Rating: ***
Latin Lover and Psicosis continue their quest to be the top tag team in the
USWA. Tonight they took on two legends of the USWA, Brickhouse Brown and
Reggie B Fine. Old time Memphis fans will know those names. Reggie B
came out and told the fans that they are coming back to the territory
to bring respect to the USWA. Tonight was not a good start for the legends.

week!

the first time since his devistating loss at A Night to Remember. Lawler

Rating: *** 1/2
Mike Awesome gets his first USWA victory over Universo 2000 tonight on
Challenge. Awesome started his USWA career out slow with losses to wrestlers
like Ulf Hermann and Ahmed Johnson, but his devistating Awesome Bomb proves
that he is going to be a wrestler to keep your eye on as we head into 2003.

pinned Cabana with the Martinette in 0:12:00.
Rating: **** 1/4
Making their return to the USWA, Damien 666 and Halloween get a victory over
Cabana and Delirious and continue their focus on a match with Super Crazy
and Universo 2000. Damien and Halloween looked great in the ring tonight
showing no signs of ring rust since their last run in with the company in the
90's.
Ulf Hermann pinned Konnan with the Slingshot in 0:14:09.
Rating: ****
Ulf Hermann gets a shot at former Global champion and comes away with a big
victory. After the match Ulf continued to attack Konnan until he had to
be stretchered out of the ring. Ulf Hermann has gone completely nuts since
losing to Taz on two seperate occasions. He seems to want to destroy anyone
thats in his way, accept the man he cant seem to beat, the Heavyweight Champion!
PG-13 (J.C. Ice and Wolfie D) defeated
Seasons Beatings (Xanta Klaus and The Christmas Creature) when J.C. Ice pinned
Klaus after a short lariat in 0:07:00.
Rating: * 1/2
Local Memphis wrestling promoter Bert Prentice has brought in two men known
as Xanta Klaus and The Christmas Creature in an attempt to ruin the holidays
of those wrestlers in the USWA. Lets just say that wasn't the case tonight as
PG-13 made short work out of Berts latest tag team.

Rating: ** 3/4
After the attack on Harris and Duncum at A Night to Remember, Sandman was
booked in a singles match against BDJ. Bobby is undefeated in singles action
since his arrival in the USWA, until tonight. The Sandman gets the victory
and becomes the first man in the USWA to beat Bobby Duncum Jr.
AJ Styles pinned Alex Shelley with the Styles Clash in 0:08:21.
Rating: *** 1/4
In another X-Division matchup AJ Styles gets the pin on New Europe member
Alex Shelley! Shelley looked good in singles action, but AJ was just too
much for him!
Ultimo Guerrero and Nigel McGuinness and Latin Lover and Psicosis
battled to a draw in 0:20:00.
Rating: ****
(Ultimo Guerrero and Nigel McGuinness retained the Tag Team Titles.)
In our main event, Psicosis and Lover get a rematch for the tag titles, this
time in a 2 on 2 match. They took the champions to the limits, but once again
this one ends in a time limit draw! A solid main event, but once again we have
yet to get a clear winner when these four men meet in the ring.
Card rating: *** 1/4
Match observations:
Backstage Notes:
The night started off hot with Taz being jumped and challenged to a
5 on 5 war games match to finish off the 2002 season here in the USWA.
Its almost a given we will see Ulf, Harry Smith, Alex Shelley, and Doug
Williams but who will be the 5th member? Now more than ever Nigel needs
to come back to his roots with his fellow New Europe members.
On the other hand you have Taz who has no friends on this planet. Sean
Morley will probably join the fight, and some are saying PG-13, but Taz and
his 5 man team is really up in the air. Who is willing to bring the fight
to New Europe?
Latin Lover and Psicosis once again take the Tag Team champions to the limit.
A wild main event with the question still being asked, who is the better
team? Lover and Psicosis or our Tag Team Champions?
The Sandmans victory over BDJ marks Bobbys first USWA loss in singles
competition. It will be interesting to see how he bounces back.
We have several big names that have expiring contracts after our next
Velocity TV taping. Konnan, Vampiro, Chris Harris and Super Crazy will
all be involved in negotiations. We will have more on that story as it
develops.
