The lion's mouth roars open, its eyes flashing ominously, in stark contrast with the upbeat, poppy tones of Aqua's 'Cartoon Heroes', which is playing in the arena PA. A moment later, the trio known as Everyday Heroes steps out onto the ramp. The Owl Man strikes a heroic pose, while Sailor Cherry goes into the Sailor Moon stance. Jason Orion watches the two benevolently, shaking his head, before leading the team into the ring at a jog. Along the way, the trio slap as many hands as the elevated ramp will allow. Reaching ringside, Jason picks out a small child in the front rows and, producing an extra bandanna from his pocket, places it on their head. At the same time, Cherry selects a little girl and gives her her wand. The trio then take to the ring, where Cherry and Owlie once again hit heroic poses before all three take to their corner to wait for the bell. "Cuka Rocka" announces the arrival of La Cucaracha and the lion's mouth opens, as it's nostrils spew forth purple smoke. La Cucaracha pushes out Hammerstein, as Anna Matthews glares at them from behind. Matthews and Hammerstein begin walking to the ring as Cucaracha lags behind, then hurries back out handing them foam hissing cockroaches to throw to the crowd. Hammerstein gladly complies, nearly falling off the elevated ramp in the process while Matthews merely chucks it aside and a fan leans over the rail to grab it.
JAKE AARONS: This match is scheduled for one fall with a thirty minute time limit! The winners will advance to tonight's four corner finals! Introducing first... SAILOR CHERRY, OWL MAN and JASON ORION... THE EVERYDAY HEROES! Their opponents... HAMMERSTEIN, ANNA MATTHEWS and LA CUCARACHA... SHIT!
It is determined that La Cucaracha and Jason Orion will start things off, and they do just that with a side headlock from Orion applied to the former Heritage Champion. Some history between these two as Cucaracha unseated Orion as Supremo king during the season two finale of Pollomania. Cucaracha throws Orion off into the ropes and goes for her flying forearm, but Orion dodges... goes behind, sets her up for a side Russian leg sweep... Cucaracha spins out and goes for a kick, but Orion catches it causing her to hop in place. Orion spins her around and locks-up again, twisting her arm into an arm wringer and then flips her to the mat! Orion goes to follow up, but La Cucaracha tells referee Xavier Price that he pulled her hair! The fans boo and side with the Everyday Heroes as they argue that he did not. Price asks Hammerstein and Anna Matthews, who both shrug and say they don't know. Cucaracha marches over, tags in Anna and tells them "WE'RE SUPPOSED TO BE A TEAM!".
MANDEVILLE NELSON: Seems some trouble is already brewing from first time team... uh... do I have this acronym right?
CHAD GOMEZ: Unfortunately, yes.
BASTIAN KRULL: The trouble stemming from the fact that Hammerstein and Matthews wouldn't corroborate with her claim that Orion pulled her hair when he flipped her to the mat during that arm wringer. I saw no such thing.
Matthews comes in and Sailor Cherry leaps in for her side, Cherry walks up and extends her hand and Matthews chuckles at her. They lock-up, quick go behind by Matthews who takes Cherry down to the mat with a rear waist lock. Cherry though is able to scramble out of it, up to her feet and hits the ropes... she cartwheels past Matthews attempt at catching her with a clothesline but the Time Lord kicks her in the gut and enzuigiris her into a dimension where she might actually possess a power item. Cherry gets to her knees, no clue where she's at as her Everyday Hero partners rally her on. Matthews grabs her and chucks her into the corner... BIG BALL OF VIOLENCE! Cherry's head is bouncing as though you were dribbling a basketball a foot off the ground. Finally, Matthews backs off and props Cherry up in the corner... takes to the opposite corner and comes rushing in with the handspring back elbow smash. Cherry drops out of the way and Matthews hits hard, falling to the mat. Cherry tags in Owl Man just as Matthews rolls out to make one of her partners the legal person.
MANDEVILLE NELSON: Here comes Hammerstein!
CHAD GOMEZ: Lard vs. lard, this oughta be good!
Hammerstein charges in and blocks a punch from Owl Man, then does the Dikembe Mutombo! He wags his finger in the face of Owl Man before decking him with a punch of his own! Owl Man doesn't get a chance to shake it off as Hammerstein grabs him in a side headlock then performs a standing switch into a hammerlock and catches him with a schoolboy roll up!
1...
...
2-KICK OUT!
Hammerstein gets up and grabs Owl Man as he's to his feet, snapmaring him back down! He nails a running senton and covers again!
1...
...
2...
KICK OUT!
Cucaracha protests the count from the apron which gets... "WOW DUDE" from Price and the fans, Hammerstein has a laugh but stops laughing when Owl Man grabs him from behind, clubs him in the back, headbutts him and then body slams him! Owl Man pumps his fists to the support of the crowd and his partners, and grabs Hammerstein as he's getting up again... SCOOP SLAM! Hammerstein hits hard, but staggers back up... Owl hoists him onto his shoulders... SAMOAN DROP! Owl Man calls for his finish and heads up top for the Belly Flop, but Cucaracha charges across the apron and holds onto his foot! This draws the ire of Orion and Cherry and they leap to their friend's aid, Matthews begrudgingly goes to help Cucaracha and Owl Man crotches himself during this melee. He plops down into the ring and Hammerstein crawls over, Price slides into position...
1...
...
2...
...
3-KICK OUT!
MANDEVILLE NELSON: The Japanese fans thought that was it! Owl Man came down hard, Hammerstein was aware enough to pull himself on top and everyone else was distracted!
Orion is back in the ring, having leaped in to break up the fall. He grabs Hammerstein up, getting him to his knees and is about to go for his Nebula superkick when Matthews grabs him from the apron! She tries to save her boo from certain doom, but Sailor Cherry grabs her by the ankles and brings her out to the floor! Cucaracha ascends the turnbuckle... Owl Man seems to silently tell Orion that she's there, as Orion turns around and grabs her... chucking her into Hammerstein! The duo go crashing across the ring, Cherry rolls Matthews into the ring... Orion delivers the Nebula Kick! Orion then gathers up Owl Man and the two head over to Hammerstein and La Cucaracha, while Cherry ascends the top rope... ELBOW OF JUSTICE!
1...
...
2...
...
3!
MANDEVILLE NELSON: Heroes win!
BASTIAN KRULL: The Everyday Heroes advance to the four corners final tonight. Nice touch from Orion and Owl Man, letting Sailor Cherry - the least experienced of the three pick up the win for her team. A good morale booster, I'm sure!

Our commercial opens up with an old farm truck driving down the highway, the man inside appears to be humming a tune on the radio.
??: Duh duh duh... uhh... dun dun uhhh...
The screen reveals the voice to be that of Alexander Irvine much earlier in his youth, still sporting a full head of hair, inside the old red truck wearing a white cowboy hat, button up white flamboyant western shirt, jeans and a boots. He comes upon a man dressed in a 70's style alien suit standing in the middle of the road.
ALEXANDER IRVINE: Oh no, I'll be darn tootin'. What the heck is going on around here.
He gets out of the truck as the door creaks, looking towards the "man".
ALEXANDER IRVINE: Hey fellow you alone around here.
Before he can get an answer he turns to looks back in his truck and is startled by the sight of three more men dressed in similar fashion sitting inside, turning back to the original man he his joined by and ever growing amount of grey space men, his right arm held up in the air... before landing upon his friends head. As the men start to dance.
ALEXANDER IRVINE: I don't understand...alright...yeah...yeehaw...::gibberish::
Seemingly getting caught up in the excitement, dancing and carrying on with the men Irvine is later joined in the center of the group by the original space man. The two bump heads with a loud thud and looks to one another seriously.
ALEXANDER IRVINE: Fundoshi.
The scene then fades away to show the symbol of the Sandoki Fundoshi company, the leading manufacture of Fundoshi style underwear for Sumo's and Japanese athletic competitors.

As “Break on Through” hits the speakers as Julian Cutlass and Alexander Irvine emerge to the roar of the lion and the roar of the crowd. Both stalk down the aisles clad in their respective robes as eager fans grasp for them. The two men tolerate the fans but pay close attention to the ring and climb inside. They hand their robes off to the attendants, exchange a fist-bump, and stretch in preparation for the match. "Panic" by the Smiths hits and Ben Chrenshaw steps out of the lion's mouth with his hands on his hips. He surveys the crowd as they barrage him with boos, but the sly smirk that adorns the Iron Champion's face tells you all you need to know about what he thinks of them. He casually strolls down the runway and stops...
AS I WALK THROUGH THE VALLEY OF THE SHADOW OF DEATH
"Gangster's Paradise" by Coolio begins to play throughout the arena. The lights abruptly turn off all at once as the music continues to play. Seemingly hundreds of camera flashes begin lighting up the darkened arena then suddenly the curtain is thrown back and Robb Daniels and his wife Lauren emerge from the lion's mouth... Robb wears a very serious look upon his face, walking down the centre of the runway with his wife in tow. He shakes hands with Ben Chrenshaw and the two head to the ring.
JAKE AARONS: This match is scheduled for one fall with a thirty minute time limit and the winners will advance to tonight's four corner finals! Introducing first at a combined weight of four hundred and thirty four pounds... ALEXANDER IRVINE, JULIAN CUTLASS... BLACK LION'S ROAD! Their opponents at a combined weight of four hundred and forty eight pounds... BEN CHRENSHAW, ROBB DANIELS... THEY ARE THE ESSENTIAL!
Ben Chrenshaw and Alexander Irvine looked poised to start this match off, but Chrenshaw backs up and smirks as Daniels whispers something into his ear. The Iron Champion tags in the King of the Lions and Irvine looks around, letting the fans build up the call... after several yells of "CUTLASS", Irvine reaches back and tags Julian Cutlass into the match and for the first time since July 14th... Cutlass and Daniels are about to lock up. Cutlass' and Daniels' collar and elbow tie up is a little aggressive and sloppy, as the two jockey for position... Cutlass backs Daniels into the ropes and breaks at three, but gives him a shove! Daniels shoves him back! The Japanese crowd gasps as the two men trade words before locking up again, Daniels nearly backs Cutlass into the ropes, but he spins out and puts Daniels against them and once more, breaks at three... but SLAPS THE CHAMPION IN THE FACE! The crowd pops and this draws Chrenshaw into the ring, as well as Irvine.
MANDEVILLE NELSON: There is certainly no love lost between these two men. Fans, you may remember that Julian Cutlass came to Lion's Road to pass the torch and Daniels more or less told him to shove it. The two would go on to have a match and Cutlass gave Daniels a hell of a test, but it would be the woman at ringside - Lauren Parker-Daniels who would prove to be the pivotal factor in that match and allow Robb Daniels to remain champion.
The situation calms down a bit and the partners leave, but Daniels grabs Cutlass and tosses him out to the floor. Cutlass slides back in, but gets the boots put to him! Daniels tags in Chrenshaw and the duo chuck him out to the floor again! Cutlass tries to charge back in, but Irvine gets in his way and tells him to go on the apron. Irvine climbs into the ring and immediately ties up with Chrenshaw, the Iron Champion does a go behind, school boy rollup... and tries turning it into the Wrinkle in Time, but Irvine is way too close to the ropes and grabs them. They get back to a vertical base and start trading strikes, Chrenshaw strikes with a knee lift and throws Irvine out of the ring before smirking at Cutlass, who is not so pleased.
BASTIAN KRULL: Interesting match up, interesting contrast of styles and even strategies. Black Lion's Road, very much wear you down with strikes and submissions types. Whereas the Essential, they'll play with their food so to speak. More than capable of defeating opponents, but they enjoy the mind games.
CHAD GOMEZ: Can you blame them? It works! They got Cutlass hot within the first few minutes of this match!
Irvine climbs back in and Chrenshaw throws him into the Essential corner, tagging in Daniels... the two take turns clubbing him before whipping him into the ropes and a drop toe hold from Daniels leads to a knee drop to the back of the head from Chrenshaw. The two high five, and Irvine uses the spare moment to pop up and tag Cutlass! Cutlass and Daniels lock up again, and Cutlass backs him into the corner and begins lighting him up with chops and strikes. Daniels is sent across the ring and does the Ric Flair up and over the ropes, out to the apron and onto the floor. Cutlass wants bad to go out and get him, but Garner restrains him. Chrenshaw goes out to check on him, but Daniels is up and climbing back into the ring by the time he gets to him. Daniels is brought into the ring with a snapmare and Cutlass pulls him up, slams him into the corner and tags in Irvine. The two pull Daniels out into the centre of the ring and drop him with a double brainbuster! Irvine covers!
1...
...
2...
BROKEN UP BY CHRENSHAW!
Chrenshaw beats on Irvine, until Daniels has a chance to get up and help him double team him back to the corner. Chrenshaw exits, tags in and comes right back and the duo shoot Irvine off the ropes... double lariat! Daniels exits and Chrenshaw gets up and clamps on an abdominal stretch! Cutlass runs in, hits the ropes... elbow strike and heads right back out. Irvine drops to the mat, but gets up and grabs Chrenshaw in an abdominal stretch of his own! Daniels comes in and clobbers Irvine with a shot to break it up! The referee admonishes both men as Chrenshaw grabs Irvine, suplexes him to the mat and then drags him over to Daniels, who tags himself in.
CHAD GOMEZ: I'm really liking what the Essential are doing here. They know how damaging Black Lion's Road's style can be inside the ring and they are keeping themselves as fresh as they can while wearing down both members of the goof troop.
Daniels cracks Irvine with a punch, asking him where his strong style is now! The Japanese boo as Daniels grabs Irvine's leg, bends it at the knee and slams the shin down over his knee! Irvine writhes in pain on the mat and Daniels gives a thumbs up to Chrenshaw and applies the single leg crab! Cutlass comes in and lariats Daniels from behind and exits, Daniels manages to tag in Chrenshaw who gets in and grabs Irvine before he can tag Cutlass. Irvine turns around and kicks Chrenshaw in the face, sending the Crippler across the ring into Daniels! Cutlass hops into the ring and we get a preview of the match we'll see on September 1st! Cutlass clobbers Chrenshaw with repeated elbow strikes, then sets him up for the ride... but short arms him, bringing him back into a rear naked choke! He hops onto his back and grapevines the legs! Chrenshaw tries to fight the hold, but he can't break free... he looks to the ropes, close but so far... suddenly Daniels pops back up on the apron and tags in! Cutlass continues to choke him out, not knowing the tag has been made... Daniels comes off the top rope with a diving knee drop to break the submission! Daniels rolls out to the floor to make Chrenshaw the legal man again, and he gets up... trying to clamp on the single leg crab and does so! Daniels slides in to cut off Irvine, but the Unnatural ducks the clothesline! Daniels goes tumbling over the top rope, lands on the apron and Irvine kicks him to the floor. Chrenshaw, who has his back to all this, cranks the hold back on Cutlass and doesn't see Irvine's flying forearm smash - the Battle Cry - until it hits him! Cutlass rolls out of the ring, Irvine leaps onto the second rope... PRAYING LIONSAULT! Chrenshaw gets his knees up!
MANDEVILLE NELSON: Things are breaking down here in Tokyo!
Chrenshaw marches over to Irvine, who grabs him by the tights and slings him out of the ring. Daniels grabs Irvine and pulls him out too and the four begin brawling out on the floor! Daniels and Irvine, Cutlass and Chrenshaw! Cutlass is rammed into the post, and Chrenshaw tries to Irish whip him into Irvine... but Cutlass reverses it... IRVINE BELLY TO BELLY SUPLEX TO CHRENSHAW ON THE FLOOR! Daniels smashes Cutlass off the ring apron, then grabs Irvine and whips him into the guardrail! He begins beating the tar out of him, then pulls him... dropping him throat first on the guardrail! Cutlass hears the referee's count and manages to drag himself under the bottom rope... then the bell sounds! Daniels turns back, cluing in to what just happened... referee Cordell Garner raises Cutlass' hand as Daniels makes his way around the ring and retrieves both his and Ben Chrenshaw's belts. He tells Cutlass to enjoy it, because they are the only belts that matter and holds both them up before checking on Chrenshaw. Irvine slides into the ring and is helped to his feet by JC, the two shake hands and both get their arm raised for their count out victory.
BASTIAN KRULL: Not the type of win I'm sure Black Lion's Road was looking for, but they'll be more than happy to take it as it advances them to the four corner final later this evening where they'll get a chance to become the first ever Pride Champions!
MANDEVILLE NELSON: Alright fans, I'm being told we're going to a commercial break but we'll have some showcase action after the break!

The soaring tune of Stratovarius’ “Eagleheart” plays as White Phoenix steps out from the lon’s mouth, white spotlights shining upon him. He looks around, pointing to a section of fans before proceeding down the aisle to the ring. As White Phoenix approaches the ring, he's waved down by Becky Chande, looking to gain a comment just before his match.
BECKY CHANDE: Just about to make his debut here, it's White Phoenix; thanks for joining me so close to your debut here in Lion's Road!
Phoenix nods politely.
BECKY CHANDE: Now, I'm sure some fans are familiar with your work in Mexico's HELL Lucha Libre, but far more would probably think first of the other man who originally wore this mask here in Japan, upwards of twenty years ago. I've read you're a...protege of his?
Phoenix nods, his eyes providing all his facial expression due to his mask.
WHITE PHOENIX: Yes. Trained by him, blessed with this mask by him. I'm honored to carry his legacy to here, where his name was made originally.
His voice, slightly muffled by the mask, is hesitant; the voice of a man who isn't used to having to do his talking outside of the ring. There's a noticeable fidget, a shifting weight between his feet both as he speaks and after. Becky notices but, bless her heart, she doesn't acknowledge it, plowing ahead with this interview instead.
BECKY CHANDE: Exciting! He was known for his high flying skills, but you're more known for your striking and throws. What can we expect from you here in the ring momentarily?
Phoenix eyes the ring, and those eyes show more than a flash of confidence.
WHITE PHOENIX: That's my home. That's where I'm most comfortable. What can you expect?
He looks back at Becky, considering his answer for a few moments.
WHITE PHOENIX: Expect speed. Expect power. I've learned from the best, all over the world. This is my chance to put all of that to use in the premiere professional wrestling group in the world.
BECKY CHANDE: And any comments in advance about next week's battle royal, and a potential shot at Corey Cruelty and the Heritage Championship?
Phoenix gives a small shake of the head.
WHITE PHOENIX: No. One match at a time. Some people come in...they talk about winning championships and title belts as soon as they walk through the door. That's...that's not me. Never look ahead, look only at what's in front of me. And right now?
He points at his opponent, already standing in the ring.
WHITE PHOENIX: That is what's in front of me. And right now I have to handle business. ...Uh...thank you.
Phoenix reaches out, offering a handshake to Becky. The gesture draws an odd look from Becky, looking from his face to his hand before she accepts it, her face bemused by the man offering it to her. Nodding, he turns and finishes his entrance to the ring.
BECKY CHANDE: That was White Phoenix, he's in action right now! Back down to you, guys!
Jin Hirai leads White Phoenix over to the top turnbuckle and bashes his head off of it, Hirai throws him into the corner and begins face washing him in between kicks to the gut. Hirai yanks him out and looks to go for a Michinoku Driver, but White Phoenix slips out... kick to the gut! He double underhooks the arms and it looks like this could be it... but Hirai shoves him away before can send him Into Ashes. Hirai grabs him and whips him into the corner again, but Phoenix runs up the turnbuckles, flips and leands behind Hirai. He levels him with a European uppercut and Hirai falls through the ropes to the floor. Phoenix begins rallying the fans inside the ring...
MANDEVILLE NELSON: We could be seeing the Flight of the Phoenix!
Indeed, a tope con hilo from Phoenix takes Hirai out on the floor. We flash forward a few minutes later, Phoenix leaps off the top rope with the Psycho Crusher - a springboard twisting European uppercut. He covers!
1...
...
2...
KICK OUT!
Phoenix pulls him and tries to continue his offense, but Hirai does the splits and goes all Johnny Cage on him - a cleverly disguised thrust to the throat and a lil' Bangkok action that goes undetected! Hirai covers!
1...
...
2...
KICK OUT!
Hirai groggily grabs Phoenix and looks to be going for an inverted DDT, but the man from Parts Unknown twists out, kicks him in the gut and sends him Into Ashes! The Tiger Driver connects and this one is elementary!
1...
...
2...
...
3!
CHAD GOMEZ: He must be wearing one hell of a cup.
BASTIAN KRULL: White Phoenix has been described as an all arounder, and he used his high-flying toolkit here tonight. He's in the battle royal next week to determine a number one contender for the Heritage Championship, so we'll definitely see a more grounded and strike based offense from him unless he wants to be an easy target up on those ropes.
CHAD GOMEZ: You and I have seen plenty of battle royals, Bas, you can forget you're not in a normal match when you get some momentum going.
BASTIAN KRULL: You raise a good point - there have been several cases of wrestlers trying to pin or submit an opponent in a battle royal or jumping the top rope to go out onto the apron for a springboard and then being knocked off. Mistakes can and will happen, and White Phoenix best not make them if he wants to battle Corey Cruelty on September 1st.

We return from break as Aria Price whips Molly Cyrus into the corner, then hoists her onto the top rope. She climbs up onto the second rope, hooks her up and brings her all the way down with a superplex. She floats over and hooks the leg...
1...
...
2...
FOOT ON THE ROPE!
Price gets up and pulls Cyrus with her, then clamps on a side headlock. She wrenches it in tightly before Molly Cyrus backs her into the ropes and shoots her off, Price ducks a clothesline attempt and hits the ropes again... she sends Cyrus across the ring with a headscissors takedown... then rushes up to her, clinching her up and monkey flipping her toward the opposite corner. Price gets up, charges Cyrus as she stumbles back to her feet and Irish whips her into the corner with authority! Cyrus stumbles backwards into a double knee backbreaker... then she's flip over into a crossface! Cyrus taps out!
BASTIAN KRULL: Impressive bridge on that crossface! Aria Price just cranked back on it viciously, and after a double knee backbreaker - it's easy to see why someone would submit as quickly as Molly Cyrus did.
CHAD GOMEZ: As good as her technical prowess is, Bas, she's at a sheer disadvantage next week in that battle royal. At 5'5", 115lbs... it won't be easy to eliminate competitors twice her size.
BASTIAN KRULL: No, certainly not, but where there's a will there's a way...
MANDEVILLE NELSON: It appears that Sam Hewitt is standing by just beyond the curtain, looking to get a few words from the woman we just saw - Aria Price!
SAM HEWITT: Earlier tonight Aria Price made her Lion's Road debut in winning fashion! Aria what are your thoughts on your match?
ARIA PRICE: Listen up Sam my mother always called me Aria but all my friends just call me AP. So I expect you to do the same. Tonight was all about getting over the hump and just getting that first win under my belt. I was about to grab a shower before hanging and heading back to the hotel but I was told you wanted to see me.
Price leans towards Sam Hewitt shrugging her shoulders and smiling.
SAM HEWITT: I wanted to be the first to break the news to you. Next week you'll be competing in a battle royal to decide the number one contender for Corey Cruelty's Heritage Championship. How does that sound?
ARIA PRICE: That's awesome. Two weeks on the job and receiving an opportunity like this is just a dream come true. I really owe it to the fans here in Tokyo tonight for staying behind me during my match. If it wasn't for your support I don't know where I would be today.
SAM HEWITT: How do you plan to celebrate winning your debut match?
ARIA PRICE: I'm fairly new here to Lion's Road but everyone has been really nice and I totally plan to celebrate this win the right way and that's with a few drinks!
SAM HEWITT: Congratulations on your win tonight and we'll see you next week when you challenge for the number one contender ship to the Heritage Championship!
ARIA PRICE: Thanks again Sam! PRICELESS!!!
Price walks back into her dressing room.
SAM HEWITT: Mane Event will return after these words!

JAKE AARONS: This contest is a four corner elimination decision match to determine the first ever Pride Champions! It will be fought to television time remaining! Introducing first... at a combined weight of four hundred, fifty two pounds... OWL MAN! JASON ORION! THE EVERYDAY HEROES! Next at a combined weight of four hundred and ninety pounds! AGENT B! AGENT D! THE AGENTS OF PAIN! Next... at a combined weight of four hundred and four pounds... KENSHIN TAKAMURA! MATT PULVER! THE STREAK! And finally at a combined weight of four hundred and thirty four pounds... ALEXANDER IRVINE! JULIAN CUTLASS! BLACK LION'S ROAD!
The bell sounds with Jason Orion starting off inside the ring with Agent B, they circle around briefly before a side headlock takeover from Agent B brings the former Pollomania Supremo Champion to the mat. Orion kicks up and applies a set of headscissors around B's neck to get himself out of the hold. The two men come to a standoff on their feet, but quickly engage again - Agent B goes behind and applies a hammerlock... but Orion leaps up and over, then applies a hammerlock of his own. B tries to reach down and grab Orion's leg between his own, but Orion dropkicks him in the butt! B bounces off the ropes, Orion ducks down and on the return... Orion leaps up... only to get spinebustered back down to the mat! Agent B covers...
1...
...
2...
...
KICK OUT!
Orion scrambles to a corner and tags, maybe not entirely aware of which corner of the ring he's in - as Alexander Irvine comes in as Agent B tags in Agent D.
CHAD GOMEZ: Got a lot of people asking on social media how do we tell Agent D and B apart?
BASTIAN KRULL: Agent B is the smaller of the two at 6'2", 239lbs while Agent D stands at 6'3" and weighs 251lbs. Not a huge difference between the two, but pay close attention when they're standing close to each other - the taller one is Agent D, and he's in the ring right now.
Agent D jumps right on the attack and backs Irvine into the ropes and goes for a clothesline, but he ducks underneath and grabs a half nelson... SUPLEX! Agent D is down!
1...
...
2-KICK OUT!
Agent D rolls out of the ring closest to Agent B, bringing him back into the ring. Irvine greets him several kicks to the chest before grabbing a side headlock and drags him over to Julian Cutlass, who he tags in. Cutlass comes in... and as Irvine holds Agent B in the side headlock, Cutlass walks up and the two Irish whip the Agent of Pain into the ropes... Cutlass lariats him! Cutlass pulls him up quickly and delivers a vicious backdrop suplex and holds for the pin.
1...
...
2...
KICK OUT!
Cutlass gets up and tags in Jason Orion. Orion hops into the ring and begins firing up on Agent B, lighting him up with strikes and then dropkicks him! Orion scrambles to his feet and applies a front facelock, looking for his Short but Sweet DDT... but Agent B hoists him into the air and dumps him over the top rope and to the floor! The bell sounds as a slew of stage hands go to check on him.
MANDEVILLE NELSON: Oh my! Agent B just backdropped Orion over the top rope and to the floor! You heard the bell - that's an automatic disqualification!
JAKE AARONS: Referee Cordell Garner has issued a red card to the Agents of Pain, they have been disqualified and eliminated from this match!
CHAD GOMEZ: We might be down to two teams, guys, Jason Orion doesn't look like he's in any shape to jump back in there.
MANDEVILLE NELSON: Fans, we've got to take a quick commercial break... We'll hopefully get this sorted out during that time. Don't go away!
- COMMERCIAL BREAK -
MANDEVILLE NELSON: Fans, if you're just joining us - this is a four corner elimination tag match to determine the first ever Pride Champions and the Agents of Pain just became the first team to be eliminated as Agent B dumped Jason Orion over the top rope and to the floor, which qualifies as an instant red card foul. Unfortunately, Jason Orion was helped to the back during the break, but Owl Man came back out here after helping his partner to the back.
CHAD GOMEZ: More heart than brains. What's he going to do against two of the best teams Lion's Road has to offer? He can't bring Sailor Cherry out here - she didn't start the match.
BASTIAN KRULL: Chad makes a good point, Sailor Cherry is their third member but because the match started as Orion and Owl Man - a substitution cannot be made mid way into the match.
Takamura is in the ring with Cutlass, and gets backed up into the ropes... the two going blow for blow with vicious forearm shots! Cutlass shoots him out, but Takamura comes back and arm drags him to the mat! Cutlass rolls out of the ring and referee Garner points to Owl Man, telling him he was closest to Cutlass so he's in. Owl Man slowly gets in, realizing he has the weight of the world on his shoulders and locks up with the Tokyo Tiger. He backs Kenshin Takamura into the ropes, then drives a shoulder into his gut... Owl Man clubs him in the back and then puts him into the corner. Owl Man backs up and charges in for a splash... but Takamura moves! Owl Man staggers back... and Takamura charges right into a belly to belly suplex! Takamura staggers to his feet and gets squashed in the corner! Owl Man scoops him up and Samoan drops him! He climbs to the turnbuckle on the Black Lion's Road side, the two men back off at Garner's order.
CHAD GOMEZ: Why would they interfere with this anyway? He's about to belly flop and squash Takamura, taking him out of the match - it makes zero sense for them to interfere with that because it would leave them in a 2 on 1 situation or if Takamura somehow kicks out. They're up against one man, and a man with one leg! Hahaha!
Owl Man leaps off... NOBODY HOME! Irvine reaches down and tags himself in, he runs to the ropes... WOLFSAULT! Hooks the leg...

KICK OUT!
Irvine tags in Cutlass and the two begin ping-ponging poor Owl Man between them, Irvine hops out to the apron and Cutlass sets him up for a reverse STO... backs up, tags Irvine back in and hits the ropes... nailing Owl Man in the back of the head with a lariat sending him into the Next Dimension! Irvine hops on top again...

3-KICK OUT!
CHAD GOMEZ: If fatty knew what was good for him, he'd stay down!
Irvine tags Cutlass back in and the two drag the big man to his feet. Cutlass hits the ropes... BLAZIN' KICK! Owl Man stumbles around.... IRVINE CLOBBERS HIM WITH THE FLYING FOREARM - BATTLE CRY! The Devastator forces Owl Man to crumble to the mat and Cutlass rolls out of the ring as Irvine covers again.

JAKE AARONS: The Everyday Heroes have been eliminated!
BASTIAN KRULL: Very commendable effort on behalf of the Owl Man, there wasn't a lot he could do given the situation but I admire the heart of the guy - he still gave it his best shot.
The final portion of the match is about to begin and as Takamura is out on the floor, Pulver seizes the opportunity to get into the ring. He and Cutlass engage in a grapple and despite turning it into an arm wringer, Pulver leaves himself wide open for Cutlass to begin kicking his leg! Pulver cries out in pain as he crumples to the mat, Cutlass grabs the leg, puts his foot on the back of his knee and stomps... he tags in Irvine and the Wolf licks his chops... he applies what starts off being a Romero Special, but turns it into a Dragon sleeper and contorts Pulver's body in unnatural ways. The Tokyo Tiger dives in the ring and stomps Alexander Irvine to break up the hold! Irvine chases after him, and Pulver wisely rolls out to the floor despite Cutlass trying to stop him from doing so. Now the legal man, Takamura has been backed into the corner and is being walloped by Mongolian hammerfists! Irvine finishes his striking sequence with a knee to the gut and then picks Takamura up and delivers a running Liger bomb across the ring! He holds for the pin!

FOOT ON THE ROPE!
Cutlass reaches and tags in, he peppers Takamura with strikes until he backs him into the corner... then applies a side headlock and hip tosses him down to the mat! Cutlass releases and backs into the corner, he readies himself and the fans know what's coming... BLAZIN' KI-NO! Takamura grabs the leg and Dragon screw leg whips him! Cutlass rolls out of the ring, holding his leg and Alexander Irvine jumps down to check on him. Cutlass pulls himself up with the guardrail just in time for the two to turn around and see Kenshin Takamura asai moonsaulting onto them! The fans come alive as their native hero gets up, full of fire... he grabs Irvine and throws him into the ring! He climbs in and covers!

CUTLASS PULLS HIM OUT OF THE RING!
Matt Pulver pulls himself onto the apron and grabs the top rope... he leaps up, springboards off... DOUBLE STOMP TO IRVINE! Pulver rolls around the ring in pain as Cutlass and Takamura brawl on the outside. Pulver begins crawling over to Irvine when the bell sounds, Julian Cutlass and Kenshin Takamura stop brawling immediately and Takamura has the decency to prop Cutlass up, who falls over in exhaustion.
JAKE AARONS: Ladies and gentlemen, the television time limit for this match has expired! Because there must be a winner, this match will continue between these two teams next week on Mane Event!
Neither team looks too happy, but it what it is.
MANDEVILLE NELSON: Sorry, fans! We are out of time! We'll see you next week on Mane Event! The big battle royal! The continuation of this match! See ya then!
CHAD GOMEZ: Bye!
