to the outside of the ring.

We cut back to the ring for our next match where Will Ospreay's already in the ring. He's got a microphone and cut's a promo, talking about Edge, wondering how he can be such a big hero for all those marks out there, because he is a coward! He admit Edge got lucky and got the victory at Wrass Bash, but have anyone seen him afterwards? No? I thought so! As I said, a coward! Nakamura's music suddenly cranks the arena speakers and interrrupts Ospreay's ranting. But no Nakamura walks out on the stage. The music continues. What is this? There he comes. He makes it out on the stage, waving his hands, doing his usual antics. Wait! That's not Shinsuke! That's....that's Edge! He pretends to be Nakamura as he makes his way down the rampway and finally into the ring where he gets handed a microphone by one of the ring crew members. Edge gets a great pop from the audience as he puts down Ospreay and speals about being a coward and whatnot. He then says he can wrestle Ospreay again here and nopw tonight if that was it. Ospreay then says " sure, let's do it then! " this get a big reaction from the audience. We where going to have Nakamura Vs Ospreay, but now we get Edge Vs Ospreay instead! Speaking about, where is Nakamura?

Singles Matchup
Will Ospreay Vs Edge

Hmm very strange a rematch thought the feud was over. Edge with a spear and educution for a 2. Will comes back with a front superkick, Essex Destroyer for 2 but at the end of the match Will looks a finisher as Edge nails the SPEAR...WILL WITH THE DECAPITATOR REVERSING IN MID AIR....1...2...3...OMG HE DID IT. HUGE NEEDED WIN FOR WILL!. Sending a message to everybody in Pride. Finally getting that win.

As we are going to commercial break we cut to the backstage where we can see medics are helping Nakamura onto a stretcher. What happened? They carry him into a ambulance and drice off. We cut to commercial break.

As we get back from commercial break and are about to go to our main event, general manager Drake Younger walks out on the stage. He doesn't stop there, as he makes his way down the rampway and into the ring. He tells everyone he's got some big news that he wants to share with everyone. As you all know, we are approaching Supersplash with rapid speed, and as you all know, WALTER will be defending his Pride Championship in a Elimination Chamber match during the event, a match that we have not done many times here in EAM. However, you might wonder and want to know who his opponent for that match will be? The audience makes a ton of noise. Offcourse they wanna know. We all wanna know! Drake then says that the competition in Pride these days are pretty strong, with many great wrestlers, almost weekly proves that they deserves a shot at The Pride Championship. But, it's after all Supersplash we are talking about, one of the big six as it is called. And only the greatest performers will be granted a spot on the card. So, without further ado. The wrestlers that will be competing in The Elimination Chamber matchup at Supersplash, besides WALTER offcourse, are..... Drew McIntyre, Lars Sullivan, Dominik Dijakovic, Kazuchika Okada and....the last entrant will be decided in tonights main event!

Hmm mistake adding Okada imo.
Singles Matchup - Winner recives a spot in the Elimination Chamber Matchup at Supersplash
Jeff Cobb Vs Braun Strowman

Kind of sad all six of them can’t be in the chamber match since they’ve all been feuding over the past couple of months and are all big and Okada is more random. Solid hard hitting match from both men desperately trying to get that last spot. Braun with big spots but at the end of the match Cobb with a massive F-5000 and Tour of the Islands for the 3 count!. Vince won’t be happy but Cornette will. After the match Braun is going crazy at ringside before storming up the rampway...hm maybe he could go after someone.
