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. Ultimo Guerrero and Nigel McGuinness defeated Mike Lozansky and Steve Madison when N. McGuinness defeated Lozansky by countout in 0:08:10. Rating: *** Back in action for the first time in a long time, Nigel and Guerrero looked good. The fans got a chance to see their tag team champions in action, and they did not disappoint. The winner of South of the Border/PG-13 will have their hands full coming up! PROMO:: Video footage of Ahmed Johnson working out at the gym is shown. Ahmed looks at the camera and tells those in the USWA to watchout, because one of the most athletic, powerful wrestlers in the world is coming to the USWA! His cell phone rings, and he immediatley answers, smiles and then gets right back to the weights! Delirious made Justin Cage submit to the Cobra Stretch in 0:08:08. Rating: *** Delirious gets another victory, and continues winning. Delirious wants to get into the X-Division scene and so far is off to a good start. Interview: New Europe gives out an open challenge New Europe puts out a challenge to anyone in the USWA that thinks they are worthy of a match against the best faction in the USWA today! Out comes Val Venis who says that he has wanted a high profile match since he got to the USWA and he accepts the challenge. Smith and Williams tell Venus he will be taking on ULF HERMANN in tonights main event! Finally Val gets the match he has been waiting for! Jerry Lynn pinned Latin Lover after a monkey flip in 0:08:54. Rating: *** 1/2 Jerry Lynn back in action tonight gets the victory over Latin Lover. After the match 2 Cold, 1-2-3- Kid, and Steve Bradley hit the ring to 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 that its unacceptable. If 2 Cold and his boys want to fight Lynn, then hes going to be fighting Corino as well! Corino and Lynn shake hands in the middle of the ring to a nice ovation from the crowd. [Number One Contenders match]: South of the Border (Universo 2000 and Super Crazy) defeated PG-13 (J.C. Ice and Wolfie D) when Universo 2000 pinned J.C. Ice with the 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. Taped Fist Match: CM Punk pinned Low-Ki with the G.T.S. in 0:09:35. Rating: *** 1/4 CM Punk made a huge comeback in the best of 7. We are now 2-2 and will need to take this thing to at least 6 matches. That will make a 6th match official at Halloween Havoc. The fans in Green Bay were all cheering for CM Punk the entire time! Chad Collyer defeated Shark Boy when Shark Boy passed out in the Chaddo Clutch in 0:08:32. Rating: *** 1/4 Newcomer Chad Collyer gets a victory over Shark Boy with his Chaddo Clutch submission. Chad looked good in the ring tonight and adds another great x-division member to the growing list of competition. 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!
