The show opened with the always-stunning Dynamite Dolls doing their
usual song and dance. Dancin Lukey then got the show underway by introducing Phill and
Tino from the Internet wrestling radio show, the Sledgehammer of Justice. The boys from
SOJ congratulated EPW on their success and wished them well in their future endeavours.
They presented EPW with a plaque as a testament to those achievements.
Lukey then announced the Brat Pack to the ring to receive their tag
team titles, which they won at Evolution 2003. Slick Rick then called The Uprising out. He
chastised them for not achieving more during their reign of power thus far. He then
criticized Blade and Mikey for their recent problems with Azazal, before offering the
Chairman a place in the Brat Pack. Blade then told Rick that if Carnage did not defeat
Jimmy Payne for the title, he would never get another shot. He also warned them not to get
involved in the match between Davis Storm and Azazal.
