Steve Bradley pinned Rik Ratchet with the Smashmouth in 0:09:17.
Rating: **** 1/4

In a warmup for his match at Havoc, Steve Bradley gets the victory over
Ratchet in X-Division action. Bradley has been getting back into shape with
a few matches this month. It's the first action we have seen him in since his
first stint in the USWA back in early 2001. He looks good and should be heavy
competition for Jerry Lynn. 

Ahmed Johnson pinned Alan Stone with the Pearl River Plunge in 0:7:52.
Rating: *** 1/2

We finally got a chance to see the Pearl River Powerhouse in action as he 
made his USWA debut. Ahmed is in great shape and really looks like the guy
who made that run in the WWF back in 1996. A big victory tonight in front of
the fans.

Val Venis pinned Justin Cage with the Money Shot in 0:11:35.
Rating: ****

Val Venis put on quite a show tonight in a singles bout before he takes on 
Christopher Daniels for the global championship. Havoc will be the first 
time ever these two athletes meet up in the ring, and eveyone is expecting a
great matchup. 

South of the Border (Universo 2000 and Super Crazy) defeated
The Spanish Announce Team (Joel Maximo and Jose Maximo) when Universo 2000
 pinned Jose Maximo after a flying bodypress in 0:12:10.
Rating: ****

All the wrestlers that are competing for the titles at Havoc got a match
tonight on Velocity and Universo 2000/Super Crazy might be the team that
looks the best going into their tag title shot. They have been on quite the
winning streak as of late, and Nigel and Ultimo are still rusty since they
have only recently been getting back in the ring together. A victory tonight
over the S.A.T's was a big statement to the current tag champs that Universo
and Crazy are ready to wage war for those USWA Tag Titles. 

Konnan pinned Doug Williams after a power bomb in 0:15:23.
Rating: *****

Konnan was booked to take on Doug Williams in his return to USWA action from 
a quick tour of Mexico. Upon his return he was booked in a match against a 
member of his most hated group New Europe. Nobody expected a match quite
like this, as Konnan and Doug Williams put on the elusive 5 star match. 
Konnan gets the victory, but officials have already begun to look at a rematch
in the near future. 

Too Cold Scorpio pinned Mike Lozansky with the Flying Scorpio Splash in 0:13:56
.
Rating: ****

The X-Division champion sees action tonight. We haven't seen Scorpio in action
since his victory over Lynn in the towel match. The champ is still looking good,
and from what we are told he will be defending the title on an upcoming episode
of Velocity AFTER we see the fallout of Halloween Havoc! 

PG-13 (J.C. Ice and Wolfie D) defeated Steve Madison and Bobby Blaze when
Wolfie D pinned B. Blaze after the Hubcap in 0:07:02.
Rating: ****

PG-13 back in action tonight, J.C. Ice was asked after the match his thoughts on
his father being named President of the USWA, Jamie said he had no problems with
it. As a kid growing up he was never given any special treatment and he doesn't
expect it to happen here. He said him and Wolfie are dedicated to advancing up
the rankings of the tag division and becoming champions once again.

Taz made Harry  Smith submit to the Tazmission in 0:06:13.
Rating: ****
(Taz retained the Heavyweight Title.)

Taz comes to the ring and tells New Europe he can't wait till Havoc and
because he's a fighting champion he is willing to put the title up tonight
against any member of their faction! With Nigel not even paying attention to
the latest, Doug Williams already exhausted from his loss to Konnan, Harry 
Smith was given the chance to take on the Human Suplex Machine. Harry tried
to bully Taz around, but it didn't take long for Taz to get Harry in the
Tazmission and tap him out to defend his title heading into Hallowee Havoc!

3 Way dance
AJ Styles vs Bobby Fish vs Chad Collyer 

And we now know that CM Punk and Low Ki will go at it in a steel cage with
cage escapes as the only way to victory.

The biggest news to come out of our St. Paul show was the return of The Superstar
Bill Dundee to the USWA as our NEW President. Lawler agreed to step down so he
could get back in the ring to face Vampiro. In 1 show Dundee put together a 
3 way dance, announced the stipulation for the best of 7 series match, and
from what we hear he has something in store for Too Cold Scorpio. Apparently
Dundee is not happy with the X-Title not being defended at Havoc. 

We know Scorpio will be in the building, because all of his flunkies are on
the show, but 

Some other notes about the USWA.... We have a preview of the Halloween Havoc
show up on the website for your viewing pleasure. It takes a look at each match
and what brought us to the meetings at Halloween Havoc.

Management has booked out shows for the USWA up until February of 2003. Some
Obviously our biggest show of the year will be A Night to Remember from St.
Louis on November 17th, We will tape Velocity every Saturday and then we will
present Christmas Chaos 2002 from our own backyard at the recently renovated
Mid-South Coliseum on December 29th. 

In January we will be changing the Velocity schedule a bit. We will tape 2 weeks
of TV on The 4th in order to bring you our 8 man X-Division second anniversary 
tournament, along with our return for a second PPV on January 25th, New Years
Revolution. 

February has becoming a month of touring for the USWA, next year we won't be
leaving the U.S. but we will be doing a west coast tour. We have only held 
Velocity TV shows in Los Angeles up until this tour. We will make our debut in
the Pacific Northwest with a show in both Seattle and Portland, San Francisco, 
San Jose, and Long Beach have all been booked. This will be a major expansion 
into the west coast for the USWA starting in February with our Milestone Series.
