Episode #211 - Taped in New York/USA


We open with a recap from what is rumored to possibly be the last Pride PPV in history, but we are promised that more information on that regard, and the future of Pride as a whole will come soon. Tonights show starts with a singles match between the two persons who's going to challenge for Aaron Stevens Pride Championship at Swimming With Sharks. If Stevens ever gets back from Mexico that is... Let's waste not waste more time. Take it away Mandy!

Good opening. Wonder what the future holds in store for PRIDE.

Singles Matchup
Sammy Guevara Vs Shane Mercer

A lot on the line. Both saved their jobs at the PPV. Solid match from both men. Some solid high flying and power moves. Mercer with some crazy shit also. Standing moonsault powerslam. Military press turned into a straight jacket piledriver for the 3 count but Sammy pinned as well. I don’t believe believe this!. Both men pinned each other haha they seem to do everything that matches each other. Looks like Stevens has another tough match at Sharks in a 3 way!. Should be more fun and stuff to do this way.

As we get back from commwercial break, we get the information that instead of Pride next week, EAM will be having a small tribute show, in the memory of Scott Hall.

R.I.P

Tag Team Matchup
FTR (Cash Wheeler & Dash Harwood) Vs Bear Country (Bear Bronson and Bear Boulder)

Actually a solid match from both teams. Good technical, submission moves throughout. Double team action from all. Bear get the win at the end though but FTR look solid.

Pride Champion; Aaron Stevems cut's a promo next, as we was about to get our main event. He's still on the yatch it seems, as is everyone else. He's enjoying himself, as he should do as a champion. He also says that he does not know if he will be in San Juan next Sunday or not. It all depends on the wind and weather. You see, there is benefits of being a champion, and a part of the most " Over " and beloved stable in EAM right now. And he's going to enjoy every second of it....

Good use of the yacht and build up.

Singles Matchup
Odyssey Jones Vs Chad Gable

Fun match from both. Gable with his suplexes while Jones nails some splashes and slams. Back senton also. Gable with an ankle lock but Jones breaks it like nothing. Jones however has seemingly adopted someone that got fired on the PPV’s finisher as his own…POOOOOUNCE…COVER…1…2…3…DONE. Jones picks up the win.

Heavy Machinery Promo ends the show. They talk about the sad fact that Scott Hall passed away, as they would have loved to face The Outsiders in a match for The Pride Tag Team Championships. They then get brutally interrupted... HOLLA! If you HEAR Me! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dm_ptBp9kTg . The show ends with a staredown between Heavy Machinery and The Steiner Brothers (with Rex in their corner) The fans absolutely love it. It seems we are getting this match at Swimming With Sharks....

Awesome. No messing around, goodbye to Hall teased the match we wanted. Maybe in the Quantum…then Steiners out of nowhere. Not sure if Bron is with them or not yet. Should be good.
