RELOADED MATCH #1: TK Cooper defeated JT Dunn via pinfall after avoiding the Roaring Elbow, turning the tables with a Running Spear and then flew off the ropes for the 450 Splash to score a three count. The underdog from New Zealand celebrated the win afterwards.

RELOADED MATCH #2: Xia Brookside defeated Madison Eagles via submission in the 3rd Round of the Klondyke Kate Classic when she managed to counter the Go To Sleep in to the Guillotine Choke for the tap out. Travis Banks came down to help the loser to the back.

RELOADED MATCH #3: Millie McKenzie defeated Sumie Sakai via pinfall with the Bridging Dragon Suplex in the 3rd Round of the Klondyke Kate Classic. This result leaves no definitive winner of the series with both McKenzie and Brookside on two wins each.

EPW Live #113

Once Reloaded comes to an end, the main broadcast opens with a video recap of last week's episode which concluded with The Corporate Entourage winning a Handicap Match over Pete Dunne, David Starr and Keith Lee. This week's show comes to you live from the Coventry Skydome. Mauro Ranallo, Nigel McGuinness and Alex Shane are standing by at ringside to greet the viewers at home. The trio promise plenty of action ahead including Trent Seven vs. The Sanguinary's enforcer Bram, Joe Hendry vs. Chris Brookes, EPW British Junior Champion Josh Bodom will be in action, The Aussie Open take on Zack Sabre Jr. & Will Ospreay and Drew Galloway goes one-on-one with Zack Gibson.

'Do You Wanna Touch' by Joan Jett blares over the speakers to signify the arrival of David Starr. The Product was unsuccessful last week in his debut match alongside Pete Dunne and Keith Lee against six members of The Corporate Entourage. It was in fact Starr that was pinned by #1 contender Sha Samuels who pulled on the tights for extra leverage. The Philly native is visibly frustrated at how things went down. He didn't come to EPW to get caught up in all the political bull sh*t and doesn't think the fans want him mixed up in that too. What he did come here for was to prove that he is one of the best wrestlers on the planet. As the fans cheer him on, he reveals that he wants to prove that by going one-on-one with who he believes to be the #1 champion in the world right now; Pete Dunne. The commentary team all agree that this would be one hell of a match. So do the fans in Coventry. They then pop big when The Bruiserweight comes down to confront his challenger and the two go face-to-face in the middle of the ring. The champ takes the microphone from Starr before explaining that he holds him accountable for their defeat last week. He accepts his challenge, just like he accepts any other challenge from any other wrestler any where in the world. The Bruiserweight hoists his belt over his head as the two edge in even close. It looks like we have got ourselves a main event.

Trent Seven vs. Bram
Tyler Bate recently returned to re-unite Moustache Mountain after a few months sidelined with an injury. They immediately looked at reclaiming the EPW British Tag Team Championships they lost at EPW Live #75: Ascension but The Sanguinary put a giant road block in between them and a shot at the gold; their enforcer Bram. Both members of Moustache Mountain will have to beat the heavyweight from Chesterfield in individual singles matches to earn their match. These two brawlers get right to it as soon as Seven tries to get in to the ring. Bram sends him back down to ringside with a Running Knee. After the babyface from Birmingham hits the barricade, his opponent launches him in to the steel steps before rolling him back in to the ring by order of the referee. This will be no easy feat for Moustache Mountain. The commentary team debate whether The Bombardier Of Battery will fall at the first hurdle as he falls victim to a beating. He eventually forges a come back with several overhand chops, a Snap DDT and a Diving Elbow Drop from the second rope. As the fans rally behind their man, he begins to tease the Seven Stars Lariat. Jimmy Havoc and Mark Haskins suddenly dart down the aisle with Vicky Haskins in tow looking like they mean business. They each get up on to the apron with Seven dishing out a stiff right hand to Havoc and Haskins but then turns to Vicky and is blind sided by Bram. The Chesterfield Plague is back in control. He delivers a Spinning Sitout Jawbreaker and rolls over for the cover. The referee counts. Just before three, Trent Seven kicks out. The crowd are overjoyed. The champions on the other hand begin to look at getting involved again. Suddenly Tyler Bate sprints down the ramp with some back up in the form of Joe Coffey. The Sanguinary injured Coffey's partner two weeks ago when they regained their belts however he is back for revenge. Bate joins up with The Iron Man to fight off Haskins and Havoc and the four of them end up fighting back through the curtain. In the mean time, Bram sets up for the Brighter Side Of Suffering but Seven reverses at the point of execution and drills him with the Seven Stars Lariat. He holds on with everything he has. The referee counts three. Trent Seven wins. The Bombardier Of Battery celebrates his victory in the ring as a shocked Bram drops to the floor. Vicky Haskins consoles him but he's pissed. The burly bodyguard rolls back in with evil intentions however his intended victim decides to leave instead. He's got his victory and he can leave with a smile. If Tyler Bate can also beat Bram next week in his return match, Moustache Mountain bag themselves a title shot.

Jennifer Louise has got an interview in the office of The Corporate Entourage with #1 contender Sha Samuels. The East End Butcher is quick to boast of his team's victory last week and more specifically his pinfall over David Starr. He calls The Product nothing more than a flash in the pan American. Samuels moves his focus on to the main event which he confirms will be a non-title bout. As Dunne and Starr battle it out amongst themselves, he is going to take a nice comfy seat backstage and watch as The Bruiserweight tires himself out ahead of his championship match in two weeks' time. The #1 contender finally announces that he will be in action next week to warm himself up for his title shot. The commissioner has granted him permission to hand pick his own opponent and apparently he's already got a name in mind. When Jennifer Louise pushes him for an answer as to who his opponent will be, he responds with 'get outta here you mug'. He then barks in her face until she leaves.

Joe Hendry vs. Chris Brookes
El Ligero has puzzled everybody over the last couple of weeks with an odd change in attitude. The Masked Sensation walked out on his partners' The C.C.K during a Six Man Tag Team Match two weeks ago and was mute when confronted about it. He then put in a woeful effort in singles action last week against Chris Brookes which ended in minutes without Ligero getting a single offensive move in. Joe Hendry then came down to offer the masked high-flyer a spot in The Corporate Entourage to which he left alongside The Prestigious One. The villainous corporate ally took over Ligero's social media accounts over the week leading to Brookes challenging him to a one-on-one match this week. The exciting babyface starts the match in control using his fast paced offence to take control. He makes the mistake of going for the Yakuza Kick too early though and is wiped out with a Running Chop Block to the ankle. The accomplished freestyle wrestler zones in on the limb for a couple of minutes keeping his opponent grounded. Hendry then drags him up to hammer him in the corner with a Running Clothesline followed by an Arm-Wrench DDT for a two count. The grounded offence continues once again. Eventually Brookes fights back. He flies out of the gate with a Tornado DDT to get a close fall of his own. As he begins to set up for an Octopus Stretch, Hendry drops to his knees and strikes him with a Low Blow in between the legs. The referee doesn't catch it from the angle he is at. A crafty move from the heel. He then approaches to execute the Olympic Slam for the three count. Joe Hendry wins. The Prestigious One has his arm raised but he doesn't look done yet. He quickly grabs a steel chair from ringside and stalk his opponent in the ring. As he slowly lifts it above his head, El Ligero sprints down to the ring. The Masked Sensation takes the weapon from the attacker and it looks like he is taking a stand. The fans egg on the high-flyer to drill Hendry with it. The Prestigious One shakes his head before Ligero turns to hit Brookes with the chair instead. The mood turns sour. Hendry then orders Ligero to the back with him. As they leave, medics rush past them to attend to Brookes. Nobody can work out this sudden change in El Ligero's behaviour?

Jennifer Louise is standing by backstage with Jack Gallagher. The former champion hasn't had too much luck as of late in singles action most recently losing to Jordan Devlin in his bid to qualify for the Battle For The Briefcase. The Extraordinary Gentleman is asked about his future here in EPW now he is out of the title picture for the foreseeable future. He tells the interviewer that she is mistaken in her observation that title gold may be out of his reach. The EPW World Undisputed Championship scene may be busy right now however he has the tag team ranks in his sights. There is no denying there are many great teams in the division with The Sanguinary currently holding the belts, Moustache Mountain back in the mix, The Aussie Open keen to make an impact, The Glaswegian Assembly looking to get their titles back and Zack Sabre Jr. & Will Ospreay proving to be an impressive match. Gallagher thinks that he may have found the perfect partner to compliment his tradition British style though. He then kicks his umbrella up on to his shoulder before strolling off to put an end to the interview. Jennifer Louise ends the segment by sending us back to the commentary team at ringside.

Non-Title Match
Josh Bodom vs. ???

The EPW British Junior Champion is chuffed after finally defeating Noam Dar to retain his belt last week. The Blonde Bomber is out to throw out an open challenge to any wrestler in the locker room. If his opponent can beat him then he can have a shot at his title in two weeks at EPW Live #115: Battle Lines. He awaits a challenger. 'Bangarang' by Skrillex plays over the speakers. Out from the back comes international high-flyer Angelico who a large portion of the crowd knows already from his exposure over various independent promotions across the globe. The commentary team describe him as one of the most exciting young cruiserweights in the world who has impressed fans everywhere he has been. Nobody had any idea he was here in the United Kingdom though. As he hops up to the ropes to salute the cheering crowd, Bodom charges at Angelico to get this match started however his opponent leaps over him with a somersault and lands on his feet. The crowd go nuts at this athletic feat. The angry champion once again rushes Angelico. He is blasted with a Bicycle High Knee followed by a Full Nelson Backbreaker. The daredevil from South Africa who now resides in Barcelona bows to the crowd who give him a round of applause for his athleticism. Bodom climbs to his feet in the corner. Angelico attempts a Running Corner Forearm but is nailed with a boot to the jaw which sends him staggering. The Blonde Bomber turns the tables with a Jumping DDT. As he follows up with some stomps, the mood turns sour and the cocky champ turns round to yell at the audience. He sits Angelico up on the ropes for a Superplex however the international daredevil begins to fight back until Bodom drops down to the canvas. Angelico executes a Double Foot Stomp for the first two count of the bout. This doesn't stop him. He sets up for his trademark Reverse Figure-Four Leg Lock; the Cruceta Invertidas. When he steps over, Bodom pushes him out to the apron in to a vulnerable position. The Blonde Bomber hangs him on the rope ready for the Bliss Buster. Bodom goes to execute the move. His opponent slides through his legs though and then responds with a Corkscrew Roundhouse Kick. The daredevil springs off the ropes to deliver the Superman Senton. The leg is hooked. The referee counts three. Angelico has beaten the EPW British Junior Champion. It was a non-title match but it earns him a shot at the gold in two weeks at our next three-hour special episode. Bodom is fuming as he exits the ring. He snatches the belt from ringside and watches on as Angelico takes to each turnbuckle to salute his adoring fans.

After the break, Jennifer Louise is on the stage and welcomes out Jordan Devlin. The Battle For The Briefcase entrant joins her for an interview. He puts up a highlight reel of clips of him pinning Chris Brookes, beating Jack Gallagher and defeating TK Cooper calling himself the fastest rising star in English Pro Wrestling. The boos throughout the Coventry Skydome are deafening. He boasts to those who might not know that he was trained by worldwide star Finn Balor who currently wrestles for THRIVE in North America. Devlin declares that he will surpass the success of his mentor and will prove to the world that he is The Modern Day Rock And Roller. This really riles up the crowd. He isn't just out here to talk himself up. The heel from the Republic of Ireland announces that he is out here to welcome the latest Irish import to English Pro Wrestling. Apparently 'she' will take the women's division by storm and her name is Katey Harvey. Her allegiance with Devlin alone is enough to garner her heat when she joins her associate and the interviewer on the stage. She takes the microphone from Jennifer Louise but stops to take in the jeers from the fans in Coventry. The newest member of the women's roster explains that the only Irish female to enter an EPW ring is Session Moth Martina and she was nothing more than comic relief. She isn't here to neck cans of beer, do an Irish jig and pull a leprechaun out from under the ring. Harvey is here to show everybody once and for all what Irish women's wrestling is all about. Devlin pulls an Irish flag from his pocket and drapes it over the shoulders of his new ally. They both leave for the back to end this heated segment.

Zack Sabre Jr. & Will Ospreay vs. The Aussie Open
The babyface team both qualified for the Battle For The Briefcase by beating this team two weeks ago however the heels will get a chance at redemption tonight. Mark Davis and Kyle Fletcher are out to prove themselves to not just themselves but also their faction leader Travis Banks. Zack Sabre Jr. and Will Ospreay both seem in good spirits and aren't taking things too seriously. The match is quite back and forth early on. After a couple of minutes, Travis Banks makes his way down to ringside and joins the commentary team. They ask for his opinions on each of his stable mates in Australasian Strong Style. Apparently after Madison Eagles was unsuccessful in her bid to win the Klondyke Kate Classic, he gave her marching orders to leave EPW and go back to Australia. Alex Shane argues that The Kiwi Buzzsaw has got one hell of an ego. Banks responds by saying he will back it up when he wins his second Battle For The Briefcase and this time goes on to win the EPW World Undisputed Championship. Meanwhile in the ring, Davis and Fletcher are working effectively to isolate Ospreay in their corner. They get a near fall following a Hart Attack style double team move. They are clapped on by their stable mate at ringside who looks impressed. His opinion changes though when The Aerial Assassin counters an Assisted Pop-Up Powerbomb attempt in to a Handspring Enzuiguri. He adds salt to the wounds by executing the Essex Destroyer on Fletcher. Sabre Jr. tags in. He ties The Aussie Arrow up in knots until his partner can reach over and tag himself in. Davis uses his strength to regain momentum for his team. The crowd wince when he launches The Technical Wizard in to the turnbuckles with a Release Belly-To-Belly Suplex. The heels isolate their opponent again. The fans in Coventry still get behind the babyfaces though. As Davis runs forward for a Running Cannonball in the corner, Sabre Jr. moves and then delivers a Shining Wizard. The submission specialist from Kent locks on the Cross Armbreaker in the middle. Kyle Fletcher steps in with a view to break it. Ospreay manages to fend him off with the Oscutter. With no other alternative, Davis taps out. Zack Sabre Jr & Will Ospreay win and celebrate in the ring. The heels on the other hand immediately exit the ring once they have recovered. Travis Banks isn't happy though. Whilst they slowly limp off to the back, The Kiwi Buzzsaw yells at his associates for their lack of success but they just take it.

Chris Brookes is being checked on by medical staff after taking a stiff steel chair shot by El Ligero earlier on tonight. Cameras catch up with him and he doesn't seem happy about this developing alliance between his attacker and his opponent tonight; Joe Hendry. Brookes tells us that his partner Kid Lykos will be back next week. They want both Hendry and Ligero in the ring in a tag team match to finally settle this issue once and for all. If he isn't going to get an answer for why El Ligero has suddenly decided to align himself with The Corporate Entourage, he at least wants a chance to get even. The man behind the camera thanks Brookes for his time as he turns back to be treated more by medical staff. The challenge has been laid out. Will Hendry & Ligero accept The C.C.K's challenge for next week?

Drew Galloway vs. Zack Gibson
The tension between EPW British Atlas Champion Nick Aldis and his arch-enemy Drew Galloway hit an all-time high last week when the champ walked out on The Celtic Colossus after being forced to team together by William Regal. The National Treasure was then attacked by the brawler from Scotland when leaving the building later on that night. Both men will meet in the Battle For The Briefcase in two weeks. The commentary team all agree that those two are going to find it difficult to stop themselves engaging in any physical altercations until then though. Galloway will have to focus on the task at hand though. Tonight he faces off against Zack Gibson. Liverpool's Number One is a strong competitor in his own right and refuses to be looked past. He cuts a promo on the lame Coventry fans on his way down. His opponent takes out his frustrations on him though and it is clear that Galloway has an axe to grind. Galloway delivers a Running Clothesline, drops his opponent with a Big Boot and plants him with his trademark Headbutt; the Celtic Kiss. The Celtic Colossus turns and yells out a battle cry which the crowd respond with a huge cheer. Mauro Ranallo claims that we could be looking at a strong favourite for the Battle For The Briefcase if he can perform like this in two weeks at EPW Live #115: Battle Lines. Gibson does turn the tables for a while. The motor mouth from Liverpool delivers a Scoop Powerslam followed by a Running Leg Drop for two. He then continues his offence on the ground until Galloway manages to fight back with several elbows to the ribs. Liverpool's Number One tries to lift him for the Helter Skelter Brainbuster. The Celtic Colossus lands on his feet, kicks him in the gut and executes the Futureshock DDT. He places his hands over the chest of his opponent as the referee counts three. Drew Galloway picks up the victory. He doesn't get time to celebrate as down comes Nick Aldis decked out in a suit, wearing sunglasses and proudly wearing the EPW British Atlas Championship over his shoulder. The National Treasure informs his rival that before last week's shenanigans he actually was willing to give him another shot at the belt. He then tells us that he isn't going to let himself or his gold get dragged down to Galloway's level after the way he acted last week so he can stick any chance of a title shot where the sun doesn't shine. As the crowd boo, Aldis explains that he told everybody that he would be a champion that the fans could be proud of and asks how would he be doing that by associating with riff-raff like Drew Galloway. The Celtic Colossus shakes his head in disgust. The champion disappears to the back as we cut to a break.

As we return, Sweet Saraya is entering the ring with a microphone in hand. The general manager of the women's division gets right to business and addresses the tied result of the Klondyke Kate Classic on Reloaded tonight. Such a result was always a possibility so she had a plan in mind all along. In two weeks at EPW Live #115: Battle Lines, Millie McKenzie and Xia Brookside will both face off in an Iron Woman Match with the winner receiving the Klondyke Kate Classic trophy and a shot at the EPW British Women's Championship. The fans approve of this decision. Before she can leave, Nikki Cross storms the ring with a lead pipe in hand and quickly corners her boss. She yells that she wants a title rematch against Viper made official otherwise she will splash her brains across this canvas. The Queen Of Chaos doesn't look like she is joking either. The veteran authority figure is not one to be bullied in to decisions but this is a crisis situation. As Cross swings back the weapon, Viper appears in the ring and the attacker quickly flees the ring. The champion is back. The Vixen Of Violence picks up the microphone from the canvas before accepting the challenge of her arch-nemesis on one condition; the match between them will be No Holds Barred. Cross sadistically laughs and nods her head. Sweet Saraya then officially confirms the bout for two weeks from now.

Non-Title Match
Pete Dunne vs. David Starr

The fallout of last week's main event means that there is some bad blood brewing between these two still. Both men are dead set on proving to one another who is the better wrestler. It is the sole reason David Starr signed for English Pro Wrestling. The Product came here to take on the best competition possible and who better than the reigning EPW World Undisputed Champion. The match begins at a very slow pace with the two competitors trying to out-wrestle one another. The Bruiserweight takes things up a notch when he bends back the hand of his grounded opponent and viciously stomps on it with ruthless intent. He then targets the arm of Starr for a while. They end up trading hands on the apron leading to the Philly native scoring a stiff knife-edge chop. Starr then climbs back in to pull off a Rope-Hung DDT for the first two count of the match. The fans seem impressed that he has the champion down. He delivers some shoot kicks before attempting to follow up with a Lariat. As he charges forward, Dunne drills him with a European Uppercut and drops him with a Forearm Smash. Starr scurries back in to the corner in a desperate attempt to withdraw. The brawler from Birmingham charges at him to deliver a Running Double Foot Stomp to regain momentum. He then drops him with a Rolling Release Suplex and the place comes unglued. Pete Dunne is proving why he is the ideal representative of EPW's hybrid of tradition and attitude. He applies the Figure-Four Leg Lock in the middle. After a struggle, Starr gets to the ropes and lands a Discus Elbow Smash when they reach their feet. He follows up with his finishing Bridging Package German Suplex; the Product Placement. The Jewish Cannon transitions in to a pinfall. The referee counts. Dunne kicks out just before three. The Bruiserweight is not out of this yet. He does roll out for a breather. His opponent won't allow him the time to recover though and flies through the ropes to send him crashing in to the barricade with a Suicide Dive. Starr rolls him in for another two count. The unrelenting newcomer is refusing to let his first singles match slip through his finger. As Dunne sits up, he approaches for a Superkick. The champion ducks and rolls out of the way. Kick to the gut. Pete Dunne executes the Bitter End. The place goes nuts. He hooks the leg. The referee counts. David Starr musters up the strength to kick out at the final moment. Nobody can quite believe it. Both men have kick out of each other's finishers. They both lay on the canvas and slowly use the ropes to help get up. Out of nowhere, Sha Samuels decks both men with a Double Clothesline before picking up a steel chair he brought down with him. The East End Butcher has ruined what was going down as an instant classic. He drills both men with a shot with the chair. David Starr is sent tumbling to the outside. Pete Dunne on the other hand stops himself from falling by holding on to the ropes. As he walks back towards Samuels, he is dropped by a second shot which busts him open. The bloody champion lays on the canvas and the #1 contender calls for the belt to be handed to him. Jim Smallman reluctantly does so as Samuels scares off the referee. The show closes with The East End Butcher standing tall.

Even though it was on RELOADED, nice to see TK Cooper pick up a win, as well as not have the shit kicked out of him post bell. Nice change pace given how things have gone for him lately.

Important win for Trent Seven. While it was in singles competition, it should give his partner some momentum for his match next week.

Wondering who Sha has in mind to face him. Got a feeling whoever it is won't have a smooth day at the office.

Not quite sure of what to think of the CCK situation.

Can't say I've heard of Angelico, but a win in his debut against a title holder is a good way to get noticed. Got a feeling Bodom will be more prepared when the rematch comes though. I'm sure he doesn't want history to repeat itself.

Solid tag bout. Sabre j. and Ospreay earned that one.

It's only a matter of time before Galloway gets a hold of Aldis. A bit surprised nothing more than words were spoken by Aldis in that spot though.

Part of me thinks Saraya's decision to have the deciding match of the classic tournament be an ironman match has some foreign influence ;), still it's good to see she's raising the stakes for an important match. That could be the show stealer, though I got a feeling Viper and Nikki Cross will be a serious contended for that as well.

As crappy as it is having Sha interrupt what was a highly competitive bout up until that point, it was a nice change of pace to see someone else be the last one standing rather than Dunne when the feed cuts. Got a feeling however that Dunne will return the favour in kind soon.
