EPW Live #93

Once Reloaded comes to a close, the Live broadcast begins with a video recap of last week's episode showing Zack Sabre Jr. defeating both Dave Mastiff and then Joe Hendry in individual singles matches to earn himself a shot at Mark Haskins' EPW British Undisputed Championship. We also saw Muscle, Steel and Sex Appeal call out The C.C.K, Will Ospreay defeat Noam Dar with The Aerial Assassin then falling victim to a post-match assault at the hands of Big Damo, William Regal revealed that he would be bringing in 'external contenders' until any of the current women's roster could prove themselves worthy of a title match, The Aussie Open's Mark Davis beat TK Cooper in singles action and Jack Gallagher promised that he would soon address the fans about his future. Tonight's show takes place in Winchester in front of a sold-out crowd. Mauro Ranallo and Nigel McGuinness welcome the viewing audience at home and run down the scheduled line up which includes a grudge match between The South Pacific Power Trip and The Aussie Open, Drew Galloway vs. RJ Singh, Pete Dunne takes on Will Ospreay and Mark Haskins has offered Zack Sabre Jr. the chance to pick his opponent this evening. That match will kick off the in-ring action. Before we do though, 'Regality' by Jim Johnston blares over the speakers.

William Regal marches down the aisle with Joe Hendry by his side. As they get half way down the ramp, Big Damo steps through the curtain and follows them in to the ring. The commissioner then shakes hands with both men whilst Jim Smallman hands him the microphone. The fans in attendance direct 'ASSHOLE' chants at the boss. He yells at them to show him some respect which only riles them up even more. As he tries to ignore them, Regal reveals he has a huge announcement to make regarding EPW Live #95: Winds Of Change. We already have our title match in place between Mark Haskins and Zack Sabre Jr. Whoever walks out of that bout with the gold around his waist will already have a challenger lined up to face him at the company's biggest show of the calendar year; EPW Live #100: This Is England 2. That very challenger will be contested in a 4 Corners Match consisting of both Joe Hendry and Big Damo. The Prestigious One and The Beast From Belfast look very happy at the news. Regal then welcomes out the third man in this equation. 'Elevated' by It Lives, It Breaths plays as Will Ospreay makes his way down to the ring. The Aerial Assassin makes a beeline towards Damo as soon as he steps through the ropes. The Irish heavyweight beat down the high-flyer from Essex after his match last week and the tension between these two is at an all-time high. Ospreay takes a microphone before stating that there is no man that is going to get in his way of realising his dream of becoming the EPW British Undisputed Champion. The fans cheer. They are definitely backing Ospreay. That is until they are all interrupted by the sound of 'Bruiserweight' by CFO$. Pete Dunne storms out from the backstage area and the noise throughout the building is deafening. The longest-reigning champion of the modern era has beef with every man in the ring. He gives them all a scowl before snatching the microphone from an angry William Regal's hand. Dunne tells us that he was surprised to hear that he was finally being given the opportunity to gain a chance at winning back 'his' belt. He admits to being suspicious of the commissioner's reason for putting him in the match. These suspicions are soon proven correct as Regal reveals his motive. If Dunne accepts this spot in the match, he will also be putting his job on the line as well. The Bruiserweight doesn't even have to think twice. He accepts the terms. Regal then adds the stipulation that there is a £20,000 reward if any of the other three men can pin Dunne or force him to submit. The four men look around at each other. Before leaving the ring, The Bruiserweight warns his adversaries that no amount of money is going to stop him from going on to challenge for the title because he is willing to do whatever it takes. Finally he tells Ospreay he will see him later in the ring and leaves up the aisle.

Non-Title Match
Mark Haskins (with Vicky Haskins) vs. John Morrison

We saw Zack Sabre Jr. overcome the odds last week to become the #1 contender. The determined reigning champion attacked him to close last week's episode before taking to social media to challenge his latest rival to bring any man he wanted to face him in a non-title match this week. We learned earlier today via The Technical Wizard's Twitter account that the mystery opponent would be none other John Morrison. The Guru of Greatness gets a great response from the fans on his way down to the ring. The commentary team mention that Mark Haskins welcomed his upcoming challenger for his championship to watch from ringside. It appears that Sabre Jr. has not taken him up on his invitation. The Hellbent Anti-Hero makes his way out to a chorus of boos from the Winchester crowd. Vicky Haskins is by his side and the couple don't know what to make of the man in the ring. The highlight reel from California looks keen to get this match started. The champion is reluctant though. As Morrison turns to hand his coat out to ringside, Haskins pounces and begins to beat down on his opponent. The champion then repeatedly stomps on the import in the corner. He then follows up by dropping a Dragon Screw Leg Whip, hammering down on the right leg with some stomps and following up with an Elbow Drop on to the ankle. It becomes evident in the opening minutes that the champ is targeting the legs. Nigel McGuinness predicts that he is setting up for the Low Sharpshooter later on. The submission has put away many men as of late. The Hellbent Anti-Hero locks on the Stretch Muffler but Morrison manages to force his way out with some kicks. The Shaman of Sexy then successfully follows up with a Dropkick, an STO Backbreaker and a Neckbreaker Slam for a two count. He then rallies up the crowd as he approaches for a Tilt-A-Whirl DDT. As Haskins tries to counter in to a Northern Lights Suplex, Morrison lands on his feet and then springboards off the middle rope to execute the Flying Chuck. The champ is pulled out to ringside by his wife. Vicky Haskins holds on to her husband while he recovers however quickly runs away when Morrison jumps over the ropes to deliver a Somersault Senton Dive on to his opponent. Back in the squared circle, the import from California looks like he could pull off the upset. Haskins forges a comeback all of a sudden. He nails him in the gut with a Back Kick and then nails a Pumphandle Half Nelson Driver for a two count of his own. After mounting his adversary for several right hands, he goes to apply his finishing hold; the Low Sharpshooter. Morrison rolls away at the last moment. The tables are turned when he drills the champ with an Enzuiguri and then drops him with the Moonlight Drive. The leg is hooked. The referee counts. Haskins manages to kick out right before the three. John Morrison is not done yet though. He slowly climbs up to the top rope and attempts the Starship Pain. As he lands, the wiley heel gets his knees up. The Guru of Greatness lands hard. He is in serious pain and Haskins makes things no better by locking on that Low Sharpshooter. The champion pulls back. Morrison has no other alternative than to tap out. Mark Haskins picks up the win. After releasing the hold, he is passed his belt and has his arm raised by the referee. His wife then wraps the gold around his waist. The couple leave up the aisle as the referee helps up John Morrison in the ring.

Jennifer Louise is standing by in the backstage area for an interview with The C.C.K. The EPW British Tag Team Champions are asked about their feeling on being called out last week by Muscle, Steel and Sex Appeal. Chris Brookes admits that he was impressed by what he saw of Nathan Cruz and Josh Bodom last week. The duo certainly proved that they'll do whatever it takes to pick up the win and it is teams like that the two of them are going to have to be defending their belts against if they're going to go down in history as fighting champions. The Catch King continues by claiming that doesn't just stop with Cruz and Bodom. Once they're done with them, they'll put their belts against any tag team in the locker room and even any tag team in the world. The two of them are determined to go down as not just the best pairing in the company. He finishes by telling us that he and Lykos intend on being known as the best tag team in the world. Jennifer thanks them for their time before we head back to the ring.

The South Pacific Power Trip vs. The Aussie Open
Travis Banks and TK Cooper make their way out on to the stage together to the sound of 'Keep It 100' for the first time in a long time. Both men have been competing in singles competition to mixed success as of late. The Kiwi Buzzsaw made an impact when he won a title shot by winning the Battle For The Briefcase Ladder Match back at EPW Live #75: Ascension. He unfortunately lost the golden opportunity when he put the briefcase on the line against Mark Haskins who cashed in the shot later that night to become champion. In the mean time, TK Cooper has been on a losing streak. The risk-taker from New Zealand can't find to find a strain of luck over the past few months and even managed to lose a match with the added stipulation that the loser would not be able to challenge for any championship for an entire year. The two men look more united than ever regardless of recent events. The Aussie Open have made a splash since arriving several weeks ago. They have managed to pick up a number of wins however have targeted The South Pacific Power Trip in recent weeks to ignite an Australia vs. New Zealand rivalry. 'Close Your Eyes' by Run The Jewels continues to play however there is no sign of the second team. Banks and Cooper keep their eye on the entrance way. Unbeknownst to them, Mark Davis has snuck in to the ring behind them and blasts TK Cooper with a steel chair. The match is immediately thrown out by referee Steve Lynskey who calls for assistance. Travis Banks tries to get to The Dunkzilla as he continues to throw chair shots at his downed opponents. He is wiped out by Kyle Fletcher with a chair shot from the top rope. The Australians display no remorse. They continue to beat down on their rivals before throwing Cooper out to ringside. Banks tries to find the strength to stand with assistance from the middle rope. Davis throws the chair on to the mat whilst Fletcher executes an Irish Whip. As Davis catches him on the rebound, he executes a Pop Up Powerbomb back first on to the steel below. Referees and security emerge from the back. The Aussie Open decide it is time to leave. They walk up the aisle and Kyle Fletcher can be heard yelling 'this ain't over by a long shot'. You can't argue with a statement like that after the beat down we just witnessed. The South Pacific Power Trip may have won by disqualification. This isn't the outcome they would have wanted though.

Joe Hendry is talking with Big Damo in the commissioner's office. William Regal is currently out dealing with something else but the two of them appear to be talking tactics about the 4 Corners Match in two weeks in which they are both a part of. The Prestigious One reminds him new ally that Dunne and Ospreay will never be on the same page so they should use that to their advantage and make sure that they are dealt with first. As The Beast From Belfast nods in agreement, Hendry then slowly begins to explain that because Damo has already had a reign with the EPW British Undisputed Championship then it should be his turn to challenge for the gold. Damo immediately stops the technician from Scotland in his tracks before stating that he is on the same page when it comes to making sure Dunne and Ospreay are dealt with however it is dog eat dog when it comes down to the two of them. William Regal then walks through the door. The boss looks happy and expresses his appreciation that Hendry and Damo appear to be on the same page. The Irish heavyweight then tells the commissioner to 'speak to the golden boy' about the 'big master plan'. He then leaves the room whilst Regal looks confused at what's just gone down. The commissioner doesn't want to hear an explanation from Joe Hendry. Regal simply tells him that he wants the championship belt around the waist of a member of his corporate team when EPW Live #100: This Is England 2 is over. If Pete Dunne finds a way to win the belt, he will hold Hendry personally responsible. A strong statement from the boss.

Drew Galloway vs. RJ Singh
The Bollywood Dream is already in the ring as we return from the break with a microphone in hand. The fans boo when he tries to speak. He tells them to boo all they want because tonight he will bring something to the squared circle that none of his peers can; class, diversity and excellence. This statement only brings the crowd to shower him with even more boos. RJ explains that he is now rid of The Singh Brothers because they were not worth of being in his presence. His brute of an opponent is also not worthy of sharing the ring with him either apparently. Drew Galloway then walks out to the sound of 'Wish It Away' by Psyko Dalek. Once he steps through the ropes, he flicks back his hair and stares a hole through the man standing at the opposite side of the ring from him. The bell rings. Singh charges at Galloway however is floored with a Big Boot by The Celtic Colossus. As RJ scurries to the corner, he is nailed with several knife-edge chops before being thrown to the other side of the ring. Galloway shows no mercy as he stomps on his opponent repeatedly in the opposite corner. He then pulls him out for a Short-Arm Clothesline followed by a Running Leg Drop. The fans are chanting the name of the 270lb heavyweight from Ayr, Scotland. He stretches his arms out and yells a battle cry for all to hear. His opponent then falls victim to the Scot Drop however kicks out at two. Galloway stomps down on him several more times. He then attempts to send him to ringside with a Running Big Boot however RJ pulls the rope down. Singh then springboards off the ropes to deliver a Missile Dropkick to temporarily turns the tables. As Drew finds his feet, he is sent straight back down to the canvas with a Tornado DDT for a one count. The Bollywood Dream takes to the ropes again for a high-risk move. He leaps off for a Diving Elbow Drop. Galloway moves and then nails the Claymore on the rebound. Singh staggers back up. The Celtic Colossus hooks both arms before dropping him with the Future Shock DDT. He hooks the leg and the referee counts three. Drew Galloway picks up a convincing win. His arm is raised in victory while the crowd cheer. The 6ft 5in Scotsman takes to the turnbuckles to celebrate. As he salutes the crowd, we see an image of Zack Gibson watching on from a monitor backstage shaking his head. Liverpool's Number One does not look happy and it appears he still hasn't let his loss to Galloway two weeks go.

Jack Gallagher makes his way out to the ring after the final break. The Extraordinary Gentleman is welcomed with a fine reaction in Winchester. As he is passed a microphone, he takes a look round the fans with a smile on his face before proclaiming 'oh i've missed you lot'. The people cheer the statement. They are glad to see the former champion back. He takes us back several months ago when he was victorious in the main event of the biggest show in EPW's history with the championship belt over his shoulder. Unfortunately he doesn't have the gold any more nor will he be getting another chance to repeat history. Just after Gallagher claims that he would do anything to be back in the position he was just under a year ago, 'Regality' by Jim Johnston is heard around the building. The commissioner walks down to the ring with a microphone of his own. After shaking hands in the middle of the ring, William Regal tells the former champion that he will never forget Gallagher's big win at EPW Live #50: This Is England. He then makes the ludicrous claim that it was the power he had that got him there and The Extraordinary Gentleman would be nowhere without him. The corrupted commissioner then offers his hand to Gallagher before offering him the chance to make history once again if he joins his corporate team. Winchester explodes in to boos as Gallagher thinks it over. He slowly lifts the microphone to his lips before expressing his disgust at what our once great commissioner has become. The former champion continues by declaring that the respect he once had for Mr. Regal has been replaced by revulsion. After listening to the words of his former ally, the boss warns Gallagher that he just made the wrong decision. He then leaves the ring and walks down the aisle as the crowd treat Gallagher to chants of his name. If he is going to win back his title, he isn't willing to sell out to get there. The Extraordinary Gentleman goes to leave the ring when he is dragged back in from behind by none other than Jimmy Havoc. The King of the Goths blasts him with the Acid Rainmaker. The mood turns sour. The attacker then slowly turns his head with a complete lack of expression on his face.

Pete Dunne vs. Will Ospreay
The history between these two goes back to EPW Live #85 when Pete Dunne used a sledgehammer to score a victory over Will Ospreay. The rivalry between the two was never really settled due to the controversial finish. Tonight's main event gives them the chance to finally settle this issue. Both will also be a part of the 4 Corners Match in two weeks at EPW Live #95: Winds Of Change with an EPW British Undisputed Championship shot at stake. The Aerial Assassin is treated to a great reception as he enters the ring. He looks focused for the task ahead. The man of the moment right now though is The Bruiserweight. The former most hated man in the company is now getting monster pops on arrival due to his anti-establishment stance against William Regal and his stooges. As he reaches the ring, the bell rings and they meet in the middle with some stiff right hands. We aren't going to see any chain wrestling. This is going to be a fight. The crowd is fairly neutral at this point. They cheer when Dunne catches an Ospreay punch and bends his fingers right back. As Ospreay grabs his hand in agony, he is waffled with a Pop Up European Uppercut out of nowhere. The former EPW British National Champion has taken control. His opponent tries to escape the ring but he stomps down on him to stop him from going anywhere. He then drags him up and lifts him up for an Airplane Spin. Ospreay counters in to a Japanese Arm Drag before following up with a Knee Trembler and a Bridging German Suplex for a two count. It appears that the high-flyer from Essex has realised that he's going to have to get physical to stand a chance of staying in this. He slowly lifts Dunne in to a tree of woe position on the turnbuckles. As he charges forward, he attempts the Cheeky Nandos Kick. The Bruiserweight pulls himself up at the final second and yanks his arm around the top rope in to a Kimura Lock. He is forced to release the hold at a five count though but soon floors his opponent with a European Uppercut. As Dunne regains momentum, he bends back the fingers of his enemy once again. He then launches him in to the turnbuckles with a Scoop Slam. The brawler from Birmingham is displaying why he is known as the most intense wrestlers in the world right now. As he leaps up to attempt a Double Foot Stomp, his opponent moves and then responds with a Front Flip DDT for another two count. Ospreay has found the energy to claw his way back in to this match after looking like he was going down. He hops up top for the Imploding 450 Splash. As he leaps, Dunne moves and takes the opportunity to execute the finisher; The Bitter End. The Bruiserweight hooks the leg. The referee counts. Just before the referee counts three, Ospreay gets a shoulder up. Nobody can quite believe it. Pete Dunne looks around in shock. He then beats down on the canvas in frustration before lifting his one of his many enemies up. As he goes to hook Ospreay again, the Essex born risk-taker clocks him with a Roundhouse Kick to the skull. The ex-champ staggers back. The Aerial Assassin then delivers a Handspring Enzuiguri before pulling Dunne back up to execute his own finisher; the Oscutter. The leg is hooked. The referee counts two. This time Pete Dunne kicks out at the very last moment. He wastes no time in getting back to work. Ospreay watches on while Dunne sits up on his knees and slowly climbs up. The Aerial Assassin runs up the ropes, comes back down and is clobbered in the back of the skull with a Forearm Smash. The longest reigning champion of the modern era is quick to deliver his dangerous variation of his usual finisher; the Better End. Will Ospreay lands on his head. He looks out cold as Dunne rolls over for the cover. The referee counts three. Pete Dunne is the winner. As both men lay on the canvas, Mauro Ranallo yells out 'MAMA MIA. WHAT A MATCH!' These two gave everything they had. The loser shows no signs of life however the victor slowly finds his feet to cheers from the crowd. The show comes to a close as he scowls down the camera. Pete Dunne will walk out of EPW Live #95: Winds Of Change either with a title shot or without a job. Both outcomes are game changing for The Bruiserweight.

£20,000? That’s roughtly $35,000. Normally I’d say that’s out of Regal’s character to do something like that, but with how he’s been as of late I’m surprised it’s taken this long for that to happen. With that being said however, Dunne’s a marked man, but I got the feeling he’ll be alright.

Even though Haskins picked up the win, that was a nice EPW debut match for Morrison.

TK’s bad luck continues, though at least the silver lining this time around is his team gets the winner’s share of the money.

Some tension brewing between the big man and Hendry. If Hendry’s not careful Damo will put him in his place, which I doubt Regal would approve of very much.

Interesting segment between Gallagher and Regal. The verbal exchange started off nice until Gallagher stated what we already know about Ragel’s change. Not sure if Havoc attacked on his own or not, but got a feeling Havoc and Gallagher will meet in the ring soon.

Don’t think Regal will be too happy with Dunne picking up the win tonight against Ospreay, though it could have gone either way, which it's obvious a good effort won't be enough as it's clear that Regal wants results.
