Live from The Hammerstein Ballroom, New York/USA
We go straight to ringside where the newecomer on the Jamboree brand are gathered in the ring as Orton walks out on the stage and down the ramp. He gets into the ring and welcomes everyone to Jamboree. He's sure they will be a great addition to the roster, and he wants them to know that his office door is always open. Suddenly music cranks the arena speakers. Shawn Michaels, Keith Lee and The Lucha Bros walks out on the stage. Shawn carries a microphone. He also welcomes the newcomers to Jamboree, and he then cut's straight to the chase. There is always nice to see that this business has some great young up and comers to take over, when the time is right. Shawn is serious now, it's not a side we see from him very often. He wants to make perfectly clear to everyone, and especially the newcomers that they are the top of the food-chain around here, and they better remember it. This is not the bush leagues anymore. This is the big leagues. Welcome to Jamboree! Orton then interrupts everyone and wants to make it perfectly clear to everyone, even to HBK and the other champions, that HE is the one in charge around here. And, since everyone is out here tonight. And since everyone seems in perfect condition to wrestle, why don't the champions put their money where their mouth is, and prove why they are the top of the food chain around here? I am pretty sure the fans would love to see the newcomers debut as well. So that's what we are going to do. Later tonight, Lucha Bros will face War Raiders. Keith Lee will face off against Dijakovic. Shawn will face off against Drew McIntyre, and I am sure I can find a couple of fitting opponents for Thatcher and Ospreay. And...boys.....No shenanigans. As you said Shawn, this is the big leagues. We cut to the Jamboree vignette.
The commentators tells us that tonights opening bout will be for the EAM Television Title. MJF as we knw have chickened out of every title match he's been in since he won the title and become the first ever television champion in EAM history. Will Adam Cole be able to take the title from MJF? Or will MJF once again find a way to leave the match as champion?
Tv Title Matchup
MJF (c) Vs Adam Cole
Lot of matches going on and good giving young and new the chance. Solid 15 minute match from both men in this one. Back and forth from the both of them. Some high flying, signature, finishing moves and big spots. Cole with superkicks and a Panama Sunrise but at the end the Friedman Fall for a nice cool clean cut 3 count pin. MJF celebrates his victory as we cut away.
We see a video of Emil A. and Mickie on vacation. They are in a desert country somewhere and in a city mostly made out of white marble and gold. We see some highlights from their trip, and after a while it seems like they are in Turkmenistan. As photos are shown of known landmarks and special places like The Door To Hell. It all seems like a nice trip, until they are going home... At the airport, something is amiss, and they are not allowed to board the plane they was supposed to leave to home with. Some language barriers makes it even more difficult, and the situation turns out to be somewhat of a small catastrophe. After a while, seemingly pretty important men in suits and sunglasses appears and they have no other choice than to follow them into a black car outside the airport. The car drives away and the video ends. What is going on? Have someone kidnapped the chairman of EAM and his wife? The camera cut's and the next scene opens. Emil A. and Mickie are sitting on chairs opposite a big desk. On the other side of the desk sits a man, dressed in a dark blue suit. He has pitch-black hair and a big smile. He introduce himself as Gurbanguly Berdimuhammedov, and he is The President of Turkmenistan. He does not want to waste their time further, and starts by apologizing for them not making their flight. But he will make assure they will come safe home right after this conversation. The reason why he summoned them is because he wants them to put up a big wrestling show here in Turkmenistan. He has always been fascinated by the world of pro wrestling, but you see, it's not well known in his country. But, he knows EAM is the greatest wrestling promotion in the world, capable of putting up such a show. And he is willing to pay good money for it. Emil A. says he would be honored to do such a thing. And it would not be about the money. As that was not the original intention when he founded EAM Promotion, almost 15 years ago. He then tell the president that he can make sure it happens, it he would make the arrangements for the arena. He will make a few calls and send some e-mails to make it happen. He then asks how long time he has to arrange it. The president says, 3 weeks. Emil A. smiles and says; " No problem, mister president " The president smiles, laughs then tell Emil A. to say Gurbanguly, as they are all friends here... Then he says, there is a couple of names he really would want to be a part of the show, other than that, he is sure Emil A. is more than capable to put up a amazing show. Emi A. then asks what names he did have in mind. When he is told, he looks at Mickie and says, " that might be a small problem " the president then reminds them they have 3 weeks. He is sure they can arrange something during that time....
Haha feels like a mafia movie. Like a russian hit. Like Saudi Arabia deal almost like for money. Wonder if he thinks Benoit or Eddie are still alive or Yokozuna or Savage like Saudi did. Probably end up buying EAM.
As we get back to the arena, the commentators comment on the recent video and inform us that what we saw is true, as they have got words from the chairman that the next EAM PPV, will indeed take place in Turkmenistan! And as the word says, it will be the second event under the CrissCross Collision name! The PPV that was suppose to happen just once in history, is back! As we remember from the last PPV, it has many cross-promotional matches with wrestlers not on the EAM roster. Will this also be true for this event? Guess we'll just have to wait and see.
Tag Team Matchup
Timothy Thatcher & Will Ospreay Vs reDragon (Kyle O'Reilly & Bobby Fish)
Fun hard hitting strong style tag match from both teams. They were drafted and this is their first match. Dragon look good as well. Some high flying but at the end of the match as they try to beat a big team to make a name for themselves. WILL WITH A 630 SENTON TO KYLE...1...2...3...IT’S ALL OVER!. Wow huge win for Thatcher and Will!.
We get another promotional video for the upcoming PPV which full name are The CrissCross Collision 2 - The Tussle In Turkmenistan. Three matches are already booked for the event, and as we now have confirmed, the event will include wrestlers not on the EAM roster. The Bhangra Knights (Darrell Allen & RJ Singh) will face off against father and son Luke & PJ Hawx. The Englishman Ruffneck will face off against fellow Englishman Dave Mastiff. That will surely be a hard-hitting match. And the third match so far confirmed for the event will be Dave Finlay III taking on Brian Pillman Jr.! This already looks like a pretty good PPV.
Very interesting and strange PPV. I guess it’s gonna be weird though since where it’s at.
Tag Team Matchup (Non-Title)
The Lucha Bros (Pentagon Jr. & Rey Fenix) Vs War Raiders (Hanson & Ray Rowe)
Back and forth action from the both teams. A solid near 20 minute match and again Raiders want to get that title shot and if they win then surely they’d get it. Raider Bomb for a close 2. VIKING EXPERIENCE...1...2...KICK OUT. Raiders are getting close but at the end of the match Packaged Piledriver to Rowe...1...2...3...Bros get the win but Raiders looked good at least.
We see a promotional video with an old maya temple surrounded by deep and intense jungle. Two small birds quickly make their way into the scene, fluttering about as they descent towards the temple. As they reach the top, they land and suddenly both small creatures transforms into two masked warriors. Rey Mysterio and El Hijo de Rey Mysterio overlooks the scene, and Rey makes a gesture towards the horizon. He says in spanish, that their enemies have taken cover in a distant and faraway land, but they will find them and vanquish them. And then, they can claim their rightfull booty, as they become The New EAM Tag Team Champions! They once again transform into birds and fly towards the horizon and the orange descending sun...
Could see the promo. Very good. Like Lucha Underground. Imagine WSX vs Lucha Underground damn.
Singles Matchup (Non-Title)
Keith Lee Vs Donovan Dijakovic
Absolutely huge match which has been going for years over many promotions. Was hoping this match wouldn’t happen yet or at least have some build but fore the bell even starts backstage they’re fighting it out!. Don and Keith battling it backstage with officials tearing them apart and it looks like we’re not getting this match!. This feud is just too much for a Jamboree!.
As our main event is about to go off, we go backstage where we hook up with the current EAM Champion; Shawn Michaels. Tonights match is not a title match, but still Shawn has to put his money where his mouth is, but as he is about to leave for the ring his celphone rings. He picks it up and a short conversation is what happen next. Shawn explains the situation on Jamboree right now, with all those new ones debuting etc. then he puts the cellphone on loudspeaker as he close his locker and straightens the belt on the top of his shoulders. We can now hear the other person, and we can hear it is the chairman, Emil A. He tells Shawn tha he really need this favor, and the only person he knows that might make it happen are Shawn. Money is not a problem Shawn. The least of the problems are money. Shawn says he will see what he can do, but wants Emil A. to know he does not think it is a good idea. Emil A. says he agrees....
Singles Matchup (Non-Title)
Shawn Michaels Vs Drew McIntyre
Hmm no idea what that could be but a huge main event which goes a good 20 minutes. Another dream match. Drew’s first match after being drafted is against HBK!. Drew with a back drop driver, back suplex and full nelson drop for 2 counts. Drew with a Claymore Kick for a close 2 count!. Shawn kicks out somehow. Shawn nails the elbow and kip up...Shawn goes to the corner...SWEET CHIN...BAAAM SCOT DROP. HE HASN’T DONE THAT IN YEARS...1...2...NO SHAWN KICKS OUT. Drew looks for another Claymore K....SWEET CHIN MUSIC....1....2...3....WOW WHAT A REVERSAL AND ENDING. HBK has won this match. He celebrates the win as we end the show.
