Psicosis and Latin Lover defeated Rik Ratchet and Steve Madison when Psicosis
pinned Ratchet with the Flying Legdrop in 0:01:07.
Rating: **
After last weeks shocker taking the tag team champions to a time limit draw,
Psicosis and Lover made short work out of tonights competition. Teams in the
USWA are taking notice of these two. The Tag Team scene in the USWA is
probably at it's best in the last two years, which says a lot about this team.

Ahmed Johnson in action next week!

Rating: *** 1/2
[Steve Corino interfered against Sean Waltman.]
Sean Waltman takes a loss to Shocker tonight when Steve Cornio got involved and
became a distraction for the 1-2-3 Kid. Waltman tried to go after Corino, but
Steve held his ground and Waltman ran to the back in frustration.

The Sandman and Trevor Murdoch defeated The Pain Game (Bull Pain and Ox Harley)
when Sandman pinned Bull Pain after Frankensander in 0:15:23.
Rating: ** 1/2
In a battle between two of the more hardcore teams in the USWA, Sandman and
Murdoch get the victory over Bull Pain and Ox Harley. Samoa Joe came out to the
ring to take a closer look at his competition for Havoc. After the match
Joe took a defenseless Bull Pain and gave him an Island Driver, considered
a little revenge for the attack two weeks ago.
Colt Cabana pinned Delirious after a power bomb in 0:08:20.
Rating: *** 1/4
Cabana continues to chalk up victories after this one against newcomer Delirious.
After the match both guys shook hands in a showing of respect. Delirious seemed
to be screaming about something in a language nobody could understand, Cabana
helped him to the back after the match.
Samoa Joe pinned Mike Lozansky after a rollover in 0:06:23.
Rating: *** 1/4
Samoa Joe gets the victory tonight. We have been told that Samoa Joe is going
to take on The Pain Game in a 2 on 1 match after they attacked Joe back in Green Bay.
We will get a chance to see what kind of shape Joe is in when he takes on these
two big men! A victory tonight was an easy task with The Pain Game both taken out
by Sandman and Murdoch earlier in the show.
Jerry Lawler and Vampiro battled to a double countout in 0:13:13.
Rating: ** 3/4
Just to much hate between these two wrestlers to be held in the confines of a
wrestling ring with countouts and disqualifications. These two brawled all
over the ring and took it to the audience. The countout was the official ending
to the match, but after officials made their way down to try to break things
up Jerry Lawler threw a fireball in the eyes of Vampiro! Vampiro was screaming
bloody murder, but Lawler showed no remorse for using the flames.
Card rating: ***

Backstage Notes:
USWA finishes up our debut run in Wisconsin with a main event that was a
bit of a letdown to the fans.
Jerry Lawler is back in the USWA after about a month long absence and has
agreed to come out of retirement for a chance to get revenge on Vampiro.
Tonights Main Event looked to be a good one, but too much brawling, not enough
wrestling, the ref had to end the match on a double countout. Lawler even brought
back one of his old tricks, using a fireball in the eyes of Vampiro to end the
show.
The S.A.T's have 5 more cards remaining on their contract, but they will be given
an early release so they will be open to go work elsewhere. St. Paul will be
their last match with the company.
Ahmed Johnson will be making his long awaited USWA debut next week on Velocity.
The company has big plans for Ahmed and wants to give him an opportunity to be
put right in the thick of things with the big names in the USWA. A title shot
against Taz might be a bit of a stretch, but we will soon see if Ahmed's return
to wrestling is all that he has hyped it up to be.
With Halloween Havoc only one week away, we will be making our Minneapolis
debut with a special show in St Paul the night before Havoc. This will be the
final Velocity TV taping before this Sundays big show in Minneapolis.
X-Division champion 2 Cold Scorpio will be in action, South of the Border will
have one last match before their tag title shot, of course the debut of Ahmed
Johnson, and a NEW PRESIDENT of the USWA will be announced. That is all going
to take place next week in St Paul.
We then make our way to Halloween Havoc Sunday night October 27th in
Minneapolis! Lets take a look at the lineup for the show, it's a big one folks!
