EAM Promotions - Season 17

[TKO]

The show starts with Bryan and Nigel announcing that next week, there will be wrestling on both monday, friday and saturday! As EAM are hosting another edition of Saturday Night Showcase, from Baltimore, the night before Fight For Glory! Not only that, tonights main event will feature a match only done once before, as Danhausen has very specially asked the general manager to be allowed to face Orange Cassidy in a " Hands in Your Pockets, Orange Deathmatch " We've got a jampacked card for you tonight, so let's waste no time. Melissa, take it away!

Melissa gets interrupted however, as the titantron starts to flicker, and we once again see MJF on the beach. He says he's so sorry for not being there, as he understands the ratings fall when he's not present. But you see, he's not going to bust his ass working second-rated PPV's or TV shows. Oh no! He's the EAM Champion, and the power lies with him. If you think you can just step up and demand a title match, you have another thing coming for you. There are loads of minor, mid-card titles for you in EAM, so please don't bother me if you don't have anything good to show. Until then, MJF out....

Good idea, actually have the world title maybe be part time for a while and let other titles grow like Brock or coconut head did/do. It would be funny if Stevens just sat up in the sand or something behind him one week.

Tag Team Matchup
Triple C & AJ Styles Vs Bear Country (Boulder & Bronson)

Pretty solid tagteam match between both teams. I completely forgot about Bear country actually, but it is Claudio and AJ getting the win and building their match up to the pay-per-view.

We get a promotional video for the upcoming Fight For Glory PPV in Baltimore, and the announcement that there will be a ROH World Heavyweight Championship match taking place at the event, and the match will be Eddie Kingston (c) Vs mark Briscoe!

Nice makes sense.

Singles Matchup
Rex Steiner Vs Kota Ibushi

Awesome match here, both men look really good. Kota is his toughest challenge yet a lot of highflying moves, but at the end of the match Rex catches Kota with the Frankenstein of the top rope for the 3 count.

As we get back from commercial break we get a promo from The Leader of The Bullet Club, Prince Devitt. He's sitting on a black throne in a dimly lit room. On his head, he's wearing a generic luchador mask. With a theatric gesture he takes it off, then he cut's a promo in spanish, talking about hiding behind masks, about fear, and no fear. He can guarantee that after Devitt's demon(s) are done with Pentagon Jr. he will no doubt know the word fear....

I had no idea, an Irishman could speak Spanish but could be a good match.

Tag Team Matchup
Will Ospreay & Rey Fenix Vs Besties In The World (Davey Vega & Mat Fitchett)

The Former tagteam champions get the win obviously building up to the big tag match at the pay-per-view. After the match Will and Rey climb a ladder together and dive off onto Besties in the world!.

Before our main event we cut to the backstage area where we hook up with general manager of Jamboree; Randy Orton. He's on his way to his office, clearly bothered by something when he once again bumps into Moxley. Jon asks Randy what's up, and Randy, who's already a bit agitated, asks when Jon became so nice all of a sudden, not to mention bothering about Randy's well being. Jon then once again gets into the fact that they both are veterans of this company. Legends. Hell, Randy is even in the HOF for Pete's sake. Orton then assures Jon that he will be inducted eventually, but Jon then says, it was not what he was getting at anyway, but it sure would be nice to be recognized what what he's done for this company. Once again, he reminds Randy about the fact that both of them have done everything really, except for... Randy interrupts him and says he knows. Actually, one of his problems right now concerns the tag team division. There are so many good teams on the roster right now, and everyone deserves a shot at the titles. Jon then suggest, why not throw everyone in the match then? Make it chaotic as hell. You know the fans loves those sort of matches once in a while. Hell, aint the PPV even supposed to be some sort of ROH tribute? As from Baltimore and everything? Randy says yes, and Jon then suggest, why not make it a Ladder War? Orton becomes silent for a couple of seconds, then he tells Jon, he might be up to something. He thanx Jon then, and as he's about to leave, he turns around and says he will concider Jon's offer. Seriously.... We then cut back to ringside for tonights main event, that was announced at the start of the show.

Good timing with the ladder spot then, awesome and should be a good match Ladder War is obviously a staple of ROH history. I wonder if Moxley could fight Randy and if he wins, he gets inducted into the Hall of Fame but also Mox and Randy Orton, as the co general managers could work that would be funny like an odd couple.

Hands In Your Pockets, Orange Deathmatch
Orange Cassidy Vs Danhausen

What the hell is this? I guess both wrestlers have to wrestle with their hands in their pockets hahaha. Obviously, a comedy magic back-and-forth from both the orange punch with his shoulder. That is not enough for the win at the end of the match. Danhausen seemingly forms new ghost arms and nails a german bridge for a 3 count!. Then his arms, seemingly just disappear. What the hell was that magic?. We close the show with Dan walking up the ramp way and a couple of prosthetic arms fall out of his shirt.
