Richter defeated Jay Taylor

Taylor must have drawn the short straw at the EPW office as he was forced to face the biggest competitor in EPW in his debut match. And he certainly didn’t receive any pity from the big man. Richter whipped the youngster from pillar to post. It seemed like Taylor may be able to mount a comeback after Richter ran into his boot. But in his haste, Jay ran straight into a burning lariat that almost took his head off.

Winner – Richter by pinfall after a lariat at 3:48

After the match, Richter continued to pummel the young man until FN Carnage entered the ring to ward him off. The two men stood toe to toe until Richter finally backed off and left the ring. Carnage then challenged Richter to a match of his choosing at the next event.
