Match observations: 

Backstage Notes: 

-Look for more Dark Match main events to cap off our Velocity shows in the future. 

-Lots of people in the company are betting on Joe and Akiyama to win the tag
titles and bring them into the feud with Vampiro and Raven. 

-With Super Crazy leaving the company, some members of the office want to
push an angle with Universo 2000 as a singles wrestler, but with only three
shows left on his contract, some people want to wait until contract negotiations
are over to figure out the direction of his character. 

-USWA are in preliminary talks with Alex Kozlov and Vladimir Kozlov to bring
them in as The New Bolsheviks. They would debut in Memphis at one of our
exclusive mid south shows, but a contract signing would have to occur first.
As of this writing they are not on the roster, and have not signed a contract.

-Jerry Lawlers opponent for Christmas Choas has already signed a deal and will
make his USWA debut at Chaos. 

We have three more cards until we end the 2002 season in the USWA. The card for
Christmas Chaos is coming along. Lets take a look at what we have!
