Episode #206 - Taped in New York/USA


We get a sort of recap from the last couple of weeks to start with, as we are introduced to two new members of the Pride roster. SHLAK and Masada was shecduled to appear on last weeks Pride show, but a incident happened, so the match never happened. We are then informed that that match will take place tonight instead. We are then informed that the reason for all this is something that happened in EAM's performance center, then it happened again during last weeks tapings. We then get the words from EAM referee Bryce Remsburg himself, who explains what happened. As he was the referee in charge on both occasions. But it ended up with him being knocked out of the equation. He's gotta admit, he's been referee for a long time, and he has seen some crazy things, but for the most time, he always felt pretty safe. Even with people like Jon Moxley or Nick Gage being in the same ring as him. Because mostly, whatever went down inside that squared circle, affected the wrestlers and not him. At least not in the physical aspect. But these two individuals are a whole other breed. And as Bryce mentions it, he actually seems pretty uncomfortable, being the one that needs to handle this situation. He's scheduled to referee tonights matchup as well, which will be the first official match these two guys do on Pride. Let's just hope they can control themselves a little... We cut to the Pride vignette....

Good promo from legendary referee and looks like he’s going have to bring out the visor and gloves again.

Don Callis & Joe Rogan welcomes us to yet another episode of Pride before getting brutally interrupted as Mil Muertes music hits the speakers. Mil makes his way out on the stage together with James Mitchell, and they make their way down to the ring. Mitchell cut's a promo, obviously because Mil never speaks. He makes it short and sweet, informing everyone about the situation, and Aaron should be very glad he's not allowed inside the arena at this point, because when Mil see's him, he's gotta regret the minute he so cowardly stole The Pride Championship from him. Don't bite the hand that feeds you Stevens. And do not sign your own deathwish if you don't mean it. Mil Muertes is known as the man of 1000 deaths. And going towards the PPV, you can think about all the possible outcomes, and what Mil will choose to finish you off. Because one thing is for certain, Aaron Stevens will be a part of that statistics, without even being able to defend the title he so callously stole, even once! Moahahahahahaha! We cut to a infomercial then, informing us that tonights main event is gonna be somewhat special, as Eli Drake will be teaming up with Bronson and Boulder, taking on Chad Gable and The Varsity Blondes! That's surely not a match you wanna miss! We then cut back to the arena where we are finally ready for our first match of the evening, and Mandy is ready to announce the competitors...

Should be interesting to see if there’s a gimmick and I’ve always wanted a crucifix match. Attach your opponent to a crucifix and hang them above the stage or ring. Call it Resurrection Rites or something. Also when Minister was talking I just thought of a dream match…Brock vs Mil…maybe if the Pride rumours are true.

Tag Team Matchup
The Anti-Fun Police (Chief Deputy Dunne & Los Federales Santos Jr.) Vs FTR (Cash Wheeler & Dash Harwood)

FTR pick up the win following some hefty submissions and technical moves. Good solid match from both sides though.

As we get back from commercial break, we are about to get this match that we where informed about in the opening of the show, but before that we get the information in form of a promo, that Super Humman will make an appearance on the upcoming Hardcore Hangover PPV, where he will do his most insane stunt/bump to date! We get to hear from him personally, and he encourages everyone to be there, not only to witness some insane wrestling, but to witness Super Humman do something that will make The Danbury Fall feel like a sunday walk in the park. Be there, to witness history! FUCK THIS SHIT!!!

Should be interesting. Don’t know much about him apart from the table spot but it works for HH.

Singles Matchup
SHLAK Vs Masada

Almost like it was destined, it happens again. Not long after their official introduction and the bell rings, the two men goes at each other with vengeance, and once again Remsburg finds himself in the crossfire. He gets knocked down with great impact, and he see's no other possibility to ends this match before he finds himself more hurt. He rolls out of the ring and makes it official. But this only enrages both competitors even more. But Hemsburg leaves the site before getting into more trouble as Mandy Leon tells the fans in the attendance the official ruling....

Fans boo at this result but it makes sense. This match might be too brutal for TV. No contest.

3-On-3 Tag Team Matchup
Bear Country (Bear Bronson and Bear Boulder) & Eli Drake Vs Varsity Blondes (Brian Pillman Jr. & Griff G.) & Chad Gable

Pretty solid match from all involved. Back and forth, signature and finishing moves. At the end of the match and maybe a shock ending as Brian gets the pin on Bronson.
