Halloween Havoc 2002

No-DQ-Handicap-Match:
The Pain Game (Bull Pain and Ox Harley) defeated Samoa Joe when Bull Pain
 pinned Joe after the The Belly to Back Bulldozer Slam in 0:06:48.
Rating: *** 1/4
[Raven interfered against Samoa Joe.]

In our opening match, Bull Pain and Ox Harley along with Raven on the outside
continuing to be a distraction was just to much for Samoa Joe to handle. The
fans chanted for Jun Akiyama, but we all know he wouldn't be there. Raven
and his hired guns were too much for Joe tonight.

Sean Waltman defeated Steve Corino by countout in 0:07:07.
Rating: * 1/2

Sean Waltman gets the victory when Corino was sent out of the ring. Corino
tried to get back in when someone from under the ring held onto his leg and
he couldn't get back in time. We then see Steve Bradley roll out from under
the ring as he celebrated his win with Waltman. 

3 Way Dance:
Chad Collyer won a 3 Way Dance:
         x C. Collyer defeated Fish after the Chaddo Clutch in 0:12:38
         x C. Collyer defeated Styles after the Chaddo Clutch in 0:19:10
Rating: *****

Its our second 5 star match in the last few weeks and it blew away our show. 
Collyer will go on to a second 3 way dance in an attempt to get a shot at
Scorpio's X-Title. Chad got the victory with his Chaddo Clutch pinning both
Fish and AJ Styles. AJ shook Chad's hand after the match and wished him luck
in his next 3 way dance match.

Christopher Daniels pinned Val Venis with the Spicy Drop in 0:17:37.
Rating: **** 1/4
(Christopher Daniels retained the Global Title.)

A great title defense tonight as Daniels once again retains his Global title. 
Val gave Daniels all he can handle in a great match. After the match Daniels 
took the mic and proclaimed that the Global Title is on the same level as Taz
Heavyweight championship! 

Steve Bradley pinned Jerry Lynn with the Smashmouth in 0:12:52.
Rating: **** 1/4

Another classic, Steve Bradley gets the victory over Jerry Lynn in singles 
action. Braldey moves past Lynn in the X-Division and it looks like
Waltman and Bradley get a clean sweep tonight at Halloween Havoc. Who
will Jerry Lynn ask to be on his team next week in Nashville in the six man
tag main event?

Chris Harris and Bobby Duncum Jr. defeated Trevor Murdoch and The Sandman when
C. Harris pinned Murdoch with the Catatonic in 0:14:43.
Rating: ***

It was a bloody brutal match, but Harris and Duncum were just to much for
Sandman and Murdoch. It was obvious early on that Harris had his eyes on
Murdoch from the very beginning of the match. Harris and BDJ double teamed
Murdoc every step of the way, eventually Harris hit the Catatonic and gets
the victory for him and Duncum. 

Ultimo Guerrero and Nigel McGuinness defeated
South of the Border (Universo 2000 and Super Crazy) when N. McGuinness pinned
Crazy with the Jawbreaker Lariat in 0:13:43.
Rating: **** 1/4
(Ultimo Guerrero and Nigel McGuinness retained the Tag Team Titles.)

A fantastic title defense for Nigel and Ultimo Guerrero over the up and
coming South of the Border. A fast climb to the top of the tag team division
for Crazy and Guerrero ends with a loss to the champions. Nigel and Guerrero
looked like a cohesive unit for the first time in a long time.

Falls-Count-Anywhere Match:
Vampiro pinned Jerry Lawler after a small package in 0:10:11.
Rating: ***

Vampiro gets the victory over Lawler when Raven made his way down to the
ring and helped Vamprio lay a beating on The King. Lawler tried to fight a
2 on 1 here, but it was no use and Vampiro was able to seal up a victory. 
Raven raised Vampiros hand in victory after the match. 

Taz made Ulf Hermann submit to the Tazmission in 0:08:21.
Rating: ****
(Taz retained the Heavyweight Title.)

In the first of our two main event matches, Taz made short work out of Ulf
and made him tap to the Tazmission. Doug Williams was furious and after the
match New Europe took the ring to try to attack Taz, but out comes PG-13
who stood at Taz side and no punches were thrown. PG-13 evened the odds New
Europe left the ring in peace. Taz had a stare down with Wolfie D, who if
you know the history of these two, you know they don't get along. Taz
shook the hands of both members of PG-13 and then raised the title high
in the air for everyone to see. Taz! Still the champion, and New Europe
leaves Halloween Havoc with another loss! 

Cage Match:
Low-Ki defeated CM Punk by escaping the cage in 0:34:05.
Rating: ***

In our Main Event of the night, Low-Ki evens the series with a victory over
CM Punk inside the steel cage. A brutal match, but this means we are once
again tied at 3-3 and we know that at A Night to Remember 2002, Punk will
face Low-Ki in the 7th and deciding match for a chance to win this year
long feud, and the winner having a Global title match!


Card rating: *** 1/2


Match observations: 

Backstage: 

We just finished up Halloween Havoc, and all of our titles remained with 
the Champions. 

Some of the big news coming out of Havoc would include the new pairing of
Vampiro and Raven. These two do have a history together as they were both
part of a New Church stable back in 2001. Both guys left Havoc with victories
over their opponents. 

Taz not only defended his title, but he really made Ulf look like someone who
didn't deserve the title shot. Ulf Hermanns loss did not go over with Doug
Williams, and Williams really resents the fact that New Europe leader Nigel
McGuinness was not at ringside to help Hermann in this one. Only time will tell
what the future of that stable will hold. PG-13 ran out to stop any 4 on 1
attack that New Europe had planned for Taz. All in all a bad night for New
Europe. 

Low-Ki evens the best of 7 at 3-3 all. A Night to Remember will give us a winner
and a number one contender to Chris Daniels Global Title. Val Venis had a
hell of a match and Daniels respected the effort from his opponent. 

Velocity TV from Nashville is next week, along with our 2nd ever tv taping of
USWA Challenge.

Our Challenge Main event will be a rematch of our 5 star Konnan vs Doug Williams
encounter. We will also have Ahmed Johnson, Raven, Pain Game, and Samoa Joe all
in action. 

Velocity TV's main event will be a six man tag with Scorpio, Bradley and Waltman
against Jerry Lynn and two of his hand picked partners. 

The second 3 way dance that will take place will be Cabana vs Latin Lover 
vs Alex Shelly in a chance for the X-Division title.
