Episode #194 - Taped in New York/USA
Show opens with Don Callis & Joe Rogan welcoming us to another episode of Pride, and tonight is a special night indeed, because tonights main event might just be the biggest main event in Pride's history. What star power is concerned anyway, as all the four ECW All-Star teams will be facing each other in a 8-Man Tag Team Matchup tonight, and to make them feel more like home, ANYTHING GOES! As we know, one of those teams will be facing Heavy Machinery for The Pride Tag Team Titles at the upcoming Cyberslam PPV in San Jose. But it's up to the fans who it will be. Let tonights main event be a chance for all eight to prove themselves and show themselves off to the Pride audience. But before that, we have to other matches for you Pride fans. So Mandy, Take it away!
Don’t know about the biggest but big for sure. Old ECW style.
Tag Team Matchup
Varsity Blondes (Brian Pillman Jr. & Griff Garrison) Vs Besties In The World (Davey Vega & Mat Fitchett)
Hart at ringside trying to help at times. More back and forth action from both teams. Besties have not really done much in EAM. At the end of the match Blondes get the win after a diving double combo.
As we get back from commercial break Will Hobbs is in the ring calling out Mil Muertes. But instead of Mil it's Mack and Swann that comes out. All three starts to arguing, with both Mack and Swann actually agreeing that Hobbs is the problem, as that match at Fight For Glory was originally only gonna be Mack Vs Swann! It all culminates down to general manager William Regal making his way out on the stage interrupting the three instigators. He tells Hobbs that he will get a title shot against Mil, next week! And for what Mack and Swann is concerned, they will also have a match next week, against each other. But this time, the loser will have to pack his bags and leave!
We get a promo from Mil Muertes next, but it's Mitchell who's doing all the talking offcourse. He first talks about the match against Marty at Fight For Glory, and alltough it was unorthodox, and they played on Marty's turf so to say, Mil was victorious in the end. How could anyone even doubt it? And now this Hobbs has come forth and issued a challenge?! Humph.....Let him come. He will suffer the same fate as all the others. Mil will crush him like he did to Marty. Like a bug!
Big stakes for sure. Time for one to leave. Overdue honestly.
Singles Matchup
Max Caster Vs Travis Banks
Caster comes out cutting his usual promo. This time burying Australia and Travis. THEY CALL YOU TRAVIS BANKS BUT AFTER TONIGHT YOU’LL BE TRAVIS WANKS. I’M GONNA DO TO YOU WHAT HITLER DID TO THE JEWS AND MAKE YOU THE FINAL SOLUTION!. Back and forth action and more action. Banks with a springboard elbow. At the end Cast Out for the 3 count and win.
We get a promo from Aaron Stevens next, as he has hogged the limelight as usual, taking up space in the ring as we are waiting for our main event. He talks about Cyberslam and his opponent for that PPV. He gotta admit, last time he checked, not many people had logged in and voted. Don't you wanna see your favorite wrestler rassle? He goes on, talking about how disappointed he is of his fans, and how he expected more from them. After all, think of all the thinks he have done for them. Major booo's from the audience. Log on that page and vote for his opponent! Is that to much to ask? Then suddenly, it's like Aaron gets a brilliant idea. Almost like a lightbulb gets lit above his head as in the cartoons. Aaron suddenly uses a whole different strategy. Aaron is aware that not ALL people like him. And some of them happens to be wrestling fans. So if you want to see Aaron gets squashed at Cyberslam, why not log in on EAM's website and vote on who it should be? Suddenly the people in audience starts to cheer him. Aaron smiles, very proud of himself. Then...music cranks the arena speakers, and gets interrupted. A huge black man walks out on the stage. He looks terrifying! Aaron does not know where he should go as the huge man makes his way down the rampway. The commentators even says they don't know who this man is. Aaron leaves the ring and jumps the barricade, leaving trough the audience in a quick fashion. The big man enters the ring, where he poses, then he points at Aaron who has made his way to the exit.. We can see from Aaron's expression that he's scared senseless.....
Hmm wonder who it is. Wonder if he will be the opponent or someone else by the fans.
8-Man Tag Team Matchup
Dudley Boyz Vs F.B.I Vs BWO Vs THE UNHOLY ALLIANCE!
Big main event here. Just a complete and utter mess a big ECW star brawl. Back-and-forth action, weapons, chairs the ringbell, steel steps, big highflying moves outside of the ring and signature finishing moves also. Shame there’s no New Jack because it would be perfect for him. Tajiri with kicks. Dudleyz with the Death Drop and 3D. More action before the end of the match comes. ACID DROP THROUGH A TABLE BY SPIKE DUDLEY. DEVON GET THE TABLES. BAAAAM BUBBA BOMB THROUGH THE TABLE BY BUBBA TO MIKEY…COVER…1…2…3!!!. IT’S OVER. Dudleyz look the best going into the PPV but it doesn’t mean they are the odds on favorite!.
As the show is about to end, we once again get the charging cellphone symbol. It has now reached 25%, and still charging...
Hmm no idea but it’s one slow phone...
