RELOADED MATCH #1: Trent Seven defeated RJ Singh via pinfall with the Seven Stars Lariat. During the match, the commentary team revealed that Tyler Bate has been struck down with an injury however they don't have many details at this moment.

RELOADED MATCH #2: Noam Dar defeated Joe Coffey via pinfall when he avoided the Discus Lariat and pulled off the Nova Roller. The crowd actually got behind The Scottish Supernova as he repeatedly kept making brave comebacks.

RELOADED MATCH #3: Zack Gibson defeated Wolfgang via submission with the Shankley Gates. Liverpool's Number One was interviewed in the ring by Jennifer Louise after the match and challenged Drew Galloway to a match next week.

EPW Live #94

Once Reloaded is finished, a video recap of last week's episode airs showing Pete Dunne defeating Will Ospreay in one-on-one competition. We also saw EPW British Undisputed Champion walk out victorious as he battled North American import John Morrison, Drew Galloway picked up a convincing singles win, The Aussie Open attacked The South Pacific Power Trip with steel chairs before the match between the two tags teams could even get started, Joe Hendry and Big Damo had a disagreement in the commissioner's office about their game plan going in to their upcoming 4 Corners Match and The C.C.K accepted the challenge posed by Muscle, Steel and Sex Appeal for an EPW British Tag Team Championship Match. Tonight's show takes place in Chichester. Mauro Ranallo and Nigel McGuinness are at ringside to welcome us and run down the evening's card. The four men that are scheduled to compete in the #1 Contender's 4 Corners Match next week will be forced to put their spots in the match on the line tonight. We will also hear from Zack Sabre Jr. just one week ahead of his title challenge against Mark Haskins.

Jim Smallman steps through the ropes to announce the first competitors down to the ring for the opening contest. Instead, he is interrupted by the sound of 'Keep It 100'. Dahlia Black walks out from the backstage area with the rest of the women's division behind her. They don't look happy at all and we are reminded by Ranallo and McGuinness of the commissioner's recent treatment of the women's division. The EPW British Women's Champion is handed the microphone whilst the crowd chant the company name at the top of their voices. She explains how proud she is to wear this belt around her waist and what an honour it is to represent this division despite the many battles, wars and disputes the women in the ring have shared over the past year or so. There's no way that they are about to roll over so William Regal can make this division an after thought especially just weeks before the biggest show in the company's history. Dahlia declares that every women in this ring has a case to get a title shot in her opinion. The champ wants an answer about the future of this division and she wants it now. The fans approve of this statement. They have been tearing it up since the launch of the women's division. 'Regality' by Jim Johnston plays. William Regal steps out on to the stage with a microphone in hand. The boss also has Joe Hendry, Dave Mastiff, Robbie Brookside and Dave Finlay by his side. He explains that he rules the roost and he isn't taking kindly to this little in-ring protest. Regal tells the women in the ring to get to the back otherwise he will have no problem firing each and every one of them. He tells Dahlia to wait in the squared circle though. The commissioner has an announcement for her. At EPW Live #95: Winds Of Change, she will be defending her gold. Her opponent will be... AWESOME KONG! The crowd explode. This is without a doubt the toughest challenge of the champion's reign so far. A short video package showcasing the 275lb monster plays on the titantron plays for Black to watch. As we return to the ring, our reigning champion looks slightly taken a back by this announcement. Regal laughs to himself before leaving with his corporate entourage.

2-on-1 Handicap Match
Will Ospreay vs. The Anti-Fun Police

The match was announced as a handicap match which got immediate boos from the crowd. Both commentators agreed that this is an unfair situation. Nigel McGuinness adds that there will be a few more of them if the commissioner has anything to do with it that's for sure. If Will Ospreay loses, he will lose his place in next week's 4 Corners Match for an EPW British Undisputed Championship at EPW Live #100: This Is England 2. He gets a great response on his way down to the ring. His opponents are The Anti-Fun Police. These two heels may be a far cry from main event competitors however it was only a matter of weeks ago that they were in possession of the tag team gold. They go straight to work when they hit the ring. It doesn't look as though tags are going to be in effect in this one. Both Chief Deputy Dunne and Ryan Smile will be legal throughout the duration of this bout. The former champions beat down on Ospreay for a minute before Dunne grabs their opponent in a Wheelbarrow Hold whilst Smile delivers a Slingshot Sitout Facebuster. They then proceed to march around the ring with smug grins on their faces and boast to the crowd. As The Aerial Assassin staggers to his feet, he is lifted up for a Double Suplex. He manages to counter it in to a Double Neckbreaker on the way down. Ospreay then follows up with a Dropkick, a Japanese Arm Drag and a Front Flip DDT to each man. The crowd rally behind this comeback. He slowly climbs the ropes with his trademark Imploding 450 Splash in mind on Chief Deputy Dunne. In the mean time, The Superintendent finds his feet and pulls him back down to the canvas. The Anti-Fun Police stomp down on Ospreay before Dunne orders his partner to the top rope. Smile delivers a Frog Splash for a two count. The ex-champions then take to opposite corners to set up for their finishing move; the Killjoy. As they charge forward for their in-synch Superkick finisher, The Aerial Assassin rolls to safety. He then springs off the ropes to pull off the Oscutter on Chief Deputy Dunne. Ryan Smile lifts his adversary up in to a Fireman's Carry. It is reversed in to a Stunner. The Superintendent is then dropped with the Oscutter after staggering around the ring. The leg is hooked. The official counts three. Will Ospreay wins which means he confirms his place in the 4 Corners Match on next week's episode. The Aerial Assassin takes to the ropes to salute his fans before exiting up the aisle. Meanwhile in the ring, The Anti-Fun Police begin arguing amongst each other. The crowd break out in to a 'FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT' chant. They want to see the former champions go at it. Dunne and Smile eventually appear to come to an agreement. The fans boo but they don't care.

Muscle, Steel and Sex Appeal are in the locker room with a load of wrestlers around them. Nathan Cruz and Josh Bodom are very vocal in boasting about their upcoming title shot against The C.C.K. They don't just promise to become the next EPW British Tag Team Championship. They also declare that they will be the new locker room leaders which angers their peers. Before a brawl breaks out in the locker room, in walks Dave Finlay and Robbie Brookside. The two members of security tell everybody to calm down otherwise William Regal will discipline all of them. Once things settle down, they take Cruz and Bodom to one side. The #1 contenders are then informed that next week will be the last time they team together unless they walk out with the gold. Finlay and Brookside make a swift exit as the cocky duo look perplexed at this revelation. Victory is a must for Muscle, Steel and Sex Appeal if they wish to have a future as a team.

Joe Hendry vs. El Ligero
The Prestigious One has managed to bag himself a place in the 4 Corner's Match next week with a shot at the EPW British Undisputed Championship at stake despite not having picked up a single victory yet in English Pro Wrestling. One can only assume this is one of the perks of being a part of The Corporate Entourage. He will need to walk out with the win this evening if he wishes to advance to next week though. Joe Hendry is showered with boos as he makes his way down the aisle. As he reaches ringside, he exchanges some words with Nigel McGuinness who used to be his colleague at the announce desk. The retired veteran has been outspoken in his disapproval with the actions of William Regal as of late. El Ligero is his chosen opponent. This appears to be an easier task than the handicap match that Will Ospreay had to endure earlier on. The Masked Sensation is a former EPW British Tag Team Champion and isn't a competitor to be ignored though. He proves that by kicking this match off with a Springboard Dropkick right off the bat. Hendry staggers back in to the corner and is then launched across the ring with a Monkey Flip. He then follows up with a Running Single Leg Dropkick for a one count. The technician from Edinburgh kicks out with authority. As Ligero approaches him, Hendry steps up to drill him with a European Uppercut. He drops him with an Arm-Wrench DDT before targetting the leg. The Prestigious One repeatedly stomps on the ankle, nails the right leg with a couple of elbows and then applies a Single-Leg Boston Crab. The high-flyer refuses to quit though. This only leads to the corporate stooge to release the hold and further focus his attack on that right ankle. Once Ligero can barely hobble around the ring, he is launched across the ring with a Fallaway Slam. Hendry arrogantly places one foot over the chest of his opponent. The referee counts. El Ligero gets a shoulder up at two. This angers The Prestigious One who drags his opponent up to his feet, boots him in the gut and delivers the Olympic Slam. He then immediately applies his submission finisher; the Ankle Lock. His adversary taps out straight away with the ankle already in a fragile state. Joe Hendry scores the convincing victory to book his place in the 4 Corners Match next week. He isn't done yet though. As the bell rings, he snatches a steel chair from ringside and slides back in to the ring. The Prestigious One hammers that right ankle several times with the weapon. The attack continues when he wraps the chair around Ligero's ankle before repeatedly stomping on it. The Mexican Sensation yells out in pain. He grabs his ankle at the first opportunity when Hendry finally backs away. Nigel McGuinness stands up to stare down the man standing tall in the ring. The heel yells at the retired grappler and simply asks 'what are you gonna do?' The answer appears to be nothing. McGuinness sits down with a scowl on his face. Ranallo then tells his colleague that he did the right thing and it's not worth messing with anyone associated with William Regal.

Jennifer Louise is in the back standing by for an interview. Her guests are The Aussie Open who look smug following their attacking on The South Pacific Power Trip. Kyle Fletcher explains that the war between the countries of Australia and New Zealand has been ongoing for many years but the outcome is always the same with the Australians coming out victorious. He continues by calling The South Pacific Power Trip the very embodiment of what a typical bunch of New Zealanders are like; second-rate losers. Mark Davis then reminds us that Travis Banks showed how stupid he was when he put up his title shot briefcase on the line against Mark Haskins with absolutely nothing to gain in return. He then adds insult to injury by mocking TK Cooper for his recent losing streak. The bottom line is they want to give their newfound enemies a beating they'll never forget because last week was simply a preview of what is to come. The Dunkzilla then lays down a challenge to Banks and Cooper for an Aussie Rules Tag Team Match at EPW Live #95: Winds Of Change. When asked what exactly 'Aussie Rules' is, they both reply 'NO RULES' at the same time. The Aussie Open then end the interview by slowly walking away before Jennifer Louise can even thank them for their time.

Big Damo vs. Jack Gallagher
The Beast From Belfast has recently regulated a loose affiliation with William Regal and The Corporate Entourage to get himself back in to the title picture. The 320lb titan made it known last week though that he will not be lying down for his new associate Joe Hendry and will very much be taking the chance to become #1 contender in the 4 Corners Match when the situation arises. Big Damo marches down the ramp to boos. He raises his arms high up in the air to an even more hostile reaction once he hits the ring. The crowd go nuts when Jack Gallagher emerges for his return match. The Extraordinary Gentleman gets the opportunity here to get back some redemption on the man who beat him in his final match before his lengthy absence from the squared circle. He steps up to the ropes to salute the crowd. Damo wastes no time in dragging him down to start laying in to him with overhand chops in the corner. The big man then irish whips him in to the opposite corner however Gallagher balances upside down on the ropes to showcase some tremendous balance. When Damo tries to grab at him, he is booted in the face and then toppled to the canvas with a Twisting Bodyscissors Monkey Flip. The heavyweight from Ireland sits up. He is then sent back down with a Running European Uppercut followed by a Double Foot Stomp. The fans cannot believe it. Jack Gallagher has the upper hand whilst he awaits his opponent to climb back to his feet. He charges forward to attempt the Gentleman's Dropkick. The beast charges out of the corner with a Running Low Crossbody to turn the tables. The Extraordinary Gentleman is in agony. He is then dragged to his feet and dropped with a Powerbomb followed by an Elbow Drop. The onslaught continues. He wades in to his much smaller opponent in the corner once again with knife-edge chops, gut kicks and then repeated stomps. Big Damo then looks to lock on the Cu Chullain's Wrath. This could end it if applied. Just before he can trap the arm, Gallagher rolls out of harm's way. Gallagher clocks his opponent with the Gentleman's Dropkick. He hooks the leg to a building full of cheers but Damo kicks out at two. As The Beast From Belfast slowly stirs, The Extraordinary Gentleman takes to the top rope for a high-risk move. His attention is diverted to ringside. Jimmy Havoc has jumped the barricade and arrived at ringside. After yelling at Gallagher for a moment, he is jumped on with a Diving Senton which pops the crowd. The former champion quickly rushes back in the ring. The distraction has given his opponent time to recover though and he is wiped out with a Running Clothesline. He then follows up with a Running Senton and the heavyweight looks to finish things off with the Ulster Plantation. The leg is hooked. The three is counted. Big Damo has his arm raised and is the third man to book his place in the 4 Corner's Match. He gets right up to stand over his fallen opponent. The 320lb titan exits the ring as Jimmy Havoc slides in with a microphone. The King of the Goths tells Gallagher that this is about more than corporations and associations. Apparently there are dark forces at work that will soon reveal themselves and it is only a matter of time before a true army brings the darkness to English Pro Wrestling. He then drops his microphone and leaves the ring to boos from the crowd. Everybody is a little confused as to what Havoc is talking about however he has promised that we will find out in due time.

When we return from the final break, Zack Sabre Jr. makes his way down to address the crowd. The grappler from Kent will get his chance to become EPW British Undisputed Champion next week. He usually prefers to do his talking in the ring however he has chosen to speak to the fans in Chichester ahead of his big match seeing as he's not in action this evening. The Technical Wizard explains that he is no stranger to title gold here in English Pro Wrestling. Way back at EPW Live #21 he turned up to defeat Marty Scurll for the EPW British National Championship. That title reign was short lived when only two weeks later Pete Dunne cashed in his Battle For The Briefcase title shot to begin his record-setting reign. The #1 contender promises that things will be different this time round because he vows to become the new champion next week and head in to EPW Live #100: This Is England 2 with the most prestigious piece of gold in this country's history around his waist. He then warns whomever wins the 4 Corner's Match next week to be ready for the match of their lives. The sound of 'Purple City' by Joker & Ginz is heard over the speakers which signifies that Mark Haskins is about to enter. Sabre Jr. looks on at the stage for the reigning champion to make his presence known. Vicky Haskins wanders out alone with her usual evil grin on her face. She slowly saunters down the ramp with his eyes on her husband's upcoming challenger and the grappler in the ring looks confused. As he begins to sound off at her, Mark Haskins sneaks in behind the #1 contender with his belt in hand. It appears he is going to strike. He charges forward but Zack Sabre Jr. turns just at the right time to quickly drop him in to the Cross Armbreaker. The fans go nuts. The submission is applied and Haskins begins to tap. That's all The Technical Wizard wanted. He releases the hold while the champion is pulled to safety by his wife. As The Hellbent Anti-Hero slowly backs up the ramp holding his arm in agony, Sabre Jr. points him out from the ring and yells at him; 'that belt is mine!'

Pete Dunne vs. Dave Mastiff (with William Regal)
The Bruiserweight may have a lot to gain in next week's 4 Corner's Match however he also has a lot to lose with the commissioner claiming that he will be fired if he doesn't walk out as #1 contender. The odds are also stacked against him in the sense that the boss will award any of the other three competitors with £20,000 if they can pin Pete Dunne or make him submit. The fans give the rebel a hero's welcome when he enters. He appears focused on the task at hand knowing that a loss could here could mean he won't even make it to next week's match. His opponent is Dave Mastiff who has William Regal by his side. The Bastard From The Black Country looks determined to prove his worth to The Corporate Entourage after failing to get the job done recently. The 315lb heavyweight is still an imposing threat. Regal takes a chair and sits at ringside to watch the action unfold. As the two lock up, it become clear that Mastiff is going to use his size and strength to his advantage. Dunne is tossed in to the turnbuckles before falling victim to a Running Corner Splash. He then blasts his opponent with some hooks to the gut. The former champion falls down to one knee. The powerhouse follows up with a Sidewalk Slam and a Running Leg Drop for a two count. He sets up too early for the German Suplex in to the turnbuckles. The brawler from Birmingham escapes before taking the big man down to his knees with a Low Dropkick and then bending back his fingers right back to his arm. He then drops that hand to the floor and stomps on it without a second thought. The big man climbs back up to receive a Running Dropkick in to the corner. Dunne then wraps his arm around the top rope in to a Kimura Lock before releasing just before the referee's count of five. The Bruiserweight attempts to continue the attack on the arm. The Bastard From The Black Country cuts him off when he pulls off a Headbutt and a Spear. He then follows up with the Big Splash. Mastiff hooks the leg. The referee counts. Dunne kicks out at two. William Regal then steps up to the apron to give the referee a dressing down for not counting quick enough. Whilst he is distracted, Dunne pulls off a Low Blow. The commissioner orders the referee to disqualify him but he never saw it. The tables are turned when Dunne drags his opponent down in to the Regal Stretch. This infuriates the boss who is going nuts at ringside. He yells at Mastiff not to give up. Dunne laughs as he pulls back even harder on the submission and the big man taps. Pete Dunne wins the match. He will go on to next week's 4 Corners Match with a title shot at stake. His job will also be at stake though so it's a must win situation. The Bruiserweight has a tense stand-off in the ring with the commissioner. He dares the boss to take a swing at him. Suddenly Joe Hendry, Dave Finlay and Robbie Brookside hit the ring. Dunne decides it is best to save his energy for next week so bails to Regal's disdain. The crowd cheer whilst he stomps to the backstage area. In the mean time, Dave Mastiff slowly finds his feet. The Bastard From The Black Country is jumped by The Corporate Entourage and it looks like their patience with him has run out. Joe Henry brings in a chair from ringside. It appears he is going to target Mastiff's leg like he did to El Ligero earlier on. As he swings the chair up, 'Beast' by Neil McDougall blares across the speakers. Big Damo stomps down the aisle with his eyes on the ring. What are his intentions? He steps between Regal's associates and Dave Mastiff before snatching the chair from The Prestigious One. The crowd cheer as it appears he is taking a stand against them. It's not the case though. He turns and waffles Mastiff across the head with the weapon. The Beast From Belfast then launches it to one side. Damo then locks on the Cu Chullain's Wrath whilst William Regal requests a microphone from ringside. As Dave Mastiff fades, the commissioner yells the two words no man wants to hear; 'YOU'RE FIRED!' The show closes with the boss standing in front of the booing crowd with Damo, Hendry, Finlay and Brookside behind him.

As much as I agree with both announces of the 2-on-1 being an unfair situation, with how Regal has been lately they better be careful what they saw unless they want to end up in the ring, I wouldn’t put it past Regal to do that now sadly. However, good to see Ospreay defy the odds and come out with the win. It wouldn’t feel fitting having him removed from the contender’s match.

Gotta give Gallagher props. Even though he was defeated, he hung in there and made Damo earn his pay in this one. Not sure what Havoc was talking about at the end there, guess we’ll have to wait and see what he means.

Rough way for Mastiff to go out, but I guess he had it coming with siding with Regal before getting axed.
