Vampiro defeated Brian Christopher by disqualification in 0:07:16.
Rating: ***
[Alexis Laree interfered against Brian Christopher.]
Vamp is given the DQ victory when Christopher put Vampiro in a choke hold and
refused to let him out of it. Brian kinda just snapped in the ring. He has
been in a little feud with Vampiro since for a few weeks, and tonight he
couldn't deal with him.
Too Cold Scorpio pinned Michael Modest after a moonsault in 0:06:41.
Rating: *** 1/4
FINALLY these guys give us a winner. Too Cold wins the match in short time
after a perfect moonsault. Too Cold looked great in this matchup.
Michael Shane pinned Paul London with the Picture Perfect Elbowdrop in 0:14:50.
Rating: *** 1/2
[Tom Carter interfered against Michael Shane.]
Shane who is out of contention for the X title has to start over again, and he
does that taking on Paul London. Shane looked better taking on this young kid.
Interview:
Americas Most Wanted talks about Tag Gold.
Storm and Harris are in the ring and they tell the fans that they thank them
for not giving up, and that their hard work is paying off because they are in
the thick of things in the tag title division. They tell the fans that they
have both entered the King of the Death Match and want to prove to the fans,
their enemies, and themselves they are better than what most people think!
The Gangstas (New Jack and Mustafa) defeated Punk And Raven (CM Punk and Raven)
when New Jack pinned Raven after the 0 in 0:10:36.
Rating: *** 1/4
The Gangstas get the victory over Raven and Punk and move up the tag team
rankings. This could be the Summer of the Gangstas with New Jack in the top 10,
the tag team climbing the ladder, and the KOTDM coming up.
The Pitbulls (Pitbull 1 and Pitbull 2) defeated The Sandman and Tommy Dreamer
when Pitbull 1 pinned Sandman with the DDT in 0:15:29.
Rating: *** 1/2
Pitbulls defeate Sandman and Dreamer in a hot match. These 4 friends have
been in the ring before, but the office has made these guys face off again
to clear up tag title matches. Pitbulls look good. This could be the end for
one of the hottest tag teams in the USWA history.
Low-Ki pinned Bam Bam Bigelow after a Tidal Crush in 0:17:22.
Rating: *** 1/4
WOW Low-Ki gives Bigelow his first defeate in his short USWA career. Douglas
and Jarrett ran down to try to take out Ki but he held his ground.
The Triple Threat (Jeff Jarrett and Shane Douglas) defeated
Axl Rotten and Balls Mahoney when Douglas pinned A. Rotten with the
Pittsburgh Plunge in 0:16:44.
Rating: *** 1/2
Douglas and Jarrett continue to be in the tag race with the Gangstas and the
Pitbulls. Axl and Balls were unable to keep the Triple Threat out of their
way.
AJ Styles pinned Sabu with the Styles Clash in 0:08:51.
Rating: **** 1/4
AWESOME Main Event again tonight. AJ Styles shows everyone why he was former
champ, and one of the best in the company. AJ beat of of the legends of the
game in SABU.
Card rating: *** 1/2

Notes from the Backstage:
Corey Maclund: A great night in Bowling Green with the USWA office being very
happy with the results. It is clear that with Downtown Bruno in charge of the
company and Randy Hales looking over his every move it is all about the Title,
and the Top 10. Every week the USWA puts out a press release of the champs and
the top 10 wrestlers in the singles division and the top 5 in the tag team
division. This will be the standard from now until something drastic changes.
The fans seem to really like the idea of the TOP 10 and it creates new feuds.
The USWA has decided to cut the Death by Honor tour short due to poor ticket
sales. Tomorrow night we will be in Toledo, OH and then we will go straight to
Detroit for the 2 night KOTDM tournament.
