Episode #189 - Taped in New York/USA


Show opens with a Mil Muertes promo, with The Sinister Minister; James Mitchell doing the talking. He says he's been keeping an eye on Kross for a while, and he gotta admit, his feats are pretty impressive. But that's until he gets demolished by his client, The Man of a Thousand Deaths, Mil Muertes. They want to lay down a challenge to Kross, because few men have ever beaten him in singles competition. And Mitchell is sure Kross would love to be one of the few wouldn't you? It's a club with few members, but surely would look good with a member like Cross in it (It's almost like Mitchell tries to seduce Kross into accepting this challenge) So, if you're not a coward, and a man of your words, Mil Muertes wants to challenge you for The Pride Championship at the upcoming Night of The Slammies ppv. Because nothing would be more satisfying than standing over you on the red carpet, putting that title on my client. We await your answer. Hahahah! We cut go the Pride vignette...

We get a Killer Kross promo next, where he responds to James Mitchell's rousing little speech. He says he wouldn't have been Pride Champion if he backed down from a fight. Besides, nothing would make him more happy than to beat that smug of Mitchell's face and bury Mil in the process.

We get a promo from The Pride Tag Team Champions next, as Otis and Tucker is in the ring cutting a promo. They talk about the upcoming weeks, and that Grandslam is under 2 months away. Not only that, it's X-Mas soon. So much to be excited for, that's for sure. Tucker then talks about their journey so far in EAM, and how they have enjoyed every minute of it. Since the first time they stepped inside these ropes, they have been cheered by the fans. And it's no secret, it's because of the fans they do what they do. And it's because of the fans they are where they are. The longest reigning tag team champions in Pride history, and even soon on par with the legendary tag team of KENTA & Kenta! They have already made history, so everything from this point out is concidered a bonus. But one thing is for certain, they still enjoy every single minute inside these ropes! Music then suddenly cranks the arena speakers. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O0VzZAuLdLM . The audience explodes! They are back! The Briscoes are back! They get one hell of a pop as they enters the stage. Last time we saw them in EAM is almost a year ago, when they faced each other in the finals of Ring Of Honor's tournament to crown the new Pure Champion. That title is seemingly lost since then, and now it seems that The Briscoes are focused on a comeback in EAM, and they chose to come to Pride first! They make their way down the ramp and into the ring where they go face to face with The Pride Tag Team Champions. We then get a promo from Briscoes, who starts with congratulating Heavy Machinery on their feats in EAM, they then ask Otis and Tucker if they know who they are? Before any of them manage to answer they go on about how they have been champions in all promotions they have worked for, including EAM Promotions. Heavy Machinery explains how they tend to look forward and not backwards. One of the reasons of their success here in EAM. Besides, it's better to hold few titles for a long time, than to hold many titles for a short time. Things gets heated between them after a while, and a proposal is made. Not a challenge for a match, but something we have yet to see here in EAM. Briscoes admits that few tag teams has been able to beat Otis and Tucker in the ring, alltough they can assure everyone in the arena that Jay and Mark easily could. So, they propose something even more interesting. A Redneck Dekatlon, for the Pride Tag Team Championships. Starting next week and ending at Grandslam! It seems like this idea is something the fans wants to see. Otis and Tucker accepts!
