Live from The Hammerstein Ballroom, New York/USA
EAM Promotions are back on a regular TV schedule from today, as most of our wrestlers now are back from a two weeks summer vacation. But the feuds and the ongoing challenges and tournaments are still going, even after a two weeks abscence there is no doubt that tonights show will be as electric as always.
Show opens with a segment from the parking lot, where Beth walks up to Jillian, telling she's so sorry. Jillian says it's ok. It's not like she ever thought she would hold wrestling gold again. It was some fun weeks. Jillian is about to leave, when Beth grabs her arm and tells her they will get those titles back. They are obligated to a re-match. Jillian shrugs, as she don't care anymore. Saying, Guess so. Then leaves Beth alone, walking into the EAM headquarters building. We cut to the Jamboree vignette...
We go to the aren where the commentators tell us about tonights card who will feature three round 3 matches in the ongoing Tv Title Tournament to crown the first ever Tv Champion. The competition are tightening, and it's very exciting at this point. We also get the announcement that Jon Moxley will be defending his Running Mate Championship in tonights main event, as the 28 days rule applies. That and much more. Take it away Melissa! Melissa announces our first matchup if the evning. She's wearing The Primetime Bitch Championship around her waist.
Round 3 Tv Title Tournament Matchup
Tyler Bate Vs Paul London
Fun match from both men. Back and forth action, high flying, signature and finishing moves throughout. They both hit some good spots and high flying but at the end of the match the Airplane spin and Tiger Driver 98 gets the 3 count.
We go backstage where Leah runs into Melina. Leah are sad, but when Melina ask her what the problem is, Leah does not want to talk about it. Melina says if it is about Alexa and those other girls, she's better off without those skanks. Melina then asks if Leah would want a cup of coffee or hot chocolate or something. There is something Melina would really like to talk to Leah about...
Thought Melina is a heel so can’t trust her.
We get a promotional video from our EAM Champion; Velveteen Dream where he's on a blow up animal in a pool, zipping on margaritas. He's well covered, so he's not going to get wet either way. He's laying down with sunglasses on, and on his bare stomach, is the EAM World Heavyweight Championship Title Belt. Dream tell everybody that their concerns are in vain, as he is ok. As a matter of fact, he's never been more ok in his whole life. Only thing is, it's starting to get a little bit boring. You see, it's the same stuff everyday. Waking up whenever. Drinking Margaritas. Smoking Cubans. Eating whatever you want to eat. Not to mention the women. Ah....the women. But....on day 30 it starts to get boring. It's becoming a routine way before day 10. Oh yeah! Anyway, I've been sitting here by myself every night. That is to say. I am rarely alone. A man of my caliber seldom are. But, I am getting off the subject here. It might be the margaritas fault, I don't know. Anyway, I've been sitting here, thinking about who my opponent for Supersplash will be. Because, let's get honest. It cannot be just anyone. After all, we are talking about one of the big six here. Not only that, EAM's second biggest show of the year..... Still, I have got no messages regarding any upcoming title match. Suddenly he gets interrupted as a person who seems like he works on the hotel comes by with Dreams phone, telling him it is now fully charged. Dream gets a bit disturbed by this, forgetting for a couple of second that he's cutting a promo as he struggles with turning the phone on. But in a matter of seconds it's on, and message after message biiips into his phone. He frantically swipes up and down on the phone, reading all the messages. Then he looks up int the camera and says " Oh mY! " then he falls off the blow up animal and into the pool... We go to the arena for our next match of the evening.
Awesome promo and using the summer. Wonder who it is because he is the world champ and nice to see him back at Supersplash.
Tag Team Matchup
Richard Holliday & Alexander Hammerstone Vs Doin' It For Her (Seth Rollins & Jimmy Jacobs)
Solid tag from the both teams. Lots of double teaming, big bumps and high flying action. At the end a slicebread and almost a curb stomp but Hammerstone rolls up Jacobs...1...2...3...WOW!. Huge win for dynasty they are looking at those tag titles while MJF is looking for the tv title.
We cut to backstage where we hook up with Orange Cassidy, who's made himself a name in pretty short time here in EAM Promotions, and actually managed to build himself a big fanbase as well. Despite the fact that he is in the heel faction of Ultraviolent Society. He bumps into Keith Lee, as he's walking with his sunglasses down, minding his own business. He walks staight into Keith's big stomach. He makes an awkward apologize to Keith, saying he's sorry. Keith says " think nothing about it " Then Cassidy spots The Ornate Prime Champion around Keith's shoulder. " Nice strap! I was thinking about getting myself one soon " Keith laughs, telling Cassidy he should, but he better not think he can get this one. Cassidy lifts up his glasses so we can see his eyes and look into Keith's eyes. He's nonchalantly chewing on a gum while telling Keith that nobody tells what Orange Cassidy should do. But then it was not his title he was refering to. He then leaves Keith as we cut back to ringside.
Cassidy spoke!?. He rarely speaks!. But damn Cassidy vs Lee wasn’t expecting that bizarre matchup.
Round 3 Tv Title Tournament Matchup
" The Villain " Marty Scurll Vs Pentagon Jr.
Another match awesome match. A good 15 minute match full of action, big bumps and signature moves. At the end of the match Pentagon nails the Packaged Piledriver...Scurll somehow gets out and fights back. Pentagon is a great solo wrestler too remember. Scurll fights back and finally hits the Skullbreaker for the 3 count and win!. Not many left now.
As we get back from commercial break, we get a promo video in black and white. It's animated almost like a Frank Miller movie. We find ourselves in a dimly lit office where Finn Balor is sitting in a big old fashioned office chair. Opposite in at the desk sits a man that could have been taken out of a silen movie horroro movie from the twenties. With top hat and glasses. He looks like he's over a hundre years old. He speaks with a cackling tone. Asking Finn if that's all, and Finn asuure him it's so. The man get up on his feet and leaves. He's hunchbacked and steady himself on a crotch. In a brief moment of time, Finn is left alone in his study, or what it is. one of the windows are open, and the cold night breeze make the curtains fly. Suddenly there is a lightning bolt. The whole room flickers. In a inch of a second, we can see a figure right beside Finn. It dissapears. Lightning strikes again, and the figure appears in a blink of the eye. " The Villain " Marty Scurll. Finn turns around, but there is no one there. Then we can hear a voice-over, almost as it is in Finn's head. " It's time to bury all the demons Finn. Once and for all! Then suddenly, other voices comes, and we can suddenly not hear anyone over the other, it's total chaos. Finn takes to his head and screams before thundering his forehead at the desk. Everything goes black.... We cut to the arena for our next matchup.
Very clever Sin City style. I guess Balor/Scurll isn’t over.
Because Nick and Matt fought to a time limit draw last time, and the fact that Nakamura got himsef FDqed earlier in the tournament, the board of directors has decided to let both Nick and Matt proceed to round three in the tournament. But the board also decided that they would face each other again in round three, because there are people who wants to see how thay fare as single competitors as well as a tag team. Tonights match will have a time limit, but if no winner has been declared by then, the winner will be declared by points. And to make it a bit more interesting, so it won't be so easy for either brother to do all their jumps and leaps, tonights match will be a strap-match.
I guess they weren’t both double eliminated after all.
Strap Match - Round 3 Tv Title Tournament Matchup
Nick Buck Vs Matt Buck
Forcing them to fight again makes sense but in a team like this they should be equal. Both are hesitant at first but decide not to use the strap at all!. They want to wrestle each other. Back and forth and good high flying bumps but they keep on reversing each other’s moves. Superkicks blocked. 450/SSP/moonsaults to each other but at the end of the match once again they both double SUPERKICK each other then Matt falls on top of Nick.....1...2...3..DONE!. Matt has officially advanced!. Could end up being Scurll vs Matt soon.
As we go back from commercial break, we go to ringside where we get a segment with the NEW EAM Womens Tag Team Champions, where Sara shoots about how nice it is when justice are being served. She then continues to put down Jillian Hall, calling her skank and crackwhore and whatnot. She also puts down Beth Phoenix who surely will have to find herself a new broadcast partner, as Sara will be occupied being EAM Womens Tag Team Champion! She then hands the microphone over to AJ who talks about how good it is to be back, something she never thought she would do. And how she missed it. Gawd! She had no idea. But she was also reminded about one thing she really didn't miss. The afwul fans! This gets major booo's from the audience, but AJ tells them to shut up and respect her, as she is your new EAM Womens Tag Team Champion! Music then suddenly cranks the arena speaker, and out on the stage walks Tessa Blanchard and Toni Storm. They have been on a roll lately, and are now surely closing in on those tag team straps. They make their way down the rampway, getting a good cheer from the audience as they venture down to ringside and gets inside the ring. Tessa does the talking telling Beth and AJ to skiddadle and let the young ones take care of business. She continue on about how she and Toni has been dominant in the womens divison for quite some time, and they have not had a title match since Fight For Glory. AJ Lee counters, by saying maybe they aint as good as they think they are then? This agitates Toni, but Tessa holds her back, keeping her calm. AJ is the one that talks now, and she says she might have passed 30, but she has no problems wiping the floor with Tessas butterface. Tessa is the one who goes for the attack now, but Toni stops her. Sara also goes in between. She says it seems like Tessa and Toni are quite determined. It's nice to see there are a few people left in this division there might be worthwhile beating still. She then, on behald of both herself and AJ, gives the girls a titlematch, at this weeks Spotlight! With this announcement we cut to a promotional video for the upcoming PPV which is one of the so called Big Six, Supersplash. It's will be the 9th installment of EAM's summerPPV, and this time it will be a two nights spectacular, from The United Arab Emirates. We then get the announcement that the traditional womens battle royale match for a contract and a title match at Swimming With Sharks will return this year. But we also get the announcement that the week before they go to UAM, EAM will host a supershow live from Cannes in France, as a part of this years film festival. We then cut back to the arena for our main event of the evening, that we know will be Jon Moxley defending his Running Mate Championship, because he went over the 28 days rule. But against who, we don't know yet. And neither does Jon. Moxley's music cranks the arena speakers and Moxley walks out on the stage all alone. None of the members of Ultraviolent Society are out here with him. Moxley walk determined down the rampway and makes his way into the ring where he wastes no time. He gestures for a microphone and gets one, cutting straight to the chase, as he says, he's got an appointment, so let's get this over with. (It's the funny side of Moxley tonight, as he's more of a tweener than a heel) nothing happens and this makes Moxley impatient. He makes a point about it's not him that made up this rule for the strap, so let's get this show going. Who will his opponent be? Music then cranks the arena speakers. The audience goes wild, but Moxley's face almost melts when he understand who it is who just walked out on the stage. The Eagle just landed, and for once, Moxley seems concerned!
Tag match booked. Think a tag turmoil for the women’s titles at Supersplash could work. Wouldn’t call Moxley a heel really. More faces same with Cassidy and whatever Tornado is doing. Maybe Tornado/Cassidy could become a team. Also don’t think Sara/AJ are heel. Guess they just turned.
Running Mate Championship Matchup
Jon Moxley (c) Vs Khabib Nurmagomedov
As the bell rings, Moxley still holds the Running Mate Championship in his hands. Before Khabib manages to react and almost before the third bell strike, Moxley charges for Khabib with the title hin his hands. He connects! Khabib goes down, but the referee signals to the bellkeeper who once again strikes the bell. Melissa then announce to everyone in attendance that the winner of this match, due to a Disqualification; Khabib! But because the title cannot change hands due to DQ's, still your Running Mate Champion; Jon Moxley! Khabib gets back on his feet and is angry as fu**, but Moxley wisely rolls out of the ring and makes it up the ramp in fast paced walks. Khabib comes after him, but when he reaches the stage, Moxley's entourage walks out on the stage and circles around him. The show ends with this, as Khabib is not stupid, so he does not attack five other men.
Hmm not a huge fan of this. Moxley wouldn’t do something like this he hasn’t been booked as a heel recently and too early for Khabib in my opinion and he’s on Pride. Doesn’t need a DQ loss in his second match and kind of makes them both look like goofs. But MOX is still champ.
