24/05/07 - Huge Announcement regarding Hell or Highwater
On June 9th 2007, the EPW championship match that fans and wrestlers alike have been waiting for, will finally take place. After four years of hard work and sacrifice, Shane Haste’s dream will become a reality. The main event for Hell or Highwater 2007, will be an EPW championship match as Jimmy Payne defends the title against the Awe-Inspiring, Shane Haste. This will be Shane’s first attempt at the gold after missing out on the #1 contendership on many occasions. In 2005, Haste was the runner up in the Invitational tournament as he just fell short against Havok. Victory there would have secured him a championship match. History shows that Havok went on to win the EPW championship with that title shot. Shane’s next chance came at Sudden Impact where he seemingly had the match won before an error in judgement cost him the opportunity to become #1 contender. Jimmy Payne won that match and went on to defeat Havok for the title at Evolution 2006. After twice seeing championship glory ripped from his grasp, Shane was determined to take advantage of his chances in 2007 and went into Hot Summer’s night more focussed than ever to secure a shot at the EPW championship. The Forefathers obviously took note of this and as Shane had the match won, Jimmy Payne and Nate Dooley stuck their collective noses into the match and prevented Shane becoming the #1 contender. Since then, Haste has been on a tear through EPW which culminated in his victory in the Invitational tournament at Evolution. By defeating Spike Steele and AZ Vegara, Shane not only became the Invitational champion of 2007, he also guaranteed himself a shot at one thing he wants most. The EPW championship. This will be the first time that Shane has had a shot at the EPW championship and he will be coming in prepared. Over the past four years, Haste has become one of the most popular figures in EPW history. With his zany antics and high flying style, Shane has proven to be a hit with all who attend EPW shows. On June 9th, he will get the chance to finally prove that he has arrived. Get your tickets now from Ticketmaster.com and receive a 10% on all tickets purchased.

The chase begins.

Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww

You can't make it next month then? We should do odds on the event he'll get the belt, my money's on Blaze of Glory.

As much as we have been pro-young guns and anti-forefathers I don't think this is fair to Jimmy. He has been an amazing champion and has really earnt his stripes during his unbelievable title reign. Add that to the fact at just the last event he beat Bobby Marshall in a Ladder Match for the belt, I do't think he should have to defend at this event. C'mon EPW give the guy title match break this event and make him defend it at Winter Warfare or Blaze Of Glory.

Jimmy will make Haste HUMBLE!!!

Should be an awesome match. And seeing as i wont be here fpr winter warefare he better win it at this event. Or else i will disapprove!

Personally I thought he would have taken his shot at Re-Awakening.

I reckon Shane will win then Jimmy will be chasing him up until Reawakening. Jimmy will get that big guy from adelaide to come over and chokeslam Shane at desperate measures Richter wont be happy because he wont be the biggest guy in epw so he'll come out and try chokeslam the big guy. The forefathers could attack Richter At Reawakening Richter would fight that big guy, Jimmy would challenge Shane and somehow they will also get the tag belts back at reawakening too or I reckon Jimmy will win then Shane will be chasing him up until Reawakening. Shane will get that big guy from adelaide to come over and chokeslam Jimmy at desperate measures Richter wont be happy because he wont be the biggest guy in epw so he'll come out and try chokeslam the big guy. The Young Guns could defend the big guy from adelaide At Reawakening Richter would fight that big guy, Shane would challenge Jimmy and somehow they will also get the tag belts back at reawakening too or Something completly different could happen

*cringe*

Hmm i dont think so. I think that big guy is staying at adelaide for a while. I hope im wrong though

Wow, the main page says that there will be a three way between Bobby Marshal, Davis Storm and Spike Steeele. Horrah, he's coming back! Erghm And I hope bobby marshal kicks his arse! Also Dooley vs Reeves should be awesome. I'm sure I remember them having a match on a house show some time ago. I wasn't there obviously but I'm pretty sure everyone loved it. SPIKE!

As much as Haste fanboy as i am and an despite the grimace chants love jimmy's work those two guys will have dig down deep and pull it out there arses cause Storm+Steel+Marshall= Show stealering instant classic. It's gunna be HUGE!
