  Big win for Christopher and his group.

Tazz pinned Michael Modest after a Northern Lights suplex in 0:14:51.
Rating: ****

AWESOME match, with an awesome win by Tazz. Modest looked impressive for his
first singles match in the USWA. I think big things are expected from him.
AJ Styles was at ringside for the match scouting Taz.

Colt Cabana pinned Reckless Youth after a side step in 0:11:19.
Rating: *** 1/4

fast ending sequence sees Cabana get the win over former X division champ.
Cabana has stated he'd like to get an x title match in the future, against
one of his most bitter enemies CM Punk.

The Pitbulls (Pitbull 1 and Pitbull 2) defeated
The Briscoe Brothers (Jay Briscoe and Mark Briscoe) when Pitbull 2 pinned
M. Briscoe with the Super Bomb in 0:14:22.
Rating: ** 1/2

The Superbomb puts an end to the Briscoes tonight. Good tag action as the
Pitbulls stay in the race for a tag title match.

Batista pinned Randy Savage with the Sitout Power Bomb in 0:10:45.
Rating: ** 1/2

Batista ends Savage night early with a NASTY sitdown powerbomb! So far the
Legends have not gained a win over the young Triple Threat

Sabu pinned AJ Styles after a legdrop in 0:11:49.
Rating: *** 1/4

SABU pins the champ, with Taz at ringside. Tazz is not a fan of either of
these two right now, and Sabu came to play. I think AJ was kind of shocked 
with the ending of this match.

Interview:
Ric Flair comes to the ring

Flair talks about last night and his arguement with Dusty Rhodes. Flair says
everything is under control and to show there are no problems Flair and
Dusty are going to team up against Jarrett and Douglas.

Paul London pinned Michael Shane with the London Calling in 0:08:33.
Rating: **** 1/4

AWESOME X division matchup. London has been doing a great job as of late
collecting all kinds of wins.

[Jim Mitchell interfered against Colt Cabana.]

Doug Furnas wins the $15,000 battle royal. We had a lot of little things come
out of this match. Pitbull 2 and Vic Grimes got into a HUGE BRAWL when Grimes
was eliminated. Grimes has called him out for the next show. Donovan Morgan
was not happy with being eliminated by Jerry Lynn. Any match with those two
would probably be a classic.

The Legends (Dusty Rhodes and Ric Flair) defeated
The Triple Threat (Jeff Jarrett and Shane Douglas) when R. Flair made Douglas
 submit to a sleeperhold in 0:19:45.
Rating: ** 1/2

FLAIR WHOOOO the Sleeperhold? that hasn't worked in 10 years, but it spelled
the end for Douglas. The Triple threat lose to the legends tonight.
