Rating: **
Halloween gets a clean victory over newcomer Altar Boy Luke. We don't know

Tazz and Tommy Dreamer when C. Harris pinned Taz after the Death Sentence in
0:10:00.
Rating: *** 1/2
(The Sandman no-showed.)
Dreamer came to the ring for the match and he said that Sandman couldn't be
here tonight, but he had this match and a shot to be the number one contender
to the tag titles. Tommy asked Tazz if he wanted Sandmans spot. Tazz accepted,
but they fell to the number one contenders Americas most wanted. AMW will get
a title shot tomorrow night in Columbus.

Rating: ****
(CM Punk retained the X Division Title.)
[Raven and Jim Mitchell interfered against Michael Shane.]
CM Punk takes down another number one contender in Michael Shane. The Refs were
not happy with Raven and Mitchel being at ringside. Bruno came out and told
Punk he had a hell of a match, but tomorrow in Columbus Shane will get a rematch, and it will be a ladder match WITH managers banned from ringside. The fans
went nuts for this announcement.

The Briscoe Brothers (Jay Briscoe and Mark Briscoe) when Pitbull 2 pinned
J. Briscoe after a power bomb in 0:07:17.

their commitments to the USWA and will be finishing with the company.
Michael Modest and Too Cold Scorpio battled to a draw in ::00:01.
Rating: **** 1/4
30 Minute DRAW between these two USWA stars. The fans loved this match. It
went back and forth all night with the fans on the edge of their seat. Modest
and Too Cold shook hands at the end. The fans wanted 5 more minutes, but it
was not given.
Vampiro pinned Tazz after a power bomb in 0:04:09.
Rating: *** 1/4
Vampiro gets an easy win over Tazz, who was visably exhausted from his tag
match from earlier. Vampiro has made his way up the rankings and should be
turning heads in the process of getting his title shot.
AJ Styles pinned Low-Ki with the Styles Clash in 0:14:47.
Rating: *** 1/4
Bam Bam Bigelow pinned Colt Cabana with the Greetings from Asbury Park in
0:15:01.
Rating: *** 1/4
a big surprise for the fans as Bam Bam Bigelow makes his USWA debut with a win
over Colt Cabana. Bigelow has signed a multi year deal with the company and
should be around for awhile. TAZZ came out and watched Bigelow in action.
The Can-Am Express (Doug Furnas and Phil LaFon) defeated
Steve Corino and Jerry Lynn when LaFon pinned Lynn with the Cobra Clutch Suplex
in 0:43:26.
Rating: *****
(The Can-Am Express retained the USWA Tag Team Titles.)
[Chris Harris interfered against Phil LaFon.]
an AMAZING main event match, which could go down as one of the best in c
the history of the USWA. 43+ minutes for these 4 stars to get a winner.
The Can Am Express defeated Jerry Lynn and Corino in a 5 STAR MATCH. This match
might have gone to the champs, but Corino and Lynn have brought themselves to
a new level by taking them to the limits. AMW tried to get involved and
the ref was about to DQ Lynn and Corino, they pleaded their case and they got
a continuation. After total exaustion, Lynn was pinned after a NASTY cobra
clutch suplex. Cam Am Express told them they could get a rematch later on down
the road.
