RELOADED MATCH #1: Viper (with Nikki Storm) defeated Session Moth Martina via pinfall with the Sitout Powerbomb and the Running Seated Senton. After the bell, Nikki Storm got in to stomp down on the loser to add salt to her wounds.

RELOADED MATCH #2: William Eaver defeated Jack Jester (with Chris Renfrew) via pinfall with the Clothesline From Heaven. RJ Singh interviewed The Pastor as he exited down the aisle. He expressed that he wants to fight The Tartan Rebellion's leader; Chris Renfrew.

RELOADED MATCH #3: The Coffey Brothers vs. The Kings of the North never began after Bonesaw and Damien Corvin attacked their opponents as they walked down the aisle. The brawl continued until security dragged both teams to the backstage area.

[align=center]EPW Live #45: No Turning Back[/align]

As the Reloaded taping comes to a close, this special live broadcast opens with a recap of the previous weeks' major happenings including the EPW British National Championship situation and the build for all of tonight's featured bouts. The Derby Arena is sold out for the show. Mauro Ranallo and Nigel McGuinness are standing by behind the commentary booth to greet us to the show. They quickly run down the card which includes Nathan Cruz defending the EPW British 15 Championship against El Ligero, The South Pacific Power Trip vs. South London's Finest with the EPW British Tag Team Championships on the line, Nixon Newell vs. Pollyanna Peppers in the #1 Contender's Tournament Final, Laura Di Matteo gets a shot at Kay Lee Ray's EPW British Women's Championship, Will Ospreay joins forces with international ally Kazuchika Okada to take on Marty Scurll and a mystery partner, Jack Gallagher battles The Tartan Rebellion's Noam Dar and in the main event; British Strong Style's Trent Seven and Tyler Bate vs. Martin Stone and the EPW in-ring debut of Jimmy Havoc. Jim Smallman then welcomes the competitors out to the ring for the opening contest...

Will Ospreay & Kazuchika Okada vs. Marty Scurll & ???
The Aerial Assassin has a grin on his face as he welcomes out his partner. The fans give the Japanese import a warm welcome and have streamers ready for when he gets to the ring. These two look a winning combination. We also know that Marty Scurll was struggling to find a partner at all, let alone one to match up with this Revolution Wrestling alumni. The Villain reluctantly makes his way down alone and it is sure looking like he is going to have to go this alone in a handicap match. Just before the referee rings the bell, 'Warp 1.9' by The Bloody Beetroots feat. Steve Aoki is heard over the speakers in the building. A small percentage of the fan-base knows what this means right away. They eventually all do when the beat drops and out walks former EPW British National Champion and current GCW superstar; Zack Sabre Jr. The crowd goes nuts. The Technical Wizard makes his way down the aisle to stand by the side of his former friend and tag team partner turned arch-enemy. Zack extends his hand. There is an uneasy moment between the two as it becomes clear that Marty hasn't forgotten that it was Sabre Jr. that beat him for the title gold seven months ago. At this point, he doesn't have much choice and accepts the offer. The Leaders of the New School have reunited. Both teams get their fair share of offence. This leads to multiple near falls and close submissions for each competitor. Sabre Jr. almost gets an early tap out on Ospreay with the Cross Armbreaker, Scurll clocks Okada with a Swinging Double Underhook Suplex for two, Ospreay gets a near fall on Zack with the Essex Destroyer and Okada nearly gets a three count on The Villain following a Snap DDT followed by a Diving Elbow Drop. The heels eventually gain momentum after they launch The Technical Wizard out to ringside. They work together to wear down Marty Scurll. Ospreay begins trying to boss his partner around though which costs him. Kazuchika Okada eventually tells The Aerial Assassin however this advice is ignored and Ospreay finds himself the victim of the Rainmaker at the hands of his own tag team partner. As the fans go nuts, Okada leaves up the aisle. Scurll and Sabre Jr. climb to their feet and drop Ospreay with their old tag team finishing move; the See You Later. The Michinoku Driver/Dropkick combination proves successful as Marty hooks the leg for the three count victory. As the bell rings, the victors celebrate on each turnbuckle in front of a cheering Derby crowd. They once again meet in the middle of the ring. They nod at each other in approval as the segment comes to a close. Their may be mutual respect there however we doubt the two will be going back to being best friends any time soon.

Trent Seven and Tyler Bate are pacing around their locker room. The team appear anxious at what Jimmy Havoc is capable of tonight. They can't risk any injuries before they set off to North America away from 'this dump of a country'. Tyler Bate also tells his associates that an ugly death-match wrestler like Havoc will get off on trying to ruin his superstar looks. After much more complaining, Doug Williams eventually settles down his new associates. The Anarchist claims that he has seen these glorified backyarders come and go over the years. They have to carve themselves to bits because they simply don't possess the talent that men like them do. As their advisor, Doug promises to be in their corner tonight. It is a No DQ Match after all so he will get involved if they need his help. This seems to calm down his two allies however things get tense once again when William Regal walks in with a fleet of security. The commissioner is glad he walked in at this very moment. He thought Doug Williams would be planning on getting involved this evening therefore has taken it upon himself to ban him from the arena. The veteran pleads with Regal to change his mind. As Regal ignores his pleas, security demand Williams leave and he reluctantly does so. The commissioner then grins back at Seven and Bate who look on furiously.

EPW British Women's Championship
Kay Lee Ray © vs. Laura Di Matteo

This match was set up almost a month ago after the challenger got a pinfall over the champion in a six-man tag team match. Laura Di Matteo's confidence has shot through the roof since then but Kay Lee Ray has done her best to knock the Italian underdog's spirit. The #1 contender looks strong in the early stages of the match after matching up to her opponent in each and every way. The champ digs down in to her book of dirty tricks though by dragging Di Matteo off the ropes by her hair to gain some momentum though. This leads to KLR locking her rival in a Figure-Four Leg Lock around the ring-post. The hold is broken after five seconds however it was enough to do damage to Laura's knee for the rest of the match. Kay Lee Ray chooses to target the knee for a while. She stomps down on it, stretches it with various holds and even takes it out with a vicious chop block. Di Matteo refuses to give up though. She fires back and manages to roll out of the way of a Swanton Bomb attempt. As the #1 contender attempts to execute the Unprettier, her knee buckles out and she drops to the canvas. This allows Kay Lee Ray the chance to deliver an Inverted DDT. She then follows up with the Gory Bomb before locking on a Single-Leg Boston Crab. The Italian underdog looks for a way to escape. The pain to her knee is just too much though and she winds up tapping out. Kay Lee Ray retains her gold. She snatches it from the official with a grin on her face. The challenger tried her best this evening however the champion's dominance over the women's division only seems to grow strong by every title defence.

RJ Singh is standing by backstage for an interview. He is joined by The Tartan Rebellion which means Chris Renfrew is taking the reigns on this one. The outspoken leader of the group snatches the microphone from the interviewer and reminds us all of what he has told us all along; the Scottish are taking over EPW. When this company died a death in the first place, it was the scene in Scotland that kept British wrestling alive and he will be damned if he's letting the English take all the credit. Renfrew then points towards Noam Dar before telling us that we are looking at the man who will be walking out of this company's biggest show in it's history with the EPW British National Championship. The Scottish Supernova has a few words for his opponent tonight; Jack Gallagher. He promises to have that 'pasty, posh piece of sh*te' screaming for mercy because it is time for The Tartan Rebellion to take what is rightfully theirs.

EPW British 15 Championship
Nathan Cruz © (with Zack Gibson) vs. El Ligero

This rivalry began when The Defenders of the Nation brutally attacked the challenger a couple of months ago for seemingly no reason. El Ligero has since returned even stronger than before though to get his revenge on Nathan Cruz and hopefully capture the EPW British 15 Championship in the process. The reigning champion had a run in with his stable-mate Dave Mastiff last week however his other ally Zack Gibson still remains in his corner. The match begins with some chain wrestling which soon quickens up in to some fast-paced counters. This favours The Masked Sensation who is a high-flyer. As soon as he decides to go up high, Gibson attempts to drag him off the ropes but the referee warns him off with a warning after Ligero pushes his way free. This causes Mandrews to enter on behalf of his friend to keep his eye on Gibson at ringside. The two of them eventually come to blows. They brawl to the back and out of sight. In the meantime, Nathan Cruz takes advantage of the melee outside of the ring and executes the Double Knee Backbreaker from the second rope on his opponent for a pinfall to make it 1-0. He locks on a Boston Crab in an attempt to double his lead. Ligero gets to the ropes though. He then lands a Running Single Leg Dropkick and a Diving Splash for a near fall to turn the tables in a big way. The leader of The D.O.T.N is eventually caught with an Enzuiguri which sends him staggering. As he stands, Ligero springs off the ropes to pull off the C4L for three to tie the score at 1-1. We are 11 minutes in. The challenger may have evened the odds however he is going to have to get a definitive victory to walk out with the gold. He goes for another C4L. Cruz catches him in mid-air though and attempts the One Night Stand. Ligero lands on his feet. He then runs the ropes to then score a near fall with a Wheelbarrow Victory Roll. The fans are on their feet. As the clock ticks down, Ligero takes to the top rope for a high-risk move and dives through the air with a 450 Splash. Cruz gets his knees up, rolls through in to a cradle and hooks the tights for a crafty three count. Nathan Cruz is now 2-1. El Ligero has no chance with just 30 seconds left. He tries to pull it back in the dying seconds but the champ avoids danger. As the bell rings, the retaining champion pulls off a cowardly punch between the legs on the unsuccessful challenger. Boos fill the arena as he reins down with stomps. The mood changes though when Saxon's 'Denim and Leather' plays and Dave Mastiff walks down the aisle with a disapproving look on his face. The Big, Bad Bastard hits the ring and his former ally decides to high tail it and leave. He has accidentally left his title belt behind though which Mastiff picks up. He requests a microphone from ringside before telling Cruz that he'll be keeping this title seeing as he did more to keep it around Cruz's waist than anybody. Mastiff then declares that he takes orders from nobody any more. He finishes by saying that The Prima Donna can have the title back when he grows the balls to take it from him. The fans in Derby love it. Cruz has a look of worry on his face as he realise he has made an enemy of a very dangerous man. As his music begins to play once again, Mastiff exits the ring with the belt over his shoulder and passes the reigning champ with a smile on his face.

We are taken to the backstage area where a brawl has broken out. The Coffey Brothers and The Kings of the North are fighting like dogs. The limited members of security in attendance are struggling to keep this under control. They struggle even more when Bonesaw gets hold of a chair and swings at both of his enemies to give his team the upper hand. He and Damien Corvin then drop Joe Coffey with a Double Spinebuster on to a stack of ladders. As Mark Coffey tries to avenge his fallen brother, he is overwhelmed by The KOTN. They drive him several times in to the brick wall and then finally Damien Corvin slams him through a table with reckless intent. The no-nonsense Irish thugs flee the scene having done some serious damage. The Coffey Brothers are hurt and require some immediate medical assistance. Nobody appears to be safe with The Kings of the North in EPW.

EPW British Tag Team Championships
The South Pacific Power Trip (with Dahlia Black) vs. South London's Finest

Leroy Kincaide and Roy Johnson have been a surprise package since being teamed together by William Regal several weeks ago. They have managed to pick up wins against former champions and eventually earned themselves a title shot by winning a four-team gauntlet three weeks ago at EPW Live #32. The challengers can also boast of two singles victories over the champs as well however Nigel McGuinness is quick to remind us that The South Pacific Power Trip thrive as a duo. They prove this early on as they do a number on Roy Johnson. Banks and Cooper use quick tags, heavy-duty strikes and double team moves to isolate The Body Guy in their corner. The champs also repeatedly cut off his several attempts to tag out to his partner. The crowd are well behind the challengers. It is clear they want to see new champions. Banks and Cooper set up for a Double Superplex on Johnson. Kincaide has seen enough though and eventually comes in to drag them all down with a Stack-Superplex. Now with the tables turned, Leroy returns to his corner to allow his partner to tag him in. The crowd are on their feet. Kincaide drops both of his opponents with a Clothesline, a Hip Toss and a Flapjack each. He and his partner then execute a Back Suplex/Superkick combination on TK Cooper for a near fall. The match continues with the challengers in control. Kincaide lines up for the Spear on Cooper however Banks throws Johnson to ringside and catches Kincaide with a Running Dropkick when he tries to execute the move. The champions move in. Kincaide is in a vulnerable position and The South Pacific Power Trip deliver the Combination DDT to capitalise. TK Cooper hooks the leg. His partner holds off Roy Johnson. The three is then counted and the champions retain their gold. They may be victorious however The SPPT don't want to hang around and celebrate with the crowd. As they leave up the aisle, the boos echo around the Derby Arena. South London's Finest were unfortunate in defeat after a hard fought effort. It was an impressive showing for a team that only have a couple of months of experience under their belts.

Jimmy Havoc is sitting behind a table in the boiler room. He is wearing a blood stained t-shirt with his hair slicked to one side and an array of knives spread out across the table in front of him. Britain's lord of the hardcore knows that many EPW fans may not be familiar with him. Havoc knows the reason why this company haven't wanted him up until this point and he is absolutely fine with that however he is going to give those of us that don't know him a little history lesson. He has been wrestling in the United Kingdom and various parts of Europe for over ten years and has established a name of one of the most barbaric, insane, extreme characters on the circuit. People have seen clips on YouTube of what he can do. They have seen GIF's on Twitter of what he can do. Fans may have even heard about the injuries he has sustained or caused to his opponents. Tonight, he proclaims they'll all get a chance to see the Jimmy Havoc experience up close when he enters the EPW ring for the very first time and as the name of the event says; their truly is 'NO TURNING BACK'. Havoc begins to laugh as the picture fades.

Jack Gallagher vs. Noam Dar (with Chris Renfrew)
The Tartan Rebellion have been hot on the heels of Jack Gallagher since he earned a shot at the EPW British National Championship at EPW Live #50: This Is England. After not being able to persuade him to gift them the title shot, they have tried to beat it out of him and have now enlisted the help of Noam Dar to take it from him. The Scottish Supernova's frustrations at his position on the card had led to his decision to join the renegade group which has worked out well for him so far. He now has the opportunity to become #1 contender and a headline spot on the company's biggest show in history with the biggest win of his English Pro Wrestling career. Dar proves that he wants this by showing his aggressive side in the early stages. He even manages to launch Gallagher shoulder first in to the ring-post meaning he can target that body part for the majority of his offence. The Extraordinary Gentleman keeps trying to battle back. He is unsuccessful though with his opponent being well on top for the first half of the contest. After a suitable amount of time in the driver's seat, Noam Dar scores a near fall with a Fisherman's Buster. The reigning #1 contender has plenty of fight left in him yet. Renfrew yells at Gallagher to stay down as his ally stomps down on him in the corner viciously. The Scottish Supernova then charges forward for the Running Enzuiguri. Gallagher avoids the move and then begins nailing Dar with some quick-fire lefts and rights. This is followed up with a European Uppercut and attempt at the Achilles Lock. As The Extraordinary Gentleman tries to lock on his submission finish, Dar kicks him away and then blasts him in the jaw with the Running High Knee. He then makes the mistake of taunting the crowd for a while giving Gallagher a chance to regain energy. Dar tries to lock on the Champagne Super-Kneebar. Gallagher takes some damage however pulls himself to the ropes to break the hold. His opponent then tries to drag him straight up. The #1 contender blasts him with a headbutt. As Noam staggers around, Gallagher spins him round several times with an Airplane Spin and lets him fall back in to the turnbuckles. He then follows up with the Gentleman's Dropkick for a two count. The Extraordinary Gentleman motions for the Achilles Lock but Chris Renfrew has something to say about it. The leader of The Tartan Rebellion hops up on to the apron. His interference falls on deaf ears though when Jack Gallagher knocks him straight off with a Springboard Dropkick. Noam Dar tries to take advantage. His move is countered straight down in to the Achilles Lock though slap bang in the middle of the ring. To Noam's credit, he holds on for well over a minute. He eventually realises that there is nothing he can do to avoid the jaws of defeat and taps out. The fans cheer as Jack Gallagher climbs to his feet. With his arm raised in victory, he takes one step closer to the headline spot at the company's biggest show in history at St. Mary's Stadium. How that match is going to take shape we do not know. We will find out in the coming weeks though as the title situation comes to a conclusion.

As Gallagher leaves, we head to the commentary team at ringside. They are hyped for next month's historic show. Mauro Ranallo explains that this will be English Pro Wrestling's biggest show in it's history. It WILL be a 30,000 but there are very limited tickets available if fans still want to attend. Nigel McGuinness remembers being at the very first EPW show in Southampton at the Guildhall in front of under 2,000 fans. It was a very special night but he is certain that this will be on a whole new level. It is also announced that we will have two musical performances on the night. The first will be Kano performing the EPW Live theme song 'This Is England'. The White Stripes will also be in attendance performing for the crowd.

#1 Contender's Tournament Final
Nixon Newell vs. Pollyanna Peppers

We get a recap of the highlights of the tournament with a video to the sound of Kideko's 'Crank It'. The commentary team really put over that the winner of this will go on to challenge Kay Lee Ray at the company's biggest show in history. Both women seem focused and are really methodical in the early stages trying not to give too much away. The two exchange some holds on the mat. The pace gets faster until they both roll out on to their feet to a round of applause. The offence eventually gets uglier with some rather stiff strikes. Nixon gets the first high-impact move when she gets a knee up and manages to pull off a Tornado DDT followed by a Springboard Leg Drop for a two count. She stays in control for a whole until Pollyanna ducks a Clothesline attempt to send her opponent groggy with a Discus Forearm. Over the course of the next ten or so minutes, the two competitors fight amongst each other and it's just too hard to pick out any one with a clear advantage. Newell goes for a Frankensteiner off the ropes. The crowd are stunned as Peppers shows some real power and counters it in to a Release Powerbomb for a near fall of her own. As the match continues, you can see both women are tired however they are both too stubborn and full of pride to let the opportunity at stake slip through their fingers. Pollyanna is in control. She hooks her opponent up for the T-Bone Suplex. Nixon elbows out at the last second, gets a boot to the gut and pulls off the Welsh Destroyer. The fans count along once the ex-champ hooks the leg but are shocked as Pollyanna kicks out. The aggressor is not done though. Newell begins to deliver some shoot kicks to the chest to set up for the Shining Wizard. As she charges forward, Peppers ducks and then executes the Vertebreaker out of nowhere to a huge pop. She holds on for the pin. The fans in Derby count along again. Once again, we see a kick out. These two just won't give up. Pollyanna tries to set up for another Vertebreaker. It is her finishing move and she is unsure what she has left in the tank. As she does, Newell escapes and boots her in the gut to set up for another Welsh Destroyer. She jumps for the front flip but before she drops for the Piledriver, Peppers forces her shoulders down for a pin. Pollyanna pulls back on both legs. The official counts a three and we are done. Nixon kicked out but it was a mini second too late. It takes both women a while to get to their feet and they are treated to a round of applause when they are up. The former champion appears disappointed she couldn't kick out of that final fall. She is forced to watch on as Pollyanna celebrates her win on the turnbuckles. When she gets down though, Nixon shows tremendous sportsmanship by shaking her hand and then raising it in front of the appreciative Derby crowd.

Jim Smallman warms up the fans for the main event. Before the competitors make their way down to the ring, William Regal makes his way down to ringside to join the commentary team. He told us he wanted a front row seat for the execution of Trent Seven and Tyler Bate...

No Holds Barred Tornado Tag Team Match
Trent Seven and Tyler Bate vs. Martin Stone and Jimmy Havoc

This match is an all-out brawl. The faces make their way out first and get individual entrances. Jimmy Havoc brings down a trash can full of weapons. Martin Stone simply brings down an old, battered-up cricket bat which looks like it could do its fair share of damage. It doesn't seem uneasy as they meet in the ring. They have one aim in mind; to cause as much damage to British Strong Style as humanly possible. Seven and Bate take their time making their way down so eventually Stone and Havoc go down to fetch them. The brawl spills out around ringside with both teams getting their share of offence in the opening minutes. Once we make it to the ring, Stone and Havoc maintain control. The Guvnor holds Tyler Bate in place whilst the newcomer climbs to the top rope and dives on top of him with a Double Foot Stomp. We then see Trent Seven attempt a Lariat on Havoc which is ducked and the hardcore superstar chokes him out with a Sleeper Hold. Stone looks impressed as he nods in approval. He throws Havoc a stapler so he can show the EPW fans his brand of entertainment. Havoc then proceeds to drive staples in to the head of his opponents with a grin on his face. The heels eventually scarper out to the floor and try to sort each other out whilst the faces get the crowd chanting the name of the promotion. Seven and Bate try to leave again. Each time they are dragged back in and beaten down some more. William Regal can't help but wince at ringside. McGuinness asks if the commissioner is regretting seeing his talent go through such pain which is met with an evil grin. After all, these two along with Pete Dunne are taking the company's main title hostage. Martin Stone is keeping his opponents busy in the ring whilst Jimmy Havoc sets up a table with light-tubes on top of it on the outside. He eventually re-joins them all in the ring. After a few more minutes of being beaten down, Tyler Bate manages to counter a Rope-Hung DDT by Martin Stone and then nails him with several shots with the cricket bat. The 20-year old prodigy then kicks him in the groin and executes the Tyler Driver '97 to floor him for a near fall. British Strong Style forge a comeback of sorts as they focus on Havoc whilst Stone recovers. The death match wrestler thrives on this 2-on-1 disadvantage though. He grabs a kendo stick and starts swinging. Eventually, Havoc pulls Trent Seven on to the apron and teases a Death Valley Driver through the previously set up table. Tyler Bate reaches out to save his partner with a punch between the legs. Seven and Bate re-group and then put Havoc through the table with a Double Powerbomb. This has majorly backfired for the babyfaces. British Strong Style shout at William Regal as the arena explodes in to boos. They then re-enter the ring to finish off Martin Stone. The Guvnor has a cricket bat in hand though and looks ready for a fight. As Stone looks set to cave his rival's skulls in, he is jumped from behind by what seems to be a fan in an El Ligero mask who has jumped the guard rail. Security go to run in however the supposed fan rips the mask off to reveal himself as Pete Dunne. Everyone is shocked. That certainly doesn't look like a man with an injured neck! William Regal rips his headset off immediately and rises to his feet. He quickly drops Stone with the Bitter End before demanding Trent Seven make the cover. Tyler Bate then shoves the official down to make the count and the three is counted. British Strong Style have stolen another victory. As the bell rings, Pete Dunne rips his hoody off to reveal the EPW British National Championship around his waist. He then tears it off and hoists it high in the air whilst staring right at William Regal.

William Regal doesn't look as annoyed as you figured he would be. The commissioner quickly grabs a microphone and tells Pete Dunne that he just made the biggest mistake of his life. After being asked what he's gonna do, Regal explains that his actions tonight are evidence that he is fit enough to defend his title and he will do so right now. The Bruiserweight is not happy. His allies try to calm him down. Regal tells the referee to stand up, the security to get rid of Trent Seven and Tyler Bate and... JACK GALLAGHER TO COME ON DOWN! The fans explode as Gallagher sprints down the aisle.

EPW British National Championship
Pete Dunne © vs. Jack Gallagher

This match was meant to take place next month however the reigning champion cannot be trusted for any longer with the gold. As the bell rings, The Extraordinary Gentleman wipes him out with a Running Takedown. He then hammers down on him with several rights as Dunne squirms away. The Bruiserweight still has a look of shock. His master plan is slipping through his fingers. As he gets up, Gallagher charges forward for the Gentleman's Dropkick. Dunne ducks the move. He then follows up with a Rolling Release Suplex and starts stomping on the hand of the challenger. The fans boo as Dunne looks at them in disgust. In the meantime, William Regal is leading security who are dragging Seven and Bate to the backstage area. The champ continues the joint manipulation by stomping on Gallagher's hand on the steel steps. He then applies the Kimura Lock. Gallagher refuses to quit though. As he escapes, Dunne scoops him up for the Bitter End however Gallagher lands on his feet. The Extraordinary Gentleman goes to grab the foot for the Achilles Lock. As he tries to apply the hold, Pete Dunne sees only one way out and kicks Gallagher in the groin. The Bruiserweight then quickly grabs the title belt and cracks Gallagher in the skull with it, forcing the referee to reluctantly disqualify the champ. Dunne has taken the coward's way out. He immediately bails from the ring and flees up the ramp as the fans in attendance boo the roof off the building. A furious Jack Gallagher climbs to his feet. He starts kicking at the bottom rope in anger. The champion has disappeared like a thief in the night and is still in possession of the EPW British National Championship. How much longer can this go on?

As with the past couple of weeks, the Reloaded card looks to be good ones.

Nice to see a working relationship of some kind with you and CJ and benefits both sides. His guys stay active and they can contribute to your product, and was a good addition to the match. Wondering if the heat between Ospreay and Okada will lead to anything.

Regal’s decision to remove Williams from the building might seem like a good idea, however I have the feeling it might not matter.

Even with the loss, gotta give it to Di Matteo. Big effort from her tonight.

Cruz stole another one, but a bit unsure of what just happened post-bell.

Feel bad for the Coffee Bros these days.

Tournament final could have gone either way and so far the show stealer. Could have gone either way on the decision, but good luck to Pollyana when she gets her shot.

For a moment there it looked like Regal was going to get the last laugh, or at the very least get the upper hand on matters involving the top championship but Dunne just gave him and the fans the double bird. Not sure how much longer this can go on, but the better question is how much longer can the fans put up with it?

Holy Dream Match for an opener! CHAOS v. Leaders of the New School was a fantastic and hot opener. God damn it, Ospreay, you just couldn't take the advice from the longest modern day champ? C'mon buddy, you need a win. Ospreay's growing desperation and hot headedness to score a victory is a really well told story, as that's been his downfall to get a victory. Good win for Scurll and Sabre.

Ligero/Cruz was really good, but their first encounter was better imo. Man, Cruz knows how to compete wrestle to the stip of the 15 title. I don't think he's ever dropping that darn belt, and I am 100% okay with that. lol. I hope I didn't miss anything between Ligero and Mandrews, I was half expecting Mandrews to "accidentally" cost Ligero the match like he did to him at the last Live event. Mastiff needs to take his sinkin' paws off Cruz's belt! Cool moment though, as it looks like we got our 15 Title match set for the big show.

Excellent promo from Jimmy Havoc. Him coming to EPW is certainly a game changer, and freshens the roster up going forward. Plenty of new fresh matches, and styles clashes. BTW, have Havoc and Scurll ever wrestling, IRL? I'm sure they have, I just picture them having pretty great chemistry together whether against one another or teaming together.

Gallagher/Dar was a great technical display of skills between two of the most sound guys on the roster. Gallagher continues to build momentum heading into his championship. This was probably the MOTN for me. Shocked Dar lasted so long in the submission at the end there, considering his place on the roster. Heel Dar > Face Dar, so hopefully his new alignment with Tartan Rebellion and with how well he hung with #1 contender, he's in line for a push post #50.

The White Stripes at #50 is just TOO SWEET!

Awesome main event brawl, with Havoc really winning over the crowd and getting his stuff over in his debut even despite it being in a losing effort. The image of Martin Stone walking out with a cricket bat is honestly pretty fucking bad ass. Bate and Seven are perfect in this environment as the chicken shit heels. I could just picture their facial reactions throughout. lol. Cool finish with Dunne interfering in the El Ligero mask. Dunne has got to be the most hated man in sports, the faking of the injury was really good stuff!

Quick little sprint between Dunne and Gallagher that worked as a preview to their upcoming match, and hardly giving anything away. Dunne getting himself DQ'ed was beautiful in a dick bag heel kind of way which Dunn is perfect for the role. Stoked for the championship showdown to finally happen though. Both guys have been built up perfectly and this feel legit like the biggest main event for EPW heading into #50.

Overall another solid show from EPW. The angle at the end really put this show over the top for me though. The build to We Are London in this show was all incredibly well done. Good stuff, Joe!
