NOVEMBER 12, 2022

When The Mountain decided to turn his back on the fans and join the Bad Boys of Wrestling, it was with an assault on the other giant of The Pride, Drake Durden. Since then, the seven-footer has sought revenge against the trio. At Here to Stay 5, Durden would join forces with Pac Ortega and the debuting Space Tiger, Jr. in his quest.

OCT. 8, 2022

As Warpath began, The Mountain was in the ring, the crowd expecting to dance along with the 600-pounder, when Kool Daddi Denzell and Rodzilla hit the ring and attacked. Drake Durden made the save, and a tag match was made between the two giants and The Bad Boys of Wrestling.


MATHAYUS VS. THE MOUNTAIN

Mathayus's transformation into the loathed "God of Fire," a change influenced by Devon DeVille, was completed in December in Navasota in a match against The Mountain.

THE MOUNTAIN & TKO JOE VS. BAD BOYS OF WRESTLING
APR. 23, 2022

At Fight to Unite, Kool Daddi Denzell and Rodzilla decided to make their presence felt by attacking The Mountain.

MATHAYUS (C) VS. THE MOUNTAIN
LIONS DEN CHAMPIONSHIP
JAN. 22, 2022

Mathayus's reign as the very first Lions Den Champion began with the slaying of a pair of popular giants.

At Lash Out, the Lions Den Championship was defended for the first time. The first champion, Mathayus, faced off with The Mountain in the 600-pounder's hometown of Navasota. While The Mountain had the support of the crowd, the champion seemed to have gotten some mysterious support ahead of the match.


DRAGON DADDIES & KEMONTE ROSS VS. THE MOUNTAIN AND ONSLAUGHT
NOV. 13, 2021

The egotistical Shimbashi and Kool Daddi Denzell had mocked and berated their tag team partner at Here to Stay, Kemonte Ross, in the lead-up to their match.

For The Trifecta's Cade Carson and Chavy Chulo, it was an opportunity to put a turbulent period behind them. For The Mountain and Zane Valero, it would take putting a mutual dislike for each other behind them to find success. Who would gain momentum in the quest to become the first Lions Den Champion?

JAY ALEXANDER VS. THE MOUNTAIN
APR. 24, 2021

A vicious attack by Jay Alexander ahead of his scheduled match with Mathayus kept "The Headline" from competing at Return of the Giant 2. The Mountain would emerge to challenge "The Purveyor of Punishment" instead. Which powerhouse would come out on top in this first-time match-up?


THE TRIFECTA VS. THE MOUNTAIN & TOMMY BOLTON
MAR. 27. 2021

Mike Dell, Cade Carson and Chavy Chulo have turned Lions Pride Sports into a violent playground. The Trifecta's challenge at the start of King of the Pride, Part 2 became another encounter with The Mountain and a first time meeting with Reality of Wrestling's Tommy Bolton on his birthday. Would "The Brute" celebrate his big day with a win with the 500-pounder, or would Carson and Chulo score a tag team victory?

After forming at January's Surrounded event, Mike Dell, Cade Carson and Chavy Chulo were in action for the first time together at February's Battle in Bryan 3. Trifecta's opponents were a pair of giants each attacked by the trio at the previous event: The Mountain and Drake Durden.


MIKE DELL VS. THE MOUNTAIN
JAN. 30, 2021

Having begun his new vision in Lions Pride Sports in a partnership with Cade Carson, Mike Dell set his sights on toppling the biggest competitor in the promotion. Would The Mountain knock off the two-time Lions Pride Sports Champion, or would "One Man" pick up his first win on his new path?


MIA FRIDAY VS. ZANE VALERO
SPECIAL ENFORCER: THE MOUNTAIN
DEC. 19, 2020

At September's Reboot, two teen sensations from The Lions Den Training Facility debuted. Zane Valero lost his match, and Mia Friday won hers. A jealous Valero attacked Friday and her tag partner, The Mountain in the aftermath. November's Full Speed Ahead saw Zane and Mia compete against each other, with Valero disqualified for not following the referee's instructions. Zane's post-match attack on Mia was put to an end by The Mountain, who was named the special enforcer for Friday-Valero rematch at Winter Warfare II.

Meanwhile, 14-year-old Bryan Collegiate High student Mia Friday was set for action when some persistent enemies made their presence known and forced a lineup change. Would these products of The Den make successful Pride debuts?


STEWY THE CANNIBAL CLOWN VS. THE MOUNTAIN
UNSANCTIONED MATCH
FEB. 29, 2020

In freeing himself from the mind control of The Dark Circus, The Mountain gained a joyous attitude. The problem for the big man was Stewy the Cannibal Clown and The Ringmaster had their sights set on tormenting and destroying him. At Leap Year and Chill in College Station, Lions Pride Sports permitted an unsanctioned match. Would The Mountain complete his break-away from the darkness, or would Stewy complete The Circus's mission?


DARK CIRCUS VS. A-K CONNECTION
HANDICAP MATCH
OCT. 5, 2019

It's always a frightening scene when Stewy the Cannibal Clown, The Ringmaster and The Mountain come around, but the team of Azrael and Kemonte Ross were determined to stop The Dark Circus at Uproar in Brenham, even in a handicap match. Could A-K Connection come out with a win, or would the ominous trio capture another victory? Plus, Kool Daddi Denzell encounters Gunnar Hendrix in some pre-match shenanigans.


AGGIELAND RUMBLE MATCH
WINNER EARNS 360 CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH
JULY 20, 2019

Thirty competitors, one mission: stay in the ring and earn a Lions Pride Sports 360 Title opportunity. The first Aggieland Rumble match was contested in Bryan, with a random draw determining the entry of the wrestlers. One-by-one, they came in, and 29 had to leave because they went over the top rope and both their feet hit the floor. The lone person to survive the eliminations earned a chance later that night to face Will Allday for the 360 belt.
