RELOADED MATCH #1: Viper, Pollyanna Peppers & The Dark Horses defeated Sienna & The Demonic Sisterhood in a 4-on-3 Handicap Match after The Vixen of Violence dropped Bea Priestley with the Viper Driver. This was meant to be an 8 Woman Tag Team Match however Kay Lee Ray decided to no-show. RELOADED MATCH #2: Marty Scurll defeated RJ Singh via submission with the Crossface Chickenwing. The Villain won within three minutes. After the bell, the inaugural champion was passed a microphone and told the fans that he wasn't going to turn up for work if the commissioner wasn't going to give him suitable competition. RELOADED MATCH #3: Will Ospreay defeated Jimmy Havoc and Zack Gibson via pinfall in a Triangle Match when The Aerial Assassin countered the Shankley Gates and then executed the Oscutter on Liverpool's Number One for the three count. The show closed with the victor celebrating on the turnbuckles. EPW Live #90: When The Saints March In Once Reloaded wraps up, the two-hour special broadcast of Live opens with a video recap of last week's episode showing Big Damo and Rampage Brown having an in-ring face off ahead of their Title Unification Match. We also saw Doug Williams and Alex Shane make a one-night return to the ring to defeat The Front Office with a little assist from Pete Dunne, Travis Banks finally accepted the challenge laid out by Mark Haskins, Dave Mastiff took out his tag team partner Iestyn Rees in the backstage area, Chris Brookes scored a win over Chief Deputy Dunne and EPW British Women's Champion Dahlia Black was victorious in singles action. Tonight's show comes from the venue where the very first English Pro Wrestling show took place over 12 year ago; the Southampton Guildhall. The historic venue is sold out this evening with Mauro Ranallo, Nigel McGuinness and Joe Hendry on hand to welcome the viewing audience. They quickly run down the scheduled card which includes The Anti-Fun Police defending their EPW British Tag Team Championships against The C.C.K, Nixon Newell challenges Dahlia Black for the EPW British Women's Champion Dahlia Black for the belt, Travis Banks puts his Battle For The Briefcase at stake when he finally takes on Mark Haskins in singles action, Pete Dunne battles The Front Office in a 2-on-1 Handicap Match and in the main event; EPW British Undisputed Championship Big Damo vs. EPW British Hardcore Champion Rampage Brown in a Last Man Standing Title Unification Match. Travis Banks vs. Mark Haskins (with Vicky Haskins) (If Banks loses, Haskins wins the briefcase) This rivalry has been brewing for a couple of months now with The Hellbent Anti-Hero slowly attempting to goad The Kiwi Buzzsaw in to putting his guaranteed title shot on the line. The New Zealand warrior refused to bite at first however after being attacked himself and then seeing his tag team partner beaten down by his arch-enemy, he finally accepted the challenge. He stomps down the aisle with the support of the sell-out crowd. Travis Banks looks like he means business when he reaches the ring and passes the briefcase down to ringside. Mark Haskins slowly saunters down to ringside with his eyes fixated on his rival. His wife is in his corner. The Malvern based heel is pelted with boos, jeers and insults as he climbs up the turnbuckles and raises his arms above his head. As soon as he hops down to the canvas, Banks charges at him to clip him with a Running Corner Dropkick. Haskins cowers in the corner but is hammered with several strikes in the corner. The referee drags Travis away and his opponent takes the opportunity to dive forward for a take down. The Hellbent Anti-Hero throws some punches of his own. He tries to drag up his nemesis but is shoved away. The Kiwi Buzzsaw wipes him out with a Spinning Backfist. When he tries to follow up with a Pendulum Elbow, the cowardly antagonist quickly rolls to safety at ringside for a breather. Vicky Haskins tries to help her husband. Banks then slides out to ringside. He is approached by the valet of his opponent and she raises her arm to slap him. Travis catches the arm before pushing her away. As he turns back round to his opponent, he is blasted with a Discus Forearm and is rolled back in the ring. Haskins then executes a Shooting Star Press before transitioning in to the Star Armbar. We haven't seen him apply this hold in a few months. He cranks back the arm. The New Zealand warrior eventually finds a way out and manages to take his enemy's head off with a shoot kick to the skull. Banks locks on his signature submission; the Lion's Clutch. Haskins yells out in pain. The Kiwi Buzzsaw pulls back on the hold. Just before The Hellbent Anti-Hero can tap out, his wife pulls him closer to the ropes from ringside to allow him to break the hold. The official orders her to the back. Vicky Haskins reluctantly marches to the back. She could have made the difference here though. Travis Banks lifts his opponent for his signature move; the Kiwi Crusher. Mark Haskins manages to escape, pulls off a nasty looking Chop Block and applies the Low Sharpshooter. The finishing submission is locked on. The former EPW British Tag Team Champion looks around for a way out. He reaches out for the ropes but he is to far away. Banks begins to struggle and eventually powers out. Haskins tries to apply the hold again before being pushed away. The Kiwi Buzzsaw then nails the Spinning Torture Rack Slam on the rebound to a huge pop. The pinfall is made. The referee counts. His opponent kicks out just before two. Nobody can quite believe it. Nigel McGuinness questions if anybody has ever kicked out of Travis Banks' finisher. The fiery babyface lifts his rival up for the Kiwi Crusher. Mark Haskins manages to deliver a few knees on the way up so he can escape. The wiley heel then shoves Banks forward to knock the referee down. The official was accidentally clocked with a forearm. The two then nail each other with a Running Clothesline to put them on level footing. As they slowly find their feet, TK Cooper runs down to ringside with a steel chair in hand and an eye on Mark Haskins. The Hellbent Anti-Hero begs for forgiveness after beating the unlucky babyface up in the backstage area two weeks ago. He isn't looking for an apology though and swings the chair. Haskins ducks. Cooper accidentally floors Banks. The interfering party is then nailed with a Low Blow before being nailed with the chair himself. The heel sees his opportunity. After throwing the chair out to ringside, he locks on the Low Sharpshooter again and his opponent fades. The official eventually shows signs of life. He crawls up. After seeing that Travis Banks is unconscious, he calls for the bell. Mark Haskins is victorious. The crowd break out in to boos as he is awarded the briefcase. TK Cooper sits out at ringside with his head in his hands. He debates whether to approach his partner but chooses to head to the back instead with his head down. In the mean time, Haskins cannot believe his luck. He takes to the turnbuckles to lift the briefcase above his head. The Hellbent Anti-Hero now has a guaranteed shot at the EPW British Undisputed Championship whenever he chooses to take it. Travis Banks is now left with nothing. Jennifer Louise catches up with Rampage Brown in the locker room who has just arrived. The EPW British Hardcore Champion looks ready for the task at hand in tonight's main event. He is asked what his game plan is going in to a match with an unstoppable force like Big Damo. Rampage tells us that no man in this locker room has ever intimidated him, especially the reigning EPW British Undisputed Champion. He has been kicking ass and taking names in English Pro Wrestling for a year and a half now and he doesn't intend on stopping anytime soon. Tonight two titans will march down to the ring and we will witness one of the most hellacious brawls in the history of this company. There can only be one monster left standing. The Master of the Piledriver promises that he will be the man unifying the two belts and walking out with the gold around his waist. Jennifer Louise then thanks the powerhouse from Leeds for his time before leaving him to warm up for his match in the locker room. EPW British Women's Championship Dahlia Black (c) vs. Nixon Newell The first champion of the modern era has been hell bent on gaining back the respect that she once had when she had the gold around her waist. This has seen a definite change in attitude meaning she will resort to any measures to gain the victory. Nixon Newell won a six-woman Beat The Clock Challenge to earn herself a shot at the EPW British Women's Championship a few weeks ago on Reloaded and her mission has been to get in to the champion's head ever since. The fans do not give the #1 contender a warn welcome. She doesn't seem too fussed though. Dahlia Black gets a huge cheer when she walks out on to the stage to the sound of 'Keep It 100'. The reigning EPW British Women's Champion marches down the aisle with her arms spread wide to high five the fans either side of her. As she reaches the end of the ramp, her challenger wipes her out with a Somersault Senton over the ropes to kick this match off. The Welsh Destroyer then tenaciously throws her prey in to the steel steps. Newell hooks the leg after the champ back in to the ring but it is a kick out at one. She is going to have to do a lot more than that to keep her opponent down. The aggressor follows up with some knife-edge chops in the corner, a Slingshot Suplex and then a Running Leg Drop for another pin. It is a kick out at two this time. Nixon then drags Black up to her feet to hammer her with some heavy-duty elbows to the skull. The champion responds with several of her own before delivering a knee smash to the gut and a Running Leg Lariat. The challenger attempts to regain momentum with a Clothesline. She is dragged down in to a Kneeling Fujiwara Armbar. This is the submission that put Jinny Couture away last month. Newell finds her way to the ropes to break the hold. As the referee pulls Dahlia back, The Welsh Destroyer capitalises with a boot to the jaw. The champion begins to bleed from the mouth. The commentary team think she may have bitten her tongue by accident. Whilst the champion staggers around with blood pouring from her mouth, Nixon approaches to drop her with a Double Knee Facebreaker. Black sits up. The #1 contender blasts her with the Shining Wizard. The finisher has put away many of the women's locker room. The former champ hooks the leg. Jessika Car counts. Dahlia manages to kick out just before three. The former fan favourite argues that the count wasn't quick enough. The referee sticks to her decision though. The all-rounder from Wales turns back round to continue her beat down. She sets up for the Front Flip Piledriver. Newell jumps over but the champion holds on and then counters in to a Double Leg Slam. The New Zealand Beauty regains momentum. The two regain their footing and begin to trade elbows once again. The Welsh Destroyer attempts a Discus Elbow Smash. Her opponent ducks. Dahlia then nails the Eat Defeat followed by a Running Powerslam in to the turnbuckles. Whilst the crowd cheer her on, Black takes to the turnbuckles and pulls off her finishing move; the Dark Side Of The Moonsault. The leg is hooked. Jessika Carr counts three. Dahlia Black retains the EPW British Women's Championship once again in another match of the night contender. Once she has recovered, she is passed her belt and then celebrates her win in front of the cheering Southampton fans. Jennifer Louise is standing by in the backstage area with Muscle, Steel and Sex Appeal. The arrogant pairing haven't been featured much over the past couple of months and haven't had much in the way of wins as of late. The question is posed of their future as a tag team. As many may know, rumours have circulated that the duo may be going their separate ways. Josh Bodom is quick to nip this 'rag sheet bull sh*t' in the bud. He says things between the two have never been as good as they now and now is the time they make an impact in the tag team division. Nathan Cruz now takes over. The Prima Donna declares that 'the most dashing studs' in the locker are about to take their rightful place at the top of the tag team division. Whether it's The Anti-Fun Police or The C.C.K, they want the next shot at the belts. They're done waiting around for opportunities. It's now the time they took them for themselves. EPW British Tag Team Championships The Anti-Fun Police (c) vs. The C.C.K The #1 contenders beat out three other teams to earn themselves this shot at the gold. The fiery babyfaces have been hot on the heels of a title shot for a long time however now is their big chance to finally take their place at the top of the division. The fans are definitely behind them as they make their way down to the ring for action. As they step up to the turnbuckles, they look fired up for the task ahead. The C.C.K then turn when 'No Fun' by Hot Tag Media Works blares over the speakers. The champions walk out to plenty of boos. Literally nobody in the Southampton Guildhall wants to see them victorious this evening. Once they reach the apron, they hold the gold up above their head in full view of the crowd who boo them even more. The match begins with Ryan Smile and Chris Brookes trading holds in the middle of the ring. It is Brookes who gets the upper hand. Chief Deputy Dunne is then tagged in. He tries to match up to Brookes but is out-wrestled too. The leader of The Anti-Fun Police pulls off an underhanded Low Dropkick to turn the tables. He then follows up with a Sitout DDT transitioned in to a Camel Clutch. His partner then leans over to tag himself in, run the ropes and pull off a Seated Dropkick for the two count. The Superintendent slaps Brookes as he tries to find his feet. The catch king attempts a gut kick. Smile catches it but is clocked with an Enzuiguri. Brookes dives over to tag in his partner. Kid Lykos flies in with a Missile Dropkick. He follows up with a Dropkick, a Japanese Arm Drag and a Wheelbarrow Bulldog. The crowd are on their feet when he bravely attempts a top-rope move. Smile catches him off guard with an Avalanche Frankensteiner before tagging back out. Chief Deputy Dunne storms in and immediately stomps down on Lykos. He tosses the high-flyer in to the corner to deliver some overhand chops straight after. Dunne then drops him with a Springboard DDT for another two count for the champions. The straight-laced heel stays in control for a little while. He tries to lift Lykos for a Vertical Suplex but the masked man escapes and runs the ropes to pull off a Running Single Leg Dropkick. Lykos tags in his partner. Chris Brookes steps through the ropes and The C.C.K pull off an Aided Brainbuster for a two count of their own. He then locks on the Octopus Stretch. This submission put away Dunne in singles action last week. The leader of The Anti-Fun Police looks close to tapping out before Ryan Smile tags himself in. Brookes is unaware of the tag. Smile pulls off a German Suplex and then follows up with a Frog Splash for a near fall. The Superintendent riles up the crowd for a moment before attempting to nail Brookes with his own finisher; the Yakuza Kick. Smile charges at him. Brookes moves and rolls him up in to a School Boy. The referee counts two. Kick out by the champion. The Superintendent quickly rolls over to tag out to his partner. One thing the champs are doing well are tagging in and out frequently. Dunne waffles Brookes with a Running European Uppercut as soon as he steps in. He calls for his partner to step in and it looks like they are setting up to finish this. The Anti-Fun Police have Chris Brookes in position for the Killjoy Superkick. They charge forward. He manages to duck and the champions kick each other in the shins instead. Kid Lykos suddenly springs off the ropes to take Ryan Smile down with a Springboard Hurricanrana. The challengers are in pole position now. Chief Deputy Dunne is scooped up by Brookes and Lykos nails him with the Wheelbarrow Basement Dropkick. He holds on for the pin. The referee counts three. The Southampton Guildhall goes ballistic. The C.C.K have finally climbed to the top of the tag team division and are the new EPW British Tag Team Champions. They immediately fall to their knees as they are showered with 'C.C.K, C.C.K, C.C.K' chants from the crowd. After the referee hands them the belts, they have their arms raised and take to the turnbuckles to celebrate. The Anti-Fun Police make a slow walk back through the curtain without the belts. They can't even bring themselves to look back at the newly crowned champions. Jennifer Louise is in the backstage area with Will Ospreay for an interview. The Aerial Assassin scored a big win in a Triangle Match over Jimmy Havoc and Zack Gibson earlier this evening on Reloaded. He wants to take us back on a journey down memory lane all the way back to EPW Live #1. Ospreay was victorious in the main event against Rockstar Spud and ushered in the new era of English Pro Wrestling. 90 weeks on he's had his ups and he has definitely had his downs however he believe it is time for his opportunity. He isn't asking to just be given a title shot but he has been picking up wins weeks after week with no sign of any upwards momentum. The Aerial Assassin then sends a message to the commissioner to just give him a chance to earn a shot at the EPW British Undisputed Championship. Jennifer Louise thanks Will Ospreay for his time and we head back to the ring for our preliminary contest. 2-on-1 Handicap Match Pete Dunne vs. The Front Office Since The Bruiserweight's unexpected return to the company, William Regal has made it his mission to run him out of English Pro Wrestling once again and has proven that he is willing to use any resource necessary to do so. The commissioner has enlisted the help of Dave Finlay and Robbie Brookside to act as his 'front office' so that can deal with any issues any way that they see fit. They managed to beat down Pete Dunne at the close of EPW Live #88 however the former champion got his own back the following week by nailing them with his trademark sledgehammer whilst the referee is down. Before the entrants can make their way down to the ring, Jim Smallman announces that the following contest will be conducted under Regal's Rules meaning that it will be no holds barred for Finlay and Brookside but Pete Dunne will be forced to wrestle under the normal rules. The fans are not happy at the announcement. They direct their boos at The Front Office who make their way down to the ring to the sound of 'Regality' by Jim Johnston. The veterans are decked out in all black clothing. As they reach the apron, they have no problem yelling insults right back at the fans in the front row. The mood changes when 'Bruiserweight' by CFO$ blares over the speakers. Dunne begins to march down to the ring when he is jumped from behind by Dave Mastiff. The Bastard From The Black Country throws the enemy of the authority back first in to the ring apron before thrusting him in to the barricade. Once Dunne finds his feet, he is rammed straight through the steel barricade with a Running Spear. The 315lb monster looks happy with himself. He may have just gotten himself back in the good graces of the boss with that pre-meditated attack. The big man throws The Bruiserweight in to the ring so that the referee can actually ring the bell. Finlay and Brookside pounce on him like a pack of dogs. Whilst Dunne is down in the corner, The Belfast Bruiser and The Wildcat both take turns to stomp a mud hole in to the renegade. Finlay executes the Rolling Hills followed by a Double Foot Stomp. Brookside then throws him neck first on to the top rope with a Hot Shot. The two stooges then place Dunne up on the turnbuckles so that Brookside can attempt his finisher; the Iconoclasm. As he goes to execute it, the fiery rebel kicks the veteran in the back of the head and then takes both men down with a Diving Double Clothesline. The fans light up as he gives each of them a Pop-Up European Uppercut and a Forearm Smash. He then launches Finlay in to the turnbuckles with a German Suplex before delivering a Vertical Suplex Powerbomb for a two count on Brookside. Dunne is now in control. He must not allow himself to be overwhelmed by the numbers game though. The longest reigning EPW British National Champion grabs at the fingers of Finlay. The fans actually cheer him on as he bends them all the way back. He then throws his arm down to the canvas and stomps on his hand with ruthless intentions. Brookside is now up. After running at his opponent, he is thrown straight on to his arse with a Hip Toss which is transitioned in to a Kimura Lock. The submission is locked on. The Wildcat yells out for help however his partner is in a heap at ringside clutching his hand in agony. It looks as though Dunne is going to snap his opponent's arm here. Suddenly, there is a commotion behind the commentary desk and the camera cuts to Joe Hendry ripping off his headset. The Prestigious One folds up the steel chair he is sat on, slides in to the ring and hammers the aggressor with it. Boos echo around the arena once again. He then throws the chair down on to the canvas and begins to stomp down repeatedly on The Bruiserweight. We haven't seen Hendry get physical yet in English Pro Wrestling due to injury. It appears that he has aligned himself with William Regal's 'front office' as the two of them slowly find their feet. A 3-on-1 attack ensues. The official cannot disqualify either Finlay or Brookside though due to the match being contested under Regal's Rules. Hendry drops Dunne with the Olympic Slam before making his exit from the ring and then up the aisle. It doesn't look like The Prestigious One will be returning to the broadcast table tonight. Finlay now hooks the leg whilst Brookside demands the referee counts the fall. He reaches two. The Bruiserweight finds the strength to kick out. The fans go nuts but The Front Office still repeatedly beat down on Dunne whilst he tries to find his feet. He slouches back in to the corner. Brookside charges at him for a Running Spear but misses and flies straight in to the ring post. Dunne then wipes Finlay out with a Running Clothesline, a Scoop Slam in to the turnbuckles and a Rolling Release Suplex. Brookside staggers out from the corner to be dropped with his opponent's finisher; the Bitter End. The Wildcat is kicked out to ringside. The Bruiserweight then lifts Finlay up only to drill him back in to the canvas with a variation on his usual finisher; the Better End. He hooks the leg. The referee counts three. Pete Dunne has beaten the odds and won the handicap match. Joe Hendry walks out with Dave Mastiff following him. They approach Dunne who is having his arm raised. The rebel soon sees them walking down the aisle so quickly slides out of the ring and pulls his sledgehammer out. They take a couple of steps back however The Bruiserweight is spilling for a fight. Hendry and Mastiff slowly back away but can be heard telling Dunne that they will be back for him. As they disappear back through the curtain, the victor swings the sledgehammer over his shoulder and makes his way up the aisle towards the backstage area. 'Without You' by Netsky is played over the speakers to which TK Cooper makes his entrance to the ring. The high-flyer from New Zealand made his return this evening with revenge on Mark Haskins in mind however accidentally clocked his partner and best friend Travis Banks with the steel chair to cost him the match. His head is down as he reaches the ring and he requests a microphone to address the fans in Southampton. Cooper admits that he thought that he was having a terrible run of luck however what happened earlier on has made him rethink whether he is just unlucky or whether he just can't cut it in this company. When he arrived here, he rode a wave of success in a tag team with his best friend with them climbing to the very top of the division. He also has recently watched his girlfriend go from being his valet at ringside to becoming the EPW British Women's Champion. Everyone he knew has been a success breaking out on their own except him. TK believes that he is a weak link and then reveals that he is considering the future of his career. This statement is met with boos. The fans don't want to see him go. Despite his bad run of form, he is still a firm favourite amongst the crowds up and down the country. The sound of 'Close Your Eyes' by Run The Jewels interrupts the former EPW British Tag Team Champion's address and out walks The Aussie Open from the back. The arrogant duo aren't given a very warm welcome by the crowd. Mark Davis snatches a microphone from ringside before he and Kyle Fletcher step in to confront TK Cooper. The Dunkzilla gets in his adversary's face claiming that every Kiwi is the same; an absolute coward. He claims to pull no punches and what he sees in front of him is without a doubt the Marty Jannetty of The South Pacific Power Trip. As his partner laughs along, Davis tells Cooper to take his ball and go home because nobody wants him here. The Aussie Arrow waves bye to TK Cooper. He wants to argue back but is then attacked by the Australian born tag team. They stomp a mud hole in to their newfound enemy before they set up for the Assisted Pop-Up Powerbomb. Just before they can execute it, Travis Banks charges down the aisle and the attackers quickly flee the ring. They want no part of The Kiwi Buzzsaw who is fuming. Banks soon picks up a microphone and tells his friend that there is no weak link in The South Pacific Power Trip and everything they achieved, they achieved together. The crowd cheer in unison. The New Zealand warrior knows that his partner's actions tonight were completely unintentional. He then holds out his hand before ordering his former co-champion to shake it. TK Cooper does so and the Southampton fans are all for it. The South Pacific Power Trip show their united front once again. The segment ends with them leaving together. Last Man Standing Title Unification Match Big Damo (c) vs. Rampage Brown These two men are arguably the two most destructive forces in the history of this company. At a combined weight of 570lbs, it is going to be like two freight trains colliding in to one another when they meet in the ring. Tonight the EPW British Hardcore Championship will be unified in to the EPW British Undisputed Championship with the winner walking out with the most prestigious prize in the country. Rampage Brown marches down the aisle to a great ovation from the crowd. The EPW British Hardcore Champion earned this opportunity by winning a Six Pack Challenge at EPW Live #86 and he has promised to finally take the company's top spot after over a year and a half on the roster. This is a rare occasion where he will be the smaller man in the contest with his opponent having a 70lb weight advantage over him. Big Damo stomps down to the sound of 'Beast' by Neil McDougall. The fans boo him down to the ring but The Beast From Belfast is more bothered about the match ahead. Mauro Ranallo says it best when he claims that 'only one monster will be left standing at the end of this one'. There's no pinfalls, no submissions, no disqualifications and no countouts. The man who can knock their opponent down for the ten count will be crowned the EPW British Undisputed Champion. The heavyweights lock up in the middle of the ring. They shove each other around however to everybody's surprise it is Rampage Brown who shoves Big Damo in to the corner. The competitors lock up once again. This time the 320lb+ monster kicks his opponent in the gut and hammers down on his spine with a Double Axe Handle. He then runs the ropes to attempt to wipe him out with a Running Low Crossbody. The powerhouse from Leeds catches him before dropping him with a Scoop Slam. Rampage yells at Damo to get up. The EPW British Undisputed Champion is in shock. He approaches his adversary and blasts him with a Forearm Smash. The Master of the Piledriver responds with one of his own. Damo then clocks him with a Headbutt but Rampage hits back with one of his own. The EPW British Hardcore Champion then comes off the second rope for a Diving Double Axe Handle. Damo catches him and then bails him over the ropes with a Belly-To-Belly Suplex. The brawl has leaked to ringside. The brawler from Ireland remains in control for a little while. He throws Rampage in to the barricade before running him in to the steel steps with a Running Shoulder Tackle. He then pulls the top off of the announce table at ringside. Ranallo and McGuinness make the wise decision to step away for a moment whilst Damo sets up for a move through the table. The Beast From Belfast puts his opponent through the table with a Jacknife Powerbomb. As Damo yells out a battle cry, Rampage lies amongst the destruction at ringside. The referee is then ordered to count which he does. The powerhouse from Leeds begins to show signs of movement at five. His opponent looks shocked and grabs the EPW British Hardcore Championship from ringside. As the official counts seven, Rampage is up and Damo looks to clock him with the belt. He ducks the shot before scooping the Irish brawler up on to his shoulder. Rampage runs him head first in to the ringpost with all of his power and then executes a Running Powerslam on to the floor below. He doesn't look done yet though. The referee begins his count. Damo begins to get up at four. In the mean time, Rampage has been launching steel chairs in to the ring. He then slides in and grabs one reading for his opponent's arrival. Damo then rolls back in. He is hammered across the skull with the chair immediately. After holding his head for a moment, he wipes some blood from his brow and flicks his hair back. He ducks a second chair shot. This time the man beast picks up a chair of his own and hammers Rampage with it. The Master of the Piledriver staggers back in to the turnbuckles however he is not floored by the shot either. We are dealing with the heaviest hitters in English Pro Wrestling here. It is chair shot after chair shot. Neither man will go down at first. Eventually Rampage gets the upper hand with a shot to each arm, the spine and then a diving shot from the second rope to send his opponent crashing down to the canvas. The referee begins to count again. Rampage gets the crowd up to count along. We see signs of movement at five though so he begins to set up a stack of steel chairs by the turnbuckles. He then drags Damo over to the corner and then sits him up on to the second rope. It looks like he is setting up for the Piledriver off the second rope through this stack of chairs. This would be brutal if he can execute it. His opponent holds on to the ropes though and begins to fight back. After throwing some stiff rights, he lifts Rampage up in to an Electric Chair position. He intends on hitting the Ulster Plantation through the steel below. The fans are still up on their feet. Rampage manages to escape however both men are still fighting on the second rope. Who will fall through the stack of chairs? The two repeatedly trade punches until growing impatient and both crashing through the stack of chairs below them. They lie in utter devastation. Damo and Rampage show no signs of movement. As the referee begins his count, the sound of 'Purple City' by Joker & Ginz blares over the speakers and Mark Haskins charges down to the ring. The Hellbent Anti-Hero pushes his briefcase in to the chest of the official signifying that he wants to cash in the guaranteed title shot he won from Travis Banks earlier on. The referee reluctantly passes it out to ringside and rings the bell. Haskins hooks Damo's leg. The three is counted. Mark Haskins is the new EPW British Undisputed Champion. The arena breaks out in to jeers as the new champ drops to his knees amongst the fallen monsters that lie either side of him. This was the ultimate opportunity and he took it. The wiley heel is passed his newly won belt which is his first in his English Pro Wrestling career. His theme music plays alongside the boos aimed at him. Haskins then takes to the turnbuckles to gloat to the fans in the audience. As Damo and Rampage begin to move slightly, he decides to take his belt and leave with a huge grin on his face. He exits up the aisle with Damo slowly crawling across the canvas with a look of frustration written all over his face. Rampage is also sat in the corner holding his head in agony unhappy with what has just gone down. The show closes with Vicky Haskins joining her husband on the stage as he lifts his EPW British Undisputed Championship up in the air. |

Despite KLR no-showing, the 4 on 3 still looks good on paper given the players. Wondering how Viper confronting Regal to get him to demand KLR show up would go. If Scurll doesn’t get suitable competition I’m sure he can find some across the pond. I’m sure the boss will find him some in due time, however as the saying goes one must be careful what they wish for.Haskins better by a lottery ticket after that win. Feel bad for both Cooper and Banks. To be honest I wasn’t sure what a Banks cash in would look like, not saying it wouldn’t have worked, but he was an unexpected winner. Wondering what will happen to Banks and Cooper now. Close one with the women’s title fight. Won’t be surprised if they go at it again soon, but with some sort of special match type. Hopefully Bodom and his partner can turn things around. His initial run was good to watch and hoping he can regain steam and get back on the radar. Congratulations are in order for the new tag champs. They fought hard and earned the moment. Had a feeling Regal would attempt to stack the deck further against Dunne in addition to the numbers advantage, so the ‘Regals Rules’ stipulation is fitting. Dunne needed luck to escape with the win, but he did it. As Hendry and Mastiff stated Dunne’s not in the clear yet. With how the main event ended I think Regal has a challenger to his title of most hated man in the company, which Haskins made his claim to that crown for interrupting the unification match and cashing in. Gotta give it to him though, he saw an opportunity and took it, however I bet once they recovered both Big Damo and Rampage will be looking for him. |

I’m sure the boss will find him some in due time, however as the saying goes one must be careful what they wish for.
