18/10/05 - EPW's First Steel Cage Match

Re-Awakening 2005

It will be a Perth wrestling first that is certain to tear the roof off Mayland's Venville Rec Centre. It will make Explosive Pro Wrestling's Re-Awakening 2005 one of the most memorable nights in our history.
A feud that has been fought both inside and outside of the squared circle. Former EPW Champion, FN Carnage, will step into a steel cage with his year long nemesis, the Fallen Angel - Azazal.

Azazal's motive for initially targeting FN Carnage remains a mystery. But his hatred towards the EPW veteran brews from his embarrassment at Carnage’s hands. Azazal was on the wrong side of a referee's three count earlier in the year in a bout with Carnage and made it his aim to avenge his defeat at any cost. It was this unbridled desire for revenge which became his eventual downfall. In hastily accepting a return match with Carnage, Azazal forgot to read the fine print on the contact. It stated if Azazal lost the match, he would be banned from Explosive Pro Wrestling and could only return at the mercy of the man who defeated him. He lost that night and his future was now in the hands of the man despised in defeat.

Yet again the embarrassment continued with Azazal being forced by Carnage to sweep the ring at intermission. Fans who have endured the verbal tirade of the Fallen Angel for years, responded with teasing of their own. Fans also saw the disgruntled face of the former EPW chairman as they entered the Venville Rec Centre earlier this year as Carnage had ordered Azazal to rip the tickets and return the stubs with a smile to EPW supporters. Many fans chuckled as the foulest mouth in EPW history was hoping they would "...enjoy the show tonight."

But the final nail in the embarrassment coffin came as FN Carnage ordered the ‘Fallen Angel’ to the ring and demanded he sing the Australian national anthem to the crowd. Carnage demanded Azazal not only sing the anthem, but do a damn fine job of it too. Explosive Pro Wrestling has seen alot of things, but an entire crowd standing, hand over heart to Azazal singing the national anthem ranks up there as the most unlikely. And just quietly, had Mark Holden bought a ticket, a touchdown would've surely ensued.

The blood of Azazal was boiling until Carnage allowed him the chance to return to the EPW roster if the former Champion was defeated by an opponent of the Fallen Angel's choosing. An entire country of wrestlers were at the choosing and Azazal hand-picked the most lethal - South Australia's Master of Mayhem - Havok. FN Carnage ordered that the match allow the usage of weapons. And in a bout that saw tables broken, trash cans swung and bodies slamming into hardened floor, Havok emerged victorious and Azazal was returned to the active EPW roster.

His celebration was short lived as 'Gentleman' Jack Burbank informed the crowd that FN Carnage had slid him a pre-written statement prior to the match. Carnage was still in control of Azazal's career at that point and stated that if he was defeated at Dirty Deeds, Azazal could indeed return to an EPW ring... to face Carnage at Re-Awakening inside a steel cage!!

The fans erupted as a shocked Azazal gulped at ringside. No cheap shots, no interference and no escape. Will Carnage end the career of Azazal once and for all? Or will the ‘Fallen Angel’ escape the cage, and his destiny, and reclaim his future? FN Carnage will finally get his hands on Azazal in a match that is certain to be added to the already growing list of Re-Awakening moments.
