Episode #150 - Taped in New York/USA


Show starts with an announcement regarding the upcoming PRIDE PPV. Even though he might have other things bothering him right now, he will have to defend the Pride title on the Pride PPV, it's just how it works. And since WALTER has beaten every competition he's met in the ring, the general manager of Pride, Drake Younger thought, why not put WALTER in a match against someone he's never competed against? Someone who wants to prove himself. Someone who's unpredictable. Someone who's just arrived here in Pride? WALTER's opponent for the PPV will be (as the rumors have been saying) Killer Kross! It seems like everyone was impressed by his debut. So impressed in fact that he is given a title shot in his second ever match. That's historical right there. But not only that. He might write himself into the EAM history books if he beats WALTER! We cut to the Pride vignette...

Awesome booked.

Singles Matchup - Good Friends, Better Enemies!
Willie Mack Vs Rich Swann

Lot of comedy in this one. Back and forth spots from the both of them. High flying, signature, finishing moves and big bumps. Swann with a dive and Mack with a stunner and rock bottom for the 3 count. Swann looked good though.

We see a video package of Heavy Machinery's career in EAM from their debut to now. It might not be a very long one yet, but surely they have made an impression on everyone. The fans and opponents alike. And now they are the Pride Tag Team Champions. But with those belts comes great responsibility, and the ability to fight off any competitor. If not, the straps will be lost to better and more suitable individuals. Broserweights also wants to prove that they are the next big thing in professional wrestling. And what better way to prove it than to grab those tag team straps from a pair of very green champions? Both teams will have to pull of their bests to accomplish their different tasks.... We also get the announcement that several individuals will be granted the chance to move on from PRIDE to the main Jamboree roster at the PPV. A chance to be taken for sure if you are given it.. We then cut back to the arena and our next match of the evening.

Wonder if a battle royal will happen normally does on these type of shows for a contract.

Singles Matchup
Kazuchika Okada Vs Drew McIntyre

Solid hard hitting contest between the both of them. Back and forth, hard strong style bumps and signature moves. With some finishing moves a dropkick and rainmaker but at the end of the match Drew claymore kick gets the 3 count.

We then get another promotional video. This time from Tripp Cassidy and Mick Moretti, as they responds to the tomfoolery by Sonny Defarge and Cornelius Crummels last week. They say they don't care what the turf or the terms are. They just want to get their hands on Defarge and Crummels. Laughter again as the lights goes out and they once again find themselves in utter darkness. The voices of Sonny and Cornelius once again seemingly comes from anywhere at this point. They once remind Tripp and Mick about who the ones in demand are. Weird carnival music suddenly appears. then, suddenly light. Lightning speed fast lights. What is going on? We hear moaning and thuds. Then the lights gets back on. Tripp Cassidy and Mick Moretti are out cold on the floor. Over them stands Sonny Defarge and Cornelius Crummels. They laugh an evil laughter. Then they announce that at " Three Steel Steps To Heaven " they four of them will face off in the first ever Lights Out Match! We go to commercial break after this announcement. It seems like Sonny and Cornelius really wants to put their words to actions and make a name of themselves here on PRIDE.

Hmm interesting and strange.

Tag Team Matchup
Sami Zayn & Kevin Owens Vs Aero Star & Drago

Two matches and feuds coming together merging. Double teaming big spots, back and forth action, high flying and signature spots. Some triple a moves as well but at the end of the match Zayn with a Blue Thunder Driver while Owens nails a Packaged Piledriver for the 3 count.
