EAM Promotions - Season 17

[TKO]

A EAM Supershow, Live from Hammerstein Ballroom, New York


Battles are fought on many different battleground. Some are physical. Some are mental battlegrounds.
The similarity between them are that there is always a loser.

But in time, losers can be winners...


The show opens in a jampacked Hammerstein Ballroom. The tension in the arena tonight could easily have been cut with a knife. So much happened last night, and Bryan and Nigel on commentary have problems covering it all. They are anyways interrupted when music cranks the arena speakers and the music of EAM World Heavyweight Champion; MJF, cranks the arena speakers, to massive booo's offcourse from the people in attendance. He slowly makes his way down to the ring, dressed in a dapper suit, carrying the EAM Championship casually over his left shoulder. (MJF uses every opportunity to mock EAM and their fans, as every vivid EAM fan knows that there is a tradition of holding the EAM title over your right shoulder, not your left. It's as MJF mocks the tradition)

MJF makes his way inside the ring, and despite massive booo's from the whole arena, he cuts a promo like only he can. Talking about things like the fact that they would not be here if it wasnt for him etc. He might stand alone at this point, but he has proved over and over again that he does not need anyone's help. Just look at where he stands! At the top of the freaking pyramid, holding the grandest prize in all of professional wrestling, and there is nobody in the world that can touch him! Music cranks the arena speakers, interrupting him, and what comes next is a moment of real surrealism. The audience does not recognize the music right away, but when a person walks out on the stage and the titantron flickers, there is a massive pop from the audience. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mgQ0737ThkM . What is happening here? Where in holy hell did this come from? MJF looks as baffled as everyone else. DDP makes his way down to the ring, almost strutting, with a big smirk on his face. He makes his way into the ring and gestures for a microphone. He starts by telling everyone, but especially MJF, not to get any hopes up, as he is not here to challenge for MJF's title or something like that. Instead, he is here driven by a personal vendetta, and, he enjoyed interrupting MJF, like everyone else. He the continue, telling MJF that he should go and prepare for his upcoming title match instead of standing here, pissing everyone off. MJF then replies, by calling DDP Grandpa, that he has been EAM champion for over a year, and as he so clearly stated before DDP interrpted him, there is nobody even remotely near him. Least of all, a fat hog like Otis. Why would he even waste a second by thinking of it? But by all means, can Jeff please go on, so MJF can continue telling everyone how worthless they are. DDP says he will make it short, and it might seem strange to everyone right now, but it will make sense, just trust him on this. As some of you might know, he is pretty famous for a special wrestling move, someone actually says he's the greatest ever to do it. Some disagree. And that's why he's here, in a way. You see, in 3 weeks, EAM will be in Philadelphia, for a PPV named " Cutting The Ace ", what does this have to do about anything you might ask? I can tell you, it has everything to do with the fact. Who's from Philadelphia, famous or the very same move. Somebody even might call him the inventer. Yes, you guessed it right, none other than Johnny Ace himself, John Laurinaitis. And they never ever met in the ring. DDP says it's about time they settle it now! DDP might soon be 70, but Johnny Ace are only in his early 60's. So if he's got the guts. He puts down the challenge right here, right now! In 3 weeks, in Philadelphia, DDP Vs Johnny Ace, to settle is straight once and for all. And he can assure the fans that if Johnny accepts, he promises that he wont bore them with a slow match where nothing happens. Oh no, it will be over before you know it! And with that said, he thanx the audience for their attention, and hands the microphone back to a very annoyed MJF. In fact, he is so annoyed that he just leaves the ring and makes his way up the rampway. As he reaches the stage he gets confronted by Eli Drake who walks out from the back. There is a stare-down between the two of them as we cut to the shows vignette. The fans are still cheering DDP and his appearence...

As we get after the vignette, we not only learn that tonights main event will be a non-title matc between MJF and Eli Drake, there will also be 2 title matches, not to mention that since tonight is St. Patrick's Day, wer are having ourselves a St. Patrick's Day Massacre Matchup! But there is more, as there will in 3 weeks be a double PPV, as EAM are running the show " Cutting The Ace " from Philadelphia, saturday in 3 weeks. But will also be in Trenton, New Jersey the day after, on sunday, for the 6th ever Gauntlet Roulette PPV, but this time, it will be for The EAM Tag Team Championships! But now, it's time for the first match of the evening, which will be a 8-Women tag team matchup, between girls with some history between each other.

8-Women Tag Team Matchup
Skye Blue & Leyla Hirsch Vs Natalia Markova & Masha Slamovich Vs
Kamille & Kris Statlander Vs Raquel González & Taya Valkyrie

Big opening segment and a surprise appearance from DDP pretty interesting. I guess if they have a match I think Johnny Ace has some sort of illness and mental disability and it’s kind of funny with all the controversy lately but I guess it could work. It’s typical heel mentality. Some good matches planned for tonight and the Gauntlet Roulette is one of my favourite PPV’s. Back-and-forth match from all the women involved lots of signature and finishing moves. Different styles, but at the end of the match, it’s a UFO and a power bomb from Kamille that gets the win and pinfall on Masha.

As we get back from commercial break we go back to the ring where Otis and Tucker is standing together with chairman Emil A. a sentimental segment, as Emil A. announces that The Pride Tag Team Championship titles are officially retired, but before that, we get a flashback video with all the highlights of Heavy Machinery's amazing reign as tag team champions. A feat that's hard to replicate. The segment are ruined however, as The Young Bucks sees their right to crash the party. They make their way down to the ring to massive booo's, loving every second of it. Emil A. does not look impressed, even though we do know that Bucks are his favorite tag team. Bucks however takes another direction than usual, so instead of mocking Otis and Tucker directly, they indirectly do it, by congratulating them etc. but in a very heelish fashion. But before things gets out of hand, the man in charge of the whole company takes to the mic and says it's actually pretty fitting that they showed up right now, as he was about to announce a couple of things. As you all saw earlier, we are hosting a double PPV in 3 weeks, where at one of them, Otis will be facing MJF for the EAM World Heavyweight Championship, but the second ppv that weekend will be the 6th ever Gauntlet Roulette, and as announced earlier, it will be for The EAM Tag Team Championships. This means that Nick and Matt will have to survive a whole series of matches to remain champions at the end of the night. To make things more interesting, Emil A. says that the first match of the gauntlet will be Young Bucks Vs Heavy Machinery! This gets a massive pop from the audience offcourse, and even though Bucks are not impressed, they kinda walked into this themselves. But Emil A. is not finished. He says to make it even more interesting, he is willing to give Otis and Tucker not just one chane, but two chances, if they don't find themselves champions in the final matchup offcourse. But otherwise, the last matchup of the gauntlet will be whoever is champions at the point against Heavy Machinery! Another big pop, and Bucks understand that they have lost this battle, so they actually leave the ring with nothing more to say, as they understand that their championship titles are at peril no doubt. We then cut to a promotional video with the fans still cheering Otis and Tucker in the ring, who shakes hands with the boss.

We get a promotional video featuring The Leader of The Bullet Club; Prince Devitt. A guy who's been on a roll as of late, and there is no doubt that he already has had a impactfult career in EAM. We get some flashbacks from older times, all the stuff that made Devitt the impactful person he is today. Not only loved and offcourse hated by fans, but also respected in the locker room. His legacy is far from over, and in 3 weeks, he might be able to carve another milestone, as he will be facing Triple C for The Ornate Prime Championship! A title belt that Devitt has never held.....yet.....

Singles Matchup
AJ Styles Vs Wardlow

An interesting twist in the tale should be an interesting and fun gauntlet match. Wonder what will happen and Prince has kind of fell off recently and that would be interesting if he won the title for the first time. Back-and-forth match from both men. Typical styles that both of them use, but at the end of the match it is AJ Styles, with a very rare spiral tap that gets him the pin.

- After the matchup, back at the gorilla position, Styles bumps into Danhausen, who's been watching the match from there. He asks Styles how he managed to become so phenomenal, and if it can be learned in some way. He then goes on a ramble, telling Styles that he is on a quest, trying to learn everything this wonderful sport has to offer, from the small things, to the big things. But most importantly, to be remembered. To become a legend. To become Phenomenal!

EAM Television Championship Matchup
WALTER (c) Vs " Speedball " Mike Bailey

Pretty good promo backstage, and that would be an interesting combination or even tagteam, Danhausen and AJ Styles. Best match of the night right now, very quick back-and-forth fast action. Speedball almost gets the win, but obviously it’s just not enough after three devastating power bombs and then a choke out with a chicken wing as he retains the title.

As we get back from commercial, Billie and Peyton is already in the ring cutting a promo. This goes on in vintage fashion, as they offcourse are disgusted by all the other women on the roster, especially Jax and Piper. Just think about it everyone. They are the face of the womens tag team division, we can't have that right? They don't get more time to mock the champions, at least not right away, as Jax and Piper's music cranks the arena speakers, as our next matchup is about to happen, and by looking on Jax and Piper's faces, they are not happy with Billie and Peyton's mocking attitude at all, and are going to make an example of them once and for all.

EAM Womens Tag Team Championships Matchup
Samoan Scotch (Nia Jax & Piper Niven) (c) Vs IIconics (Billie Kay & Peyton Royce)

A complete and utter slaughter of a match. Samoan Scotch destroy the IIconic’s in three minutes, a power bomb and a splash off the top rope combination gets the pin. More carnage after the match as they spear both of them through two barricades. D.F.W.S.S is on their new shirts.

We cut to the backstage area where we can see Montez Ford knocking on the office door of GM Randy Orton before entering. The camera then turns and we see down a gloomy lit corridor. Smoke coveres the floor. And in the dark, we can see the silhouette of a dark figure. Just standing there, observing.... Not even Danhausen notices the presence as he walks right by. Suddenly, the eyes of the figure starts to glow, a faint green, and we can clearly hear him breathe, with horrible rasping and grating noise... We cut back to the arena for our next matchup, which is a very anticipated one.

I’m a big fan of Montez Ford. I have no idea what this is about. Also you shouldn’t shy away from doing storylines about racism, sexism, Islamophobia, homophobia, antisemitism, transphobia et cetera get a little bit more extreme I don’t care take it to the edge of extremities.

St. Patrick's Day Massacre Matchup
Becky Lynch Vs Session Moth Martina

Becky Lynch gets the win after a pretty simple, basic back-and-forth match with a lot of weapons involved. A lot of green painted weapons. A Becky destroyer on four steel chairs and four steel trash cans which are green which gets the three count.

We have reached our main event of the evening, and as we get back from commercial break, MJF is already in the ring, and one again, trying to cut a promo, telling everyone how they are sheep, how stupid everyone around him is. He is surrounded by idiots and incompetent people, but remember this, you might think of MJF as a fool. But if so, he is the king of all of you! His rambling once again gets interrupted, thankfully for everyone in attendance that is not a MJF supporter offcourse, as Eli Drake's music cranks the arena speakers. There is no doubt who the audience prefer of these two men, that's for sure. Drake makes his way down the ramp and into the ring, and MJF says that he does not really see any reason for him to fight Eli tonight. There is nothing at stake, so why bother. He could just walk out of it right now... Eli then takes the microphone and tells MJF that if he does, he does exactly what everyone expects of him, because then he is a coward. If he really wants to prove how wrong they are, and how stupid they are. Prove them wrong! Fight me, right here, right now! Eli does not care if it's a title match or not. Beating MJF's face in and getting cheered for it by all those fans is prize enough for him! MJF understand that he is cornered. That he can't back out of this now, as Eli is right. What MJF needs to do is to make a statement. To prove everyone that they should have listened to him all along. He grabs a better hold of the EAM Championship and swings it at Eli's face. The impact is hard and Eli goes down. MJF demands the bellkeeper to ring the bell, before making the cover.

Singles Matchup (Non-Title)
MJF Vs Eli Drake

A big start to this match. As MJF is about to make the cover…BAAANG YO IT’S ME IT’S ME IT’S DDP. DDP appears on the stage which distracts MJF. WAIT A MINUTE. ELI MANAGES TO BARELY ROLL UP MJF…1…2…3…!!!. WHAAAT. HOLY SHIT. What a shocker. Eli just pinned the World Champion!. That might be one of the biggest upsets in EAM history!!!. Hahaha. Eli rolls out the ring as MJF is losing it on everyone. He goes around the ringside area to beat down Eli but before he does DDP gets in his way and face. We have a stare down and a face-off between the both of them as we cut away. Wow what a shocking way to end this show!.
