With the emotional scenes from Hell or Highwater still fresh in our minds, it is already time to move onto Explosive Pro Wrestling’s next big event, TELETHON BASH. Thanks to our great sponsors from the City of Bassendean, the Cyril Jackson Rec Centre will play host to this great fundraising venture on Saturday September 17th.

While we have a new EPW champion in the ‘Golden Greek’ Marcius Pitt, we have no immediate #1 contender. EPW officials have come up with an interesting concept to decide who will be first to face Pitt for the gold.

Two tag teams will face each other on September 17th with the winning team squaring off at night’s end to determine the new #1 contender to the EPW Championship. The really interesting part is the make up of the two teams. TMDK, Mikey Nicholls and Shane Haste have had their fair share of issues since returning from Japan in May. But they will be forced to put those differences aside if they hope for either of them to get a shot at the strap. But so will their opponents. Team All Star and the Entourage have been at war for months but if Sebastian Sander and Kiel Steria hold any ambition of becoming the EPW Champion, they will have to find a way to co-exist and defeat TMDK.

The EPW Tag Team Titles will be on the line as the champions, Jay Taylor and AZ Vegara, are set to take on the current #1 contenders to their belts, the Schmidts. After being dumped from Team Jurah at Hell or Highwater, Gorgeous Garry and Bruiser Barry are more motivated than ever and believe that the champs are ripe for the picking after they lost to Dan Moore and Chase Griffin last month.

The EPW Invitational Tournament is rolling around for another year and qualifying will start with the three way dance at the TELETHON BASH. Chris Vice, Alex Kingston and Carlo ‘Cash Money’ Cannon all realise what winning the Invitational could mean for their career trajectory in EPW. Who will book their place in the semi finals at RE-AWAKENING X?

Speaking of trophies, the EPW Rising Star Cup will take place as seven of our youngest and brightest prospects take part in a gauntlet match. Brett Foxx, Hayden Zenith, Leo Pratt, Ryan Dangerfield, Dorian, Eddy Bombay and the debuting Scotty Ryan. A gauntlet match stacks the odds strongly against the men who have to compete first but the Rising Star Cup is about winning when it matters most. Who will walk away as EPW’s Rising Star for 2011?

And finally, after months of being attacked by the Blackest Hour, Adam Banks will finally get a chance for revenge as he gets Adrian Priest one on one at the TELETHON BASH. Can Banks take down the psychopath from the Blackest Hour?

Just a reminder that ALL profits from the show go towards Telethon 2011 so make sure you get your tickets now, and bring along a few extra bucks as we attempt to beat the $3500 we raised last year.
