V-TV Green Bay, WI October 5th, 2002
Interview:
Samoa Joe on the phone...
Samoa Joe is obviously on the phone with good friend Jun Akiyama. He tells Jun
that Raven is a nut job, and the only way to get him off his case is to get
a match with him set up.
By the look on Joe's face it's apparent that Jun has no intensions of coming
back to the USWA. Joe tells Jun to take care, hangs up the phone and looks
frustrated.

when N. McGuinness defeated Lozansky by countout in 0:08:10.

they did not disappoint. The winner of South of the Border/PG-13 will have
their hands full coming up!

attack Lynn until out of NOWHERE former Tag Team Champion Steve Corino
hits the ring and clears house! Corino takes the mic and tells Lynn that
he heard about whats been going on with the X-Division and told Lynn

Power Bomb in 0:09:30.
Rating: *** 1/2
Wolfie D and JC Ice were unable to get the victory over South of the Border
and it looks like Universo 2000 and Super Crazy will be officially plugged
into the Tag Team Title match against Guerrero and Nigel McGuinness at Havoc.
SOTB have come a long way in a short time here in the USWA.
Backstage:
Raven confronts Samoa Joe.
Raven seeks out Joe and asks him if he has a solution to his problems. Joe
tells him that he made the phonecall and Jun isn't coming back, so he's going
to have to come up with another way heal. He isn't his damn doctor and it's
not his problem.
Raven flips out and from behind Ox Harley and Bull Pain attack Samoa Joe
as Raven continues to ask Joe if he is feeling what Raven's pain is all
about? Raven tells a bloody Samoa Joe that his fate has been sealed.

Rating: *** 1/4
CM Punk made a huge comeback in the best of 7. We are now 2-2 and will need to

Interview:
Alex Shelly has words for Colt Cabana.
Alex Shelly tells Colt Cabana that next week when the USWA debuts it's new
show Challenge, hes going to win the match just like he did in England. Shelly
says that Cabana is past his prime. He has had his chance to make it in the
USWA and was never able to take advantage of it. Either because he never
allied with the right people or it's just plain fact that he doesn't have
the talent necessary to be a winner.
Ulf Hermann pinned Val Venis with the Slingshot in 0:15:17.
Rating: **** 1/4
A great Main Event to end Velocity as Val Venis puts up a fight against Hermann,
but couldn't get the win. After Hermann gets the victory the beating continued.
Williams and Harry Smith came down to help in the beating until we heard
Taz music hit. T-Bone Tazplex on Smith, T-Bone on Williams and a staredown
on Hermann until Ulf takes the high road and leaves the ring to end the show.
Card rating: *** 1/2
Match observations:
Backstage Notes:
Lance Russell:
A big night of matches for the USWA which ends in the ultimate staredown
between two of the toughest men in the company. Taz and Ulf Hermann looked
each other dead in the eyes. No beating, no brawl, just a staredown between
the champion, and the biggest man in the company.
Chad Collyer has been brought into the company to add more competition to
the X-Division. Bradley, 2 Cold, Lynn, Corino, Fish, AJ, Collyer, Shelly,
Delirious, and Cabana are starting to bring the division to the forefront.
CM Punk looked great in action tonight and he finally looks like he has a
chance to take the series. Low-Ki and Punk are two of the best wrestlers
in the company and something has to give in this series.
Jerry Lynn's former tag team championship partner Steve Cornio has come back
to the USWA to help even the odds against Scorpio and his boys. Corino
will had another twist in this epic feud between Jerry Lynn and 2 Cold.
Ahmead Johnson will be coming back to the USWA. Today we got our first look
at him training for his wrestling comeback. It will be interesting to see
what Johnson can do in the heavyweight title picture.
Next week Velocity will tape the new show USWA Challenge in Milwaukee.
We will hear from Taz, Vampiro will be in action for the first time since
his beatdown of Jerry Lawler, X-division competition and much more!
