5 Ups And 2 Downs From WCPW Loaded Episode 6

7. Up - Opening Strong

The opening contest on the show pitted Joseph Conners against El Ligero. Both men have been a part of WCPW since the very beginning, and this was an opportunity for both of them to move up the ranks.

The match started off slowly, with a little bit of comedy. Ligero did a roll in the ring, and not to be one-upped, Conners executed one of his own. After that, it was the referee's turn, and he delivered a pretty good roll in his own right. Later, Ligero and Conners did a double bridge spot out of a knuckle lock that was also played for laughs.

After that, though, the bout picked up. Both guys worked hard to score a win, drawing "This is awesome!" chants from the crowd. El Ligero used a cutter and nearly got the pinfall, but Conners fought back. In the end, Ligero came off of the ropes and Conners attempted to plant him with a powerslam, but Ligero reversed it into a roll-up and scored the pin.

A post-match handshake was the icing on the cake.
