Episode #191 - Taped in New York/USA

Show opens with a videopackage of Don Callis, who's interviewing people for the position of co-commentator on Pride. We see many of the people who applied for the position in a quick manner, but are not presented to the one who actually got the job. Not before after the Pride vignette, where Don Callis welcomes everyone to another episode of Pride, and as the camera turns to Callis' right side, we can see who his new co-commentators is! (Joe Rogan) Callus then explains that this episode of Pride will be somehow special, as we have round 3 and 4 in the Pentathlon for the Pride Tag Team Championships to show you, and these matches are pre-taped. Not only that, but a new tag team are debuting tonight, and a very special tag team matchup has been booked for tonights main event. So why are we wasting time by talking? Mandy, take it away!

Big final Pride show. Joe a great announcer so makes sense. Doesn’t know much about wrestling but can learn. Good with submissions and technical stuff though.

Stevens walks out and does his usual shtick, getting booo's from everyone in the audience. He loves it, because in his ears, their booo's are cheers. He then gets brutally interrupted, something he needs to adress, only to have the audience chant " shut the fuck up " to him. Cara Noir's music cranks the arena speakers then, as he is Stevens opponent for tonight.

Singles Matchup
Aaron Stevens Vs Cara Noir

Some entertaining things in this match. Both men look solid and this is the last Pride before the big one so everyone wants to look good. Cara gets the win after Stevens slips up. Both pretty solid though.

GM William Regal explains that the next contest has been taped in beforehand, because the contest could not be contested indoors.

Round 3 In The Pentathlon For The Pride Tag Team Championships
Tractor Wheel Throwing Contest
Heavy Machinery Vs The Briscoe Brothers

Haha here we go next contest between them. Both pretty evenly matched. Otis does much better because of the strength and power. Mark and Jay though pretty good but at the end it’s Otis getting the final tractor throw for the win.

As we get back from commercial break, we are introduced to the new tag team mentioned. Brian Pillman Jr. and Griff Garrison introduces themselves, telling everyone that they are called Varsity Blondes. They talk for a little longer before getting brutally interrupted by The Anti-Fun Police, who's scheduled to be their first opponents.

Tag Team Matchup
Varsity Blondes (Brian Pillman Jr. & Griff Garrison) w/Julia Hart Vs The Anti-Fun Police (Chief Deputy Dunne & Los Federales Santos Jr.)

Nice debut. Added the woman as well. Solid match from the both of them with some comedy. Debuting right before Grandslam as well is big. At the end of the match a nice duel diving combo for the 3 count and win for VB.

Regal is back as we get back from commerials. He explains that the next contest is also taped beforehand, as this next competition would easily have stained the arena forever. It's capture the pig! And the rules are easy. One pig inside a hog-pen. Quickest team to capture it wins!

Round 4 In The Pentathlon For The Pride Tag Team Championships
Capture The Pig!
Heavy Machinery Vs The Briscoe Brothers

Pretty funny all these match types. Heavy look good early on but Briscoes soon come out and need the win. Otis gets tired running and so Tucker has to do most of the work. Jay and Mark leapfrog over each other and manage to trap and grab the pig!. Briscoes win but now it’s 2-2!. What happens now!?

Before our main event we get a Mil Muertes Promo, where James Mitchell and Mil is in the ring and Mitchell talks about how nobody has stepped up to challenge Mil. A wise choice in his opinion, because anyone who would bee foolish enough, would certainly suffer great failure and defeat. In the five years that The Pride Championship has existed, there has never been a champion, the likes of King Muertes! The lights in the arena then suddenly goes out, and music cranks the arena speakers. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6lV2HGLt2-E . When the fans in the arena understands who it is, they give one hell of a pop! The titantron flickers, and out on the stage, Demon paint and all, walks Prince Devitt! The first ever Pride Champion places himself on the stage. He doesn't say anything. Mitchell laughs, telling Devitt that playing mind games with him does not work. As he is the master of mind games. Moahahaha! Suddenly, in a wisp of smoke Devitt vanishes from the stage and is replaced by King Muertes. Mitchell stops laughing then. He turns slowly around to look at the place where King Muertes was just standing. BAAAM! Devitt from out of nowhere puts Mitchell down. It's almost like a horror movie. The lights are still dimmed in the arena. King Muertes runs down the rampway to help out Mitchell, but as he reaches the ring, another puff of smoke, and Devitt disappears. Mil helps Mitchell up in the ring when suddenly Devitt's face appears all over the arena. Thousands of demonic faces looking at Mitchell and The Pride Champion. Then we can hear Devitt's voice ..... " Challenge accepted " Mohahahahaha. Scene cuts...

Wow Demon Devitt vs King MUERTES. Makes perfect sense. Was just an idea but gets it on the card.

Tag Team Matchup
Max Caster & Rich Swann Vs Will Hobbs & Willie Mack

Solid match from all the men involved. Caster buries everyone including his partner with a rap. Mack with a Mack Daddy for a 2. Caster line for a 2 also. At the end of the match Hobbs nails a double Oklahoma Stampede for the 3 count.
