Christmas Chaos 2002
Two-out-of-three-Falls Match With Captain's Rules:
AJ Styles, The Sandman and Ultimo Guerrero beat
CM Punk, Colt Cabana and Bobby Fish 2 falls to 0:
x Sandman beat Cabana via disqualification in 0:05:28
x Styles beat Fish via disqualification in 0:10:59
Rating: ***
Our six man tag opener was a hot one to start off one of the most anticipated
shows in the USWA. Team Styles got the victory with two decisions when the ref
DQed both Bobby Fish and Cabana for illegal tactics. CM Punk wasn't happy
with the loss and gave Styles a staredown as AJ was walking back up the ramp.
Jerry Lawler pinned Tommy Rich with the Piledriver in 0:14:02.
Rating: ** 1/4
Tommy Rich was the surprise opponent for Jerry Lawler and it was a bitter
brawl between two legends from the mid south. Lalwer got the victory with
his piledriver finish and continues a winning streak.
Chad Collyer defeated Sean Waltman when Sean Waltman passed out in the
Chaddo Clutch in 0:12:08.
Rating: **** 1/4
A great X-division matchup with Chad Collyer getting the victory over Waltman.
Steve Bradley came down and ridiculed Waltman after the match. Chad Collyer
is in line for an X-Division title shot with this win.
PG-13 (J.C. Ice and Wolfie D) defeated Latin Lover and Psicosis when Wolfie D
pinned L. Lover after the Hubcap in 0:17:41.
Rating: **** 1/2
In our #1 contenders match for the tag titles PG-13 got the victory over
Lover and Psicosis and will go on to face the tag champs at our next PPV
New Years Revolution. Wolfie and J.C. have been traveling down a long road
on their way to a championship match. Tonight they have secured the match.
Jerry Lynn pinned Too Cold Scorpio with the Cradle Piledriver in 0:22:35.
Rating: *****
(Jerry Lynn won the X Division Title.)
The X-Division title was on the line tonight in the "Final Battle" between
Lynn and Scorpio. 1 on 1 to a positive finish, no interference. With everyone
glued to the match Jerry Lynn defeated Scorpio and became a four time X-Division
champion. After the match both men received a standing ovation and Too Cold
Scorpio took the mic.

Mexico's Most Wanted (Damien 666 and Halloween) defeated
Universo 2000 and Delirious when Halloween defeated Universo 2000 when
Universo 2000 passed out in the La Calabaza in 0:07:23.
Rating: *** 1/2
Universo 2000 got help from Delirious tonight to tag with him against Mexicos
Most Wanted. It didn't get the job done as Halloween put Universo in the
La Calabaza and attempted to seriously injure him, putting him on the shelf
with his tag partner Super Crazy. Halloween and Damien 666 are a very brutal
team here in the USWA.
Jun Akiyama and Samoa Joe defeated Raven and Vampiro when J. Akiyama pinned
Vampiro with the Exploder in 0:13:53.
Rating: *** 1/4
Akiyama and Joe came out to brawl and thats exactly what this match was.
A brawl between four men that just don't like eachother. Akiyama continues to
rack up victories since he returned last month, Vampiro and Raven were left
laying in the ring after Akiyama hit Vampiro with the exploder.
Low-Ki pinned Christopher Daniels with the Ki Crusher in 0:09:06.
Rating: *** 3/4
(Low-Ki won the Global Title.)
Christopher Daniels title run is over, and we will head into 2003 with a
NEW Global champion in Low-Ki. The best of 7 feud paid off as Ki finally
captures the belt he's been waiting for his entire career. Daniels held the
Global title longer than anyone in the company, but Ki gets the victory.
Low-Ki now has his girl and the gold on his side and looks to be a big player
going into 2003.
War Games No-Countout-No-DQ-Match:
Taz, Konnan, New Jack, Ahmed Johnson and Sean Morley defeated New Europe (Alex S
helley, Doug Williams, Harry Smith and Nigel McGuinness) and Ulf Hermann when
Konnan made A. Shelley submit to the Tequila Sunrise in 0:39:39.
Rating: ****
It's official, New Europe is no more. After Team Taz got the victory,
Doug Williams flipped out. Williams and Smith attacked Nigel in the middle of
the ring, they then continued a beating on an injured Ulf Hermann and
choked out Alex Shelley. Doug took the mic saying that he is sick of being
a part of a group of men who can't win and his New Years Resolution is to
climb the ladder of sucess in 2003, and it won't be happening with Nigel,
Ulf, or Alex Shelley!
Card rating: *** 3/4
Match observations:
Backstage notes:
Two new champs tonght in Jerry Lynn and Low-Ki. We know now that the X-title
will not be defended by Lynn and it will be put into an 8 man tournament on
the X-Division anniversary show January 17th. We should know the brackets for
that tournament soon.
Tommy Rich has signed on with the USWA and will mostly be used on our upcoming
monthly Mid South Coliseum shows.
Universo 2000 has 1 show left on contract, along with the Sandman. The company
would like to keep both, but neither will be used in storylines until we
hear from them on their future.
With Team Taz getting the victory in WAR GAMES, Nigel will NOT get the title
shot at New Years Revolution. So the question is, who will be the number one
contender for the title at the PPV?
Chad Collyer gets a big X-Division win tonight and the office has decided he
is going to have a bigger roll in the X-Division going into the new year.
The Jerry Lynn/Too Cold "Final Battle" might have just beat out the 3 way
match for the heavyweight title that Val Venis, Taz, and Ulf Hermann had on
A Night to Remember. Amazing match that ended a very long feud between two of
the bigger names in the company, and a title change!
The next USWA show will take place on the 4th and will be a huge TV taping.
We will be taping two weeks worth of Velocity TV, and USWA Challenge. This
opens up an extra night for the January 17th X-DIvision tournament.
